Chapter Twelve: Busted!
"How about we…just take a walk?" Beast Boy suggested after he had scrubbed all of the makeup - yes, makeup - off his face.
Raven agreed. This not-date had been one thing after another, and she was tired of it. Couldn't they just have some time alone without something weird happening? …of course not.
The two superheroes decided to take a peaceful path around town where they hopefully could relax in peace.
"Raven," Beast Boy began uncertainly. "There's something I've been wanting to tell you all night."
Raven raised an eyebrow.
Beast Boy waited for some other response, but, realizing he wasn't getting any, continued. "I kind of…um, sort of? Maybe just a little teensy weensy bit…might li-"
"Beast Boy!" Raven gasped.
"Yes?" Beast Boy asked hopefully.
"It's Control Freak."
Beast Boy felt his hope shrivel up and die. "Oh, okay…I guess that means we have to fight him, huh?"
Raven grimly nodded.
"Yay…"
BB/Rae
Cyborg and Starfire watched as Control Freak terrorized the little video game store while explaining to some geek how to get past the wormhole on Level 8 of…something.
"Should we not attack?" Starfire asked, concern shining in her eyes for the perfectly normal citizens being exposed to whatever disease that made Control Freak what he was.
Cyborg shrugged. "B and Rae can handle it. Who knows? Maybe we can get a few embarrassing photos off of this."
Robin took a break from licking his caramel on a stick to add his two cents. "Well, if the two of them got hurt, it would be our fault… It just wouldn't be responsible." He took a bite of his bar of caramel.
"Yeah, but if we interfered, that might be taking away good blackmail opportunities. Could you live that down?" Cyborg countered.
Robin paused from his caramel glazed and caramel filled donut to consider this. "Eh, you're right."
Cyborg smirked. "Besides, Rae can take about any bad guy - even with BB by her side."
Starfire nodded in agreement. Robin was too busy taking care of his caramel cubes.
Cyborg's expression turned to puzzlement of Robin's lack of complaining about not taking down the criminal himself. He reached over and jerked the newspaper Robin was hiding behind away to find…
"Man, you got a serious problem."
Robin's mask went wide, seeing that he had been discovered. Mountains of caramel as high as the tallest newspaper Robin could find were piled around him.
"I don't eat caramel!" he defended despite the evidence being all over his face, fingers, and, well, everywhere.
"Please, is this not the sweet unhealthy candy right here?" Starfire asked pointing toward the piles of candy. "What sort of activity are you partaking in if you are not consuming that which is edible?"
Cyborg smirked. "Illegal caramel activities?"
Starfire gasped. "Oh, Robin! Please, you are not taking part in caramel activities of which are against the law?"
Robin sighed and face palmed. "Starfire, I'm not doing anything illegal, and I don't eat caramel. I'm just… just collecting the caramel for the orphanage?"
"Oh, this is most wonderful! We must deliver the caramel to this orphanage of this very moment! Let us go!" Starfire gathered all of the candy in her arms and began to fly in the direction of the Jump City orphanage.
"Starfire, wait!" Robin desperately cried, nearly in tears at seeing his beloved caramel being taken away. Robin hesitated only to send Cyborg a deadly glare, and then he hightailed it after Starfire.
Cyborg chuckled to himself. "Ah, young love," he muttered, not sure of whether he was referring to Robin and Starfire or Robin and caramel.
"Hello Cyborg."
Cyborg had never been so scared in his life - not even when BumbleBee was after him for teaching Mas and Menos how to hack into her diary on the super computer. Raven was right behind him.
He slowly turned around. "Heh…heh…speaking of young love."
Raven's expression clearly said 'You are going to die a slow and painful death.' Beast Boy merely looked shocked.
"Um, how did you find out?" Cyborg asked to sidetrack her from killing him immediately. He needed to write out his will.
"I'm an empath. You're just lucky I was too distracted to catch you earlier. But you're still going to die," she said in that lethal monotone voice.
Cyborg nervously chuckled. "Any chance on getting a head start?"
"One," Raven growled. Cyborg was out of his chair by two and almost out of sight by three. Not far enough though.
Raven grabbed the struggling teen with her black claw of energy. "I love that you can do that," Beast Boy commented, now over his shock and fully aware that Cyborg had to have blackmail that would have him the laughing stock of the Titans again if he didn't get to it.
"I think it's time we go home."
BB/Rae
"I hate you all," Raven deadpanned.
Starfire and Robin were caught in the orphanage where Robin was taking caramel away as fast as Starfire was giving it out. The two were now sitting shamefully on the sofa - Robin, of course, was gnawing on a caramel bar. Cyborg, too, was mentally writing his will on the cushions.
"And you guys call me immature," Beast Boy commented smugly. "Look who's the mature one now! That's right. Me! Me me me me me ME!" Beast Boy broke out the cabbage patch as he continued his chant. "I got a date! I'm mature! You guys aren't! You will live alone with a cat! I'm so awesome! I got a date! I…I"
Beast Boy withered under Raven's death glare and obediently quieted.
"Yep, he's got a girlfriend now," Cyborg commented.
Beast Boy glared at him.
"I might just let you three live if you give me all the blackmail you collected," Raven offered, clearly showing that this was the best offer they were going to get. Cyborg was literally crying as he turned over all of the cameras and videos.
As soon as they were allowed to go, Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire jumped up and quickly left before Raven's mercy ran out. At least, they thought they had gotten off easy. If only they knew what she had planned for them in the morning…
"So, um, I guess this not-date didn't turn out like it was supposed to, huh?" Beast Boy admitted meekly.
Raven allowed one of her rare small smiles to grace her lips. "I suppose not, but it…wasn't horrible."
Beast Boy's ears perked up, and his eyes brightened. "Really? Would you…want to do it again sometime?"
*smack* !
Beast Boy's ears drooped again. "Yeah, I guess your right, but -"
"Maybe some time."
Raven had already left the Common Room before Beast Boy fully registered her words. "Really?" he asked the air. "Raven might go on another date with me? Yes! Yes, yes, yes! That means she might like me! Sort of like I like… I mean, um…cool."
BB/Rae
Raven was happy to be back in her regular old uniform and happy to be back to normal…for the most part. She hated to admit that she didn't think things would ever be 'normal' between her and Beast Boy again - not after what he had made her feel.
But maybe they would still be…nice.
Raven smiled to herself. Yes, they would definitely be nice.
BB/Rae
"Donny, I told you! Old Donny, I told you that we shouldn't have chased that girl. I told you, didn't I? And look where your choices got us. Duct taped to a wall and covered in honey and feathers and -."
"Oh, shut up, Bernie."
