Okay I just saw the titans go episode 'You're Fired!' and thought, "wow…that was really messed up how they did beastboy, I mean yea he messed up but to just kick him off with no warning at all. I thought they were like family but I guess not…wow." So I made this little short story for that very episode, I hope you like it
WARNING: if you haven't seen the episode then this story maybe very hard to follow
[Start off in the episode where beastboy talking to cyborg at lunch, watchYou're Fired! If lost]
"When she turns into animals she not green so we can use her powers in a lot more ways than we ever could with you, to be frank I never realized what a drag you were on the team until now" cyborg said with a smirking face, beastboy eyes went wide and his ears dropped sadly.
"So…if I'm reading you correctly, your saying that I was useless to the team and you guys are better off without me" he said looking down while playing with his fingers "now you understand what I'm saying" cyborg said with a happy face "can you pass the fries" beastboy handed cyborg the fries as he thought about what he said
"Wow…so they can just replace me just like that…I thought we were friends" he then looked up at cyborg "…I thought we were best friends" he then wiped away a stray tear and stood up "ah cy, can you get this one I really gotta go."
"No problem beasty, where you headed" he happily asked pulling out some money "just…to do some thinking" beastboy said rubbing the back of his head "HaHaHa oh that a good one beasty but seriously where ya headed?" beastboy's only reply was turning his back to the mental man "oh…okay…see ya later beasty bud"
Beastboy didn't look back "yea…maybe" he then looked up to the sky "goodbye cyborg, have fun with your friends" beastboy then took off in the form of a green bird as cyborg was left wandering if he said something wrong

Beastboy kept flying until he was on the very edge of the city and landed on the tallest building around there, he turned back to normal and sat down to think about all that when down in the last few days. "You have forgotten what being a hero is all about" he heard robin voice in his head he then pulled out the pink slip he got and reread it 'YOU ARE FIRED, for being terrible' it was just a few words but he reread it over and over as tears started to form in his eyes
"…maybe I'm not meant to be a hero" he said as he wiped away the tears "maybe I'm just not good enough to be" he sat there for what felt like forever thinking about not being good enough and how he wasn't a REAL hero until a new thought hit him "where do I go now?" he looked up to the sky like it was going to give him the answers "what can I do now…now im just…an outcast"
Just as he felt lower than he ever felt in his life he heard a scream "huh, what?" he looked around and saw just a few blocks away as Plasmus was eating what looked like a tipped over trunk of toxic waste and making a mess of the place "oh dude come on not him not now" Beastboy looked back to the far off titans tower "man, the guys will never get here before Plasmus wrecks the place"
Beastboy looked worried "oh man oh man, okay calm down beasty so Plasmus is having a snack and messing up the place a bit" he said trying to calm down "as long as no one is in danger-" he was cut off by another scream, he looked back to see a little girl not too far off from Plasmus "SERIOUSLY!" Plasmus also seemed to notice the scared child not too far off and got a sick smile to his face
"No-no-no-no-no, AHHHHH where are the titans" he said looking in the distance but not seeing anything "what do I do, I can't save her I'm not a hero anymore" he looked back as Plasmus slowly moved toward the frightened girl "an-and even if I was what do I turn into a T-rex no, an eagle no, a sloth? AHHHH this is why I was fried" he said hitting his head
Plasmus was getting closer to the girl as she was backed into a building holding tightly to the doll in her hands. Goo was about to drip on her face as Plasmus was mere seconds from the scared girl; she let out one more loud fright filled scream.
Just then a green rhino was seen hitting Plasmus full force and knocking him away, the rhino then turned to a dog to shake the goo off it face. "Ewwwww that was so gross" beastboy said turning back to normal, he then turned to the scared wide eye girl "you okay?" she shook her head yes "good then lets-"
Plasmus rose quickly and let out a bloody yowl; beastboy's ears dropped again as he saw the still standing bad guy "…okay girl get out of here now!" he watched as the little girl was already on her knees but she quickly fell as she rubbed her red leg "and you can't run" he looked back to Plasmus "because that be too easy"
Plasmus took long steps as he ran back at the two, beastboy thought fast and grabbed the girl as he turned into a horse. Plasmus was right on his tail as he run away with little girl on back, the little girl was breathing fast and looking back with fear and beastboy could tell this was all just getting worse. "Little girl, what's your name" the girl looked back to beastboy "…Sam"
"Sam huh? Is that short for anything like Samantha" the little girl shook her head "no, just Sam" beastboy smiled as the girls fast breathing stopped "okay Sam, I want you to know everything goanna be alright" Sam shook he head in understanding and was about to look back at Plasmus "AND!" beastboy said stopping her mid head swing "we're gotta be so alright that I thought we play a game called…Nighttime yea the game where you close your eyes and pretend it's night till I say 'morning' "
The girl shook her head again and closed her eyes as her hold on beastboy tighten "alright good" he thought "just gotta keep this up" he thought running toward titans tower "we'll meet up soon and then the guy can-" beastboy was cut off again as goo quickly flew over his head and blocked the road ahead "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Beastboy made a quick turn down another street as Plasmus was quick to catching up "now it'll take them even longer to get here" beastboy looked back to the charging Plasmus "and I don't think I'll last that long" Plasmus shot out some more goo at beastboy, beastboy quickly turn into a cheetah to avoid the shots. As beastboy ran his cheetah form was fast to tire as the weight of the girl on his back took its toll
"Can't slowdown can't slowdown" he said still pushing it "mister hero, is it morning yet" Sam asked with her eyes still close "hah-hah not yet sweetie but soon I prom-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH" beastboy was knocked into the air by Plasmus massive hand. He turned in midair and transformed into a panda catching the little girl in a soft panda hug and landing on his butt. He turned back to normal while still holding the now shaking girl in his arms "it-it's okay Sam just a bit of bumpy road is all" the girl was still shaking but stopped as she flexed her hands "dolly?"
Beastboy looked confused until he looked back up to Plasmus to see the doll just a few steps away from it "mister hero, where's dolly?" beast looked to the little girl then to the doll then Plasmus. "I can't get to it in time, it be suicide, all the guys couldn't stop this thing what can I do alone", "mister hero?" the girl said wearily with tears about to spill over, beastboy grip on the girl tighten as he raised his head to glare at Plasmus.
"Hey Sam have you ever flown before" she shook her head no "have you ever been to sea world" she shook her head yes "what's the biggest animal there" he asked putting her back on his back "w-whale" she said holding on tight "good girl, have you ever wanted to ride on a whales back" she shook her head yes again
"ok good…I want you to hold on tight ok, things are about to get really weird, but I promise morning will come and you'll see dolly again ok?" she shook her head yes again and held on for dear life. Beastboy kept glaring at Plasmus, making Plasmus stop in his tracks. Plasmus know that look, that look meant it was about to be a face off, Plasmus sick smile came back as he stood ready for the attack.
Beastboy got into a ready running stands still locking eyes with Plasmus, his legs raised like he was about to charge. Now both fighters were just waiting for the signal that would set it all off, the force of it all could be felt in the air around. They kept standing there waiting as time slowly matched by and the wind blow. The wind kept blowing as strains of beastboy hair blow with it, and as the wind died so did his blowing hair.
As the wind finally stopped, beastboy's eyes went wide as he charged at Plasmus, Plasmus in turn let out another yowl. Beastboy was making good speed as he then turned into a large bird and picked up more speed. Plasmus started to pound his chest like he wanted to see beastboy attack hit, "this is gonna be close" was beastboy's only thought as he neared the monster
Just as beastboy was inches away from Plasmus chest he made a swift turn skyward as his talons barely slashed against Plasmus chest. Plasmus glared up as beastboy kept gaining more and more air, with the girl still holding tight to his back. Just as he was almost out of eye-shot he stopped and looked down at Plasmus. Beastboy smirked down at the confused Plasmus as he transformed again, into something big.
Plasmus kept glaring up at the small green dot in the air but the small dot got bigger and was getter even bigger by the second. Plasmus angry face then turned to one of fear as he saw a whale coming in for a body slam.

Sam sat there in what felt like mud for a few minutes, still shaken up from all that crazy moving, she was sure if she saw it all she have pee her pants "mister hero…is it-" she stopped as she felt a finger hit her nose "morning" the girl slowly opened her eyes and was surprised at what she saw
Everything was cover in goo but her, even her green hero but all he did was smile a big smile at her. "You're a brave girl" he said still smiling "don't you think?" he then then pulled out "dolly"
To say the girl was happy was an understatement, she jumpped into beastboy goo cover chest and hugged her doll "Dolly" she then wrapped her hands around beastboy "oh thank you thank you thank you mister hero" beastboy rubbed the back of his head laughing "no problem Sam, but I'm not really a hero"
Sam let him go and smiled up at him "what do you mean you saved me and dolly" she said holding up said doll "and you're a titan" beastboy looked away at that comment "not anymore…I was fired for not being a good hero" his ears dropped as he thought back "I'm no hero, not anymore"
"WHAT!" the little girl said mad "but you are a hero, a great hero" beastboy still just kept looking down "but I'm not a titan and-", "you're a hero" she said now hitting him in the chest with her small fist "and if titans just give you up then there bad friends"
Beastboy couldn't help but smile looking at the cute girls pouting face "you think huh?" the girl shook her head yes and crossed her arms still pouting. Just as beastboy was going to say something else he heard a faint sound 'I think the mess leads this way, Titans go', "Crap"
The titans soon came around the corner to see the mess of the battle field "What's this?" starfire asked looking around "it looks like Plasmus cover city to me" raven said in a monotone voice "but what's strong enough to do this to Plasmus" cyborg asked confused "I don't know but we better get this cleaned up before Plasmus wakes up and pulls himself together" robin said
The group all moaned in disagreement "mister hero, who's that?" the little girl whispered from her and beastboy hiding spot "the titans" beastboy whispered back "not them, her" she said pointed to Jayna "…my replacement" the little girl started to pout again and beastboy had to hold back a laugh to not get noticed
"why don't I get you home, your parents must be worried and you could use a bath" Sam started to giggle "you need one more" beastboy picked her up and put her on his shoulders "naw, I took one this mouth already" this just made the girl giggle more

"Oh my god, Sam I'm so happy you're alright" the girl's mom said as she and her husband hugged their daughter "never scare us like that again" her dad said with joy filled tears "I'm okay, thanks to my hero" both parents looked up to see beastboy standing there "wait…I know you, your that X titan" beastboy rubbed his head sad "yeah, that's me"
The guy stood up and wiped his eyes as he walked over to beastboy "well I'm glad you're not an X hero" he then held out his hand "thank you". Beastboy looked at the hand then the man and smiled as he shook his hand "thanks, I needed that"
"The titans maybe too stupid to see the hero in you but I'm not so blind" he said fixing his glasses "there's greatness in you boy you just have to find it, like you did today" beastboy smile grow even bigger "yeah, I think your right"
Beastboy let go of the man's hand "and I am gonna find it again but it's not gonna be easy" the man looked back to his wife and Sam "you know we have an extra room, if you need a place to stay while you look" she said wiping away her own tears with a smile "Thanks, but I'm not gonna stay" beastboy looked back to titans tower in the distance "I need some space right"
"What?" the little girl said surprised with a sad look in her eyes "Well at least let us treat you to a meal and bath, I'm guessing you need both" beastboy turned back to the family with a warm smile, he really couldn't remember the last time he felt so good
"You guys did enough for me" beastboy said backing up "because you gave me something back; you gave me the power to believe in me again"
"Will we ever see you again?" the little girl asked sadly with a tear coming down her face, beastboy fought back tears of his own at that moment. Beastboy pulled out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote something down "I don't have my communicator from the titans anymore, but cyborg did make me a nice cell to get in touch with me before I left"
Beastboy folded the paper up and throw it to the little girl "if there ever problems the titans can't fix, see if I can ok" Sam held the paper tightly and smiled wiping away the tears. Beastboy turned his back to the family but looked back "just remember" he said with a smile "where a titan falls, an outcast rises" with that he transformed and took to the sky.
Not my best chapter but it works for a start, I'll try my best to make the next one better
