Chapter two Cheaters never prosper
the first week of the bet was a struggle for Beast Boy but he seemed to be managing the hardest part being Cyborg seemed to enjoy this. He was constantly trying to taunt him into an argument going so far as to make what Cyborg affectionately called the ol' McDonald deluxe a foot long sub sandwich with chicken breast, bacon, ham, and roast beef with all the fixings that incident nearly gave poor bb an aneurism slapping the sandwich making most of it land on Cyborg's head.
Friday evening after a late training session found Beast Boy kicking at his door in frustration..when Raven passed by he was hopping on one foot cradling the other "Beast boy what's wrong?" he points at the door, shakes his head no then opens his hands. Trying to explain without losing. Before stomping off to the common room to watch some T.V.
It wasn't until she got to her own room that she realized why Beast Boy's door wouldn't open, she punched in her pass code, nothing "voice code Raven" and it slid open without hesitation she storms off looking for Cyborg knowing it was his doing. While she wanted Beast Boy to lose the bet..well a small annoying part did want him to win..she didn't want it to be because of someone cheating.
Fifteen minutes later a slightly dented Cyborg changed the security system back to pass codes "Try to help a girl out..and make a small fortune in the process.." feeling bad for the incident..slightly he walked into the common room to get a snack.. finding Beast Boy passed out on the couch he smirked.."This is going to be too easy." getting some grease paint he does Beast Boy's face up like a mime even putting a cute pink boutonniere on his chest..after all he deserved the little prank after the sandwich he had been cleaning meat grease out of his seems for two days but this would be funny.
when Beast Boy Woke up catching his reflection from the tv and he gave out a frustrated groan.. the common room was still dark which made him feel better least no one was up to see him in this predicament.. maybe if he was fast and quiet enough he could sneak off to the bathroom and wash this crud off.
without warning the Crap hit the metaphorical fan..as he turned the corner into the hall..suddenly a half asleep Robin looked really Pissed off.. A leap and before he can try to give an explanation the world falls into pain filled black..
In the infirmary Raven found herself giving comforting strokes of his hair still looking freaked out as she tried yet another healing Aura scowling at the other two Male titans..one in the next infirmary bed with gauze on his head. Not sure which of them deserved slow painful death more.. "Why didn't you just put him in a Slade mask if you wanted Robin to kill him you idiot!"
"Hey I never thought Rob would go overboard like that..I just dressed him up as a mime for a joke.."
"you know for having a computer brain..you can be really stupid think about it Green hair, White face dressed all in purple ringing any bells? If I hadn't went for a cup of tea when I did." she grunts in frustration.
Beast Boy eyes perked open wincing in pain.. looking surprised when he saw Raven next to him"you alright Beast Boy?..don't worry you can talk the bet is off..due to extenuating circumstances." he shakes his head adamantly grabbing a piece of paper scrawling out quickly "no still have 25 days" sighing Raven rolled her eyes "Alright..if you insist..but if you fail don't come crying to me when Cyborg has to set up the stomach pump again..I tried to get you out of this"
Walking into her room after she made sure that Beast Boy was comfortable..his insistence surprised her, she thought for sure he would welcome being let off the hook was he that desperate to impress her? Or did the prize mean that much to him?
She looked at herself not sure what he found so appealing.. she was practically the complete opposite of his usual type..blonde bubble headed..tanned.. Nice..
she admitted to herself she was none of those, and he completely struck out on her usual check list..smart, charming, polite it didn't make any logical sense why she would be interested.. yet she was. illogical things frightened her.
which was why she had thought up the bet in the first place..something she thought he could never accomplish in a million years she thought it would discourage him..but if anything it made him stubborn. And when she saw him hurt like that..it made her heart practically jump in her throat admittedly she had over reacted, she could of just pulled Robin away she supposed rather than blasting him into the wall head first but she had reacted rather than thinking..and when she found out it Was Cyborg's fault,it took a lot of will power not to dismantle her friend and sell him for scrap metal she needed to meditate, she had been much too emotional this morning. Maybe entering back into Nevermore could help her figure things out.
