The morning brought dread to the young, green changeling as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. Dried tears lied on his face, and he wiped them away. He took a breath in and then out. 'I—I don't know if I can keep up this façade today with the way I'm feeling,' he thought as he gripped the sink, 'that jerk didn't know what he was talking about! He doesn't know anything about me, and it has to stay that way.'

Walking out of his bathroom dressed and fresh faced, he walked out his door and into the hallway. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw Cyborg making waffles, eggs, and bacon while Robin and Starfire eagerly awaited the food, holding hands. He smiled.

"Hey Beast boy," said Robin.

"Oh, good morning friend Beast boy," said Starfire.

"Hey there green bean," Cyborg smirked, "want some real bacon?"

"Dude, seriously I don't know how many more times we can have this conversation so I'm just going to go with no," he said as he got his tofu out of the fridge along with some orange juice and sat down to eat.

"Wow, no pointless argument in the morning, it must be the end of the world," said Raven as she sat at the table next to Beast boy.

"Yeah BB, I was really looking forward to it," he said as he dished out the bacon, eggs, and waffles on Robin, Starfire, Raven, and his own plate.

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint Cy, maybe another time," he said as he took his finished dishes to the sink, washed them, and left the kitchen.

Craven, Azar, Metrion, and Zinthos came into the room, and Cyborg smiled. "Well all right Raven's family, I made breakfast so dig in."

"Thank you Cyborg, that was very nice of you," said Metrion as they all sat down to eat.

"Where's Beast boy?" asked Zinthos.

"He's all done with his vegan breakfast, so he's probably playing video games on the couch," said Cyborg.

"No, he's on the roof," said Raven.

"Ok, now I'm starting to think something's wrong with BB. He's starting to act like—

"Are you sure want to finish the sentence Cyborg?" asked Raven.

"N—no I'm good," said Cyborg.

"But you are right, there is definitely something up with Beast boy," said Raven.

"Did something happen last night Raven?" asked Robin.

"No," said Raven.

"Maybe we should to the keeping a closer eye on him," said Starfire.

"It's a good idea Star," said Robin, "but we don't want to be obvious."

"You know it's admirable how much you all care about each other," said Zinthos.

"Well, we're family," said Raven.

"Yeah, we don't want anyone to be hurt," said Robin.

"He won't tell you anything," said Craven. "You're wasting your time on him. There are just some secrets that should be taken to the grave, right Raven?"

Raven's eyes started to glow white, and her fists created power. "I'm the last person you want to mess with grandfather so leave Beast boy alone or else…"

Beast boy was content on the roof as he stared at the beautiful view of the sun and nothing but the blue sky. He sighed. He could see why Raven liked coming up here to mediate. "Raven." Somehow it always came back to the empathy. "What's going on with her and why do I want to know so badly? Duh! I all ready know the answer to that but could she really?" he shook his head, "no Craven was just messing with me but why would he do that I mean the guy is always so serious."

Beast boy sighed in frustration as he walked around the roof and then stopped in place. "I mean she has the penny around her neck, and—he blushed just thinking about Raven in nothing but a towel. "Whoa, calm down Beast boy, everything's ok I mean maybe she loves me," he said as he started to hyperventilate from what he realized. It was an exciting thought to Beast boy. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" he exclaimed as he jumped off the roof and transformed into a Raven as he flew around the tower.

After he exhausted himself, he lied down on the roof, staring up at the sky and smiled. Warmth filled his body just thinking about being with Raven not as a friend but something so much more. "Who knew she made me feel this way for so long? I mean I've been scared to tell her but maybe she likes me is a big risk. It's not like I want to ruin our friendship I mean we're at a point now where she can put up with me. UH! This is too complicated to think about right now. I mean there has to be a way I know for sure how she feels about me."

"Raven, STOP!" yelled Robin.

This got Beast boy's attention as he left the roof and came down to the living room to see Craven pinned to the wall by Raven's powers and the look of his friend's concerned faces as well as Azar, Metrion, and Zinthos.

"I told him to stop Robin, to stop hurting my friends!" she said, looking at her leader with the white on her eyes. "He won't get away with this."

"Raven," said Beast boy in a soft tone, "let him go."

This surprised Craven, and he would have thought he wanted him dead for speaking his opinions, bluntly.

"What?" she said as he grip on her grandfather released just a little bit.

"He's a jerk plain and simple. He's probably had some pain in his life, and that's why he's decided to hurt you and to try and hurt me, but there his problems, not ours. So let him go."

"How dare you presume to know my life changeling? You know nothing of my pain," said Craven.

"I know you lost a child, and you blame yourself for her death. You gear your anger towards Raven because she reminds of your daughter. You're putting your granddaughter at arms length because you're scared that if you get close, she will die so you hurt her before she can hurt you. Does that about wrap up you arrogant jerk?" said Beast boy.

Silence filled the room accept for the sound of Craven dropping to the ground. Azar helped him up as he stared at the changeling. "You are indeed a mysterious one changeling, and you are right. I'm sorry for inserting myself where I don't belong." He looked to his granddaughter. "Raven, I'm so sorry. You have no idea how much I miss your mother, and I see so much of her in you but I see someone else completely that I like to get to know better. Will you give me that chance?"

Raven looked to Beast boy who smiled as he nodded. "I will," she smiled.

"That was a nice thing you did Beast boy," said Robin.

"Yeah B, I'm surprised," said Cyborg.

"But it is most sweet of you Beast boy," said Starfire.

"I guess we do have a lot to learn about who you really are," said Raven.

"I don't know what you're talking about dudes because there is nothing to know. I'm just Beast boy."

"No, you're not just Beast boy," said Raven, "you're Garfield Mark Logan, son of Marie and Mark Logan."

"How did you know that Raven? What did you do?" he yelled.

"I went into your room," said Raven. "I feel I had every right considering how much you invade my personal space on a daily basis."

"I do that out if the kindness of my heart, so I can get you to open up. You went into my room to satisfy your own curious need."

"You know everything there is to know about me, Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg, but we know very little about you."

"You only know the important things in my life. That's all that should matter Raven so if you know what's good for you, you will drop and leave me alone!" He said as he walked out the sliding door and into the hall.

"Raven," said Robin, "what you did was inappropriate."

"What?" she said with anger in her tone. "You've got to be kidding me. He—

"We know Raven," said Cyborg, "but we thought you would have asked him about his past instead of snooping threw his room. You know better than that."

"I did ask him, but he—

"If he wishes to keep some things to himself, then we must not push him Raven," said Starfire. "I don't wish to lose any of my friends."

"It's never effected his performance as a member of this team Raven, so you need to let this go. If he ever wants to talk us about his past, then it's better if he comes to us," said Robin. "The last thing we want to do is pressure him."

"Fine," Raven said, "I'm going to mediate. It's been a long day." She walked out of the room and went to the roof.

Cyborg was preparing lunch as Metrion decided to help him out, which he greatly appreciated while Zinthos watched in fascination. Robin, Starfire, Craven, and Azar sat in the living room in silence.

"I'm sorry for creating chaos amongst your group Robin. I'm just always curious about those who hide who they truly are," said Craven.

"It's just so strange how you could sense it when he's been with the Titans for years now," said Robin.

"Perhaps he's a great actor and his comedic role was so well played that you didn't even stop to consider there was so much more to the changeling," said Azar.

"We want to know more about him," Robin said as his girlfriend Starfire nodded in agreement, "but I'm afraid we'll push him so far that he'll want to leave the Titans."

"Maybe Raven can help him," said Zinthos as he walked into the living room, "besides he owes her his life. He wouldn't have even gotten to you or your friends or become a Teen Titan without her."

"Explain," said Robin.

And so Zinthos did.
