Chapter 4- A Story Worth Telling
"Garfield…"
"Garfield… can you hear me?"
"H…Hello? W-who's there?" Beast Boy answered to the darkness.
"Shhh, your safe now. Rest… just rest." Cooed the voice.
"Please…w-who are you?"
"Garfield, it's me…now rest. Everything is just fine. I love you."
It sure sounded like something Terra would say, but the voice was muchtoo old for hers. Whoever it was, it was a woman whom sounded very familiar.
Finally it hit him.
"…Mom? Mom, is that you?"
Silence.
"Mom! Where are you? How can I hear you? I thought you were--"
"Calm yourself, Garfield. I must go now… but you're in safe hands. You'll wake up soon, good-bye, Gar. I love you… so much."
"Mom! No! D-don't leave! Please!"
Light began to streamBeast Boy'svision as he slowly opened his eyes. His vision was blurry at first, but it cleared.
Beast Boysat up, rubbing his head, and looked around. The room was empty, but he was hooked up to different kinds of gadgets and gizmos. Some pierced his skin, and two were attached to his temples. He had machines all around him that took his pulse, heart rate, and brainwaves. And to top all this off, he was strapped to the bed.
"What am I, a psychopath?" Beast Boy whispered to himself.
"Well, you sure acted pretty close." Joked a voice.
"Huh?" Beast Boy had been looking down at all the tubes that criss-crossed his body when the voice echoed the room.
Terra stood leaned against the door, she had evidently just come in.
Beast Boywas a little embarrassed for his girlfriend to see him like this, he blushed and smirked at her comment. "Very funny, why am I here? Did I do something wrong?"
Terrawalked towards him and sat on the edge of the bed. "Well… not really. You didn't attack anyone, you just had a mental breakdown, I guess." She smiled and rubbed the back of her head.
"Oh… that. Um, I'm sorry for what happened. I-I guess I was just scared, before I woke up, I remembered something trying to drag me out the window, it was ruthless… it wanted me dead, but every time it had the open chance to kill me, it hesitated. Someone might have told him not to… but itsthat whothat I'm worried about." Beast Boy said.
Terra smiled again and put her hand to his forehead. He followed her hand with his emerald eyes and wondered what she was doing.
After she took her hand from his head, she said "Well, you feel much better. Earlier when I felt your head it was freezing… you were probably just in a cold sweat, nervous is another way of putting it."
"Heh, I would guess so." Beast Boy shifted around as best he could in theinfirmary bed. "Um, do the Titans want me in this thing? 'Cause it's kinda uncomfortable." He admitted.
"Oh! Oops, sorry, I didn't realize you were still in this machine."
Beast Boysmiled, finding it amusing she didn't realize he was in this thing the whole time.
Terra quickly pressed a nearby button, and the straps unbuckled and all the tubes exerted themselves from his body.Beast Boywinced as the needles quickly shot out.
Beast Boygot up and sat on the edge of the bed and stretched. He heaved himself up, but he hadapparently been down for a long time, and his legs wouldn't hold the support.
Beast Boyyelped as he started to fall, but Terra jumped over and caught him.
"Uh... heh, thanks." He said looking up at her.
"No problem." She smiled and put his arm around her shoulder. "Need help?"
Beast Boy nodded, a little embarrassed, and then leaned all his weight on Terra. He felt her tense up as she suddenly carried all the weight, but relaxed soon afterward.
"The Titans probably want to see you, and if you still don't have your land legs… we can take it slow." She smiled in a playful manner.
Beast Boyscoffed. "Me? Plea--" He stopped himself as he took a step forward and stumbled, but again Terra was there to catch him.
Terralooked at him again and arched and eyebrow.
Beast Boyflushed, "Well… um… I guess… we could take it a little slow."
Terra giggled and pulled him closer as they limped out and towards the main room of Titans Tower.

The room was awkwardly quiet. Robin sat on the edge of the sofa, deep in thought. Cyborg re-checked the footprints using the room's monitor; just to be sure they didn't miss anything. Raven sat in a dark corner meditating, but it seemed as if she was uncomfortable and uneasy.And Starfire, once again, paced the perimeter of the large room.
No one stirred as footsteps echoed through the neighboring hall, but everyone did look up when they entered the room. And at the sight of Beast Boy and Terra, everyone stood up and walked over to the twosome.
"Well, lookey here! The little dude's back up. How ya feelin', BB?"
Beast Boy glanced about, uncomfortable to face the team somewhat, and shrugged, "Ok, I guess. Been better, though."
"At least your feeling better than you did, I'm sure." Robin said, almost grimly.
Beast Boy glanced down, and Raven chorused in,"If he wasn't, then he wouldn't be here right now. But what matters is that he is, and now we can get down to business."
Terra let Raven help Beast Boy over to the couch, and upon arrival Raven sat him firmly on the cushion as the rest of the team swarmed around.
"Now," Raven started, puting a hand on Beast Boy's shoulder. "tell me exactly what happened."
