To Save a life.
Beastboy was laying down on his bed dreaming about Raven. Not in a sick or perverted sort of way, but in a loving and kind sort of way. Beastboy smiled and rolled over, causing him to fall off of his top bunk. "AAAAH!" Beastboy screamed. When he hit with a thud he looked up and rubbed his sore rear. "Shoot." Beastboy mumbled under his breath, "Just when I was getting to the good part." Rubbing his eyes he looked over and saw that the clock said six-fifty. "Well no point in laying here and doing nothing, might as well go make myself breakfast before Cyborg contaminates the kitchen with his death meat." He grumbled to himself. Reaching for his towel and a clean uniform he walked down the hallway to the bathroom. When he got there he stopped and looked at himself in the mirror, he had had a growth spurt in the last few months. Now he stood a lean 6'3" and weighed around 192 pounds. He had learned after the Brotherhood of Evil thing that he might have to take the lead if something bad like that happened again. So he trained in his spare time, actually he was usually the second one up after Raven. And over the course of three years they had grown incredibly close, hence Beastboy's dreams about her. Over that time he had matured greatly, both physically and mentally. Sure he still told jokes but they were actually funny, not a plea for attention. "I am one fine piece of nineteen year old changeling." Beastboy said to himself, as he started the shower.
Down the hall Raven had just finished brushing her hair. She too was lost in thought about Beastboy. Raven at first had tried to deny the fact that she liked him but slowly accepted the crush and decided to see where it would go. Unfortunately she wasn't sure if Beastboy shared the same feelings or not. Slowly she left her room and headed down the hall to where the kitchen/common room was. While she was there she started to make some of her favourite brew of tea. About ten minutes later Beastboy walked in humming, his hair still wet from his shower. "Hey Rae." The shape-shifter said, Raven had long ago given up on trying to make him stop calling her with the pet name, but eventually gave up. "Hey Beastboy." Raven said without looking up from her book and tea. "What are you doing today?" The changeling said, "Nothing really, why?" Raven asked in her usual monotone, although secretly she was hoping he would ask her to go somewhere with her. "Oh, just curious." Beastboy said while shrugging, he then turned around and went to the kitchen where he prepared himself a bowl of cereal with soy milk. Just then the room was illuminated with flashing red lights. Both the changeling and the half demon knew that that meant danger. "Titans! Trouble!" Robin's voice boomed over the loud speakers. In an instant the teens stood before their spiky haired leader. "We have a new villain in town, never seen him before." And with that some street camera footage popped up, it showed a huge, bulking mass that shot flames out of it's arms. Raven felt the creature was oddly familiar, but couldn't put her finger on it. Before she had much more time to think she saw the others leaving. Out on the street they saw the creature, instantly he saw the titans and shot flames at them. Starfire grabbed Robin and dogged the flames, Raven made a shield that protected the other titans. As soon as the flames stopped Beastboy changed into a gorilla and started to fight the creatures hand-to-hand. At the same time Cyborg charged his sonic cannon, and Robin threw some freeze disks. Almost like they planned it Beastboy turned into a pterodactyl and flew out of the way of the incoming blasts. Time seemed to stop for the young hero's as they waited for the smoke to clear. Instead of finding their opponent unconscious as they hoped it didn't seem to phase it. Within a blink of an eye Starfire threw a dozen star-bolts and Raven threw some cars. All of this seemed to not even phase the monster as he continually blocked the attacks and even threw in a few attacks himself, all of them were dogged until Raven turned her back to find another object to throw at the monster. Seeing it's opening the monster fired a shot of flames at her while her back was turned. Beastboy seeing this and knowing that Raven wouldn't be able to throw up a shield in time, Beastboy gave in to the Beast and stepped in front of the flame. The last thing Beastboy remembered was a blurred face standing over him saying something.
