(...)

It had been one month since the so-called 'Beast Incident' and Beast Boy was becoming fed up with the way Robin was treating him.

'You would think he'd have a little more faith in Cy if nothing else.' The green changeling thought as he lay on his back, hands folded behind his head on the large rock near the shoreline on Titan Island.

He spent more and more time out here, ever since the Beast Incident as whenever he was around Robin he could sense the hostility and fear coming from him. Beast Boy could understand the fear, he'd watched the footage of Robin's, Cy's, and Star's fight against the Beast and they didn't do a whole lot of damage. The Beast pretty much tanked whatever was thrown at him until Cy and Rob pulled off a Sonic Boom.

'My chest is still sore from that.' He thought rubbing the affected area tenderly with one hand before sitting up and, opening a compartment on his belt pulled out a small vial full of pitch black liquid topped with a currently capped bee-needle.

He stared at the small vial for a moment; thinking about what it meant before shaking his head and putting it back in his belt pocket. He then did a mental checklist 'Got Raven the Game of Thrones box set each book autographed by George RR Martin? Check. Got Cy the latest and greatest in Dayton Enterprises car tech for the T-Car? Check. Got Starfire a jumbo sized Hello Kitty Fat Head and bed spread as well as a matching outfit for Silkie? Check.'

Then he smiled evilly as he came to Robin 'Taped a timed explosive to a bag of dog shit outside Robin's door, painted all of his costumes pink, gorilla glued a several My Little Pony Fat Heads all long his evidence room, put laxative in his morning coffee, put more gorilla glue in his hair gel, and laced all the guys bathrooms toilet paper with itching powder? Check, check, check, check and check!' he thought happily.

"I'm gonna miss you guys...well not Robin but I'll miss the rest of you." He said before he pulled the cap off the syringe.

Just then a human shaped shadow loomed over him. Sniffing the air slightly and smelling the scent of tea leaves, old paper and, the pungent scent of brimstone, Beast Boy smiled a bit before saying "Hey Rae what's up, besides you of course?"

He heard a stoic sigh behind him before the reply came "It's Raven, and I was just...coming to see how you were doing."

Sitting down next to him the blue cloak clad sorceress said "Also I came to thank you for the box set; that was very thoughtful of you." She then looked at him, and with a hint of concern in her amethyst eyes she asked "Are you ok? You seem to spend a lot of time out here these days."

Giving her his best false smile he said "I'm fine, don't worry about me Raven...unless...don't tell me you've finally fallen for the ole Beast Boy charm? That's it isn't it?" he said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively while silently hoping it would lead her off this line of questioning.

Much to his surprise, it didn't work. Instead it merely caused her to send him a slight glare and deadpan "Beast Boy, I'm an empath remember? Now, why don't you tell me what's really going on?"

Sighing he slumped slightly his ears drooping before he spoke in a depressed manor "Robs still being a hardass about the whole Beast thing."

This didn't surprise the empath. She sometimes thought her friends forgot she could read their emotional states, and whenever Beast Boy would enter the room, Robin would immediately become suspicious and hostile. Sighing she decided to ask him about something else. "So, what was that syringe from earlier all about?"

"What syringe?" the changeling said innocently.

"Beast Boy." She said warningly while giving him a glare. After a moment of this he balked and, sighing pulling the small syringe full of black liquid from one of the small compartments on his belt.

Holding it between his thumb and forefinger, for the demoness to see he said in a serious tone "This is the Black Hand of Doom. Each member of the Doom Patrol is supposed to carry it, just in case."

Having a sudden sense of foreboding Raven asked "In case of what?"

Looking out into the bay he replied "In case we ever get captured by the Brotherhood of Evil we were to inject ourselves with this. It is a potent compound that targets the dna of whatever its injected into and breaks it down...rapidly causing the target to expire from organ failure before any information can be taken from their minds by the Brain." He spoke as if reading something from a textbook.

'What the Trigon, he's not thinking of using that is he?' Raven thought worriedly.

Seemingly sensing her mood, he said "Don't worry Rae I don't intend to die anytime soon. It's just nice to know I have an easy out should things get that desperate."

It took a moment for the Empath to find her voice "...I...Have you ever seriously thought about, you know?"

Looking at her with a look she couldn't quite place he replied "Thought about actually using it, yeah, three times actually."

Just then, a smaller rock in front of the two was consumed by black energy before it was blown to bits, showing that Raven was very, very concerned for her green teammate. Taking a deep breath and letting it out fixed him with a steady gaze before she asked "When?"

"What is this bear my soul hour?" the changeling asked, eyebrow rose.

"Beast Boy, I need to know, not just as your teammate, but as your friend!" She said raising her voice and causing more debris to fly before she said in a softer monotone "Please."

Lowering his head and looking away he spoke softly "Sorry Rae. The first time was when I was kicked off the Doom Patrol, I had no friends, no family left, nothing and for the first month or so before I met you guys I seriously considered using the Hand of Doom. The second time was...well in all honestly I thought about using it four times, but two of them had to deal with Terra; once when she left and blamed me, and he second time when she...well, you know."

Raven nodded from within her cloak "Yeah I do." 'Stupid blonde bitch nearly drove him to suicide twice.' she thought angrily before she noticed he had stopped talking and asked "And the last time?"

Taking a deep breath of his own Beast Boy said "The last and most recent time was when Robin almost had me believing I had hurt you during the Beast Incident. I was so afraid, so afraid that I'd hurt you that I almost-"

Beast Boy suddenly stopped talking. Not because he'd run out of things to say, far from it, it's just that this is the second time in recorded history Raven had deliberately hugged him, shocking him into silence. But it was different this time though; he could smell salt and feel sadness coming off her in droves. His shirt was also getting quite damp.

'Holy shit, dude, is Raven crying?!' he thought as he awkwardly put his hands around her hold her close with one hand while rubbing small circles in her lower back with the other and whispering that it was ok and that he was sorry for upsetting her.

After a minute or two, Raven lifted her head off the changelings shoulder, her eyes now red and slightly puffy she said "I'm sorry about that."

She then looked around in surprise and said "Nothing exploded?"

The changeling shook his head and then said "Look I didn't mean to upset you Rae, a prank here and there is one thing, but I never wanted to actually see you cry by telling you that." Putting a comforting hand on her shoulder he finished "In fact it's the last thing I want."

Giving him a ghost of a smile she replied "Thank you Beast Boy; I'm not upset with you though."

"Then why the waterworks?" he asked perplexed.

Hold him at arm's length she replied "I'm not mad at you." Her eyes then turned a bloody crimson and her voice took on a demonic tinge as she continued "But I am furious at Robin for almost doing something irrevocable to you!"

"Woah, that's new." The wide-eyed changeling said as she suddenly came out of her demon-like state and looked at him fearfully.

"Beast Boy I need to go! She said quickly before getting up only to be stopped when she found the shapeshifter had a firm but not painful grip on her wrist.

She was about to tell him off, when she saw his face. His eyes weren't his usual goofy playful ones, but were calmer, more serious, filled primarily with concern, but they also had and an edge to them; and his mouth was in a thin straight line like the one time Cyborg had dared him to suck on a lemon. The empath and the changeling stared at one another for a moment before he silently nodded towards the ground, prompting her to sit, which she did.

"I think it's your turn to share with the class Rae. Does this have to do with what Cy and I saw on our trip to Nevermore?" He said but the way he said it brooked no room for argument.

'He catches on quick.' she thought before adopting a 'kicked puppy look' Starfire often used and asked voice of child who had just been caught with her hand in the cookie jar "Promise you won't tell the others?"

Nodding he replied "You keep my secret I'll keep yours."

And so, Raven told him everything. Starting at the beginning with her mother Angela Roth who as a teenager growing up in a bad home in Gotham fell in with the wrong crowd, a cult known as the Church of Blood who used her in a ritual to summon Trigon the Terrible the entity humanity thinks of as the devil to their plane of existence where he then raped her. Raven was the result of that rape. Soon after that; her mother, now pregnant with her was then taken in by the Monks of Azarath who knew of Trigons coming and trained her in the control of her emotions and use of her powers.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked." he said feeling ashamed.

Putting a hand on his shoulder she replied "Don't be, you were just concerned."

Taking a leap of faith he asked "So how long till, you know, the whole portal thing?"

"Not long enough I'm beginning to think." She answered vaguely.

Nodding and standing up he stretched while saying "That short huh, c'mon then."

"Where are we going?" Raven asked.

Becoming nervous he rubbed the back of his head and said "Well um, remember when I told I wasn't planning on using the Black Hand anytime soon?"

Seeing her nod he said "Well, I kinda lied. The reason I've been doing all these nice things lately is because I wanted to do one nice thing for everyone before I bit the big one. Except for Robin, Robin I took the liberty of pranking to high hell today, mostly because I didn't think I'd be around to see it. So I kinda gotta run before he finds me." The changeling replied quickly before changing into a peregrine falcon and flying off.

Or he tried to anyway he found himself encased in an orb of black energy instead. Looking back her saw Raven, now with an extra set of eyes on her forehead both of which glowed an ominous red with tears like blood coming down from both of her eyes. Stalking forward slowly like a predator who had cornered its prey she said in a sickly sweet growl "You mean to tell me, that if I hadn't shown up when I did you would be dead right now? Is that about right?"

Again Beast Boy donned his serious face and just nodded in response. Raven for her part punched him. Not slapped, not backhanded, but actually hit him full on with a right hook. Spitting out some blood he thought 'Damn Jinx wasn't kidding, Raven does fight like a boy, and hits just as hard.'

"For the record, now, now I'm upset with you!" she said her tone returning to normal.

Rubbing his now tender split lip, he looked at the still pissed off empath and felt for lack of a better term, like shit. 'It was this I wanted to avoid.'

"Look, I'm sorry for what you would've walked in on Raven, but it's my life and I can live it, or end it how I so choose." He told her.

This was the wrong thing to say apparently as Raven turned ridged before glaring at him with a look that could kill and hissing out while stalking up to him "You think this is just about your almost successful suicide? While I'm not happy about that I'm even more pissed over the fact that you wouldn't come to me over something like this and then lie to my face about it! Beast Boy you are a member of our strange dysfunctional little family, If you died, Cyborg would lose his little brother, Starfire her best friend, and I would lose..." she muttered something he couldn't even make out with his enhanced senses.

"What was that?" he asked while cupping one of his pointed ears.

Shaking her head Raven replied "Nothing, the fact remains that the team needs you, Cyborg needs you, Starfire needs you...I need you." She said in an almost inaudible tone.

He then started chuckling before it escalated to full blown laughter "Wow Raven, good job I gotta hand it to ya you almost had me there. If this superheorine thing doesn't work out you could always get a job as an actress."

"What are you talking about?"

Casting an amused glance her way he replied "Like I said, you almost had me thinking the team needed me, but you laid it on a little thick. I mean you need me? You of all people need me, when half the time you're launching me out across the bay because I annoy you?"

Raven winced at that, while it was true she was a bit rough on him at times but... "Your right, I've been a terrible friend to you haven't I?"

"What no, no, Rae c'mon your just being y'know Raven is all." He said trying to downplay her treatment of him.

She knew what he was doing an in a way she appreciated it. But right now she needed him to know she did need him around. She wracked her brain trying to come up with a solution, and she finally did. Walking forward slowly she said "I realize there isn't a whole lot I could say to make it seem like I'm being sincere."

She then reached up and undid the clasp on her cloak as she walked within five feet of him, letting it fall to the ground as she finished making her way towards where he stood, frozen in confusion. Upon reaching him she ever so gently cupped his face with her hands and brought him down an inch or two so he was level with her before she said "But that doesn't mean I can't do anything to prove it."

Then she kissed him right-square on the lips. He honestly didn't know what to make of this, but his instincts were telling him to go along with it, so he put his hands around her waist. Once Raven finally broke the kiss she looked into his emerald eyes and said "I need you Beast Boy, I need you because without you I would probably be left to rot in that abyss I call a room, and no one would notice. I need you because even though your jokes aren't funny at least you try and make me laugh; I need you because you constantly get me to do new things, other than meditate, read, and drink tea. I need you because...because I love you." She finished before pulling him into a hug.

Beast Boy just stood there dumbfounded. 'Raven, our Raven, loves me, ME of all people?! This has got to be a dream, a very nice dream, but a dream.' He thought.

But he felt the warmth from her body, the firmness of her being pressed up against him, and her scent was all that he could smell being in such close proximity to her. This was far, far more realistic than any of the dreams he's had of her, besides those kinds of dreams usually also included Starfire and Jinx in them, and all of them were usually wearing less too.

"Hey Rae?" he asked.

"Hmm?" she replied while still holding onto him.

"Do you mind if we go talk in your room for a while?" he requested.

He heard her chuckle slightly before she said "This wouldn't just be so you can hide from Robin is it?"

The green teen shook his head "No, hiding from Robin is just a bonus."

Letting him go she nodded and held her hand out "Alright, but first, the syringe." She demanded.

He was going to argue, but upon seeing the look in her eyes he decided to keep quiet and handed it over, but not before saying "I want that back, as is when I leave your room."

"Why?" she asked concernedly.

Sighing to himself and running a hand down his face he said "I just need to have it with me ok? A lot of things have been decided for me in my life, but the one thing I won't let anyone else decide is where, when, and how I die. That decision belongs to me and me alone."

After a moment Raven slowly nodded before levitating her cloak back to her and opening up a black portal directly to her room.

(...)

Robin not having a good day, first he woke up to the smell of burning dog shit, which he promptly stomped out, getting feces all over his foot, cleaning that up he made his morning coffee and ten minutes later had to run to the bathroom to relieve himself for the next twenty minutes once he was done, he was left with a terrible burning pain in his rectum and an itching feeling on both his hand and other...more sensitive areas, if that wasn't bad enough someone mixed glue into his hair gel causing his hands to get stuck in his hair! Robin knew there was only one person capable of doing all of this...

Beast Boy.

Robin was afraid no that wasn't the right word. He was concerned yes, concerned about the threat Beast Boy now represented. He had always wondered about him of course, having green skin and his morphing abilities and all, but now he was sure of it. Beast Boy was a mutant, and mutants were dangerous. That was one of the many things Bruce had drilled into his head during his time as his sidekick. Mutants were a dangerous unknown variable and thus couldn't be trusted. He and Batman personally ran off or locked up any mutant that stayed in Gotham for too long, as they had enough trouble with normal, albeit crazy people like the Joker, Scarecrow, and Bane. Last thing they needed were superpowered weirdo's running around and making Gotham even more dangerous.

Grimacing, he thought 'And now I've got one of them on my team. What do I do, I need to get rid of him somehow before he becomes a danger to the team and to the public.' I've got it!'

A grin spreading across his face he called all the Titans to the living room. The others soon arrived; first was Cyborg who was cleaning his hands with oil stained rag, showing he'd been working on the T-car in the garage, then Starfire who was carrying that putrid mutant silk worm in her arms much to Robins' chagrin.

'Just another thing I'll need to get rid of.' He thought as both Beast Boy and Raven showed up, together, hand in hand.

'Oh hell.' The Boy Wonder thought.

The others saw this too and Cy and joked "Raven you sick or something cause your holding Beast Boy's hand.

Rolling her eyes at the metal man she replied "No Cyborg, I'm not ill, Garfield simply asked me out and I accepted."

Next to her, Beast Boy face-palmed himself before he said "Damn it Rae!"

"What, what did I do?" she asked looking at him curiously.

"Gar...field?" Cyborg slowly echoed with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"Oh, I see sorry." She apologized before glaring at Cyborg and saying "No jokes Cyborg. Beast Boy isn't very fond of his real name."

Hold his hands up in front of him defensively he said "Fine, fine I promise I won't pick on him, by the way I'm making lasagna for lunch." He said with a grin causing the changeling to groan.

The Chronomantically Challenged Pair were then almost squeezed to death when they were hugged by a thrilled Tamaranean princess.

"This is Glorious! You two are the together now! I should make the pudding of joy, and then later Raven and I could do the girl talk, or go to the mall of shopping for the girl time while Friends Garfield, Robin, and Cyborg do the playing of the videogames!"

"Starfire...air!" Beast Boy wheezed out, causing her to drop them both.

"I am sorry friends, are you the ok?" she asked.

After being helped up by her new beau Raven replied "We'll live." Turning to her leader she asked "What did you need us for Robin?"

Clearing his throat, Robin began "I believe it would be within the teams' and the cities' best interest if Beast Boy took a leave of absence from the team for a while."

The room was so quiet; you could hear a pin drop. After a moment a light overhead exploded and Beast Boy put a comforting arm around the grey-skinned empath before looking at Robin and asking "Why?"

"Yeah Rob, it's been a month and the grass stains been back to his normal annoying non-meat eating self." Cyborg joked.

"That thing Beast Boy turned into, that Beast, I'm not one hundred percent sure that the serum Cyborg administered worked." 'Hook.' The Boy Wonder thought.

Almost glaring at the bird, Beast Boy replied "So you wait a month before asking me to take an extended leave of absence why?"

"I needed to find someone to replace you on the team." Robin replied honestly.

Beast Boy cocked his head to the side as if thinking before he nodded and said "Who'd you find as my temporary replacement?"

"Aqualad." Robin replied.

"Fish stick boy; seriously?! Rob, I don't think he'd be a good fit to fill my spot. He can only control marine life and water, I can become any animal on the planet, this could seriously affect the team if you're in like the sierra or something."

"Beast Boy, we fight crime in Jump City we'd never need to go to the Sierra, there's also plenty of water out here and plenty of fish in the bay."

"He's got a point B, we don't usually leave Jump even if Garth is kinda stuck up, and I think with him we'll be ok." Cyborg said with his hands on his chin in thought.

'Line.' Robin thought.

"Ok I admit you have a point, but if-"Beast Boy was cut off by Robin who cut him off by waving his hand and saying in his leader tone "Beast Boy, I've made up my mind."

Raven then decided to speak up for the first time since Robin made his announcement "Since he's being forced on sabbatical he will of course be receiving his monthly stipend from the city correct?"

His eyes widening from behind his mask Robin said "Umm I hadn't thought of that actually."

In truth he had he was hoping Raven either wouldn't care or would be too shocked to bring it up, he was hoping, barring one of the others telling Aqualad about their monthly stipend, to keep the muties portion for himself. 'But it looks like that won't be happening now.' He seethed internally to himself.

"Also you're going to need to find a suitable replacement for me as well." Raven added.

Now this, neither none of the Titans, not even Beast Boy had expected. Looking at her curiously the Titans leader said "Raven, are you planning on going somewhere?"

In response the empath jabbed her thumb at the changeling and replied "With him." Upon seeing the surprised look on said changelings face she said "You know just as well as I do that if someone doesn't keep an eye on you something bad is bound to happen."

"But Rae the team-"he tried to protest only for her to finish for him "Will be just fine without the two of us for a while Beast Boy. Besides didn't you say you had a pen pal in Bayville you wanted to visit?"

Beast Boy's emerald eyes then lit up and he said "Oh yeah Rogue! Great idea Raven" his eyes then softened in concern and he asked "But are you gonna be ok in Bayville? I mean it's only an hour away from New York and it's a highly populated area."

Giving him a ghost of a smile she replied "I'll be fine, why don't you let your friend know we're coming?"

Hang on a minute! You've been in contact with someone from outside the Tower?! What have you told him about us?" Robin harshly questioned.

Beast Boy rolled his eyes and snarked "Oh you know, our strengths, weaknesses, and security passcodes to the tower you know the usual." He then walked away to let his friend know he was coming.

After she was sure he had left, Raven rounded on her so-called leader "What the hell was that about?!" she hissed.

"I need to protect this team Raven, Terra proved that." Robin said with his arms crossed.

Her eyes narrowed upon the blonde geomancer being brought up; as it reminded her she almost inadvertently killed Beast Boy twice. Taking a threatening step forward she said "Watch it Bird Boy, or you may need to replace both Beast Boy and myself on a more permanent basis."

With her peace said she stalked out of the living room, too upset to even focus on flying.

(...)

In his room Beast Boy had quickly filled a suitcase full of civvies and spares of his uniform and was now at his desk typing away at his laptop. He was currently in the chat room that his friend Untouchable-Rouge and he frequented. He got along with her because she reminded him of Raven.

Green Beast: Hey Rouge, guess what?

Untouchable-Rogue: What is it sugar?

Green Beast: I have a few days off from my job and was thinking of coming by to visit you, is that ok?

Untouchable Rogue: I'm living in a big house with lots of other people now; I'd need to ask the guy who owns the place. Gimmie a minute sugar, and cross your fingers.

(...)

From across the country in her shared room in the Xavier institute for Gifted Youngsters, Rogue had just finished typing a reply to her friend Green Beast on her own laptop beforeshe got up and went to visit the Professor. Upon reaching his door she knocked and after a moment she heard a telepathic response [Come in Rogue.]

Shaking her head and thinking 'Ah'm never gonna git used ta that.' She let herself into Professor Xavier's office.

He was behind his desk seemingly waiting on her his hand folded in front of him and a serene smile on his face. Still smiling he asked "Did you need something Rogue?"

Becoming nervous, she asked "Professor, I have a request of sorts."

Raising an eyebrow, Xavier asked "What kind of request Rogue?"

Gathering her courage she looked him in the eye and said "Back when ah was still in the Brotherhood, things were tough to say the least. But I made it through mostly because I had this pen pal friend of mine. I was talkin' to him a little bit ago an...an he wants to come down and visit now that he has time off from work, would that be ok?"

Making a steeple out of his fingers Professor X regarded Rouge thoughtfully before he asked "Does he know anything about mutants?"

Rouge shook her head "Nah, I didn't tell him about any of that, I just told him that I was living at a big place with lots of other people now and I'd need to get yer permission before he came over is all."

The professor nodded "I see, your friend may come over but if I feel he may be a threat, I will be forced to erase his memories of you for the good of us all, do you understand?"

Rouge looked down at that she didn't want her friend to forget about her but she realized it was for the best so she nodded and then asked if she could borrow his computer for a moment to respond to him.

Obliging Professor X turned the screen and keyboard her way and after quickly logging into the site she typed GB, good news! You can come over!

Green Beast: Great, hey I forgot to mention this earlier but a friend of mine is coming along is there room for one more?

Rogue didn't expect this, so she turned the screen toward the professor to get his opinion, and after a moment he nodded.

Yeah that's fine she typed.

Great! We look forward to seeing you! J We'll be in on the noon flight to Bayville Airport in two days. My name's Garfield by the way, I figured you needed a proper name to locate me by."

"They'll be showin' up in two days Professor!" she said becoming slightly frantic.

Professor Xavier merely chuckled and said calmingly "It's no trouble Rogue, we merely must inform everyone now. You'll find we can get this place cleaned rather quickly."

He then sent out a school wide telepathic message [Attention everyone, we will be having some guests arriving at noon tomorrow. It would mean much if the manor was cleaned and I am currently uncertain of their feelings towards mutant kind so you all need to be on your best behavior.]

A few minutes later Scott, Jean, Logan, Beast, and Ororo entered his office. Not wasting any time Logan asked "What's all this about having guests over Charles?"

"Just as I said Logan, we are having guests over at noon tomorrow."

Grunting in obvious disapproval he looked over at Rouge and asked "You know these people Stripes?"

Nodding she said "Yeah ah been pen pals with one of em online for ah'while now."

Logan nodded slowly "You trust em?" Logan grunted out.

Rouge shrugged "Yeah I do, he helped me through some serious things."

Logan just stared at her for a moment before nodding and saying "Fine, but you should be careful Stripes, you never really know who's on the other side of the computer screen so don't get your hopes up."

Rolling her eyes she said "Yes mom." This caused Logan to growl in annoyance.

"Are you sure we can trust these people professor? Scott asked "Not that I don't trust Rogue's judgment." He added quickly upon seeing the look both she and Jean were giving him.

"We won't know until we meet them Scott. Let's just hope for the best shall we?" Xavier said placating.

"Yes Professor." Scott said before falling silent.

He looked around at the people in his office before saying "Now I do believe we have cleaning to be doing don't we?"

The teens nodded and made their way out of the room while the adults stayed to talk in private. Turning to Xavier Beast asked "This could be a good thing you know Charles, afterall the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step no?"

Xavier nodded "I agree Hank which is why I am allowing Rogue's friend to come and visit how else can mutants gain acceptance if they never allow themselves to interact with normal people?"

Xavier then turned to Logan who was silently staring out the window "What's the matter Logan you seem more apprehensive than usual."

Grunting before reaching in his jacket and pulling out a cigar and lighter Logan said "I dunno Charles I just got an apprehensive feeling about all this. Does Stripes even know this guy's real name?" he asked before opening a window and lighting his cigar.

Xavier nodded "He supplied us his first name for tomorrow he goes by Garfield apparently."

An undecipherable emotion flashed through Wolverine's eyes for a moment; prompting Ororo to ask "Logan is everything alright?"

Putting his cigar out in the palm of his hand he said "Everything's fine Ororo, I'm gonna go talk a walk." He said before jumping out of the two story window and down to the driveway below.

"Whatever could that has been about?" Hank wondered as he scratched his blue mane.

"I don't know." Xavier replied while Storm looked at the still open window in concern.

(...)

One half hour drive to the Whiteman Airport in Las Angeles and a tearful goodbye to Starfire with promises to keep in touch with Cyborg and Beast Boy and Raven were flying first class round trip to Bayville New York, under the aliases of Garfield Mark Logan, and Rachel Roth. Both were also give holorings by Cyborg to hide their appearances.

Forty-five hours later they were both stiff and tired from both jetlag and lack of sleep from being on the plane Raven, because she was in such close proximity to so many people and Beast Boy didn't like being cooped up for so long. Exiting the airport with their baggage and wearing their rings they looked around for someone bearing a sign they soon found one bearing his name.

It was being held by a very pretty girl dressed like a Goth wearing a black opaque silk shirt, a tank top, shorts, stockings and gloves all of which were black. She also had on dark lipstick and eye shadow. Curiously enough her bangs were white while the rest of her hair was auburn.

Garfield for his part had blonde hair and blue eyes with a slightly tanned complexion; this was his original appearance he possessed before he gained his powers. He was wearing civvies in the form of a green t-shirt and tan cargo shorts. He nudged Raven who herself now had pale skin and black hair and dark blue eyes and wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and traditional skinny jeans, pointed towards their ride before making their way over to the girl.

As the two approached Rogue took in Garfield's form 'Huh, he's a bit younger than me, cute though. Ah wonder who the girl with him is, a girlfriend maybeh?'

"Rogue I presume?" Garfield asked while holding out his hand.

Smiling a little Rouge held the sign in one hand and said "In the flesh Green Beast, or should I call you Garfield?" she said while taking his hand.

Had she known him a little better she would've seen the gleam in his eye and known that meant he had something planned, as it was Rogue was completely unprepared when he pulled her forward a bit an planted a chaste kiss on her cheek. Rogue expected to feel his lifeforce and his memories flow into her in that moment and for her cover as a mutant to be blown. But instead; much to her surprise, nothing happened. She didn't drain his lifeforce, or gain his memories or anything.

She quickly pulled back and touched her cheek where his lips were only moments before and looked at him to see him smiling at her playfully. Hiding her concern she asked "Do you do that ta all yer pen pals?"

"Only the cute ones." He joked before adding "And I'd prefer it if you'd call me Gar if it's all the same to you."

The Goth nodded "Well I prefer to go by Rogue. So Gar, who's your friend?"

Putting an arm around her Gar said "This is Rachel my girlfriend."

Rachel rolled her eyes and said "What he means to say is I'm the only girl willing to put up with his corny jokes."

"Hey!" he said in clear mock offense as he had a smile on his face "My jokes are top notch thank you very much."

"Right, keep deluding yourself Gar." She replied with a slight smile on her face.

Rogue smirked at their antics. Even though they bickered it was obvious they got along great. "Well anyway, our ride is this way. You guys got all your things?"

The two nodded and were led by the Goth to a cherry red convertible with two racing stripes on the hood and going across to the trunk. Sitting in the driver's seat was an older brown haired teen wearing red shades and a green blue t-shirt; when he saw Rogue approach he got out of the car, revealing he had a lean tall frame and was wearing tan khakis and light brown shoes.

"Hey Rogue, is this Garfield?" Scott asked warily.

Rolling her eyes Rogue replied "No Scott, the lil guy and his gal here just decided ta follow meh ta the car is all."

Chuckling Scott held out his hand and said "Hi nice to meet you I'm Scott Summers."

Shaking his hand in return Garfield replied "Sup dude, I'm Garfield Logan and this is my girlfriend Rachel Roth."

"Hi." Rachel said tonelessly while shaking his hand.

"Don't mind her she's just shy." Garfield said in overly loud whisper earning him a slap to the back of the head, causing him to smile sheepishly and quickly change the subject.

"Nice ride by the way dude." Garfield complimented while putting both his and Raven's luggage in the trunk before hopping in the backseat.

"She's a beauty isn't she?" Scott said affectionately while getting back into the driver's seat.

'Boys.' Both Raven and Rogue thought while sharing a look before the car took off.

As they drove down the road, Scott decided to ask Gar some questions "So Gar, how old are you?"

"Sixteen, you?" he asked back.

Deciding to humor him he replied "Seventeen. What's your favorite food?"

"Tofu, since I'm a vegetarian." He replied.

"Tofu huh? Scott replied with not quite hidden distaste.

"Hey dude, don't knock it till you actually try it." Gar defended from the back seat.

They soon arrived at the Institute and Garfield let out an impressed whistle "Nice digs."

"Impressive." Raven commented while looking up from the book she was reading.

"Yeah this place is pretty cool." Scott said as he pulled into the driveway of the sprawling mansion.

Still shaking his head in awe Garfield asked "So how much to rent a room here?"

Chuckling at his joke Rogue replied "Sorry but it doesn't work like that sugar, this is an institute for gifted teens, only certain people get to live here at the Professor's invitation to hone their gifts."

Gar nodded in understanding "Ah that's cool."

Raven who had closed her book and gotten out decided to ask "What kinds of gifts does this Professor look for to determine whether or not someone is allowed to live here?"

Scott and Rogue shared a look for a moment before Scott said "I think Professor Xavier would be better qualified to answer that question than us."

'Professor we're here.' Scott thought out.

[I know; everyone is currently in their rooms until I give the all clear. Please bring them to my office so we can decide what to do with them.] Xavier responded.

"The Professor would like to meet you first if that's ok?" Scott asked while holding open the door for them.

Garfield looked at Raven who nodded before looking back at Scott and replying "Yeah no problem dude."

"Cool, just leave your bags there and follow me." Scott said before leading them up several flights of stair before they came to a solid oak door.

"Come in Scott." A kindly sounding voice replied.

Garfield made his way in as Scott held the door open and he surveyed the room. It had several bookshelves on one wall crammed full of books, a large oak desk behind which sat a bald man in a wheelchair and standing next to the desk was a tall woman with long stringy white hair of African descent who was wearing a yellow sundress and sandals. But the person who made him stop and stare was the man leaning against the window with two devil horns of black hair, a gruff features, and with a serious case of five o clock shadow, wearing a white wife beater and combat fatigues'. He was currently staring at him in shock with a lit cigar hanging precariously out of his mouth, his face turned and ashy pale color.

"G-Garfield?" he whispered hoarsely.

"H-Hi dad; long time no see huh?" Garfield somehow managed to joke in an equally shocked tone.

AN: Hello everyone and welcome to my attempt at a DC/Marvel crossover specifically with that of Teen Titans and X-Men: Evolution. Though I admit to primarily being a fan of their TV show equivalents, if someone would be so kind to point me in the right direction where I can get detail comic book information I would be grateful, because as we all know, shows only cover so much. Or even better if your a comic buff and want to help out, that would be great!

Now, as for BB in this fic I'm going to be exploring his powers and just what he is truly capable of which in my mind is quite a lot if you think about it. Why do I say that? Because dear readers BB is the most underrated Character in DC's Roster and probably one of their most hax characters too. To put it in perspective for Marvel fans: He is the DC equivalent of Hope "White Phoenix" Summers. You'll see what I mean by that as the fic progresses.

Also I know Logan's real name isn't really Logan but we'll get to the fact of him being Garfield's dad next chap so hang on till then ok? In any case, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and till the next one, Bubbajack out!

Addendum: I have no idea why this story was taken down. To Quote Krusty the Clown: "I didn't do it!" I'm not really sure what happened. A Glitch, did I break one of FFN's rules somehow? I dunno, but here we go again folks!
