Chapter 2: Gar
AN: I do not own anything in this story. Please R&R. Thank you to all the reviewers and readers.
Beast Boy quickly morphed back into his normal form and thought about what Raven had said. She didn't want to see him, most likely wouldn't even care if he died tomorrow. A wave of depression hit the changeling's heart. For the longest time he had a crush on Raven but was always too nervous to tell her. Tears sprung forth from his eyes and he started crying. Just then he heard loud mocking laughter all around him.
"Who's there?" A cruel voice answered him.
"Look in the mirror." Beast Boy did as he was asked and was shocked at what he saw. A man with long blond hair and cruel brown eyes looked back at Beast Boy.
"Who are you? Are you me?" The man started laughing.
"Who are you? Are you me? Listen to yourself, you sound like an idiot. It's sad that you've forgotten me brother." Beast Boy's mind flashed back to just after his parent's died. He was sitting in a field covered in blood and he was crying. Suddenly the child heard a voice in his mind. They hurt us, brother. So I killed them and now no one will ever hurt us again. The child sitting in the grass suddenly had a cruel smile on his face. Beast Boy started shaking his head, to deny what was before him.
"No, you can't exist."
"But I do, you see I've been locked in that gray matter you call a mind for the longest time. You've held me back with your stupid antics and goofing off but now that you've started acting normal again I'm finally able to get my life back. And to think it's all thanks to that witch."
"Don't call her that." Beast Boy growled at the mirror.
"Don't try and act tough around me, I know that deep down you're a pathetic crybaby. Remember after mother and father started the shockings and the beatings? You created a little fantasy world in your head that you had a loving family, that you got bit by a green monkey and infected, when the reality was you were created to be a freak. I stopped those bastards from hurting us and what did I get in return? Imprisonment, but I must admit the view was spectacular from your brain. Especially Raven, I wonder what her lips taste like." Beast Boy's body then twitched and jerked around and his hands went for his throat. The changeling started screaming at the top of his lungs. But just as soon as it started the teen stopped screaming and removed his hands from his neck. Gar looked at his green reflection with disgust.
"I'll need to change that." Concentrating, the changeling's skin turned pale white and his hair became blond and grew out in a mane down his shoulders. Lastly the changeling's fangs receded and his eyes turned brown. "Perfect." Just then someone started knocking on his door. "Come in."
Raven had been meditating when she heard Beast Boy screaming. The empath had quickly stopped what she was doing and ran towards his room. She knocked and she heard Beast Boy tell her to come in. There was something different about his voice though, it sounded darker somehow. When she opened the door what she saw surprised her. A blonde haired man was staring at her with a glint in his brown eyes. Composing herself, Raven spoke.
"Gar?" The man nodded.
"Raven, just who I wanted to see. Bet you didn't know that I could do this did you?" He said.
"How is this possible?"
"I'm just more confident in my power now, that's all. Though I must say thank you, without your berating me this wouldn't be possible. How can I ever repay you?" The man seemed to think and then suddenly came closer. Raven started to back away but the man held her tight. Then he leaned in and gave Raven the greatest kiss she had ever experienced. Her mind screamed at her to get away from Beast Boy but her body shut down that directive and continued kissing him. Eventually he broke away, a smile on his face and he licked his lips. "Mmm, sweet."
"Why did you do that?" Rave finally said her mind a little bit dazed.
"I've been wanting to do that since I first laid eyes on you. Oh I have a good joke for you, Rae, what do you call a stuck up, bitchy blonde?" Raven didn't respond. "Terra." Then he started laughing.
"It's Raven." The empath replied in her monotone.
"I'll call you whatever I like, Rae." The man said in a more menacing tone. "Beast Boy's gone. I'm Gar. And you should be glad I'm finally in control, that little shit won't bug you anymore, you'll be free to float in the air all day long to your little black heart's content." Raven then came up to slap him but Gar caught her hand with ease.
"What have you done with him?"
"I've merely taken back my life. And now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go see someone." Gar then left, the empath too stunned to really do anything. What had he meant when he said Beast Boy was gone? She ran after Gar but the man had left. She then went to find Robin, hoping that the Boy Wonder could help save their friend.
Gar walked towards Terra's cave whistling to himself. That little witch must have gotten a real kick out of my thank you, don't you think Beast Boy? Inside his own mind, the changeling could only watch as Gar walked up to Terra's statue and crushed it to rubble. And now that we've gotten rid of the blonde bitch, let's go visit her master, shall we? Gar then shut off any responses from Beast Boy and walked towards Jump City, a smile on his lips.
