~Previously~

Up to this point; Beast Boy goes out at sunrise on his own without telling the Titans. As the years progressed he's managed to strengthen his powers and camouflage himself. Hours later the other Titans discover he's missing to where Raven can't detect him. Before they go out and search, they hear a distress call from the Doom Patrol.

While they assist their comrades Beast Boy arrives at Terra's memorial and is ambushed. Right when he passes out he develops a mind connection with Raven; who's over 50 miles away. Sensing their friend is in danger, the Titans head on over to the memorial bringing a member from the Doom Patrol while the rest head over to Titan Tower. What happens now? Read on!

~Beast Boy~

It was dark and foggy at first. But slowly, Beast Boy started to see again. His head felt heavy.

"Oh man, ugh, I feel like my head was run over by a bus…"

As he tried to reach for his head he realized he couldn't. He felt his arms raised as the numbness started to wear off. His still blurry vision looked at his arms chained to the corners of a large, metal table; making it seem like an easy escape.

But as he looked further, he saw that the chains were also connected to a machine of some kind. Some boiling chemicals were mixed in. His eyes started to adjust as he continued to get his bearings. A few other items were nearby. The kind that you would see from laboratories in those horror movies with mad scientists.

The room itself was a like a dark lab for a mad scientist. Some brick, but the architecture was too plain to separate from anywhere special. He couldn't even tell if he was in Jump City anymore. He was covered in wires too. A belted strap was tightly secured around his waist. His backpack and his clothes were on the ground, save for his purple shorts.

"This definitely can't be good."

"Oh, you're awake. How fortuitous."

There was that voice again. Beast Boy knew it from somewhere. It was a villain, obviously a psycho. He just needed to get the name hanging from his tongue.

Two bright lights suddenly went off in his face, temporarily blinding him. As he tried to adapt as a shadowy figure approached. But the silhouette was too easy to recognize. It made Beast Boy's hair raise on edge while his blood boiled.

"Slade," the changeling spoke low and venomously.

"Oh, don't be so harsh on me Beast Boy. I mean, we've known each other for years. We got along fine save for a few little incidents." The immortal figure said chuckling.

"You mean when you tricked Robin and Terra into being your apprentices? And forcing Terra to sacrifice herself? Chasing after Raven, and forcing her to bring her father here? And killing all those innocent people? There's no way we got along," spat the green hero. His anger rising. But he knew to keep it in check. He didn't want his inner Beast to come out.

"Oh, come now Garfield. You can't say you still hold a grudge on me." Underneath his mask the demon was smirking. His plan was already in motion.

"I can, and I do. Once I get outta here I'm gonna rip you to shreds." As he transformed into a gorilla to break his chains he roared into Slade's face

Slade, however, was un-phased.

He then pulled a remote from his waist and activated it. The chains suddenly forced an immense electric shock wave at Beast Boy, forcing him to turn back to being a human. Slade chuckled again.

"Save your energy Beast Boy. You'll be needing it later. We have much work to do." As he began to walk away, Beast Boy called out to him, stopping him in his tracks.

"I'll never work for you! There's no way I'm gonna be your apprentice or your guinea pig!"

Beast Boy began to transform again. This time as a bear. Again he tried to break the chains. Slade again activated the shock. But this time Beast Boy resisted.

So he walked over to a cart and picked up a needle. The shock finally started stunning the struggling Beast Boy, giving Slade a window. He injected the pink serum into where he thought to be Beast Boy's neck.

It worked.

Suddenly, sleep took the bear back to its original form. And there was Beast Boy, struggling to stay awake. A few more minutes and he was out. Slade inspected his prize for a moment.

"Hmm…you are rather persistent, aren't you? But I'm sure we can unlock that little temper of yours soon enough." He left smiling.

"All according to plan."


Meanwhile…

The Titans and Rita made it to Terra's site. While they were solemnly quiet, Rita was looking around in confusion.

"What is this place?" She asked after a while. Raven was closest to her, and decided to explain.

"Some years ago, before we met you, we met a girl named Terra that had powers to move earth. She was untrained, and hadn't gotten control yet. She and Beast Boy were very close. After an incident, she left for a while. When she came back she had shown how she managed to control her powers. She then joined us for a while."

Raven remembered how sad Beast Boy was back then. And how wrong it was of Terra to leave the first time. She remembered how hard it was to keep her cool when she came back.

"Then what happened?" Rita inquired.

"A villain named Slade had involved himself with Terra. He made her an apprentice. At first her betrayal was clear. But at the end, she chose good. Only it was too late. This used to be where his base was. But a volcanic eruption was being built up. At the last second, Terra sacrificed herself and disrupted the volcano; making it dormant. She ended up petrified as a result."

"I remember Garfield talking about a young girl he met. But he never told me what happened to her. But by then we had our hands full with the Brotherhood," Rita said with a sigh.

"Well sometime after the Brotherhood was destroyed, Beast Boy found that Terra's statue had disappeared. He also claimed to find a girl much like Terra. But the thing is that girl he found doesn't have any memory or powers."

Raven winced at the thought of Beast Boy being with another girl. She understood his sadness and longing for Terra, but him swooning over another girl that no interest in him just because she looked like Terra wasn't normal.

"She didn't deserve him. She always lied to him. At least we're honest," Brave boasted.

"It's not my call on who he should or should not be with." Raven said to herself. Her emotions were acting up again.

"You're only saying that because you won't admit your feelings," Knowledge spoke indifferently.

"What feelings? I don't feel any feelings over Beast Boy."

"What? Come on, he's funny!" countered Happy. Love followed suite.

"Not to mention how kind, generous, and smart he is. He is also very strong and handsome. And come on, Raven, the fact he can turn into any animal in the world to both protect you from.."

"Stop it."

"What?" Love replied.

"My point is that he is very understanding. And he seems to feel and care a lot about you."

"I order you to stop!" Raven tried her best to keep her emotions out of this. Even if what they said was right or not. The mission was her focus. To find Beast Boy.

As they reached the opening Cyborg's sensors picked up something.

"Hey guys, I'm picking up a few gas readings in here. I'm also tracing some other readings. Raven was right. Beast Boy was here." Scanning the room his light showed something on the base of the statue. Starfire went to take a look.

"Beast Boy brought the flowers of sun." She looked down to find something else.

"What is this?" lifting it up for the other to see. Cyborg scanned it.

"It's a gas can grenade. Nothing too special. Though its contents could argue that."

"Let's take it back to the Tower for analysis. It doesn't look like we'll find anything else here." The team nodded and all headed towards Titans Tower.
