Hey sup guys, thanks for the support for the first chapter. Anyways i'm going to try to update this story every week. I should be able to because i have huge gaps between classes and get bored easily. also I'm most likely going to stay in Beast Boy's POV because like my pen name says I am a dude so it would be a little weird to write from Raven's perspective. I mean i relate to Beast Boy but, Raven is my favorite and i want to do her justice. I feel like if i wrote from her perspective i would ruin her but that's just me. Now I'm rambling so without further ado, the Second chapter begins.
Chapter 2
As I walk down the hall, following Cyborg, I smell the scents of everybody in the common/living room (Idk what to call it). Fans always ask me how can i tell people apart from smells? I say how can I not? Everybody has a unique smell that is special to them, some are hard to explain while others are not. Like Robin, he always smells of sweat and cheap hair gel, mixed with adrenaline. StarFire on the other hand smells like happiness (Yes, I can smell most emotions based on the pheromones each emotion gives off) and mustard, her favorite Earth "beverage".
I was so immersed in my thoughts I almost ran into Robin. He eyed me suspiciously like I was A clone or something. (As much as you can eye someone through a mask).
"Beast Boy, are you okay?" he questioned.
"Of course I'm okay, why wouldn't I be?" I questioned back.
"I Don't know, you weren't exactly rushing to the common room to play Mega Monkeys Five that just came out and to have your morning argument with Cyborg about meat or tofu for breakfast," He stated matter-of-factly, like he usually does.
"Just still adjusting and slept in a little bit," I whimpered.
His face automatically softened, as I knew it would because only Raven knew where I was with getting over what happened, everyone was on eggshells around me. So sometimes I use it as excuse for showing up late or failing in training and avoiding conversations (I know its bad but i really didn't want to talk to him).
"okay," he submitted,"just make sure you are not late to training later today."
"Yes sir," I said in a fake military voice.
"Seriously, don't call me sir," he joked back.
He left down the hall either to the gym or his study room to looks for leads on Slade. I didn't care, I Always thought he worked too hard. The doors slid open to the common room and there he was playing Mega Monkeys Five just like he said he would. As I walk over I scan over the room and notice my "love" drinking herbal tea on the main table with a book open suspended by her magic. On the other side of the room, I see Starfire wrestling my CD out of Silkie's mouth. WAIT? My CD? I squeal and morph into a falcon straight between them and start wrestling too.
"Starfire!" I exclaim through pulls," how did Silkie get into my tunes?"
"Oh friend Beast Boy, it is a most humorous story," she beamed at me," This morning I forgot to feed Silkie the food of dogs and he did the scoot to the common room and started eating your cd's of music," she laughed at the end.
"This Isn't funny, my tunes are my life," I gritted as we finally pulled the cd out of his mouth,"Aww, its ruined and that was a signed copy of Lecrae," I said after closer inspection.
"I am the sorry, Beast Boy, I will do the punishing of Silkie severely," She said sadly.
It's fine, Lecrae is supposed to do a tour through Jump City next month I can get another cd there, good thing it wasn't my signed Michael Jackson cd or I would have cried," I say relieved.
Starfire's lit up immediately, a sign she had one of her ideas,"What if I take you to the tour of Lee-care?" she wondered.
"It's pronounced La-cray, and yeah that would be cool, but wouldn't it be weird if only we went though,?" I inquired?
Starfire though for a minute, during this time I stole a glance at Raven reading, dang she is beautiful. Starfire looked at me smiling, I hoped she didn't say something while i wasn't paying attention. Just don't say anything hopefully she says something that can help me.
"You wish to invite friend Raven?" she asked confused.
"What? I mean uh yeah," I said sheepishly while rubbing the back of my head.
"Good we three shall go to the tour of La cray," She said bubbly.
I was panicking, I could only go along with what she was saying, but I knew that Raven would never like a Rap concert. However, her distracting me gave Starfire the idea of inviting her and i couldn't let her down either, so I'm stuck.
"It's Lecrae, just one word Starfire," I corrected.
"Oh, I am the bad," she replied.
"He is not the most well known musician," I consoled her," so it's fine."
She smiled and exclaimed "I shall do the preparing for the trip" slowly rising higher into the hair and zoomed away, probably to her room.
Cyborg was listening at the time and as soon as Starfire whisked away he yelled at me to play with him.
"Im coming, this morning has been too stressful dude," I said while rubbing my temples.
"I heard, going to a concert with Raven I see," He teased.
I reddened at his words," It's not like that, you see Starfire and silkie and Raven…"
"Whatever you say grass stain," he smirked.
I didn't say anything just stared at him for a few seconds both knowing that he won. The game started and i started going going poorly for me, resulting in the both of yelling at each other by the third game.
I could smell Raven's anger rising in the background but i was too focused on the game to care at the moment. Until she got up and stood right in front of us, cutting off our view of the carnage.
"Hey Raven move, I'm whipping Beast Boy and I prefer it to stay that way," He demanded.
She didn't move and instead spoke,"Why do you guys even play this stupid game, I am trying to read," She deadpanned.
"This game isn't stupid, it's fun and I need to catch up," I replied.
She smirked and challenged," anybody could be good at this game,"
"Well then, you play it," Cyborg challenged back, still looking over her shoulder to see as much of the screen as possible.
An Brilliant idea formed in my mind, "Yeah, I'll even make a bet of it if I beat you, You have to come with me and Starfire to a concert and if you win, uh what do you want?" I questioned.
She thought and thought, her smirk started to grow wider on her face with every moment until she spoke.
"Okay Beast Boy, if I win, you wil have to make me Waffles every day for a month," she said.
"That's it, phfft, I can do that," l said haphazardly.
But she wasn't finished,"With eggs and milk," she finished.
I almost threw up in my mouth had could she be so cruel, but i needed her to come to the concert.
"Fine I accept your challenge," I managed to get out without regurgitating.
Cyborg watched the tension between us and loved every minute of it.
"Okay let the games begin," He exclaimed.
After we set up the game Raven asked,"So what is the point of this game,"
"You are trying to kill each with the various fruit related guns found among the map and the first player to thirty kills wins," Cyborg answered.
"sounds simple enough," She replied.
"And start!" said Cyborg enthusiastically.
The game was intense, I took an early lead of 6-0 as I expected to with Raven being a new player, but she caught on surprisingly quick and pretty soon i was only winning by two, 26-24.
Our game caught the attention of both Robin and Starfire, I was too wrapped up with the game I almost didn't notice them, it would have been better if I didn't because that lapse of focus caused Raven to go up on me 28-29. I was really desperate I went looking for the Banana launcher, the rarest gun in the game. There is only one per map and is always hid in different spots, making it extremely difficult to find. I ran into Raven while looking for it and barley killed her. It was now 29-29, next kill wins and I only had 20% health left. No way I would survive meeting her face to face. There it is, behind some banana boxes in the back of the map, I grab it ready for Raven.
She come around the corner and I take cover behind a house, she saw me and started shooting where I was at. But she doesn't know about my weapon, I run out from my hiding spot and fire. One of her shots hit me putting me at 5% but it doesn't matter anymore because i hit her and it is an instant kill.
"Aww yeah!" I yell as i fist pump the air.
"Good game," Raven said emotionless.
"Good job grass stain, i knew you had it in you," Cyborg congratulated.
"Thanks," I beamed.
Everyone dispersed except for Raven and I.
I turned to her,"So Raven about this concert?"
