Bloody Tears
Chapter 2: Captured
"We all have a beast inside, but god help the poor soul who can't control his…"
Beastboy awoke to brilliant light shining in his eyes. With a groan he pulled his covers over his head trying to block it out, but it wasn't working, he didn't remember the window in his room being big enough to let in this much damn light. He began to turn over to bury his head into the mattress when a sudden jolt of pain struck him.
It was blinding, if he had been standing he would have fallen to his knees. He immediately curled into a ball his arms wrapped tightly around his mid-section until it passed. Once it was gone he no longer wanted to sleep, so he sat up slowly as a dull throbbing settled in his gut. When the blanket slid off his head he found himself staring out at the ocean.
The hell, the ocean, quickly looking around he realized he was in the living room. And the memories of the night washed over him. The pain, the vomiting, finally staggering into the living room and falling asleep on the couch.
Sliding into his kitten form he bounced off the couch and stretched his furry little legs, than a new prang of pain showed itself, quickly shifting back to his human form he got up rubbing his neck.
Than the throb in his stomach began to intensify. And it was a race to the kitchen sink, but luckily he didn't have anything left in his stomach so there was nothing left to expel. And just then the alarm went off.
"Report!" yelled Robin as he entered the command center located on the top floor just above the living room. Cyborg was sitting at the super computer against the far wall. A map of the city was displayed on the screen and flashing red light highlighted the place of the crime.
"Hive, there back and are holding hostages at a charity ball in Heston tower." Said Cyborg reading the crime Sean report.
"That doesn't sound like their MO, their about banks, money. Why hostages?" asked Raven standing in the shadows against the wall. Starfire floated over behind Cyborg and looked over the information displayed on the monitor.
"It doesn't matter, we have to stop them." Said a faint voice from behind them which made them all turn to look, And there they saw Beastboy leaning against the doorframe trying to look stronger than he felt.
"I agree." Said Robin "But you need to stay behind, you're still too weak..."but Beastboy cut him off right there.
"Don't give me that crap you spiky haired little tweety bird, I could mop the floor with your ass any day." Yelled Beastboy with an amazing amount of venom in his voice. And than the pupils of his eyes gained and almost catlike look to them.
After a second he seemed to regain control over himself. And after mumbling a sorry he staggered out of the room clutching his gut. "Well that was interesting." Said a rather annoyed Robin.
"Has friend Beastboy lost his orbs of marble?" asked starfire innocently looking around for an answer. But everyone was unusually quiet.
Than without a warning, Cyborg got up and walked over to the door "Gizmo and the others are giving the cops an hour to meet their demands, so I'll meet you all in the garage in five minutes."
"Shouldn't saving the hostages be first priority?" asked Raven pushing off the wall and walking into the center of the room.
"It is." Said Cyborg simply than he continued to the door "Five minutes." He called back as the door slid closed behind him. For moment nobody said or did anything until Robin's voice sounded
"You heard him to the garage." He stated than Taking Starfire's had lead them to the elevator that would take them to their destination.
In his room Beastboy was franticly looking for something. Tearing his bed apart, Turning out his dresser drawers, pulling everything out of his closet. Next he stalked over to his bunk-beds and after getting grip on the frame with one giant heave, using strength far beyond his normal proportions threw the bed across the room.
Cyborg entered the room at that exact second and sidestepped out of the way of the flying metal. Hearing the sound of Cyborg's movements alerted Beastboy to his presents,
He turned and bared his teeth, and even as Cyborg watched Beastboy's canine teeth were growing, and sharpening. But showing no fear Cyborg passed the threshold and now he was standing in the middle of the room.
"Here." Cyborg said calmly holding out a small unlabeled bottle of tiny pink pills. At the sight of the bottle the changeling lunged at the bottle and grabbed it with clawed hands and struggled to open the cap. After a moment of unsuccessful turning he uttered a long low feral animal growl.
"Let me." Said Cyborg slowly keeping eye contact with his growling friend holding out his hand, and after a moment at which Beastboy contemplated tearing off the metal man's hand and gnawing on it while enjoying his screams, he thrust the bottle into it instead.
Still moving slowly Cyborg opened the bottle and held out a single pill to the glaring changeling, who immediately shoved it into his mouth and waited….than he doubled over his eyes closed in pain as fire seemed to consume his whole body, than with a strangled scream he fell to the floor.
Cyborg kneeled beside the changeling but he couldn't do anything, not until it was over. So he just watched as his body seemed to shrink, as he went into convulsions from the pain, until he lay still on the ground breathing shallowly. At that point he helped his small friend up.
"That was a bad one, huh." Said Cyborg as the changeling got his footing, than he pulled away once he was able to stand on his own.
"Its getting worse every time." Said Beastboy quietly looking around at the destruction he had caused, his bed had been destroyed as wall as his dresser, and most everything else in his room. He bent to pick up a few shirts, and with his back still to Cyborg said darkly "I didn't think I would come back this time, I thought it had finally taken over."
Hearing this Cyborg put on a false smile and tried to inject hope in his voice as he said "don't worry little buddy, I just up the dosage in the pills, every thing will be fine."
"No it won't"
"What?" asked Cyborg a little confused.
"Every time you up the dosage it gets a little harder to transform." Said Beastboy as her stopped trying to clean the room and met Cyborg's eyes "anymore and I think I'll lose my power all together" than I won't be able to protect her he finished silently. This time Cyborg didn't have anything to say.
"That's not the worst of it." He continued no longer able to meet the older Titans' eyes. "I can hear it all the time now, whispering just beneath the surface, begging for blood." Cyborg had heard none of this before, so all he could do was stand there and listen.
"When I first transformed into…it, wasn't the first time I felt its influents." Mumbled Beastboy sitting down on his over turned dresser.
"What?" repeated Cyborg now completely lost.
"I heard it for the first time a little while after I first found out I could transform." He said looking up "why do you think I don't eat meat, or never go all out during a fight? It's because I'm afraid I lose it and go on a rampage."
"Really" asked Cyborg a little breathless.
"No I'm just telling you this for kicks!" he growled causing Cyborg to step back. But getting control of himself said "Sorry dude"
"So'kay." Said the metal man, than cautiously "You know we should tell Robin"
At this Beastboy's pupils once again became slits. But only for a second before he answered "Yah I'll tell him after you get back."
"Oh yah!" Yelled Cyborg suddenly realizing that it had been longer than five minutes. "Sorry man gotta go." Than hurried out the door.
"No prob." Said Beastboy quietly as the door closed him off from the rest of the tower. He got up and headed out the door, planning on going to lie down on the couch and try to sleep off this stomach virus that was once again making itself known.
Beastboy couldn't sleep on the couch; He had begun to wonder how he had done it last night. So instead he had been flipping around through the cartoons, but everyone knew there weren't any good ones between one and four, because of school.
So finally he settled on some new show about a crime fighting hamster. Even Beastboy had to agree that the networks were stretching for ideas. But he settled back and got into it, so when the news bulletin came on he had to hunt around for the remote until he herd the broadcaster say "Teen Titans."
At those words he sat up straight up and watched the screen with hawk-like intensity.
It switched to a shot of a tall office building as the news caster started to speak. "Earlier today the Titans came to the rescue of the city, only to be over powered by the criminal organization calling themselves "The Hive."
Than it switched to a recoding of their fight and the caption said it was several minuets ago. He couldn't see anything wrong with there attack patterns or teamwork, but there was something different about the Hive. They all seemed the same Gizmo, Private Hive, and Seymore. But than the Hive started pulling out all new moves, and started winning!
He immediately started planning an attack taking into account that although the pain of the virus was pretty much gone he still was to weak to lift jack or shit. But than that train of thought was de-railed by Mammoth literarily pounding Raven into the ground. Rage replaced reason and the tiny voice at the back of his head screamed for blood.
With a feral Growl he stormed to the door and ran to the garage. Every thought of his weakness gone, failure was out of the question. He will make Mammoth pay.
He ran into the middle of the garage and looked around for a second, than he spotted Robin's bike. A second later he shot into the underground tunnel connecting the island to the mainland with thoughts of revenge Tearing their way across his mind.
