Chapter two is up. I couldn't wait for more reviews, but I did get two nice ones, and for that, I am happy.
Warnings: Same as before, yaoi.
Beast Boy waited in his room for someone to knock on his door and tell him dinner was ready. After a couple of hours, and no one showing up, he got too bored to stay in there any longer. He left his room, and as he walked down the hall, smelled something. It made his stomach ache and as he reached the main room, he saw a pizza box hanging open, with half of it gone.
"Well gee, thanks for inviting me to the pizza party!"
"Friend, you are home!"
"Home? Star I've been home for the past couple of hours."
"Really? I never saw you come in."
"Where's Cyborg? He could vouch for me."
"He left a few minutes ago Beast Boy, we don't know where he went."
Beast Boy looked around for Raven, when he found her sitting on the couch reading, he wanted to go up to her and yell, but when she stared at him with those deadly eyes of hers, he backed off. He just walked off and decided to give them the cold shoulder for the next couple of days, everyone except Cyborg of corse. As he wandered aimlessly through the tower, he thought about how much he would like to get back at everybody. Play a prank on each of them for leaving him out. But, it wasn't Starfire or Robin's fault, just Raven and Cyborg's. But he couldn't do anything to them.
"Hey, BB! There you are."
"Cyborg? Why didn't you ask me if I wanted some pizza?"
"I thought you were sleeping, so I just went ahead and left some for you. Didn't you see it on the table?"
"That was for me? I thought it was yours."
"I could have eaten it all if I wanted to, but I saved the other half for you, since it's tofu."
"You ate half of a tofu pizza!"
"No, I just ordered half tofu and half with everything else."
"What about the others, did they eat?"
"Yeah, they had their own pizza. I decided for us to share one, since we eat the most."
"Really...... Well.... Thanks, Cyborg."
"No prob, little man."
Beast Boy shrugged at the thing Cyborg just called him. It made him feel small and insignificant, but then again, in Cyborg's eyes, he was probably just that. He smiled at Cyborg as the half man, half robot walked away. After he vanished into the shadows, Beast Boy ran to the box of pizza to finish it off.
"Tofu, yum!"
"That was a nice thing Cyborg did, ordering for you."
"Yeah, it was really cool of him."
"He seemed to think a lot about you when we went to get the pizza."
"Really, you act like we are, in love."
"I wish you two were."
"WHY!?!"
"So you would leave me alone."
Beast Boy had to admit it, he did find Raven attractive, at times he even tried to kiss her, but she never allowed him to get anywhere near her face. At the present time though, she was completely off of his mind. She buried her face in her book again, only after showing a brief smile. Beast Boy had never seen her smile before, except for that time when he and Cyborg ran into the pink version of her inside of her mind.
He remembered it so clearly, mainly because that was the only time that he and Cyborg were ever really alone together. He also remembered how Cyborg was afraid of those four-eyed birds. It made him want to laugh, just by thinking of it. Cyborg was this huge, strong, and seemingly fearless warrior, and yet he was afraid of a few tiny birds. Beast Boy wished they were back there, but then again, it was a little too creepy for his liking. He then remembered when he turned into that lama, and cyborg was riding him. Out of all the titans, Cyborg was the only one who had ever ridden him. It felt good when he did, even if he was sometimes a little too heavy.
Beast Boy rode the elevator up to the roof to relax. It was so eerie how the moon was not able to be seen. But the stars were brighter without it. He found the big dipper and traced it with his index finger. He then took his eyes off of the sky and saw one of Cyborg's weight machines. He walked over to the aggressive looking thing, and tried to figure it out. Once he sat on the seat and found the thing to pull on, he strained to pull the weights up, just a little if at all. He gave up, but when he looked at how much weight he just tried to budge, he laughed at the thought of being able to move it. Six hundred pounds, that wasn't even all that Cyborg could lift, with his pinky.
Beast Boy then felt a rain drop hit his nose. In less than five seconds, it was pouring. "The machine, it'll rust", Beast Boy said as he ran over to a tarp that was about fifteen feet away from the machine. He quickly covered the machine and ran into the elevator before getting too hopelessly wet. "Well, that was my good deed for the day", Beast Boy joked as he reached his level.
"Hey Beast Boy, what were you doing up there in the rain?"
"Just thinking Robin."
"Well I'm turning in for the night, see ya in the morning."
"See ya."
Beast Boy went back into his room to change and then left to go back to the main room, where everyone else was. Cyborg was playing a game and Starfire was talking to Raven as she tried to read. Beast Boy looked over at Cyborg and decided to suck up his feelings and challenge him to a match.
"Hey dude! Bet you can't beat me."
"Bring it on!"
"I plan to."
They both picked a player and no sooner than starting the match, Cyborg won. And again, and again. every match they played, Cyborg would win almost untouched.
"Hey, are you going easy on me?"
"No, you're just too fast, slow down."
"You act like you've never played before, I want you're best game or else!"
"Or else? Or else what?"
"You don't even want to know, now lets play!"
"Fine, you're going down!"
They started the match and it seemed that Beast Boy was going easy on him, since he won the first round effortlessly. The second one, Cyborg won barely, but the third one, went on forever. Every punch and kick was blocked from each combatant. Two minutes into it, neither of them were harmed. They were so into it, they didn't even notice Raven walk in front of the television while hiding her face between the pages of her book, as she tried to get away from Starfire, who was right behind her. Three minutes later, Beast Boy won and Cyborg just stared at his controller.
"Why? Why? Why?"
"Hahaha, looks like I beat you. Hey guys, did you see how I whipped Cy's...... Hey, where did they go?"
"How did you beat me?"
"Guess I'm the best."
"Just wait. I'll get you back...
"Whatever, I'm heading to bed."
"Yeah! You better run!"
Beast Boy left the room, but only after sticking his tongue out at the angry teen who was still sitting on the couch. After that, he danced all the way to his room. As he walked in and shut the door, he was hit by a feeling of overwhelming triumph. Not only for beating Cyborg, but also being able to sit next to him and have fun with him at the same time. He did good, and planed to do even better tomorrow, maybe...
Cyborg sat on the couch wondering how he could have lost. It was his game, he was the one who bought it and played it nonstop, how could Beast Boy just stroll in and completely dominate him. Not only that, but why did he go so easy on him in the beginning? He had never let down a chance to prove himself before, why did he start now? "He was mocking me", Cyborg said as he tried to figure out a good reason for Beast Boy's behavior. "That's it", he yelled as he stampeded towards Beast Boy's room to strangle the life out of him.
When he arrived in front of his door, he opened it quietly to not make Beast Boy aware of his presence. He slowly walked in and looked over the surroundings for any sign of the smaller titan that would soon be eating his fist. He looked all around and then spotted him on the top bunk of his bed. Being as tall as he was, Cyborg could easily see over it. When he saw Beast Boy's face, the thoughts of getting even left his mind, the only thing he felt was something strange. It wasn't the feeling of love of anything like that, but seeing Beast Boy's innocent looking face as he slept made Cyborg not want to do anything that might disturb him. All he wanted to do was watch him sleep. So he did.
He watched him fall deeper and deeper into sleep that he almost lost himself as well. When he started getting tired he just pulled the blankets up over Beast Boy and left his room. "He looked so happy and serene", Cyborg thought as he reached his room. As he entered his room and did his nightly procedures before placing himself on his hard, upright bed, he could only envy Beast Boy. He wished he could sleep like that, but all he could do is plug himself in and wake up in the morning. He remembered how he slept before the accident. It was so enjoyable, that he wanted to stay in bed all day. But now, he couldn't wait to wake up. He used to have dreams as well. He still dreamed, but they were meaningless dreams. They were more like nightmares really. He would relive the accident and the tedious surgery, even though he was asleep throughout the whole thing, he could imagine it.
As he would dream these things, he would feel his pride and happiness die. Every night he would slowly become weaker. That's why he pushed himself so hard everyday, so he could gain in strength what he lost in joy. He missed his body, but most of all, he missed his girlfriend. No one knew about her, mainly because he kept her a secret. Before the accident they were closer than anyone else in the whole school, but after he was remodeled into a robot she dumped him. He scared her away, and she never came back. This killed him the most. He would never be loved again, and could never love anyone back even if he was loved. Tonight was no different. He had the dreams again, and felt some of his soul slip away, but before he woke up, he could feel it come back. The thing that brought it back stayed hidden, but deep inside, he knew what it was, Beast Boy. But why was it him? Why couldn't it be Raven? He'd say Starfire, but she was taken by Robin. The truth is, Raven just wanted to be alone. She didn't want anything to do with love, not yet at least.
In the morning, everything was normal. Robin was training in the back, Starfire was watching him, Raven was locked up in her room, Beast Boy was playing some music in the main room, and as for Cyborg, he was still in his room, asleep. For some reason, he didn't wake up early. He did wake up though, just later than usual. The first place he went was to the roof. "I can't believe I'm up here before having breakfast", said Cyborg as he walked across the wet roof to his covered up machine. "Who covered this? I sure wasn't up here last night. I didn't even know it was raining", Cyborg said as he touched the tarp with his robotic hands, But instead of throwing the tarp off and working out, he just passed it by and went to the edge of the rooftop. He looked across the whole city and next to one of the skyscrapers, saw black smoke rise into the air. Then his titan alert in his red eye went off.
"What's up Robin?"
"I don't know yet, but we need to get to the site of the attack quick!"
"Right. I'm coming."
"Meet you there."
Cyborg rode the elevator to the bottom level and caught Raven before she flew off. She picked him up and they flew off to find out what was happening. Once the got there, the others had already made it. Starfire and Beast Boy were investigating a huge hole in the middle of the street while Robin asked a woman some questions. Raven put Cyborg down next to Starfire and then hovered over to Robin to listen in on what the woman was saying.
"You say you have no idea where he went?"
"No, but I do know that he was a man that was about as tall as her, and had long, black hair. Come to think of it, it think it was a woman."
"Well then, what was she wearing?"
"It was hard to tell from here. But all I could tell was that it was covering her whole body except for her arms and face."
"Thank you. Now you better leave."
"Yes."
Once Robin and Raven went back to the giant hole, the woman ran between two buildings and disappeared. Beast Boy jumped down into the hole and looked around for anything suspicious. When he came back up with nothing, Robin became upset at not knowing who it was. Since it was a woman, that ruled out the chances of it being Slade, but then who could she be. When they were about to call it quits, something exploded and sent Cyborg and Raven flying.
"Cyborg", Beast Boy shouted as he ran towards the fallen titans. Robin and Starfire stayed back and looked for the person who was responsible.
"Up there!"
"You! Who are you?"
Up on top of a building looking over the wreckage, was a woman with long black hair. She jumped down and when she hit the floor, lunged at Robin. She managed to kick him in the ribs, and once she did, she flipped backwards and watched as Starfire helped him up. Behind them was nothing but dust rising from the hole, and out of it came Beast Boy shaped as a bull, who was charging at the woman. She merely swiped her hand and delivered a surprisingly lethal blow to the raging bull. Beast Boy turned back to normal and was temporarily knocked out.
"Be lucky he isn't dead!"
".... Who are you?"
"You're worst nightmare!"
"Can't you think of anything better to say?"
Raven and Cyborg walked next to Robin and Starfire as they watched the mysterious woman. "Cyborg! Check on Beast Boy", Robin ordered as he felt his ribs. It turned out that she had broken one when she kicked him. Starfire and Raven prepared to fight after Robin was propped up on a nearby car when Cyborg reached Beast Boy. The woman watched him as he picked Beast Boy up and ran back over to the others. Once Beast Boy was placed next to Robin on the hood of the car, Cyborg joined the girls in a readied, fighting stance.
"Do you think that you three can beat me?"
"Were sure not about to go down without a fight!"
"Well then, give me your best shot."
After that was said, Starfire and Cyborg bolted at the woman with a furious vigor. The woman turned around and ran, but not for long since she jumped into the air and tried to kick Starfire. She missed by an inch and went after Cyborg. With her super fast speed, Cyborg could barley keep up with her kicks and punches. With the woman completely distracted, Raven was free to do whatever she pleased. She looked around for something to throw at the woman. She began to levitate a car, but was stopped by Robin. "We don't want to kill her", was all he said so instead of a car, she picked a newspaper vendor and threw it at the woman who had now turned back to Starfire.
With the machine hurtling towards them, Starfire surprised the woman by dunking. When the woman turned around, she saw the machine a second before it slammed into her face. The powerful force threw her to the ground with a massive headache. As she rubbed her head, Cyborg wrapped his metal arms around her so that she could not escape.
"Star, help me out here, she's gonna get loose!"
"No she wont."
Raven walked up to the woman and did something very strange in order to knock her out. Cyborg held the sleeping woman in his arms, and once the police got there, they did everything they could to her so that she couldn't get away. But what puzzled them was what she wanted. They still didn't know anything about her, not even her name. They let it pass, thinking she was just an everyday crook, but then again, why was she so strong and fast?
Once everything settled down, Starfire flew Robin to the nearest hospital to get his rids looked at. Raven and Cyborg went home with the sleeping Beast Boy, in hopes that he would wake up soon. When they reached the tower, they put Beast Boy on the couch in the main room so he could sleep where everyone would be able to watch him.
"Who was she?"
"I don't know, but I feel like I've seen her somewhere before. To bad I didn't get a good look at her face."
Cyborg couldn't get the thoughts of the woman out of his head. When she was attacking him, he saw that one of her arms was robotic, just like his. Her hair was so long that it covered her face when ever she threw a punch or a kick. When he looked at her other arm as he held her, he could tell that she was black, and just a little lighter than himself. She kinda reminded him of...
"What happened?"
"You were knocked out by that woman."
"God, she hits hard, ouch. Are you two alright?"
"Yeah, she just threw us. Nothing too serious."
"Were is Starfire, and Robin?"
"Starfire had to take Robin to the hospital, BB. That woman broke one of his ribs."
"You were lucky she didn't do any more damage to you. Robin said that blow she gave you looked deadly."
"Yeah, well.... Thanks for bringing me home."
"Anytime."
"If you two don't mind, I think I'll go to my room and meditate."
"See ya Raven."
Beast Boy and Cyborg just sat in an uncomfortable silence as both of them fought for something to say. Beast Boy rubbed the back of his neck where the woman had hit him and winced at the pain it caused.
"Hey Beast Boy. Do you know who put the tarp on my weight machine up on the roof?"
"Yeah dude, I did."
"Thanks."
"No prob, you did get me that pizza after all."
"What were you doing up there anyway."
"Robin asked me that too. I was just thinking."
"About what?"
"......... I can't really say right now."
Cyborg looked away from Beast Boy and stared out the window in front of the couch. Beast Boy did the same as he brought his legs up so that he could lay his chin on his knees. It was sometime in the afternoon, and when Cyborg looked at the clock in his arm he announced to Beast Boy that is was around 3:00 P.M. "I wonder when the others will get back", questioned Beast Boy as he got up to fetch a snack from the kitchen. As he did, Starfire and Robin walked in. Starfire placed Robin on the couch next to Cyborg, stealing Beast Boy's seat.
"I can't believe I have to be practically immobile for five months."
"It isn't that bad Robin. We'll take care of the city while you get better."
"It's not just that, I want to know who that woman is."
As they talked about the woman and Robin's injuries, Beast Boy slipped into the hall leading to everyone's room. As he reached his door, Raven turned the corner causing Beast Boy to jump.
"Robin's back."
"How is he?"
"He'll be off his feet for a few months."
"You're still rubbing you're neck, let me help."
Raven put her hands around Beast Boy's neck and in a few seconds, the pain was gone. "I forgot you could do that", Beast Boy said as Raven continued on to the main room where Robin was. Beast Boy entered his room and finished his snack.
"Raven, did that villainous woman cause you any harm?"
"Not much Starfire, but I think I can help with Robin."
"What can you do?"
"I can try and heal you with my powers Robin."
"You can do that? We never knew about that."
"Only Beast Boy knew. Now, in order for this to work, you need to be very still and stay quiet so that I can concentrate. Mending broken bones is much harder than healing cuts and bruises."
Raven placed her hands over Robin's broken rib, and in a few minutes, it was as good as new. When she took her hands away, she fell back. She collapsed into Cyborg's arms when he scooped her off the ground. "I need rest", she said as Cyborg took her to her room. She insisted that he leave her by the door. No matter how tired or badly injured she was, she would never let anyone in her room, except for Starfire, and that was only when she wanted to meditate. Sometimes Beast Boy would enter without permission, but she would make sure that he would never want to come back in.
With Raven and Beast Boy asleep in there rooms and the others just waiting for some news to come up on the mysterious woman, the day seemed to be over, but one thing they didn't know was that she had escaped from the authorities and was on her way to Titans Tower.
Was this a good addition to the story? Yes? No? I'll never know until someone reviews. Until the next chapter, later!-
