"So, fishing…" Raven had to admit, it wasn't at all what she had expected. For one, Beast Boy was quiet. For nearly ten minutes they had just sat there, watching the water, fishing rods in hand. Not a word had been spoken, and for once it was Raven who broke the silence.

"Yup…fishing." Cyborg had his fishing rod mounted in a shoulder panel, no doubt hooked up to a sensor that would alert him to any biting. Beast Boy, despite his earlier protests, was glued to his own device, staring into the bay with the rapture of a hawk.

Loath to cause a fuss, Raven had to admit that she was bored. Her attention span was usually longer than this, but the stick held half-heartedly in hand and the silent bay was boring. She groaned, and spoke again, "So…is this it?"

Cyborg looked to Raven over the still unmoving Beast Boy. His one eye was ripe with mirth as he asked "Too quiet for ya?" She rolled her eyes, "Well…we could have just sat in the common room for all the good this is doing."

The half metal man nodded, "Maybe, but that isn't fishing. This," he made a sweeping motion with his arm, "is fishing."

"So…you just sit here? And wait?" Cyborg shook his head, feigning exasperation, "I keep forgetting Raven; you're as much a foreigner as Star. Fishing is all about the experience, like hunting." Raven stared blankly at her teammate.

Rolling his eye Cyborg motioned to Beast Boy, "Take our little grass stain here," The green teen still had barely moved, and Raven could see the hair on his neck was erect. "It's all about the focus, the calm of the predator…"

Her eyes travelled from Cyborg's hands to the changeling's face, and she noticed his eyes were dilated, much like a cat's. His mouth was a thin line, tooth tucked in. It was the most serious she had seen him in months, and she wondered if they did this often. She didn't get the appeal, but with the focus he was exhibiting…SNAP!

Raven jumped, trying to make sense of what had happened. Beast Boy had a fish in his hand and a prideful smirk on his face. Cyborg laughed uproariously, pointing at Raven. "And that is how you catch a fish Rae," Beast Boy kissed the wiggling creature and tossed it back into the bay, adding with a frown to his massive team mate, "humanely anyway,"

"Hey, I got the no-pierce hooks. Not everyone is part cat," Cyborg handed the tackle box to Beast Boy, who took another synthetic worm. He looked back at Raven and laughed when he saw she still hadn't recovered. "Sorry about that Raven, I couldn't resist."

"Yeah, you should see your face," Beast Boy tossed a piece of bait into the air and caught it in his mouth. Chewing while speaking, the green boy taunted her "bet you didn't think I could move that fast eh?"

Raven rolled her eyes, "No, I didn't." Beast Boy grinned, until he realized the insult present in her statement, and he pouted.

"To be honest Raven, we usually just talk when we fish." Cyborg reeled in a fish of his own, weighed it on the scale built into his knee, and then threw it back. Beast Boy read the number and whistled, "Nice! Anyways, we listen to music, tell stories, brag about chicks…guy stuff."

Cyborg snickered, "Well, I do. He just kind sits there jealously." A green tongue wiggled at the big man.

Great, Raven thought sarcastically, a heart-to-heart; so much better than a movie. "I so too get dates! Just, not that you know about…"

"Sure grass stain, but Silkie doesn't count right?"

"What? Of course not, that was just a joke!"

"Oh it was? I can still hear Star, screaming about her Bumgorf's innocence…"

"Oh yeah? What about that time you took Star out to a friendly dinner? Robin just about blew his top!"

"I went on a date with a guy who thought Hogwarts was real."

"Ha, seriously? That's…" Beast Boy stopped in mid sentence and stared at Raven.

Cyborg chuckled, "that's right, the Goth, Sid or something. He went all Frankenstein on kid's toys," Raven nodded, the biggest smile she was capable of on her face, "When he showed me the ones of us I kind of backed off."

"Whoa!" Beast Boy raised his hands, "hold on, you've been on a date?" he turned to Cyborg, "and you knew?"

"Well yeah, I covered for her." To say the changeling was surprised was an understatement. Incredulously he looked from Cyborg to Raven and back, mouth moving like a fish out of water.

"I'm glad you think so highly of me," Raven eventually deadpanned, and Beast Boy coughed, covering a blush, "Well, it's not that, I just, I mean, you never…" Raven had a stoic expression, waiting for the inevitable apology. Her friends were nothing if not predictable.

Fate however had different plans, and as Beast Boy bit his tongue and prepared his plea for forgiveness, the ship shook violently. Raven, her rod already only loosely held, dropped the tool into the water, and all eyes looked about questioningly.

"There is something alive in here…" Beast Boy muttered, and spotted a swelling in the water to their right. "Dude, no way!" Out of the water rose a behemoth that can only be described as Godzilla like in appearance. Actually, it was Godzilla in appearance, an exact replica of the suit used in Godzilla 2000. Full sized, of course.

Once it stood completely a panel opened in its chest, and thrilling music began to play from unseen speakers. "We're gonna need a bigger boat," Cyborg muttered as a silhouette appeared, sliding out on a panel from the creature's chest. The wide and rotund physique was enough to identify him, the zit covered unshaven face only heightened their readiness. Uni-brow furrowed in wicked glee, the king of geeks laughed maniacally.

"Greeting Titans! Your doom is at hand!" Control Freak struck a pose meant to be threatening, but the white of his gut poking out from his shirt only made it sad.

Raven groaned, "Seriously?" Beast Boy meanwhile had a pensive expression, suddenly broken by a devious smile. This was gonna be good.
