"We call the Doom Patrol," Robin stated as if it was common sense, because it was. But Raven feared that if they came over Best Boy would run to them and leave the Titans.

"Are you sure that, that is the best thing to do?" she asked coolly. Robin turned around and stared her. He was looking for the real reason behind her question but her face and eyes betrayed nothing but her regular indifference.

"You said that his past might be a big part in this. I believe it might be some suppressed feelings that made him forget us." Robin looked at Raven knowing that she agreed with him. "I've notice how angry you've been around Beast Boy lately and I know it has nothing to do with the regular aspects of your guys' relationship." Raven hid her surprise at Robin's discernment but he still had the same cocky smirk he had when he was right about things.

"You're right. I've confronted him about those feelings but he didn't accept my help," Raven said nonchalantly. In reality she was still mad about that. She knew something bad would happen if he kept bottling his feelings up. Robin looked down the floor and rubbed his chin in a thinking matter.

"I tried too. He seemed like he was afraid of his past. I know it would be a risk to call the Doom Patrol but it seems to me that Beast Boy may not even remember them. If he does, maybe he'll be a little more cooperative with us," Robin lectured on but Raven tuned him out. After being his teammate for about 3 years and searching in his mind Raven knew that Robin tends to babble when he was really nervous. He also gets dead serious when he's worried. The situation with Beast Boy seemed to make him both. "And I'll have to warn-"

"Robin, are you okay?" Raven asked a little irritated.

"I'm fine. Why?" Robin looked a little annoyed that she interrupted him but Raven ignored it.

"This situation seems to make you feel overwhelmed," Raven stated. Robin opened his mouth to protest but Raven glared back at him. Challenging him to say that the empath was wrong about what he was feeling. Their stare down lasted about a minute until Robin sighed in defeat.

"Why wouldn't he tell us about his past? Doesn't he trust us enough to know that we'll accept him no matter what? But this shouldn't have even happened. Why did I let this happen? I'm supposed to be the leader but I let one of my team-no friends, get hurt. Then what can I do about it now? When we were all in there and I was talking to him he looked at me like I was going to hurt him. There wasn't any recognition in his eyes. All I saw was fear and pain. You know I talked to him on the plane from Tokyo. I should've pressed harder. If I did maybe we wouldn't be in this mess." Robin looked sad and worn out by the time he was done talking. He walked to a chair and sat down. Raven stared as he put his head in his hands. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes, enjoying the silence even though it was suffocating.

"All leaders fall. What makes them great is when they get back up," Raven said breaking the silence. Robin looked up at her in surprise. She wasn't one for encouraging but what she was doing right now she didn't see as encouragement- just pure simple facts. "Beast Boy didn't want our help for his own personal reasons. But now he needs us whether he wants it or not. His accident may have caused the memory loss, we don't know. But I know that this team will need a leader to encourage them, not to forget them." Raven observed Robin as she was talking. He seemed surprised at first but by the end of her speech he was eyeing her with respect and understanding.

"Thanks Raven." Robin walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. He smiled at her and she stared back with a ghost of a smile on her face. Then the common doors leading to the med bay opened. Cyborg and Starfire walked in wearing solemn expressions on their faces. Starfire looked like she had bawled her eyes out. "Star, what's wrong?" Robin automatically went into boyfriend mode when he saw Starfire's eyes (which he looked at most of the time). He strode over to her and hugged her. She began to sob in Robin's shoulder.

"What happened?" Raven flew over to Cyborg and observed him as he grabbed a soda from the fridge. He seemed to be weighed down and sadness consumed him. Raven was a little affected by both his and Starfire's emotions of sadness but she could meditate later. Her team needed her now. Cyborg turned around and gazed at her. He looked at Robin and Starfire, who were still holding each other.

"Let's go talk in the garage, miss angel," Cyborg said with a sad smirk. Raven just glared at him showing no change in her emotion (even though she was still blushing at the new nickname that Beast Boy gave her). He shook his head and headed for the garage, Raven followed him.

In the garage was Cyborg's sanctuary. Raven was allowed in it to talk with him or help him with the T-car, his baby. Cyborg cleared two chairs for them to sit in. When Raven was sure that Cyborg sat down and was ready to talk she began questioning him.

"What happened while I was gone and why is Starfire crying?"

"Why do you think Beast Boy called you miss angel Raven?" Cyborg stared at the ground as he asked the question. Which Raven was glad that he did because she stepped back in surprise at the question. She didn't have time to think about that and she really didn't want to. Cyborg looked up at her waiting for an answer.

"It was just coincidence," Raven said, deciding that that was the best answer. Cyborg began to shake his head and gave a small chuckle.

"That is definitely not a coincidence. When I first met him he told me that you were probably the most beautiful girl in the world. I told him he was just a crazy little kid and he responded by saying that he was crazy, about you." Raven gawked at Cyborg in disbelief. She just couldn't hide her astonishment at the statement.

"Wh-what about Terra?" she stuttered.

"He never talked to me about her like that. He did like her but she seemed more like a distraction," Cyborg said. His eyes were focused on the ground.

"What does this have to do with what happened while I was gone and why Starfire is crying?" Raven asked in irritation. She was tired of this subject (but really she was just super uncomfortable with it). Cyborg finally looked up at her but his gaze was clouded with tears.

"When you left he started crying silently and he mumbled something but I didn't catch it. Then I went towards him with bandages to see what he reopened. But as I came close he turned around and stared at me in fear. He started to whimper, so me and Star tried to calm him down but he just continued to whimper. He looked like he was going to hyperventilate so I told him I was your, miss angel's, friend. He seemed to calm down after I said that but he didn't trust me or Star still. As I was checking up on him Star started asking about what he remembered. She started with small things like pranks, jokes, and things like that. Then she went to bigger things like battles, situations… and people. He just kept replying no. Then he interrupted Star and said," Cyborg paused like he couldn't go any further. His human eye shed a tear as he stared at the ground. Raven gazed at him in slight wonder. All the time she knew Cyborg he never cried and barely shed a tear about anything. After a while she opened her mouth to get him talking again but he already started again but he sounded like he was about to break down and cry himself. "He said that it was probably good that he forget such a stupid person and that he (Italics are Beast Boy talking as Garfield because he doesn't remember Beast Boy) could never be BB. He said we should forget BB too because a person like BB is just as useless and pathetic as he is. Star stared at him a bit then yelled at him. Saying that he couldn't talk about himself like that and she could never forget her little brother. Unfortunately BB got scared again and turned to a mouse and ran. We chased him into a corner and Star apologized but he stayed as a mouse in the corner. He just kept looking at Star like he was waiting for her to hit him. Star noticed this and backed away, so I told her to get me some more bandages and get a bed ready for him. She went away with her head down. It was just me and BB then. So I coaxed him out of the corner. It took a while but I got him out but he was still a mouse. I took him to the bed Star got ready but she wasn't in the room. I was still thinking about what he said so I asked him why did he think of himself and BB like that. He told me that a person like BB would be an annoying pain but he was too trusting and stupid to be him. I asked why. He said thathe knew how Independence Day came to be and that he hated comics books because they gave false hope and that he never played a video game before and hasn't seen T.V. either. He said that BB should've known about Terra and that everyone he trusts was gone. Plus the fact that BB can smile everyday was an impossible trait that he could have because he didn't have a family or a home. He told me that BB was lucky to be a freak and have what he never could. I must've looked pretty hurt because when he looked at me he immediately tried to tell me that he did like something about BB. He liked how BB would always try to get the woman he loved to smile. I looked at him in confusion and he said that 'Miss Raven must be this guy's love because he's stupid enough to keep getting her to show emotion or smile.' He told me that he wanted to do that with miss angel and hoped hecould succeed in what BB couldn't so he can have what BB 'will never have and never get,' the love of a beautiful woman. But then he laughed and said that it would take a miracle for anyone, 'especially miss angel' to love either freak, especially him. After a while he fell asleep, but I could tell he was faking it. So I turned around to leave but I saw that Star had the bathroom door open and was in shock at what BB said and let a few more tears fall. She asked me what would make BB think like that but I didn't- don't know. I'm his best friend yet I can't figure out wait makes him think such ridiculously depressing thoughts! What kind of friend am I?" Cyborg was standing up looking defeated. Raven was speechless. She usually knew what to say but there was so many things she could say but none of them seemed right. She just watched as Cyborg drowned in his own self-pity. Then something came to her mind.

"If you're so sorry then why don't you go help him? You would just be a worse friend than you are now if you just drowned in your own self-pity. Beast Boy doesn't need this and you don't either. We weren't there for him before but I'm determined to be there for him now. What about you?" Cyborg gazed at Raven in surprise (that was twice in one day- she really needed to meditate if she was that unusual). Then he smiled at her.

"Thanks Rae. I needed that."

"I know and it's Raven."

"It could be Miss Angel if you liked," Cyborg laughed as Raven developed a little blush on her cheeks at his little tease.

"Call me that ever again and I'll make sure that Bee knows about your little crush on her," Raven smirked as Cyborg threw up his hands in surrender.

"Alright, you win," Cyborg laughed. Raven felt more at ease that his sadness left him. "You should talk to Star though. She really needs it. Robin may be her boyfriend but you're her best friend," Cyborg advised.

"I know I'm own my right now," Raven replied as she flew to Starfire's room preparing for the onslaught of Starfire's emotions.

Starfire was in her room just like Raven predicted. She was sobbing too. Raven knew that Robin tried to help her but sometimes if Starfire was really hurt she went to her room to be left alone and no one could help her except Raven (but it's usually too much emotion for her). She sighed as she knocked on Starfire's door.

"Star, open up, it's me, Raven. Cyborg told me what happened," Raven stated. She heard that Starfire stopped crying and was coming to the door. When Starfire opened the door Raven saw how hard and long she had been crying. Her hair was really frazzled and her eyes were a brown-green all over and with a little red out lining her eyes. Starfire stared at Raven then Starfire engulfed her in a bone-crushing hug and sobbed in Raven's shoulder. Raven was caught by surprise but she reacted quickly by patting Starfire on the back in a comforting way. Starfire loosened her hold on Raven and slumped to the floor. Raven followed in the embrace and continued to pat her back. They were like that for a few minutes until Starfire's sobs calmed down. "Are you okay, Starfire?" Raven asked.

"I just don't understand friend Raven. Why would friend Beast Boy hide all that pain and not tell us? Were we not his family?" Starfire stared at Raven innocently waiting for an answer.

"I don't really know why Beast Boy hid his past from us Starfire," Raven answered that question for what felt like the third time that day. She was really getting tired of saying that she didn't know Beast Boy.

"But how can he think like that and not tell us? How can he look at us with such fear?" Starfire was about to start sobbing again, so Raven answered her with a question of her own.

"Starfire why are crying so much?"

"Well is it not obvious friend Raven, one of our friends has lost their memories of us and now he is doing the talking down of oneself as if he has always done it. And he fears me like I am a monster," Starfire yelled. Raven knew Starfire wasn't angry but frustrated and sad.

"So how do we help him Starfire?' Raven asked in her monotone voice.

"I do not know friend Raven," Starfire said hopelessly.

"So now that you don't know what to do you're just going to cry until he gets better or worse?" Raven scrutinized Starfire making sure that she got the full meaning of her question.

"I-I-I will not cry for friend Beast Boy. I will fight for him!" Starfire looked at Raven with a determined look. Raven nodded glad that Starfire was back.

"I wouldn't expect anything else, Star," Raven said with a ghost of a smile. Starfire wrapped Raven in another bone-crushing hug.

"Oh, thank you friend Raven!" Starfire squealed.

"Star- I- can't- breathe."

"Oh, sorry friend Raven," Starfire apologized and let Raven go. Raven gained her composure and looked at Starfire. She had a confusing look on her face.

"What's wrong Starfire?" Raven asked curiously.

"How do you feel about this situation friend Raven?" Starfire asked innocently. Raven took a step back in surprise. She hadn't really thought about how she felt about Beast Boy's situation. It was a surprise to her but besides that- then it hit her. The hurt and panic she was trying so hard to control came running back at her. The hurt that everyone felt was mostly hers. She looked and saw that Starfire was still waiting for an answer.

"I'm fine Starfire," Raven answered coolly.

"Are you sure friend Raven?" Starfire asked again.

"Yeah," Raven lied. She turned around said goodnight to Starfire and headed to her room. When she got to her room she saw that it was midnight. She had time to meditate before she went to bed but when she started to meditate Starfire's question and her answer swarmed in her head. She knew she lied but she couldn't admit the truth yet. But if you don't admit the truth your heart and mind will be in total chaos, a little voice said in her head. It sounded a lot like Beast Boy. Which irritated her more, but she knew that the voice was right. Then Starfire's question kept replaying in her mind over and over again. She knew it wouldn't stop until she admitted the truth. She looked over to her clock and saw that it was already one o'clock in the morning. She needed sleep. So, finally she appealed to the truth.

"I-I-I'm hurt that he would never tell me something like this when he knew everything about me. But I fear that I might lose him to the past that consumes him now. But I can't show these feelings because they're so strong that they might consume me, so I don't feel them." Raven felt a tear come down her face as she admitted this. But there was no one around to hear, so she cried herself to sleep. As she fell asleep, Raven failed to notice the little green fly on her drawer whose eyes were filled with tears because of the guilt he felt making his angel cry.
