Chapter 4: Questions

The next day Beast Boy woke up and walked out to the living room where he saw Cyborg, playing a game on his own, next to him was Marie. He sat down next to her. He was hungry but the Titans had none of his food here anymore. He'd have to go get more soon.

"Good Morning," She said cheerfully.

"Says who?" Beast Boy asked.

"I do," Marie said, "Beast Boy how come I'm just meeting you?" she asked.

"Because I was away," Beast Boy said.

"Where were you?" Marie asked.

"With the Doom Patrol,"

"Why were you with them?"

"Because they need my help,"

"Why do you have fangs?"

"Because I do,"

"Why are you ears pointed?"

"They just are,"

"Why is your skin green?"

"Because it is,"

"Uh Marie why don't you leave BB be," Cyborg said.

"I'm just asking Questions," Marie said.

"Yeah...Well I have somewhere to be," Beast Boy said, as he got up to leave.

"Where you going BB?" Cyborg asked.

"I'll be back later," Was all Beast Boy said.

"OK," Cyborg said.

Beast Boy left the tower. He transformed into a bird and flew up to the tallest tower in the City. He went there when he needed to think. This place was his place. No one knew about except him. The view of the city was amazing from up here.

'7 years away and she's already engaged,' he thought. His thoughts turned to the day they met.

Memory-

"I'm Robin." Robin said holding his hand out to shake "We're the-" Terra tapped her fist against his.

"Teen Titans! Rock on! It's cool to meet you guys. I'm Terra," she said, "and you're, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire…" she pointed to each as she said their names "...and…" she turned to Beast Boy.

"Boy Beast...uh, I mean, Bass Boot...No!" Beast Boy said freaking out.

"Beast Boy?" Terra said for him. Beast Boy screamed and turned into a turtle, he tucked his head and legs into his shell, while spinning in midair.

"Dude! He's hilarious!" Terra said laughing. Beast Boy stopped spinning.

"Hilarious?" he questioned poking his head out of the shell. "Me? Really?" Terra winked at him. Starfire few over to her as Beast Boy looked at her.

"Curiosity abounds. Please." Starfire said, "Where do you come from; how did you get here; what is your favorite color; do you wish to be my friend?" she said most of this in one breath and as she said it she got closer to Terra.

"Um...Earth, walked, red, and...Sure." Terra said.

"Hello, new friend!" Starfire gave Terra her famous bone-crushing hug.

"How's it going?" Terra asked in a strangled way.

End Memory-

He smiled. That day changed his life. He would never forget that day for as long as he lived.


Starfire entered the living room and saw Marie sitting on the couch playing a game with Cyborg.

"Marie," Starfire said, "Heather brought some homework for you,"

"Do I have to do it?" Marie asked.

"Yes," Starfire said her hands on her hips. Marie got up and grabbed the paper Starfire had in her hands, and went to her room to work on it, grumbling the whole way.

"Friend Cyborg where is Beast Boy?" Starfire asked curiously.

"He left said he'd be back later," Cyborg said.

"Did he say where he was going?" she asked.

"No," Cyborg said as he turned the game station off. He turned around to look at Starfire. She looked worried. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"I am worried about him," she said. "He has not been himself lately." She said.

"Star think about it," Cyborg said. "He's been gone for seven years. Things have changed and he wants nothing more than for them to be just like when he left," he said.

"What do you mean?" Starfire asked confused.

"He knew Terra would have moved on but he still loves her," Cyborg said. "Now he only wants what is best for her." He said.


Beast Boy didn't know how long he had been sitting there but, he decided to go back to the tower. As he started to move he heard someone coming up. He looked over the edge and saw Raven.

"How did you find me?" he asked.

"I can sense things remember," She said.

"So what are you doing here?"

"The others are worried about you. You've been acting weird lately"

"Oh really?"

"So what are you doing up here?" She asked.

"Oh just thinking," he said casually.

"You can see the whole city from here can't you," she looked out at the city. The view was amazing. You could almost see the whole city. Even the tower.

"Yeah, that's why I like it up here. It's always so peaceful,"

"So you sure you're ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine,"

"I have empathy," Raven said her hands on her hips. "And I can tell you're lying"

"Ok, it just I was thinking about Terra."

"You know she's with Malcolm," Raven began.

"Yeah I know she's moved on but I haven't." Beast Boy said. "She's the only Girl I ever really loved."

"Well he's a lot like you I think she was trying to replace you,"

"What? Why?"

"Well after you didn't come back she was heart broken," Raven said. "She left us about four months after you left saying she needed time to be alone. she checked in ever few months."

"Oh," Beast Boy said at the obvious answer. "So how old is Jessminda?" he asked curiously.

"Seven" Raven said.

"Seven?" he asked.

"Yes," she said. "Well almost she had Jess about a year after you left," she said. "Come on let's go back to the tower," she added.

"Ok," Beast Boy said. They flew back to the tower. They entered the living room and saw someone waiting for them.
