The Silence is my own world of peace and I do not wish it to be destroyed.

Kyd Wykkyd

"It's still ridiculous," Raven stated moving her bishop.

Robin cocked his head thoughtful before playing his rook. "It's a great idea and it'll work, you'll see," Cyborg, who stood next to them, said - grinning like a Cheshire cat. "'C'mon Raven, it'll be fun!"

Said Raven just grunted, Robin sighed and watched Raven doing her next move before he agreed. "It's a bit … weird … but a pretty smart idea, it could work. Give it a try, Raven!"

"Why should I?" she asked annoyed not wanting to flirt with anyone for a damn mission.

"Because you're part of this team and because you have a task to do and Cyborg has an idea that could actually help you", Robin said.

"You can't force me to flirt with someone! That's ridiculous and I'm pretty sure it's not part of my job description! Besides, I can just assume that I'm pretty bad at flirting", Raven deadpanned before moving her queen. She was about to win.

Robin frowned, also noticing the latter, Cyborg rolled his eyes hearing Raven's 'arguments'.

"We'll do it together, Raven," Cyborg grinned.

"I don't want to. Check!"

Robin sighed defeated and moved his king out of the way but two moves later he stood in check again and Raven had beaten him.

"I hate to do this, Raven," Robin interfered and got up from his chair, still a bit moody because he got beaten at chess AGAIN.

"Cyborg's plan could work, I want you to give it a try. That's an order, Raven."

The purple-haired girl got up herself, growled and phrased through the floor.

-.-.-.-

*Several hours later*

"So, how are you going to do this?" Robin asked hesitantly by seeing all the stuff Cyborg got out flying around in the garage.

"It will kinda work like the time I went to the Hive Academy as Victor Stone. I'll create an illusion again just this time I'll do one for someone else as well – Raven in this case."

"And you are sure you can do that?" Robin still wasn't convinced. From all he knew doing such a projection for another person than a half robotic could be quite complicated.

"A few changes and it should work out just fine," Cyborg assured.

While Cyborg worked and Robin left, Beast Boy walked in, excited and loud as usual.

"This is goin' to be soo cool, dude! And you really want to become a girl?" he snickered.

"It's just a projection, BB."

"Dude, you have to look suuuper duper HOT!"

Cyborg grinned. "What do you think I'm going to do?"

Giggling like teen girls they overheard Raven phrasing through the floor.

"Gizmo is just ten or so. He is way too young for being interested in girls," Raven dryly analyzed.

"He's fourteen", Cyborg retorted. "He might be growth-restricted and a nasty stinker but he's old enough for being interested in girls. Didn't ya see how he looks at Star every time we fight the Hive Five?"

Raven just stared before answering. "I never really payed attention, so sorry," she said voice soaked in sarcasm. "But he won't be interested in a 20 year old girl anyway."

Cyborg mumbled, Beast Boy tipped his chin.

"Whatever, a hot thirteen year old then! I'll get some girls clothes from the store!" And with that Beast Boy ran off, leaving Cyborg and Raven to themselves.

"Well, I didn't think the agething through…"

"Obviously," Raven deadpanned.

"I'll just walk around as a thirteen or fourteen year old girl then I guess. Not as much fun as being a hot 20 year old warrior princess but I'll be the coolest thirteen year old the world has ever seen!" Cyborg called out and with that he went back to work.

Raven just rolled her eyes.

-.-.-.-

"I told Cyborg he could give me the appearance he wants too. He just shouldn't change too much and I want to keep my hair short," Raven declared plainly.

"Hope you know what you do by leaving this decision to him," Robin grinned before walking over to Starfire who played with Silkie on the couch.

Raven shrugged. How much could Beast Boy and Cyborg possibly do wrong with her appearance?"

-.-.-

"No."

"Raven, we spent a ton of time on this!" Cyborg whined.

"My breasts could serve as rescue cans!"

"…"

"Friend Raven is right, they are truly … large", Starfire threw in giggling.

"Nah, looks perfect!" Beast Boy grinned almost drooling but Cyborg went over to his computers and made Raven's "new" breasts a bit smaller.

"That's still not enough!" Raven said. Beast Boy's shoulders clearly slumped at this point.

"You want to catch a boy here, Raven! If this weird Kyd Wykkyd is at least a little bit human then he'll love them, believe me!" Cyborg averted.

"First of all: Beast Boy stop drooling and get your mind out of the gutter! Secondly: I'm not a sex doll, Cyborg! You will leave my body measurements how they are in reality or I'm out of this!" Raven growled and several tools in the garage started levitating.

Slightly depressed Cyborg went over to his computer and gave Raven's new appearance her old figure back – almost.

"Okay, think we're ready", Cy announced finally and walked Raven over to the mirror standing in the corner.

It was more than strange for Raven to see someone else in the mirror when she considered her new appearance. The silver bracelet on her left arm masked as a usual piece of jewelry was actually the control to turn her new appearance on and off.

Her short hair was black now but had kept its original cut and apart from her face everything else looked tolerably familiar.

Her piercing blue eyes wandered over the face in the mirror.

"I saw the face in an advertisement", Cyborg coughed in the background while Starfire went on congratulating Raven to her new appearance.

"You look truly beautiful Friend Raven! Not more beautiful than usually of course but very pretty in a different way!"

"It looks authentic and believable, they won't ever recognize you," Robin agreed contently.

Raven had to admit that she liked the new look. The eyes were something she had problems to get used to with but her face was truly pretty.

When she got dressed she was glad that Starfire had helped Beast Boy choosing some clothes, mainly because she was barely in need for any clothes in Beast Boy's opinion. Her fears of Starfire just choosing pink clothes weren't confirmed as well – luckily.

"Because the Kyd Wykkyd seems to be a more darker type of person we decided to choose clothes he would probably like. That is why we went to the shop of goth ...," Starfire chattered away about all the things she had seen in the 'shop of goth' but Raven was glad she actually liked the clothes. Sure, it wasn't her leotard and cloak but it was at least black. She looked like a total normal goth girl from earth without any superpowers.

To her disapproval she had to wear make-up to complete the look (at least in Star's opinion). But even Raven had to admit that make-up just helped the look in a good way. And it was all for this stupid villain.

She just couldn't imagine flirting with a boy, especially not while not being allowed to use her powers and being someone else. She wasn't Starfire and definitely not an outgoing person. This would be hard. But if it wouldn't work she could at least get out of this costume.

Still, socializing wasn't directly her strong suit.

She had tried to talk to Robin about it but he just told her to "do her best".

The plan was to shadow and then "accidentally" meet the Hive Five. Cyborg and Raven would look like "normal" girls, absolutely innocent and – absolutely interested in Kyd Wykkyd and Gizmo. They had to be subtle at the beginning of course, try to become friends with their targets and maybe even meet them more often "accidentally". But the plan itself was easy … being nice, a bit flirty … keeping them intrigued … As much as possible.

They had decided to emerge as cousins. Cyborg would be a 13-year old called 'Victoria' and Raven would go with the name Regan. When they had left the Tower the plan had sounded silly to Raven already but now she felt downright stupid.

Walking down the alley following the Hive Five into town Raven licked her strawberry ice cream and tried to behave normal.

"Hurry up, Victoria!" she angrily said throwing a glance at the blonde 13-year old behind her who tried desperately to keep up.

"Man, my legs are too short," Cyborg complained shoving some blond strands of hair out of his eyes for the thousandth time within the last five minutes.

"And jeez, what am I gonna do with all this hair? It's not even windy today and I already hate having hair at all!" he went on loudly.

"It was your idea, remember?" the older girl dryly replied. "And besides – you have to speak differently or they will read or intentions right from the beginning. Try to sound like a 13-year old girl."

Cyborg just grunted when they saw the Hive Five in front of them split up suddenly. Jinx went straight for some clothes shops, Mammoth sprinted in the direction of a booth where they sold all sorts of street food and the others just shrugged and split up as well.

"See ya later, Rav- Regan!" Cyborg called waving before he followed Gizmo down the main street.

Raven followed the boy known as Kyd Wykkyd but after a while she noticed that he didn't seem to have a destination. He rather seemed to walk all over the place actually. Sometimes he stopped in front of a shop window but they slowly left the inner city, reaching outlying districts in the west of Jump City.

Here we go. This is the main idea of this story and it hopefully explains the title as well (at least a little bit). :D

I wanted to thank my reviewers for the comments and the support, I'm glad you like the story so far. Special thanks to Emily The Avenger.

Would love to hear about this chapter as well. Good? Not good? Any wishes or suggestions for further chapters?

And again: Tell me about mistakes pls! I want to make this right, so ... Oh and everything Starfire says doesn't have to be grammatically right.

When it comes to her I'm doing some mistakes on purpose.

Of course I'm having some ideas for this story in mind but suggestions are highly welcome (... can you even say that? Highly welcome? Whatevs)

I'm still looking for a beta reader btw so yeah, if someone has the time and desire to help me ... go for it! :D

Have a lovely weekend!
