Chapter One: Dreams

"Garfield, how did you do that?" A young boy who was about five was in a hut with his friends and their Master. The master was in charge of the arts of the village. He was the Witch Doctor, the warrior, and teacher of the village. The boy's parents let him join this little group about two years ago in hopes of giving their son, not only an American Education but the Education of the other African Village boys. They discovered their son was talented in the warrior art, or Karate in America. He trained every day and enjoyed it greatly. Here he was two years later the second highest ranked in the class of boys being the best he could be. The young boy was strawberry blonde and had stunning blue green eyes. He was short for his age but very strong as well. He looked nothing at all of what he would soon become.

"What do you mean Master? I only preformed as you do when someone is hurt badly. You were not available so I did it." The young boy looked at his Master in innocents. In truth the master thought he shouldn't be too surprised the boy possessed the ability to do such a thing, however he would be the first of the outsiders to be able to do it.

"Garfield, do you understand what you just did? You preformed an art I have not and most likely would never have taught this class. No one of this village other than my self has been able to do that." By this time the young man had gotten up and left the hut in a slight panic. Garfield looked up at his Master and smiled.

"Master, I want to be just like you and my dad. I want to be a healer in both the art of science and in magic." The master looked down upon the young boy and smiled.

"Then let us practice your new found skills." With that the young boy stood and followed his master out of the hut and to his parents hut to show his new found skills.

Beast Boy awoke with a slight start, he had not dreamed of this in such a long time. The last couple of times he had dreamed something about the old tribe had been when he met the others and Raven healing his leg. He would have healed it later when no one saw him doing this sort of magic. The magic he used was of a different sort then Raven's, which he reasoned in his head, was why she never sensed it. What could his dream have meant this time? He never got to finish his training due to the limitations of his age and boy strength at the time. Today however, if he were to go back he'd finish the training and be of more help in battle other than his powers. Maybe this was a sign he needed to go back home, to Africa. Maybe it was finally time to complete the processes.

Beast Boy came out of his deep thoughts at the kitchen table with the other Titans staring at him.

"Beast Boy, are you the all right?"

"Yeah B, you haven't said a word since you entered the room. Last I check I was the half robot." Robin and Raven just stared at him, Raven with a bored expression on his face and Robin had a look of concern. Beast Boy looked up to his friends and managed a very large smile.

"Yeah guys, I'm fine just thinking about something." They all looked at him like he was crazy. "What, I'm not stupid just an attention seeker. I just want to be noticed every once in a while." With that he got some milk and tofu bacon and left for his room, back in deep thought. Everyone looked at each other at the table all wondering the same thing, 'What is he thinking about?'

Beast Boy had not come out of his room all day and Raven was starting to really worry about him. He seemed like he was in a far out place this morning and then he doesn't come out of his room all day except to eat. He was almost acting like her today.

'What is wrong with him? Why do I care so much?'

'Well Raven dear, you simply must look deep within yourself to find the answer. If I were you I'd look towards my realm of control. It's in the chest area.' Raven nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the voice. Her jump caused the Titans to look towards her in wonder in what's wrong. She looked back at them and dropped her legs to the ground and started for the door.

"I'm going to the roof if you need me." The others nodded and left her to do as she wanted. Raven walked briskly down the hall towards the roof access. The door was closest to her room and Beast Boy's. As she neared the door she slowed down to listen in on Beast Boy. He was talking to himself and it seemed a little panicked.

"I need to go home. This is just too weird three dreams in the span of two days is a sign. He's calling me which means it's time to finish this right? Oh Robin is so not going to let me go. Ok, time to remain calm, when I get the dream of him yelling at me to come home that's when I'll try. I mean that's all I can do right?" Raven backed away from the door as she heard him start to pace his room, something was wrong and she wanted to know what. She took a step closer to the door just as it opened.

"Rae, what are you doing here?" He yelled in shock, Raven herself was a little shocked as well.

"I wanted to know if you were okay." Beast Boy smiled and nodded his head yes.

"Yeah I'm fine just trying to figure some things out. I may have to leave for a while to do that, but I won't be gone long. I hope anyway." He smiles and laughs just like Beast Boy would and walks off. Raven watched him till he turned the corner out of her sight and then walked the rest of the way to the roof, all the while thinking of Beast Boy, and the new voice or emotion in her head.
