A/N Welcome back! I recently finished reading all 55 of the Teen Titans Go! Comic series based off the Cartoon Network show! They were really good and I'm kind of sad I finished 'em so quick. T.T One thing that bothered me while reading the comics though is that in issue 47 there's a scene where Robin is crying and he takes off his mask at this point (although the readers don't see his face, just the mask in his hand) and Starfire comes out to comfort him while he still has his mask off. Basically what I'm saying is that I've read all these fanfics about Starfire desperately wanting to see Robin's eyes (and I've continued that theme in my story) and I find out she's seen his eyes before! I don't know I was just bothered by it. But I strongly recommend reading the comics if you haven't already! It really adds to the TV series and they go into more depth about the Titan's true identities and origins. Plus there's more villains and heroes and it's all very good! On the subject of the comics I would not recommend the New 52 Teen Titans, too much has changed in my opinion and I'm just not a fan. If you're interested in more origin stories however I would recommend some of the older stuff (especially the Judas Contract if you want to know more about Terra). Anyways sorry for the spiel, I've been really into comics lately (I'm currently reading Batman so I apologize if I sneak Batman references in here and there). Now for the Story!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans or any of the DC material.

Beastboy awoke to the feeling of something wet on his face. Confused and startled he jumped up and immediately hit his head on the bunk bed. Rubbing the top of his head he looked down to see Silkie smiling up at him with a stupid grin. Sighing, he pushed the oversized creature off his bed and swung his legs down to the ground. Stretching, he stood and walked over to the dresser to grab some clothes for the day. On the way he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror, or rather someone else: Raven. He'd almost thought the whole thing had been a dream. He decided to just wear the uniform Raven had on yesterday, which he had also slept in.

He made his way out of his room and into the kitchen for Breakfast. Cyborg was sitting at the couch with Robin, or rather Starfire, which meant they had probably already eaten breakfast. He decided to just have some cereal this morning and went to the cupboard to pick out his favorite kind. He was soon joined by Raven who started to prepare her usual tea. After he had filled his bowl and poured the milk he sat down in his usual spot and began to eat. The double doors slid open again to reveal Robin, in Starfire's body, who headed for the kitchen. As he approached, however, Beastboy noticed a large gash on his face.

"Whoa, Rob, what'd you do to your face?" Robin reached up to feel his cheek as if he didn't know the scratch was there, then looked back at the green teen with his usual stoic face.

"I fell last night."

"That's it, you just 'fell' and got a huge cut on your face?"

"I was up late in the crime lab and so it was dark as I was leaving, I tripped, and hit my face on the edge of the desk." Something in Beastboy's gut told him that Robin wasn't being completely truthful at the moment, but he shrugged it off. He obviously had his reasons for not sharing the true story.

"You know, this could be an opportunity to use my healing power Beastboy." Beastboy turned to the green teen who was leaning against the counter sipping her tea. He'd almost forgotten about that power as Raven only used it in severe situations.

"You didn't teach me how?"

"It's not that hard. Just, hold your hand over the injury and focus on it and only it. You will feel a warm feeling around your hand as you say the usual incantation. Imagine the pain leaving that person and voila, it's healed."

"Ok, I guess I could give it a try, but don't blame me if I make it worse!" Robin, who hadn't said anything on the topic, now had a worried look on his face.

"Look, it's not that bad, I can just let it heal on its own."

"But dude, this a learning experience for me! Better to try it out now than to wait until someone breaks a leg."

"O… okay…" Robin turned his head to the side as the Changeling got up out of his chair and went to stand next to Robin. He held his hand over the wound and focused. It took a little while but he suddenly felt the warm sensation in his hand and saw a faint blue glue emit from it.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." The cut slowly started to dissipate until all that was left was a faint pink scar. Raven failed to mention, however, that he felt some of the pain from the scar go up through his hand and arm and into his core. It wasn't excruciating pain of course, but it was there nonetheless. After a few minutes the pain was gone completely. "Hey! I did it!" Beastboy's bowl of cereal exploded on the table, milk spilling everywhere and pieces of the ceramic bowl landing on the ground.

"Control yourself," was all Raven had to say on the matter as she placed her teacup in the sink and made her way to the couch.

"Ah… right." Beastboy internally scolded himself for allowing himself to get excited. He grabbed a rag from a drawer and started to wipe up the mess.

"Hey thanks Beastboy, you're really getting the hang of Raven's powers." Beastboy offered a small smile of thanks before going back to cleaning up his mess.

For the rest of the morning Beastboy went back to his room to meditate. He couldn't imagine how Raven did this every day several times a day. It was just so boring… although he could see the benefits. After successfully meditating for 10 minutes last night he felt a little bit calmer than he had before. It definitely got rid of that weird feeling he got in his gut if he went too long without meditation.

After the past day he was becoming very impressed with Raven and how she handled all of this as well. He was having a very hard time suppressing most of his emotions and had already blown up several light bulbs, plates, glasses, and 2 windows. Every time he got just a little bit excited BAM! Something else would explode. It was frustrating and kind of putting him in a bad mood to be honest. He was starting to understand why it seemed Raven was never happy. He couldn't even tell his jokes because they got him too excited, and what was he without his jokes? He wanted this to all be over soon or he might end up blowing himself up.

"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." Beastboy took slow, deep breathes, calming himself down and focusing only on himself. He had to get ahold of his emotions or he would never be able to control these powers. As long as he was in this body he would have to watch himself to make sure he didn't feel anything too strongly. As long as Raven was in his body, though, she was allowed to feel whatever she wanted to. She didn't have to suppress al her emotions anymore. This got Beastboy excited, he'd been trying to get her to smile or laugh forever and now she finally could without worrying about the consequences. Beastboy opened his eyes and stood up from the floor where he'd been sitting; he had to go share his revelation with Raven. Running out of his room he was soon back in the common room. He looked around the room but only saw Cyborg.

"Hey B, wanna play some Mega Monkeys 5?"

"Not now, I gotta find Raven." He hurried out of the room and back down the corridor towards Raven's room. He slid to stop in front of it and hurriedly knocked on the door. "Rae! Rae! I gotta tell ya something!" The door slid open to reveal the now-green teen with a stern look on her face.

"What could possibly so important that you're out of breath to tell me?" Beastboy pushed past Raven and walked into her darkened room; he wasn't sure why he was acting so bold right now. Raven shot him a dirty look but didn't say anything.

"I was meditating in my room ok, and I got to thinking about how you have to suppress your emotions all the time and how hard that must be right? And I was thinking-"

"That's a lot of thinking for you in one day." Beastboy allowed an annoyed glance at her before continuing.

"I was thinking that now that you're not in your own body and that you can feel now! You don't have to worry about your powers acting up, you can actually let go for once!" As if on cue, a few of Raven's books flew from her shelf and hit the ground with a thud.

"Beastboy, this switch is temporary. I can't let myself feel only to have to go back to the way I've always been within a matter of days. Besides, I've spent my whole life learning how to control my emotions and suppress them, I don't even think I'm capable of 'letting go' anymore." Beastboy suddenly felt and looked defeated. He had hoped that Raven would be excited to experience her emotions for a little bit. "Look it's… kind of you to think about me but it's not necessary. I know that I'm not bound by the concern of my emotions causing my powers to go haywire, but I can't allow myself to be any other way or it will only be harder when we switch back."

"Oh... I guess that makes sense." Beastboy was crestfallen but he hid it well, he was already feeling more like Raven. He made his way for the door and headed out of Raven's room, the door sliding shut behind him.


Raven was shocked when she found Beastboy standing at her door out of breath. She was even more shocked when he walked right into her room like it was nothing when no one came in her room. She was definitely shocked when he told her about his "revelation" and that he had actually thought about her, but what shocked her the most was that she was actually touched by what he had said. He wanted her to be able to feel her emotions for once. She didn't entirely know how to react at first but knew that the best thing to do was to act as if the switch hadn't happened. She still needed to watch her emotions because if she got too used to not suppressing them it would be very difficult to go back to her normal life. It was just the way it had to be, no matter how much she desperately wanted to be free for once.

After a quick lunch Raven decided she wanted to talk to Beastboy more about his past. She wasn't entirely sure how she could bring it up however, as it wasn't like her to seek one of the other Titan's to talk, especially about something so personal. After at least an hour in her room pondering how to do it, she eventually decided to just go for it. Normally she wouldn't be so impulsive but she hadn't really been acting like herself lately anyways. She strode down the corridor to Beastboy's room and hesitated before knocking quietly on his door. After a few seconds he answered it, a calm look on his face.

"Were you… meditating?"

"Well yeah, you told me I had to do it to keep my emotions in check?" Beastboy looked confused that she was questioning this.

"Right." Raven was quiet for a moment and the two just looked at each other.

"Did you need something Raven?"

"Um… I… I was wondering if you… would want to… maybe… talk?" Raven struggled to get the sentence out, but was relieved when she did.

"Sure." Beastboy took a step back, giving her room to come in.

"Ah… maybe we could go somewhere less… revolting? The roof perhaps?" Beastboy looked back at his disaster of a room then followed her up to the roof. She picked a spot with a bit of shade and a good view of the city across the bay to sit down, Beastboy followed her lead.

"So what's up Rae?" Raven took a large breath in, deciding how to do this.

"Yesterday, when you were teaching me to use your powers, you mentioned something about not always having your powers… and I was… curious about how you… got them." Raven couldn't bring herself to look at him, she wasn't sure why this was so hard for her to do.

"That's all you want to know?"

"Yes."

"Alright, I guess I can share that. Prepare for story time with Uncle Beastboy!" Beastboy stretched his legs out and supported himself with his hands. He paused a moment, probably deciding where to start. "My parents were scientists and they had this fascination with animals. We moved around a lot, living in jungles so they could study all kinds of animals. I got to be pretty good with animals too, I suppose that's how I know so many animals and that makes it easier for me to transform into them." Beastboy paused again, and Raven took the time to think about what he had said so far. It must have been a very exciting life to grow up in the wild and travel the world, anything but normal of course, but exciting nonetheless. "In one of homes in Africa I was out playing in the 'yard' if that's what you wanna call it. My parents were inside working on whatever it they worked on, and I saw the strangest thing: a green monkey. I got closer to the monkey, because well, how cool is a green monkey, but when I got close enough the thing bit me on the arm. I can't really explain the pain or the events that followed, it was all such a rush for me. My parents told me I'd been infected with the Sakutia virus, which most animals had built up an immunity too, but humans hadn't. They put together some kind of 'cure' and injected me with it, but it didn't have the effect they were expecting. My skin and turned green and suddenly I had the ability to change into animals. My parents were supportive of course and they were happy to have their little boy back, although not in the way they expected."

"Where are your parents now?" Raven wanted to bite her tongue after saying that because the look on Beastboy's face told her she shouldn't have asked. He recovered quickly though and took a deep breath before answering.

"There was a flood in the village we were staying in and my parents and I got into a boat to escape it. The waters were strong though… there was debris everywhere that was tearing the boat apart and it was filling with water…." He paused a moment to look away from Raven, who felt incredibly awful for bringing all of this up. Some of the objects on the roof were now surrounded in black energy. "My parents looked at me and told me I had to escape, I had to turn into a bird and fly away so that I might survive. I didn't know what else to do so I did as they told and I survived… but I let my parents die. I couldn't help but think that if I was able to turn into something bigger I could've… I could've saved them…" Raven looked at the mirror image of her face and knew that if it was Beastboy's face she was looking at, he would have looked so much worse. She could hear the hurt in his voice but he was masking it well on her cold, unfeeling face. They were both silent for a moment, aside for the crunching sound of metal as Beastboy's power bent the basketball hoop in half.

"Beastboy, I'm… I'm sorry." Raven wasn't quite sure what to do or say; she wasn't used to comforting people.

"It's alright… Every great superhero has to have some tragic background story, right?" He attempted to crack a smile at her and Raven's heart felt even heavier. He was always trying so hard to lighten the mood when he had every reason to be upset.

"Thank you for… sharing with me Beastboy."

"No problem, Rae, Robin did say that this could be an opportunity to learn more about each other, right?"

"Yeah… I suppose that's true."

"Now that I've shared a bit about my past, you should tell me a bit about yours." Beastboy seemed to light a bit, which gave Raven hope. The idea of sharing her past was not something Raven was excited about however, but she felt she owed Beastboy at this point.

"Okay… Well I was born and grew up in a place called Azarath. My mother was Arella, a human, and well my father you already know. Growing up I didn't see my mother much so I didn't really have a relationship with her. I was raised by the monks of Azar and taught by Azar herself to control my emotions. They knew about my demon heritage and helped me learn how to suppress that part of me and keep Trigon out. It was strenuous work, learning to control myself and mediate several times a day. Eventually I left Azarath and made my way here where I met all of you. My background isn't as… detailed… as yours."

"Do you ever go back to Azarath? Or visit your mother?" Beastboy's voice had a more serious tone to it now that Raven wasn't really used to.

"Well, before my father made his way into this world he… destroyed Azarath. The place is now deserted but the souls of my people still exist there. I haven't seen my mother since I spoke to her about my destiny. I don't know what's become of her."

"Oh." The door to the roof opened to reveal Cyborg.

"There ya'll are, it's time for dinner!" Cyborg closed the door behind him, leaving the two alone again.

"I suppose we should go down." Raven stood as did Beastboy and she followed him to the roof door.

"Beastboy? Th… thank you for talking with me."

"Any time Rae."


Cyborg opened the door to the roof to see Beastboy and Raven sitting on the ground talking.

"There ya'll are, it's time for dinner!" He closed the door and headed for the kitchen. Those two had been spending a lot more time together and it was kind of freaking him out. Normally Raven couldn't stand to be in the little grass stain's presences for more than 10 minutes. Now that they had switched bodies though, they were seeing a lot more of each other in more than one way.

With all of his teammates switched, Cyborg couldn't help feel a bit left out. Of course the switch wasn't a good thing, but there were perks to it too. They were all getting to know more about each other and get the chance to use different powers. What Cyborg would give to be able to fly on his for once… Hopefully this whole situation would be resolved soon, they just needed to find Mumbo.

Once in the kitchen Cyborg grabbed a plate of the spaghetti and meatballs that Robin had cooked. Robin wasn't as good of a chef as Cyborg of course, but he was definitely the second best in the house. Starfire, in Robin's body of course, was already sitting at the table next to Cyborg. Robin grabbed himself a plate and sat down next to her and they were soon joined by Beastboy and Raven. It was hard getting used to seeing his friends in the wrong bodies. He still got the urge to call them by the wrong names but was trying his best to make this the least weird it could be. The eyes definitely helped him.

"I think we should pick up training again tomorrow, now that everyone has had time to… adjust to these new powers. You all can have the morning off, but in the afternoon I want to run through the obstacle course as individuals and then as a team. It's crucial that we can still fight in this situation."

"I most agree with you Robin! I am eager to try the course of obstacles without my powers!" Cyborg could see the less than excited looks on Beastboy and Raven's faces but didn't say anything about. Robin must not have noticed or at least didn't care enough to point it out either. Cyborg finished up his second helping of the pasta and stood to put his plate in the sink.

"Hey B, do you wanna play a video game?" Beastboy looked up at Cyborg eagerly but quickly went back to the neutral look he'd been sporting throughout dinner.

"I… I don't think it's the best idea in my… um… condition." Beastboy looked defeated and Cyborg hated seeing him like this but he understood. Raven's powers were not easy to control from what he'd heard and he didn't want to make it any harder on the little guy.

"That's alright, I'm gonna go work on my car then."

"Hey Cy, could I maybe watch?" Cyborg smiled at the suggestion, it had only been a day and half but it seemed like he hadn't hung out with the significantly less green teen in forever.

"Sure, but don't touch anything alright?" Beastboy jumped out of his seat and the two headed to the elevator and down to the garage. Cyborg made his way over to the car and pulled his tool cart over to it. His latest project was installing a completely new sound system; not really necessary, but it gave him something to do. Beastboy sat down on the ground next to the car and watched as Cyborg opened the driver's side door to get under the steering wheel. After messing with a few wires Cyborg sat back up and eyed Beastboy. He hadn't said anything since they got down here and it was worrying him. Beastboy was never quiet for this long. "How're you handling all this B?"

"I'm alright. It's pretty weird though, being Raven ya know? I had no idea her powers required so much… effort to control."

"There's some perks to this whole 'body switching thing' though."

"Yeah and what's that?"

"You get to spend more time with Raven." Cyborg put extra emphasis on the 'Rae' part of Raven. Beastboy's cheeks turned bright red and Cyborg couldn't control his laughter. "Don't tell me you suddenly have a crush on her now!" Beastboy only looked down at the grown, cheeks still aglow. "Dude!" Cyborg playfully punched Beastboy on the arm, knocking him on his back accidentally.

"She's actually pretty nice, ok? And she's… pretty…" Cyborg was ready to burst with excitement.

"Are you gonna tell her?"

"Tell her what?"

"That you like her! Geez how thick is your skull?" Beastboy didn't seem to hear that last comment.

"No way! She'd throw me out a window then kill me then throw me out a window again!"

"How do you know? What if she likes you back?"

"Are you kidding me? This is Raven we're talking about, I'm not even sure she's capable of liking someone... and even if she is there's no chance she likes me!"

"Don't sell yourself short dude, you'll never know until you give it a shot."

"Yeah I'll tell her when pigs fly; I'm goin' to bed dude." Beastboy stood and walked back to the elevator. Cyborg had an evil grin on his face as he was already planning on how he could play cupid for the two. He had to make this happen. First though, he probably should make sure Raven had some sort of feeling for the kid other than hate. He would have to plant the idea of Raven and Beastboy together in Raven's head, get her thinking about it. If she realized that he wasn't that bad of a dude maybe she would be willing to give him a shot. He turned back around and dove back into his car, resolving to put his plan into action tomorrow morning.


A/N Well there ya go! Chapter 4! It was a somewhat slow chapter, action-wise, but hopefully it picks up in the next couple chapters. I honestly have no idea where this story is going, it kind of just comes to me as I go along. I have some ideas on the resolution but I'm trying to stretch this out for as long as I can! I apologize now to any Cyborg fans as you probably won't be seeing much of him in this fic. I have a hard time writing for him and he honestly just isn't my favorite character (which is why he didn't switch bodies with anyone). I'll try and through in some parts for him here and there but I can't guarantee they will be huge. Please continue to review, I greatly appreciate it! Also I think after I finish this story I will go back and edit for grammar and spelling so that it looks neater!

Side Note: I keep forgetting that I have to re-enter the page breaks after I upload the document to fanfiction... I usually remember after a day but in the meantime, sorry if it gets confusing when I switch POVs without the page breaks!

~Important Announcement~

I will be going on vacation for 5 days next week and I most likely won't have time to write while I'm gone. I know most of my chapters have come out fairly fast but I will be out of commission for at least 5 days. I will try to get one or two more chapters up before I go, but hopefully it will give me time to think of some good places to take this story!
