Chapter Seven: Discovery of Pain
Raven walked into the common room after meditating for a little while. She needed to calm down from hearing that voice. She still didn't believe she could love so denile was still very true to her thoughts. Upon entering she noted that all the Titans, minus BB of course, were there. She walked to the front of the room and stood in front of the T.V. waiting for the others to stop what they were doing.
"Hey Raven, what's up?" Robin looked up at Cyborgs voice and waited for an answer as Star came over from the kitchen.
"Well since you asked I found out something about Beast Boy." The others snapped to attention at this news.
"How, I mean we have tried everything to figure this out." Raven smiled ever so slightly, that only Beast Boy would have caught it.
"It was simple I called his Mom." Cyborg's mouth opened in awe at Ravens boldness.
"You called his Mother, wow Raven that was brave of you." Raven smiled but continued on as if Cyborg had not interrupted her.
"Well actually Rita is only Beast Boy's adoptive mom. The Doom Patrol adopted Beast Boy when he was around ten years old. Oh and Robin you may be happy to hear this but I have Beast Boy's real name." At this news Robin sat up even straighter. "His name is Garfield Mark Logan think you can dig something up with that?"
"Actually Raven I think I can dig a whole lot up with that." Robin raced over to the main computer and typed in Beast Boy's name into the search. What they ended up getting was four news articles.
Child Survives Sakutia
Two months ago parents and biologist Mark and Marie Logan discovered their child Garfield Mark Logan on the edges of the jungle fighting off a very large Green Spider Monkey. After being bit several times young Logan was diagnosed with a rare African Disease known as Sakutia. The Logan's, having gone to Africa to study diseases in the jungles never thought one as deadly as this would befall their only child. Garfield Mark Logan was treated with the first ever cure to the disease and it work successfully. However the cure had a slight side effect of turning the child green. However even with the side effect the child will be able to grow and learn like any other child.
"So Green Bean comes from a family of really smart Biologist? Also it seems he has gotten a tropical disease called Sakutia." Cyborg was in awe of this news about his best friend.
The Science Community Loss
Yesterday; the science community loss two very important people in the research of tropical diseases, Mark and Marie Logan were lost in a boating accident. Mark and Marie Logan were going to an uncharted area of the river to study animals with the rare disease. The boat malfunctions and caused it to sink. Garfield Mark Logan was never found and is declared dead.
"Beast Boy's an orphan like me. Why didn't he say anything, we could have bonded more over this. I mean I lost my parents too in an accident." Robin looked at the others and saw Raven trembiling.
"It says that Garfield Mark Logan is dead Robin. They think he's gone too, I mean there is a green boy in this town and no one has put two and two together?" Raven seemed a little upset over this fact, and the fact Beast Boy has let people think he's dead.
"Wait, friend Raven, here they say they found Logan child alive." Starfire spotted the next article.
Logan Child found Alive
Garfield Mark Logan was found alive today in a testing facility. A look of pure determination was found on the boy's face as he and five other children ran from the building. It was discovered that he and the five boys were from the Doga village in Africa. Mr. Logan when asked why he was in there only showed us multiple scares on his arms. It seems that he and the children were kept in small cages and experimented on. When the village leader was asked about Mr. Logan the leader stated a man claiming to be the boy's guardian took him away. It was found later that Mr. Logan and the five other children were sold by Mr. Galtry. The five children were taken back to their homes once treated in a hospital for several days. The whereabouts and situation of Mr. Logan are unknown at this present time.
"So, friend Beast Boy was experimented on? How we share this fate as well. Not only does he share the scientist parents like Friend Cyborg, and death of both parents with Boyfriend Robin, but the form of experimentation torture like myself. Oh Friend how I wish you have spoken to me about such things." They all looked away from the screen, the Titans had all shared their stories when they were ready to with the others. Everyone had been ready sometime in the last four years together except Beast Boy.
"Look the last article is about an adoption." Raven pointed out. "It could be about Mento and Elasti-girl adopting him."
Adoption for Child Sakutia
Garfield Mark Logan was adopted today by two very prominent people in the community. Steve and Rita Dayton adopted the boy after finding out he needed a home. Mrs. Dayton is quoted "I've always wanted a little boy and Steve and I being unable to have a child of our own knew adoption was the best way. The moment we set eyes on the young man we fell in love." The Dayton family hopes to live a long and happy life with their son Garfield.
The Titans read the article over and over. The boy was adopted but never heard from again it said in one of the comment boxes. It seemed Rita and Steve Dayton disappeared too. The Titans all knew that these people were the Doom Patrol but the world only saw it as a second disappearance of the child known as Garfield Mark Logan.
"Guys I don't know about you but I think we learned a lot about BB today." Robin looked around at the others as they nodded. "Also I think I know where we can start our search for BB." The others started to look confused before a smile came upon all their faces. Raven was the first to speak.
"Well then I suggest we all pack and get ready to leave for Doga Village, Africa." With that said she leaves the room to pack and plan on how she would kill Beast Boy for leaving the team. Robin called Kid Flash and Jinx to cover and went to pack himself.
