Beast boy got out of bed. its been a good six months since he and his friends created this new hero organisation called "Teen Titans" and he really liked it here. checking the time he saw that it was a good twelve minutes before 3:20 that was his normal time to wake up do his workout, real workout.
first a good run. turning on the treadmill he shifted into a small chimp and started to run, the smaller size means the faster he has to run as his leg span was only half its normal size
secondly a good lifting weights, attaching two weight of 20grams to his thumbs he changed into a hummingbird and flaped his wings which now had the weights. the action of moving his wings was the same as lifting weights but more painful as he is lifting 12 times a second. after about five minutes his arms felt like they were about to fall of.
then it was the time for some katas that slade taught him. the entire training ends at 5:45 to 6:00 and then he pretends he got out of bed its just that if someone saw him fighting style then they might question him were he had learnt that, worst if slade used it then robin questions him about why he and slade can use it. so he just doesn't use it
This was the most favourite part of the day, the tower's roof had the best seat if you wanted to see the sun rise and the calm ocean breezes,that was the highlight of the day and then he shiftes into a hawk and flies into the sky higher and higher and then some more untill he can't breathe and then changes back to normal as he falls from a height that is close to where airplane flies. the rush of falling from that height is amazing
time 6:15
Ok team, we are going to increase out time again" robin heard everyone growning, he just didn't understand why they disliked this health exercise
"wow, what an surprise. he is increasing our round, again, for the sixth time, which he has been doing for the last few days, i am totally caught off guard" beast boy spoke with sarcasm all over his voice. but in reality he didn't find it any big deal he did more hard workout than what Robin does.
After completing his training given to him by robin, he wanted to leave as fast as possible he didn't want to stay and have cyborg catch him, no offence he really liked hanging with cyborg but not while eating as cy had loved to eat meat and nothing but meat.
"Bb, what's up. you hungry cause i am starving" cyborg told beast boy while putting his hand on his shoulder
It was at this point beast boy learned if don't want some to see you, that person will be the first to see you "thanks but i got stuff to do" saying that he left
it was evening and he still hasn't eaten anything so he makes his way to the kitchen. and does a full scan and seeing cy wasn't there he searching in the fridge and lucky for him there is a good veg borito. heating it in the oven he starts to look around for more any thing else and finds a good carton of orange juice in the trash and after examining it he sees it was past it's expired date by two days opening it he smells it's and then poured it into his glass[1]. He didn't understand why anyone would want to through away a perfectly good orange juice because it was past it's expired date. his thoughts were brought back into reality when the oven beeped signalling that his borito is ready
Beast boy sat down to eat with a borito and a glass of orange juice. Taking his first bit, he finds there is something not right and a bit more chewing he realises what it is and spits it out and quickly washes his mouth out 'that cyborg he switched the veg borito with a meat one. i should have known i am the only who buys veg food and didn't even buy that'. he decided to simply go and buy something eat.
the next day beast boy was fully allert he didn't want to slip up and again have cyborg's meat in his mouth, ok that didn't come out right.
"hey buddy how are you. hungry. i saved you bacon" cyborg says
"cyborg,stop porking at beast boy. you know he doesn't eat meat" robin says
everyone except for starfire just stared at robin with a mixture of surprise,shock and look on there faces which said 'what the shit was that'
"You didn't get it, it's a pun because cy was talking about bacon and i changed the poke into pork" robin explained but all he received was silence. surprisingly it was raven who sspoke up
"Thank you,robin. for endulgeing us in the meaning of what a pun was and its proper use in real time and clarifying our misassumption. your wittyness has no bound that you are able to change one letter to create a word that describes both the intended word as well as the object of humour" raven says in a monotone while never leaving her eyes of the book.
"why is everything you just said sounds more like an insult than a compliment" robin askes raven
"it's a gift" raven says and continue to read
beast boy again keeps searching for something to eat but all he finds are stacks and stacks of meat products. turning around he knew the answer but still asked the question "who did this week's shopping"
"it was cyborg" starfire said
"ya problem with that bb" cy says while stuffing his face with meat
"ya, i do. you know i don't eat meat" beast boy said "i can turn into everything on your plate, your pretty much eating me"
cy just looked at him and then his plate and then took a bite out of his bacon "man you are delicious"
"you don't care about anything i say do you" beast boy said sadly
"i see you as my best friend but you don't see me in the same way" cyborg replied "on the first day i offered you meat and you refused, i was ok with it but you gave me a bullshit answer saying because you can transform into the animals so you won't eat it"
"beast boy i am part machine, i can detect lies by your contraction in your eyes and body language" cyborg stopped he had finished his meal and wached his hands with water "i understood that you didn't want to talk about your past so i left it but as time goes by you keep saying the same lie over and over again. so i wanted to show you how frustrating it was for me" cyborg left the kitchen
beast boy just started to walk back to his room while taking in all that happened just now, cyborg was right he did lie, 'i didn't want to say the truth and thought if i reapeted a lie long then it will be true but the reality never changed and me too a certain degree didn't believe it either.'
Beast boy looked up and saw that he had reached his room but for some reason he didn't want to enter, he didn't want to go to sleep thinking that everything will be alright, he didn't want to run from his problem. signing, he knew that it was time to face one of his monsters
Beast boy entered the living room and that everyone was there "hello everyone i wanted to say something" beast boy said to everyone "i lied to all of you. i told you i didn't eat meat because i can change into those animals but that was a lie"
"so what is the truth" cyborg askes.
closing his eyes "when i was small i was traded as a weapon from people to people and one of them was a guy named danny, he used to torture me day-in and day-out.and he had this guy names jim who was assigned to 'watch over me', that was if danny was busy with something else. jim was worst" beast boy looked at his fingers "these fingers have been broken so many times by him"
"but i always stayed strong" beast boy signed "untill one day when jim went away and instead of putting someone else he forgot or didn't care"
"so there was no one to harm you right"starfire said with tears in her eyes, she couldn't stand the thought of someone she sees as a little brother in such pain
"yea no one to hurt me but also no food or water as well. it was after two weeks he came back. i was so angry, so sad, so hungry and before i knew it i changed into something, i don't know what it was, if it was a bear or a lion but it was something alright and in that form i ripped and tore and i devoured. and the worst part was i loved the taste of meat, the warm blood. so i don't touch any meat because i might loose my humanity and become nothing but an animal"
"beast boy, it doesn't matter if you did something in the past all that matters is the present and what you will do tomorrow" cyborg said this and handed him a controller "and come on i got this new game and i can't wait to kick your ass all over it"
This was the first side story, yes beast boy ate jim,a human. i know that it is dark but that is how the main story is going to be. unlike my other stories i don't put any date on the next chapter.
