I dont own Teen Titans or anything else... except Primal
Raven was sitting on the couch in the common room, book in hand. Cyborg was the only other titan awake in the oddly shaped home and he was presently up making breakfast. Today was Beast boys birthday and Raven was the only one who hadnt gotten the shapeshifter a present yet. In fact, She and Cyborg were discussing the matter at that very moment. "Come on Rae, just get the grass stain a video game. It dont take much to get him excited. Just buy em a block of that tofu stuff." Cyborg said waving his spatula for emphasis.
"Tofu?" She asked sarcastically. "Each of you all bought him a video game." She said in her usual monotone not even bothering to look away from her book.
"See! we all thought of it so ya'know its gottah be a good idea!" He said overdramatically, grin threatening to take over his entire head.
"Oh really." She said, even more sarcasm dripping from the words. "Remember MY last birthday? Or the one before that when I turned sixteen and Trigon took over? Yeah, a few weeks ago for my birthday you all decided to make my birthday good for once... you, Robin, and Starfire all got me a book. The SAME book. The same book that I already had two copies of."
"Yeah..." The mechanical teen said with a sweat drop froming on his head.
"I was glad you all cared, but just because you all have the same idea doesnt mean it's a good one. AND the cake blew up."
"Star made it not me!" He said waving his arms in defense.
"But then Beast boy managed to make my birthdat great... he got me the neclace.
"Yeah... thing HAD to have been expensive."
"Yeah, it was." She said smiling for a second as she lifted up a black chain with four diamonds on either side of an amythyst raven that hung in the middle. "Not only do I want to thank him with a good presnt. I just... want to give him something more personal."
"A kiss would be personal." Cyborg mummbled.
"What?"
"Happy birthday BEAST BOY!" The green teen yelled as he burst through the doors. The two turned to greet him and he smiled broader.
"Happy B-day B!" Cyborg gladly yelled back.
"Happy Birthday Beast boy." Raven greeted regularly.
"So... where are my presents? Guys get me anything good?"
"No." Raven said simply and watched as he deflated. The third party grumbled to himself as he walked to the kitchen and made himself a tofu sandwhich.
'We hurt his feelings...' Timid said sadly.
'What?' Raven asked in her mind. 'He knows I was joking.'
'But... you really didnt get him a good present.' Happy giggled.
'You did'nt get him a present at all.' Rude said. 'Even I would've gotten him SOMETHING.'
'Like what? A dictionary for all those big fancy words they use on Spongebob?' Anger grinned causing laughter to erupt from Happy and Rude.
'Raven, why not just ask him what he wants?' Happy suggested.
'Thats not a bad idea.' Knowledge agreed. 'Wisdom?'
'Asking Garfield for advice would settle the problem of deciding what to get him.'
'What? You can't just ASK him what he wants! Especially now that its already his birthday!'
'Affection is right.' Raven decided. 'If I ask it won't be special and hell know that we havent gotten him anything yet.'
"Raven? Helllloooo, Raven? You there?" Beast boy's voice called, waking Raven from her thoughts.
"What!" She snapped.
"Uh.. just wondering if you were okay... you were out of it for a while there." Her friend said rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry."
"No, Beast boy. Im sorry." Raven let out a sigh. "Im just thinking." Beast boy nodded and went up to his room.
"So... what are you gonna get 'em?" Cyborg asked. Ravens brow twitched.
"You have'nt gotten him anything yet?" Robin asked as he entered the room with Starfire by his side.
"WHAT? Are you not going to celebrate this wonderous day of friend Beast boys birth?" Starfire asked with tears coming to her eyes.
"Of course I am Starfire. I just don't know what to get him as of yet."
"Try a video game." Robin said evenly. "I got him Mutant Zombies 4."
"I got the Grass-stain Mega Monkeys 6." Cyborg grinned. "And it's not even out yet."
"I have gotten friend Beast boy the Galaxy Racers 2!" Starifre burst exstatically, and maybe a bit too loudly.
"Galaxy Racers 2!" Came Beast boy's cheerful call from up in his room. "Thats awesome!" Starfire sweat dropped. "I guess I still have the shopping to do as well." Her look of dissapointment changed to a look of joy as her eyes shined. "Oh friend Raven, please let us go to the glorious mall of shopping toether."
"Uh... sure Starifre... Okay." Raven and Starfire left the tower and two grinning TItans.
"How many times have you played that game already Cyborg?"
"At least 30 just last week." The half machine teen laughed. "Hes gonna hate having to beat my high score."
"I cannot beleave that you did not find anything friend Raven. We have searched the mall numerous times already."
"Im sorry Star, I just want to get him something special." Raven apologized.
"Oh, I am not mad, Friend Raven. I just wish to inform you that we have been gone three hours and that we need to be home soon."
"Oh." Raven nodded and the two left the mall.
"Friend Raven? May I ask you a question?" Raven looked at her alien friend and nodded. "Do you, have feelings for Friend Beast boy? Emotions like what I feel for boyfriend Robin?" Raven blushed and it was noticed since her hood was down. "Oh how joyous!"
"Wait, Star-" She was enterupted by an excited Tamaranian princess continuing on.
"Will you and Beast boy now be doing the 'going out'? And will you-
"Star!" Raven growled. "I didnt say I liked him."
"But, your face... you blushed."
"I blushed because you surprised me with that ludhachris statement."
"Then, why is finding Friend Beast boy something special for his birthday so important?"
"Because, I want to repay him for my birthday."
"But that does n-"
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Raven took out her communicator and Robins face appeared. "Get to the tower! Now!" Raven nodded and switched the communicator off. Her and Starfire shot off in the direction of the tower
When they got to Titans Tower there was loud smashing noises and a wall was knocked down as Cyborg was flung through. "What is happening!" Starfire asked her teamate.
"Its Johnny Rancid, hes teamed up with plasmus." Starfire and Raven made a bored face that seemed to say 'Uhhhh, AND?' "Oh just come on." Cyborg grumbled getting up and charging back in. As the two female titans flew into their home they were hit with a blast of re energy and then mounted to the wall by spludgey goo, courtesy of their current opponents. They struggled but were unable to break free.
Suddenly Beast boy was blasted backwards, hitting the goo and getting stuck. "Oooow, Dude! That hurt!" Beast boy struggled with all his might!... and did absolutly nothing. Plasmus slammed its large, globular hand against the only two titans un-stuck and Johnny Rancid reved up his motorcycle, shooting out to energy blasts that slammed Cyborg and Robin into the goo to join the rest of their friends.
"...This is pathetic." Raven groaned.
"Pathetic! You were all vicous to stand against Johnny Rancid! Even if you only lasted ten seconds." The villian smirked and the large slimy beast laughed. Johnny Rancid walked up to the dark girl and put a hand under her chin, tilting her head up. "What do you say you quit these losers and play with a rea-"
" hand. OFF of her." Beast boy snarled, causing his teamtes to look at him in bewilderment. Johnny lifted a brow for a second before laughing insanly.
"Or?" He asked cockily. Beast boy only stared at him with cold eyes. "I was just gonna give her a little kiss." He said feighning innocense. Beast boy's growling began to get louder and Raven snarled. "If it makes you mad I could go a little farther." The man snickered. This threat pushed the green teen farther than he had ever been pushed before. At that moment he no longer cared about stopping the destruction of his home. The only thing that mattered was making the evil being who would dare say those words suffer.
"ARRAHHHH!" Beast boy screamed in anger as he slowly changed into the Beast, growing claws, fur, and a monstrous set of teeth. The Beasts release ripped through the goo just by forming and Johnny Rancid was instantly slammed into the wall on the other side of the tower. The thug's partner then threw its massive arms at the beast and was rewarded with him appearing beihnd it. The Beast breathed gruffly and howled as it sliced the thing straight in half. Before Plasmus even fell to the ground Johnny was thrown through the wall landing in the ocean, where he was instantly tackled out of by an out of control, raging Beast boy.
Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, and Robin all stared wide eyes, mouths agape. "B-beast boy?" Raven wondered in concern.
"Titans! Weve got to stop him!" Robin called. The titans nodded and Starfire shot her starbeams at the goo and fried it, while practically burning the others to a crisp. "Eep!" Starfire made sure everyone was okay and they all charged in to stop Beast boy from killing the criminal. Rancid lay on the ground in excrutiating pain, bones shattered, body bruised, skin torn. And Beast boy, the man,, err, Beast, who did it, standing above him with cold, unmerciful eyes.
"Beast boy stop!" Robin yelled. The green beast looked up and snarled.
"Beast boy, if you kill him, we'll have to put you in jail." Raven negotiated.
"Yeah man, you dont wanna do this." Cyborg advised carefully. The beast looked at them all and it's eyes saddened. It slowly changed back into the comic releaf and was then shot from behind by an angry, though still very much broken, Johny Rancid.
"Hahahah! Take that titans." He cackled.
"How in the mother of mercy are you still concious!" Cyborg asked incrediously.
"Im not stupid. I knew it'd be dangerous comin here. So I had whip my upa special serum that-" He was suddenly blasted unconscious by a very pissed-off Raven.
"We dont care." She hissed.
Beast boy awoke in the sick bay the next night with a groan. "Ugh, what happened?" He asked in pain. Ravens glowing hands then gently laid over his head and began healing his pain. She took them back and Beast boy grinned. "Thanks Rae."
"Do you remember what happened?" She asked.
"Uh... I fought Johnny Rancid... right? And Plasmus... then.. " Beast boy's eyes darkened. "Where is he?"
"Johnny Rancid is in the ER. He'll be there a while... if hes lucky."
"So... I didnt kill him?"
"No, you killed him, hospitals just love to stick dead people in the emergency room for long periods of time." She said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. Beast boy nodded. "The real lucky one is Plasmus. He was ripped in half but his realy body wasnt hit."
"That's good." Raven nodded.
"Y'know, you missed your birthday yesterday."
"What! Oh man! That is so not fa-" He was cut off by Raven's lips on his. A She pulled away with a blush. He sat, eyes closed, and a humongous grin spread across his face.
"Uh... happy birthday." Beast boy opened his eyes and grinned even wider.
"So..." Beast boy asked scratching the back of his neck. "Does... this mean you like me?" Raven rolled her eyes.
"No, I just go around kissing people on their birthdays. Stars birthday was great last year." She said sarcastically. She saw Beast boy's wide, panick filled eyes and sighed. "It was a joke Beast boy. Yes I like you." BEast boy sighed in releaf.
"Thank God. Soooo, do I get another kiss?"
"Sorry only one per birthday."
"Aw! Come on Rae!" He whined. "At least go out with me on a date." Raven pretened to think about it for a few moments, torturing him.
"Welll, I GUESS I could." She said with a small smile. Beast boys eyes shone and he gave her a kiss.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAST BOY!" The other titans yelled as they walked in with presents, and a cake in Cyborgs hands.
"HAH! I told you!" Cyborg boasted loudly. Starfire had only just shut up about their 'glorious new relationship' and let up on her unrelenting death hugs when Cyborg couldnt hold his excitement anymore. "It took no longer than five years! Wheres my money!"
"Eeer." Robin grumbled as he pulled out a twenty and handed it to the robotic teen.
"Whats going on?" Beast boy asked.
"You bet on whether wed get together or not?" Raven snarled.
"No, we bet on WHEN youd get together. There was no 'if'." Cyborg said putting his money in a compartment that popped out of his chest.
"..." Raven then smiled maliciously. Her eyes glowed white and the money flew out of Cyborgs compartment and then flew out the window.
"Ahhhh! My money!" Cyborg yelled as he jumped after it.
"Dude... it was only twenty dollars.." Beast boy laughed.
