DC Street Racing AU — Bart Allen’s Backstory

alright, i know practically nothing about cars. i’ve also never even seen a Fast and the Furious movie, but SOMEONE has gotta fill the void on lack of DC Street Racing AUs, and i’m gonna do it. (if there are some out there though, please let me know! i can barely find ANYTHING, and i’d love to see stuff for this kind of AU!)

so,,, i’m just saying,,, the Teen Titans and Young Justice Crews as Street Racers.

we’ll start off with the characters that sent me into this spiral in the first place: Bart Allen and Wally West.

again, i know practically nothing about this kind of stuff. i know nothing about street racing, or cars, but i’m just saying… i really love imagining Street Racer!Wally being Bart’s inspiration for wanting to race.

even though Iris was never approving of Wally’s racing (she’s supportive, but extremely concerned for his safety), Wally would occasionally bring Bart along to the races that he’d have with friends. sometimes Bart would sneak his way into going without Wally realizing, but either way, Bart would come along.

after years of growing up and watching Wally race, Bart decided he wanted to race too. (note: to save myself a headache since this is No Powers AU and Time Travel doesn’t take place, we’re just gonna pretend that Barry and Iris adopted Bart. i want to say that his parents were close family members of Iris and Wally. perhaps one of the parents was another cousin of theirs, but both Bart’s parents ended up dying in some sort of accident. since then, Bart’s been living with Barry, Iris, and their newly born twins.)

i have so much more to say about this AU, but i want to warn you because this is about to be a VERY long post. however, if you wanna know Bart Allen’s Street Racer AU backstory and more about Wally (and his racing group, The Titans), please read more!

(TW: small car accident — completely non-graphic, no injuries involved, everything is okay, but it does happen) Bart’s been interested in racing for YEARS. ever since he was a kid, he’s always craved to know what it’s like — to feel the wind in your hair, the rush of adrenaline in your veins, the feeling of your heart racing as you watch the speedometer go up and up and up. the exhilaration filling your lungs as some part of you realizes “this is dangerous”.

he wants those feelings. he wants that experience that makes Wally’s eyes light up like there’s pure lightening rushing through his veins.

he wants to go Fast.

when Bart was thirteen, Wally let him sit in the driver’s seat for the first time.

Wally didn’t let him drive it, of course. Bart wasn’t tall enough yet to reach the petals even if he wanted to, but he was excited nonetheless. Wally had laughed at him as he grinned, asking how to work everything.

the car wasn’t on — Wally wasn’t dumb enough to give him even the slightest chance of trying to start it. it was a good choice. Bart would be a liar to say that he wouldn’t have instantly tried to drive it. instead, Wally let Bart mess with the gears and pretend he was in a race of his own. he’d adjust the mirror to try to see himself. he was too short to fully be seen in it, but if he sat up tall enough he could see his eyes.

years later, Bart would do the same. he’d look into his reflection and see his eyes, sparkling with that same determination that he had all those years ago.

Wally had explained everything to him. Bart started off by eagerly pointing at things (like the gear, the numbers, and all the weird symbols he could see) and ask questions, and Wally would answer every one. Wally explained other things too, like what made Wally’s special car better for racing than some random car. Bart hung on every word, trying his best to imagine all the pieces, even if he didn’t know what some were at all. he tried to commemorate every bit of information to memory bc maybe one day, he could make himself a cool car too.

the first time Bart actually drove a car was a disaster.

he was barely fourteen. it was hardly even a few months after Wally had verbally explained to him how to work a car.

no one expected him to put that knowledge to use so quickly.

somehow he got ahold of Iris’ keys. he would never explain how he got him (they were RIGHT THERE on the counter. how was he supposed to say no when they made it so easy?), but somehow it happened.

his joyride didn’t last long enough. for a short moment though, he was beyond excited to be beyond the wheel. after lots of adjusting the seat and awkwardly shuffling to sit as close to the wheel as possible to be able to see over the hood, Bart started to drive.

he managed to get down the street. he was a little slow at first. the car wobbled in an unsteady line as it trudged down the road at barely 10mph. Bart’s eyes flickered constantly between the road and the mirror, his small hands gripping the wheel like a lifeline.

the anxiousness he felt subsided as he reached the end of the neighborhood. there was no sign of Iris in sight, and he managed to drive just fine. stunned laughter bubbled from his lips as his eyes flickered back down to the road ahead— he was doing it! he was really doing it! he was driving!

with a newfound confidence urging him on, he turned onto a connected street to keep going. he started pressing on the gas pedal more, trying to gain some speed. the car started going from a slow crawl to a decently safe speed. Bart started pressing down on it harder and harder, going faster and faster. he remembered laughing in delight. the windows were cracked halfway, allowing the air to rush in. it tousled his hair, and for a moment he felt like he was flying.

until he wasn’t.

he hadn’t really considered the thought of other cars. he hadn’t considered a lot of things actually, such as the fact it was the middle of the day and people would be driving.

he didn’t crash into anyone, but it was a close call. when he started getting closer to the main road and noticed the cars zooming across, he panicked.

he hit the brakes. he did what Wally said. he didn’t slam them, but he was still going too fast. the cars were getting closer! Bart pressed his foot door harder and finally, stomped on the brakes altogether.

he yanked the wheel away from the road, shutting his eyes tight.

the wheels spun. he went off the road into the grass, tire skidding rough tracks across the grass and dirt. he didn’t hit a car, but he did hit the stop sign at the end of the street.

it was a miracle he didn’t get hurt, or worse. he ended up a bit banged up hitting the wheel and the seatbelt yanking too tight, but he was overall fine. unfortunately, Iris definitely wasn’t happy.

Bart didn’t drive for a long while after that.

occasionally, Wally would still take him on drives though.

some of Bart’s best memories are riding in the passenger seat late at night. along barren backroads and empty highways, Wally would race through the streets. with the windows rolled down, the two of them would laugh, voices carried through the wind that whipped their hair like reckless flames.

under the passing lights, Bart would grin wide and holler his excitement into the night sky without a care in the world.

the world would need to try pretty hard to catch them.

Bart would also get to attend a few of Wally’s races. it isn’t as often as he used to with Iris and Barry watching him more closely, but he still got to go some times.

he’d only really watch Wally race against friends.

they called themselves the Titans. Wally said the name wasn’t planned, it just happened to stick. Bart assumed it was more because as time went on, they really did become like the titans to beat if you wanted to prove yourself as a racer.

it was who made up the team that once surprised him.

Dick Grayson, Wally’s best friend of many years and infamous son of Gotham’s Bruce Wayne, was the unofficial leader of the group. The Dick Grayson, with his car as dark as the night. the darkness of the car was only disrupted by a few brilliant blue decals. the most memorable one was always the striking blue silhouette of a bird on the hood. (“Nightwing,” Dick affectionately called the car.)

Koriand’r, an incredibly kind woman with hair that was almost more fiery than Bart’s own. her car was a vibrant purple with flames racing along the sides as if it’d caught fire. (“they call me Starfire”, she told him once when caught him fawning over the car, awed as ever. “i like to imagine that if i drive just fast enough, i can see flames.”)

Victor Stone, who indulged all his questions and answered every single one with the same enthusiasm. he’d lost an arm to an accident, but replaced it with an amazing cybernetic one. his designed his own car to have similar robotic style. incredibly futuristic and constantly updated with the best parts he could find. (“someone called me Cyborg,” Victor told him once while working on the car. he let Bart sit in the garage with him, occasionally offering whatever help he could. “i think it was an insult at first, but the name sort of stuck, kind of like with the Titans. so i made it my own.”)

and at last, Garfield Logan, the youngest of the group. with his dark green hair and toothy smile, Garfield was always quick to make him feel welcome and make him laugh with an endless amount of dumb jokes. his charisma and bright personality showed in his car. like his hair, it was a deep green. when he turned it on, the underneath glowed a neon green. black pawprints walked along the sides towards the end of the car. (“they’re actually tiger pawprints,” Gar corrected him once, looking excited as ever to explain. “there’s a few other animals too. i wanted it to look like the animals were really here, or like maybe i’m the animal? i dunno. i told everyone to call me Beast Boy, so i guess this would be my beast.”) they had another friend, Raven, that never raced with them. dressed in black with dark hair that he swore shone purple in certain lights, Raven was much more quiet and reserved than the rest of the group. Bart enjoyed her rare company, despite it being more of a companionable silence. he’d take it none the less. sometimes if Bart was able to hang out with Wally and the group outside of racing nights, he’d occasionally he’d bring along homework, a book, or a comic to read if Wally was meant to be busy at some point. he’d end up hanging out in one of their apartments while they were busy, and sometimes Raven would be there. they’d quietly read in each other’s company, never having to say a word. he’d asked Wally once why she didn’t race too. Wally had only laughed. (”we’re lucky that she doesn’t,” Wally told him, “if Raven raced, we’d all be doomed, trust me. you should never underestimate her.” Bart figured that meant that Raven was an undeniable part of the group too. he hoped he’d see her race one day.)

all of them were amazing, but Bart was a little stunned by each of them had their own unique style. they all had their own story and reason for being inspired to race. the one thing they all shared though was that same spark in their eyes Wally had.

needless to say, Bart would try to spend as much time with them as possible to try and learn from them.

his dream was to race, but his other dream was now to become just like them. he wanted to be a Titan.

he was too young at that time, but he would aim to prove that he could be good enough to join them one day. he would be a Titan.

or at least, he’d be close enough to being a Titan, he’d decide upon meeting a few other faces around his age, but that’s a story for another day. ...and that’s all we have for now, folks!

if you’re wondering why i chose only those Teen Titans, i didn’t want to make the group too big. i originally considered the OG Young Justice group, but found that i really wanted to save Superboy (Conner Kent, my beloved) to be apart of Bart’s friend group later. (not to mention, i REALLY wanted to talk about Street Racer! Kori existing in this AU. Beast Boy’s another favorite that i just HAD to include, thus we have the animated Teen Titans team, just with Wally and Dick having the same kind of friendship as kids like in YJ.)

let me know if you want any more from his idea! i’d love to know what you guys think of all this so far. if you ever want me to talk about anyone in particular, please feel free to ask! i’d totally be up to come up with more ideas! i’d also love to know if anyone has any thoughts about other characters might be like from this AU!

i really just came up with all this on the fly, but i’m honestly becoming attached to this AU already, so i’d be more than excited to talk more about it!

thanks for reading!!

Cyborg City

Series: [26 Days of Alphabetical AUs Fics - Mini Masterlist]

Letter + AU: Letter C, Cyborg AU (inspired by Obsession - EXO)

TW: Dark humour, gore, language, the governement

Pairing: Platonic!EXO , Brother!Park Chanyeol (EXO) x Sister!Female Reader

Genre: Cyborg AU, Crack, Headcanons

Word count: 2k

“if you stop running, we’ll have to detain you but it��ll hurt a lot less.”

“yeah, because that’s so fucking reassuring.”

you technically wouldn’t be having this conversation if you didn’t sneak into a government facility filled with biotechnology and get caught but go figure.

also, being on top of a super high building with cars literally racing each other near a highway isn’t really that fun but chances are you have a slim to none chance of surviving if he doesn’t get here in time.

it’ll be his head on a silver platter if he doesn’t hurry up.

the purple and blue fluorescent lights on every building and banner along with the pink hued sunset were really starting to hurt your eyes, you had to blink a couple times before taking a few steps back to stop the heavy geared officers from approaching you, the sole of your foot on the edge of the building.

“hey, get away from the edge.”

“you guys switched up so fast.” you couldn’t really tell if it was a woman or a man speaking because of the huge head gear while the other kept glancing at the distance between you and your possible death.

not that it mattered, it’s not like you’re going to jump.

“look, if you just put the bag down, we’ll let you go.”

“yeah,” you scoffed with a laugh, “by signing me to a fucking coffin. God, I hate the government.”

“I’ll lose my job!”

you sent the officer the most perplexed look you could pull off before laughing again, “that sounds like a you problem.”

“listen, I’ve got an older brother who’s in pretty bad shape and I need these things,” you glanced at your watch for a second before smiling at the officers, “so, if you’ll excuse me.”

“what are you-- hey!”

you just had to lean your back off the edge to start free falling. it was like a lucid dream, everything felt so calm and peaceful, even with the screaming in the background.

ever since the crisis in 2007, everything had switched from modern day technology to robots and cyborgs in a fourteen years, everything that was once run by humans were now taken over by robots.

which would explain the very dark futuristic allure to the entire city, it would also explain why you aren’t completely fearing for your life as of right now.

“come on, come on, come on…” you closed your eyes, the wind clotting your ears, everything seemingly becoming an eco around you.

was it fun falling? you almost laughed at the thought that crossed your mind.

of course not; it literally felt like you were in the middle of an airplane that had just entered low pressured air.

“Jongin I swear to god if you don’t catch me, I’m not the only one that’ll kill you in hell!” you wondered if he even heard you, let alone knows where you are.

your brother is going to be more than upset if he finds out that one of his partners let you go splat.

if he finds out. it really does depend on you if you can even get to him before his entire system goes haywire.

you opened your eyes and screamed; you were so much closer to the ground than you thought, you were just seconds away from actually dying.

I can’t believe this is happening.

the people on the sidelines were watching you’re so close to your own fucking death as others were already trying to call cyborg officers, those who aren’t necessarily 100% human, to catch you in time.

you might actually die.

at least it’ll be before your brother because that man is in pretty rough shape right now.

but you don’t know what's worse; dying by getting hit by an oncoming truck or dying because your system is making you go coo-coo.

“it’s fun watching someone plunge to their death.”

you’ve never felt so annoyed yet relieved that here his voice.

“bite me.”

now that Jongin was flying above you with a comical smirk on his face to play hero, he grabbed your waist just before you were supposed to come in contact with the truck and flew all the way to a building about ten miles from where you were.

“son of a bitch, don’t ever fucking do that again.” you hissed at the blue-green haired man while catching your breath, “I almost lost my life, not that I’m complaining but still.”

Jongin was your best friend and at the same time, your worst enemy. he's probably the reason you don’t sleep at night because of the endless phone calls and messages and the reason for nearly all your mental problems but is also the one person who hasn’t tried to intentionally kill you.

win-win? maybe.

he was actually the first person out of the six dumbasses to reveal himself as a cyborg; his left eye, although normal at first glance, is a red-eyed machine and his back has built-in boosters acquiring them after a freak car accident as a child.

“you’re alive are you not?” he deadpanned before smirking, “should’ve done myself a favour and let you die.”

taking you back to the bunker was easy, getting you inside was also pretty easy.

but getting you to the small makeshift lab with Chanyeol about to kill literally everyone he sees is honestly tragic.

what's even worse is that the rest of them were still trying to sedate him after you’ve been gone for nearly an hour.

can’t say you’re disappointed; your brother is pretty bad when upset.

luckily, another episode has stopped and he’s finally out cold, Jongdae laying him on the couch while letting out a tired breath.

right, another episode.

the crisis in ‘07 was the tragic story of a group of scientists who created several artificial intelligences in order to save the world.

that certainly didn’t go as planned.

the technology was so new that they didn’t realize the consequences of giving these computers unlimited access to the internet, to information and better yet, classified information from neighbouring countries.

despite the fact that that alone would have caused a war, nothing was solvable until the artificial intelligences started creating more and more of their own. they took over machines, systems, nearly everything that was filled with technology, poor or high end.

so what did the government decide to do? Find any machine part and use it on strangers and the weak to make them stronger and to possibly wipe out the crisis.

it worked for the first six years, even with the mass protests about sacrificing the lives of innocent people, they didn’t stop.

and it was in 2013 that the government started getting power hungry. they redid everything to make the city look much ‘tech-like’.

electricians were replaced by robots as well as carpenters, construction workers and anything to do with manual labour was all taken by the government.

less money to spend on people.

and the worse this was that they left those humans that had tech parts to rot away.

but they came back stronger than ever and nearly half the city as cyborgs while the other half is either the government or innocent people, like you and it’s literally the government vs the people and cyborgs.

so it’s fine :)

now an episode is when a cyborg system starts failing whether it’s because of heat, cold, water, electricity-- they’re also machines and some machines deal with some problems better than others.

your brother’s right eye is a bitch with a built in voice system.

yes, his right eye talks.

when the AI eye (lmao) starts overwriting itself, the cells in his body are so used to the machine in his body that they trust it and what happens when the body trusts something?

in Chanyeol’s case, his cells start attacking each other and that’s about it.

it sounds awful, which it is, but instead of getting sick he just gets super angry because little miss right eyeball decided to play peek-a-boo with evil and make him want to kill everyone he sees.

you peaked around the corner and walked into the living and saw all the guys laying on the floor with some half asleep.

the guys, EXO, a group meaning… something something organism were technically always friends and just got closer when they all learned they were cyborgs,

“his episode stopped?” you asked anyone.

“mh-hm.”

“and you just sedated him?”

“fucking take it or leave it,” Sehun complained with a groan and sat up, looking at the bag you have in between your fingers. “did you get everything?”

“yeah, I did,” you shook the bag and shuffled your way to the next room, “Baek, Myeon, catch a cure or catch a case, pick one.”

usually, you’d already have the serum already done and ready because you’re pretty smart and figured out how to reverse the effects with the help of Junmyeon and Baekhyun of course, the former with one with a half of einstein’s brain and the other half of an AI and the other one with built in sound-chips and fingers able to attract any metal at will like magnets.

best team to make a cure with^

making the entire serum is actually pretty easy, however, it just takes an entirety to cool down and if not giving at the right temperature, or at least close to it, Chanyeol dies.

fun.

and of course, right when the cure is about to be ready, your brother wakes up.

and it’s not him speaking.

it’s that fucking right eyes.

a loud crash comes from the living room, at which you three snap your heads towards the source of the noise. you immediately look at Baekhyun who cringes at whatever he’s hearing.

“what is it?”

“First off, that fucking voice is annoying and two,” the platinum silver male squints before pulling you to the side just in time to see a chair fly into the room and travel right where you were. “that eye has a vendetta against you.”

“hUh?”

as if your luck couldn’t get any better, that disgusting high ass voice rings through the compound, “come out here you punny bitch, I want another eye, a real one this time ha ha!”

“oh my gosh she sounds like Yumeko but like… computer voice Yumeko with reverb.”

“who?” you brushed Junmyeon off, “don’t worry about it, figure out a way to cool that thing down, you’re smart, figure it out. And Baek, I need ears so come with me.”

you just ran all the way to the living room while Baekhyun was helping you avoid anything she threw at you, including Jongin’s body.

when you arrived, you cringed really really hard, “you will catch me doing many things but you will never fucking catch me looking at that.” you gagged. “oh my gosh why is that fucking eye out of his fucking socket!?”

“It’s sci-fi!”

you screamed at the black haired male with a terrified expression, “when was this ever fiction?!”

“not the time!” Jongdae yelled at Sehun who’s finger had turned into a flamethrower.

a flamethrower.

Sehun is the least out of your fucking concerns but a flamethrower.

��we aren’t burning my brother!”

“oh my,” his voice made you want to hurl, not only was your brother giving you this really creepy smile but he sounded like your favorite anime protagonist. “she’s really cute when she’s mad!”

“oh shit.”

oh shit is right Jongdae, oh shit is right.

you don’t remember what happened but your eyes saw red, oops.

you remember saying something along the lines of, “you think I’m pretty when mad? well love, I’m about to be fucking gorgeous!”

and suddenly you were on his back bashing his head in with your fists.

which you know hurts because when you woke up, your knuckles were red and sore and Chanyeol had a gauze on the back of his head and a mild concussion.

apparently Junmyeon was able to cool down the serum just when you were about to kill your own brother because the AI in his eye called you ‘cute when mad’.

you were raised by that man, what was he expecting?

WC, Chapter 3

Wrong Conclusions Chapter 3 : Sudden Beastly Strength

With Robin's motorcycle, Cyborg's car, and Starfire and Raven having the ability to fly, it didn't take long for the four Teen Titans to get Downtown. The only problem was that once they got there, there were no signs of their pale villain, anymore. They got pointed in various general directions from the people who claimed they had seen the attacker, but it took them almost fifteen minutes to find any form of actual trouble.

Down, right outside Chinatown, a battle was taking place. There were sounds of windows being shattered and of various objects being thrown into things, followed by load roars. All the Titans looked at each other in horror before bolting towards the scene, praying that no one had been hurt all too badly, and that they weren't too late to save any lives. Just as they skidded to a stop and Robin prepared to give his age old battle cry of 'Titans, Go!', they all stopped to stare in pure shock, their voices escaping them.

It was indeed the villain that had been reported about on the news. It was a very tall, extremely pale male wearing a long, flowing black cape. He wasn't just pale; in fact, he was paper white, but his hair was black and slicked back. His golden eyes appeared completely hollow and void of any emotion other than light amusement, and as he smirked, two fangs that reached to his chin were revealed. He looked like a perfect person to play a vampire in a movie, other than his outfit choice. It wasn't medieval, but rather almost futuristic. He wore a tight body suit that lessened and flowed out as it reached his knees, and knee-high boots. He wore gloves as well, everything in a jet black. But he wore belts everywhere: dozens up to his gloves, three on his waist, and four in an x-shape on either leg, as well as a collar around his neck. Each belt had a different design and different metal studding going across it.

But the vampire-looking villain was not what shocked the Titans; they had seen considerably stranger. What shocked them was the fact that a moment after seeing the bad-guy, a green cheetah came running at him and leaped into the air, turning into an armadillo and curling into a ball as it did so, nailing the baddy right in the stomach. The villain was sent back, right into a wall, while the armadillo flew in the opposite direction, transforming into a green-skinned and green-haired boy with fangs who adorned a purple and black outfit. His silvery gloves and boots shined slightly in the sunlight as he took the shape closest to human that he could, straightening himself up as he did so, a prominent glare in his dark eyes. Beast Boy looked very fierce and very determined, which left the four other Titans speechless and confused.

Beast Boy did not stop there, though. He leaped into the air and transformed into a small hummingbird, and hurled himself right towards the vampire look-alike. Right before he would have connected with the albino's face, Beast Boy transformed into a very large sea-turtle, causing the nose of the villain to shatter as he smashed right into the man's face.

"Aaugh-!" The villain fell to his knees, shaking violently and clasping his nose in agony. Beast Boy fell to the ground in his turtle shape, landing on his back. Knowing he could not move, he transformed into a gorilla and leaped to his feet, instead. With one final snarl, Beast Boy knocked the villain into the nearest wall for a second time with a sickening crack.

It was this that finally got one of the Titans to make a sound, and it was Starfire that did so. She let out a loud gasp when the villain crashed into the wall, her eyes widening in horror. For a moment, all the Titans simply gaped in horror, thinking Beast Boy had killed him. To their partial-relief, though, the villain opened his eyes and glared at Beast Boy. "We aren't finished, Changeling," he gasped out, his voice slightly gargled due to the blood from his nose, before throwing his hand into the air. A lightning bolt to crashed from the sky and hit his open palm, causing dust to lift up around the entire area from the huge static surge. Beast Boy ran at him, seemingly attempting to prevent this, but by the time the gorilla reached the wall the villain had been leaning against, the vampire look-alike was gone.

Beast Boy transformed back to his human-like shape, growling in rage, staring at the empty spot amidst the cloud of dust. He had let that jerk just get away! That vampire-wannabe had hurt at least five girls, and Beast Boy had let him just get AWAY! No wonder Raven preferred Robin over him. Robin would never have let such a man escape...

"Whoah-!" Beast Boy suddenly felt the muscles around in his thighs give way and cause him to collapse to the ground. He had transformed far too many times, and it had drained too much of his energy. Beast Boy had been in such a blind rage, he had not noticed how much energy he had actually wasted.

"Beast Boy!" Starfire flew up to him quickly, the other Titans right behind her. "Are you damaged?" She placed a hand on his shoulder, looking worriedly at her friend.

"I'm fine," Beast Boy panted out, lightly bushing Starfire's hand away. He was thankful for her worry, more than she could have ever known, but he felt defeated and didn't need anyone touching him at that very moment. He had only fought the vampire look-alike on his way to try and prove to himself that he was every bit as strong as Robin, only to find that he had been wrong. Robin was the better man after all, no matter how he tried to prove that truth wrong.

"Dude, that was amazing!" Cyborg said with a metallic hand on his head in disbelief. "BB, since when are you THAT powerful? If your evil half fought like that, I wouldn't've been able to kick his butt!"

"I have to say, I'm just as surprised," Robin said in an awe-filled voice, looking over the damage done to the area from their fight. It looks like the battle with Trigon didn't only effect Starfire...

"Yeah, but I still lost!" Beast Boy growled bitterly. "I couldn't stop him, and now we have some crazy killer on the loose. Augh, I'm such a LOSER!" He threw his elbow into the air, wanting to smash his fist into the cement beneath him, but suddenly found that his arm was no longer under his control. He opened his eyes and looked at his gloved hand, noting that it was glowing black with Raven's aura.

"Beast Boy, you fought better than you ever have before. If he wasn't able to teleport like that, you would have won," Raven stated in a mildly-irritated tone. "Now, stop being an idiot. Your body's exhausted - and breaking your hand won't help anyone."

Beast Boy wanted to say something happy, or at least sarcastic back to Raven. Something like 'Well, if I get a cast, I might be able to hit him over the head with it. For all we know, that's his one weakness!'. But Beast Boy couldn't. As the Changeling looked up at Raven, he found his voice caught in his throat. The realizations he had made the night before were still haunting him.

"...You're right," He finally said in complete defeat, feeling Raven let go of his hand. Only she did not do this out of relief; she did so out of sudden shock.

"...What was that?" Cyborg asked, unable to believe it any more than Raven. He was sure he'd misheard.

"She's right. Letting my anger out on the ground isn't going to do anyone any good," Beast Boy let out a sheepish laugh, turning away from Raven to look towards the damage he had caused. Smashed windows, broken walls, demolished signs, scathed pavement... "I did enough damage as it is, anyway. I guess I really need to control myself better, huh?" He gave a forced smile, looking back to his friends. The smile became even more strained as he saw Raven silently land beside a thoroughly-confused Robin.

"Your control is most impressive as it is, Beast Boy," Starfire said, causing Beast Boy to remember she was right beside him. She was smiling proudly, as though he were Silkie who had learned not to eat Cyborg's bolts. "The loss you have suffered was not of your accord, and you should find pride in what you have accomplished."

Beast Boy blinked for a moment. Starfire always had the nicest things to say but he never really...took any notice to them before. She was usually complimenting everyone, but this was one of the rare times he had fought on his own. For some reason, her words got through to him, even if Raven's, Robins, and Cyborg's had not.

"...Yeah," He said, finally able to muster a true grin, his lower fang protruding slightly. "Well, I did some major bad-guy bashing today!" Beast Boy said proudly, standing up and beginning to sound like his usual self. "I say we all go and celebrate!"

"Oh, glorious!" Starfire said excitedly, clapping her hands together. "May I suggest the pizza and the night of frightening movies?"

"I... Don't see why not," Robin finally said, scratching the back of his head. For a moment, he could have sworn Beast Boy had been on the verge of a break down, but that didn't seem to be the case now. He, of course, wanted to search the area for clues, see what had happened, why this villain had appeared from nowhere, what he had done. But with how Beast Boy was acting, he wasn't willing to try and force anything yet. If he was happy again, it was best to keep that up.

"Aw, yeah!" Cyborg cried, punching his metallic fist into the air. "BB and I can rent the movie. We should get that new one about the vampires..."

"Augh, no more vampires," Beast Boy muttered, getting a sickened look. "Drinking blood's even sicker than eating meat, dude!"

Cyborg laughed a bit, as Starfire floated up into the air, her face filled with glee. "I shall bring us the pizza which we may consume!"

All four other members twitched in unison at that idea, Raven being the first to speak up with a nervous expression. "Uh, Star? Maybe I should come with you to order...Your tastes always are a lot different from ours."

"Wonderful, friend Raven!" Starfire said, just as joyfully, watching Raven float up into the air beside her.

Robin laughed a bit, watching Cyborg and Beast Boy walking off, and Starfire and Raven beginning to float away. "I guess I'll try and research a bit on this new guy while you're all getting ready, then," Robin said to himself, walking calmly to his motorcycle, more than ready to take some private time studying clues after Starfire and Beast Boy's strange behavior that day.

While Prohyas and Nohyas deal with... some things I’ll tell you about this week’s Mighty Magiswords premiere!

Hoppus the Hunted & Transylbabies Premieres MONDAY at 4:00 PM The bunny sorceress, Danelda, has been on the search for Hoppus so she can take him back to their rabbit village, but Hoppus is too enamored by Kablammica and her broccoli soup to ever go back! A mission to babysit Snowmanpire babies in Transylbiria leads Vambre and Prohyas to attack the local monster townsfolk in misguided attempts to keep the Snowbabies safe. Kyle’s Notes: These were originally scheduled to air over the weekend, but instead, you get them as a Monday double shot! The way they used to air TV shows back when I was a child! In Hoppus the Hunted, not only do we get a glimpse into Hoppus’ backstory and meet Danelda, played by Steven Universe’s very own Michaela Dietz, but we get an incredible vocal performance by Dana Gould as Norman. You can cut the tension in act 1 with a knife! Then in Transylbabies, ever since the baby Snowmanpires showed up way back in “The Curse of Dummystein”, I wanted to do a story about them. This super cartoony episode shows us a lot of new Transylberian creatures plus some tributes to Big Daddy Roth and Bob Clampett. ---- Bureaucrophobia & Continue?

Premieres TUESDAY at 4:00 PM Teri Gargantuan is in trouble and her spider kids hire the Warriors to save their mom from a mad mercenary spider hunter. The Mysterious Hooded Woman hires the Warriors to retrieve the Orb of Sphericity from a temple in Galacton. The odd thing is, this temple has save points! When the Warriors are defeated, they respawn, but Vambre remembers what happened and Prohyas does not. Kyle’s Notes: Another double shot! First, in Bureaucrophobia, we find out how annoying red tape can be in a futuristic world like Galacton. Also, the incredible Pete Holmes returns as Teri (last seen in “Stairways and Spiders” and Fred Stoller and Brian Posehn appear as Teri’s now-adult children. Please enjoy my Bobcat Goldthwait impression. Then in “Continue”, a story pitched to me by John Berry back in the 5-minute episode days-- We have some real fun with our video game roots and see how our heroes deal with save points and respawning. I always think of VVVVVV when I watch this one. The effervescent Jack McBrayer returns in this one. You should’ve seen his reaction when I asked him to do a British accent... ---- Hunting for Scavengers Premieres WEDNESDAY at 4:00 PM When an impish weather gnome sends the Warriors and friends on a competitive quest, the drive to win threatens the group's fight against a conjured monster.

Kyle’s Notes: We see how the Warriors, Witch Way, and Neddy the Mallet all handle a situation differently, but it’s really Witch Way that gets to steal the spotlight. Victor Courtright (the same guy who storyboarded last week’s slime fight) joins the voice cast as Mister Flummocks: Student of Life.

---- Get That BORFL! Premieres THURSDAY at 4:00 PM A restful chill day for the Warriors and Princess Zange in the Royal Spa gets upended when a cute little Borfl runs amok throughout Castle Rhyboflaven, with the Warriors resorting to Magiswords to thwart the critter.

Kyle’s Notes: This is basically our “Tom and Jerry” episode, and the good folks at Inspedia really turn up the squash and stretch adapting Mike & Gabe’s manic storyboard. The Borfl started as a little guy I would draw in my sketchbook from time to time. Rikki “Gir” Simons plays the Borfl because it’s funny when he screams things.

---- Unconventional Dolphinism Premieres FRIDAY at 4:00 PM Since Prohyas is taking Dolphin Magisword to the Dolphin Convention, Vambre asks Witchy Simone to join her on a search for the Narwhal Magisword, angering a deadly Sealdebeast guard that lures dolphins away from the convention in the process.

Kyle’s Notes: Another one of my favorites this season, and definitely one of our best-animated episodes. The adventures in the Dolphin Convention are only half the fun as we also get to see what it’s like when Vambre and Witchy Simone team up. There’s a song sequence in this one I’m very fond of. Also, Man Fish screams a fake French phrase that my grandfather made up, and Bonnie Gordon of the Library Bards and Shield of Tomorrow joins our cast as some characters I don’t want to spoil here.

---- Letter Wronging Campaign Premieres SATURDAY at 4:00 PM

While Vambre takes a well-needed break, Prohyas and Noville try to solve a mystery involving letters disappearing from books! Can they get this done without calling Vambre and ruining her day off?

Kyle’s Notes: Prohyas and Noville team up and we get to spend some time with Biblia Tick and Monkey Chunks, too! It’s hard to talk about this particular episode without giving stuff away, so I’ll just say that it also introduces a character you’ll be seeing more of down the line.

---- The Saga of Robopiggeh! Premieres SUNDAY at 4:00 PM *HALF HOUR SPECIAL!*

A botched rescue attempt damages their robot pal, RoboPiggeh, and Vambre and Prohyas must battle the evil cyborg, Tara-Byte, in Galacton, who is determined to dismantle their broken pal for being obsolete. Kyle’s Notes: This is it! Our first two-part special, and our first Legendary Magisword! Magimobile collectors, I think this may be your only chance to get this one! I’m proud of this special and I’m happy you’re all finally going to see it. It features Maria Bamford as Tara Byte because apparently, I like casting super nice people as villains. There’s another special guest star as well, but I don’t want to spoil it just yet.
