"And another animal was found," Clark McCabrie, reporter for channel 6 News said, "This time the poor creature was found on City Hall."

Beast boy eyes were glued his eyes were glazed over, he truly felt like a part of him was ripped from this body. This was the 13 animal found this month, there had been a variety of animal , first it was Kiki the panda, then a white wolf (1) was found ripped apart, then an albatross, golden eagle, a big horned sheep, a black bear, and few other animals were discovered brutally murdered.

"This time it was a Bobcat," the reporter continued on the news, "the body was mangled, but there was something different about this animal, there was a note carved into the body."

The green man stared at the screen.'

"Yes," the reporter stated, "The message read 'I'm waiting', no one knows what that really means but cops are looking into….."

Beast boy heard no more, it was as if the world was put on mute, all he could do was just sit there like a rock not feeling or hearing anything.

At that moment a bubbly orange tinted alien floated into the room, she when over and retrieved a bottle of mustard from the fridge. Starfire saw the changeling out of the corner of her eye; gliding over to him she noticed that he was not moving. "Beast boy," she said cheerfully, "what are you doing all by yourself?" nothing. Tilting her head ever so slightly, she tried again this time tapping his shoulder. "Friend, please do tell me why you are all by your lone some?" Still nothing, she gave him a genital push, and the boy rolled off the couch and was lying face down on the floor, unmoving. Starfire screamed.

Within seconds, Nightwing, Raven, and Cyborg, burst into the common area. "What! What's wrong Star!" Nightwing asked frantic.

The alien's eyes were wide; Raven could feel the waves of fear and worry come from her friend. "Friends I fear our beloved Beast boy is dead!"

"What?" the three shouted at once.

"Yes, I tried to get his attention, and he didn't move, then I gave him a little push and he fell off the couch and has not moved at all! Star said all rather fast.

Cyborg walked over to his longtime friend and rolled him onto his back. The green boy was staring off into the distance, not blinking; not doing anything really. "Hey B, what are you doing man?" There was no response.

Raven was looking down at him now, "He's breathing, so he is still alive."

Star's hands flew to her mouth, "Oh goodness what if he is in a trance like bak when we were fighting Mad Mod!"

"If that is true, I know a way to cure him." Cyborg stuck his metallic index finger in his mouth, and then he pulled it out making a popping sound, and reached for Raven's hood.

"Unless you want to be sent to a dimension where there is no oxygen I suggest you get your nasty finger away from my face." Raven commented.

The half robot pulled his finger away muttering something about a joke.

"I have an idea," the empath said lightly.

"Go for it," Nightwing said.

Getting up she walked over to the sink and got a glass out freezing cold water, moved back over to where Beast boy lay and poured the liquid over his face.

Snapping out of the trance he was in, Beast boy bolted up into a sitting position spluttering water. "Duuuuude, what was that for."

"You spaced out," Cyborg said.

"More that you usually do." Raven added.

"Oh," he said voice faltering.

"Beast boy….are you ok?" Starfire asked obviously concerned.

The boy looked up to his friend and gave her a big toothy smile and said, "Of course Star! It's me Beast boy, I'm always good!"

Their leader scrutinized his teammate not convinced, "Can I have a quick word with you?"

The changeling looked at him confused, but nodded in agreement.

The two left the room, while everyone watched them leave.

Once the two were out in the hall Nightwing turned, "Beast boy I know you lied to Starfire. I want you to tell me what's wrong."

Beast boy looked to the ground then back up to his leader, "It's just….it's just that I hate that someone is killing all these animals. I don't know why anyone would want to do that."

The former boy wonder put a hand on his friends shoulder as a comforting gesture. "That's not all is it?"

Even after living together for a few years it still amazed Beast boy how well Nightwing could pick up on things. Well what would you expect from the former Dark knight Protégé. "Yeah, there is something else."

"What is it?"

"In the newest animal that was killed there was a note carved into its skin," he pause not quite sure on how her should continue, "it said, 'I'm waiting'".

"And you think that might have something to do with you?"

"Um, no it just weirded me out that's all." The green man said smiling. "Okay, well I'm gonna out and hang out with everyone before we go one patrol.

"Okay that's fine, as long as you're alright."

"Dude of course I am." Still smiling that is until he turned away from is leader, and his smile changed into a scared frown.

"Dudes, you will never guess what I saw the other day!" The changeling said.

"What?" Starfire asked excitedly.

"I saw our 'number one nemesis' working, at the hot dog stand at the mall!" he started laughing.

Everyone minus Raven joined in on the laughing.

"Ahh, come on Rae-Rae, you think it's funny just admit it."

"I fail to see any comedy in that, and I told you never call me rae-rae…"

Beast boy rolled his eyes, "hum," then as if a light bulb went off in his head he looked to the dark enchantress, "Okay, I have a new joke for you."

Now it was Raven's turn to roll her eyes.

"Here it is; what do you call a bear with no teeth?"

"What" she asked amused."

"A gummy bear!" he said laughing.

Raven said nothing.

"Hey Rae, what does the color yellow start with?"

"I knew you were bad at spelling but come on Beast boy you know what the color starts with."

"Ouch that hurt, okay, please Rae what does the color yellow start with" he asked giving her his puppy dog face.

"Y."

"Because I wanna know!" he answered laughing again.

"Hilarious."

"Oh you know I'm funny" he leaned in close to her and whispered into her her, "Happy even told me so."

She glared at him remembering when both Beast boy and Cyborg were sucked into her mind, meeting a few of her emotions, she cringed at the thought.

Starfire was asking Cyborg to explain the joke. When a huge feeling of fear hit her like a wave. Looking to where it was coming from, it was from Beast boy. She scooted herself closer to the green lad and asked, "What's wrong?"

"hua" he asked clearly confused.

"What. Is. Wrong." She said again emphasizing every word.

"Oh, nothing, nothing.

"Really because I just felt a wave of fear hit me just no and it was coming from you."

"It nothing you have to worry your pretty little head about that's for sure."

Her eyes narrowed, but then she softened her face, "well if you need and to, I'm here for you."

He gave her a small, sweet smile and said, "Thanks Rae."

"Titans time for patrol. Star with me we have the east, Cyborg the north, Beast boy and Raven you guys have the south part of town. Titans go!" With those famous words the five teens leapt into action.
