Taking naps in the little side car of Robin's R-Cycle had become something of a habit for the petite sorceress. Her tiny body fit perfect in the plush little car, even though Robin usually detached it during missions. But she was grateful for the little sidecar, even if it was only useful for her in the Titan's garage.
Today was no exception. She'd taken some of her best naps in this mobile compartment, remembered some of her most curious dreams, and all within the silent coziness of the Tower. Dreaming vividly, Raven's dream was painted with the image of her racing down a highway. Her blowing wind and revved up purr of the smooth motorcycle were incredibly realistic, and she couldn't remember a time she'd dreamt so completely.
Unfortunately for Raven, this wasn't a dream.
Violet eyes fluttering open, she pressed a button to retract the protective tinted class that formed over the side car like a bubble. That was a mistake, the empath soon realized, when her brain finally registered that her speedy trip down the highway was no dream. Alright, so Robin had decided to take the R-Cycle for a spin, and forgot to detach the side department. But it was strange he hadn't checked to make sure she wasn't in it; in fact, careless drives down the highway seemed like a waste of time and gas, which was very uncharacteristic for-
"Hiya Rae!"
Beast Boy.
The dark mistress of magic cringed at his voice. It wasn't that she had a certain distaste for the changeling, but his driving skills were atrocious. What was he doing driving Robin's vehicle anyway?
"Beast Boy, what the hell are you doing driving the R-Cycle? Robin's going to kill you," Raven snapped against the blowing wind. They had to be going at least 80mph, and were on the freeway. This was just her luck. Pressing a button hidden within the shiny red metal, she expected Robin's extra helmet to present itself. But with no such luck. That was weird.. Raven peered at the keyhole under the handlebars.
"A paperclip?" She shouted, now having to raise her voice even louder against the quickening wind. Beast Boy had tricked the R-Cycle's engine into thinking it was Robin's key, since the alpha Titan obviously hadn't given Beast Boy the keys, and Beast Boy didn't have Robin's fingerprint that auto started the vehicle.
"Yeah well, Robin's outta town and I couldn't find his keys-"
Thump-thump-thump-thump.
Beast Boy knocked down a row of orange construction cones.
"Ever think that's maybe because he didn't want you to drive it?" Raven found herself snapping at the changeling's stupidity once more.
He laughed, pulling onto an exit and slowing his pace. Cruising slower than the speed limit, he found a little ice cream stand and pulled up. He took off his moped helmet and placed it carefully on her head. "Sorry Rae, I didn't know you were in the car…" Gently, he tightened the straps and clicked it into place on her petite head, noticing her lavender locks poking out adorably. Raven blinked at his kindness, but continued to simmer silently, ready to flip this ice cream stand and give Beast Boy the smacking of his life. "Can I buy you a cone and make up for it?"
"Just get me home in one piece, Gar."
Beast Boy paid for two mint chocolate ice cream cones, handing her one. Truthfully he'd known Raven was in the car, and just wanted to take her out for a treat. Unfortunately, this was the only way he could do it. Anyway, he knew mint-chocolate was both of their favorite flavor's, and hoped the sweet mint would put her in a better mood.
He winked when he saw her take a dainty lick.
"You got it, Rae."
"And for the love of Azar, Garfield, next time just ask me out."
Next time? The changeling grinned. Well, okay.
