Chapter 10: When the sun and the moon collide.
Waves crashed against the pier, and in this moment of tranquility Beast Boy took in a deep breath. He felt what he was doing was wrong but he had to do it.
Steady footsteps walked behind him, and a deep voice spoke.
"Ready to go?" Beast Boy turned to see a dark figure in the moonlight. Beast Boy stood up and walked with…Crow.
At the Titan's Tower tears flowed from Starfire's eyes. She lied in Robin's arms.
"Please, please Robin! Find him. I can't loose another friend! Please find him." Robin cradled her in his arms. She cried uncontrollably in Robin's grasp.
Cyborg read the letter over and over…each time he read it…it seemed it wasn't true. "Why- why would he do this? Where would he go?" Cyborg asked out loud.
"I-I don't know." Robin answered.
Cyborg stood up off the sofa and looked around frantically, his emotion that he had bottled up burst.
With a powerful growl he picked up the couch and threw it against the wall; it broke in two. This did not satisfy his anger. He fell to his knees and began to hit the ground with his dominant right hand. His punches got softer and then finally died away. Cyborg sat on the ground and rubbed his forehead.
Starfire had stopped crying for a second and crawled out of Robin's arms, and over to Cyborg. He looked up to her; she stood on her knees and fell into his arms with a comfort embrace. Cyborg held her back, he broke down and cried; he cried like a child who had lost their way. Robin had never seen this side of him it was almost frightening.
Crow and Beast Boy made it half way off the pier. Then Crow stopped.
"Just to be sure." Crow said. Beast Boy was confused by Crow's statement.
With a quick fluid motion Beast Boy was knocked to the ground.
"UH!" Beast Boy rolled to a stop. He turned over on his back to see Crow standing over him.
"Just to make sure your little friends don't follow." Crow Placed his boot on Beast Boy's chest…and with that he blacked out.
Beast Boy woke tied to a chair. He rocked in his chair trying to get out. Slade's voice rang from the opening door in front of him. Beast Boy immediately stopped.
"Welcome Beast Boy, to my little happy family." Slade said. Raven and Crow walked into the dim lit room. In Crow's hands was Dawn. She was tied up and gagged.
All he heard from her was a
"Bmeam Bmy!" Her eyes were filled with tears. Beast Boy noticed bruises and marks all over her.
This made Beast Boy angry. He turned into a large green gorilla and broke out of the ropes. He roared and slammed his fists into his chest.
"That's the fire I want out of you." Slade said. Beast Boy was tired of his shenanigans. He charged to him. Crow dragged away Dawn and Raven moved out of the way. Slade stood still.
Beast Boy notice him pull out something from behind him, it was a collar. Slade flipped out of the way but managed to slip the collar on his neck.
Beast Boy stopped and turned around, ignoring the cold metal on his neck, he was too angry to worry with that.
Slade stood still again and pulled out something else…but it was a button he held it in the air and pressed it. An excruciating pain shot through Beast Boy. He roared in pain and turned back to normal size.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" He fell to the ground. Slade let go of the button.
"Step out of line again…go on I dare you." Slade said with a laugh. Raven stood in the corner and starred at this strange being. She knew she knew him in the past…but where and how? Beast Boy turned over and looked into her eyes.
Then other flashes of moments together came to her mind.
"I thought you didn't like me." said Raven.
"I thought you didn't like me." Said Beast Boy
"Hey I like both of you." Said Cyborg…
She stopped, this time two people came to her mind…it was also that green boy and that man with robot parts.
Who are you? Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel this way…about you? Her mind was crammed with thoughts and memories that she didn't know she had.
She tried to drown the visions out but nothing helped.
"Crow…Raven…you did a good job. Leave them here, come with me." Slade walked to the door and waited for them. Raven rushed over to Slade…she didn't want to look at Beast Boy anymore. While she was walking over to Slade Beast Boy grabbed her black robe and said, "I'll save you." She didn't turn around but deep in her heart she was dying inside. She didn't say anything she just grabbed her robe and walked away.
Crow was cutting Dawn loose. When he got her feet and arms loose she turned around to face him and with glowing red eyes kicked him in the crotch.
"Ah! You little…" He pulled his hand back…about to slap her, but was stopped by an angry and frighten Raven.
"CROW STOP LET'S GO!" with her black cape and hidden face she was nearly invisible in the dark corner.
He looked at Dawn one last time and walked over to Slade and Raven. The door was closed. Dawn pulled out the cloth that was put in her mouth to keep her from screaming.
She got up and quickly crawled to Beast Boy.
"BEAST BOY!" He sat up to her as well and took in her embrace.
"Dawn…are you okay? Did they do anything to you?" he looked down at her marks and bruises.
"Just few cuts and scraps but I'll be fine." She said with a smile. He looked at her beautiful eyes and felt safe again. He took her in his arms again.
Beast Boy and Dawn had lost track of the hours of how long they were in that room. Dawn was just happy to be with Beast Boy again. Beast Boy was happy to be around her as well.
She tugged on the cold collar that was wrapped around his neck. He had just remembered that retched thing.
"What does he want with you?" Dawn asked.
"I don't know…he's kind of been going after all of us, so I have really no clue." He said with a chuckle.
The metal door opened and Crow came in with two suits just like his. He threw the suits at them and said, "Get dressed."
They had no choice. Dawn went to the other side of the room and got undressed to her boy shorts and an undershirt.
Beast Boy got down to his boxers and watched Dawn as she pulled on the suit…he noticed her strong bone structure and petite body from where he was she did look like Raven.
When they were dressed and ready to go…Beast Boy and Dawn walked into the dark hallway with Crow. They had gone down many hallways and made many turns then they came to a blinding white hallway.
"Ah." Dawn shielded her eyes.
"You'll get used to it." Said Crow with a smile…a sweet smile, the one her grandmother would give.
The walked straight for, what seemed to them, hours. Crow opened a door to Slade.
"And here they are." Slade had moved out of the way of a screen. Beast Boy and Dawn looked to see the Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire.
"You guys!" Beast Boy ran to the screen and grabbed it.
"BEAST BOY!" they all said at the same time. Beast Boy knew he had to say everything quickly.
"YOU HAVE TO HELP US! SLADE HAS US! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Streams of blue lights surrounded Beast Boy. He fell from the screen.
Slade held the button in his hand.
Dawn gasped "BEAST BOY!" she tried to run from him, but Raven blocked her with a black force field.
"Good job Raven." Said Slade. "Beast Boy…stand!" he commanded. With painful grunts Beast Boy stood up and tried to resist. But it was no use.
Slade grabbed his cheeks and whispered something in his pointy ear.
Beast Boy's eyes grew wide with fear. Starfire saw a tear make it's way down his cheek.
"Now…Learn your place." He yelled. Beast Boy bit his tongue and looked back to the titans.
"Dawn and I…are…done with you. We…are with Slade now." He turned away from the screen.
"BEAST BOY NO! Please say it is not true." Starfire flew to the screen.
"I'm sorry Star…I have made up my mind." He yelled back. Starfire moved back away from the screen with a hurt heart. She floated back down…she felt no joy so she could fly…she was lonely at this moment.
"So long…" before he turned away from the screen he said "We're ok." Just above a whisper Robin and the others got the message.
"Later." said Beast Boy. Slade came back on the screen.
"You'll meet them again…maybe…when the sun and the moon collide." He said with a smile.
The screen went black.
