Beastboy's feet squished in the mud as he trekked through the jungle. The air was hot and sticky, the sounds of birds were heard in the distance and bugs flew everywhere. Normal people may not like being in a place such as this but to him he was home. Sure he had made a home in Titans Tower with all of his friends but it was never really a home like he found in Africa. He continued to through the jungle for a few more minutes until he came to a clearing.
The grass was so green and wet, his toes curled around the soft blades of grass. A waterfall roared to his left. The changeling walked towards the water and dipped his hands in the cool rushing water and poured it over his face. It was extremely refreshing to him. When he looked into the water he saw not himself, but a young boy. Still green but this boy must have been five or 6 years old. For some reason though this did not bother him, he looked up and saw a man and a woman in a raft which was quickly heading towards the water where they would fall to their deaths.
He raised his hands toward them to tell them to get out of there and get to safety but no words came out of his mouth. The woman looked at him.
"Go Garfield! Turn into a bird and fly away, go!" he quickly complied for some reason and morphed into a bird and flew ahead and watched as the man and woman who the changeling knew to be his parents flew over the edge and watched as they hit the sharp rocks below.
BEEP BEEP BEEP! His eyes opened and he turned off the alarm clock which was blaring in his ears. He quickly gained his composure and blocked out the terrible memory he was just dreaming about. He stood up and looked at himself in the mirror. He was nineteen years old, his figure was muscular yet still looked natural. He had a beard growing on his face that went well with his face sculpture and color. He wondered why he was awake this early at all but he remembered that Robin had told them all to wake up at 7:00 AM for a meeting. It sounded really serious so none of them complained.
He quickly threw on some new clothes and rushed down to the ops where Cyborg was cooking eggs and waffles, Raven was reading one of her depressing novels, Starfire was watching as Cyborg cooked and Robin sat alone staring at the table. He decided he better quickly make some tofu substitutes of the food Cyborg was making so that he could eat with the rest of them. After about a half an hour they ate their breakfast and sat on the couch as Robin stood before them.
"So as you all know all of us are either nineteen or twenty years old." they all nodded their heads.
"Is that what you called us here for? To talk about how old we are?" Cyborg complained
"actually yes. See half of us are no longer teenagers and the other half won't be in a few months. Which is why i've decided to disband the Teen Titans" They all raised their eyes in a combination of shock, misery, and hatred (though not specifically at Robin, just his idea) they all shouted out "WHAT!" in unison.
"Yes, we can no longer be the Teen Titans if we aren't Teenagers anymore, and I've decided to move to Bludhaven and become Nightwing, they need me there more then Jump City needs me" Starfire stood up holding her arm remembering the time when Warp took her to the future and she saw where all her friends wound up.
"I shall go to the packing" she slowly walked away and they all stared at her until the ops doors swished closed. Raven bolted upright and faced Robin.
"What is wrong with you Robin! You know this place is a family to all of us, you might have Batman and Oracle and all of them but none of us have anybody to go to!" "Yeah!" Beastboy chimed in.
"I know that, and Batman has decided that since you all don't have any family or money that he'll give you all some money to help you get where you need to go, whether that's college or an apartment or anything like that."
"Are you nuts man? We don't want your stinking money! We want to remain apart of this tower, of this team, of this family are you brain dead!" Cyborg yelled.
"The decision is final. I'm already packed and i'm going to be leaving in one hour. I expect you all to be gone by the end of the week, the city is going to be destroying the tower. I'm sorry" Robin, now Nightwing walked over to the table and set down his communicator before he left the room.
