Notes:

please comment; I'm begging you! Don't be shy! Comments mean a lot to a writer or a artist (I'm both; hah!) and motivates them to write more.
collector in this fanfic has nothing to do with the one in marvel and the name just popped into my head .
this comic is all my imagination and hard work . I'm not a comic reader; we don't have comics here. X(

so... don't check your comics for what you'll read, or say that it's not like that.

this is a flash back of what happened with Beast Boy and Raven.

four months ago :

It was a sunny day, the Titans were minding their own business, Star and Robin were sitting together enjoying the other's company, Cyborg fixing the tower's jammed systems, Raven meditating in her room and Beast Boy was cooking.

It was a calm day, everyone were relaxing; everything was great for the five superhero teens. Until a red lamp turned on and off every second and a beeping sound disturbed a great afternoon.

"ugh! the crime alert." Robin growled.

It was the fifth crime in three days! The crime wave had everyone tired and frustrated.

Raven walked in the ops room and groaned. "What now?" She said in her now not so monotone voice.

Boy Wonder looked at his communicator. "It's an unknown villain."

Beast Boy who had just arrived led out a frustrated sigh. "Oh great! We needed a villain that we don't know his or her weakness."

"Titans...Go..."

In front of the five teen heroes was a tall man with long pony tailed black and gray hair; wearing a green suit and black gloves. His eyes emotionless and cold, blue and green; he didn't look that though at the first sight, None of the titans were expecting him to be a very powerful super villain that even the all powerful demoness Raven couldn't defeat.

Cyborg said with confident overflowing from him. "He's nothing like a criminal; I don't know why the crime alert started, it was probably a false alarm."

"Don't be this sure of yourself little cyborg, it wasn't a false alarm; but... I'm only here for the shape shifter." Said the man walking toward them with long and proud steps.

Cyborg laughed, not believing that he'd possibly be able to defeat any of them. "What do you want to do with him? You can't even fight him."

A creepy smirk appeared on the old man's face, he looked very confident for an ordinary guy; "Oh, can't I?" You could see a faint glance of yellow spark in his hands.

Robin attacked him with a simple move expecting it to work, but the man Drove away fast and grabbed him by the cape, smashing him to the ground like he was as light as a feather.

furious of her boyfriend's injury; Starfire attacked him with a powerful beam from her eyes; but he simply made a mirror appear out of no where, and the laser turned back and hit Starfire herself. The power of star's laser grew stronger when it hit the unusual mirror; the boosted beam hit Koriand'r, it was powerful enough to knock her out and burn her hair until under her ears.

It was Cyborg's turn, before he could do any thing, the man opened a fire hydrant near by with his mind, and controlled the water to go and jam the half robot teen's system. Cyborg couldn't move. "what just happened?!" He said in shock and disbelief, trying to move his arms and legs but just making it worse. His electronic parts sparked and he fell down. "Seriously?!"

Robin, Raven and Beast Boy were still in the game; Robin attacked him with his best moves but the man was much better.

When Boy Wonder threw some of his bird-a-ranges at him, the man controlled them toward Robin himself with his mind. Richard ran away from his own weapons quickly, but where ever he went they followed him; even with Raven and Beast Boy helping, it was no use.

Robin jumped high above the ground with the help of his grappling hook but those bird-a-ranges didn't follow him and stayed floating; realizing it's the best moment to explode them with some other, he reached his belt; only being left with the realization that he had none left.

Raven and Beast Boy were still fighting, shielding themselves from the old man's lasers and beams and unable to help. As Robin was falling down with no chance of going back up, bird-a-ranges fell to the ground and exploded as his feet touched the ground.

Dark sorceress and the changeling were still fighting, they were the hardest to hit and to fight with for the man, but he was powerful and smart enough to know what to do.

"Azarath Metrion Zintose!" Young sorceress cast a spell, and tried to hit the man with a black magic fist; but he suddenly grew big and pushed the fist away. The giant fist hit Raven, making her bump into a wall with much force. Raven's head cracked, blood running from her head; her alabaster face now covered in red, her eyes going blank, she couldn't see or move, but she could hear.

"RAVEN!"

Cyborg could fix his parts, Robin wasn't that hurt since he ducked the boomerangs, Starfire was strong. but Raven, that was crossing the line; Beast Boy cared about the young empath more than anyone, a strong rage came from his heart making him seek revenge.

Young changeling snarled; his claws getting longer and tearing a hole in his gloves. His mad eyes now yellow and pupil-less; he grew larger and grew furs. He was now the beast.

beast fought with much power and force but he was tired after a long battle battle; he shrunk and morphed back into the green shape shifter he once was, tired and weaker than before.

The man cackled and captured all of his teammates, gathering them in a small bubble.

Young changeling was still standing and fighting, but he was truly drained, he was hardly breathing. "Who - who are you?" He asked the man panting and pleading for air; his lungs missing the energy for breath. Jade skinned teenager was tired, hurt and bleeding; that old man was too powerful but he couldn't give up- He had to fight, stay strong and save them.

Old man said with a smirk. "you, can call me, Collector. I absorb every kind of power and skill from their owner."

"Then...why didn't you take their powers?" Beast Boy asked to take time for pulling some air into his chest and regain his power, his mind was blank of lack of air and he couldn't imagine anything to turn into.

Meanwhile Collector replied. "Because I already have those, even better," His eyes started to spark in red.

"but, there is one power I wanted... Yours! Your shape shifting power is one of the rarest and I want it, SO STOP MOVING SO I CAN GET YOUR POWER!"

Collector yelled as he started attacking Beast Boy again, even though young changeling couldn't morph, he still had quiet impressive martial art skills so any time Collector tried to absorb his power he jumped or slipped away from his beam.

Collector saw he can't get his powers; he stopped attacking. "Your really tired and weak right now... So I want to have a deal with you..."

"If you want to save your friends before they run out of air, give me your power." He tightened the bubble "or, else..."

Beast Boy had fought really hard and he was really tired, he had tried every thing; but he was bleeding badly and had deep wounds on his body. Robin and Raven couldn't breath easily any more and young empath was losing a lot of blood, her face was covered with blood and paler than ever.

Young changeling looked at Raven, his heart was burning inside and out when looking at how weak the all mighty Raven looked, He finally Surrendered. "OK! take my power and free them."

"NO!" When the Unconscious half demoness heard those words coming out of Beast Boy's mouth she gained her last powers left to stand up and tell him not to give up like he never does, but the words she was trying to say weren't the words she was able to.

Raven shouted. "IT'S NOT WORTH IT!" She fainted again hoping he wouldn't give up .

"YOUR LIVES IS WORTH IT!" His voice softened. "Specially you, Raven... You're losing a lot of blood; you and Robin can't stand this low air anymore, you can-you can die! I'm-I'm so sorry Raven but I have to."

'I don't want to lose another family; I have to protect them and that's an oath, to myself and to my parents. and I'll never let that promise break again even if it caused my life.'

"TAKE MY POWERS AND FREE THEM!"

"you made the best Choice... Garfield mark Logan" Beast Boy's eyes widened,'how does he know my full name? The only one who does is my so called uncle. does he know anything else about me?'

"y-you know my name?!"

Collector answered with a smirk, "I know more than that Beast Boy... I know a lot more about Logan family than you know yourself. I'm closer to you than you think." His smirked widened. "Now... for the sake of your friends, do we have deal?"

Beast Boy didn't have a choice, he sighed and nodded. Collector's hands sparked with a yellow light; he blasted the young changeling and smiled as he heard him howl in pain.

bubble prison popped and the titans fell on the ground; but before they could do anything, collector was a gray hawk and gone.

once Raven pulled enough air into her chest she yelled at Beast Boy "ARE YOU NUTS ? WHY DID YOU GIVE YOUR POWERS TO HIM?"

Beast Boy looked up; his eyes no longer glowing emerald. But a piercing and emotionless ice blue, very close to white but still noticeable; his eyes were filled with tears.

"B-Beast Boy? Hey, I didn't mean to yell; I-I know you wanted to save us. I-I'm just frustrated that's all." Raven said as looked at the devastated face of the green changeling softly; she suddenly felt weak at the knees and fell down.

"I gotcha Rae!" Beast Boy said as he grabbed her right hand with his right hand and pulled raven before she fell; Raven gasped in surprise, clasped her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest as he picked her up gently.

Starfire grabbed Cyborg, who was really embarrassed of his quick defeat.

Raven could feel her heart pounding on her chest; she didn't quiet notice she was smiling at Beast Boy. Jade skinned teen smiled softly with a faint blush covering his cheeks. "Hey Raven... You have a cute smile..." Young empath's cheeks darkened and her smile widened lightly; Beast Boy smiled back at her and carried her to the tower.

but that wasn't the end..., what shuttered Raven was when collector striked again.

To be continued ...
