R&R please? I'm having a bad day. Flamethrowers are welcome.

"Let's go on this one!" Beast Boy said, pulling Raven toward a line. She felt herself being slammed into Beast Boy as he stopped short in front of the ride he wanted to go on. In front of them, was a ride that looked like a pendulum. In a way, it resembled a windmill's fans. Turning and turning and turning. Screams a happiness and both horror emitted from that death trap and Raven gulped.
"You want to go on this ride?" she squeaked.
"Yeah! It'll be fun!" Before she could object, Beast Boy pulled her into that death trap and sat, buzzing in his seat.
"Put on your safety belt; if you don't your head will be smashed in." Beast Boy said, strapping on his. As soon as she heard that, she shuffled to tighten the belt as fast as she could. A few more people shuffled into the ride and she felt herself growing more and more nervous, mainly because that was what everyone else was feeling. A man came in to check that everyone had their safety belts on before he started the ride. As it lurched forward, Raven felt anxiety growing in her stomach. Oh! How did she let Beast Boy convince her to go on this stupid ride? She gripped Beast Boy's hand as the ride swung upside down. She screamed at the top of her lungs like everyone else and grew less and less nervous, but more and more nauseous. After the ride came to a complete stop, Raven stumbled out, a little bit disorientated.
"Never. Take me on that ride again." Raven said, glaring at Beast Boy as he tried to steady her.
"Right. Well I have a more calm ride we can go on."
"If it's the tunnel of love, I'm leaving."
"What? No!...Um...no...Come on." Beast Boy said, grabbing her pale hand. The green changeling lead his...erm...escort to a ride called Jump and Smile. The line wasn't long and within a few minutes Beast Boy had secured a seat for them both. Raven slid in next to him, still a bit nervous about his choice. She strapped in her safety belt and gripped the side of the ride, hoping to escape the anxiety she was feeling.
"It's not that bad of a ride." Beast Boy said, as the machine started up.
"Compared to what?" Raven replied as their seat rushed forward. It was lifted up, still a a high speed. It sped around a stupid frog which grinned madly. Raven felt herself being pushed into Beast Boy as their speed increased.
"Is this ride supposed to be like this?" Raven said, shouting over the screams of joy from the other passengers.
"I think so!" Beast Boy replied. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pry herself from Beast Boy. God, how she loathed that statement. Suddenly the ride stopped short, jerking Raven forward a little. Just like everyone else, she filed out, not wanting to wait for Beast Boy.
"You said that ride would be calm!" Raven said, clutching his shirt. She had a certain look in her eyes that Beast Boy knew all too well not to mess with.
"I'll make it up to you! Do you like cotton candy?"

Raven and Beast Boy were sitting on a bench, eating their pink and blue cotton candy cones. Raven looked rather content and Beast Boy was happily chewing on the blue piece of cloud.
"Fine."
"What?" Beast Boy said, dumbfounded.
"You are forgiven." Beast Boy grinned.
"It was the cotton candy, wasn't it?" he said.
"Perhaps." Raven replied, throwing the empty cone into the garbage. She looked tired, but didn't say anything about it. Beast Boy finished his cotton candy before looking at Raven.
"Okay. Your turn." Beast Boy said. Raven glanced over at a ride with lots of swings. She grinned and grabbed Beast Boy's hand, pointing at the ride.
"I want to go on that!" she said excitedly. Maybe it was the sugar.
"Sure." Beast Boy said, as he Raven skipped through the crowd. Was it just him, or did Raven's cloak seem a little pink? He shook his head and followed Raven to the ride, where she strapped herself in one of the swings. Beast Boy took the swing next to her and looked in curiosity as he saw that Raven was actually smiling. The ride started it up and the wings rose as they picked up speed. Raven was laughing and giggling and smiling, while she kicked her feet around. The ends of her cloak were a light pink.
Finally the ride stopped and Raven got unstrapped herself before looking at her watch. She frowned before looking back at Beast Boy.
"It's time to go. Robin said we should meet him at the entrance around now." Raven said. The ends of her cloak turned dark blue again as she yanked Beast Boy to the entrance of the carnival. As they were making their way through the crowd, though, there was a blood curdling scream. In an instant, Raven pulled up her hood and flew high above everyone's head, as they scrambled to flee the carnival. Beast Boy morphed into a hawk and soared alongside Raven, trying to locate what was going on.
"Over there!" Raven said, pointing to a precession of villains. Raven dove down along with Beast Boy and eyed them as her feet connected with the ground. Mad Mod, Control Freak, Mumbo Jumbo, Dr. Light and Red X were standing their ground, grinning at the fleeing civilians.
"If it ain't 2/5ths of the Teen Titans." Mad Mod said, sneering their name. His cockney accent was hard to understand, but she knew he meant to insult them.
"Get out of here. You know you're just going to lose like you do everytime." Raven growled.
"Meow! Someone's feisty!" Mumbo Jumbo said. Raven glared at him. He earned a top spot at her "Most Hated" list for kidnapping her and turning her into a rabbit.
"What do you want?" Beast Boy snarled.
"No me. Rather, us. Or, as we call ourselves, The League of Evil Villains!" Mad Mod said, pulling his cape up to his nose to imitate a vampire. He glanced up at the sky before sighing.
"I said...THE LEAGUE OF EVIL VILLAINS!" Again, he glanced at the sky. Groaning, Mad Mod slapped his forehead.
"RICKY! THE LEAGUE OF EVIL VILLAINS!" Suddenly a flash of lightning along with the sound of thunder appeared behind him and Raven rolled her eyes. Too easy.
"Alright Let's just get this over with! Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Raven said, uprooting a nearby tree. She threw it at Red X, who narrowly dodged it and disappeared and reappeared next to Mad Mod.
"Titans! Go!" she heard a familiar voice shout. She turned around to see Robin running at full speed, whipping out his bo staff. He ran toward Red X, twirling it around so fast, Raven could barely see it. Starfire threw starbolts at Mumbo Jumbo, managing to nick his shoulder. He cried out in pain before releasing a flurry of spells (A/N: I really don't know what Mumbo's "powers" are. Let's just say spells for now) Cyborg aimed his sonic cannon before blasting it at Mad Mod, who rolled out of the way. Beast Boy ran at Control Freak as a cheetah and when was close enough, morphed into a T-Rex and swung his tail at him. Being the couch potato he is, Control Freak didn't bother to run and was slammed to the ground easily.
"Hello Dr. Light. Fancy seeing you again!" Raven said, throwing a huge chunk of pavement at the cowering man. He screamed like a little girl before running away, probably into the fun house or something. Raven smiled triumphantly at her easy feat and dusted her hands. Before she could fully savor the moment, she felt a stabbing pain in her ankle. Lodged in her ankle was a white arrow and Raven glanced at Doctor Light, who was smiling mischievously. Her eyes glowed white and Dr. Light was sent flying backwards as a blast of dark energy hit him like a wave. She collapsed to the ground, having used the last of her energy and let herself sink into slumber. Just before her eyes fully closed, though, she heard her name being called and a green tiger running at her.

"What the-?" Raven sat up, and found herself face to face with Beast Boy. She rolled her eyes and gently pushed his face away from hers.
"I've got to stop waking up like that." she said, rubbing her head. She glanced down at her leg and was surprised to find it heavily bandaged. Suddenly, the memory of being shot with an arrow by Dr. Light was all too clear and she began to feel light headed.
"What happened after I collapsed?" Raven asked.
"Well, Starfire and Cyborg took you here while Robin and I finished up the 'League of Evil Villains' or whatever. Nothing really eventful." Beast Boy said, shrugging.
"Robin and you took down 5 villains by yourself?" Raven said in disbelief. Granted, they were incompetent, but still, 5 against 2? Beast Boy scratched the nape of his neck sheepishly.
"Well, before you passed out, you took care of Dr. Light, Control Freak ran away and Mumbo got hit pretty bad by one of Starfire's starbolts. So it was really on Red X and Mad Mod, but Mad Mod was easy to defeat.
"What kind of arrow did he hit me with? I've never seen one of those before, and it drained away all my power."
"You'll have to ask Cyborg, he's better at that type of stuff." Beast Boy said. He pushed a red button on the wall and almost immediately Cyborg came bounding in the room.
"Good; you're awake."
"What kind of arrow did he hit me with?" Raven said immediately. Cyborg frowned and took out a clipboard.
"I don't know. One thing's for sure; Dr. Light didn't make this." Cyborg said, shaking his head.
"How do you know that?"
"Because whoever did would have to know your weakness." Suddenly, Raven stiffened.
"You know my weakness?"
"You have a weakness?" Beast Boy said, interrupting the conversation.
"Not yet I don't. But it's impervious that we find out so we can get you an antidote. Obviously, someone is targeting you." Cyborg said, ignoring Beast Boy. The three sat in silence before Raven began to ask a question.
"My ankle...how far did the arrow go?" she asked. Cyborg sighed.
"It didn't pierce through your entire ankle, but it did leave a hole. You'll most definitely have some scars." Cyborg said. Raven sighed and swung her legs over to the side. Beast Boy handed her some crutches and and she clumsily started to move around. Getting frustrated at how slow she was going, Raven hovered above the ground, leaving the crutches behing.
"Huh. Why the hell didn't I think of that before?" she thought aloud.

black rose-raven angel: Yeah Doom Patrol is...messed up. Don't get me started on Mallah and the Brain's relationship in the comic books. If the world isn't ready for gay marriage, it definitely isn't ready for Mallah and the Brain. I'm not really a die hard DC fan, (I do like Spiderman) It's just Batman was the first ever comic book I read, and I tend to way more to DC. And why is everyone leaving BB and Rae alone? If I had a beard, I would soo be stroking it right now.
On another note, what happened to Raven is kinda what happened to my older sister. She was at a house party and some guy pulled a gun out and shot a guy in the throat. Next thing my sister knows, there's a hole in her ankle. Of course, this happened in 2001, so I'm not really sure what it looks like now (I don't constantly check my sister's ankle, mind you) Moral of the story: Don't go to house parties in Brooklyn.
