Chapter 4,

The H.I.V.E. Five were braking into Jump City Bank. Jinx had already taken out the security camera's with her magic. Gizmo had overridden the security system before they started their heist. Mammoth and the others moved all of the people into the middle of the room so no one could send a secret alarm.

"I think we should do stuff like this more often." Jinx said with a smile as she stuffed money into a duffle bag.

"I know what you mean. But when we have days off, like this, it gives us a little taste of what it feels like to call the shots instead of taking orders." Gizmo said as he helped his teammate collect money.

"Hey, maybe if we keep doing stuff like this on our days off then we would only have to wait a year before braking off and doing our own thing." Jinx said happily.

"Maybe, now shut up and stuff." Gizmo said just wanting her to hurry up.

"Didn't anyone tell you that stealing is wrong?" Robin's voice echoed throughout the bank, making people cheer.

"I'll finish up here, you go take care of the preteens." Gizmo said causing Jinx to run out of the vault. Gizmo really had no right to tell her what to do since she was the leader of the team, but she did love to fight and Gizmo could use his extra arms without hurting her. Jinx rushing into battle as she watched people run away from the destruction and she found herself battling Beast Boy who was occasionally sneezing.

Beast Boy hadn't sneezed since yesterday, but with all the dust acting on his nearly dead cold, he had trouble not sneezing. This was very distracting to Raven who kept looking at him when he sneezed. Granted this simple act was very dangerous while fighting Mammoth and Billy Numerous. But she couldn't restrain herself from checking on the green boy.

The other Titans didn't seem too concerned about Beast Boy or Raven. Cyborg was fighting Gizmo like usual, Robin was fighting Kyd Wykkyd, which meant the Starfire was fighting See-more. Perhaps if they had paid more attention to the other teens then the outcome may have been different.

At the sound of another sneeze from Beast Boy, Raven turned her head for only a second. But while she looked away, Mammoth punched Raven in the stomach, which catapulted her into the wall. Against the wall, radiating with pain, she saw a chuckling Mammoth, three rowdy Billys and the battle between Beast Boy and Jinx.

Beast Boy was in his T-Rex form and charged at Jinx, who did a cartwheel unto his head and down his back. When Jinx landed on the ground she casted bad luck on Beast Boy's tail which instantly got speared with the three flags within the bank. Beast Boy roared and yanked the flags out with his jaw, then he changed into a gorilla and grabbed Jinx's shirt. Jinx cursed a stapler which stood up and started to shoot staples at Beast Boy's hand. Beast Boy released her as he wailed in pain as the staples kept flowing at him. Jinx then rose her hands and casted her magic on the roof above Beast Boy. Raven gasped when she realized what would happen.

Ignoring the four boys who had started to surround her, she jumped up into the air and flew to Beast Boy. She pushed him out of the way just in the nick of time. The green gorilla transformed back into a boy when he hit the ground. For a split second Beast Boy heard the rumble and crash of debris and he thought he was dead. That is until he remembered a flash of purple, which caused him to whip around to see both of Raven's limp hands sticking out of broken pieces of wood and plaster.

"Raven!" He cried out and began to push off the destruction, despite the fact that it made the staples push deeper into his skin and made his wounds worse.

"Ah, what's wrong pretty kitty-" Jinx said in a disgusting tone.

"After all, there is no use crying over spilled milk." She finished. Beast Boy froze at the sound of the voice and immediately his hands began to shake, he was grinding his teeth, and growling quietly.

"Oh, how cute. The little kitty is mad at me because his pathetically useless teammate is dead. How adorable." Jinx said in a baby tone and that was Beast Boy's final straw. His heartbeat quickened, his pupils practically disappeared, his teeth grew and his skin became dark green.

"LOUSY PINK-HAIRED BITCH!" Beast Boy shouted before an angry demonic growl shook the earth.

All the fighting had stopped and everyone stood in fear as Beast Boy transformed into The Beast.

"AH! What is that thing?" See-more shrieked as he struggled in Starfire's grasp.

"Friend Beast Boy, No!" Starfire shouted as she placed the H.I.V.E. member on the ground.

"Don't Kill Jinx!" Robin ordered as Beast Boy lunged at a terrified Jinx. Cyborg forgot about the shrimp-sized villain on his back and he lifted his laser cannon and shot at The Beast. Gizmo didn't expect the recoil and flew off Cyborg's back, before Cyborg ran to join the other Titans. The abandoned H.I.V.E. members stood dumbstruck as they watched the Titans protect Jinx, who at this point was paralyzed in the corner that she was trapped into.

"Is Beast Boy a bad guy now?" Kyd Wykkyd asked.

"Who knows, but our lady is in trouble." One of the Billys said as they ran to help Jinx.

"You're going to help those stinky Titans?" Gizmo shouted at the Billys and See-more slapped Gizmo's head.

"If you care about Jinx at all, then you would protect her at all costs." See-more said as he ran with Kyd Wykkyd. Gizmo stood, hurt that his teammates didn't think that he cared for Jinx. Jinx was the first friend he made back when he started at the H.I.V.E.. She was the one that suggested that he engulf himself with the technology he loved and develop an attitude to gain respect, and it worked. Mammoth placed a hand on Gizmo's shoulder, making the little genius look at him.

"I know you care about Jinx, so snap out of it and swallow your pride before-" A scream interrupted Mammoth. The Beast swung his arm and dug his claws deep into Jinx's arm and shoulder. Mammoth charged at The Beast and the impact caused it to topple over and free Jinx. Gizmo quickly grabbed Jinx before The Beast could see her again.

"Cyborg!" Gizmo screamed to the metal man who turned and ran over.

"I know we are enemies and that we hate each other, but I also know that you're the doctor for the Titans, so please help her." Gizmo pleaded.

"He doesn't need to help me, Gizmo. This is all my fault anyways so it's ok if I die. Raven's dead because of me, Beast Boy is like this because of me, and I am dying because of me, so it's ok." Jinx said quietly.

"What do you mean Raven's dead?" Gizmo asked and Jinx looked over at the two limp arms that were still stuck in the rubble.

"Raven, no." Cyborg whispered, as he blinked back tears.

"Cyborg, please. For old times sake." Gizmo pleaded once more. Cyborg thought about this for a moment. He really shouldn't help Raven's killer, but he and Jinx did have some fun times together. But he also remembered what Jinx looked like when she was alone. She was always sad and deep in thought and now Cyborg had to wonder if Jinx was suicidal. Cyborg knelt down and rolled up her sleeve carefully and he noticed that Gizmo was eyeing him and Jinx looked disappointed.

The Beast was swiping, growling, biting, clawing, jumping, and wailing, but he never tired. The Beast was fueled by the constant anger that came with the loss of his mate and he would rather die then to live without her. The Beast wanted the blood of the pink-haired one but these other maggots stole her away so they all must die.

Robin got thrown against a wall and Starfire rushed over to him.

"Star... Fire... I'm... Fine..." Robin panted weakly.

"Oh, Robin, I wish I knew what made The Beast so angry. He has never fought this hard for this long before." Starfire said to the bruised boy. Robin gently grabbed Starfire's hand and squeezed it.

"He'll get... Tired eventually..." Robin wheezed with a weak smile.

"Oh, if only The Beast were a Beegree. For we would only had to find to correct lullaby to calm an angry Beegree." She said as she stared at the angry monster that was once her friend. Gizmo had overheard this and he marched straight over to the boy wonder and the alien.

"Are you serious you pathetic thing? Using music won't change the fact the Jinx killed Raven!" Gizmo shouted angrily.

"R-Robin...?" Starfire turned to him with fear and worry in her eyes.

"Where is friend Raven?" She asked quietly.

"How do you know that she is dead?" Robin asked and Gizmo ground his teeth.

"Because Jinx said so and if you still don't believe me then just take a look for yourself." Gizmo huffed back. It was then that Robin finally saw Raven and he felt so stupid that he was so busy fighting that he didn't know that Raven was hurt. Seeing the limpness of her arms made Robin want to get up and fight harder. That is until he heard a gasp and Starfire's head came crashing unto his shoulder as heavy tears flowed from her eyes.

"Shh, shh, Star.." Robin said as he held the weeping alien.

"See music can't change facts so there is no reason to point out that silly example." Gizmo said crossing his arms.

"Wait, The Beast is fueled by protective anger... so maybe... we can change that anger into something else. Gizmo do you have a speaker in all of the tech?" Robin asked and Gizmo nodded.

"Cyborg, come here." Robin shouted and Cyborg instantly left Jinx.

"Cyborg you sync up with Gizmo's speaker and go through music that Beast Boy likes. Gizmo you have got to make sure that speaker is loud because we still don't completely understand how The Beast works but we need Beast Boy to hear it. Hopefully we can get the Beast to loose enough control so that Beast Boy can come back." Robin ordered and Cyborg left with Gizmo. Cyborg was looking at Beast Boy's playlist and he was starting to get frustrated.

"Why does BB have so many songs that make people laugh." He complained and Gizmo rolled his eyes.

"It doesn't matter. If it's a song Beast Boy likes then it's worth a try." He said and Cyborg sighed before clicking a random song.

Fast Food,

Greasy,

Taco,

I love,

Nacho bell grande,

Cheesy gordita,

I like your nachos
Like diarrhea,
Man I really like,
Taco bell,
I know I can't,
Watch you make my food,
Drop on the floor,
I think it's rude,
Man I really like,
Taco bell,
Here's to the Mexican,
Who makes me my food (me gusta),
How is that I just ate,
Now I have to poop,

Gizmo stuck out his tongue and covered his ears. Cyborg stared at The Beast who turned towards the sudden noise but quickly ignored it.

"This song isn't working, snot brain. Pick a different one." Gizmo yelled and Cyborg picked another random song.

Didadidadididodo Diiidadidido,
Didadidadidadiludaludadidiludadidadidooo...
Didadidadididodo Diiidadidido,
Didadidadidadiludaludadidiludadidadidooo...
Yeehaw! Here we go.
Didadidadididodo Diiidadidido,
Didadidadidadiludaludadidiludadidadidooo...
Didadidadididodo Diiidadidido,
Didadidadidadiludaludadidiluddidadidooo...
That's it!
Didadidadididodo Diiidadidido,
Didadidadidadiludaludadidiludadidadidooo...
Didadidadididodo Diiidadidido,
Didadidadidadiludaludadidiludadidadidooo...
That's all there is to it!
Alright, everybody! Now here we go,
It's a brand-new version of the do-si-do.
Just stomp your feet and clap your hands,
C'mon, everybody, it's the hampsterdance.

The Beast turned towards them and for a brief second Cyborg saw confusion on it's face. The Beast then growled and howled, for he saw Raven's final resting place again, and begun to fight even harder. Cyborg turned off the song and began to look through different music.

"What are you doing? That thing is even more angry now, then before." Gizmo said in a quick panic.

"I found this CD in the common room a few weeks ago, so I took it back to my room and listened to it. I liked it so I copied the music unto my music database. Good thing I did because it disappeared that night. Anyways I think I have a song that will work... it's called "Lucy" by Skillet." Cyborg said before the slow song started to play.

Hey Lucy, I remember your name,
I left a dozen roses on your grave today,
I'm in the grass on my knees, wipe the leaves away,
I just came to talk for a while,
I got some things I need to say,

Starfire cried harder, Robin's eyes watered, and The Beast looked as if he was shaking.

Now that it's over,
I just wanna hold her,
I'd give up all the world to see,
That little piece of heaven looking back at me,
Now that it's over,
I just wanna hold her,
I've gotta live with the choices I made,
And I can't live with myself today,

The Beast started to pant and his trembling became worse, so Mammoth and half of the Billys pulled out of the fight.

Hey Lucy, I remembered your birthday,
They said it'd bring some closure to say your name,
I know I'd do it all different if I had the chance,
But all I got are these roses to give,
And they can't help me make amends,

The Beast gave a soul wrenching howl and fell to it's knees as the fur on it's face became soaked with tears. And even thought no one was paying attention to her, Jinx was crying heavily as well.

Now that no one was fighting The Beast, it crawled like a wounded animal to the pile of rubble that was once Raven. It laid down and held both of her small hands in his large one's and he started to shrink in size.

Here we are, now you're in my arms,
I never wanted anything so bad,
Here we are, for a brand new start,
Living the life that we could've had,
Me and Lucy walking hand in hand,
Me and Lucy never wanna end,
Just another moment in your eyes,
I'll see you in another life,
In heaven where we never say goodbye,

The Beast's pupils grew and his long fur began to shrink and everyone circled the crying creature as he held his mate's hands.

The Beast shrunk completely, leaving a crying Beast Boy who was so weak that he struggled to stay awake.

Here we are, now you're in my arms,
Here we are for a brand new start,
Got to live with the choices I've made,
And I can't live with myself today,
Me and Lucy walking hand in hand,
Me and Lucy never wanna end,
Got to live with the choices I've made,
And I can't live with myself today,

Hey Lucy, I remember your name.

Beast Boy passed out listening to the last few notes of the song. And for a moment everyone stood still and watched the depressing picture as it burned into their memories. Robin stood up and turned to Starfire.

"Starfire, you carry Beast Boy to the medical bay, I'll look around for citizens that are hiding or injured, Cyborg you take Raven and..." Robin paused with hesitation for he didn't want his voice to brake in front of their enemies.

"Just take Raven, ok." Robin finally ordered. Starfire wailed as she picked up Beast Boy and flew away.

"What about Jinx?" Gizmo asked as his speakers collapsed into his backpack.

"Well, you all go back to the H.I.V.E. and take Jinx to the nurse, or doctor, or whatever it is you have there." Robin said, too upset to really care. Gizmo looked away.

"This was a mission that Jinx planned, not the H.I.V.E." See-more stated and Cyborg groaned.

"So...?" Robin said turning towards Cyborg.

"Well, they do have nurses and doctors, but they are not allowed to go to their hospital if they do an independent mission. Their cuts, bruises and injures are suppose to teach them that a good plan is critical for everything. I got that right, correct?" Cyborg asked and Gizmo rolled his eyes.

"That's what they say, but if you ask me they don't heal people from independent missions so that it teaches them and others to stick with the H.I.V.E." He said annoyed.

"Well, fine. You can take Jinx to the tower to get wrapped up and you all can get bandages or something." Robin said as he stormed off to find civilians. Gizmo carried Jinx, See-more and Kyd Wyrryd limped out and Mammoth pushed several pounds of debris off Raven before eight Billys helped him out of the building. Cyborg was left alone to finish unburying Raven.

Cyborg removed the broken plaster, and gently moved Raven to his arms. Raven had several pieces of debris embedded into her skin and blood stained Cyborg's hands and chest. He let some tears fall as he held her close and that's when Cyborg noticed something strange.
