Father

As Raven sat in her room alone, an idea came into her head. She floated over to the book that she finished. The Secrets of the Beast book. She flipped through the pages and found a certain part of the book that frightened her.

He was a menace. A tyrant and crazed person bent on his non-accomplishable goal of taking over the city. He threatened lives, endangered people, and even divided friends. He is the reason that my sister, Gia betrayed me. But he was also my father.

I had no knowledge of this until I again found some evidence to test this maniac. Turns out, he is my father. This criminal was the very one who loved and cared for me before he and I were separated. So what happened to cause him to turn into the deceptive, conniving criminal that I was so familiar with now? My teacher, when I later met him again, help me discover that when he separated from me, he suffered a great head injury that changed his mental image. In short, his knock on the head caused him to be a criminal.

Thankfully, my teacher had a solution for this. He created this serum that could correct a person's mental problems. Now the problem was to hunt him down and find him. I wanted my father back.

This scared Raven the most. Since most of this book had been right, she look towards it to figure out what would happen next. She already figure that it was Beastboy who was the narrator in the story. She just couldn't figure who was Beastboy's father and sister. Just then the alarm came on again. Raven rushed to the Common room where Robin was tapping at the computer. "Who is robbing what, now?" Starfire asked as she flew in. Robin pounded the counter with his fist and his face twisted in anger.

"Robin, what's wrong?" asked Beastboy.

"It's Slade," Robin said ominously. The room gasped. Terra clenched her fists.

"Now I can repay him for everything he's done," she said. Beastboy placed a hand on her shoulder.

"We can't let our emotions get in the way. It's possible that Slade's just doing this so that he can test us again," Beastboy explained.

"Whether that be true or not, his reign of terror ends here," Leon said as he came into the room holding a small test tube.

"What is that?" Cyborg asked.

"The end of a tyrant. Come on! We'll take the Black Beauty," Leon replied. They were soon in the vehicle and zoomed off. They landed near Slade's old hiding place. When he got out of the Raven and touched the ground, Leon's eyes glowed. The glow in his eyes soon faded. "He's here. Do you have the thing ready?" Leon asked Beastboy. Beastboy had a bow and arrow strung to his back. He nodded to Leon as the group went in. The sound of gears and knocks filled the air. There was little light, but the team's attention went towards a single light.

"Well, if it isn't my old friends, the Teen Titans," Slade said standing in the spotlight.

"Slade," Robin growled.

"Robin, so good of you to come. I can see you're happy to see me. Along with Terra," Terra tried to lunge forward, but Beastboy and Cyborg held her back. "It is so good to see you all. Unfortunately, this is the last time I'll ever see you again." In front of him was a huge cannon that had been previously covered with darkness. He lifted his hand and pressed the button in his hand. The cannon came to life and fired a destructive beam at the Teen Titans.

When the smoked cleared, Slade looked to see how well his machine worked. But when he saw what he saw, his one visible eye widen in shock. There was Leon in front of the whole group with his arm outstretched.

"What is the meaning of this?" Slade demanded.

"I'm sorry Slade, but this battle is going to go a little bit differently," Leon said. Slade snapped his fingers and several of his robots came out.

"It appears that you are out numbered," Slade replied.

"True, but you are out-matched," Beastboy said as he slowly changed into the Beast. Beast slammed the ground and all the robots were sent flying. Raven, Terra, Cyborg, Leon, and Starfire took care of the robots. Beast and Robin chased after Slade. Slade dodged the slashes that Beast threw at him, but he was getting hit left and right by Robin. Slade threw a flash bomb at them and headed for the door. Beast quickly turned back into Beastboy and got his bow and arrow ready.

"For my family," he whispered as he let the arrow fly. It hit Slade right in the shoulder, penetrating the armor, and going right into his flesh. Slade immediately fell to the ground. Robin and Beastboy picked him up. "We have to get him back to the Tower. Leon needs use of him," Beastboy shouted. Suddenly, the building started to collapse. The team quickly got out of the building and flew back to the Tower. When they got there, Robin and Beastboy carried Slade over to the sick bay.

"And Why on EArth are we caring for him?" Cyborg shouted.

"Because we can't put an innocent man in prison," Leon answered.

"Innocent!? This man used me to betray my friends, terrorized the city, and nearly killed Raven when Trigon came! How is he innocent?!" Terra demanded to know.

"Because he didn't know what he was doing," Leon said. Slowly, Slade came through rubbing his head. Oddly, Beastboy pulled Terra and hid behind Cyborg.

"What happened?" Slade asked. His voice was now different. It wasn't that threatening voice that the whole team was familiar with. It sounded like a calm, gentle, kind voice. Leon cleared his throat.

"I assume that you are alright?" Leon asked.

"I think so. But my head hurts," said the man on the sickbed. "Who are you?"

"I am Leon and you must be…"

"Professor Logan," the man replied. Everyone in the room was shocked.
