Symbiosis - Chapter 7: Parasitic Planning

Raven soon returned with Beast Boy, the Symbiote still peeled back revealing his face.

The team was relieved that they returned, "We've got to get you back to the tower, we'll handle the cops." Cyborg spoke up.

Robin nodded, "Raven, teleport Beast Boy and yourself back home, we'll talk to the chief of police." Raven nodded, and started to concentrate her powers.

Then she and Beast Boy were teleported back to the tower, arriving in the common room.

Raven spoke, "Now we should-" Beast Boy interrupted her.

"Go to the lab? Yeah, I know." Raven raised an eyebrow.

"I was going to say wait for the team to come back, I'm no good with lab equipment."

Beast Boy chuckled nervously, "Heh, sorry." Raven sighed.

"It's fine, I don't blame you, I don't need to use my powers to know you're on edge." Beast Boy rubbed the back of his neck, careful not to injure himself with his Symbiote claws.

"Is it that obvious?" Raven nodded.

Back with the team, Robin was speaking with the chief of police, still.

"Sir, with all due respect, we had it under control." Robin spoke.

The chief scoffed, as he gestured to the destruction around them, "That's what you call 'under control'?" Robin frowned.

"You ordered to fire at him when he was raising his hands in surrender, Sir."

The chief never seemed to stop frowning, "He was attacking, It's called doing what's necessary , I thought you'd know about that by now. First one of your team members leads aliens to the planet, then one turns into a werewolf, then another almost ended the world." Robin kept his gaze strong.

"Sir, I have you know, we stopped that invasion, that led to the team forming, that 'werewolf' is cured until further notice, and the one who ended the world actually saved it." Before the chief could retort Robin spoke again as he started walking away.

"To top it all off, they're my friends, family even. I'd expect you to understand that."

The chief's expression softened slightly, "That thing, it's the green guy isn't it? I didn't see him with you guys." Robin stopped just short of his bike, Cyborg and Starfire in the T-Car waiting.

"Yes, it's our obligation to help him, and I assure you we will, he is not going to prison."

He got on his bike and sighed, "Especially when he helped put criminals in there." He put his helmet on and rode off back to the tower, the T-Car following.

The chief watched them drive away, "This city is so weird…"

The team got to the tower and entered the common room and smirked at what they saw, Beast Boy was fast asleep, morphed into a cat, sitting on Raven's lap.

Raven shot them glares, "Not. A. Word…" Her glare focused on Cyborg, "No photos, either." She only just noticed that the scene wasn't the only reason they were smirking.

She only just noticed that she had been stroking the cat's head the whole time without noticing it, she stopped and slowly took her hand off to place her hood over her head, hiding the oncoming blush.

"Cute." Robin smirked. Raven shot him a glare.

"I said not a word…" She warned.

"This is what those on Earth call adorable, yes?" Starfire smiled, asking Robin.

"Zip it…" Raven warned again, returning her gaze to Beast Boy, her expression softening.

"You'll wake him…"

Cyborg groaned, "Are you sure I can't take a photo?"

Beast Boy's eyes shot open and he jumped from where he was morphing back as he did so, he looked terrified before he saw the team staring at him in shock.

Raven sighed, "I told you you'd wake him…"

Beast Boy spoke up, "No, I'm glad you guys did, every time I sleep, I see Talon and Beast fighting and dragging me into it." If he didn't have their attention before he did now, "We need to de-bond this thing before Beast and Talon tear me in half for sharing…" He shuttered.
