Unstable - Chapter 3: Trust
The topic of revealing his origins was a painful topic indeed, these are memories he tries to forget, could he trust his friends with something so personal?
"That's personal.. I don't even like talking about it let alone thinking about it.."
The team gave him worried looks and Cyborg spoke up with a sigh, "Dude, whatever's happening to you, it's genetic and it's killing you.."
Starfire spoke next, "More information on your genetics may allow for a cure.."
Then Robin, "This is serious, you could die, we need to know.."
And lastly, Raven, "We.. I.. Don't want you to die, I know that whatever's told in your origin, it's a painful memory.. But the information can save your life…"
Beast Boy was getting a headache from all the talking going on around him, or maybe it was whatever was killing him, "Fine.. My life is prolonged as a green mutate.. And with my unstable DNA finally falling apart, The 'original cure' is wearing off… So yes.. I'm dying.. Just like I knew I would…"
"'Original cure'?" Robin raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?"
Raven being an empath was noticing that Beast Boy was becoming increasingly frustrated, which worried her.
This became obviously with Beast Boy's response, glaring at Robin in anger, but the anger wasn't directed at Robin, "I was just as stupid as I am now.. I contracted a disease that was sure to kill me.. Animals were immune.. My dad was a scientist so.. 'Mad-Science', his 'cure' mutated me into this.. It didn't kill the disease, it only stalled it.. By fusing my DNA with that of animals, my genetic structure became unstable, and as time passed.. That only got worse.. My life is prolonged.. Just like I said the first time…"
Cyborg asked the next question carefully, "Why don't we just contact your dad? He could help us out with a cure.."
Beast Boy suddenly stood up and avoided eye contact, but Raven got a glimpse before he got up, there were tears.
"My parents died when I was 6.. And it's my fault.. I was too weak to save them!"
Shocked at his outburst, they watched as Beast Boy retreated towards the hallway but left them with one final statement, "I'm not worth saving.."
Raven slowly got up to her feet, "I'll talk to him.."
