"So, Raven, have you decided what you're gonna do to BB as payback for what happened in you room?" Cyborg asked her when they were alone on the rocks outside the tower.
"Not entirely, but I left him a little surprise in his room."
"What is it?" he asked eagerly.
"Remember when you two fell into Nevermore? Well remember Rage? I released her and told her to make him miserable. I made her look like me and she will make him miserable."
"Isn't it dangerous to let her out?"
"With Trigon dead, there is no danger in letting my emotions out. I can mess BB up as much as I want with their help. Boy is he in for a shock! Knowledge is up next…to make him look as stupid as she can possibly hope to. Then I think Happy can have ago at making him realize that his jokes really aren't funny."
"That's a bit harsh, Rae. You're gonna mess him up even more than he already is. You just let Rage do her thing and it might be enough payment."
"I suppose. I could just have Starfire sing him a Tameranean folk song. That would be sufficient torture. But that's not personal enough."
Raven sat quietly and thought about what she could do to punish BB. Then a light bulb winked on.
"I have the perfect payback. All I ask is that you have the others in the lounge later this evening and that you have a few cameras handy. Trust me it'll be worth it. Also, no matter what you hear don't come to investigate it. It will explain itself in due course."
"Can't you even let me in on your plans?"
"Sorry. This one is private. But I promise you will enjoy it…immensely."
She got up and drifted back into the tower. First she must find Starfire.
When she had done so and collected all the things she would need she made her way to her own room where she set everything up before moving next door to Beast Boy's room where Rage was doing her best to fluster him, actually it wasn't just Rage. Knowledge, Happy, Rude, Love and Timid were all there and poor Beast Boy was clearly getting increasingly flustered as they annoyed him. What made him even more confused was that the various moods of Raven, who usually wore the same outfit as Raven herself wore only in different colours, now wore the same colour as Raven's. Therefore he was becoming incredibly confused.
He thought he recognised the moods of Raven as he had met them before, but since they all looked exactly like Raven he was baffled as to why there were so many Ravens and why they were all acting in such a strange way.
Then he saw yet another Raven standing in his doorway. Her pose meant that she was still angry with him.
She stood there, arms folded across her chest, a scowl on her face, but a glint in her eyes. A glint that told him he was in for it now. Now was the time for his punishment.
He knew she was going to punish him, but hadn't expected he to come up with anything so soon.
"What are you going to do with me?" he asked tentatively.
"First I need to send my emotions back to Nevermore. Okay, guys, you did well, now it's my turn."
She held out the mirror and the emotions grinned and zipped back into it.
Raven held out her hand to Beast Boy who was looking apprehensive down to the point of terror.
Tentatively he took it and she led him out to her room.
"This is the one time I am allowing you into my room, so you mustn't protest but do everything I say. Got it?"
"Uh-huh."
"Good. In we go then."
Once inside she sat him in a chair near a table filled with horrid devices of torture that looked suspiciously like cosmetics.
Then she snapped on a pair of plastic surgery gloves and locked the door.
Uh-oh!
About ten minutes later the rest of the team were assembled in the lounge when they heard Beast Boy yell out in pain.
"What was that? was that Beast Boy?" Robin asked looking at Cyborg.
"Uh-huh. That would be Raven's revenge at work."
"Any idea what she's planning? We don't want him hurt."
"She only told me not to worry, that she had everything under control and that we were to on no account go up to disturb her."
Beast Boy yelled again.
"And that we should ignore any noises we hear from her room this afternoon and that we were to wait here until she says we can go."
"What did she mean by that?"
"I have no idea. But I have a feeling BB has something to do with it."
