I'm not a monster.
I don't own the teen titans, any DC comics characters etc.
When Mento took Beast boy home, dr. Emil always wanted him. He knew that the boy may bring him fame and money. The serum for sakuita, if he will find it… He just have to get that boy, but how to make it, if Mento will never allow him to get the boy? Find out.
Prologue
- Oooh – Robot man sighed gently – The kid is so adorable. – He petted little Beast boys head. The boy only smiled a little. It was just few weeks since Mento and Rita decided to take him. Truly they'd been thinking about adopting little boy, but Steve still didn't want to tell that to the kid. He wanted to know some more about that weird child, but it seems he's a normal boy, like lots of others. Well… He could've said that looking at him playing with Robot man.
- Woow! – The boys eyes grew, when Cliff showed him new toy. Beast boy had only two toys. First Teddy bear made by Rita and now Robot man made him by himself airplane. Of course, not real one, but Garfields imagination made it real for sure. Mento smiled.
- That kid needs someone. Moreover, with his powers he may be useful in team. If I'll bring him up in correct way, he may become great hero one day. Unfortunately with his unique look he may have troubles to find normal friends.. And what family will ever want a child like that? Expect me and Rita… - His thinking was stopped by Larry.
- Negative man? – He asked – Is something wrong?
- Emil came with visit. He want to see the boy.
- Mento smiled. – Sure. Let him come in. Beast boy! – He rised his voice like in an order. Beast boy unwillingly stopped playing with Cliff.
- Yes, sir?
- We're gonna have a guest. Be nice and act your age, Understand?
- Yes, Mento sir…
- It's my old friend, I told him about you. He works in S.T.A.R labs. Be nice to him. – Beast boy only nodded. But that visit stayed in BB's memory forever…

- Oh… So that's Garfield, right?
- Yes… Mister… - Beast boy looked at older man with brown hair and beard. His eyes was also brown, but Changeling saw something more. Madness. He stepped back.
- Beast boy, sit here please and be nice. – Mento's firmly tone made boy break his fear. He sat, but weird guest sat just next to him.
- So you are Garfield… Your parents made that serum, right? – He was looking into boys emerald eyes with obsession. Beast boy knew about this. He didn't trust that man. But others seems that they didn't noticed anything.
- Emil.. Please, the kid is still scared after losing his parents, try to be more sensitive… - Rita hugged Garfield gently. He hugged back and he seems to don't want to let her go, or maybe don't want her to let him go. – Garfield. That's enough – She smiled. Beast boy ears fallen.
- Yeah, I understand… But… isn't that important to know everything. I can check him, You know?
- Check? – Asked Steve pretty interested.
- You know… His heath… is everything is all and ok. So small boy, it would be bad to loose him… - He put his hand on Beast Boys cheek. That obsession again… and…
-OUCH!
- Beast boy! - Mento yelled, but it was too late. Poor changeling ran away. – I'm sorry Emil, he never did that before… There was a postman and even one miss from shop touched him… And he smiled then, I really don't know why he bit you, but I'll talk to him…
- I don't think it's a good idea, Steve. That boy is dangerous. It's not a normal child. Look at it… - He showed Mento his bleeding hand. – Aggression. I just have touched him.
- Maybe he was scared. You know, somebody new in house… - But now Mento was wondering. That boy wasn't normal, that's for sure. Truly he was there only for a little time. How could he know for sure if one night he won't try to kill them all?
- Just give him to me. I'll make some tests. You know me Steve, I just want to help. That's a poor boy aggrieved by fate… But maybe… Maybe it's not a boy anymore. He may be monster Mento. We don't know for sure how exactly he was CREATED. – His voice raised at the last part. That made Mento think even more.
- Created… Is that possible that Beast boy was made by someone? He might be a weapon, or experiment which got out of hand and escaped…Maybe he wasn't even a human… - Mento really didn't know what to do.
- I can find the number, some test…
- What kind of tests…? – Steve looked at him. He still wasn't sure. Emil knew, that he have to choose his words correctly to get the boy.
- You know… I won't hurt him. We know each other right? For you I do everything without any pain and if everything will be all right, I'll just give you kid back. – That sounded reasonably.
- Ok… First I'll go and talk to him,, after that I'll bring him to your lab. – Doctor smiled. It was madness. Real madness. But Mento saw it only in a second.
- Ok then. I'll be waiting for him.
- Right…

- Beast boy? – Mento asked . The boy curled in the corner of his room. – Beast boy, come here right now! - Garfield looked at him. His eyes were full of tears. – Explain yourself. – He ordered.
- I… He… …
- Beast boy. – Mento hunkered down to make himself on BB's size. – That, what you've done was very bad, you understand? Why did you bit him? – Boy's ears dropped but he finally spoke.
- He was scary…
- And that's why you bit him?
- Yes…
Mento sighed.
- Listen… You have to understand that you cannot bite people just like that. He may scared you, but … He's really good person and my friend. I was talking with him about you. He want to make you some tests.
- T-tests? – Beast boy stepped back.
- Yes. We want to find out… Some things.
- Can't you… Do this … test here? – Beast boy asked. No… he begged. Mento saw it. The boy was terrible scared. – Please, Mento… I don't want… no by him…

Emil hit the phone. He had a little phone talk with Mento few seconds ago and now he was in real fury. He almost had him… Almost. Moreover, he was sure that he will get him. Why Mento decided to make that test by himself so sudden?! But he can't help it now. He'll find a way. He will… One day for sure.
