Chapter 14

Jealousy

(Beast Boy)

I flipped madly on the Gamestation 3's controller. The other day, it felt like we were waiting for some bomb to explode, seriously. But today, the air seemed to be a whole lot lighter. What's more is that Raven and Robin seems to be back to their normal selves. Which is good, right?

Speaking of Robin, he's totally kicking my butt in a video game at the moment.

"Dude! You can't do that!" I exclaimed as Robin's fighter gave mine a drop kick from hell.

"I can and I did," Robin said arrogantly, smirking.

"Oh yeah? Wait till you see this!" I said as I made my fighter do a flying roundhouse kick.

"Good one, but not good enough!" Robin exclaimed as his fighter caught the leg of mine in mid-air. "C'mon, show me what you've got Beast Boy!"

The game ended with Robin's fighter finishing mine off with his special move, the five-star burning fist. "HAHA!" he cackled merrily. Oh man… I don't know if it's a good thing he's back to normal. The dude's impossible…

"That's it, I give up…" I said with a scowl.

"Already?" Robin said with a long face.

"Dude, you've been winning against me for, like, since I woke up," I said, a bit grudgingly. "Give me a break…"

Robin then turned to Cyborg. "Wanna go a few rounds tin can?"

"Oh you are on, bird brain!" Cyborg shot back, grabbing the controller.

"Boys," Raven muttered under her book. I saw Robin smile.

I couldn't quite place it, but I swear, there's still something going on between Robin and Raven that we don't know. Star seems to have an idea about it though… I smirked. Maybe Raven tried some kind of hypnotism on Robin when they were stranded. Hmmmm…

I looked around the room. It's turned back into the living room that I missed so much. Starfire's feeding Silkie with a Tamaranean meal she cooked herself. Raven's reading her book, a mug of her usual herbal tea on the table in front of her. Lastly, Robin and Cyborg are duking it out on the Gamestation 3. Finally, my real home sweet home…

I sure wish Terra were here with us…

I shook my head. There isn't anything to worry about. She already chose to let me know that she remembered everything. I should take it slow. It's only a matter of time until I can convince her to come back to the tower.

SCREET! SCREET! SCREET!

I guess the alarm was bound to sound anytime soon. There's always a lowlife who needs a good thrashing almost everyday. All of our eyes met at the same time.

"Let's go," Robin said, and in an instant, we were off.


"Titans, GO!"

After Robin's signature phrase, I morphed into a lion then lunged at the idiot closest to me, Control Freak. Fortunately for him, he was able to dodge out of the way just in time.

"Nyahahahaha! Missed me!" He snorted as he bounced away.

Punk Rocket zoomed in for an attack. He took a swing at me in mid-air, but missed. Laughing madly, he landed in front of me and slipped on his guitar.

"The Teen Titans! My biggest fans!" He exclaimed, making a stance. "This is for all of you out there! Let's turn on the volume!"

Punk Rocket strummed hard. The force of the sound waves sent me, along with Raven and Starfire, crashing into the nearest wall. The sound was too intense. As Punk Rocket went crazy with his guitar, all three of us were left kneeling and clutching our ears.

"Sure you have the sonic, but do you have the boom?" Cyborg taunted.

Robin came out of nowhere. He dashed at full speed towards us and did a nice somersault, throwing a flurry of disks in mid-air. When Robin was out of range, Cyborg blasted the disks, causing them to explode right in Punk Rocket's face. The villain went flying, inevitably hitting an innocent streetlight. He was out cold, his guitar reduced to pieces.

"Sweet move!" I exclaimed. Robin and Cyborg's Sonic Boom attack always looked cool.

"My! My! That was a showstopper!" Mumbo Jumbo mocked from behind. "Now for the next act. The show must go on!"

Mumbo held out his hat and waved his wand over it. A flock of doves suddenly materialized out of it. They flew directly above us, bombarding us with… explosive dung! Robin lunged at Raven, grabbing her out of the way of an extremely large one. Guess Mumbo still has that little grudge on Raven.

"You alright?" Robin asked her.

"Y-yeah, thanks," She replied. Robin was still cradling her in his arms. "Um, you can put me down now."

"Oh… sorry," Robin said, putting her back on her feet. She immediately summoned a barrier of dark energy around us.

Mumbo was still cackling madly. Starfire looked at me and I gave her a nod. After I transformed into an Armadillo, she grabbed me like I were a starbolt, poised to strike. Raven made a small opening on the barrier, then Star threw me at full force towards Mumbo. Seeing that he was unable to react in time, I morphed into a tiger then gave his wand a swing. My paw hit its mark, snapping the wand in two.

"My magic!" Mumbo exclaimed as the doves disappeared and he changed back to his normal form.

I looked around. Cyborg and Starfire were taking on Control Freak, while Robin's engaged in a vicious one on one with Katarou. We took down two of them and now the other Titans were taking care of two more. There were originally five of them, so that left us with…

I heard Raven's yelp of pain. I spun around to see that Dr. Light had just blasted her with one of his light rays. Instinctively, I caught her before she hit the ground. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Robin gape at us. However, his hesitation had its toll. Katarou hit him with a great swing of his staff, sending him flying.

"Robin!" Raven gasped, quickly getting up and zooming towards his direction.

Robin was enveloped in dark energy. Slowly but surely, Raven lowered him to the ground. He seemed to look pissed off.

"You okay?" Raven asked him.

"I'm fine!" He snapped, hastily going back to action.

Raven hesitated for a moment. "This has gone on long enough," She muttered, fury burning in her eyes. "Azarath. Metrion. ZINTHOS!"

Suddenly, Raven raised her hand and released a powerful blast of dark energy towards Katarou, sending him flying right through a solid, brick wall. She then turned her attention to Dr. Light. Terrified by the expression on Raven's face, he tried to run away, but was roughly bound by large sewer pipes instead. Lastly, Raven raised a hand towards Control Freak's direction. She closed the palm of her hand violently, making the remote explode in his hands.

My jaw dropped. Cyborg and Starfire stared at Raven. Robin was the only one who didn't seem to be awestruck by what Raven did. How could he not be?

"Whoa…" was the only response that I can muster.


"Sweet!" I exclaimed. It was about 4:45 pm, and the hooligans in question were now counting stars in jail. "Dudes, that was the coolest butt kicking session ever! We hadn't done that well since… when, exactly?"

"Doesn't matter BB," Cyborg said, ruffling my hair. "Punk Rocket, Control Freak, Mumbo Jumbo, Katarou and Dr. Light, all nabbed in record time!"

"And Raven was sooooo cool," I ranted on, giving Raven a great big bear hug.

"Quit it," Raven said fiercely, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Good work Titans, that was one heck of a---" Robin stopped in mid sentence when he glanced at us. "Well, I didn't know this was a mushy moment."

"What?" Raven said as she pushed me away. She looked as puzzled as I was.

"Nevermind!" Robin said grumpily, walking up the stairs.

When Robin faded out of sight, I glanced at Raven. She didn't seem angry, but she did look like she was bothered by Robin's comment.

"What's with him?" I asked her.

Raven chose to ignore me. With one swift swish of her cloak, she went up the stairs after Robin.

And here I thought she was weird.


"No."

"C'mon Raven!" I said. "You didn't even hear what it was yet!"

"I said no," Raven shot back.

"Ah! But now I have no choice but to give you the tickle therapy!" I said, mimicking Mumbo's tone.

But before I even laid a finger on her…

"OOF!"

Raven gave me a good knuckle sandwich, making me fall on my butt. Then she focused her attention back to her book.

"How sweet," Robin taunted from behind us.

Not a good idea. Raven shut her book violently, stood up, and gave Robin a very deadly glare. Robin, surprisingly, returned it.

"What is wrong with you!" She retorted, the couch practically flying around, narrowly missing Cyborg's head.

"Oh nothing," Robin snapped back. He looked livid. "Just watching someone sharing her time in a way that we couldn't…"

"There is no we!" Raven shot back, cutting him off. Some of the lights in the living room exploded. Starfire gave out a small yelp of surprise. "Just you and me. Got it!"

"Yes ma'am!" Robin taunted, doing a mock salute.

"Dudes, you two have serious issues," I said, standing up and smiling sheepishly.

"SHUT UP!" Robin and Raven yelled at me in unison, making me fall on my butt yet again. Random objects flew in every direction.

With one final glare at each other, both of them exited the living room. Robin stormed through the door, while Raven phased into the ground.

There was a moment of silence. Our jaws dropped. All three of us looked at each other then at the chaotic state the living room was in.

"Uh, did I miss something?" I asked, standing up and massaging the chin Raven punched.

"I think they are merely stressed out," Starfire said with a smile.

They sure didn't look anywhere near tired at all.


A/N: Ooookay, if your askin', Raven still has no idea that Robin and Star broke up, and so does the other Titans. I'm still struggling for an idea on how the others would know, or how Star would tell them. A suggestion would be useful... Anyway, this is the only update for today. The story's getting a little tricky, so I'm actually spending more time erasing lines than typing them. Thanks for all your support.
