Teen Titans: Mind Games ( BBxRae)

Chapter 17: New Recruit

Raven's POV

Being stuck with Beast boy was enough, and now a little kid's adding up. My life is getting more and more doomed.

"Hahaha." Zoe laughed.

I can't believe the little kid's laughing at Beast boy's lame jokes.

"How about this? Why did the cookie went to the doctor?" Beast boy asked while we walked our way home.

"Why?" Zoe asked in between her giggles.

"Because he felt crummy."

Zoe bursted out in laughter as her hand tightened in mine's.

"Knock it off, Beast boy. You're virusing the kid's brain." I said dryly.

"It's just jokes, Raven. At least the kid thinks I'm funny." Beast boy crossed his arms.

"Isn't it obvious? Probably because you're the same level as her." I replied.

"That wasn't painful. Not painful." Beast boy gave a dorky look.

We shuffled around the streets and reached Luke's home. We hauled the door and went in.

"Guys? Where were you?" Luke asked from the kitchen.

"Finally home!" Beast boy cried as he throws himself on the couch.

Luke peeped from the kitchen and noticed a little girl beside me, "Woah. You..um, started adopting?"

"Do I look like someone who wants to adopt a kid?" I glared at Luke.

"Errr, in some ways." Luke nervously replied as he darted his eyes away from me.

"Grh." I grumbled, "Okay, this is Zoe. Um, just a brief info - she's with us in Jump City."

Luke slightly tilted his head, "What do you mean?"

"She came from Jump City and seemingly lost her way in this dimension. Although I'm not sure how she got in here." I gazed at the kid below, "Kids don't lie. So, yeah."

"Okay, now three people are in my house. It's a good thing this house didn't have any weight limit." Luke placed his hand on his temples.

"Dude, I'm not heavy nor the kid." Beast boy protested.

"So you're saying I'm heavier than someone who can morph into a largest whale in the planet?" I angrily retorted.

"Gee, I wonder who that guy is." Beast boy rubbed his neck nervously.

"Right now, Zoe should be with us. Even I can't handle kids, but she's one of us, so there's no turning back. We only have four more days left. We have to find Robin and the others. Who knows what Cobra could do?"

"But...how?" Beast boy asked softly.

"In any way." I replied confidently.

The room had fallen silent and everybody was awkward. We stood there stiffly as we looked at each other's feet while the silence continued.

Robin's POV

Days have passed and we literally have no clue where Raven and Beast Boy are. We're totally hopeless.

"Cyborg, any luck with communication?" I asked.

Cyborg was busy watching a football game by the couch as he held the remote, "No. The communicator's wrecked. I bet Beast boy's and Raven's are too."

I grunted in frustration, "There must be a way to find them! We can't just stay here or something."

Starfire looked at me with concern, "Robin, I am sure they are alright."
