Chapter 5: Fights With The Body

Sideswipe. Uppercut. Roundhouse kick. Robin repeated was his team had nicknamed the "Chuck Norris" since he had entered the training room on the fighting dummy. Then, when the door swished open, he threw a black and blue birdarang.

It was out instinct at this point that he this, but it also told him who was visiting. An explosion meant Star, a hum of energy meant Raven, a crunch of metal meant Cyborg, and absolute silence meant that it was the only person to catch it out of thin air. Beast boy. The Vigilante's assistant relaxed as he turned towards the Changeling.  

"Bro, I think you need to stop doing that," BB chuckled as he tossed the weapon back to its own, "One day you might accident blow one of us up,"  

Robin smiled at this because they both knew he was to careful to do that. "What's up?" He asked, catching the projectile.

"Breakfast is ready, you coming?" Robin watched as BB replied, arms crossed and his head tilted slightly.

'He's anxious,' Robin thought as he analyzed his friend, 'About Raven?' How about a little warm up to get our appetite's going?" His arms were still locked, but now the green teen's attention was on his leader's proposal.

"Street race, holo-battalion, or—"

"Spar." Beast boy raised an eyebrow at the response, his smile waning a little.

"Are you sure, Rob? It's only Tuesday." Niether male was sure exactly how it came about but it was something of a ritual of theirs to spar on Sunday before the day light came. They were tied at the moment, surprisingly, as all their fights had been ending in draws.

Robin hopped onto the edge on of the training room's center ring, holding out a hand. BB uncrossed his arms and grabbed Robin's outstretched limb. The two climbed into the boxing style arena, each taking their own corner. The changeling slipped off his black gloves to reveal his lighter colored hands.

"I know why you're staring." Beast Boy stated without so much of a glance at his friend, "You still fear me for what I can do, for what I can become right?" Robin looked at the ground, answering wordlessly. There had always been this unsaid tension between the two males, at first because of their attitudes and egos. But as time went on, anything thing came to both of them: Robin understood, that at some level, the changeling should be feared, while Beast Boy could always sense that glimpse of fear coming from the leader.

It wasn't something either was willing to address, but then it had displayed when it had appeared. It was then that Robin's true feelings for Beast Boy came out, losing his professional edge at the assumption that his teammate had turned into a monster and attack Raven.
Things weren't the same after that. For three months, the two would fight over the littlest of things. Eventually it took Raven and Starfire to talk them separately to cool their tempers.

It took Beast Boy saving Robin's life to really change his mind about the Changeling. Afterwards they became rather close, almost like brothers. Granted they still fought, but now it was under a different understanding.  And if it was ever serious enough, they'd spar it out.
Robin averted his eyes, muttering an apology. BB chuckled before he clutched his hands and ran at Bird Boy. Robin head snapped up, his face suddenly serious. He sidestepped, his footing allowing him to dodge the charge. BB ducked under a kick to the head Robin threw a moment later, Robin back-flipping away.  

Robin shifted into a stance once he had gotten his feet on the ground, his right arm pulled back with his fist aligning with waistline. His left was out stretched, his hand then doing the wave for, "Come at me." BB didn't waste any time, throwing out his arms and extending hands to unsheathe his claws.

Over the last two years, the changeling had learned that he didn't transform completely to use certain animal attributes. Raven had originally suggested that she open a mental connection him, but a blushing brown BB was against it.

He had told her that he'd find away to do it on his own. So Beast Boy started practicing how to shift his body parts. It was a challenge, worse than anything he had done to date. And When he tried wings, specifically pterodactyl wings, he ended up in the med bay for weeks because he messed up his spine's alignment. Guess who took care of him the entire time? If you're thinking Raven, you'd be wrong.

The Demoness wouldn't talk to him once during his recovery. When he finally went to apologize for whatever he did, Raven hugged him as soon as she opened the door. His best friend (besides Cyborg) then proceeded to scold him on the dangers of experimental morphing alone and insisted she be present for every practice.

And now because of her being with him as he trained he could do this: BB rushed at Robin, this time with the speed of a cheetah pulsing through his muscles! When they got into close combat, all the strikes and slashes the Changeling threw were blocked by Robin's perfected guard. With their speeds almost matched, both wore down rather quickly.

One major part of their spars was to test each other's endurance and stamina. The second part? To see who prevailed over all: the Trained Warrior Bird or the Wild and Unpredictable Number 1 Knucklehead Shapeshifter. Finally catching their breath, the two charged at one another!
A fight before breakfast! Enjoy!
