"Phat Acceptance" by Jess Mowry - Cultural stereotypes

Started "Skins" by Joseph Bruchae (Native American story)

"His creative writing teacher last year had said that a good writer had to 'observe'...there hadn't been a lot to observe that might have inspired an original story." (Mowry 2)

"'Are we gonna learn about Aryans? Or just that 'multicultural' crap?" (Mowry 10)

All the characters have met and are out to meet the leader.

My favorite lines:
"This guy looks like a sword and baby toe had a baby." (Starks 24)

"Is she ready?"
"Very close."
"Who, uh, who's that little one?"
"The evil king."
And what are we going to do to the evil king?"
"Cut his eyes. Eat his heart. Burn his family."
"She's ready. You have one year." (Starks 33)

Beast Boy and Raven reveal their powers. Slade kidnapped them. He and the "Director" are trying to see how to expose their powers. The reader can see how much they care about each other. Robin and the Sister are still searching out Beast Boy and Raven.

Raven left the motel in search for Slade. Beast Boy goes out for a walk, gets kidnapped and sedated. Raven is at the intersection where she is suppose to meet Slade, on "Robin St.". Someone is following her other than her Foster Sister and it's Damian (aka Robin). Raven gets kidnapped. Beast Boy is in the van. "Robin",the Foster Sister follow the van that kidnapped Raven. Raven and Beast Boy have their wrists tied.

Raven is on her way to meet Trigon but meets Beast Boy. Beast Boy is kind enough to help her out, and he just exposed a bit of his powers. She hesitates to take care of him because of her trust issues. Meanwhile, Raven's foster-sister is following her.
