Beast Boy's ABCs by Mika Casey
D is for Darkness
Beast Boy was terrified of the dark.
And when him and Raven split from the group to investigate an abandoned warehouse in the middle of the night, he was trembling as he transformed into a small house cat so he could see into the shadows. His tiny feline body was shaking even more as he leapt into Raven's arms.
Raven realized this, but let him sweat it out. She didn't want to bruise his ego by soothing him.
And when they disrupted a murder of crows that were sleeping in the warehouse, they flew up to the ceiling like shadows in the air. Beast Boy instantly changed back to his human form and grasped Raven's hand tightly.
He told himself he was making her feel less afraid.
