Chapter One: Depression
Superhero life can seem exciting and carefree to many people, but a lot of citizens know troubles of wearing the spandex.
Property damage was common in fights, and who had to pay for it? The superheroes.
Some may think they can do anything they want, because of their powers, but in reality, superheroes have to be twice as careful, to keep their reputation, money, and morality.
A few people think that superheroes always have fun, inside and outside of their jobs. They believe that their role models live ideal lives.
However, superheroes have a lot to worry about, including stress, fear, love, and even- depression. Beast Boy was a sure guarantee of that.
He sat on the roof and looked out on the city. The mesmerizing lights glowed in the dying light, and everything seemed so distant, so far away. The only things around him were the soft breath of the wind and the hum, buzz, and rush of the city and the water. All other things were of no thougt to the Titan.
But not his pain. As he watched the sunset, he relived all the worst moments in his life.
When he failed his parents.
When he was forced to do terrible things.
When he was beaten and tortured, as a decoy or distraction, for the sake of the mission.
When he became the Beast.
When Terra didn't trust him.
When Terra betrayed him.
When Terra rejected him.
That had hurt the most. He had thought so surely that they truly loved each other, that they were meant for each other, that they would find a way, through hard times and easy times, though sometimes "the rubber met the road".
He had tried to convince himself that he still loved her, that things hadn't changed, that he had a stability in his life. He tried to make himself believe that everything was alright.
But he failed. He understood that their relationship was lost, that things had indeed changed, that he simply didn't love her anymore. That even though they once had a chance, that chance was forever lost.
And then he wondered what he was going to do next. Keep living the same life, fighting villains, doing the right thing? That seemed like a reasonable thing to do.
But then every time he'd see her, his heart would crumble more and more, until he had nothing left to live.
Or he could end his life now, save himself from the pain and the slow agony of his heart being ripped apart piece by piece, his life being taken away bit by bit.
He was being very selfish, he knew, but his mind was drowned in his sorrows, and his depression overwhelmed him. He ddn't consider the weight of his actions, the cowardice and the evil weaved in between the lines.
He slowly stood up. He didn't hear the roof door opening, or the soft voice saying his name.
Beast Boy? Are you ok?
He leaned over the edge.
