I own nothing

Chapter 2

Beastboy just stood there starting to shake uncontrollably, he could not believe what he was looking at his whole team couldn't.

"This can't be real" Beast boy muttered, Robin walked up beside him and put his hand on his shoulder

"Beastboy relax they are just symbols they could mean anything as far as we know"

Beastboy looked back at Robin with a face that was completely drained of emotion. It was as if Beast boy was glaring at Robin the way Raven glares at him when he and Cyborg ask her to referee stank ball.

Robin removed his arm from Beastboy after sensing that he was not in the mood to be comforted. Beast boy began to walk towards the two signals that were directly next to each other.

The brotherhood of evil logo had always been the same. The three half circles with the brain while he was inside his demonic shell that represented him showing an evil grin. Underneath those three foot drawings in the sand there appeared to be a few words written in English but they were small enough that they couldn't be read
"Hey Cy do you think you can see this?" Beast boy yelled out to Cyborg. Cyborg began to walk up to the signal where he crouched down next to Beastboy.
"Let me take a look" Cyborg proclaimed as he began to focus his attention on the symbol.

Cyborg began to adjust his red eye and began to zoom in on the small writings as the rest of the titans looked on puzzled.

"What do you think it is saying?" Raven asked

" I don't know but it looks as if it was written by a four year old" Cyborg replied as he continued to work on figuring it out

" Here let's give him a hand Starfire" Robin chimed in as Starfire began to illuminate her hands over Cyborg trying to make the words light up as
Robin struck up a couple of flares around the symbols. It was only 9 but still the darkness was about to be at its' strongest.

Raven and Beastboy stood back as they watched the other three worked on the symbol.
Raven was still bothered at how quickly she got mad at Beastboy about asking her to hang out and she thought that this would be a good time to apologize.

"Hey Beastboy about earlier I just want-" Beastboy simply raised his hand up to stop her from talking.

"Rae I know its fine" Beastboy stated. He wasn't in the mood for an apology he was only focused on figuring out what the message under the symbol meant. Besides an apology from Raven didn't really mean much to him at this point. I'm done being the only one trying to get her involved she can shove her fake apology square up her ass if that stick hasn't taken up all of the space.

His reply really bothered Raven, she didn't understand why he was so worried about these words. It is probably just some stupid threat and didn't have to be a dick. All I wanted to do was apologize. Suddenly a disturbing thought hit Raven like a truck had just run her over. Does he feel this way when he tries to talk to me?

"Guys look I think I figured it out was it says" Cyborg yelled which forced Raven to break her train of thought as the titans all converged on the symbols. " After doing a scan I was not able to find any finger prints but I was able to find out what those words were."

The team listened in
" It says "you failed them, You let Mark and Marie die" whatever the hell that means." Cyborg looked up for the team's reaction. The rest of the team moved towards cyborg to get more info but one stayed back.

Beastboy could not believe what he had just heard. He felt his body starting to shake again as he clinched his fist. He felt his ears get hot and all of his emotions were rushing through his head. He started to walk backward and from his shock he began to well up.

The rest of the titans were standing around the symbol discussing about what the message meant if anything at all but Beastboy knew he knew all too well. Starfire looked back at him to see why he was not engaged in the discussion.

"Friend why do you not partake in the act of investigating?" asked Starfire with curiosity and concern.

Beastboy said nothing he stared at the ground trying to fight back the tears but a few of them began to run down his face. At this point the rest of the titans were all staring at him especially Raven. She had never seen Beastboy like this, he never was upset over everything Stop crying, please stop crying Beastboy The sight of him like this bothered her more than she realized.

Starfire spoke out again "Friend what is troubling you?" Beastboy was now visibly crying but whipped his nose and cleared his throat to speak

" I know what the message means" he talked with a heavy tone and as soon as he got the words out he began uncontrollably sobbing. Beastboy becoming dizzy and sat down on the ground and as soon as his he hit the ground the rest of his friends moved toward him.

Raven leaped to his side and grabbed his hand as Cyborg Raven and Robin moved towards to assist him.

" Get away from me" Beast boy sobbed out as he ripped his hand away from Raven and made his way back to his feet

"Beastboy calm down" Robin yelled out

"Yeah dude you gotta chill out and tell us why your upset" Cyborg added

Beastboy was still backing up slowly trying to collect himself and was finally ready to speak

"The message is personally meant for me" Beastboy said still visibly upset

"Beastboy how do you know that?" asked Robin as he walked closer to Beastboy trying to comfort him.

Beastboy backed up until he reached he reached the t-car " I know because I know who Mark and Marie are." As he said that he turned and put his face on the hood of the t-car sobbing uncontrollably once again.

"Awh man just don't get any boogers on it" Cyborg said softly trying to cheer his friend up.

"Beastboy who are they are they working for the Brain? Did they help the brotherhood of evil escape from being frozen?" Robin asked sternly

Beastboy rose up from the car with a look of pure anger and raw emotion he stared right in Robin's masked eyes "No they would never they couldn't anyway."

"Beastboy just calm down and tell us" Raven said quietly she walked up and placed his hand softly on his chest. This immediately made Beastboy calm down. There was something about Raven that made him calm down and feel comforted. He was still mad at her and he wanted nothing to do with her but there was something about this instance that helped him. The way she was touching him and looking at him it made him feel so safe.
But now isn't the time for what he was feeling about Raven he had to let the team know. He had this bottled up for so long he was finally ready to get it off his mind.

"Okay okay um" Beastboy whipped his eyes and composed himself Raven took her hand off of him so he could begin to speak.
" The reason I know about Mark and Marie is because um they" Beastboy began to stutter and he began to feel light headed as he kept on speaking. He looked at his teammates and saw that they were hanging on his every word.

" They were close to me um this is hard to talk about."
Beastboy kept searching for the right words but he still felt sick and he felt as if he was going to pass out right on the spot.

"Just say it man." Cyborg reassured his best friend. It was bothering him seeing Beastboy like this and he just wanted him to get it off of his chest. For him and the benefit of the team the stress was killing them.

"They were scientists I lived with in Africa and they are the reason why I am like this, they saved me."

" Were they your care takers?" Starfire asked innocently

" Yea well they were more than that, a lot more than that"

" Well what were they?" Robin asked sternly

"They- they were my parents"

And before he could get the last syllable out Beastboy felt the air leave his lungs and as he turned he dropped hitting his head on the t car hood and passed out on the ground.
