AN: Before we get started, I just wanted to thank the person who left the guest comment with the constructive criticism. I really appreciated seeing that. I don't know if the original poster is reading this, but I just wanted to say that thank you. You brought up some good points, and inspired me to be better. If you have any other pointers throughout this story, I would love to hear them.

Anyway, onto chapter 15.

Chapter 15 Seeing Green

Shivers ran up and down Beast Boy's arms, although whether it was because of excitement or nervousness, he couldn't say. There was just something so…unreal about this experience. As he stared into the eyes of his interdimensional double, his mind went right over to the thought experiment that he had been toying around with. There actually, legitimately were other versions of the Titans. They were real, they were here, and they were breathing. This excited Beast Boy.

It also made him a little nervous. He remembered when Raven told him about the dream she had, where the other Titans didn't like them. That possibility made his stomach churn. Sure, this version of him gave his a friendly gaze, but that was only because they had just been introduced. It was possible, maybe even probable, that these Titans would develop some negative emotions towards them once they got to know each other.

With this thought in mind, his stomach churned. It got to the point where he felt nauseous. He put his hand to his mouth. If he wasn't green already, his face would probably be turning that color right now.

"Hey dude?"

Beast Boy felt so sick that he couldn't even respond to his double. He held back a belch as Beast Boy walked up to him.

"Are you alright?" Beast Boy placed his hand on his shoulder. "You look queasy."

Beast Boy swallowed the vomit accumulating in his mouth. "I…" he cleared his throat. "I be fine dude."

Beast Boy raised an eyebrow. Beast Boy was sure…no, certain that that was because he was judging him. However, those worries went away when his double opened his mouth.

"That's some weird grammar."

Beast Boy blinked before he managed to chuckle. He was worried about his grammar? Pfft. That was no big deal! He could deal with someone criticizing his grammar! It was much better than someone judging his character.

"I just be speaking in the uniques way!" Beast Boy said, his mouth curving into a grin. He even went so far as to puff out his chest. "It be setting me apart!"

Beast Boy blinked before nodding. "Okay. Well, I guess there's nothing wrong with that." He chuckled. "You're probably going to give several English majors heart attacks, though."

"Going to?" Beast Boy snickered. "Dude, I already be giving those peeps heart attacks. I'm practically a supervillain in training!"

Beast Boy laughed, the sound playful and happy. "I guess that means my defeating you in the ring is necessary."

Beast Boy blinked. "Necessary?"

"Oh. I mean, uh…needed. That's what I mean, needed."

Beast Boy nodded. The uncomfortable feeling that rested in his stomach was now gone (at least, for the most part). He looked up into his double's sparkling green eyes, now wanting to ask him as many questions as the five minutes would allow.

"Sos," he said. "Can you turn into animals, man?"

Beast Boy chuckled. "Well, if I couldn't, the name 'Beast Boy' would be a really weird name for me."

Beast Boy snickered before holding his stomach as he laughed. "Dude! You be funny!"

Beast Boy gasped. His eyes grew wide, the sparkle and shine in them making the stars look dull.

"You…" a smile grew on his face. "You think I'm funny?!" He grinned. "Dude! You just made my day!"

"I dids?" A feeling of pride welled up in Beast Boy. "Nobody has ever tolds me that before!" Confusion took hold of him. "Wait, do the other Titans on your team not think you're funny?"

Beast Boy made a "so-so" gesture with his hands. "Eh…" his face fell. "Well, they never really laughed at my jokes before."

Beast Boy blinked. "Not even Raven?"

"Oh, Raven is by far the worst contender. She says that I am the least funny person she ever met!"

"Oof. Harsh."

"Yeah, just a little bit." Beast Boy shrugged. "But then again, Raven isn't really the kind of person who finds enjoyment in fun activities. Which…makes sense." His eyes grew sad. "She's been through a lot. Much more than I will ever go through."

Beast Boy's heart melted. This version of him cared about his Raven. While that was a trait that he believed every version of him should be required to have, it still felt nice to see him keeping her in mind and expressing empathy (or at least sympathy) towards her.

"Yeah. Raven be complicated."

"Truer words have never been spoken," Beast Boy said with the faintest traces of a smile. "But I know she has a sense of humor. She might repress it, but she definitely has one. And I'm not gonna rest with my jokes until I finally get a smile out of her."

Beast Boy whooped. "Yeah boy! You sound like the perfect man for her!"

"Perfect man?" Beast Boy snorted. "Oh please. You're exaggerating."

"Ex…aggerating?"

Beast Boy sighed. "It means you're making things a bigger deal than they already are."

"Oh." Beast Boy thought about this before shrugging. "That be trues, but you still sounds like you at least be the good friend."

Beast Boy smiled. "Thanks." Curiosity filled his expression. "Say, what's the deal with you and your Raven?"

"Oh." Beast Boy laughed. "Well, you see, my Raven and me…"

"Titans, to your positions!" The Master of Games called out from the arena.

The shoulders and faces of both Beast Boys fell. "Oh man," Beast Boy said. "Sports officials always ruin everything."

"Yeah." Beast Boy smiled. "But that's okay; I'm sure the fight will still be a lot of fun." He walked toward the door. "I look forward to seeing what kind of animals you'll turn into."

Beast Boy's face rose back up. "Me too!" He cackled as he ran toward the exit. "This fight is gonna be the bomb!" He grinned at his double. "May the best Beast Boy win."

"Oh I plan to." Beast Boy chortled. "In all seriousness, I wish you the best out there."
