Raven's eyes fluttered open, and she sat up, a minute later she was sincerely sorry for moving. Pain laced through her body. Everything hurt. Scratch that everything burned,and it wasn't that-oops I tripped that kinda hurt type of thing. It was more like oh my god I got run over by a bus, why aren't you calling 911 kind of hurt.

She wanted to groan in pain, and confusion, but stubbornly bit her lip. Images whisked in and out of her head, causing a slight migraine. Oh yeah. That's right, that guy had slammed her into a wall…somehow with the backlash from her own freakin powers. Bastard.

She sighed, and closed her eyes, mentally berating her lack of control. Getting angry wasn't going to fix anything, but it would feel oh so good to just beat something into a bloody….ok getting sidetracked. Um, so where was she again? She silently peered around the room, and stared nonsensically at the white walls…Um…Asylum. That can't be right her friends wouldn't do that. Her eyes finally came to rest on her green team mate, sleeping on the table beside her, before dismissing him…..

Wait…What the hell? What was Beast boy doing here? She hesitated, and slowly placed her hand on his shoulder, gently shaking him awake.

"Beast boy…." She shook him harder.

"Beast boy….."

She gave a small smile as her hand was surrounded by a fluorescent black light, and Beast boy was lifted high enough to touch the ceiling, and then without so much as pausing, she cut off the flow of power, and he hit the ground with a thud.

He yelped, and Raven grinned sardonically.

He stood up slowly. Emphatically rubbing his head, and glaring at her. "Was that really necessary?"

Raven gave a nonchalant shrug, wiping her face of any emotions. " I tried to be nice, but apparently you seem to respond to violence better."

Beast boy rolled his eyes, and looked ready to respond but then he just…deflated. His shoulders slumped, and his eyes looked…dead.

Raven's eyes narrowed, at Beast boy's sudden change in demeanor he's not seriously insulted is he? She opened her mouth and to her annoyance the alarm went off.

They all met in the control room, Raven still studying Beast boy out of the corner of her eye. He looked out of place, no, not out of place, out of character. The emotions rolling off him were unusually strong. He was more than a little angry, and even a little afraid. She didn't understand. She was pulled out of her thoughts by Cyborg's voice.

"Rae-," She glared at him. "ven, you really shouldn't be up yet. Even with your abilities there's no way your completely healed yet.

She gave a very unlady like snort. "Cyborg if anyone knows how much I can take, it's me so do me a favor and don't worry about it, ok."

Robin apparently chose then to intervene, before Cyborg could reply. "It's fine Cy we're gonna need her for this one anyways."

They all looked at him expectantly. "We're dealing with a fire. An unnaturally big one. Titans." He looked at each one of them in turn, his gaze lingered on Beast boy, and a feeling of foreboding coursed through her. "There are people in there we have to get them out. The fire is by now to strong to even attempt to save the building itself. We're gonna find the source of this fire, and we're gonna make sure no one dies."

And then of course. "Titan's go."

They all arrived to the sight of the biggest fire they've ever seen. It was a large set of condos, in a ghetto area of town, which explained why the fire fighters weren't there yet. They weren't even in the damn building yet, and they could already feel the ferocity of the fire. Cyborg said what they were all thinking "Shit."

Robin knocked over the nearest fire hydrant, drenching him in a fountain of water. He ran into the building not two seconds later. He traveled up the stairs, cursing as he went. He hoped with every ounce of his cold compassionless heart that almost no one was left in this building. He took another step, and time seemed to freeze. The stair had collapsed.

He reached for the jagged end of the remaining stairwell, and flinched ,as he felt it slice through his hand. It hurt like hell. He glared at it, and slowly pulled himself over up over the ledge.

He wasn't coming back down that way again. He walked slowly up the rest of the way, and was bowled over by a sleazy short bald headed guy, who was coughing up a lung.

" Help me…you have to….help…"

Robin grabbed his arm, taking on the brunt of his weight. One down god knows how many to go.

Starfire flew up through the lobby, drenched in quickly evaporating water. This wasn't good. She's never been particularly good with fires, sure she can shoot green bolts of it out of her hands, and eyes, but that didn't make her immune to getting burned.

She wished at this point, that she had Beast boy's abilities to simply sniff out the victim, or hear him with attuned senses. She would gladly trade powers with him. She sighed, growing anxious. Her gaze snapped forward at the cry of young child.

She increased her speed. Where was it coming from? She circled the hallway shoving open the door, and ignoring the pain her now fried hand was experiencing. A young woman was crouched in the corner, holding a small child to her chest.

Starfire's heart constricted. Where would these people go after they saved them? She flew silently over to them, picking them up like they weighed nothing. They were all getting out of this stupid, demented building.

Cyborg ran into the basement he was making one trip. That was it. He didn't have the juice for prolonged exposure to this damn heat. His mechanics were heat and water resistant, but he wasn't invincible, and wasn't gonna kid himself into thinking otherwise.

Speaking of kids…..

"What are you doing you homicidal midget?"

The midget in question turned away from the game he was playing at the sound of Cyborg's voice.

"What does it look like I'm doing? Playing Mega Monkey's 6"

Cyborg looked at him dead panned. "Do you not smell the smoke, or are you seriously not aware that this building is on fire, and could possibly collapse at any minute?"

"Who cares? I'm about to beat the high score."

For the love…was he this much of brat when he was thirteen. If so he's surprised his parents didn't put him up for adoption, or sell him on ebay, or any combination of the two, just to mix things up.

Cyborg scratched his head, and grabbed the kid's shirt collar, and nonchalantly threw him over his shoulder.

"Put me down….Beep….you sorry piece of…Beep"

(I'm sorry this part is edited)

Cyborg rolled his eyes, and a song randomly popped up in his head. He decided What the hell, and sang along.

"Everybody was kung fu fighting….

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos"

Raven contained another blow of fire as she flew past. This smoke was messing with her brain. Cyborg was right she wasn't ready for a mission.

She sent out her awareness, stretching her senses to the fullest. Someone was there, on her far left. She hovered slightly before a shadowy vortex appeared enveloping her in a black prism.

Raven reappeared pulling slowly out of the portal in the ground, and terrifying the hell out of the person she was suppose to saving.

"Ah..ah…" She watched slightly amused as he trembled, and scrambled away from her, in complete terror.

"Y-y-y-y-y-y-o—u-u….."

She sighed in exasperation. Amusement gone. " I'd be so much more impressed if you talked in complete sentences."

He took another step back, shaking his head.

She rolled her eyes, and grabbed him, incasing him in black energy so he wouldn't accidentally hurt himself.

"Unless you wish to know the new definition of fried chicken I suggest we calmly leave using the nearest exit hmmm….

Beast boy charged up the nineteenth set of stairs, on the nineteenth floor. He was tired, and cranky, and he was gonna murder the architect of this building. He had settled for his wolf form earlier, since, even though technically at this point he couldn't sniff the under side of his butt if he wanted too, the wolf was built for stamina and endurance, and combination that he needed at this point.

He padded through the double set of doors, and listened intently through any sign of life.

"In here..Help…Please"

He froze, and swung his head to face the speaker. He lunged through a door knocking it off its hinges.

There in the middle of the room was a little girl. He couldn't see her clearly. A. because of this damn smoke, and B. because a mess of brown hair outlined her face, hiding her features. He could see she was covered in dirty rags, and bruises covered the majority of her tiny frame.

He took one step forward, and the ground rocked unsteadily beneath him, nearly knocking him over. He growled annoyed, and forced his paws to remain steady despite the stability of the building . He nudged her gently with his nose. They needed to get out of here now. The whole fucking building was coming down.

The small child ran one hand slightly through his fur. "You came…"

He wanted to smile, and say yeah he did, but then something kicked him in the head. This brown headed little girl hadn't said anything, and yet somehow he was able to hear her.

Robin smiled as Raven finally showed up. She was the last one to arrive, and he stared as a young lanky man stumbled out of the portal with her, and looked like he was about to cry. Good lord what did Raven do to him?

She walked silently over to them.

"Friend Raven why did that man…How do you say it 'Look like someone had just threatened to cut his jewels in half."

They all turned to stare at her disbelievingly.

Cyborg gaped at her. "Star do you have any idea what you just said?"

Starfire turned to him confused. "Did I not say that gems of value were to be demolished, and that man would weep in sadness for loss of their worth?"

"No…" Robin grimaced .Where did she hear this crap? That's it .HBO….Yeah. bad idea.

Cyborg snickered.

"Guys…where's Beast boy?"

Robin turned to look at Raven. Since when did she pay attention to Beast boy? Cyborg opened a compartment in his arm, and pressed a series of buttons.

"Yo, B come in." Cyborg's face twisted in confusion.

"B- answer if you hear this come in…"Cyborg look of confusion was slowly turning into worry. "Guys he's not answering his communicator."

"No freakin duh Sherlock." Raven growled.

Looking quickly at Cyborg, then back at the building, feeling disconcerted.

"His communicator is back at the tower."

They all turned to look at Robin. Cyborg was the first to ask a question. "Well if you knew that why didn't you remind him to bring him it with him…"

"It wasn't necessary. He doesn't need it"

Raven's face was one of absolute horror. Obviously she had figured it out. "You didn't…."

Robin glared at her "Didn't what? Speak up Rae."

Raven's face slowly morphed into one of controlled fury. "You jackass….You actually took him off the team didn't you?"

"He was a liabil-," He wasn't allowed to finish, a wave of black magic wrapped around him, throwing him roughly into the still burning building. He cried out as the flames burned his back.

Raven appeared within two inches from his face. "If anything happens to Beast boy I'll make the Joker look like a pleasant memory by the time I'm done with you."

He'd never seen Raven this pissed, not even when Trigon had showed up. He looked, and an expression of utter hatred from Cyborg was just as intimidating. He had no doubt that Raven would have continued her threat, but a side of the building exploded, and Beast boy was still inside.

Beast boy growled, as he felt the ground shake again. Damn it all. He was never going into a burning building again.

"Maybe you won't have to again. If we're unlucky we won't even survive this burning building."

"Kid I like you, but don't speak in my head anymore. It's entirely non helpful "

He gently took her in his powerful jaws, and bounded out of the room. Where was he? He was somewhere in the middle of the building, and he couldn't see. His eyes blurred with tears from the smoke. He bounded down the stairs, and…Crack….The stairs collapsed. His feet went out from under him, and he howled in fury as he felt himself plummeting down the fiery hellhole. The little girl held on to his shaggy neck digging her nails into his fur.

He couldn't change with her attached. If she fell now he wouldn't catch her in time. His claws scraped against anything, and everything trying to catch hold of something to hold on to. They were bleeding, and tufts of fur were falling off, clumps at a time.

He tumbled into wall after wall, fallen support beams scattered the ground, and he realized with grim certainty they were about to impact. He re-maneuvered his tail, and twisted in the air so he would land on his back, the girl on his stomach.

He hit with a yowl. He was had a cracked support beam to soften his landing. It had pierced through his leg, and was going to be a bitch to get out. He struggled to get to his feet. They weren't going to get out, but they weren't going to die.

"Are you insane? You can barely move. What are you doing?"

" Shut up, and let me work."

He snarled. They weren't going to die. He morphed into a mole, and started digging, ignoring the enormous amounts of blood mixing with dirt. He shred at the soil as enormous piles of it flew everywhere.

"Get in."

She stared at him. Unmoving.

"The buildings collapsing. Get in."

She slowly stood up, and got into the ditch. He limped in after her, and curled himself tightly around her. They weren't going to die.

The building collapsed .To everyone's horror. They had spent the better part of an hour, searching through the remains, hoping with what little faith they had left that Beast boy was still alive.

Raven completely ignored Robin, and Cyborg downright refused to acknowledge his existence.

They had built up quite the crowd. Everyone they saved were standing and watching. Silent spectators.

She could feel it Robin wanted to go home, but she wasn't going anywhere without Beast boy.

Then she heard a rumbling….

Beast boy lunged up, bursting out of the pile of rubble,for air panting slightly. He crouched, and as a wolf dragged the girl out. He was tired, and he was going to collapse soon he could feel it.

He padded slowly over the jagged pieces of wood and broken cement, the little girl walking quietly beside him the whole time.

He scented his team approaching, and ignored them, following the more important scent trail.

"Beast boy."

Ignoring him.

Beast boy padded directly up to the crowd of people. Clearly searching for someone. The sleazy guy that Robin saved made his way to the front of the crowd.

"Rayn….my dear little girl…Rayn.."

He moved to touch her or hug her…and immediately stepped back as Beast boy's jaws snapped on the space where his hands had been previously.

" Beast boy knock it off. Let the guy have his kid back."

Beast boy snarled, and to his surprise, and everybody else's Rayn translated for him. " He said fat chance dick head. Especially since you're the one who started the fire."

The sleaze bag chuckled nervously. "What an overactive imagination you have…Rayn." He ended on a low dangerous note, daring her to rat him out.

Beast boy went on in a low series of growls and barks.

The girl giggled softly, and said. " He said Well…if you think she has an imagination. Imagine what kind of things he can dream up while you're running from every kind of horror story animal known to man."

The sleaze's face twisted into an angry sneer. "And you dare to threaten me, when all you can do is hide behind a little girl."

Beast boy snarled, shivering uncontrollably. The change wasn't suppose to hurt, but he wasn't changing he was simply switching out his wolf voice box for a human one… and he was starting to feel light headed while doing it.

He coughed, "You're amusing. You're saying I'm hiding behind Rayn, your child. But in reality, you're describing yourself, you beat your kid…didn't you, and being the sorry excuse for human being you are , you decided hey I'll just leave my cigarette out next to the heater, and then being the cowardly asshole you are you decided hmm…I might die, now that this piece of shit house is burning down, however I might get arrested if I lived, so I'm gonna leave my daughter, the only living witness to die."

The sleaze was practically frothing at the mouth by now. He lunged at Beast boy, and was thrown against the wall by strand of black energy.

Beast boy panted in laughter. "Nice one Rae."

"Raven." She responded immediately.

Beast boy gave her a fanged smile.

"So…what's gonna happen to me?" Rayn trembled. Seemingly shrinking.

"You stay with me…."His voice dripped into ice. "and Robin consider this my last mission. I'm done with the Titans, and….with you."

Beast boy turned, and didn't look back. It was something he was good at. It was one of the few things the Doom Patrol taught him that he took to heart.

I'm done with this chap, just fore warn people i have an issue with consistency you might not get an update for a while.
