Two Pennies A Wish
Chapter 1: Wishing
Beast Boy smiled brightly as he looked over the edge of the fountain's rim, the cold cement tickled his skin beneath the thin protection of his gloves. He looked at the soft blue water against the dark night sky, the stars making illuminations against the surface of the water. Beast Boy looked at all the small coins in the water, quarters, dimes, nickels, and a lot of scattered pennies.
Suddenly the calm and peaceful environment was broken at the shrill beeping of his communicator. Beast Boy quickly fumbled for it, clumsily opening it. "Yeah?" Beast Boy answered only partially annoyed, as Robin's face appeared on the tiny screen.
Robin had that serious leader face spread out, "Beast Boy come over to the bank on Falcom Street. We have trouble." The communication was then shut off, leaving Beast Boy closed out from any objections. Not that he had any, being a Titan was something he had chosen to do, and obeying came with it.
Beast Boy looked one more time at the small fountain, the top lightly spraying water to the bottom. He then turned to the sky and felt his arms rapidly grow feathers.
Raven blasted Cinderblock with a rather huge amount of black energy. Cinderblock stumbled, but otherwise seemed unaffected from the attempt of battle.
Cinderblock then thrusted his mighty arm at the dark girl, and roared threateningly. No one was to get in the way of his job.
Raven dodged the attack and a blue beam was shot at Cinderblock when he attempted another act of violence. The beam came from Cyborg, who was now running the other direction as Cinderblock became interested in him.
Green starbolts came flaring down at Cinderblock from an enraged Starfire. Cinderblock grunted and looked up at her flying form. He picked up a rather large boulder and aimed it at the red head, then fired away.
Starfire 'eeped' and flew off in the other direction. Raven used her powers to lift up a large beam of metal, and threw it at Cinderblock. Cinderblock grabbed the beam and struggled against the strength of her power, and managed to take the beam from her telepathic grip.
Cinderblock then threw it back at her, knocking her unexpectedly out of the air.
"RAVEN!" Robin yelled as he threw a freeze disc at the walking brick.
Cinderblock's feet froze to the ground, and he roared in frustration, pounding his fists to his chest.
A green Tyrannosaurus Rex caught Raven as she pelted down from the sky. The monstrous creature roared and put Raven safely down on the top of the building next to it. Then Beast Boy charged at Cinderblock, his head colliding with Cinderblock's chest. Cinderblock fell to the ground, unconscious.
Starfire and Cyborg wasted no time in wrapping the brick beast in metal beams, so he was powerless.
The T-rex carefully took the dark girl from the cold roof of the building, and still holding her in his hands, transfigured back into his not so human form. Raven groaned and opened up her eyes before Beast Boy could begin to panic.. She looked up at him, "B-Beast Boy?" She questioned, her eyes had a dazed look in them.
Beast Boy grinned, "In the flesh." He replied wittily.
Raven rolled her eyes, "Beast Boy I can walk, I'm not disabled, so if you could kindly put me on the ground I would appreciate it."
Beast Boy mocked hurt, "Ouch Rae, I was just helping you out a little, you know, friend to friend." He said with a grin, as he let her down.
She stumbled a little, but regained her composure almost immediately, covering up the pain and hurt in her eyes with no expression whatsoever. Beast Boy liked little moments like that, where people just let their true feelings fall out to the world, letting you know that they were just as normal as you were.
Cyborg called the police and told them the exact location of Cinderblock, and to contact one of the Titans if they were to have any trouble.
Robin sighed, "Good job team, we're done here." He said quietly as he jumped on to his R-cycle and sped off, leaving a trail of dust as a goodbye.
Starfire frowned at Robin's quick departure, he had been more and more engrossed at finding Slade then he had ever been. Robin had told her it was only because he loved her too much, and Slade would use that as an advantage. So Starfire allowed him to continue his search for Slade. She was happy as long as he was happy.
Cyborg looked at his built in watch, smiling, "Well, I'll see y'all later, I have a date with Bee." He said looking down happily at them.
Starfire seemed overjoyed, as she clasped her two orange hands together, "Friend Cyborg I wish you joyful times and many blessings on your date with a friend comrade!"
Cyborg smiled brightly at the Tameranium, "Thanks Star," He then climbed into the driver seat of the T-car, and waved, "See y'all!" he cried happily. His trail becoming another scorched onto the slightly wet road.
Starfire turned to the two remaining Titans still looking at the departure of Cyborg, "I am most sorry friends, but I wish to slumber well tonight, for I have a date with Robin tomorrow morning." Her smile taking up at least half her face.
Beast Boy and Raven turned to her, and Beast Boy smiled, "Well see ya then Star." Raven simply nodded, and Starfire took to the sky with another wave goodbye to her friends.
Beast Boy shook his head, "Everyone is just so lovey dovey around the tower now, it's weird."
Raven nodded slightly, "For once I agree with you." She said with a frown.
Beast Boy smiled at her, "Ya, me and you are like, the only sane one's there!"
Raven said nothing, but continued to look up at the stars above her, no emotions playing in her eyes.
Beast Boy shrugged and then grabbed her arm, when she turned around, he just smiled, "I have to show you something."
Raven glared, "Do you have to rip my arm off in the process?"
Beast Boy let her arm go and smiled nervously, "Heh, sorry about that."
Beast Boy then waved his hand, telling her to follow, "C'mon Raven, you might like it."
Raven rolled her eyes, "Beast Boy I highly doubt I would like anything you like."
Beast Boy frowned, "Please Rae." He begged.
Raven sighed, "If you promise never to call me that again."
Beast Boy nodded, smiling, "You got it."
Raven frowned, she had a feeling she was going to regret this.
Beast Boy pointed to the small fountain that he had found. It was in the middle of a small park that some of the local kids would come and play at, the mothers sitting and talking, all the while trying to make sure their kids wouldn't get in trouble.
Raven walked up beside Beast Boy, putting her hood down, so that it now lay peacefully on her shoulders. She looked at the small pool of water that was swaying serenely threw the fountain, the small ripples of drops coming down from the top of the fountain. Raven looked at Beast Boy, confused at why he brought her here. Beast Boy just smiled and reached into his pocket, searching through it for something.
Beast Boy smiled as he pulled out what he had been searching for, opening his palm for Raven to observe the treasure, two pennies. One showing heads the other tails, two different sides of the same thing. Beast Boy dropped one penny into her pale hand, and nodded his head towards the fountain.
Raven raised an eyebrow, "What?"
Beast Boy grinned at her confusion, "Make a wish. It's easy, you just, think of something you want really badly, and throw the penny into the water." He said, demonstrating by making a small throwing motion.
Raven looked down at her penny then back up at him, "Does it work?" She asked thoughtfully, feeling like a small child being taught by her dad. Well, so she thought, her dad wasn't exactly the type to sit down and have friendly chats about small things like this.
Beast Boy grinned wistfully, "If you wish real hard, it might."
Raven raised an eyebrow, as if to tell him this wasn't her thing. Beast Boy frowned, "C'mon Rae, please, just this once. " Beast Boy pleaded, frantically trying to make her agree, "Please?" He gave her the face, the big, bright eyes, the small adorable pout, the face.
Raven sighed, no use telling him no, he would keep begging. Raven turned to the fountain, and closed her eyes, searching her mind for something she might want. Maybe for more peace and quiet to come into her world, or maybe for a new dark book. She frowned, those seemed to be nice but her heart was yearning for something more.
What could that something be though? She felt her emotions stir within her, as she thought harder. There was something out there that she wanted and needed. She thought back to the tower, where she would find Starfire and Robin regularly making out on the couch, she would end up moving. Cyborg would be in his room or in the garage, talking to Bumble Bee. People acted so different when they were in love. She never found Robin without the company of Starfire, and never saw Cyborg without his communicator talking to Bee. It was sickening, but in a way, beautiful. She had only felt love once, with Malchoir, but that ended bad, the man had not really been in love with her. Maybe what she really needed, was someone. Someone, who would hold her, accompany her, talk to her, understand her, and maybe call her beautiful.
She could feel herself mentally smile, and scolded herself immediately for acting like a young schoolgirl.
Raven slowly opened her eyes, she knew what she wanted. She looked at the penny once more, hoping that a little piece of copper in old water would grant her wish.
Raven then mentally made the wish in her head, and gently threw the penny into the water. There was a small splash and then, nothing, ripples gently making their way out of the place her penny had fallen.
Raven's gaze drifted a little at the fountain, and then casually wandered over to Beast Boy. He had a peaceful look on his face, a gentle smile playing over his features, his right hand grasping the penny tightly. Raven silently wondered what he could be wishing for. For all she knew it could be a moped, his mind probably holding the moped in his head greedily.
Suddenly his eyes opened, holding desire in his bright green eyes, he smiled as he let the penny drop into the awaiting water. His gaze lifted from the fountain and came to Raven's. He smiled, like he always did, and walked up to her. "Done?" He questioned casually.
Raven nodded, looking back to the fountain, "So what did you wish for?" She questioned the changeling.
He smiled mischievously at her, "When you make a wish your not supposed to tell anyone your wish until it comes true, or else it won't work."
Raven frowned, "I wouldn't have told you my wish even if we we're allowed to tell." She then turned to face him again, "Besides, I'm pretty sure you wished for a moped."
Beast Boy just kept right on smiling, "You might be surprised." He then yawned, "Might as well head back to the tower, it's getting kinda late."
Raven looked up to the moon and nodded, it was so bright, like it was making a promise to someone down below.
Raven lifted herself into the air, and Beast Boy found himself turning into an eagle. Flying side by side two friends flew into the sky, under the stars gaze.
And somewhere in a fountain, two pennies floated to the bottom, side by side.
Well, there's the first chapter. I hope you liked it. Sorry if that was a little short, I'll be working on making them longer. Please give me suggestions, I haven't planned too far ahead, but I know where I'm going with this. I'm sorry if Raven is a little OOC in any of these chapters, but life's going on and she's learning to move on, and her partner in all of this is Beast Boy of all people, so there's gonna be some major changes in life for her. Please forgive me if this doesn't fit right with you, but this is how I'm going to write.
Anyhow, review please, but if you don't, and this story brought a smile to your face, I'm just as glad!
Love and Peace
