$$$Hi! Ok so here is the next chapter. BTW! I'm kind of sad cause people quit reviewing my stories. I think I have two reoccurring reviewers. PLEASE REVIEW!$$$
Raven was trying to read in her room but just couldn't get Beastboy's little episode out of her head.
How did he get Kid Flash to do what he wanted with a singly sound? How did he change from comedian to torture expert? Why was he full of anger and sadness when he walked away? She couldn't figure any of it out.
She was also thinking about Beastboy and her. She guessed they were together, but it felt acquired. She now knew he did like her but it just didn't feel like he really said it. Mabey because they didn't actually make it official, or mabey because they acted as normal and nothing changed. Either way it felt weird,
Raven couldn't take it any longer. She would go mad if she didn't do something productive. She put her book down on her bed and slowly found her way to Beastboy's room.
She was about to knock when she heard what sounded like whimpers coming from the room. She slowly opened the door. Beastboy was lying on the bed without his gloves, shoes, or shirt on. He was asleep.
There were things scattered over the bed. She picked up a few things and looked at them. There was a picture of him much younger, wearing shackles and what seemed like a shock collar. In the back ground there were two men. One was holding a pouch that Raven guessed was full of coins, shaking hands with the other man that was holding the end of a chain.
He looked so sad. There were scars all over his small body. All he had to wear was a small pair of shorts that were tied around his waist with a robe.
There was another picture of three boys and a girl all attached to the same chain with digging tools in their hand.
One of the boys was none other than Beastboy. He wasn't smiling like she was use to. Instead he had the same look he had when he first started talking to Kid Flash.
The other kids wouldn't look at the camera as if ashamed. But Beastboy had his head up looking, not at the camera, but at the person holding the camera.
There were small knifes and darts all over the bed. Some were very dirty, others looked like they had dried up blood on them.
She looked over at Beastboy. He had scars all around his wrists and all over his chest and back. He use to be a slave. Raven almost wanted to cry.
There was something in his hand. Raven went to grab for it. She no more than touched the item with her index finger when beastboy grabbed her wrist and did some kind of martial arts move where she ended up face first into his bed with Beastboy holding her in place.
"Beastboy, It's me. Let me up. Raven said in slight anger.
"Oh, I'm sorry Raven I was just…Uh , I was dreaming, and I thought …I'm sorry. Are you alright? He stammered.
Raven was let up and Beastboy began to grab things and put them away.
"Wait, Beastboy. What is all that stuff. What's that in your hand?" Raven asked trying to get him to explain.
Beastboy took a deep breath in. "Raven, you all know that I lived in Africa with my parents until they, died." He said holding back a tear. "What you all do not know is that I lived in a village for some time before it was attacked. Everyone was either killed or taken to be sold as slaves." Beastboy said slowly sitting down.
"I was sold to a man that bought slaves for working in his caves. He had another scientist make a special collar just for me. If I tried to take it off it would electrocute me until I was unconscious. If I did something wrong he would push a button on a remote that make it squeeze my neck." Beastboy grabbed his neck at the thought.
"Unfortunately, He thought I had potential for helping him I guess. He Knew I had good friends in with me, so he told me that if I did not obey him they would be beaten until I did. I agreed to it. He would make me watch him torture my people. But when he told me to help him do it, I couldn't. So he would put me through it." Beastboy closed his eyes tight. It really hurt to think about it.
No matter how much it hurt, I wouldn't do it. So he taught me how to make weapons. I did this for him so he could sell them to make money and buy more slaves. After a while he decided I wasn't doing much so he sent me back into the caves. Everyone that worked for the man was told to strike me every chance they get for wasting the masters time."
"One night I decided it was time to put an end to it all. I talked one of my friends into ripping my collar off so I could transform. It was painful but I somehow stayed conscious. I turned into a gorilla and I broke free from the chains. I started ripping everyone from there sells and chains."
"I got them all out, except for three kids and myself. They killed the others, and they tied me up, put another collar on me kept me only to beat me whenever they were angry."
Raven could hardly believ what she was hearing. She didn't know there were humans out there that would actually do something that would be worthy of trigon. She could see were they cut into him. It was sickening. She looked at his expressions. His eyes were distant and looked horrified. He had no showing of happiness in him. His body shook.
Raven looked at Beastboy's hand. She still didn't know what it was that was in his hand. She stared at it. Beastboy suddenly spoke and it made her jump.
"My best friends were killed that night, we all promised that if any of us survived, the survivor would be sure to get revenge and make sure no one else ever had to step foot in that cave again." Beastboy moved his hand over to raven and dropped the small item.
It was a small cloth wrapped around a small stone that had writing on it. Raven looked at it questionably.
Beastboy's eyes became less distant and looked over at Raven. "Those are my friends names carved into a secret rock. When its wet you can read it perfectly, when it's dry, it looks like another ordinary rock from a distance. We used them to talk to one another. I could See and sometimes hear them perfectly fine when the mouthed words. But they couldn't. They didn't have heightened senses." Beastboy explained.
"That was the last thing they ever wrote down. It says survivor gets revenge. I later escaped and got my revenge. I try to forget it though" Beastboy fell back on his bed. He took another deep breath. "When I interrogated Kid Flash, everything came rushing back again. When I think of it, I get kind of touchy and I don't really act like my normal self. I swear I didn't mean to snap at you. I didn't touch Kid Flash either. It's a form of torcher using sounds. All I did was scare him." Beastboy explained beginning to grab everything and put it back into its "secret" place once more.
Raven stood up. "It's fine Beastboy. I'm sorry. I didn't know how much you've been through." Raven said stepping a little closer to Beastboy.
"You didn't make it happen, don't be sorry." He said turning around.
Raven looked at him for a few moments and quickly grabbed him into a hug. He was shocked at first but then wrapped his arms around her waist.
Raven could feel him loosen up. He was still shaking. Her shoulder was soon wet but all she cared about was how hurt he was. He soon pulled away and looked deep into her eyes.
"Thank you ,Raven." He said showing the first smile in almost three hours.
Raven let a small smile show. Just then both of their communicators went off.
Cyborg was on the other end. "Dinner! Come and get it!" He yelled before hanging up.
They both walked down to the main room together. Beastboy smiling his goofy grin. They ran into Kid Falsh on the way. Kid Flash looked over at Beastboy and showed a scared look.
Raven saw that Beastboy looked kind of ashamed to actualy using a torture against his friend.
"Hey Kid Flash. Sorry about earlier. You do know it's just a sound." Beastboy said smiling.
"Kid Flash looked thoughtful for a moment then smiled. "Ya. Hey after dinner we should see how mad Cyborg would get if we stole his racing game." Kid Flash said going back to his cocky attitude as normal.
Both Beastboy and KF Went a head of Raven.
When they were all at the kitchen table Raven noticed that jinx was smiling mischievously at her and Beastboy. She wondered what she had in mind.
