A/N: Just something that came to mind. Young Justice kinda kicked me back to my love of classic heroes. Robin was a Titan… So anyways, ONTO THE STORY!

Set in Stone
He was there everyday. Beast Boy never failed to show up. I think he was only gone for a few weeks once. I figured it was a hero thing. But every other day, he was there. It was Beast Boy. He was like a dog, loyal to the end.
I remember that he brought books down with him. He read to me sometimes. He read me a lot of stories. And a couple of poems. It was almost like he knew I was conscious beneath the stone that held me prisoner.
I was capable of feeling everything around me. My mind was constantly whirling with thoughts and emotions, but my physical body was set in stone. I was trapped, unable to do anything. Beast Boy didn't even seem to take notice. It was like I was still living and everything.
He placed roses at the base of the rock more than once. I wanted to cry. I wanted to thank him. I wanted to show him that I cared the same way he did. I just wanted to be free so I could let him know how sorry I was for what I did for Slade. I wanted him to know how bad I felt. But I was a prisoner of rock.
He would tell me about the bad guys he fought. More than once I watched him do a reenactment. The noises he made for lasers and guns were hilarious to listen to. He was just so funny... I wish I could've told him that. He always wanted someone to call him funny.
But I blame that on Raven and all her negativity. She doesn't realize how strongly it affects the people around her.
I think Beast Boy was just a lost puppy. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know where to go. He didn't know what was going on. So he just went on like it was every other day. He treated me like I was still able to move. BB just knew how to do things right and he made me laugh on the inside when he kept on acting as if I wasn't frozen in stone.
He talked a lot. He said how much he missed me. I could actually feel the sadness coming off of him. His cute pointy little ears would droop down. His eyes would avert from me and stare at the cold ground. I hated it when he looked sad. It made me feel so guilty for leaving him all alone out in the big world. I didn't want to leave him alone, but I did it to save him and his friends and probably all of Jump City.
I was a monster. He had reined me. I was uncontrollable. He tamed me. Beast Boy was like a magic cure for anything and everything.
If I hadn't been frozen in stone, I would've grabbed him every day and given him all the hugs he could ask for and I would've laughed at all of his jokes and we would've skipped rocks out on the water. We would've lived the way he wanted to. Maybe I preferred a life buried in rock, but he wanted me. All I wanted was for him to be happy. And he would be happy as long as I was with him. He even seemed to be happy with me even when I was set in stone.
