Jealousy's the Ugliest Trait

"Incoming!" Cyborg shouted. The room's occupants ducked. He ran to the sofa and jumped behind it. There was a resounding boom that didn't seem to come from him.

"What is it this time?" Kid Flash whispered harshly from his hiding place in the kitchen.

"Some girl at In-N-Out Burger." The cybernetic teen whispered back.

"Really?!" Jinx screwed up her face. "Have some class, Changeling!"

"How far away are they?" Nightwing, who had just come in from extra training, decided he wasn't going to hide until the two arguing actually stepped into the room.

"They were two rooms away when I ran in." Cyborg said.

"It won't be long now." Bumble Bee sighed as she cradled Calvin to her chest.

As soon as she finished speaking, there was another boom and Raven stalked in. Her scowl was so dark; Nightwing was reminded of his adoptive father. "I don't want to talk about it anymore!"

"Well I do!" Changeling yelled as he was on her heels. "You can't just accuse me of flirting with that girl just because she gave me extra sauce!"

Raven whirled around and he had to back up so she wasn't in his face. Too bad she got closer anyway. "You knew what you were doing! You just had to pour on the charm!"

"I can't help that I'm charming." He gave a roguish grin.

She growled. "You're not!"

He lost his grin. "Why are you so mad?! She wasn't that cute anyway."

Unfortunately, two extra eyes opened on Raven's forehead. "Is that supposed to make me feel better?!"

Changeling had the sense to take a moment to think about his answer before he spoke but he still stuck his foot in his mouth. "Yes."

The tower started rumbling as Raven became incensed.

"Changeling, no!" Cyborg whisper-yelled.

"Don't try to save him!" Bumble Bee snapped. "She shouldn't take that!"

The rumbling stopped as Jinx stood up. "That's right! Just because that girl wasn't pretty doesn't mean he wasn't flirting!"

"I didn't say she wasn't pretty." Changeling lifted a finger.

Kid Flash hit his head against the counter as he stood up. "No, dude!"

"Why would you say that?!" Cyborg added.

"But she wasn't as pretty as you, Rae." Changeling stuttered.

"Why is it that every time we're around other women, you lose your mind?!" She folded her arms across her chest.

"Obviously I don't have a mind to lose!"

"You're right about that! You're so brainless; I wonder how you breathe sometimes!"

"Like this!" He opened his mouth and heavily breathed.

Cyborg and Kid Flash both chuckled but Bumble Bee and Jinx slapped them upside the head. "Not funny!"

"Guys." Nightwing spoke. "Maybe you should stop fighting and start talking... in another room?"
