Night enclosed on the streets of Jump City, darkness stealing every bit of light that wasn't artificial. A chilling pre spring breeze coasted through the blackened city, pushing away those who wished to stay outside, to their homes, to safety. Away from the wind, In the cold darkened labratory, in one of the many cages stacked one on top of eachother, sat a young beagle puppy. Unable to sleep, the metal fencing of the cage hurt any position he tried.Scared by everything around him, everything he heard, everything he had heard. The panic'd and agonizing screams of his brothers and other animals torture replayed in his mind again and again, ripping away any chance of blocking out this place for at least a few hours. The stench of death from the other room across the hall that held his dead family andmany othersfound its way under the crack of the door, stinging the puppy's nose, choking him almost. The canine practically embraced it at this point, looking down toward his scars on his chest and forpaws from previous "trials and errors", the humans that ran this building were not humans to him, they were the one and only thing he could ever think of as truly evil. Did they not hear the begging and the pleading of the others to be set free, to not do this to them anymore, to not take their family members away from them?

The door opened and a light was into the dog's eyes by a flashlight held by one of the workers in the lab. The puppy did everything he could to back away from the man, yet the 12" by 12" cage did not give him enough room to begin with, let alone hide. Finally looking towards the two footed being, he gave up, hoping this would be the end, that they would put him through not more, all he wanted to do at this moment was join his family, whatever the cost. As the man picked him out of the cage, the dog noticed something moving behind the man. Whining as to be let down to get away from whatever that thing was in the darkness the puppy was put on the floor. The worker heard distinct footsteps behind him, he turned to locate where they came from.

All that was heard was a piercing scream and the rustling of cage locks.

A blinking red light on the Jump City map alerted the siren in Titans Tower.

The titans soon arrived at the location where the alarm had gone off. Getting out of the T car, they each made their way inside, turning the lights on as they entered. Beastboy had already sensed something wasn't right when they apporached this building, there was just something that bothered him about it but he couldn't tell what it was. They went up a floor of the two story lab, Beastboy stopped, his realization of where he was caused him to shake. Raven turned to him,

"Beastboy, come on."

"I can't go in there." He said in a shaky voice, the reality of his location sent a chill through his spine.

"You know we don't split up, come on."

"Raven please, don't make me go in there." The overwelming fear in his voice caused Raven to look at the sign above the two doors. ANIMAL TESTING SECT 122, She immediatly understood why he wouldn't budge. Taking Beastboy into this place was basically like taking a rape victim to the perpatrator's home. She knew they would need him to track what was or still was in that room. She placed a hand on his shoulder.

"look, I know this will be hard for you, but just be strong and we'll be out of here soon okay?" Beastboy looked into her eyes, He knew she wasn't one to push people into uncomfortable places without there being a good reason at least. Sghing deeply, he nodded and pushed the double doors open. Once inside, he began to shiver. it was at least five or six degrees colder in this room than in the hallway. The glimmering metal instruments and tubes on the tables against the walls gave a grave idea of what went on in this facility. The others paced around the room searching for pieces of evidence that might lead them somewhere. Beastboy ran his fingers over the miniture straps built into the table to secure and restrain the animals being tested on. Robin looked over at him, hoping this wasn't going to be too much for him, he hadn't been sure if Beastboy should be exposed to this.

"Beastboy, you doing alright?" He was motionless for a minute, his expression unreadable, though something obviously going through his mind.

"I'm fine Robin." The leader decided to leave it at that, he turned to walk over to Cyborg and Starfire, had he not turned, he would have noticed the small tear that rolled off the green boy's cheek. He brushed it away and looked to the side facing the cages. they had all been torn open, the locks slashed off, every single one had been emptied.

Starfire was walking past one of the cage doors when her foot crunched on some kind of glass. She looked down and saw what looked to be a broken kind of tube.

"Robin, please come look." He knelt down and inspected what she had stepped on.

"These are the kind of casing for smoke bombs but they don't look like any I've ever seen." He took a few fragments and put them in a compartment in his belt. He looked around the room when his eyes found what appeared to be blood that had seeped under the closet door.

"Beastboy! open the door net to you!" Beastboy pulled the door open to find something he'd wish he hadn't. Hanging by the various knives and other lab instruments that impaled him to the back wall, was a lone man in a white surgical coat. His blood formed a very large puddle at the base of his feet. The titans were frozen for a second. They had seen plenty of bodies before, though, none put through torture like this.

There was a message above his head written in the blood he'd spilled.

The acts of the devil shall not end if the devil goes unseen.

Starfire screamed and buried her head in the boy wonder's shoulder, cyborg had to turn away before he vomited, even Raven had to look away. Beastboy didn't though, he seemed fixated on what was before him. Raven tried to go into his thoughts to get an idea of what he could be thinking at that moment, but there was...nothing. No imagry, not sounds, nothing.

"Beastboy, BEASTBOY!" He finally turned his head away from the body to acknowledge Robin.

"its time to go everybody, we need to give information out to the police and a warning out that there is a killer or killers on the loose in the city." The team exited out the doors and back out to the Tcar to radio in the P.D (police Department).

Two hours later

Back at the tower, Robin agreed to letting everyone take a breather for a few hours before diving back into the case, he knew it had been alot for them to handle, expecially Beastboy. Once they had gotten back to the tower, the changling had gone without a word right to his room after permisson from Robin. Sitting down at the large dining room table across from Cyborg, the boy wonder ran a hand through his hair. Raven took a seat next to him.

"sigh do you think it was right of me to have him go in there?" He said, looking at the table. Raven and Cyborg were unsure of what to say at first. Cyborg spoke first.

"We needed him to help us, he had the best sense of smell and all. I'll say I wasn't sure about it either but we can't really take this back ya know?" Raven Took her turn to bring up something she noticed earlier.

"When we saw that body in closet, every one of us had at least some kind of reaction, I looked at beastboy and there wasn't any. I read into his mind to see what could be the case and there was nothing, no thought, no emotion, nothing."

" I know it couldn't of been the body that took him to that point. Beastboy has seen them before. I think it was the scenario aand how close to home for him it hit.The difficult choices he had to make weren't the same as what he had to go through tonight." Raven nodded. Robin finally looked up from the table at his teammate sitting adjacent to him, she knew what that look meant.

"sigh alright I'll go check on him."

BEAST BOY'S ROOM

Turning the lights off, Beastboy sat down indian style in the corner of his room. He didn't really feel like being around anyone at them moment. He just wanted his time to clear his head and get as far away from what he saw as possible. He looked toward the window of his room, the shades had been pulled down but not closed, slashes of light from the moon crept through onto his floor. Soon there was a knock at his door. He recognized that knock anywhere.

"Beastboy?" Raven called, she wasn't sure what she would say to him, she mostly hoped maybe she could listen. Admittingly she wasn't the best at starting a conversation.

The changling opened the door, Raven noticed he looked somewhat tired.

"Hey Rae." She rolled her eyes, this little nickname would never stop.

"Raven Beastboy, I just wanted to come by and see how you were holding up."

"Well, I'm..." Beastboy looked down slightly, as if unsure of what to say at this point. Looking back at her he asked,

"Can...would you mind coming in?" Raven hesitated for a sec, she could sense his nervousness and tinge of worry.

"Okay."
