-Chapter Two: Bunking with a Beast-
For the rest of that day, or at least two hours, no one saw Skylar. Of coarse, Robin worried that he was gone, and they had lost a potentially valued teammate, but that was not so. Raven was disturbed, just the fact that Skylar was hiding somewhere in the Tower pissed her off. Little did Raven expect to be the one who would find their strange visitor.
As Raven opened her room door she felt the urge to blow up a certain houseguest, because what she saw was an all too comfortable Skylar on her bed reading one of her books. “What the hell are you doing in my room?” I hate him. Her voice was calm, but you could practically see the smoke pouring out of her ears. Skylar looked at her from over the book he was reading with an eyebrow raised
“Your room?” Heh, I'm gonna piss her off.
Raven fought to stay calm and collected “Yes, Skylar, my room.” Do not lose control. When she said his name it dripped with malice. Skylar blinked “Well, can't you just get another room? I'm already comfortable.” Skylar went back to reading his book. That was the last straw for Raven “GET OUT!” She tried to lift him up with her powers, but with a wave of Skylar's hand they dissipated.
Raven took a step back. Her face held a look of utter shock “Who the hell are you!?” What the hell did he do!? Skylar stood up “I want to ask you a similar question: Who the hell do you think you are!? Barging into my room is one thing! Trying to kick me out is another! Who does shit like that!?” Oops! I think I went a bit too far…
With every passing word, Raven became more and more enraged, and simply seeing the look on her face, Skylar ran down the stairs.
Skylar only ran in vain, because he heard an all too familiar mantra “Azarath…” Skylar ran down the stairs and found Beast Boy and Cyborg going in a fierce battle of Street Fighters 3. “Guys, you have got to help me!” Cyborg, while still pummeling Beast Boy “What's wrong?” Skylar groaned “I pissed off Raven!” Beast Boy and Cyborg dropped their controllers at the same time. Mother fucker…
“You did what!?” Cyborg slapped his forehead “Don't you know that a pissed off Raven is a dangerous Raven?” “Metrion…” The second part of a painfully familiar mantra was heard from the top of the stairs. Skylar growled “I realized!” Beast Boy cut in “Dude, what the fuck could you have possibly have done to piss her off that bad!?” Dude, this is gonna be good…
“All I did was go into her room!” And piss her off… Beast Boy's pupils shrank “You're boned!” He made a dash for the door, but Cyborg forced him to stay “Nah, BB, We have to try to save Skylar's sorry ass!” Skylar sighed and got into fighting position “Thank, Cy.” Cyborg shook his head “Not with force, man! Then we'll all get killed! We have to try to talk her out of knocking your sorry ass into last week!!”
Skylar looked at Cyborg “Can you stop with the `sorry ass' thing! Besides, it couldn't possibly be that bad! Could it?” It was Beast Boy's turn to speak “Actually… It can… And it is.” Suddenly a very pissed off Raven floated down the stairs. Cyborg tried to reason with her “Raven! You can't do this!” Raven glared at Skylar “And Why not!” Skylar cut in “I'm sorry! I honestly thought it was my room!”
Raven rolled her eyes “You're an idiot and I won't let you become a part of this team.” Skylar smiled “Idiot? No fair, that's getting personal! And that's totally beside the point! But I am serious about joining the team.” Cyborg covered Skylar's mouth “Stop talking! That only provokes her!” Beast Boy looked at Raven nervously “Uh… Raven? You should calm down. I know you're upset, but-”
Raven had cut him off “Just shut up, Beast Boy.” Goddamned idiot.
Beast Boy shrank down behind Cyborg “He's right, Raven. You should calm down.” Skylar finally broke free of Cyborg's grasp “Whew! It's hot in here!” Skylar's body erupted in wind current “That's better. Now let's duke it out, one on one!” He resumed his fighting position and lounged at Raven. She was caught off guard, but was surprised when Skylar stopped half an inch away from her face.
“You know, under that dark hood of yours, you don't look that bad at all!” He quickly pulled her hood down, then seemed to disappear into thin air. He reappeared onto the couch and smiled “Just chill, Rae! I said sorry and no one got hurt.” The cyclone surrounding his body flickered a few times, then died; also a large chunk of roof fell on him. Take that bitch…
Skylar spasmed for a minute then regained his composure “Huh?” Skylar blinked “My powers stopped!” Skylar looked at Raven “What did you do?” Raven rose an eyebrow “Nothing. Why?” He's able to teleport? Skylar shook his head “Because you are the only one in the Tower with the capability to block my powers!” Raven put her hood back up. “Well, I didn't.”
With that Raven left for her room. Skylar tried desperately to get his powers to work but it was all in vain.
Beast Boy didn't know what to expect “Dude, has this ever happened before?” Skylar nodded “Yeah, but I knew why.” Cyborg cut in “Well maybe we could run some tests to figure out what's wrong.” Skylar smiled “Yeah, I think that could help!” I can only hope…
-In The Med. Lab-
All of the Titans had gathered in the Med. Lab to see what was wrong with their visitor. Cyborg was looking over some charts “Well, Sky, it looks like something is blocking your powers, but it's like nothing I've ever seen.” Skylar sighed “I think I know what it is. Titans, I have something to tell you all that you guys would need to know sooner or later…” Dammit!
Skylar removed his sunglasses. But the second he did a beam of destructive, almost demonic, red light shot out of his eyes. Skylar screamed as the light burned a hole through the wall. Skylar tried desperately to close his eyes, but to no avail. Skylar held his head on both sides trying to concentrate on stopping the destructive eye beam.
Finally, after about ten minutes of fighting his own eyes, the demonic red beam turned into a harmless spectrum of dancing light. Beast Boy was first to talk “Dude, what the hell was that!?” Skylar put his sunglasses back on “I'd like to ask the same question.” What the hell? He held his head “I need some aspirin, I'll see you all later…” Skylar turned to leave, but Robin stopped him.
“Does that happen often?” Skylar shook his head “No! It only happens when someone has been tampering with my powers!” He shot Raven a deadly glare and she returned it. “The balance of my body and powers is very delicate, so reactions like that can happen, sometimes even worst.” Suddenly Starfire, who had been quiet the whole day, cut in.
“Friend Skylar, I must confess that it is my fault for your malfunctioning powers.” Skylar looked over at Starfire “What do you mean, Star?” Every one in the room, except for the two talking, tensed when they heard him use Starfire's nickname. “Well, while you were unconscious I fed you Blorgath berries, best known for-” “Best known for stimulating self healing.” Skylar had cut her off.
Everyone in the room had their eyes on Skylar, who sweat dropped “Uh…” Oh damn… Starfire spoke again “I am overjoyed that our new friend has knowledge of Tamaranian culture!” Skylar shrank into a corner, feeling uncomfortable due to the suspicious glare of Raven. Skylar looked down on the ground as Raven spoke “I think now would be a good time to call an interrogation meeting.” I'm gonna kick your ass!
-In The TV Room-
Robin was the first to speak “Well, I guess the team does deserve to know a little about you.” Skylar nodded “I guess I understand.” Skylar sighed and shook his head. What the hell did I just get myself into? He took a sip of his hot chocolate. Beast Boy rose his hand, waving it around like a school child with the answer to a hard question
“I have I question!” Skylar pointed to Beast Boy “Shoot.”
Beast Boy took a deep breath “Why do you have that diamond thingy on your forehead that looks just like Ravens?” None of the other Titans had really noticed that Skylar had a chakra on his forehead because it was covered with his hair. Skylar looked at Robin in distress “Uh… That's kinda personal.” Skylar blushed, catching Raven's suspicious glare.
Beast Boy sighed in defeat “Aww. Okay, I have another question! Are you from Earth?” Cyborg's cup exploded and one of the glass shards cut his face. Skylar shook his head “No I'm not from Earth.” Raven cut in “Then where are you from?” Skylar looked her in the eye challengingly “I don't know…” Raven raised an eyebrow “Where are your parents from?”
That hit a little bit too close to home as Beast Boy's cup also exploded “Dude!” another shard cut Skylar's face “I've never met my parents.” Raven didn't give up “Why not?” Another two glasses exploded: Robin and Starfire's. This time Skylar remained unharmed, and by this time Skylar and Raven were forehead to forehead. “They're dead.” He gave her a cold tone and narrowed his eyes.
The other Titans were looking on in awe. Raven only tried to provoke him further “So, how did they die?” A look of pain flashed over his face, but he just smiled. “You've got some hot chocolate on your cheek…” He licked it off. Raven froze. Skylar looked around at the other Titans, who were in shock. As usual, Beast Boy was the first to speak “Dude… you are so dead…” He giggled. He never learns, heh…
When Skylar looked at Raven's face it was red and you could see the smoke pouring out of her ears. “Uh… Raven?” Oh fuck… Skylar, realizing that he had just crossed the line, erupted into wind currents “Robin! Some help here!” Hey! My powers are working again! Sweet! Robin tried to help “Raven, what you have to realize is that Skylar is playful and he thought you would just laugh it off…”
All of a sudden a chunk of the roof surrounded in a dark light, dropped on Skylar's head. “Argh!” He growled “What the hell, Raven!” Beast Boy cut in “Just be lucky she didn't give you an Atom Bomb Wedgie!” Cyborg smirked “Yeah! She gave Beast Boy one of those and that's why he stopped growing!” Beast Boy lounged at Cyborg, thus starting another fight.
Skylar rubbed his head and sighed “Raven?” She glared at him “What?” Skylar smirked. Time to bring it home! “Why do you hate me?” Raven teleported out of the room “Heh…” Skylar smirked “Score one for me!” The remaining Titans stared at him in disbelief. Starfire spoke “Skylar, since yesterday I have been deep in thought trying to remember something I have heard about you but I can not seem to place it.”
A look of worry struck Skylar's face “What do you mean?” Oh no… Starfire gave Skylar a look “On Tamaran we have heard of a race of beings with powers similar to the ones you posses.” Skylar raised an eyebrow “I don't think that would even be possible.” It can't be! Skylar stood up and went into the kitchen before he was forced to reveal any important information.
“Robin!” Skylar called from the kitchen. Robin walked into the kitchen “What was Starfire talking about?” Skylar shook his head “It was nothing. I just wanted to know if I could crash on the couch or something.” Robin shook his head “No that's not necessary you can bunk with Beast Boy.” Skylar grinned “Great! I'm gonna go back to my hotel and get my stuff!” They're getting close…
Skylar walked back into the TV room and noticed everyone was still staring at him. “Uh… Beast Boy, do you wanna come help me get my stuff at my hotel room?” I need to get out of here for a while… Beast Boy nodded slowly, still half in shock. Skylar, who was walking out the door, motioned for Beast Boy to follow him. On his way out the door, Skylar shot Starfire a curious glance.
-Somewhere else-
On the way to the hotel there was an awkward silence between Skylar and Beast Boy. After walking nearly half the way there, Skylar noticed that Beast Boy was giving him strange side-glances, which were wearing on his nerves. Skylar suddenly stopped in the middle of the road “Okay, what is it?” What does he know? Beast Boy took a step back “Huh?”
Skylar rolled his eyes at his stupidity “Why are you giving me those weird looks out of the corner of your eye!?” It was evident that Skylar was loosing his patients. Beast Boy shifted his gaze to the ground “Well, I don't…” Skylar cut in “Trust me? Is this about trust?” Beast Boy didn't answer, but Skylar shook his head “What is it!?” Skylar's hands were balled into fists.
“What you did to Raven was…” Beast boy's shaky voice sounded but Skylar cut in anyway “Raven? This is about Raven!?” Skylar growled, but soon after his eyebrows raised and he smirked. “Oh…” Let's have some fun. Skylar gave an all knowing `oh'. “So you have a crush on raven, do ya?”
Skylar swaggered over to him, and seeing the look of utter embarrassment and shock on Beast Boys face, he raised an amused eyebrow.
“No way, dude! I totally do not have a crush on Raven!” Beast Boy was now blushing. “Why deny it, Beast Boy? It's obvious that you like her. Besides, Cyborg already told me how hard you're crushing on her.” Beast Boy blinked “What!?” WHAT!? Skylar nodded “But enough of this talk…” He trailed off and put a finger on Beast Boy's chest “Tell me more about… Raven.”
First of all, Beast boy was confused. Second of all, he was enraged. “Dude, there is no way that Raven would even be interested in you!” Skylar grinned walking slowly “I beg to differ…” Beast Boy raised a suspicious eyebrow “What's that supposed to mean?” Skylar coughed “Nothing.” Beast Boy rolled his eyes “Well, anyway, even if she was `intrigued' by you, there is no way that you could be her type!”
Skylar grinned. “Everyone is my type, even you!” Beast Boy's face held an expression of total shock “What do you mean by `even me'?” Skylar blinked. “I mean that you don't have to know me, but I'm still your type.” To prove his point, Skylar kissed Beast Boy on the cheek. “Yep. You taste like you're my type.” Beast Boy started hopping around in panic mode “OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD!”
Skylar shook his head “Beast Boy! It was just a kiss on the cheek!” Beast Boy stopped hopping around and realized where he was. “How did we get all the way to the hotel?” Skylar rolled his eyes “I teleported us through the kiss.” Beast Boy blinked. “Dude, you're telling me you could have teleported the whole time!?” Skylar nodded “Yup. Oh and just to let you know, I'm not into Raven.” Much…
He went into the elevator without another word and Beast Boy followed. “So what floor were you on?” Skylar yawned. “The top one.” “You mean the pent house? Are you rich or something?” “Something like that…” They arrived on the top floor and Skylar used his key card to open the door. “You get that chest and I'll get this one.” Skylar heaved a chest onto his back while Beast Boy did the same.
Skylar went over and stepped on Beast Boys foot as hard as he could. Beast Boy Screamed trying hard not to drop the chest full of who knows what. “What the hell, dude?” “I teleported.” Beast Boy looked around and they were back in the tower. “Oh. Well you didn't have to do it so hard!” Skylar grinned. “So where will I be sleeping?” “On the floor!” Heh, that's what you get for smashing my toe!
Beast Boy smirked. “You're lucky you have a place to stay at all!” “Fine!” Skylar smirked and walked into Beast Boys room and dropped the chest on the floor, while Beast Boy followed. “What's in these chests anyway?” “Clothes.” Skylar grinned. “You've got a lot of clothes then.” “Yeah whatever. Now leave so I can change!” Skylar literally kicked Beast Boy out of the room. “What the hell!?” Beast Boy growled.
Skylar grinned from inside the room. “Don't worry, Beast Boy! I'll be out in a minute!” Skylar began to unpack some clothes from the smaller of the two chests. He unpacked a pair of black and red plaid boxer shorts, a large white T-shirt and a towel. “Hey, Beast Boy, let's watch a movie.” Beast Boy grinned. “Sure dude! I'll get the rest of the team!”
“Wait, Beast Boy!” Beast boy stopped in his tracks when Skylar opened the door. “What is it dude?” Skylar blushed. “Um… Where's the shower?” Beast Boy grinned. “Oh. That's three doors down, to the right.” Skylar nodded and shook his head. “Thanks, Beast Boy.” When Skylar arrived at the bathroom door he found that the door was rigged with a soda balloon. Beast Boy, you dumb ass…
Skylar took the balloon down and stepped into the bathroom, locking the door behind him.
-In The TV Room-
Beast Boy had managed to gather the whole team, including Raven, into the TV room. Raven spoke first. “So what are we going to watch?” I hope it's not American Pie… Beast Boy smirked. “We're going to watch American Pie 2!” Skylar walked into the room in his previously selected attire. But there was something different about him. “Did I just hear you say American pie, Beast Boy?”
Everyone's eyes were on Skylar. “Uh… Dude? Your hair! It's red!” Skylar blinked. “Oh, that whole green hair thing was just green dye…” Skylar's hair was now the same color as Starfire's. Skylar looked around the room, all eyes were on him. “Uh…” He sat down beside Starfire and grinned nervously. “So, how about we start the movie?” Skylar's sunglasses shone due to the light on the TV screen.
Starfire smiled happily and began to play with his hair. “Glorious! Friend Skylar's hair is just like mines!” Skylar blushed, but Starfire didn't care. “Friend Skylar, would you like to do the braiding of hair with me? And after that we may go to the mall of shopping!” Starfire was obviously getting over excited. “Alright, Star, We can braid each others hair…” Aww, fuck… How will I get myself out of this… Skylar smiled.
Starfire squealed and Raven, who had watched the whole scene from the other side of the couch, glared. They watched the opening credits and about half an hour into the movie Starfire paused it. “Hey, what's up with that, dude?” Starfire turned to Skylar. “Friend Skylar, can you please explain to me why-” Skylar cut her off. “Just never do it and you'll be fine.” He blushed and pressed play.
“Wait.” Skylar stopped the movie. “This is American Pie 2! We can't watch this!” Beast Boy frowned “Oh yeah! Heh, sorry.” He put in a different movie. Starfire immediately began to ask Skylar questions. “Friend Skylar, what I saw in the movie was strange. Would it be pleasurable to you if I-” “No.” “Would it be pleasurable to me if you-” “No.”
“What if two females were to-” Skylar pondered for a moment, then Saw Raven's glare and smirked. “Possibly…” Robin shook his head and left with Cyborg and Beast Boy. “We're going to bed.” Skylar grinned. “I think I'm going to bed too. See you in the morning.” Skylar departed. Raven was only still there because she didn't trust Skylar. Starfire was there because Raven and Skylar were there.
Raven and Starfire also went to bed. I don't trust him one bit. I hope he doesn't try anything.
