The team couldn't believe he had been missing for just three days. Beastboy was completely changed. They could all see Raven hadn't been exaggerating; they didn't need to be emphatic to feel his pain.
His uniform was all ripped; his skin was all covered with bruises and burns. There was a purple mark around his neck, right above the necklace that was keeping him from running away. The kid seemed to be debating with conscious and unconsciousness. They were more than angry, they were furious.
Starfire suppressed a scream
"Of course we would found you BB, why are you surprised?" Cyborg said, trying to light up his friend, he just smiled.
Robin approached to him. "Who made you this Beasboy?" He asked softly
"Blood" the youngest titan managed to answer. Even talking was hard for him. Cyborg growled.
"We'll make him pay" The masked titan promised
"You all go and get him, I'll heal Beastboy" Raven suggested
They all nodded.
"Robin, he's… controlling innocent people. Be… be careful" The green boy could barely said
"We'll be" He replied. It was hard for Robin to look at his friend in these conditions
They were just leaving the room when Beastboy added "Please, destroy de syringes"
They didn't fully understand this, but promised to do it.
Raven knelt down next to his friend. She stared at him for a moment
"What's the matter? The kid asked
"I… I don't know where to start" she admitted
The kid chucked a little. "I'm pretty messed up, aren't I?"
Raven couldn't understand how he managed to joke in this state.
"I think it's better if I make you sleep" She said, analyzing the situation
"NO!" He answered genuinely scared "I can't handle it… the… the dreams" Beastboy answered ashamed
Raven thought she knew what hate was when Terra attacked her the last time, but it was nothing compared to this.
"Alright, as you wish" She managed to say emotionless
Then she started healing. The wounds in his face were too distracting, so she started there. Beastboy wanted to complain sometimes, but he never did.
"Good to have a doctor in the team" The kid after a while
The pale girl just smiled, she remembered he said something like that when the team was just starting
She continued her work for a while. No one talked, but she could tell the kid was getting a little better.
"Raven, leave me, Go and help the others. I'm so much better now." Beastboy encouraged
"That's not going to happen. I think you need me a little bit more than the others right know" she replied
"Who would tell, you do care about me" The green titan said with a hint of his usual happy voice.
Raven felt a little offended. She may not show her emotions too often, but that didn't mean she didn't care
"Beastboy" she said
"Yes?" the boy replied
"Just shut up so I can heal you faster" The dark titan told him
"As you wish ma'am" The kid said with a smile in his face
She offered him a smile too, and continued her job
…..
"Be careful. We still don't know what we're facing" Robin told the team, or what was left of it
"Robin, how could the Brother of Blood scape? Starfire inquired
"I don't know, but they are always back, aren't they? Their leader answered
"I should have finished him when I had a chance" Cyborg mumbled. He kept thinking all this was somehow, his fault.
"We did what we have to do, and we'll do it again!" the masked boy said, trying to think which the best way to act now was.
"Someone's approaching" Cyborg warned them
"Be prepared" Robin said. There was no need. His teammates were willing to revenge their friend
A group of kids was in front of them. They had no more than ten years old.
"Yo! Blood, come here as a man! This is low, even for you! Cyborg yelled really mad
"Brother Blood was expecting you" The first kid said.
"Unfortunately, he's too busy to receive you personally" A little girl continued
"But do not worry, He can assure you a welcome as you deserve" The youngest boy of the group said
"Robin, what do they mean? The alien titan asked scared
"Nothing good Star, nothing good" He answered as he grabbed her hand
