"What do you mean it's killing me?" It could not be true. It just didn't make sense. None at all. It could not be true.
He'd been coughing a lot lately. Loud hacks. He'd grown paler, a little feverish. But it was just a cold. It had to be. He'd been sick before. All that fighting in the rain, anyone would get sick. Cyborg's voice was solemn, and defeated.
"BB, we've done these tests three times. Each time the same results," He didn't look at Beast Boy as he spoke, he instead stared at the computer monitor, which glowed spectrally in front of him. "It's your Sakutia. The disease that made you Beast Boy. It's progressed BB. It's killing you." Of course, Beast Boy would never believe him, not without fighting it first.
"No way, dude. I've had it for years. Years, Cy! It wouldn't just randomly start killing me now."
"Look BB, your DNA changes almost constantly. And now, after years of those changes, your DNA has finally affected the genetic coding of the disease. It's caught up B." Now Beast Boy was starting to let it sink in. But he was Titan, he wouldn't give up hope. He couldn't give up hope, that's not who he was.
"So I'm gonna die?" Cyborg didn't want to say. But Beast Boy wanted him to speak, and the longer he didn't, the angrier Beast Boy got.
"C'mon Cy, tell me! Tell me I'm gonna die!"
Still Cyborg did nothing but stare into the blue of the monitor. Beast Boy grabbed Cyborg by the shoulders, and tried to turn him around.
"Tell me Cyborg! That's what it is! Tell me!" Beast Boy was screaming at him now, but still Cyborg did not move, and did not speak. So Beast Boy let his hands drop back to his sides. The silence was heavy, and Cyborg could feel Beast Boy's eyes burning a hole in the back of his skull. Then he heard him leave, running.
One of the strangest things about the disease Sakutia was that it's molecules, when grouped together, always appeared green. The same green as Beast Boy. And as Cyborg turned off the monitor, and left the room, he wondered if the grass, when it finally grew on the upturned soil, would look greener.
And it did.
A/N: Yeah, I'm back. Sorta.
