So my friend isn't dead, which is a good thing. So now I'm back, baby! So now we are out of the teenage angst arc and are back where we're supposed to be! Great, isn't it? Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter!

Beast Boy woke up to the sound of knocking on his door. Grumbling, he stood up. He walked to his door, and opened it, revealing Herald. (He's back!) Beast Boy yawned, and scratched the back of his head. "Hey Herald," he muttered. "What's up?" Herald sighed.

"Do you happen to know where Jericho is?" He asked. "I haven't seen him since I dropped him off here the other day. I just assumed that he was just crashing here at first, but when he didn't come back to the hotel yesterday, I got worried." Beast Boy stared at Herald blankly, before shaking his head.

"Sorry, I haven't," he answered. "You can try talking to Kole, though." Herald nodded, and thanked Beast Boy. He started to leave, but stopped, and turned around.

"Oh, and by the way, good luck in your fight today!" He said, smiling. Then he walked away, leaving Beast Boy behind. Beast Boy stood there, frozen. He had completely forgot about the fight! Against Raven and Wondergirl! Beast Boy gulped. Raven and Wondergirl were well known for their ability to end matches rather quickly. Usually the match was over in under two minutes. Beast Boy took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He and Kole managed to beat their other opponents, they can beat another pair. Beast Boy shook his head. They could do it. He knew they could.

Beast Boy grabbed a uniform, and quickly put it on. Smiling, he exited his room, and walked towards the kitchen. On the way, he passed by the person on the top of his hate list. Robin stopped, and scowled at Beast Boy. Beast Boy narrowed his eyes, and bared his teeth. Robin just scoffed, and walked away. Beast Boy flipped the boy wonder off, before continuing towards the kitchen. When he reached the kitchen, he saw Raven sitting at the table, reading her book while drinking tea. Beast Boy greeted her, before grabbing a box of cereal, and soy milk. Whistling a tune to himself, he poured both contents into a bowl. He then sat down across from his opponent.

Taking a bite of his cereal, he attempted to start a conversation with the empath. "So...how's Wondergirl?" He asked. Raven glanced up at Beast Boy, and went back to her book, not answering. Beast Boy sighed. "What are you reading?" He asked, trying a different subject. Raven still didn't answer. Beast Boy sighed again. "How did you-"

He was cut off by Raven splashing cereal in his face with her magic. Beast Boy stared at her in shock. Raven then stood up, and walked away, passing Kole, who glared at the empath. Kole sighed. and grabbed a hand towel. She approached her partner, and gently began to clean his face. "Are you OK?" She asked. Beast Boy just nodded. Kole narrowed her eyes. "Why do you let her treat you like that?" She asked. Beast Boy froze at the mention of that subject. He sighed.

"She just has some anger issues," he muttered. "You really can't blame her, though. With her heritage and all." He sighed again. "So I let her treat my like that because I think it helps her keep herself in check. Like self help or something." Kole shook her head.

"Don't get me wrong, Beast Boy," she started. "I think it's admirable that you always put others before yourself, but you shouldn't have to deal with that kind of abuse." She finished her cleaning, and sat down next to him. "If you don't want that, then stand up for yourself." She smiled. "Listen, here's the plan. I'll focus on Wondergirl in the fight, while you can get Raven." Beast Boy began to sputter.

"On what world is that a good idea?" He exlaimed. "ME against RAVEN! Are you nuts!" Kole sighed, and patted Beast Boy's shoulder. She then stood up, and began to make her own cereal. Beast Boy shook his head, running his fingers through his hair. Was Kole insane?! Ther was no way he could face Raven alone! She would kill him! He glanced at Kole, who had sat down next to him. Kole took some of her cereal into her mouth, and chewed. She swallowed, and glanced at Beast Boy.

"So Herald said that Jericho was missing." She said. Beast Boy nodded.

"Yeah, he told me too." He cocked his head. "Where do you think he is, anyway?" Kole shrugged, and sighed.

"I'm sure he's fine," she told him. Beast Boy noted that it seemed more like she was trying to convince herself. He felt a pinge of jealousy. He shook his head. Jericho was missing, now was not the time to let his jealousy get in the way. He sighed, and continued eating.

...

Beast Boy was in the locker room, pacing back and forth. He was sweating. A lot. Kole glanced at her friend, feeling his nervousness. All of sudden, her plan didn't seem like a good idea. She took A deep breath, and stood up, placing a hand on Beast Boy's shoulder. "Calm down," she soothed. "We can do this, OK?" Beast Boy nodded, relaxing a little. Kole smiled, and let her hand fall from his shoulder to her side. Beast Boy felt a little bit empty, but brushed it off. Their match was going to start soon, he had to focus. about a minute later Kole tensed up. Beast Boy glanced at her, and turned his head, seeing Hot Spot and Argent walking away, holding their bruises.

Beast Boy gulped, but was nudged by Kole towards the exit. Beast Boy stopped, and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes, doing deep breaths that his parents taught him. He then opened his eyes, which were now cat slits. He forced a grin on his face, and stepped outside, letting himself be embraced by the crowd's cheering. He and Kole approached the ring, and hopped on. They then waited for their opponents to walk out. But instead they heard a noise behind them. They whirled around, and saw Raven and Wondergirl glaring at them. Beast Boy and Kole glanced at each other, and nodded. They then got into battle positions, and faced their opponents bravely.

'I'm through being pushed around Raven!' Beast Boy thought. 'Now it's my turn!'
