A Mirror for the Soul
-----------------
Ok peeps this is my first attempt at a multi-chapter story. I've got this big idea of where I want it to go, but not a lot of time to write it. I've got finals starting in two weeks so I thought I'd put up what I've got done so far for reviews and start on the next chapters on May 18.
So here we go:

Disclaimer Sketch
Dystant: Tell them Starfire!
Starfire: Friend Dystant does not own the Teen Titans, though he does try really hard.
Robin: Hey! What are you doing with Starfire! Why is she dressed like that?
Starfire: But Robin, Friend Dystant told me all his people in the UK dress like this, and by doing so I was helping him get rid of the sick home feeling.
Robin: Everyone in the UK wears bunny suits? Grrr!
Dystant: Right Star, I'm going to run and get these pictures developed before Robin kills me.
Robin: You… took… PICTURES! Reaches for Bo staff
Dystant: Um… on with the story! Runs for his life

Prologue: Fading Away
When he awoke he found himself in the familiar sterile white surroundings of the Titan Tower Medical Wing. Cyborg, his half-human best friend, was sitting at a consol to his left. The staccato rhythm of prodigiously fast typing was the only sound to fill the silent void of the imposing ward. The ECG was not seen as necessary this time. In a way he missed the beep, at least it confirmed him as still being slightly human. Well most of the time anyway.
"Nice to see you awake B," said the mechanoid, "We're all getting a little freaked over this, so Robin's ordered me to do some tests."
He glanced over at the monitors his friend was watching and caught site of some complex graph entitled Subject DNA Analysis. Was that all he was now, a research subject? He found himself subconsciously changing, finding himself in the shape of a guinea pig a heart beat later. His now small beady eyes noticed the now gigantic Cyborg suddenly frown at one of the monitors before glancing down to the bed.
"Um B, I'd appreciate you staying human until the tests have finished, you switching plays hell with the data collection."
"Sorry," he replied as he switched back to what he though of as his default setting.
His gaze returned to the bright walls that surrounded him, an unbidden thought of 'my room will never be this clean' entering his head. His subconscious was definitely on a roll today. He wondered if it came from there, as Raven had said. Was it really a part of him? He used to hang onto the thought that it was some genetically engineered monstrosity that was gone after the antidote (at least until he got a headache from the big words), but now it was coming out in nearly every confrontation. Maybe he was the monster. Maybe all the instincts he'd suppressed over the years to keep himself human were finally taking over. Maybe Beast Boy was disappearing, lost to the primal fiend within.

Dystant: Ok one more initial chapter to upload, I hope you like the concept. Tell me what you think!
Starfire: Please send us your reviews! Without them friend Dystant will never improve!
Robin: Why is Star still wearing that outfit!
Raven: And why wasn't I in this chapter!
Dystant: Heh… Look a UFO! Points behind approaching Titans
Raven: That only works on Beast Boy
Dystant: Please don't hurt meeee!
