Hello! (this author's note is dreadfully long, but I recommend you read it anyways because it explains a few things that didn't make sense in the story). I fixed one of the chapters, explaining how Slade can tell who he's making Beast Boy interact with. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to make excuses but to be fair this is my first story, like I warned you, so there probably will be mistakes here and there. Anyways so that you don't have to go back too much and search for the explanation, the chip basically picks up who is near Beast Boy. If you remember in the episode "Go!" Cyborg was able to track Starfire's heartbeat with his arm, so this is probably possible too. At least for this show it is. When the chip picks up who is around him, it will also show things such as the person's heartbeat and brain activity. If you also think of the episodes "Apprentice" (parts one and two) than you will know what it looked like when Slade put those microscopic chips in the Titans' blood streams. So think of one of those, except glued to the surface of the skin. I realize this is terribly unrealistic but I mean come on anything was possible on this show hahaha. You're also probably wondering "hey, why didn't you just make it so Slade can see everything?" That is an excellent question. I realized that first of all, it'd be awkward if Slade had accidentally tuned in while Beast Boy was like in the shower or changing, and also (since this is a Bbrae story) it would be awkward if Bbrae was having a moment and Slade was watching the whole thing. I mean come on, that's beyond awkward. Also, I'm going to borrow something from stories I've read. The things in italics and quotes are the character's thoughts. Thanks so much for your reviews, they really push me to keep writing! Thanks for everything really. Anyways, sorry for this very long author's note, I just wanted to clear a few things up. Here you go!


Chapter 7:

Slade was in his lair, looking at blueprints for some new equipment he had to install. Because his lair still needed to be completed, he had to work most of the day on it. His computer would alarm him if any of Beast Boy's stats drastically changed. Occasionally he would check up on it, listening for a few minutes to see if there was any opportunity for him to strike again. When he wasn't monitoring the computer, he kept the chip volume off.

Suddenly his giant computer screen started blinking red and made a small beeping noise. Heart beat had picked up quite a bit, and brain waves had increased slightly as well. Pixel outlines of Starfire and Raven along with their information appeared on screen next to Beast Boy's charts. The computer also said that Beast Boy was about three feet apart from each of them. He turned the volume up and heard what sounded like Robin's voice, only very muffled and distant. It also sounded very windy and like wind was blowing all around.


Beast Boy flew in between Raven and Starfire, in his hawk form. Raven had her communicator in her hand, listening to Robin's directions. Dr. Light was robbing a bank. The Titans were hoping that it wouldn't take long to take him to the jail. They wanted to get back home to start doing more research on the possible culprits of what was happening to Beast Boy. He argued against coming, afraid that he might lose control again, however Robin believed he would be fine.

They arrived at the bank just in time to catch Dr. Light as he was running outside. They surrounded him so he couldn't escape, all taking a fighting stance. Starfire's hands glowing green, Robin's bow-staff at the ready, Cyborg's arm becoming a sonic cannon, Raven's black magic surrounding nearby trashcans and cars, and Beast Boy, prepared to become any animal necessary to stop the criminal.

"Well, if it isn't the Teen Titans," Dr. Light said, mostly to Robin, who was in front of him.

"Give back the money Dr. Light, or is this going to get ugly?" Robin said. Without a word, Dr. Light attacked. A bright laser-like beam came from his hands, as he targeted Robin. Robin had started doing various flips and maneuvers to escape the rays. Cyborg had aimed his sonic cannon at the villain and hit him with the blue laser. Dr. Light stumbled back, only to recover and begin aiming the laser at Cyborg, until an ox ran into his side, knocking him out of the way and onto the ground. Dr. Light quickly got up and had a small battle with Starfire, who was flying.


Slade heard all that was going on, and on the right side of the screen the information of Cyborg, Raven, Robin, Starfire, and Dr. Light appeared. He turned the volume up, and when he heard the words "Azarath metrion zinthos" he chuckled to himself.


Raven had thrown several cars and empty trash cans at Dr. Light, who had either dodged or destroyed them.

"Azarath metrion zinthos!" Raven yelled as she used her powers to take a bus and fling it at Dr. Light. He used his light laser again to disintegrate the bus. Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg then had their turn, each giving him their own small attack. He fought back too, and from behind him Raven started to chant again. About halfway in, she was knocked over by a giant green tail. She looked up to see Beast Boy, as a T-rex, looking down at her. He turned into a lion and slowly walked to her, then pounced on her. She kicked him off, and with her powers, took a trashcan and put it over his head. When he got out he turned into a wolf and started running to her. She started to run as well, and was stopped when a jaguar ran right in front of her. He pounced again, landing on her and starting to scratch and claw at her, until a blast of starbolts hit him, sending him into a wall.


Slade chuckled at himself again, seeing Raven's brain waves and health meter both slowly drop. He then muted the volume and went back to the blueprints.


Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg had worn down and captured Dr. Light in time to see Beast Boy as a jaguar attacking Raven. Starfire was quick enough and had sent him flying into a wall with one of her starbolts. The police had arrived, and were now taking Dr. Light to jail, leaving the five Titans alone.

Beast Boy had hit the wall hard enough that he lost consciousness, and Raven had hit her head on the pavement, knocking her out as well. Their three friends didn't say a word, and just hurried to get home. Starfire took Raven in her arms, and Robin took Beast Boy in his. They laid them in the back seats of the T-car. Cyborg got in the driver's seat and told the other two to meet him back at the Tower.

"Oh Robin! I fear our friend is in danger!"

"It's okay, Star. Raven will be fine."

"It is not Raven I am worried about. It is Beast Boy. He has been losing his control more often now." Starfire looked at Robin with teary eyes. She was truly terrified for her friend. Beast Boy was like a brother to her, she loved him so much. She didn't like ever seeing him in pain.

Robin took her by the shoulders firmly but gently, "Don't worry Star, we're going to fix this. I'm scared for Beast Boy too, but we are going to figure out why this keeps happening and we are going to put a stop to it." Robin said in his determined and passionate leader voice that he used whenever one of his team members had lost faith. It always gave them courage, and a thought that there was hope. He pulled Starfire closer to him and gave her a comforting hug.

"Thank you Robin. Let us return home so we may see our friends." Starfire said when they finished their hug. Robin was driven in the T-car on the way there, so Starfire had to fly him home. She took him by the hands and flew with ease back to the Tower.


Beast Boy and Raven were both in the infirmary on their own beds, both still unconscious. Robin and Starfire both came into the room, and found Raven floating up and down over her bed, in a lying down position, and Beast Boy lying down on a bed near hers.

Beast Boy's eyes slowly opened. He sat up and found himself in the infirmary, on one of the beds. He looked around and saw Starfire with a small grin on her face, and Robin with a relieved expression on his face. His head started throbbing, and his body ached.

"What happened?" he groaned.

"We'll tell you about it later. Right now it's important that you rest." Cyborg replied. Beast Boy looked at Starfire and Robin, who both nodded.

"Please friend, rest. It is important that you regain your strength." Starfire said as she walked over to Beast Boy and gently helped him lie back down again. He turned his head and saw Raven in another bed, floating up and down in a lying down position. He suddenly remembered everything. Him attacking her. Her having to fight him back to protect herself.

"Is she going to be okay?" he asked in a concerned voice.

"She'll be fine. Healing trance, remember?" Cyborg reassured his friend.

"I'm sorry." Beast Boy said to his friends.

"No apology necessary. I know you're not the one doing this. You would never hurt her like this. You would never hurt anyone like this." Robin told him.

They had dealt with a similar thing in the past, when Beast Boy had gotten covered in a chemical that made him turn into The Beast. They knew this time that it was best not to push him, given that the last time they pushed him too hard they provoked The Beast.

Beast Boy was relieved that his friends weren't mad, and that they knew he wasn't purposely hurting them, but he still felt guilty for causing them so much trouble.


Later that night, when Beast Boy had recovered and was allowed to leave the infirmary, he went to his room, and begun thinking about other villains who could be torturing him.

'Mumbo? No. This isn't really his thing. Overload? No way. Maybe it's Brother Blood! This is definitely up his alley. But he hypnotizes people by looking into their eyes doesn't he? And we haven't seen him in a long time. We caught him. So it can't be him. I still think it could be Red X. Or maybe Slade? No. I don't think he would ever target me. It's normally either Robin or Raven. Raven. I hope she's okay. Maybe I should see if she is out of the infirmary.'

Beast Boy got up from his chair in his room and went to Raven's room, suddenly feeling very nervous, like he had a few days ago when he had to go to her room to return her book. He knocked lightly on the door. It opened slightly, revealing Raven, who looked healed and well.

"Hey Rae. I was just checking to see if you were okay."

"I'm fine." She said plainly.

"Okay great. So uh, what's up?" Beast Boy could feel himself getting more nervous by the second. He felt his palms get sweaty, and he could feel his cheeks turn red.

Raven noticed him getting nervous. 'Maybe he feels bad about attacking me? He doesn't need to, I'm fine. And I know he wasn't purposely hurting me. Now I feel bad for him, he looks terrified. He's so nervous...it's kind of cute. What? Where did that come from?'

"Beast Boy, if you're nervous about what happened earlier, it's fine. Really. Look at me, do I look mad to you?"

"I don't know I can't really tell...your face normally has the same expression..." he replied in a confused voice.

To his surprise, Raven replied with a small smile and a blush. "Good point."

'Did she just blush? Did she just smile?! Did I just make Raven smile AND blush?! Dude! I wonder if she likes me..."

"And I'm sorry for attacking you. I really didn't mean to."

"Beast Boy, it's okay. I get it."

"Okay. Thanks Rae. Well I guess I'll just get some sleep. Robin will probably want us up early so we can keep searching. Night."

"Night." Raven replied, and shut her bedroom door.

'I'm glad she forgives me, I wouldn't be able to cope with that kind of guilt. She's so forgiving. And pretty. And kind. And why am I walking back to her room? Stop it legs! I know this isn't the mind control problem, because I know that I'm doing this on my own. But why? No Beast Boy. Don't do it. Don't do-'

"I thought you were going to sleep?" Raven asked, with her door open again. Beast Boy had been walking to his room, but decided to turn around. When he knocked on her door she answered quickly. Too quickly for him to back out.

Without thinking, and being completely driven by emotion, Beast Boy took a few steps closer to Raven and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Night Rae." He said calmly and again started walking to his room.

Raven stood there in shock. 'I'm going to have to go to Nevermore.'

There you have it! Yes I am going to be using a popular concept among Fanfiction and am having Raven go to Nevermore next chapter. I also took the idea of showing their thoughts in italics and quotes. Sorry that this chapter took some time, I never found enough time to write. Again I apologize for the long author's note at the beginning. Hopefully I can get the next chapter up soon. Thanks for reading! Try and review please? :)
