Prologue
It was almost nine o'clock on a beautiful, crystal-skied September morning. It was Tuesday, and Beast Boy had been up since around five thirty watching his daily dose of classic cartoons.
A news alert jolted him out of his daze.
"...a hijacked plane has crashed into the World Trade Center Twin Towers, killing hundreds, possibly thousands. We will update throughout the day..."
The cartoon flipped back onto the screen as though nothing had happened. Wile E. was chasing Road Runner as though no tragedy had taken place. Road Runner fled swiftly, beeping as though he were enjoying it.
Beast Boy just stared, unable to comprehend the tragedy. His mind repeated over and over what the reporter had said, but it wouldn't sink in. His parents were there. It couldn't be true. It couldn't be true. It couldn't be true.
But it was, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Author's Note: Okay so this is controversial! This was stuck in my head for a long time so I'm going to write a fic! If you don't want to read a 9/11 fic you don't have to. I'm not holding a gun to your head or a knife to your throat. This is really the only 9/11 part anyways. Hope you enjoy! Read and Review! Constructive Criticism! Flames accepted, although I'd appreciate it if you didn't flame it just because I said it was fine with me! Thanks!
