In the dark, a shadowy figure sat in a high backed chair, intently re-watching the earlier events. There on the wall displayed on the single flickering monitor was the image of the Beast. The face smiled devilishly.

"Oh Gar, how you've grown." It stood, walking to the screen. With each pace towards the light a little more of its features were revealed. "You've become a formidable opponent to be sure, no longer the sniveling youth turning into mayflies and rodents." A click of the remote in its hand and the picture changed into that of the mysterious cloaked girl, her hand and the Beast's nearly touching through the prison's wall. Its head cocked curiously to the side. "And your tastes have certainly... evolved. How intriguing." After the figure took one final step it was fully visible in the glow of the display.

His face was rigid, composed of harsh lines and cold eyes. His hair had the unkempt appearance of someone who was used to slicking it back but ran out of mousse. His suit was in the same sort of state with it's dust and hasty patches. The worst of it was his grin though, no question. Filled with malice, his blocky uneven teeth glinted up at the two teenagers.

"Now what kind of guardian would I be if I didn't meet this girl of yours, Garfield?" Nicolas Galtry asked the silence. Throwing his head back, he laughed, revenge pervading the unmelodious sound.

AN: Ooooh! Does a sequel lurk in my future? Perhaps, if I can think of a good conflict for Raven and Beastboy to set the action against. Who knows? And for all you non DC buffs, I'll give you a hint: that's no OC!

And no, I won't follow all the old details of the comics when it comes to Galtry. I've made him my own. But really, that should only make him scarier :D
