-1I know this took a while, but I do have a lot of things to do. If my post take long, don't worry. I promise to see all of my stories threw to the end. I will never leave a story unfinished on this site because if I do, must of you will hunt me down.
Chapter 2: Limits
Beast Boy and Cyborg were in the survival room. Cyborg was pushing buttons rapidly causing metal saucers to fly into the air quickly. Beast Boy stuck out his fingers like a gun and fired small electric bolts at the saucers hitting them all on target. He blew his fingers like smoking barrels.
"Come on Cy. That's way too easy."
Cyborg scratched his head.
"I don't get it. It's like you had those powers your entire life."
"Nope. I'm just the man!"
"Yeah, well let's see you handle this."
Cyborg pressed a couple of buttons. Ten machine guns came out of the walls.
Beast Boy squeaked. "Uh, Cyborg, aren't those for Starfire and Raven only?"
Cyborg smiled. "They're for you now too."
Cyborg pressed one more button and the machine guns began firing. Beast Boy gave one more yell and transformed into a Cheetah. He began to bob and weave through out the gun fire. He felt the transformation slowly losing its power. He instantaneously lost the transformation. Cyborg looked shocked from the control room.
"Say what!?"
Beast Boy was in a ball of fire.
"Dude, I'm on fire!" He began to run around the room. "Stop, drop and roll!" He flopped to the ground and began rolling.
Beast Boy stopped rolling.
"Wait a minute. This doesn't even burn. Hey Cyborg-"
Cyborg rushed into the survival room with a fire extinguisher and sprayed Beast Boy. When he stopped, Beast Boy was covered head to toe with the white foam. Cyborg tossed the extinguisher. Raven then walked into the room. She saw Beast Boy.
"What the hell is he covered in?" She looked at Cyborg who was panting from running to the room.
"Never mind, I don't want to know." She turned to leave not wanting an explanation of why Cyborg was panting and Beast Boy was covered in white stuff.
Beast Boy's eyes grew wide when he realized what she thought.
"Raven, wait! It's nothing like it looks!" He said.
As Raven left the room Beast Boy turned to Cyborg. He was fire red.
"Uh, B.B. I think you're about to catch on fire again."
The foam that covered Beast Boy began to sizzle and evaporate.
Up stairs in the main room, Starfire and Robin felt the tower shake violently. A few seconds later, Cyborg burst threw the floor and landed on the couch. They ran to him.
"Cyborg! What's wrong, are we under attack?" Robin asked.
"No." He said dizzily, reeling from the attack.
"Did you malfunction?" Starfire asked.
"Still…no."
"Then what?"
"Beast Boy's pissed."
They both looked down the hole where Cyborg had just been launched. They were staring all the way to the basement which was now on fire. They heard stomping up several stairs. Then the stomping stopped. Seconds later, they heard a toilet flush. More stomping. Then it stops again. They hear water filling a cup then the glug of someone drinking it. More stomping. One more stop. They hear a toilet flush for a second time. Then Beast Boy enters the main room.
"Don't use the third floor bathroom." He said. Then he saw Cyborg and remembered why he had came up stairs.
"Oh, yeah, I was about to turn off Cyborg, permanently." Beast Boy made his hands burst into flames.
"What the!?" Robin was about to ask Beast Boy a question but Starfire had other plans. At the top of her lungs (How ever many she may have) she screamed: "FIRE!" She flew out the window. A few seconds later she flew back into the main room with a fireman hat on and she was holding a fire hose. She pulled the lever and blasted Beast Boy into the wall. She turned the water off. Beast Boy was embedded in the wall from the force of the water.
"Are you alright Beast Boy?" She asked throwing the fire hose and the hat back out the window (Where an eerie noise like a cat being struck by something occurred.)
"Yeah, you only hurt my body!" Then he fell to the ground. Raven walked into the room. She saw Starfire looking nervous. She looked down to see Beast Boy on the ground right next to her, soaking wet.
"I still don't want know." She said. Beast Boy noticed her and caught on to what she was thinking again.
"Raven, it's still not what it looks like!" He said stumbling to his feet.
"What? Starfire didn't just blast you with a fire hose because of your new powers?"
"No, she didn't cum- come again? How'd you know she blasted me with a fire hose?"
"People from the fire department have been pounding on the door asking for their fire hose back." She walked into the kitchen and poured some water into a tea kettle.
Beast Boy noticed how calm she was and not yelling at him. He walked over to her as she set the black kettle on the stove.
"Uh, Raven, you okay? You seem more cheery than usual. It's not the end of the world again is it?"
"No. If I seem a little less irritated today it's because I've spent a nice amount of time away from you. If you want me to be cheery, then keep the day the way it is now." The kettle began to whistle. She levitated it to the counter and poured it in a cup. She got a bag of tea leaves and fixed her tea.
Beast Boy sighed as he realized that it was the same old Raven. The same Raven he was becoming fond with. He walked over to Cyborg who was still upside down on the couch. He was snoring loudly. Just as Beast Boy was about to kick him, the alarm went off.
"Trouble! Let's go!" Robin said running out of the main room to get his cycle.
Starfire flew out of the window. Cyborg had woken up and stumbled after Robin to get the T-car. Raven, holding her tea cup inches from her lip, irritably put the cup down and sunk into a black mass. Beast Boy sprinted towards the window, prepared to turn into a falcon. He felt himself go a few feet with his eyes closed. Then he felt himself falling. He opened his eyes to see the ground coming strait for him. He shrieked and then began flapping his arms wildly. Then he felt himself floating. He looked down to see a ring of black energy surrounding his lower body. He looked towards the tower to see Raven, eyes glowing white, floating and holding an outstretched hand towards Beast Boy.
"Are you nuts? Committing suicide isn't going to make you less irritating."
Beast Boy smiled at the save and scowled at the remark. She put him on the ground and landed a few feet away from him.
"I don't get it. When I was in the survival room, I turned into a cheetah, why can't I turn into a falcon?"
"Look, we need to go. If you need a lift I'll take you there. (How you get back is another story)"
"Nah, I don't want to be a problem to you." He said without thinking. He stared at his hands and then his shoes. He didn't notice Raven's cheeks turn slightly pink.
'Did he just say something considerate and…not dumb?' She shook the thought off, thinking that she had just imagined it.
"So, how are you going to get to the fight?"
Beast Boy looked up at her, just realizing he had refused her offer of travel. He smiled.
"I've got an idea." He turned towards the water that separated the city from Titan Tower. He focused the power he had used on Cyborg towards his feet. With a big burst, Beast Boy made a blast of fire burst from the soles of his shoes, sending himself propelling over the water and over some buildings, into the city.
He landed right in the middle of the fight. He looked up to see Cinder Block ripping a piece of the side walk off and hurling it at Robin. Robin threw one of his gadgets at the piece of side walk, exploding on impact. He ran and kicked Cinder Block causing him to stumble back.
Starfire was firing rapid plasma bolts as Cyborg shot his sonic cannon at the monster from the side. The attacks looked like they did little damage to Cinder Block. He swung his fist down on Cyborg causing a crater in the ground. He smashed Starfire between his giant stone fist like she was a fly. She dropped to the ground unconscious.
From behind Beast Boy, a giant city bus covered in black energy flew over his head and slammed right into Cinder Block. The big monster roared at Raven. He charged. Robin jumped into its path, just to be knocked out like a bowling pin. Raven rose her hands towards the rushing monster.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" The ground shook slightly. Then part of the street rose up in the path of Cinder Block. Without slowing, Cinder Block burst right threw and kept charging at Raven.
Raven was about to try to attack again until Cinder Block fell face first to the ground. She looked at the fallen monster and noticed that his right leg was gone. She saw Beast Boy holding out his palm towards the monster with smoke surrounding his hand. He looked angry.
Before she could say anything, Cinder Block began to move again. He looked at Beast Boy and roared. He slammed his stone arm into the ground causing the ground to shake violently. One of the buildings began to crumble right behind Beast Boy.
Right away she began to try to stop the building. She gasped as a surge of electricity flew into the air, completely disintegrating the building. She looked at Beast Boy who still had a serious look on his face. She watched him stand still with his eyes closed and dust particles falling around him.
'That was so cool.' She thought. She shook her head. 'What the hell. I think I have been hanging around Cyborg too much.' Once again, before she could move, Beast Boy opened his eyes. He rushed at Cinder Block, who was still on the ground. Right when Beast Boy got to Cinder Blocks side, a flash of lighting streaked across the sky. Beast Boy was on the other side of Cinder Block before the lightning left the sky. Raven blinked.
'What? How did he get over there so fast?' Then she was shocked even more to see Cinder Blocks body split in two, begin sparking, and then explode.
Beast Boy stood unmoving next to the rubble that was now Cinder Block. Then he passed out. Raven flew down to him. His body shook slightly, like trying to re-awaken him. She used her power to gently levitate Beast Boy and the rest of the Titans back to the tower.
The next morning…
Beast Boy wakes up in his own room. He is still fully dressed. He sits up slowly.
'Aw man, why do I feel so weak. I feel like I've been laying in jell-o for days.'
He got up, knees wobbly, and headed for the door. It opened and he slammed head to head with Raven. They both fell back rubbing their heads.
"Dude, that-" When he saw it was Raven he quickly tried to help her up.
"Raven, I'm sorry! I…I didn't try-"
"Save it. I'm just getting you for breakfast."
"You sure you're alright. I have a pretty hard head."
She turned from him blushing slightly again.
'There he goes with that caring crap. What's with him?'
She walked away without saying another word. He sighed.
"Why do I always have to make a fool out of myself around her!" He ran up to the main room.
Starfire was in the kitchen with Cyborg, taking notes on what to cook for humans and what not to. Robin sat on the couch in deep thought. Raven was once again fixing some tea. He walked in just as Cyborg sat a large plate of assorted meats on the counter. Right away, Beast Boy's anger flared.
"Dude! What's the deal? You know I can't eat meat!"
"So. That doesn't mean we can't." Cyborg was prepared to go back and forth with Beast Boy for however long it took. Beast Boy looked over at Raven, who sighed and rubbed her forehead in annoyance. He looked back at Cyborg.
"On second thought, I think I may have a bite."
"Well then…say what?" Everyone looked over at Beast Boy. He casually strode over to the plate of meat, took a sausage, and took a bite.
Everyone's jaw dropped to the floor.
"What the hell's up with you?" Cyborg asked.
"What? I can't really turn into all of those animals anymore. Besides, what do lions and tigers eat?"
"Bears!" Starfire shouted.
"Oh my." Robin said dropping his head.
"Something is definitely wrong with you B.B."
"Why do you say that?"
"Dude, you passed out yesterday after you killed Cinder Block."
"I remember using electricity to slice threw Cinder Block like butter but nothing after that. Why would I pass out?"
"I think you should hold off on using those powers Beast Boy. You're body was in shock because of the power you were unleashing. If you do something like that again, you may end up dead." Cyborg said.
"Oh come one! Yesterday you told me the only bad part was I couldn't turn into animals anymore. Now you're telling me if I use my powers too much, I'll die?"
"Beast Boy, you obliterated an entire building without moving. Power like that would even destroy my body." Raven said.
He looked down. He hadn't really tried to release power like that. He saw that Cinder Block was about to hurt Raven and got angry. He couldn't tell her that though.
"Okay, I'll ease up on the new powers for now. Can we give it a rest and have breakfast?"
He fixed himself a plate and sat down in front of the T.V. Raven looked at him. She didn't know what was going threw his mind, but this time she knew he was stuck between one thing and another. Beast Boy was trying to act a little more mature (not that it was working) and was actually acting a heck of a lot more nicer to her. She liked Beast Boy, more than she felt was necessary to admit, and didn't like seeing him in pain. (Unless she was the one causing it)
Beast Boy reached for the remote. Cyborg's eyes grew wide and he lunged for Beast Boy screaming no! Beast Boy clicked the power button and right away, several nude women and two men appeared, entangled together. Beast Boy stared at the T.V and then blood blasted from his nose. Raven turned to Cyborg angrily.
"You're sick!" She said menacingly.
Starfire looked happily at the movie playing.
"Oh, they know the Paris Hilton also! It looks like so much fun!"
Robin once again threw a bird boomerang into the T.V. He grabbed Starfire by the arm and dragged her from the room.
"Robin! I really want to see what the girls are doing with that white substance!"
Raven left the room swearing at Cyborg beneath her breath. Beast Boy stood up wiping the blood from his nose. He turned to Cyborg.
"Dude, you need a hobby."
"Oh shut up."
Beast Boy sat on the couch. He sighed. Cyborg pushed a button, replacing the destroyed big screen with another. He threw the remote to Beast Boy.
"What's on your mind?" He asked.
"Raven. I can't talk to her like I really want to. Nothing I do seems to make her like me any more or less. Okay maybe less but that is the opposite of what I want."
"Well, I can't even come close to what the girl is thinking but maybe you should hang out with her more. Do things she likes to do or something."
"That's how you got with Jinx?"
Cyborg turned away with a smirk on his face.
"Nobody said anything about her. That reminds me." He left the room making his hand into a cell phone. Before he had completely left the room, he heard him talking.
"Hey babe, how's it going? You get that present I sent you? The prison guard took it? I'll be right there."
Beast Boy got up and left the main room. He walked towards Raven's room. He hesitantly rose a hand to the door. He was going to tell her. He thought of several things to say to her but none seemed to sound right to him. After at least ten minutes of standing at her door with his fist raised, he decided it best to try when he got his thoughts together. He was about to walk away when Raven's door opened. He turned to see her standing there with nothing but a dark purple towel wrapped around her. She gasped and closed the door.
He stumbled back afraid that at any moment she would come out fully dressed to rip him apart, piece by piece. Instead, Raven's trembling voice called out to him.
"Uh, Beast Boy? What are you doing out there?"
"I…I…I was going…uh, to."
The door opened again. Raven still wore nothing but the towel. Although she had the I-Don't-Give-A-Damn look on her face, her cheeks were bright pink.
"Never mind. I'm going to take a shower. You should find it best to forget seeing me in a towel or I'll kill you in your sleep." Saying this made her blush even more and she quickly scurried down the hall to the bathroom.
Beast Boy stood staring at the empty space around him. Another second and he would have sworn he was dead and just remembering what Raven said before she killed him. He walked down the hall, passing the bathroom door as the shower came on.
He pictured Raven in his mind but shook it away quickly, fearing that even thinking of Raven that way would induce some type of telekinesis that would end with his death. He walked back to his room, laid in bed, and began to think of what to say to her. Without realizing it, he fell asleep.
How's that for coming back after not posting anything for a week! The story is moving slow right now because I got some complaints on another story that I was moving to fast. Oh, well. Look forward to the next chapter by the end of next week.
