Me: "Well I'm glad everyone likes this so far. I'm usually a BBRAE shipper but like I said before, I just can't picture Raven acting like Nala. Start the fic."

Later it is raining in the savanna. The scene goes to a baobab tree; where inside 'Rafiki' is doing a painting of Beast Boy.

"Hm…A ha ha ha ha ha! Beast Boy." Said Beast Within.

He dabs his thumb in some green paint and spreads it above the picture of Beast Boy's head.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

A young Beast Boy looks over Titan Rock at the valley before him and runs into the cave excitedly. He leaps over several superheroes, accidentally jumping on a few.

"Dad! Daad! Come on, Dad, we gotta go. Wake up!" said Beast Boy.

Beast Boy accidentally jumps off a super heroine's stomach.

"Oops. Sorry." Said Beast Boy.

He sees Nightwing and tries to wake him up but fails. But that didn't stop him.

"Dad? Daad. Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad…"

"I do believe your son is awake." Said Starfire tiredly.

"Before sunrise he's YOUR son." Said Nightwing sleepily.

"Dad? Daad! Come on, Dad!" Beast Boy changed into a lion cub and started to tug on Nightwing's ear. "Daa…WHOA!" Beast Boy had lost his grip and fallen.

He then comes back and butts Mufasa in the back of the head. Nightwing eyes him sleepily.

"You promised!" said Beast Boy.

"Okay, okay. I'm up. I'm up." Said Nightwing.

"Yeah!" said Beast Boy.

Nightwing yawns sleepily. Nightwing and Starfire follow Beast Boy up to the top of Titan's Rock. Beast Boy changes into a little kitten and rubs up against Starfire; she nudges him ahead and stays behind. She has the look of a mother on her face as she sees her husband and child walk off for some bonding time at the top of Titan's Rock. Beast Boy is in awe at how big the savanna is.

"Look, Beast Boy. Everything the light touches is our kingdom." Said Nightwing.

"Wow." Was all Beast Boy could get out.

"A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Beast Boy, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king." Said Nightwing.

"And all this stuff the light touches will be mine?" asked Beast Boy.

"Everything."

"Everything the light touches…What about that shadowy place?" asked Beast Boy.

"That's beyond our borders. You must never go there, Beast Boy." Said Nightwing.

"But I thought a king can do whatever he wants." Said Beast Boy.

"There's more to being king than getting your way all the time."

"There's more?" asked Beast Boy in awe.

Nightwing chuckled a little.

"Beast Boy…"

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Later Beast Boy and Nightwing are walking in the grass land.

"Everything you see exists together, in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand the balance, and respect all creatures…from the crawling evil candy to the leaping Newfu." Said Nightwing.

"But dad don't we eat the Newfu?" asked Beast Boy.

"Yes, Beast Boy but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass. And the Newfu eat the grass to multiply themselves. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." Said Nightwing.

Raven appears out from the ground and lands on the rock.

"How does she do that?" asked Beast Boy.

"Trade secret squirt." Said Raven.

"Good morning Raven." Said Nightwing.

"Good morning sire. Checking in with the morning report." Said Raven.

"Fire away." Said Nightwing.

"Well the buzz from Bumble Bee is that the leopards are in a bit of a spot…" said Raven.

Beast Boy, uninterested, was changing into some small animals to try to catch a grass hopper.

Nightwing notices this and whispers to him "What are you doing son?"

"Shape shifting." Said Beast Boy disappointed in his skills.

"Let an old pro show you how it's done." Said Nightwing.

"You're a shape shifter too?" asked Beast Boy quietly but excitedly.

"Yes but don't tell your mother. It'll only confuse her even more." Whispered Nightwing.

If there was one thing BB knew it was that his mother could get confused quite easily.

"…The tick birds are pecking on the elephants. I told the elephants to forget it, but they can't…" said Raven.

"Raven, would you turn around for a second?" asked Nightwing.

"Yes sire." She does as she was told. "The Mas y Menos are hard up, but like I always say…" continued Raven.

"Now one thing you got to remember son is to think big." Whispered Nightwing.

"It's pointless to…" continued Raven.

"Think big, got it." Whispered Beast Boy.

It was at this time that Raven figured out something was amiss. "What's going on?" demanded Raven.

"Shape shifting lesson." Said Nightwing.

"Shape shifting lesson, nice…SHAPESHIFTING? Oh no, sire, you can't be serious…" pleaded Raven while facing him.

Nightwing motions for Raven to turn back around.

"This is so humiliating." Said Raven.

"Try not to make a sound." Whispered Nightwing.

"What're you telling him Nightwing?" asked Raven.

It then became apparent that both father and son had disappeared.

"Nightwing? Beast Boy?" asked Raven a little afraid.

Beast Boy then tackled Raven to the ground as a very young raptor.

"Ha ha ha ha ha. That's very good for someone your age. Ha ha ha…" chuckled Nightwing.

Hot Spot emerges from the ground underneath Raven.

"Mam! News from the under ground!" said Hot Spot.

"Now this time Beast Boy think even bigger…" started Nightwing.

"Nightwing! HIVE! In the Titan Lands!" interrupted Raven.

Nightwing turned serious and got up.

"Raven, take Beast Boy home." Said Nightwing.

"Oh, Dad, can't I come?" asked Beast Boy.

"No son." Said Nightwing.

Nightwing then runs off.

"I never get to go anywhere." Said Beast Boy.

"Cheer up squirt…" said Raven.

Beast Boy scowled at this. He hated it when she called him squirt.

"One day you will be king; then you can chase those brainless Neanderthals from dawn till dusk." Said Raven.
