I've been having a little trouble with this chapter, it wanted to be written in several directions, but I force it to stay the planned course. The story did have it's planned course, but it is similar to myself. It is a troublesome being, wanting to shift in the slightest, but making a completely different result in the end. We came to an agreement and I think we both like the end result.
The usual; I own nothing with the exception of the OCs. Whom I might add are only heard from in the chapter by a scream. You'll see... And we're ready! Go on, enjoy!
BB groaned in pain as Sarah led him to a nearby bench, "I'm so gonna make her pay." he coughed as she eased him down. Sarah looked concerned, but let him continue, "I- Sorry, but what do I call you now?"
Sarah frowned in annoyance, "Just call me what you did three years ago."
He shook his head, "No, you have another name, another life. I need to respect that."
She shrugged, "Whatever. Call me Sarah."
He chuckled, but stopped and groaned when it hurt his ribs, "Alright Sarah it is."
She looked at the changling with concern, "Are you gonna be okay?"
He shrugged and sagged against the back of the bench, "Yeah, I'm just gonna be a little sore for about an hour." she still looked worried and he tried to wave it off, "Don't. Just don't think about it."
"What did she do to you?"
The changling closed his eyes and thought for a moment. He gazed at her with a very pained look in his eyes, both emotional and physical, "She shot my powers down for an hour." The changling looked at his right hand, it was trembling, "My powers..."
She wanted to try and get him out of the gutter and decided to ask: "So how does it work?"
He looked to her in confusion, "What?"
She grinned, "Your powers... how do they work?"
He shook his head and grinned, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Try me." she challenged.
He sighed, "Alright then." he gathered his thoughts and began, "My parents and I traveled the world," his eyes had a far away look of longing, "we went through all kinds of terrain. One day, my 'rents became interested with a new species of primate. They couldn't catch it so I thought I could help. I almost caught it, but then it bit me and ran off; turns out that I contracted this rare disease after that. My parents gave me a serum and this is the result." he gestured to his green features. "I also learned that I could shape-shift after that." he glanced at her, "It's been explained to me a lot so now I completely get it." he clenched a fist, "Every cell in my body changed that day I was bitten. The serum was the final straw and my body..." he relaxed his fist, "my body reconstructed itself so I could survive. I'm able to force my cells to morph me into almost anything." he turned to her with a look of hurt in his eyes, "Bad things happened after all that. Things I could have stopped... Any more questions?"
Sarah felt a bit guilty and even more horrible when her plan didn't work. She perked up at a sudden thought and supported the changling as she stood. "C'mon. I know what you need."
She could feel the sarcasm, "Really? What are we going?"
She grinned, "Just a little tea shop... they have this awesome cake!"
He groaned, "Stop! I gotta get back to the tower!"
She shook her head, "No way! You can't change for an hour and I think that stomach of yours needs refueling!"
"Does not!" he protested, but the organ betrayed him with a gurgle. "Shut it, you traitor!" he growled furiously.
Sarah giggled at his frustration, "I promise you'll love it."
He groaned, "Do you promise to leave me alone afterward?"
She grinned mischievously, "No way buster!" she looked up ahead to Drinks and Dregs, "It's just up ahead." She turned as she felt his eyes on her, showing him her dazzling smile, "Besides, the night is still young!"
He sighed and conceded defeat, "You win." She smirked and he muttered, "Why do I always lose arguments to women nowadays?"
She caught that, "Because, hell hath no fury like ours!" she cackled in fake evil mirth. Beast Boy held a slight smile and she leaped for joy, internally of course. "Good I'm starting to wear him down." they entered the shop and she set him down at the booth, "Be right back."
He was tired from the night and yawned, "Kay." and off she went to take their order. She ordered two monsters and an angel food cake. She paid and came back to find the green one napping, a slight snore coming from him. She sat down on the other side of the booth and the jostled table roused him. He looked around in alarm, "Who? When? Where? Wh-"
"Drink this." she passed him a monster. She sipped her own and watched him carefully, trying to make sure he wouldn't bolt. "No that he could in his condition..." she laughed as he was having trouble flicking the tab. "Never pays to be careful though."
He finally got it open, but got a face full of energy drink for his troubles. "Ah man!" Sarah continued to laugh. "No cool dude."
She gasped as the 'dude' sparked a flickering memory deep in her mind.
A flash:
lava surrounded the pair and she embraced someone.
A feeling:
she loved that person and would do anything to keep him safe...
even give her own life.
Another memory:
kissing him for the last time... then... nothing.
Everything was gone.
Gone!
She couldn't feel.
She couldn't move.
She couldn't taste.
She couldn't see.
All she could do was shift through memories.
It wasn't fair! She wanted him!
She didn't deserve him...
Regret.
All she could do was remember.
Remember.
She was hollow, a nothing.
She no longer mattered.
She could not weep.
Nor could she sleep.
She was stuck, awake, unaware.
But at the same time aware.
She wanted to die.
But all she could do was remember.
And regret.
Remember and regret...
Beat Boy caught on to her little intake and looked concerned, "Is something up?" he leaned forward, "Te- Sarah... I think you should leave." she looked at him in shock, "It's not safe."
She felt angry. Angry that the green changling kept trying to push her away. She let it flow in her words, "Listen to me green bean," he was taken aback by the assault. "I've tried to forget you and your little 'stunt' you pulled three years ago." The waitress came and delivered the cake with some plates and silverware. Abating the changling to her wrath for a few precious seconds. After the interruption Sarah continued using a more 'inside voice'. "I can't get it out of my head so just deal with it." she crossed her arms and smirked, "Besides, you were the one who hugged me in the classroom. Explain that."
He looked like he was about to come up with a reasonable explanation, but stopped, and nearly exploded, "I'm sorry then! Now will you just-"
"No." the tone of finality really irked the green one, "I'm not going anywhere until I get some answers." she cut them each a piece of cake and started to eat her own. He didn't move. "Eat." she finished her first piece, "Then we'll talk."
He grumbled something about 'women putting the fear of god in all men' or something along those lines. He took his first bite, swallowed. Then his eyes sparked a challenge to his current company. She grinned, the challenge had been accepted! They didn't so much eat the rest of the cake as they inhaled it. Beast Boy leaned back with a contented burp. Terra trumped his with a louder belch. He laughed, "Okay, okay! You win again."
She leaned back, a toothpick poking it's way out from her grin, "That's what I thought." she braced herself on the table with her elbows, "No get to talking."
When he made no move to she swiped his drink away with an evil smile, "No!" he protested. She held it above the teary titan, "Fine! I'll talk, I'll talk!" she gave him back the drink and he held it close to him, not wanting a repeat of the hostage situation.
Still he did nothing; she cleared her throat, "Ah, Beast Boy..."
He raised a hand for her to wait, "Sorry, but it's a lot to go over. Just... trying to go over the highlights."
She nodded, "Fine, but don't keep me waiting to long!" she looked at her phone: 11:54. She sighed, "Crap... York is gonna kill me."
Beast Boy was grateful for the small distraction, "Who?"
She pocketed the device, "York and Mary are the one who took me in and- Wait a minute!" she glared at the changling, "Talk. Now!"
He gulped nervously, but regained his composure with a sip of monster, "Um..." he rubbed the back of his neck nervously under her penetrating stare, "Uh... The Titans..." she gestured for him to go on, "Yeah... We were more than just five a few years ago."
She stopped him, "Aren't you guys a global organization now or something?"
He coughed, "Yeah..." he grew serious, "But that was after-" he looked away and couldn't bring himself to say it. "Things happened and Robin knew we couldn't go at it alone anymore."
She quirked a brow, "What happened?"
The terrible and saddening memories almost crushed the changling, but he retained his posture, "Stuff." she tried to press the issue, but he beat her to the punch, "I don't like talking about it." his heart throbbed and he clutched his chest, "To painful"
Her eyes grew sympathetic, "Alright, if it hurts then I won't press." he nodded his thanks and she pondered what her next question should be. "What does it have to do with me?"
He looked up, "What?"
She sighed in exasperation, "Three years ago; you harassed me and called me a weird name. So I'm guessing that I'm a part of this."
He laughed, "You wish!" she looked annoyed, but he raised a hand in his defense, "Hey! I thought you looked like someone, but I made a mistake!"
This earned him a sad look, "Oh." a spark of hope, "Wait! You hugged me the other day! Why?"
He shrugged as he nonchalantly leaned against the back of the booth, "What can I say? You're hot and I took a shot."
She was shocked that he freely admitted his attraction, she thought to capitalize on this, "So does that mean-"
He cut her off with a hard glare, "No." his gaze softened, "I'm sorry, but I can't"
She was growing annoyed again and had to clutch the table, lest she strangle him, "I thought you said-"
"I did." he stated with affection in his eyes, but despair as well, "But if we do this... It'll put you at risk. No matter how much I want to... I can't." he looked away in shame.
The response came as a shock to him as he flipped to look at her, "I don't mind a little danger." he continued to stare incredulously at her, "I know you'll do everything to protect me." she grasped his hand on the table, pleading with her eyes, "So... why don't we take a chance?
He glared angrily at her, "Are you sure that's why?" she looked confused so he elaborated, "You wanted answers. That's all you wanted from me. And now you're suddenly attracted to me?" he crossed his arms and looked out the window. "I don't buy it."
Sarah almost teared up, but held back. She was determined, she wouldn't let him go again. She couldn't explain the sudden infatuation with him, but she was sure she couldn't be without him, "I-it's the truth!"
He snorted in disbelief, "Yeah, heard that excuse a million times... Try something else." If looks could kill this would certainly have her pushing up daisies, "Something a little more... believable." If only she knew how much the words wanted to make him retch.
Her face grew somber, she started to cry, "I-I don't know anymore!" she set her head on the table and shook under the force of her sobbing. "I pushed you away three years ago," she sniffed and looked at the changling, "but I want you now." she started to reach for his hand, "Isn't that what matters." He drew his hand back and she looked up to his face and she saw a face of pain. Extreme pain. She could see how her words were crushing his resolve, "One last push..." she thought with a sliver of hope. "God, he's being so difficult... it- it hurts! It hurts so much!"
She clutched at her chest and head, Beast boy looked concerned, "Hey, are you okay?"
She shuddered in pain and grimaced, "N-no. Can't- head hurts. And... tom much pain... in- heart."
BB understood what was going on and gripped her wrist, "Fight it." he begged, near tears. "Whatever you do don't give in! Fight it! Do. Not. Remember." She was still in pain and he tried to sooth her by clutching her hand as if her life depended on it, "Whatever happens, I'm here." his thumb stroked the backside of her hand, "I'm here Te-"
She couldn't hear the name, but at the same time she did hear. Once he said it the word seemed to vibrate within her, like it belonged. She relaxed and let the repressed thoughts and feeling wash over her:
Another flash:
She was laughing,
holding the last slice.
She won the roulette!
She smiled, "Thanks guys."
Another flash:
She was walking down the beach with him,
he turned to give her his goofy smile.
She laughed and they both stared to the setting sun.
She glanced at him from her peripheral vision,
he did the same.
They both looked away, blushing.
He cleared his throat, "Ah, um..."
She grinned, it was so cute how flustered he got.
"Hey," he turned her to face him,
holding on at he waist.
She was nervous and spoke, "Beast Boy-"
He looked at her,
determined to speak up,
"Listen, I'm guessing you know..."
He trailed off and studied her expression.
He realized that she was clueless!
"Um..."
She wanted him to continue and prodded,
"So, what do I know?"
She didn't move his hand from her waist,
she was quite content with it actually.
He muttered, "Actions speak louder then..."
She frowned, "What's that supposed to umph-"
She couldn't speak,
she was to distracted with his lips on hers.
She gave in to her heart and embraced him.
He broke away and looked anywhere, but her.
She turned his face her way,
"How long?" she asked.
His eyes shifted, "A while... I didn't know right away until..."
She grinned, "Good."
"What?"
"Now I won't feel guilty."
"About wh- umph!"
She cut him off with a kiss of her own.
They broke away again,
this time they embraced each other until the sun set.
They walked away,
warmed from the chilly air by the object of their own affections.
Another set of feeling:
She did feel guilty.
She really did like him,
but she knew it couldn't last.
The set of kisses felt amazing,
like she'd never feel complete in her life without him.
They were real.
She actually did feel for the green changling,
but she wondered if it wasn't just some passing fling...
They both were only fourteen,
so it couldn't possibly be love,
they were way to young for that!
Weren't they?
Her heart ached for more,
more of the green changling.
But she couldn't,
a few more week and-
The memory cut off and she gasped in pain, both in heart and mind. She heard that name that resonated in her and looked up to the concerned features of the green one, "Sleep. It will all be better after some rest." he was beside her, rubbing her shoulder and upper back in a soothing motion.
She felt her muscles relaxing, "M'kay." she muttered, sleep already overtaking her drooping eyelids. Her mind was screaming for her to snap out of it, "He still hasn't answered all of my questions! He lied! Remember! C'mon! He does know you." but she couldn't follow the thought, she was much to tired. So she gave in to the embracing arms of soothing darkness.
BB sighed, "Great, she's starting to remember." he propped her up and crossed his fingers to rest his chin on, "What to do..." inspiration struck. He hoisted her up and draped her arms across hi shoulders, still she didn't wake. He smirked, "Always the heavy sleeper." He thanked the cashier/waitress and assured her that he'd get 'Sarah' home safely as he walked out. He flicked open a cell and called, hoping the other person was still up. "C'mon, I know you're still in town."
A filtered voice answered, "Hello, good to finally hear from you."
He tried not to be to frustrated as he carried his passenger down the street, "Hey, I'm sorry to ask, but could you pick us up?"
He could almost hear the smirk in the others filtered voice, "Us? Sounds a little intriguing... Where at?"
"Danton and Ford." he grunted, "It's a bit of an emergency."
"On my way."
He realized a slight flaw in his plan, "Oh right... You wouldn't mind being around any of the League, would you?" Silence on the other end, "Hey! You still there? Wi-"
"No." came the sudden reply. "I have no qualms with them, nor they with me. I'll be there in ten minutes."
"Great." he hung up, "Now for the hard call..." he dialed the communication frequency; it was only supposed to be used in emergencies, but this definitely qualified. It started to ring. "Now I just need a way to keep this quiet..." he hoped he wouldn't get someone chatty or invasive on the line. But luck was not on his side tonight.
Batman answered the call marked under the E-frequency; he really hoped it was a false alarm instead of another omega class situation. He sighed in relief as Beast Boys face filled the screen. Then he addressed him in an annoyed tone, "Beast Boy," the emphasis on the childish part seemed to annoy the caller. Good. "I hope I don't need to remind you why we gave you this code."
"No but-"
"Good, now I need to get back to work."
He was about to end that call, but was interrupted when the changling vented anger and frustration towards the League member, "Get off your high and mighty ass and listen for a minute!"
The outburst surprised the Bat, he'd known the changling as the weak link in the team, the only one without enough spine to get the job done he pulled back and reassessed the caller. He looked worn out, stressed, and almost... heartbroken. "What is it?"
He huffed, "That's better... I need to borrow J'onn."
The Bat paused waiting for the punchline he felt sure to come, thinking it was a prank call, "What's the joke?"
He appeared serious about... whatever it was. "No joke. If I don't have someones mind fixed up, then Jump will have a lot of problems."
He raised a masked brow, "What kind?"
"Just please get J'onn already." he looked close to tears, "I only need him for like twenty minutes."
"Then tell me what the problem is." the caller was annoyed by the persistence.
Luckily the Bat was saved from another outburst by Green Arrow, "Hey, what's going on?" he looked at the screen and grinned, "Well, well. If it isn't Beast Boy of the Titans. How ya doin'?"
The caller growled in frustration, a car could be hear in the background, "Not now Arrow, please."
He raised his arms in defense, "Whoa! Calm down. He turned to Batman, "What's the deal?"
The dark knight was contemplating his next course of action, "He needs to borrow J'onn, but won't tell me what for."
Green Arrow crossed his arms, "Hmm..." he snapped his fingers as he got an idea, "Got it! How 'bout you send me and J'onn. That way I can watch and you get a report."
The dark knight turned to BB, "It's either that or you can ask Raven."
He groaned, "I would, but she's busy... that's why I need J'onn." he thought about their offer, "Fine, whatever. Send them to my coordinates in five."
Batman smirked under his cowl, "Alright, watchtower out." he ended the call and turned to Arrow, "You report everything to me. Don't leave out the details."
Arrow scratched the back of his head, "I'll only do what I can." the Bat was about to protest and Arrow held up a hand to stop him. "Look, the kid obviously didn't want a lot of people to know." His partner raised a brow, "I'm just sayin' that maybe he's right in keeping it close to the chest." he turned and nonchalantly waved back, "Think outside that little cave my dark friend. I'll be in the transport room."
The Bat keyed his ear comm, "J'onn-"
The Martian placed a hand on his shoulder, surprising the Gotham hero, "I know, I was listening."
He turned to face his comrade, "Did you pick anything up from him?"
The Martian grew somber as he recollected the emotions, "He's in pain. So much pain. I'm surprised he hasn't gone insane from it." The Bat looked surprised until the Martian added, "There's also happiness, but... not as great as the pain."
He prodded J'onn, "Anything specific?"
He contemplated before answering, "I've felt a similar kind of pain. You have too."
The Bat was taken aback by that, "What?"
"Indeed." he started to walk away, but paused, "If he does not wish to speak of this pain, then I suggest you don't try to prod." he smiled a sympathetic smile, "It is for the best, I believe." he walked off to the transport room.
Leaving the Bat to brood over the news, "What could have caused him so much pain?" he keyed to archives, "Question, I need some answers."
His reply came filtered, he was a bit more paranoid than Batman himself. "On what?"
"Get me everything we have and everything you have on Garfield Logan."
"What makes you think I have-"
"Question!" The Bat knew how to intimidate, even over the comm, "I'm not asking. I need that data. Now."
"On it." came the quick reply before the channel went dead. He smirked underneath the mask. Still got it.
Beat Boy was pacing in her room as she slept. His ride was propped up against the door, the dark hiding his features, "You know pacing isn't going to help her much."
"I know!" snapped the changling, "I just need to-"
"vent?" offered the shadowed person. BB nodded and the other sighed in exasperation, "I don't know why you don't want her to remember... personally I could care less about your opinion." He pointed to the sleeping form, "But she on the other hand is trying to remember. Why are you stopping her?"
"She wanted a normal life." he muttered in a feeble defense.
He was cut off by an agitated counter, "That was three years ago child. Why stop her from remembering? You're only making both yourself and her more miserable."
He growled, "Weren't you the one that pretty much told me to leave her alone three years ago?"
The figure walked out of the shadows and his one-eyed stare seemed to penetrate his soul, it narrowed, "I did. But that was when she wanted it. Now she wants her old life back, but look who's stopping her." he knew that he was pushing buttons he shouldn't touch, "The one that she wholly trusted. The one that she-"
"Enough!" A few bones of his cracked with the strain of forcing a transformation, but he still retained his human form; at least for now. "Slade, if she remembers... It will crush her."
The masked on made a 'tsk tsk' sound as he waved a finger at the changling, "It's not Slade anymore. Don't you remember what I told you?"
"Oh yeah..." he was glad for the change in subject, "So how's the new job working out."
The ex-nemesis resisted the urge to facepalm... or in this case, maskpalm. "I told you-" he was cut off by the door bell, both of them looked to see if the girl would waken. All she did was roll over in the covers. "Was she always this heavy a sleeper?" BB nodded. "Oh well... let's go meet the 'guests'."
BB stopped him with an outstretched arm, "Wait for it..." they heard a woman scream and BB laughed, "Okay let's go get 'em."
The masked one sighed, "You're sense of humor is a bit lacking."
"Hey!"
A few minutes later and they were back in the room with J'onn and Green Arrow. Arrow shook the young teens hand, "Hey, I've always wanted to meet you."
BB looked astonished, "R-really?"
Arrow smiled, "Yeah. Heard you got a lot of promise..." he leaned in, "But FYI, you might want to get a better name."
BB chuckled, "I've been thinking about it."
"Great." the Arrow really wanted the best for the young Titan and BB felt as such.
"So... not to be rude, but why are you here? I just needed J'onn."
Arrow made a 'crazy' motion, "Bats is a little paranoid." he grinned again, "Can't say I'm complaining though, you look like you have good character." he gazed at the sleeping bed, "So is this the problem?" BB nodded and he whistled in sympathy, "Hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned."
"Try three." the changling muttered
Arrow caught this, "No kiddin'?" BB only blushed and nodded again. Arrow pat his shoulder, "I feel for ya buddy."
The cyclops was getting impatient, "Enough!" he turned to J'onn, "Martian, do what needs to be done."
J'onn did not get impatient, but remained almost as stoic as Raven, "And that would be...?"
The changling stepped up, "I need you to lock up repressed memories in her."
The Martian was confused, "Repressed memories are just that... repressed. I can't-"
BB clarified, "Look, she's been remembering some repressed memories. It's like their... leaking out. I need you to plug up the leak." his eyes had a faraway look in them, "Permanently."
Arrow was shocked by the news, "Wait, wait!" he pointed to her, "The city is threatened with a kid remembering something she forgot?!" he groaned, "Anyone, feel free to fill me in."
Slade decided to give them the highlights, "She was on his team. They fell in love. She was forced to betray the Titans because of me. She killed me. And then saved the city from an underground volcano while sacrificing her own life. She came back and had no memory of anything and lived on." he turned to Beast Boy, "Did I miss anything?"
BB looked somber compared to the shocked reactions of the League members, "Yeah... that all happened three and half years ago."
Arrow couldn't imagine the amount of pain this caused the teen, but tried to sympathize. "Well, if you love her then why don't you let her remember?"
BB sighed, "I tried that three years ago when I met her, but she doesn't remember me or anyone." he clenched a fist, "She wanted a normal life and that's what she's gonna get." he relaxed and fought back the tears.
Arrow still looked concerned, "But what about you?"
BB looked away, "Doesn't matter... J'onn, do it."
The Martian nodded, "As you wish." and went to kneel by her bedside. Touching her mind.
Arrow however had different plans after the sudden revelation, "Hold on! You're doin' this to keep her happy? While you stay alone?" he shook his head, "There are other fish in the sea my friend."
The changling looked to the floor, "What I want doesn't matter." he looked up determinedly at the League member. "It's about what she wants."
Green Arrow smiled and clapped the teens arm, "That tears it!" the young titans looked at him confusedly, "I know what you have for her isn't just some fling."
BB wasn't convinced, "How can you say that? I'm still a kid by the Leagues standards!"
Arrow had a knowing look in his eye, "Yes, but according to the U.S. Government your a man when you reach eighteen."
"I'm seventeen." he muttered petulantly.
Arrow draped his arm over his shoulder, "Old enough to know the difference between lust and love in my eyes."
J'onn walked over to the Arrow, "I'm done, we should get back." he turned to the changling with sympathetic eyes, "The 'plug' as you've put it, is back in place."
BB shook his hand, "Thanks" he rubbed the back of his neck nervously, "Um... keep all this-"
Arrow assured him, "Don't worry! J'onn and I will keep shut about this."
The changling was still concerned, "What are you gonna tell Batman?"
J'onn contemplated this, "Hmm... I cannot lie very well... perhaps a version of the truth, but not of the whole?"
BB smiled, "Thanks, I owe you one!"
"Think nothing of it." and he left for the door downstairs.
Green Arrow was about to walk out, but paused, "Hey, Green Machine." BB looked up from his musing thoughts, "Who were the other two gals who gave you trouble?"
BB grinned and decided to have a little fun, "dude, you just heard the highlights of the past from one. But those two combined," he whistled, "not a good story to tell."
Arrow held up a hand in defeat, "Alright, I get it. How 'bout you come up to the Watchtower and we swap some stories over a meal?"
The changling clasped arms with the man, "It's a deal." and Green Arrow followed after J'onn.
Only the first three remained, one of them still, thankfully, sleeping. Slade cleared his throat as BB checked the time: 1:22, "If that's all then I think I should be going."
BB stopped him, "Wait... I need one more favor..."
The changling returned to the tower and was greeted by a belch from Kyd and Cyborg, and a groan from robin as he was finally beaten in Mortal Combat. "Hey BB, where ya been?"
"Out." the changling simply said, "God, I'm starving... any of the cakes left?" Robin smirked and pointed a thumb at the heaping piles of cake still left at the dining table. Beast Boy eyed the glorious mountains of heaping unhealthy food. "Thanks man."
Robin grinned, "Tell us what you did after the fight and maybe you won't need to thank me."
BB swallowed a piece of cake whole, "I'll make you all a deal," he had their attention now, "beat my high-score on Guitar Hero III and I'll spill my guts."
Cy grinned, "IT"S ON!"
Kyd cracked his knuckles in preparation and Robin stretched, not worried in the slightest. They all could play on expert mode on the game, but they all still had struggles.
BB grinned into his venom he picked up, "I bet you know which one I'm gonna pick."
Robin shook his head, "You're going down."
Cy paled a little, "Um... Rob, I think he means-"
"Oh caught on now did you?" he laughed as he picked up the guitar controller and flicked through the list of songs. Robin and Kyds eyes nearly dropped out of their sockets when they saw the selected song and mode, "There's no way you got that good!" the fearless leader protested.
BB chuckled and it was the sound of pure evil to the others, "Let's see if you can't keep up..." and so the contest began. The other three would spend the next couple of days nursing their wrists, but it would take them weeks to mend their broken pride.
The changling thought it was a very entertaining night and never thought he'd enjoy seeing his teammates squirm more than in that little competition. Kyd, to his credit, held his own and almost tied with BB. The changling was impressed and treated him to his morning call to coffee. He was sure that Kyd might stay up for another seventy-two hours, but meh. If you drank it enough you could sleep right after drinking the stuff.
BB took a sip and it sent shivers and explosion-y tingles throughout his body. Damn, it felt good. He smirked at his still groaning teammates, the still hadn't gotten off the floor from where they fell. He sipped his drink with a satisfied grin, "It's good to be the king."
This is a relatively short chapter for me, but I'd like most of my chapters to be around this length on average. I tried to devote time to the complex 'Sarah' and BB time; so I hope that issue was addressed well. I know it's mainly a Raven and Jinx pairing, but I thought some other pairs would need some love too! Besides, I have BB/Terra a subplot for this story and I think it's really interesting so I'm sticking with it and my main pairing!
I'll try and post my next chapter sometime in the coming week. In the meantime, look out for some of my other works which might be released. If you need some info on my works soon to come then go to my profile. A few stories or one-shots that will be posted are located under 'Third log'. That's it! I hope you've enjoyed this chapter and will enjoy what's to come! Zaan out!
Zaan- Crow Claw all the way!
