Alright! I'm pumped for this chapter! Man, I hope you guys really like it! Also, I think I said this before during BBxRae week, but I really like those reviews! They are my addiction to this site! Along with favorites and follows as well! Can you help a fellow dude with his addiction?!


Mailbox Time!

Golem XIV: Yep, that bitch Zatanna was included for this story. I'm going to include what she did later in the story for one of Raven and Beast Boy's conversations. And yes, there will be a showdown between the three. Although it won't necessarily be 'the showdown.' Thanks for the nice compliment! I hope you also enjoy this chapter!

RPGPersona: Yep. Had to make Starfire's attack more believable. It's a part of Raven's personality at this time. Thinking between Robin and Beast Boy, Beast Boy would have the harder past to share. Not only to retreat, you'll see in this chapter. Indeed, it might, you say, help them out later. And dude! Seriously! I'm trying to keep this PG-13 as it is! I don't want to try and include something that will raise this to M now! (although who knows, maybe it might happen. Maybe)

Foamsatmouth: Yeah, it's a little hard to merge the two universes together. But I do have something going here. I'm just going to have to be creative with some of the other details, like Spitfire and Flinx.

Bluedog197: *flips* Hey flapjack. Hey, of course she would be angry, she's probably had no beauty sleep like the rest of them. Also technically, if you look at the two universes, it is possible for Robin to be part of the Young Justice, and then go over to the Teen Titans at about 15 or so. Also, as to your guess, you could be close. It is, however, not revealed in this chapter. Hmmm, new cover photo, I'm not entirely sure on that. We'll wait and see for that. Hope you brought plenty of snacks for this chapter though! Because it is a doozy!

gracieTpie: Thanks for all the really nice compliments there Grass X! I wanted to write a long story that actually did have some gradual character development, so this is the experiment I'm using. So glad you're liking it though! And hope you enjoy this chapter as well!

Azarath Cat: I'm glad you liked the introduction of the YJ into this. And that you also enjoy my writing style. And I rated this thing T for a reason! And included in the summary what to beware of! (LOL, I know, people don't listen to the ratings or warnings). Glad to have a fellow BBRae shipper reading this as I type along it! Hope you enjoy this whopper of a chapter!

HornedGoddess: Here's that more. And thank Azar! I was worried there for a few days!


Since last chapter: 5 more favorites, 7 more followers. (Really nice rate of growth we're getting here)

Chapter Six: He Can Use His Brain


Cold.

That was the feeling Beast Boy always got whenever he came in contact with Raven's dark powers. Whether it was when she moved herself with them, or when she'd grip him in her powers before sending him on a one way trip into the bay. It was always the same.

Cold. Unrelenting. Powerful. Unforgiving. Like a glacier. Slowly carving its way through a mountain range.

Or like her personality towards others. (badum tss)

To most people, it would be unpleasant traveling in Raven's power. Or even downright scary or creepy. But to Beast Boy, it was something else entirely.

It was a sign of danger, yes. He had been on the receiving end of it too many times to not see it that way at times. Yet, it was also a sign of safety. Still dangerous, because it could hurt him. Yet safe, because he trusted the person who wielded this cold and dark power to do what was right. Unless he pissed her off. Then it was up to the fates as to what would happen then.

Fortunately for now, he hadn't pissed her off. So in his mind, it was a rather soul chilling sign of safety as Raven enveloped the two of them in a dark portal, that then turned into a shadow Raven when it covered the two of them. The shadow Raven flew back through the now trashed Common Room thanks to the two teams that were locked in battle. Once it cleared the debris area where the doors laid, it flew down the dark twisting hallways of the Tower. Banking sharply around corners, keeping an eye out on its surroundings for any hidden dangers or foes. Then it finally came to a stop in front of Raven's room.

There, the black shadow, red eyed Raven stopped itself in the air, floating in front of the door for a second. Then it melted back down into the shadows on the ground. Beast Boy and Raven's forms were revealed in the darkness of the hallway. Beast Boy had his arms held to himself, his teeth were chattering against each other.

Like I said, safe, but cold. Very soul chilling down to the marrow of your bones cold.

"G-G-Geeze Rae, c-c-couldn't you have j-just te-te-teleported us o-o-or s-something so w-we wouldn't h-ha-have been in th-that f-frozen waste-l-l-land for so l-l-long." Beast Boy chattered out between his teeth.

Raven glared at him. Not at all happy with the situation their leader had dumped on them. She had to escape the Tower, with Beast Boy of all people! Who knew how long the two of them would have to stick together after this!

"Well I'm sorry Beast Boy." She didn't sound sorry in the slightest. "But in case you didn't hear what that idiot back there said to us, Zatanna is chanting spells outside of the Tower. Meaning I can't teleport us anywhere outside, or inside the Tower because of the wards she is placing through her chants. I was barely able to hold that Raven form together with all those wards she placed inside the Tower as it is! Since it is kind of a form of magic!" Raven said in a cold unforgiving monotonous voice to Beast Boy.

Beast Boy's natural body heating mechanisms had started to kick in by this point, and his teeth had stopped chattering. He was still cold, but he had recovered enough to roll his eyes in complaint at her. All the powers of every animal in the known animal kingdom, and he still had to complain about a soul chilling experience he could easily recover from.

"So. Couldn't you have tried something else to get us out of there? Like one of those dark disc thingies you like to ride on in battle. At least only my butt would have felt like it was developing frostbite instead of my entire body." He said in an exaggerated fashion.

Raven glared at him in anger. She did not need to have the image of his… rear from earlier inside her mind again. "Do I look like some kind of taxi service to you?" She asked through gritted teeth.

Beast Boy looked like he was about to say something stupid to her. She was already guessing what his reply was. Like didn't you just bring me here anyways in that shadow thing of yours, or was that just me. So Raven cut him off.

"You know what, just don't answer that. I can already tell what you were going to say." She said monotonously. Turning back towards her door to slide it open.

Beast Boy shrugged in annoyance. Did she have to make everything hard for him? "What I was going to say, before you so rudely interrupted, was that I'm guessing that you won't be able to use that form to get us out of the Tower since this Zatanna dude, dudette, whatever would have likely placed strong wards along the outside before starting on the inside. Would I be correct Rae?" Beast Boy asked.

Raven blinked, that had certainly been unexpected. She could have sworn he would be starting another fight with her. She nodded her head, hiding that she was still secretly shocked at his logic. "I'm afraid so."

"Alright then, I guess we'll have to find some other way to get out of the Tower then. And cover our tracks from the Justice League while we're at it. Don't want them barking at our heals and like all that." Beast Boy said in a calm voice to her. She didn't reply, as she was still secretly shocked on the inside.

They stood there like that for an awkward moment. With Beast Boy just staring at her, and Raven staring at the ground. Wondering if she should apologize for assuming he was going to say something idiotic to her like he usually did. Since, what he had said, had actually been pretty smart. For Beast Boy that is.

Before she could get the chance though, a rather loud explosion was heard in the distance. Along with the sound of a wall making a loud thud again. This snapped Beast Boy from the reverie he had been in. Along with Raven's as well.

"Alright, you heard what Rob said. You grab whatever you need from your room. I'll be right back with what he told me to get. If you finish up before I get back, meet me at my room. We'll figure things out from there." Beast Boy said to Raven, before he morphed into a cheetah and sprinted down the corridor. Not waiting to see her acknowledge the reply.

She rolled her eyes. Why did this seem so familiar to her? All it needed now was the slamming of a sliding door, and a certain somebody with a towel wrapped around that…

'Alright, seriously! I thought I told you all to forget that ever happened! What is wrong with you all!' Raven shouted to her mindscape in anger.

She got no reply again. Unless girly giggling counted. A vein bulged in Raven's forehead underneath her hood. If she and Beast Boy got out of this mess alive, she would make a trip to Nevermore to find out which emoticlone she had to strangle to death.

For now, she simply chanted her mantra under her breathe to calm down. "I hope he doesn't take to ordering me around to much. Otherwise, we're going to have a big problem." Raven said in the real world, before she floated into her room. Already wanting to forget what she just went through in the hallway.

She knew what she needed to grab from her room alright. There was thousands of years worth of magic knowledge in her room. Some of which was from books and potions she owned. Others were from the spellbooks an evil dragon had left behind when he taught her. Even though he was trapped inside his book again in her chest, the other books he had summoned had never disappeared. So she had kept them on her shelves, mainly since the magic in them was so dark that in the wrong hands, they could be used for extraordinary evil.

Raven knew that whatever else happened, she couldn't let any of these books or potions fall into the League's hands. Especially the dark spellbooks. Who knew what they would do with all of them. Or what a certain someone would do if she got her hands on this.

Raven summoned a black pouch from a drawer on her vanity with her dark powers. A drawer beneath that of her most valuable possession. The item she'd be storing away last.

Once it was in her hands, Raven pulled apart the drawstrings on it. Allowing it to open wide. It was actually surprising how wide it was able to open. Considering the small size of the pouch. It was almost as if it were enchanted or something. (Which, it probably was)

Then, Raven moved over to her bed. Where she set the open pouch onto her blue comforter. She took a sad moment to look at her bed. It wouldn't be able to come with her, no amount of magic would change that. Her pouch could only hold things that could fit through the opening.

Raven then took a look around the room. Seeing all the different things she would have to store away. She did a quick list in her mind of how she was going to do it. Books at the bottom, more fragile items on the top.

Finally, Raven took a deep breathe to calm herself. And then directed a hand to the bookcase to her right. It would be the first of many to empty in a short time. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." She chanted in a whisper. Over and over again.

Her eyes glowed white with power, as the books danced off of the shelf her hand was pointing at. Each one moving across the air, to hover over the area of the small black pouch.

And ended by dropping into it's seemingly endless depths.


Beast Boy was running through the halls of the Tower. Heading towards where Raven's old saferoom was. With his advanced hearing, he was able to hear Raven moving about in her room. Along with the sounds of stuff moving around as she started to pack. He also heard the battle that was taking place in the Common Room they had left.

He could hear the thumps that came from Starfire's starbolts. The sound of Cyborg's sonic cannon or missiles hitting a target. The sound of Robin's Bo-Staff hitting against skin. He also heard an ocean breeze filling the room. It was probably from the wall that had been knocked down.

He could also hear the whiz of arrows flying through the air. The sound of feet hitting against the ground rapidly. What sounded like another sonic cannon firing inside the room, although the frequency kept on changing on it so he couldn't be sure. There was also the sound of something large being thrown around. And then there was the sound of pure rage filled attacks. Beast Boy shuddered as the image of Superboy filled his mind again.

Both teams seemed to be giving it their all. Neither one wanted to give an inch. But it didn't seem like the Young Justice had realized he and Rae had disappeared as of yet. If a Cheetah could smile, this one would have done so.

'Good, I don't want to deal with that Superjerk for a long time yet. My nose is still sore from that haymaker he gave me.'

'Maybe next time you won't underestimate your opponent like that again master. Even though it wasn't who you thought it was, that didn't make him any less dangerous to us, and to our mate.' The Beast spoke in his mind.

'I'm never going to get you to call Raven by her proper name, aren't I?' Beast Boy thought in an annoyed tone.

The Beast shrugged inside his mind. 'What, you don't call her by her proper name most of the time either master. I don't really see much of a difference between what we call her.'

'Look, what I call her is a shortened version of her name. Rae, or Rae Rae, I even called her Rae Bear once when we stopped Control Freak in a Build a Friend in the middle of the mall.'

'Speaking of which, what on Earth were you thinking that day!? That had to be one of the closest times I'd ever seen her come close to wanting to kill us master! You know, besides that time you drew earlier. Although I honestly didn't mind the view on that last one...'

Unwanted thoughts came to his mind at that. He shook his head as he continued sprinting. 'Please do me a favor and don't mention that again. I already had to get rid of that scene from my mind once tonight.'

'I saw.' The Beast said smugly. Beast Boy grimaced.

'Anyways, she was covered in the remains of that stuffed bear at the end. The skin and all had been covering her so perfectly. I just couldn't resist it. The others thought it was funny at least, after they managed to restrain her.'

'I don't believe our mate found it all that funny master. Much like those horrible jokes of yours.'

'...Still, disregarding that, at least I include something from her name when I say a nickname around her. Be it Rae, Rae Bear, Rae Rae, or whatever else I come up with. What do you think she would do if I walked up to her and called her mate? Fall into my arms and say I love you?!' Beast Boy said in a sarcastic voice.

'Yes. That's exactly what she would do master.' The Beast said in a serious tone inside his mind.

Beast Boy almost ran into a corner from surprise in the real world.

'Okay, just asking, so no need to take this the wrong way, BUT ARE YOU INSANE!?'

'Says the person who called her Rae Bear to her face.'

'Hey, at least we survived her wrath then! Even if the others had to help! But if I were to walk up to her and call her that, I doubt the first thing on her list would be to profess her dying love to me! I think that would come after she grinded my bones to dust, burned my body slowly and agonizingly with hellfire, spread the ashes over her father's realm, froze it over, hit it with a nuclear bomb, and destroyed whatever remained with her own two hands! And that is only an if that she would then say that! And if she did, it would most likely be out of pity after having completely destroyed my soul dude!'

'... … … You don't paint a very pretty picture there master.'

'Exactly! That's why I would never call her something even remotely close to that! She's capable of doing all that and more! Would you want her to do that to us by having me call her our mate!?'

The Beast's reply came as a whisper. 'Do you really think that would be what would happen to us if you told her the truth?'

Before Beast Boy could reply, he found himself skidding to a stop in front of the saferoom doors. He had been so focused on the mental conversation that he barely saw the doors in time to stop. He snarled to himself.

'Damn it, I went past it!'

'Language master.' The Beast said in an amused voice.

'You know what, just shut it for me please. I'm still operating on no sleep and adrenaline alone at this point no thanks to you!'

'Not my fault you decided to wait until the cold water calmed you down in that thing you call a shower. You could have done it in a more direct-'

'Will you not bring that up again!'

Beast Boy had ran back down the hallway during that part. And slid open a doorway that had been hidden in the wall of the hallway.

'Just saying master. It wasn't my fault you got no sleep. You could have even spent less time on that drawing. Instead of staring at it for most of the night.'

Beast Boy sighed as he grabbed two packs from off the shelf the sliding doorway had revealed. They were basically Titan emergency kits. In the case the Tower was somehow compromised, the Titans had prepared for the possibility of a long trip away from the Tower. Cyborg had plans to build a secret bunker, but those as of yet hadn't come to fruition. For now, he had made these packs for each of them. The two packs Beast Boy grabbed had his name, and Raven's on them. He didn't know what they contained exactly, he just knew Cyborg had prepared them. So he had to be ready for anything in them.

He put them on his back, secured the straps, and then morphed into a cheetah again. He made sure the packs would stay in there position, before he started running down the hallway again.

'Beast, can you just, you know, leave it alone for the moment. I truly don't like her in that way and I don't want those thoughts distracting me.'

'Why is it so hard to admit that you lust for our mate master?'

'She's not… argh! What's the point!? You won't even listen to me!'

'Because you won't break through the denial that is clouding your mind!'

'How many times do I have to tell you!? I like Raven! But not in that way!'

'Then why did it take so long for you to get our mate in all her glory out of your mind? Why put so much effort into one drawing and stare at it for hours on end when you say you don't like to think about her in that way? When doing such an action would guarantee nothing but what you're trying to avoid?' The Beast asked in a calm voice.

'... Hormones?' Beast Boy tried.

'So you do feel that way about her master.'

'... I hate you.'

'Only because I'm right master.'

'I'm still not going to admit it.'

'I know.'

'So will you be quiet now?'

'One last thing.'

'And just what would that be?'

'You should be more serious around her at times. It really does catch her off guard when you don't try to hide your true self from her.'

'... … Wait! What do you mean by that! Be your true self!' Beast Boy yelled into his mind.

Beast Boy didn't get a reply. And he didn't know whether he should be relieved, or worried about what his Beast said. 'Don't hide my true self from her… what could he possibly mean by that? I'm always myself around her. The happy, go lucky, don't care about anything except what is in front of me changeling who tries to get her to smile. The one who is over all the crap life through at him. The one who doesn't care about what is in his past. Even… ...even…'

The green cheetah just shook its head in confusion as it continued on its way back to Raven's room. He was not going to pull his messed up past back into his mind again. Not when he had managed to suppress most of it for all these years. He was also not going to think too deep into it now. He knew what he was like better than the Beast did.

His super hearing allowed him to hear that Raven was still in there packing. And that the fight was still going on in the Common Room.

'Odd, it's been what, eight minutes. And she's still packing. How much could she possibly have to pack?'

When Beast Boy got closer, he was just about to enter her hallway when he remembered something. He skidded to a stop and turned back into his normal self. He walked up to his door in the hallway. Even though he had their packs, there was still some things he needed to grab from his room. Things he couldn't leave behind. Things that did hold some value to him.

Plus, since his room was technically considered a toxic waste sight, he figured he might as well take some time to make sure that nobody would ever want to go in that room again in the next fifty or so years. And as a bonus, it'd give more time for Raven to finish. So he wouldn't get bored standing outside her door or something like that.

Grinning evilly to himself, Beast Boy once again slid open the door to his room. Before he got to work on his evil revenge plan for the Young Justice team. Should they manage to beat the Titans and search his and Rae's room for clues of their whereabouts.

He just needed to grab a few things, change into a couple different animals, and he'd be all set.


About fifteen minutes after she had started, Raven stopped in her chanting to take a look around the room.

All the shelves were now completely bare of their former occupants. Her dresser and closet were completely empty of any clothes. Even the comforter and sheets that had been on her bed had been all folded up and placed neatly inside the bottomless pouch.

Raven was glad her mother had given this to her before she left Azarath the first time. It's enchantments allowed her to pack up almost anything she might need and store it in a pocket dimension where it was easily accessible. That was how she had most of those books and potions in the first place.

Needless to say, she had been able to fit almost everything of value inside of it. Even her large Book of Azar had managed to fit, if barely. If she needed anything from the pouch later, all she'd have to do is name what the item was, and it would come within reach of her hand. All that was left was for her to put her meditation mirror in it and she would be all set to leave.

'Hopefully Beast Boy is ready. We don't exactly have much time as it is. We'll need to get moving before Zatanna's wards make me completely incapable of using magic in the Tower altogether.'

She picked up the pouch and set one of the drawstrings around her shoulder to hold it in place. Yet she left it open so she could put her mirror in it. Then she walked over to her vanity and opened the drawer to see her meditation mirror laid where it was supposed to be. Just as she reached in and grabbed the handle though, her door slid open. Catching her slightly off guard.

She turned around. Her mirror in one hand, her black pulsing energy in the other. Ready to face the threat that would be in her doorway.

She dropped that hand though and rolled her eyes when she saw Beast Boy smiling widely in the doorway. Two thin packs held by straps were on his back. Although his seemed a little more bulky for some reason.

"Beast Boy, are you trying to get yourself killed today or something?" Raven asked monotonously.

Beast Boy shrugged. "This hasn't been my luckiest day, or night I'll admit."

Raven rolled her eyes at that. "I'm assuming that you grabbed what Robin asked you to grab then."

Beast Boy smiled as he pulled the two packs off his back to set them on the ground. Raven looked at the two of them, her face deadpan. "Are you sure that's what Robin would have wanted you to grab before we left the Tower for what is likely to be a long time?"

Beast Boy nodded his head. "Of course! I helped Cy with designing these things for each one of us. Although what he filled them with, I'm not entirely sure myself on that." He informed her.

"There better be no pranks in mine." Raven said as she picked up both packs from off the floor. And then managed to squeeze them into her pouch. Beast Boy looked at it, a little awestruck.

"Dude! Where did you get that!?" Beast Boy shouted excitedly. Already reaching for it, forgetting who it was attached to.

A black burst of energy later, and Beast Boy found himself on the floor. A glaring Raven looking down on him. "It was one of the few and only gifts I ever received from my mother, and if you know what's best for your health I'd suggest you don't try to grab for it again." She said in a calm monotone. Although her glare could have killed him on the spot.

Before Beast Boy could apologize, his ears picked up on a distant sound, and his eyes widened. He double checked quickly, and his ears picked up a sound outside the Common Room. Looks like someone had finally figured out he and Rae weren't in there anymore.

"We need to go, now!" Beast Boy said, getting up far quicker than Raven had ever seen him move. Suddenly, he had grabbed her free hand, the one that wasn't still holding the mirror, and started pulling her out into the hallway.

Raven, when she had recovered her senses, tried to get Beast Boy to let go. But then, when she crossed the threshold of her room, a searing pain went through her mind. Almost causing her to scream out in pain. But the death grip she had on Beast Boy's hand at the moment the pain started let him know instantly that something was wrong.

"Rae, what's happening? Are you okay?" He asked as he turned around. To see her holding her head with the hand that still had the mirror in it. He pulled her back across the threshold into her room immediately. Once across it, Raven immediately felt the pain go away. Her face relaxed, causing Beast Boy and the Beast no small amount of relief inside their mind.

"Rae, what happened?" He asked her.

"It's Zatanna." She managed to choke out. "I'm so stupid. She must have known I'd be inside of my room packing all this away if I wasn't in the fight. She's made it where I'm incapable of leaving without suffering severely for it." Raven said in a shaking monotone.

"How severely are we talking here?" Beast Boy asked. Raven took a shaky breath, before she continued.

"If I had stayed out there for a few more seconds, I would have probably lost my mind… if I was lucky." Raven said in a now tired monotone.

Beast Boy looked at her seriously. This wasn't part of the plan. "Crap, how big an area do you think the spell covers?"

"Knowing her, she would have covered this whole section of the Tower with it. The only reason why I'm not affected in here is because of the many wards I have on the walls of this room. She wouldn't be able to get at me while in here. But I can't get out either."

Beast Boy started to scratch his head in thought. "So, you're basically trapped. The fight in the Common Room is coming to an end. And we only have moments before that super fast dude finds us…" Beast Boy trailed off. Raven looked at him oddly.

'How can he tell the fight in the Common Room is ending? And how can he even tell who is coming after us now?' Raven thought to herself.

'Maybe he is learning to embrace his animal senses?' Knowledge said to her inside her mind.

Beast Boy was deep in thought. There was a way out of this mess, he knew that, he just had to see it?

"You could leave, you know. Nothing is holding you back. You have a better chance of escaping with your powers than I do." Raven said in monotone. Hiding how scared she was on the inside. She was going to be captured, she was going to be sent back to that horrible hell, and she couldn't do a thing about it.

'No, I can't leave Rae behind! Not after what I heard Batman say! There has to be a way out of this! There has too!' Beast Boy thought to himself frantically.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off above his head. He looked down at himself, then his belt, then at the mirror in Raven's hand. He had a smile form on his face.

'You finally used your brain master?'

'Shut up, you're just jealous I found a way to save Rae and you didn't.'

'Me, jealous? I am a part of you.'

"Hey Rae, would that spell affect you while you were in a different place?" Beast Boy asked in an excited voice.

Raven could only raised her eyebrow in confusion.


A moment later, a black blur came to a stop outside Raven's door. Revealing Wally West in his stealth suit. He leaned his ear in towards the doorway to see if he could hear anything. When he didn't, he accessed the mental link Miss Martian had set up for the team.

'Guys, I'm right outside Raven's doorway. But I don't hear anything going on inside. Are you sure she went this way after the fight started?'

A woman's voice replied. 'She's there. I placed too many anti-demon spells in the area outside her room for her to be able to move through it without losing her mind.'

'Wouldn't it not affect her as much since she is only a half-demoness though?' Wally asked.

'Normally, that's why I've taken the liberty to put many versions of this spell all over the Tower. If a regular demon were to even come close to it, it's brain would fry almost instantly.'

Wally shrugged. 'Alright, I'm going in.'

'Be careful, her room is warded from my magic. So she'll be at full strength when you cross her threshold. You will have to fight her. And we still don't know where the green one is.' The woman cautiously advised.

'Yeah yeah, whatever. I'd love to see her try to hit someone as fast as me.' Wally mentally replied, ignoring the last part.

Wally walked up to the door and attempted to slide it open. When that didn't work, he saw the keypad and tried to hack into it. Only, it was much too advanced for him, thanks to Cyborg's technology. So then he tried having his fist vibrate super quickly and punched the solid steel door.

Not exactly the best move, he figured out as he clutched his now hurt hand. It would have worked if the door's thickness was only an inch or two. But with the door being a good four inches thick, he had barely even left a dent in it.

'I can't get the damn door to open! Does anyone have any codes for the f-'

The door slid open, catching him off guard as a green cheetah suddenly bounded over his stunned form. The green cheetah quickly landed on the ground behind him and sprinted down the length of the hallway and around the corner out of sight. Wally quickly recovered and ran into Raven's room, deciding he'd worry about catching the changeling later. After all, it was supposed to be impossible for Raven to leave.

Which was why his jaw hit the ground when he came into a bare room. Besides the furniture and several creepy ornaments. Other than that, there was no one in there.

Including Raven.

'Wally, are you alright!' A familiar concerned voice asked inside his mind.

'We may have a problem here.' He replied as he ran out of the room. The changeling was now his number one priority.


Meanwhile, Beast Boy was laughing to himself inside his mind. The look on Wally's face had totally been worth it. If only Raven had been there to see it, instead of where she was currently at. Who knows, maybe she might have actually smiled.

Although, that was only the first part to his plan for both of them to escape. Now he just had to run around and wait for…

ThumpThumpThumpThumpThumpThump! (Imagine this being like machine gun mode here)

Yep, the little red headed speedster finally caught on.

Beast Boy turned his head around to see a black blur appear at the end of the hallway chasing right for him. And boy did that dude look pissed. He turned his head back to the front. Continuing to sprint down the hallway in his form.

Then, just when the blur was almost on him, the cheetah veered to the right, down another hallway. Wally had to slow down at the sudden turn, putting more distance between Beast Boy and himself. Wally muttered to himself in anger as he sped up again after him.

Beast Boy repeated this maneuver several times. Allowing the black blur that was Wally to get closer and closer each time. While still avoiding being captured by him.

After this happened the tenth time, Wally had his eyes dead set on the green cheetah. They were running down a hallway with no other hallways connected to it. Just a couple doors that represented the bathrooms in the Tower. And a dead end. Beast Boy was trapped.

"I've got you now!" Wally shouted, as his hands reached out for the fur of the green cheetah.

When it suddenly disappeared, as his hands passed right through nothing. In his shock, he didn't realize he was still running forward.

POW!

Wally face planted right into the wall at the end of the hallway at 100 miles an hour. Got to tell you, also not the most pleasant feeling in the world. Made what he did to his hand earlier seem like a mere scratch. Wally was cussing up a storm as he held his now broken nose.

"Man dude, I thought you would have been smarter than that. Since you look like you are old enough to be in college and all. Did you know I wasn't even in the school system here." Beast Boy said from somewhere behind Wally. He turned around, to see a smirking Beast Boy standing in the doorway of one of the bathrooms.

"I might not show it at times. But I am smarter than I look. I do hope you remember that the next time you try to catch me, schoolboy." Beast Boy finished, he was laughing as he shut the door behind him.

Wally instantly sped up to the door, which took him all of two seconds to figure out how to open. Unlike Raven's door.

Flush!

Still, he ran in too late. The sound of laughter was gone. As he looked all over and saw no changeling. And instead, saw the toilet flushing in the corner. Wally dropped a word that would be to inappropriate to mention.

'Kaldur, are you listening!' Wally said urgently over the mental link.

'Has there been a problem Kid Flash?' A calm voice asked him.

'Raven somehow managed to escape her room! And the changeling flushed himself down a toilet! We need to find out where the plumbing for this place leads now!' Wally said frantically over the line.

'What! How could you let that witch escape?! There was supposed to be no possible way out of that room short of insanity!' An angry female voice said on the link.

'It doesn't matter now. Maybe the changeling will know how she did it. If we find him, we find our demoness.' The calm voiced Kaldur said.

'This is M'gann, we have the three heroes in here subdued. Any further orders?' Another female voice asked.

'Superboy, Miss Martian, you two stay behind to make sure the other three don't become a problem anytime soon. Also, call the Bio-Ship to the roof to transport the team to where I'll be. As to the rest of you, meet up on the roof of the Tower. I will find where the changeling will come out of their plumbing system. And we can capture him together.' Kaldur ordered.

Wally nodded his head. "You got it boss." He said out loud to himself, before he raced out of the bathroom.

It took him a couple minutes to find his way through all the twists and turns of the hallways, but he eventually made it to a stairway. And sped up to the roof where all his other teammates were at. His girlfriend immediately approached him, seeing the blood running down his face.

"Wally, did he do this to you?" She asked him in a shocked voice. He shook his head.

"Nah babe, he kind of tricked me into running into a wall. That's how he was able to escape me in the first place." Wally replied. Smiling at the sight of his girlfriend of now three years.

"What do you mean, he tricked you? According to what we read up on him from Batman, he was supposed to be dumber than a doornail." She replied angrily.

"You think I wasn't surprised too? I mean, he did flush himself down a freaking toilet to escape a speedster. Totally unfair way of avoiding a fight." Wally said in an indignant voice.

"How was he able to outrun a speedster? I thought your max speed exceeded that of any animal on the planet?" Blue Beetle asked curiously. Before he got that same blank look in his eyes again, as if someone was talking to him.

"Yeah, but in enclosed spaces like that. When he'd make sharp turns down random hallways. It forced me to slow it down a couple notches. So he was always a few feet in front of me." Wally answered.

"So, the witch truly wasn't in her room?" A familiar voice asked in the shadows of the roof. Wally could only nod his head.

"I looked all over with my own two eyes. There was no sign of anyone having even lived there. Besides furniture and… other things." He said in a shaken voice. Remembering a couple of the artifacts he had seen while in there.

A big red ship suddenly appeared out of the air above them. Just as a voice spoke up on the mental link again. 'Alright, I have found where the changeling will exit the plumbing system. Miss Martian, is the ship ready for transport?'

'She should have just arrived.' M'gann replied.

'Good, I am uploading the coordinates to the ship now. See you here soon my friends.' Kaldur calmly told the group. Just as the ship landed and the back port retracted.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's get this mission over with. I can hear my bed calling my name already." Wally said to them all as they started to board the ship.

"What I hear is a few bandages and a lecture about running into walls before that." Artemis said to Wally, making him pout.

The first on the ship was a girl with a gold lasso on her belt. Then a normal looking woman who was dressed in a woman's suit went next. Then there was the blonde archer. Followed by the armored Blue Beetle.

Wally was the last to get on, and was in the middle of doing so when something very small dropped off the back of his head. He didn't feel it, or hear it, as he joined the team on Miss Martian's Bio-Ship. A couple seconds later, the back on it closed up. And then the ship flew away over the bay to the coordinates Kaldur had given it. As it flew away, the ship camouflaged itself, making it disappear into thin air.

For a moment, all was quiet.

Then, on the roof of the Tower, a small green fly opened up its eyes to look around at it's surroundings. It checked to make sure that there was no one to see it.

Then it took off into the air, putting a little distance between itself and the Tower. After a few minutes, when it felt it had gotten out of range of any cameras that could see it, the fly turned into a falcon. Then it climbed up into the clouds above it and disappeared from the world.

'Have fun checking those sewers all night! But I doubt you're going to find a changeling, or a witch while you're down there! Wait, maybe you might find a witch! When she finds out we got away!' Beast Boy thought giddily inside his mind.

He flew off into the night.


Author's Notes:

And there you have it! The sixth chapter of this awesome story! Not only has Beast Boy managed to escape the Young Justice, but he has also managed to send most of them on a wild goose chase in the sewers! Now that would make for an awesome prank!

Many unanswered questions here. What happened to Raven in the end here? What are in the packs that Cyborg stocked? How long will it take the Young Justice to find out they were duped? What will happen to our three heroes who were left behind with Superboy and Miss Martian?

Finally, how long will it be until I update to answer all your questions?

Till Next Time
