A Murder of…Ravens?

Chapter Six

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans.

Summary: Ohoho! Slade's got a LOT to think about. BBxRaexSlade

SLADE'S POINT OF VIEW

Wh-what IS this, then! How come every hour, every minute, every second—his mind devotes it to Raven! What did he ever do to deserve this? Why is there this sudden urge to see how she's doing? Who could be as cruel and sadistic as this to do this to him!

I need to talk to someone…but who…

…

…

…

…

…eureka…

Who better to ask than HIMSELF? He motioned to one of the Sladebots.

'You there. I wanna ask you something.'

'What is it, sir?'

'What does it mean when you can't get somebody off your mind?'

'I'm afraid I can't answer that. We are based on yourself, sir. Questions that you can't answer are unknown to us as well.'

This was stupid. So very, very stupid.

BEAST BOY'S POINT OF VIEW

This was soo cool! He's got himself a date with Raven! A date, fer cryin out loud! Well, of course Raven doesn't know it's a date. In fact he's still got to ask her out.

Time for the casual stroll to the living room.

IN THE LIVING ROOM

'Hi, Raven.' Said Beast boy, smiling. He was kinda excited about his plan.

'Oh. Beast boy. Hi.' She said, opening the fridge.

Nonononononononononononononononononononononononononono!

'Uh yeah, i-was-wondering-coz-i-got-nothin-to-do-if-you-wanna-eat-out-with-me.' She still wasn't closing the fridge door.

'Why would I do that?' she said, scanning the fridge.

'Um um coz no one else can come! Robin's too busy googly-eyed at Starfire, and Cy's too busy making out with his car… so so…I don't have anyone to—'

'Count me out, please.'

'No I didn't mean that!' Turning red…good thing Raven was facing away! 'Please please come with me, will ya? I know a really really nice place just downtown! And it serves stuff other than tofu! Cool, huh!'

Raven, who was used to places that 'serves stuff other than tofu,' was nonetheless moved by her stomach. She closed the fridge door, turned to face Beast boy, looked at him intently in the eye, and took a deep breath… 'Alright…where to?'

DOWNTOWN

By the time they got there, their stomachs were growling. Apparently, 'downtown' was a far away place.

'The food better be good, Beast boy.'

'Good? Oh no, it's not just good, it's fantastic! Delish!'

'Oh please, spare me.' Her mouth was already starting to water.

'Table for two?' said a waiter, whose nameplate said Pickuritz.

'Nice name,' pondered Beast boy, staring at the nameplate. You don't see a big word everyday, ya know.

Raven just sighed. 'Yes, table for two please.'

After ordering, (Fish Fillet Amandine in Rich Lemon Sauce with Almonds for Raven and well, Tofu for Beastboy) the two Titans sat in silence.

'So, Raven…what's up?'

'Nothing much. It was weird though when Slade…' and their conversation trailed off.

(a/n: I'M REALLY REALLY HUNGRY NOW! TT) meanwhile…

AT SLADE'S HIDEAWAY once again

Somehow, staring at the two Titans and their little rendezvous did not ignite good feelings inside him. He zoomed in Raven's face just as Beast boy told her one of his jokes, and despite the lack of facial expressions, he could tell that the mirth in her eyes were sincere…he did not like this. He did not! He really absolutely definitely completely positively certainly terribly did not!

'Um..sir? Are you alright?'

'Huh? Oh, yes, why do you ask?' Slade sat properly once more as if nothing happened.

'N-nothing, sir.' The Slade-bot was positive that he saw his master behaving like the giant ape he saw once in the movie.

BACK TO THE 'RENDEZVOUS'

'Fish Fillet Amandine for the lovely lady, and Tofu for the lively lad.' Smiled Pickuritz.

'Best tofu I've ever seen. Thanks, Picku…Picka…uh……thanks!'

'Enjoy your meal.' Said Pickuritz in a somewhat less happier tone as he left the two Titans.

'Finally the food arrived.' Said Raven, cleaning her spoon with the tissue.

'I know, bon appetit!' replied Beast boy as he wolfed down his meal.

The smell of the fish blended so well with the faint aroma of lemon sauce over the steaming hot rice. She couldn't wait!

She gingerly took a bit of the fish and scooped a chunk of rice in her spoon, already savoring the flavor in her mind.

The spoon now neared her face…Three inches…Two…One…--

'So what is up with Slade nowadays? I mean, geez blaming you for some crazy stuff without proof even!'

She could continue eating and just reply later but then Beast boy would have to wait for a while and…well, it was nice of him to invite her here. If he didn't, then there would be no Fish Fillet Amandine for him to interrupt…so she put down the spoon and replied in the most monotonous voice she could muster.

'Tell me about it.' She neared the spoon to her mouth once again and—

'Are your orders satisfactory? There are no problems, I trust?'

Millions of sarcastic comments now ran through her mind, thankfully Beast boy answered.

'Yeah, thanks, Picks.'

Good. Now, time to eat.

She was about to pick up the spoon wh—

KABLAAM! There was an explosion outside!

Geez. She was getting grumpy. Real grumpy.

'I guess our dinner's gonna have to wait! C'mon, Raven!'

'Right behind you.'

What they saw was…baffling. Slade, standing in the street, was throwing bombs at nowhere in particular.

'Oh, Titans. Fancy seeing you here. Out on a date?' It was weird how he emphasized 'date' with spite.

'What's that to you!' snarled Beast boy, doesn't he think they look good together?

Raven was getting pissed. She was HUNGRY for Pete's sake! Doesn't anyone care!

'Look, Slade.' Her eyes were starting to glow. 'I'm hungry and I want to eat so go away already!'

'I can cook better than this crap!' retorted Slade, not really knowing why he said that.

'I was about to eat it finally, when you just had to interrupt!' A blast of black energy hit Slade squarely on his chest. Sending him into a far far distance.

'Nice shot.' Said Beast boy, staring at Slade's motionless form, 'You must be really hungry.'

'Ravenous.'

OxO woohoo! "DATE"

Slade-2 Beast boy -2

IF YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO YOU CAN READ THIS:

Partly the reason why I updated late was coz the internet was broke or sumthin. It was a terrible phase for me…So I decided to buy myself an internet prepaid. But I couldn't log in the site for a while after that. Must be an omen or something. Oh well.

Well anyways, I was wondering if you could tell by the way I write, if I'm a boy or a girl? Random thoughts. :)

Well, tata for now! Have a nice day and thank you once again.

Cheers! -------------------funkyfunky
