At Titans Tower, the showdown of all showdowns had begun. A stare down had commenced, and the tension in the room could be cut with a knife. Eyes were locked, fingers tight, and the spirit of competition was soaring.

"Come on, Raven. If it's gonna be a proper honor challenge, we need the chant."

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Pleeeeeeease? Come on… I'll be quiet for an hour."

"I don't think that's even physically possible, much as I would thoroughly enjoy it."

"Just do it. Please? For me."

She sighed. "Chug… chug… chug."

"See? Was that so hard?"

"Yes Beast Boy, it was."

Beast Boy and Cyborg sat opposite each other across the kitchen counter. Both rested one hand on the counter, and the other gripped a two liter soda bottle tightly. Neither broke the stare, even while Beast Boy was pleading with Raven, and both waited for the referee's signal. Nobody could quite remember how this honor challenge had come about, but that didn't matter now. What did matter now was who won… at least to Beast Boy and Cyborg it did. Honestly Raven couldn't care less, and that was saying something.

The honor challenge couldn't proceed of course without a little good-natured ribbing.

"You goin' down, little grass stain."

"Oh yeah tin man? You're gonna be crying like a little school girl when I'm done with you," Beast Boy fired back.

"Like hell," he grinned.

"Are you two done now?" Raven asked.

"Say it," Beast Boy urged.

Raven sighed again. "Go," she said flatly.

Beast Boy and Cyborg whipped the bottles to their mouths and began chugging the soda as fast as possible. Raven watched skeptically, arms crossed. They were neck and neck… Cyborg ahead… then suddenly out of nowhere Beast Boy slurped down the rest of his soda and slammed the bottle onto the counter. Cyborg had one swallow left in his, and he looked at Beast Boy with utter astonishment.

"WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Raven rolled her eyes.

"Go Beast Boy, it's your birthday, you're number one, Cyborg's a loser, get fun-kay!"

Beast Boy sang and danced around, shaking his butt at Cyborg and waving his arms.

"Hey, hey Cyborg… what's that uh, left in your bottle there? It's your dignity my friend!" Beast Boy laughed and pointed.

"How could he beat me?" Cyborg moaned pitifully, his arms hanging by his sides and still completely in shock as he watched Beast Boy's victory dance.

"Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh uh huh uh hu-"

"Beast Boy, shut up," Raven cut him off, just as the alarms started ringing throughout the tower. Raven rushed over to the online map of the city and pinpointed the location of the disturbance.

"Second Street. Head out. Looks like we're going at this two Titans down."

The three rushed down to the garage only to remember that the T-Car was gone for the night.

"Aw hell," Cyborg commented. "Raven, how far can you teleport us?"

"Without using all my energy, I'd say to about 87th street. Beast Boy can fly from there and I can levitate you."

"Good. Let's go then."

When they arrived on scene, Beast Boy commented.

"You know, maybe it's a good thing Star and Rob aren't here. Bad memories, dude." He grinned.

"This should be a push over," Cyborg cracked his knuckles.

"Right. And let's do this fast cause I really gotta go to the little boy's room," Beast Boy said, squirming.

"I wouldn't be so sure about this being easy," an annoying high pitched voice sounded.

"Really Kitten? Cause I'm pretty sure the last time we fought you, we kicked all y'alls butts," Cyborg crossed his arms confidently.

On three gigantic moths, Kitten, her father Killer Moth, and Kitten's boyfriend Fang sat. Kitten was sporting a new bright pink metallic armor-like suit of some sort, and toting a rather large gun-like weapon. Fang had a new black uniform, and Killer Moth sat on his moth looking rather bored.

"You fought Daddy alone and Robin… wait, where is Robbie-poo and Starfire?!" she screeched.

"Ow," Beast Boy moaned, covering his sensitive ears.

"They ain't here tonight, it's just you and us," Cyborg responded.

"This won't do! You get Robbie and that stupid little alien here now, or your precious city is going to be one gigantic snack!" Kitten snapped as she stood up in her anger. She held up a bright blue round remote with a red button in the center. "Get them here now, or I press this button and those nasty bugs won't settle down until I tell them to!"

The three Titans were more attentive now. If Kitten was going to call in Killer Moth's entire horde like he did last time…

"Three… two… one!!"

Kitten dramatically pressed the red button. For a moment nothing happened while Kitten stood with an evil smile on her face. Then a slight buzzing sound was heard, and as it got closer it was more distinguishable as the sound of hundreds of flapping wings. Soon over the tops of buildings masses of moths could be seen covering the sky.

"Oh shi-"

"Cyborg! Look out!" Raven quickly pushed him out of the way as Fang leaped like lightening off his moth and headed straight for the robotic boy. Beast Boy morphed into a tiger and swung his massive paws at Killer Moth, who had charged the changeling.

Fang switched his attacks toward Raven, who blocked his strikes with her magic.

Cyborg had become occupied with the clump of moths that had descended and began attacking him. He attempted to hit multiples with his sonic cannon, but it was not readily effective.

Raven blocked Fang with a shield and uprooted a street light to swing at him. Fang easily ducked the awkward weapon and shot a wad of gray web. Raven caught it in another shield and threw it away. That's when she found out that somehow Kitten's gun had the ability to shoot Fang's attacks as well; while she was occupied with the hybrid Kitten managed to coat her cloak with the sticky mess.

"Ugh," Raven said, delicately lifting a corner of the fabric. Taking advantage of the situation Fang kicked her in a vulnerable moment and she flew backwards onto the street. Upon trying to get back up, she realized her cloak was stuck to the pavement. She quickly undid the clasp and phased out of the way just as Fang was descending upon her.

Beast Boy was having a tough time fighting Killer Moth by himself, and he ended up using avoiding tactics more than offensive ones. It didn't help that tons of moths were also distracting him, enabling Killer Moth to get in a few good blows. Raven phased up next to Beast Boy to help him, seeing as how Fang had now engaged Cyborg in battle, who had attempted to go after Kitten.

Beast Boy, now feeling better at having back-up, was starting to attack more in the offensive. He changed into a bear and swung powerful paws at the villain while Raven hurled random loose objects from the street at him. Killer moth caught one of her projectiles, a mail box, and hurled it back at her. Raven was caught off guard and Beast Boy stepped in to save her, pushing her down just in time. He changed back to his human form and extended his hand to help her back up. But he shouldn't have turned his back, because in a split second, before Raven had time to warn him, Killer Moth descended on him and swung a nasty blow to his back, sending him flying towards a brick wall. Beast Boy's head hit with a sickening crack and the boy crumpled, unconscious.

"Beast Boy!" Raven shouted, panicked. Angered, she turned towards Killer Moth and used her powers to uplift a huge chunk of street and fling it at him, pressing him across the street to the buildings on the other side where he fell in a heap of rocky debris.

She hurried over to Beast Boy's side and gently lifted his head. His forehead was bleeding, and she waved her hand over the abrasion to make the cut heal.

"Beast Boy," she called anxiously, hoping to get him conscious again. He was completely out.

Raven didn't have much time to think, because moths began scratching at her unprotected back and diving for Beast Boy, and Raven realized that she felt like she was naked without her cloak. She levitated the boy into her arms and carried him into the alley they were next to. She looked back and realized that Fang was on her heels; Cyborg challenging the hordes of moths again, blasting his cannon in all directions.

She quickly laid Beast Boy down, head in her lap and raised a shield over them both. Fang shot a few of his paralyzing rays at her shield, but both were protected. He gave up and went back to attack Cyborg. After realizing the arachnid hybrid was gone Raven let down the shield and picked Beast Boy up again, moving him to the very back of the alley. She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and let his head rest on her shoulder. She rested once she got to the corner, and watched as Cyborg did his best to fight off moths and Fang.

"We need help," she croaked, but her communicator was attached to her cloak.

Instead she wondered what to do with Beast Boy. He was completely defenseless while unconscious, and she couldn't just leave him. An overwhelming sense of worry and needing to protect him came over her, and she hugged him tighter.

Despite the grave situation, she couldn't help but notice the feel of his body pressed to hers… and that they kind of fit together… nicely. Like it felt… okay… for him to be this close to her. She also thought that he would smell like… well like a smelly sweaty boy, but he actually smelled… nice. 'He must use cologne...' she thought. 'Wait a minute, what am I thinking?! This is no time to be thinking about how nice Beast Boy smells, Raven! You need to get his communicator!'

Well, now this was a delicate situation. Beast Boy's communicator was in his pocket. His pocket was rather close to… other things. Raven blushed, but she realized it had to be done. Supporting him with one arm, she reached down to his pocket and put her hand inside, searching for the little device.

"Rrr… Raven?" Beast Boy mumbled into her hair, and Raven shot her hand out of Beast Boy's pocket like it was on fire.

"Beast Boy, are you okay?" she asked, wrapping her arms around him tightly again.

"I… I have a massive headache… and my stomach feels sick…"

"Oh no… you probably have a concussion, and a bad one at that."

"Raven… I-" but Beast Boy didn't get to finish. Raven grimaced as she let him go to lean over and get sick in the alley.

"That's not good. We need to get you back home." Raven rested a reassuring hand on his back as Beast Boy retched and watched while Cyborg fought a losing battle as the moths buzzed round and round.

Cyborg had had enough. He quickly whipped his arm up to his face and attempted to call Robin.

Okay, here it is, another chapter. Yay! And as you can see, the beginning to a little BBxRae action. Aren't you glad I'm uploading this instead of studying for the two huge tests I have next week on the same day? Of course you are.
