"GET OFF ME!" Beast Boy screamed at the top of his lungs and used both his arms to launch the robot that was stuck on his back to the other side of the room in complete anger.
He gasped when he looked down at his hands – they were his normal human ones. Turning around he saw how far he threw the robot. It was far and destroyed into different pieces that helped the other Titans used the parts to attack the robots they were stuck with.
"This can't be happening," Beast Boy said, feeling the fear that was going to start to form.
The Beast inside was trying to break free. It's been years since he first came, but Beast Boy still didn't learn how to control the raging monster that lived inside. He couldn't unleash it with the thousands of Titans fighting in the building he was in. Who knows how the ending would form.
Beast Boy looked out in the room him and his family were in with the rest of the Titans. Robin had called another internationally team meeting to help defeat the room of robots that somehow kept appearing through some vortex machinery someone built. No one has been able to find out who was in charge of this army because they were all busy trying to stop the robots from leaving the place.
But how to stop so many robots that keep coming out of the dimensional hole that no one is able to get close to, to destroy? Are they going to spend the rest of their lives killing off all these robots?
No more.
I hear the angels talking talking talking
Now I'm a dead man walking walking walking
I hear the angels talking talking talking
Now I'm a dead man
He kept looking back and forth from the vortex and the room that was tearing his friends and family apart. The Titans were trying their complete best to win this battle, but they knew they wouldn't be able to battle the robots for long. Eventually they'll tire out and drop to their knees. Some of them already were to take a breath in before jumping back up.
But Beast Boy couldn't stand to look at this anymore. He clenched his fists and stood up straight. If there was any perfect time to prove himself, this was the perfect moment.
I hear the angels talking talking talking
Now I'm a dead man walking walking walking
I hear the angels talking talking talking
Now I'm a dead man
His elf ears vibrated with the whispers from his brain that sent shocks for him to build his courage up. He wanted to know he can do this quickly and hopefully painless that way no one would notice what he was about to do.
Unfortunately he spoke too soon.
Beast Boy turned to face the red vortex, but he couldn't move towards it. He looked down and saw Raven's hands in fact where holding onto his arm stopping him from going anywhere.
I see you standing there but you're already gone
All Beast Boy could do was look at Raven's face and see the complete fear in her eyes. He tried to look away, but turned his head right back to her. He couldn't stand to look away. This was the first time he saw Fear in a long time. The hurt in her eyes, her lips quivering on deciding what to say to him. It destroyed Beast Boy so hard. The two of them couldn't say anything even with the chaos happening around them.
"Don't do this," Raven finally whispered, gripping her grasp on Beast Boy's arm.
"How did you know what I'm going to do?" Beast Boy asked in shock.
"Remind yourself who you're talking to."
I'm holding your hand but you're barely holding on
Beast Boy took his free hand and placed it on top of hers. "I have to do this. For you, Raven." He pulled her hands off and cupped them into his. "Raven...I will search forever until I find you again."
Raven gasped. "Please, think your stupid plan over because you're sounding ridiculous."
"Take care of everyone for me." Beast Boy had to feel her hands against his cheek one last time. "Always remember...I won't give up. Even if I have to go through a thousand years to see you I will."
"I won't let you do this."
I'm kissing your lips but it just don't feel the same
Beast Boy's eyes only lit green and Raven felt him beginning to morph into an animal. Before the phase was complete Beast Boy grabbed Raven's face causing her hood to fall and had kissed her right before he dropped to four legs in his cheetah form.
"Beast Boy, please!" Raven screamed, trying to grab him, but he raced off. "SOMEBODY STOP BEAST BOY!"
Am I dead there now, left living with the blame
Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire from their parts of the room had stopped with their fighting to see what was going on. No one ever heard Raven scream that loud, so when she did that meant something serious was really happening. The gang couldn't find out what Beast Boy was going, but when seeing his cheetah form and him racing to the vortex gave them enough clues to add up what he was doing.
"BEAST BOY!" Robin had screamed this time, throwing his hands up right before getting knocked out with the villain he was fighting with.
Starfire tried to aim a starblast to cut his running short, but she also had gotten smacked down from the air and hit the ground hard, causing her to dig deep under. She was left unconscious for a few minutes from the sudden hit.
Cyborg had his canon arm ready for blasting, but instead the villains started gathering around him and he had to use his focus on them that way they wouldn't kill him. Beast Boy was also his main priority, but there was just so many monsters attacking Cyborg they all piled on top of him.
"I'm sorry, BB," Cyborg said to himself, using every bit of his energy and strength left to lift himself off his knees with the pile of monsters on him and tried getting a clear shot of Beast Boy still running past everything and everyone in his path. He used his red robotic eye to aim, and when he was good with his shot the blue cannon ray shot right out and was heading to Beast Boy.
Raven couldn't do anything, but cover her mouth. She didn't want things to end like this where her own teammates had to hurt one to stop them from doing a stupid move. And what Beast Boy was going to do was pretty stupid.
Raven and Cyborg knew this shot couldn't have missed for it was flying so fast and it seemed that Beast Boy didn't notice, but at the last minute before it his him, Beast Boy had jerked to the right and, thus caused Cyborg's ray just to hit against the empty wall.
Oh I hear the angels talking talking talking
Now I'm a dead man walking walking walking
"NOOO!" Raven screamed right as Beast Boy turned back into human and jumped into the hole without looking or giving a second thought about it.
Just then the sudden shock had hit Beast Boy in a fierce pain and he screamed out, causing the vortex to go out of balance and sending shock waves to the monsters that had followed out to freak out. Everyone stopped fighting to look at the strange happenings that were going on as the Titans West all ran to the vortex as close as they could.
Beast Boy's eyes shot right open, his eyes lit dark green as the red light jumped like a lightening bolt through his entire body. Hands appeared from the vortex to surround Beast Boy's body, taking him as their prisoner.
Already broken, already gone
Already know you're moving on
I'm a breathing, talking
Dead man, walking
Beast Boy was able to find the strength to lift his head up to look out the vortex. Everyone tried their hardest to break through the bubble shield the vortex created so no one could break him through. Beast Boy saw Raven standing there frozen in her spot watching Beast Boy go through what she should have been going through to save the world.
Already see it, in your face
Already someone, in my place
I'm a breathing, talking
Dead man, walking
Beast Boy had to look back up again for he couldn't take the pain. It was so much that he started screaming at the top of his lungs, trying to clench up into a ball, but he felt like his parts were being pulled apart from his torso.
The building started shaking and the roof was breaking apart. The Titans looked up and raced out as fast as they could, but Raven still stood by the vortex. Her hands were glowing black; she was trying to remember the spell to switch places, but with so much happening she couldn't concentrate.
When she did remember Cyborg had came back into the room to lift her up and ran out. Raven looked over Cyborg's shoulders at Beast Boy destroying everything around him and the angel fire wings that had appeared on his back stretching from one wall to the other. Then a red light came from Beast Boy's core, spread through the entire room, and then the building, that not only destroyed the place, but everyone knew it killed Beast Boy too.

Now I'm a dead man walking walking walking
I hear the angels talking talking talking
Now I'm a dead man
Suddenly, Beast Boy woke up in a white room. There was nothing around him, but emptiness. He jerked away and heard an echo from his voice, but when he looked around he couldn't understand where he was.
"Hello?" his echo called out, but with no answer.
Beast Boy ran is hands up and down his body – things seemed like they were the same. He was in his uniform and no body parts were ripped off. What could that mean had happened? Beast Boy knew for a fact he jumped into the vortex and the building did collapse on him.
Wait.
Does this mean he was dead?
Beast Boy tried looking around again to see if at least someone would show up. An angel, a god, SOMEONE.
The loneliness got to him. He closed his eyes and thought of the first scenery he could think of. Immediately his surroundings changed and he opened his eyes, relieved to find himself where he wanted to be.
We're in the same room just one million miles away
He was in her room. The room that would have been mistaken by a library with the books in every corner and the statues that stood tall. It was dark, like it normally is, but something felt off in the darkness today. Raven liked her stuff to have a peaceful emotion to it, but there was something different in the air. Beast Boy could feel it.
With all these books around but we ain't go two words to say
"Oh, no," Beast Boy whispered as his eyes got big. He knew what happened.
Raven was not in here in her normal moods. She was in here mourning. She was actually on her bed with her head low as it could be holding back tears from running down her face.
Am I a dead man now, left living with the shame?
Beast Boy slowly tipped toed closed to her bed and saw in fact she was breathing heavy. Her cape was stretched out around her bed and she was right in the middle. Her hair was covering her face, so Beast Boy couldn't see how destroyed she looked. Her arms were shaking, barely being able to hold her up anymore with the weakness running through her. The last time Raven looked this broken was when her heart broke years ago.
Could it be?
Could Beast Boy have broken her heart?
Already broken, already gone
Already know you're moving on
I'm a breathing, talking
Dead man, walking
Beast Boy tried to reach his arm out to her, but then he felt someone grab onto him and pull him away from Raven and her room. He appeared back to the white room that he woke up from before and someone turned him around.
"Who are you?" Beast Boy asked.
"Garfield Logan," The man crossed his arms over his chest. "You're my next appointment."
