Chapter 4: Enemy?

AN: Well, like I said, a bit of a longer chapter this time. I think? Anyways, hope you all enjoy it! Had fun working on this chapter, haha. Maybe leave a review if you like it? :)

It had been two weeks since Beast Boy went missing. Either he was captured, hiding, or...well, something else that none the others would allow themselves to believe yet. Either way, they would find him, no matter how long it would take. They had to fix this mess, after all.

Every passing day though, Robin just felt worse and worse. He could tell the others did too. He was sure even Star was beating herself up about this. And he couldn't even think of anything helpful to say.

But today was different.

They were about to repeat their routine of looking for Beast Boy, before red lights started flashing.

"Trouble! Someone broke in, stay on guard!" Robin yelled to his teammates.

But suddenly, there was a loud crashing sound, shards flying everywhere. Robin quickly spun around, only to see Beast Boy crouching on the floor, a broken window behind him.

"Friend Beast Boy, you have returned!" Starfire squealed, floating off the ground a little from how happy she was.

"Good to have ya back Grass Stain, but did you have to set the alarm off and break a window?" Cyborg asked, seeming to go for a joking approach.

"Beast Boy, I wanted to apologize." Raven said, stepping forward.

"Its too late for apologies." Beast Boy told her coldly.

"Beast Boy, please, just come back. We were worried." Robin began, but froze when he saw someone else climb through the broken window behind Beast Boy.

"Slade?" Robin asked in shock, worried that his friend turned to Slade. No, he couldn't have though! Not after everything Slade did to them! It was impossible...

Beast Boy got to his feet then, glaring at his old teammates. Robin couldn't believe it...had he messed up that badly? No, they could still turn him back...!

"Friend Beast Boy, what is going on here!?" Starfire questioned, a terrified look on her face.

"What do you think?" Beast Boy snapped, looking down, his usual spiky green hair falling into his face. "I'm tired of being pushed around! I'm tired of being used!"

"What do you mean 'used'?" Cyborg asked in shock.

"Don't you act innocent! You never thought of me as a friend! You all hate me and put up with me so you could use me to help yourselves!" Beast Boy screamed at them.

Robin gasped, shocked by the accusation. Did it really...seem like that? Was he that bad of a friend? Were they all that bad of a friend? "Beast Boy, that isn't true!" He quickly said.

"You just say that so I'll help you again." Beast Boy snapped.

"Alright, enough talk. Show me what you can do to them, Garfield." Slade spoke up then, and all the Titans gasped.

Then Beast Boy turned into a tiger, pouncing at Robin, who was just barely able to doge. The other members were busy with thousands of Slade's attacking them.

"We're not using you! Slade is!" Robin told him as Beast Boy turned back into his human form, still crouched on the ground.

"I know Slade is using me! But you know what? I'm kinda using him too! We both want one thing! Which is, if you haven't realized yet, to take you guys down!" Beast Boy yelled at Robin. This couldn't be Beast Boy...no, he was acting so...vicious. What happened to the jokester of the team he once knew?

"Beast Boy, please don't do this! After...after what Slade did to all of us...to Terra, you can't be serious!" Robin desperately tried.

Beast Boy stood back up then. "Terra was stupid!" He yelled, jumping at Robin again. Robin was too shocked at those words to even react, and took a punch to the face. But after that, he was able to regain his composure, spinning his legs around and knocking Beast Boy to the floor.

"Don't be ridiculous, you don't mean that!" Robin yelled at him.

"I do...she...she was weak. She was sensitive, yet she broke my heart and betrayed us all! How do you love someone like that?" Beast Boy asked angrily, glaring down at the floor.

"She was confused! You don't hate her, you loved her! You still love her! So why are you saying all these things you don't mean?" Robin asked him.

"Maybe you just don't know me like you thought you did! Maybe, your in denial!" Beast Boy was about to jump at him again, but Starfire pushed him to the ground just in time.

"Please, friend Beast Boy, do not hurt us! We just want to talk and try to understand what is wrong with you!" Star pleaded.

"Gosh Star, you make it sound like I'm sick!" Beast Boy snapped, before jumping at her, knocking her to the ground and punching her in the face.

Suddenly, Robin felt a flare of anger rise up in him. He grabbed Beast Boy by the neck, shoving him into the wall and punching Beast Boy over and over in the face.

"Robin, stop!" Raven quickly yelled at him as she threw a bunch of robot Slade's out the window with her magic.

Robin dropped his arm then, staring in shock at Beast Boy, who was glaring at the ground, his jaw bleeding. Robin didn't really realize it, but he must've been hurting him in other places too, because he was gripping at his side as if it was in pain.

"I'm...I'm sorry." Robin quickly said, backing up from Beast Boy. He didn't mean to hurt him.

"No...your not." Beast Boy muttered weakly.

Suddenly, Slade ran over, grabbing Beast Boy.

"Stop!" Cyborg yelled, pointing his arm, which had a cannon attached to it, at Slade.

"I don't think you want to do that." Slade said, holding a knife to Beast Boy's neck.

The Titans watched, not daring to move, as Slade through a smoke bomb down, walking into the smoke with Beast Boy.

Robin couldn't believe it. Any of it. Beast Boy wasn't like this...he wouldn't do this. He couldn't. He was their friend...right?
