Chapter Two: Dictator Raven

"Hey man, watch it!"

Beast Boy snickered as his body jerked to the left, his thumbs punching the buttons on the controller rapidly. Cyborg punched buttons just as rapidly, growling under is breath as he watched the screen of the large tv, trying to concentrate. His eyes went wide as he saw a giant wing coming straight for him, slapping him in the face and blocking his vision.

"Man, get that thing out of my face!" he yelled in anger, pushing the wing away from him, controller still in hand. He coughed slighlty as he spit a few feathers out, glaring at Beast Boy again.

"Beast Boy! You're doing that on purpose!" he growled.

Beast Boy ignored him, laughing with victory as his character delivered the final punch, sending Cybore's character crashing to the ground.

"You Win..."

"Oh yeah, oh yeat's t's my birthday! It's my birthday! Go Beast Boy! Go Beast Boy!" he cheered, jumping up from the couch and doing a victory dance, the Game Station controller in his mouth.

"You cheated!" Cyborg complained. "You kept poppin your wing in my face!"

"Dude, I can't help that," Beast Boy tried to reply with innocence but failed miserbly, as he was still smirking. "You know they have this spontanouse, spreading out, popping thing I can't control--"

"You're a spontanouse popping thing!" Cyborg shot back in anger.

"Now friend Cybore," Starfire replied, coming up behindm anm and leaning on the back of the couch, her head right between the two. "One can not be angered by defeat. One must gather their clorvige and try again."

Both titans stared at her.

"Clov-ee-whata Star?" Beast Boy asked.

"Clorvige!" she said with excitement. "That means "courage" on my planet."

Both Titans shook their head slowly, glancing at each other out the corner of their eye. "We really got start writing those down," Beast Boy whispered. Cyborg nodded in agreement. "So what do you say Cy? Rematch?"

Cyborg glared at him. "Heck no I'm not playin with you anymore!"

"Why not?"

"Because I'm not tryin to choke on anymore of your feathers!" he shouted back.

"Game over anyway," Robin stated as he walked up to them, holding clothing with a pair of gloves on top of them in his hands. He handed them to Beast Boy, just as Raven walked up on the other side of Starfire, her face emotionless as usual, her hood up.

"Cool, my new duds," Beast cried with a smile, slipping the gloves on first.

Robin nodded. "All fire resistant, so you won't be able to burn a hole through any of your clothing, or anything else for that matter. Go ahead and get changed, we have to get you started on your training."

"Aw now?" Beast Boy whined.

"Yes, now," Cyborg insisted, standing up and snatching the controller out of Beast Boy's hand, giving it to Robin. He flipped over the couch and landed beside him, already picking his fighter for the game. "Go. Bye."

"But...I haven't burned anything recently!" Beast Boy insisted.

"That is," Robin began. "If you don't count bathroom rug, the stove, two controllers to the Game Station, Starfire's...thing..."

"I miss that Glorp," Starfire sighed with a hint of sadness.

"...the shower curtain, Raven's cape, the rest of the couch---"

"ALRIGHT, I get it!" Beast Boy shouted annoyed. He hunched. "But with these, I can't burn anything!"

"Actually, you can," Robin insisted. "Even though you can't touch anything and burn it anymore, you can still accidently burn things just by using you're powers."

"LIke my hair," Cyborg stated as he delivered a punch to the face to Robin's character.

"You don't HAVE any hair Cyborg," Beast Boy said glaring at him.

"Yeah, and now I never will, thanks to you," Cyborged ied in a matter of fact tone.

Beast Boy glared at him. "But how am I suppose to train when Robin's playing games with you?"

"Not training you," Robin stated, trying to contrate on defeating Cyborg. "Raven is."

Beast Boy gulped as he finally turned his attention to the pale youth standing by Starfire, her violet eyes watching the tv screen with distaste.

"...Raven?"

"Yes Raven," Robin replied matter of factly, growling as Cyborg's character used a special move to blast him across the screen.

"Booya!" he shouted with a smile.
Why Why Raven?" Beast Boy asked, still staring at her with unsure eyes. She finally turned her attention to him.

"Because I am the one best fit to teach you the basics of controlling your powers under these circumstanceshe she stated in her usual irrated voice. Beast Boy was sure she reserved it just for him.

"...I knew that," Beast Boy smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.

st tst then, Robin threw his controller down on the floor and folding his arms over his chest, snorting in anger. Cyborg gave him a toothy grin. "Aw, what's the matter? Little Robby upset that big mean Cyborg beat his butt?"

"I let you win," Robin insisted, still glaring at the tv in anger as he watched Cyborg's character do his finishing move, which intelled a female pulling down her mask and sucking in Robin's character completely, spitting back out the bones and bowing afterwards with her cyces as her side.

"Suuure you did, that's why you threw you're controller down," Cyborg teased.

"May I combat on your games of video?" Starfire asked as she leaned further over the head of the couch, and picked up Robin's controller. She gave both Titans a huge grin as she held up the controller in antipation.

Cyborg nodded, still smiling. "Sure Star, the more victiums, the more fun."

"I am a "victium"?" Starfire asked in confusion as she studied the controller, then the character's on the screen, deciding on who she should choose.

"Yeah...once he cheats," Robin grumbled.

"I thought you said you 'let' me win," Cyborg reminded him.

"I let you win, then you cheated," Robin corrected him, still grumbling.

Raven sighed and turned around, hoovering toward the steps that led to the docking balcony. "We're going to the roof...less...crowded. Come on."

Beast wasnwasn't paying attention, watching as Starfire choose the character named 'Scorpion', mumbling something about 'interesting game person'.

"Beast Boy!"

"Coming!"

~*~*~*~*~*~

Beast Boy followed Raven to the top of Titans Tower as they walked to the far left end, all the way to the edge. She sat down and crossed her legs indian style, closing her eyes and breathing softly.

Beast Boy continue to stand behind her, watching her curiously.

"Sit down."

Beast Boy blinked back into reality and hurried to sit beside her, his long hair trailing behind him. He put the sole of his shoes flat against each other as he set his hands in lap, his arms resting on his knees.

"We will begin with meditation." she stated, opening her left eye to stare at him. "Before I will be able to teach you anything, you will have to be serious, clearing your mind of all nonsense and concentrate on the tasks and goals that have been set for you, meaning, this could take a while."

Beast Boy gave her a side glance at her comment, but nodded.

Raven hoovered herself a few inches off the ground, putting her hands up and pressing the tips of her thumb and her middle fingers together. She closed her eye again and took in a long, soothing breath. Beast Boy followed her explain, flapping his wings slightly so that he could hoover with her.

Raven left out an annoyed growl as the tip of his wing continued to smack her in the face with each face. "Meditate on the ground or at least get away from ME..."

Beast Boy stopped flapping immediately, landing on his butt and tipping over on to his back. "Ow..."

Raven sighed. "This IS going to take a while..."

*~*~*~*~*~

"No way...NO WAY!"

Robin shook his head with a sympathdic look on his face, watching the battle that was ensuing on the tv screen.

"How...is...she...whoopin us!?" Cyborg shouted, standing to his feet as if to push his character on to win the hopelessly already won match. The screen flashed red as the words 'Finish Him' appeared. He watched, mouth wide open in shock, as Scorpion ripped off his mask, reviling a skull as his face for the fifth time that night. Blowing fire, he burned Cyborg's character to an ashy corpse.

"I am victorious once again!" Starfire shouted cheerfully, jumping to her feet and pumping her fist in the air, the controller clutched in her left hand.

"Man," Cyborg shook his head, looking at his feet with a heavy sigh. Then he held out his controller to Robin, not bothering to look up. "You're turn."

"Yes friend Robin, allow me to 'whoop' on you once more so that I may be victorious again," Starfire stated as she sat down, flashing a happy smile his way.

"Not this time Star," Robin insisted, picking another character called Sub-Zero. "This time, you're going down."

"That's what you said last time, " Cyborg reminded him.

Robin hunched. "It's bound to happen sometime."

As they continued, neither of them bothered to looked up as two other figures entered the room, one whom walked over to the couch and plopped down in exhastion, his arms careful to land on his lap, as he had yet to change into the suit Robin had given him.

Robin gave Beast Boy a quick side glance, still punching buttons into his conler.ler. "What happened to you?"

Beast Boy let a an angry snort, resting his elbow on his knee and holding up his head, his face twisted in irration as his hair seemed to be all over the e. Ce. Cybore looked over at him and noticed had four identical bumps on the side of his forehead. He saw Raven out of the corner of his eye, also sit on the couch beside him, her hood down now, with a look of pure annonance on her face.

"Meditation," he grumbled.

"Beast Boy decided that it would be 'fun' to talk," she explained in a steady voice, still glaring at Beast Boy.

"Hmm, tuff break," Cyborg hunchedBut But at least you're wings are gone."

Robin and Starfire both looked over to see that Beast Boy's beautiful set of snow white wings were in fact, missing. Starfire gasped in alarm, dropping the controller.

"What has happened to them?" she questioned, floating behind the couch and poking him softly in the back where they used to be. "Surely they did not simply vanish?"

"You didn't snatch them off, did you?" Robin asked Raven with slight worry.

Raven shook her head. "Though it did cross my mind. No. Beast Boy did that on his own. I think it was out of surprise when I hit him with the first pebble..."

"Pebble?" Beast Boy shouted in disbelief. "No, this," he held up a very small rock between his index finger and thumb. "This is a pebble. But you? You hit me with this!"

The other Titans sweat dropped as Beast Boy held up a rock that fit securily in his fist.

Raven hunched. "That looks like a 'pebble' to me."

"In any case, you marogrrogress", Cyborg teased, grinning at him. "Now I can put all the pictures and junk back up on the walls,"

Beast Boy glared at him.

"Not funny dude."

"I don't know, I thought it was kinda funny," Robin joked, watching Starfire with a raised eyebow as she continued to poke at Beast Boy's back, lifting his long hair out of the way so she could get a better look.

"You're all in this together, aren't you?" Beast Boy accussed them, glaring at each Titan with doe eyes.

"That's right Beast Boy, it's all just one big, coracyracy against you just so we can get a quick laugh," Raven stated sarcastically.

"I was not aware we were all suppose to conspire against friend Beast Boy," Starfire stated, slightly confused.

"She's joking Star," Robin told her.

"In any case, you're done with your training for the night. Go to bed. We'll begin earily tomorrow morning. And make sure you were the suit Robin gave you...as it's not there just to make you look 'pretty'," Raven replied sarcastically, pulling out a thick book and opening it to a marked page.

"Yes Miss Dictator Raven," Beast Boy grumbled, getting up from the couch and leaving the room. Raven raised an eyebrow at him, frowning slightly, then rolled hyes yes and began to read.

"Dictator?" Starfire repeated slowly, looking questioningly at Robin.

"A person that rules with absolute power," Robin answered.

"Oh," Starfire nodded, thinking to herself for a moment. "But then, would that not make you, the dictator friend Robin?"

"Um...there's sort of a difference Star," Robin stated. Starfire stared blankly at him with confusion. "But...are you not the leader?"

"Well...yeah...but I'm not a dictator," Robin explained.

"Oh...so then Raven is our dictator and you are our leader?" Starfire said with a large smile, hope that she understood.

"No, Raven isn't a dictator Star. Beast Boy just called her one because he's pouting."

"Oh! I see! He was just making a Kanka and being a Florginazorp!" she said relieved.

Cyborg and Robin stared at her with blank expressions.

"What she say?"

"Don't ask..."

~*~*~*~*~*~

Beast Boy cried out as he was awaken by a dark, clawed hand, that grabbing him around the waist and yanking him through the ceiling. It dragged him up many rooms until he found himself on top of the roof. He yelped as the force dropped him, and pulled away from him, vanishing back into Raven's cloak. The titan had her hood down, the usual emotionless expression on her face as her violet eyes fell on Beast Boy's form. She noticed his wings were not present and frowned slighlty.

"Good morning Beast Boy," she stated.

He looked up at her, with what would have been an annoyed glare but his long bangs had fallen over his face, hiding it completely except his long, pointed ears. He got to his feet, strecthing his arms and his wings with a loud yawn.

"...What time is it?"

"Three in morning."

"Then WHY am I awake?" he demanded.

"I told you to go to sleep," she reminded him. "It's not my fault you chose to listen to you're cds all night."

Beast Boy nodded drowsly, his hunter green hair falling over his shoulders. What she said WAS true...

"But why..." he paused. "Am I awake NOW?"
avenaven narrowed her eyes and scowled at him. "To meditate before we begin."

"Can't I meditate in my own bed?" he yawned. His question was answered with a 'pebble' hitting him in the back of the head.

"Now shut up and begin. You have a long day ahead of you and there's no telling if it will get inturrpted by an emergancy."

Beast Boy nodded and taking his position on the ledge beside Raven, began to meditate with her, his arms resting in his lap. Raven watched for for a second, realizing that his arms were burning a through the sleeves and the material of his pants and frowned.

"Why aren't you wearing the outfit Robin gave you?"

"Because you dragged me out of bed...and I don't wear my uniform to sleep," he replied matter of factly.

She narrowed her eyes "Then how were you able to sleep? You bed should have caught on fire."

Beast Boy rolled his eyes through his head. "How am I suppose to know? I was fine until you dragged me out of bed."

Raven stared at him a few moments longer then closed her eyes, hoovering inches off the ground. "Meditate."

After an half an hour had passed, Raven had to admit that she was surprised: he had managed not to say a word the whole time. She opened one eye to look at him and sweat dropped. His head was hung back, his mouth wide open as he snored, drool making a trail down his face out of the corner of his mouth. Growling under her breath softly, she concentrated her power on lifting him around the waist and careful not to wake him, levitated him over the ledge and released her hold, watching him drop to the nd bnd below.

It didn't take long for her to hear a surprised cry laced with fear. She continued to watch carefully however, raising her hand in the air just in case she had to catch him, but was pleased to see his wings sprout out from his back and gracefully spread out into the darkened sky with a few loose feathers floating in their wake through the air, drifting down to Earth as they caught the air. After a fewong ong flaps, he flew all the way back up the top of the tower, floating in the air just inches above Raven, who was now standing on the ledge. She could see that through his hair, he was glaring at her with scowl, his pink eyes glowing slightly with anger.

"What was that for!"exclexclaimed.

She said nothing, watching as a lone feather from his wings floated away from him and through the air, landing softly on her shoulder. She didn't make a move to remove it, but only continued to stare at him.

Grumbling under his breath, Beast Boy retracted his wings, his skin seeming to swallhem hem up as they skunk back into his body, leaving two small bumps in its wake. He walked a few steps over to Raven, taking his fingers and pulling his long bangs out of his face and to his sides, his expression still one of anger.

"Well?"

"Very good," was all she said.

Beast Boy sweat dropped, looking at her as if she she had grown a third eye. "Um...what?"

"Very good," she stated again, letting a very small, almost trasparent smile cross her lips. "You were able to not only take out your wings without effort but you were able to it in the face of danger, quickly, and save yourself. But more importantly, you were able to retracted them without a problem."

"But...I did that yesturday."

"Yes...but if you remember, you couldn't bring them back out again unless I hit you with a rock," she pointed out. "This means that you are learning how and wyou you need to bring out your wings without someone having to knock you over the head in order for you to do it. Go ahead. Try it again. Bring your wings back out."

Beast Boy stared at her for a moment, then taking in a deep breath, tried again, concentrating slightly. The wings erupted from his skin again, unfoiling and spreading out proudly in the sky, a few more lone feathers drifting in the air.

"Learning how? I say I've done it! Cool!" he said with a smile as he flapped them lightly, then retracted them once more. He turned to stare at Raven. "Thanks!"

"You're the one who did it. I only gave you motivation," she stated, turning around and walking towards the center of the roof.

"Where'd you get that idea?" he asked, following

"My father, believe it or not," she stated. "When I was very young, and he was trying to teach me how to levitate myself, he blasted me off the landing I was standing on. I asked him to help me because I was falling about to fall through a void, which lead to who knows where in Azarath. He refused rather...coldly...and said that if I wanted to live, I would levitate," she hunched. "So I did. I figured that you'd do the same."

Beast Boy frowned. "Dude, you're father is harsh. I mean I was only go to crash into the ground...and not really because you were going to save me. But he was going to let you fall through a void, not even knowing if you would survive it or not?"

Raven stopped when she got to the middle and hunched. "Like I told you once before, my father and I have...issues." She turned to face him with an emotionless face. "Besides, who said I was going to save you? The other reason I did it was because you feel asleep during meditation."

Beast Boy stared at her for a moment, knowing that she was hiding her emotions stronger than ever, but also realized it would be wise to change the subject. So he laughed sheepishly and placed his hand behind his head. "Yeah...uh...sorry about that."

His sudden pause didn't get past Raven, but she was thankful that he had left the subject of her father alone. It was somethine ree really didn't want to talk about. "Right. Now let's see if we can't figure out what makes you're powers work exactly. I've already figured out that when you're asleep that you can't burn anything just by touching it with your arms and hands. Now we just have to learn what makes you do it when you're wide awake."

Beast Boy straightened up, smiling softly and nodding his head, giving her a mock salute. "Yes Dictator Raven."

Raven narrowed her eyes at him, but replied: "That's Miss, Dictator Raven to you."

*~*~*~*~*~*~

Two weeks later, Cyborg came out of his room and into the kitchen, not suprised to see his fellow titans, Robin and Starfire, already awake, but very surprised not to see Beast Boy in the kitchen with them.

"What, no tofu?" he asked as she sat across from Robin.

"Not this morning," Robin stated, taking a sip of his drink, then after making a disgusted face, swallowing it. He gagged slightly, but smiled as soon as Starfire came into view of him.

"You like it friend Robin?" she questioned hopefully, her hands clapped together with a large wooden spoon in between them. He nodded. "Excellent! I shall continue with preparing breakfast for my friend's enjoyment!" She She floated back toward the stove and he sighed. Cyborg shook his head. "What a guy will do to get a girlfriend."

"I am not trying to make Starfire my girlfriend," Robin stated.

"Sure Robin...whatever you say man," Cyborg teased. "But where's Beast Boy? He usually the first one in the kitchen...or at least he won't miss breakfast, no matter who's cookin."

"Still meditating with Raven," Robin stated. "He's making some real progess too. I don't think he can take the gloves off yet, but Raven says tve fve figured out how his power works, so they're getting somewhere. At least he's got the wing thing down. He can even bring them out when he transforms into other animals."

"Yes, seeing a green tiger with pink armed tatoos that can emit fire and wings larger than it's body is most amusing," Starfire stated as she began to spoon out food onto a platter. "And friend Beast Boy and Raven seem to have become better friends as they spend more time with one another."

Rosmilsmiled. "Yeah. They don't seem to fight nearly as much as they use to."

"I am happy that they are training so very hard, but I have finished preparing a most enjoyable breakfast of glorious Tamarian dishes," Starfire said exictedly as she set down platter after platter of weird looking foods. "So I shall fetch our friends so that we may eat!" She floated out of the room.

Cyborg and Robin glared at each of the diffrent dishes, nervously.

"What do you think she put in it?" Robin asked cautiously.

"Man, I'm still trying to figure out what they are," Cyborg stated, poking a thick, purple dish that looked like a tenticle with the end of his fork. He blinked his eyes at it for a brief second. "I don't think this is even dead yet..."

"Alright, ready to chow down!" Beast Boy practically sang as he entered the kitchen. "Dude, I am so hungry...who cooked?"

"Starfire," they replied together, making Beast Boy freeze and make a fearful face.

"I am being called?" the Tamerian asked with a questioning look as she floated back into the room, followed by Raven.

"Beast Boy was just asking who cooked," Cyborg explained. "And we were just telling him it was you."

"Yeah," Beast Boy said quickly, plastering a fake smile on his face. "And I can't wait to eat."

"I am excited as well," Starfire stated happily, floating past him and spinning in the air. "I was not certain if my food was edible, as in the past, you all made most, displeasing faces or regurgitated it. But Robin tried my Ooubeloof and he gestured it was most pleasing!"

"So now we all have to suffer," Raven mumbled, taking a seat across from Cyborg easteast Boy sat down as well, glaring at the boy wonder.

"They are all most popular dishes from my home planet! Please, enjoy!" Starfire stated merrily, standing in front of her seat and watching them all closely.

The titans stared at each other, then back down at the food with caution.

"Well, seeing as Robin seems to like it so much...I bet he'd like to be the one to take the first bite," Beast Boy began. Robin gave him a wide eyed stare.

"Oh no Beast Boy! I wouldn't want to deprive you, since you've been working so hard, what with your training, and could use the nourishment. You go ahead and try it first. I insist!"

"Yeah, I mean you just broadcasted how starved you were," Cyborg agreed, nodding.

"And since we're going right back to training, it would be wise for you to go ahead and eat," Raven agreed, taking a sip of Starfire's Ooubeloof, her eyes widening for a moment but giving no other gestures to it's actual taste.

Beast Boy glared between the three of them. "Traitors."

"Please friend Beast Boy, you must eat!" Starfire insisted, picking a platter that was closer to Cyborg and holding it out to him. "I have added some of your 'tofu' so that you mnjoynjoy."

"Um, thanks Star," Beast Boy smiled wearily. Taking a deep breath, he took the platter from her and smiling, Starfire watched him with antipation. He gave her a reasurring smile, then took off his gloves...making her, as well for Robin and Cyborg, go wide eyed as he reached for his fork.

"NO!!!" they cried out in alarm, Cyborg practically diving over towards him to smack his hand away, Raven staring at them all with a sweat drop.

But he was too late. Beast Boy had already grabbed the folk and taken a bite of the dish. He looked at his friends with a confused expression on his face, his fork hanging in his mouth

"What?" he asked in a muffled voice.

They all stared at him in surprise, they're eyes wide, looking between him, the fork, Raven, then back at Beast Boy.

"Oh yeah", she began, still staring at the trio with a sweat drop. "Forgot to mention. We were able to figure out how to stop him from buring things just by him merely touching it."

Beast Boy nodded and rolled up his sleeves, exposing again the pink vine like tattoo and put his arms on the table, flatting his hands against them. They all watched his arms carefully for a few minutes, then after noticing nothing was catching on fire, they sighed in relief.

Starfire laughing and clapping her hands.

"How long have you been able to do that?" Robin smiled as Cyborg began thanking the air and mumbling about not having to fire proof the tower after all.

Beast Boy took the fork out of his mouth. "Officially? Two days ago. I haven't been wearing my fireproof outfit since then, only the gloves. We wanted to surprise you guys."

"It is indeed, a glorious finding!" Starfire announced, hugging him slightly.

Robin nodded. "And you're learning fast. Raven, you're great."

Raven couldn't help the light smile that crossed hips.ips. "Thanks," she said in her drowning voice. "But it's nothing really. The source of his fire ability came from his arm, just like you told me Hotspot predicted it to be."

"When'd you talk to him?" Beast Boy questioned.

"The morning after I gave you the fireproof outfit. You were training though so I didn't bother," Robin explained.

"Oh."

"After I finally got him to meditate correctly," Raven continued. "he was able to concentrate the power in his arm and stopped it from burning things just by his mere touch. While he can still burn things just by touching them, he has to do it manually now and can even control the temptured degree of how he burns whatever it is he's trying to burn."

Robin whistled and Cyborg took Raven's hands, tears of happiness streaming down his face. "You have done a great service. You're fellow titans thank you."

"Um...you're welcome?"

"Dude, you act like I was really going to burn down the whole tower," Beast Boy stated sarcastically.

"You WERE...me and Robin were making plans to fire proof the whole thing!" Cyborg informed him and Beast Boy sweat dropped.

"But thanks to Raven's excellent teachings, they shall no longer have to. This is most excellent!" Starfire beamed, but was still watching the food and her friends lack of eating it.

Beast Boy sighed. "But I can't actually control my powers. I mean I can't actually use my powers, like make fireballs or blast fire or anything like that without it going all crazy."

"But it's a start," Raven reminded him.

"And a good one," Robin agreed. "Raven is going to continue to train you to control and handle your powers, but we want to help out also. Like with target practice and your speed in using your powers."

"Plus we miss kickin your butt at Game Station, since it's obvious we won't be kickin Starfire's any time soon," Cyborg added.

"I have become champion!" Starfire laughed. Robin and Cyborg mumbled.

Beast Boy clapped his hands together. " Sounds great to me. Thanks guys. And Starfire?"

She glanced at him. "Yes?"

"Your foods...s...awsome!" he announced grinning.

"Really?" she beamed, her eyes filled with stars as she clapped her hands together by her head and rested her chin on them.

"Yep," he replied. " Dunno what you put in it...or even what it is...but it's awsome!"

He picked up his fork again and took another bite out of another dish, chewing happily.

Starfire laughed with happiness as the others looked at one another. They slowly picked up forks of their own and taking a fork full of the same dish, took a bite.

Raven couldn't help but make a look of disgust as Robin, wide eyed, forcefully swallowing his gagging and banging his head. Meanwhile, Cyborg shivered as his eyes watered, swallowing the food forcefully.

Beast Boy smirked at them wickedly as he slowly swallowed his food, nodding.

"Isn't it great guys?"

They all slowly nodded, groaning in agreement as Starfire finally sat down to the table and began to eat happily.

Again, sorry it was so long.
And Anon, THANK YOU for making me aware that I was spelling Cyborg wrong. I have no clue WHY I kept putting an 'e' instead of an 'g'. ::shakes her head:: But thank you.
