Project Super Beast

Chapter 14: Mistakes From The Past

(Desert Area)

When the Titan arrive in the desert they saw a girl trapped in a corner by a giant scorpion. As the scorpion ready to attack, it turned his attention to the them as they prepared to attack. "Titans Go!" Robin shouted.

When the ground started to shake the Titans looked to the girl whose eyes where glowing yellow. They watched as a large piece of the ground was lifted in the air and dropped on the scorpion killing it. Raven looked over to Beast Boy who seem to be backing up slowly, she felt fear coming from Beast Boy. She then remembered that he said he ran into a girl who could move earth.

"She was not in trouble." Starfire said as she looked at the blond girl.

"She was leading it into a trap." Cyborg said.

"Who is she?" Robin said as the girl used her powers to erect a pillar made of earth. Beast Boy had hid himself behind Cyborg to keep out of sight. Raven kept her eyes on Beast Boy he really didn't want this girl to see him, and she wanted to know why.

When the girl landed they saw she was blond and had blue eyes. "What? Haven't you guys every seen a superhero before?"

Robin stepped forward "I'm Robin and were-"

Robin was cut off "The Teen Titans, rock on it's cool to meet you guys. I'm Terra." She point at Cyborg "That's Cyborg." Next to him was Raven. "Raven" And Starfire who was floating in the air. "And Starfire. It's really good to meet you guys."

Starfire looked around. "Where is friend Beast Boy?"

"Who?" Terra said with a confused look on her face. "I thought there was only four of you guys."

"Beast Boy was just added to are team, he would never just leave like this." Robin said with a little anger in his voice.

Starfire spotted a green mouse hiding under a rock next to Cyborg. "Beast Boy what are you doing?" Starfire grabbed Beast Boy and pulled him out from the hole.

"Maybe he just a shy."Cyborg said with a grin.

"Your new member is a mouse?" Terra said eying the green mouse, something about it was familiar like she seen it before.

"Beast Boy stop playing around and change back." Robin said as Starfire put him down on the ground.

Raven watched as Beast Boy changed back into his human form, she then felt a murderous rage come for Terra. "You!" Terra shouted as she used her powers to throw a rock at him, which he dodged.

"What are you doing?" Robin said as he and Cyborg ran and grabbed Terra arms.

"Let me go!" Terra screamed in rage. "Why are you protecting that murderer!" Terra shouted as all the Titans turned to Beast Boy who was looking down.

"I didn't kill him." Beast Boy said as Terra eyes started to glow yellow.

"Liar!" Terra shouted. "You killed my brother!" The ground started to shake under her power.

"Your the same as Brion, you both have a short temper." Beast Boy said as he shook his head.

"Don't you every say his name! Don't you even think his name!" Terra shouted as the earthquake got worse. "I didn't know the Titans protected criminals." She said as she glared at Robin.

This was not what Raven was expecting, Beast Boy a murder. But she then remembered the Soto incident."You should thank Robin for saving your patience life, if this was three years ago you'd be dead." Beast Boy words ran over and over in her mind.

"Please Terra, friend Beast Boy would not kill anyone. This has to be a mistake." Starfire said as she floated in front of Terra.

"How about you came back to the Tower with us and tell us what happen."Robin as the earthquakes stopped.

"I'm not going anywhere with you as long as he's with you,but I will tell you what that animal did!" Terra shouted the last part.

The Titans listen to Terra story, about her brother Geo-force and how he was given superpowers by a doctor to stop an insurrection mounted by a ruthless tactician know as Baron Bedlam. Terra told them that her brother refused to let her fight because she was to young, but her brother did have help to stop Baron Bedlam. A few superheros had made there way to Markovia when the insurrection had happen Metamorpho, Black Lightning, Katana, and Halo.

"Then everything when wrong, Baron hired a monster to fight my brother and his team." Terra glared at Beast Boy. "The rumor was that, it was an escape super solider. I saw what you did! Everyone saw, you turn one thousand of Markovia soldiers to ash." When Terra said this Robin and Cyborg both let go of her and stared at Beast Boy with wide eyes. "They saw that nightmare of Phoenix and the fire it rained down on there heads as it scorch are land." Terra walked up to Beast Boy and poked him in the chest. "And I saw you fight my brother, you taunted him, told him you where going to burn are home to the ground. You then changed into a that Phoenix. Are forces and Baron forces suffered heavy loses because of that fight. I saw you standing over my brother's body. I saw how you were smiling even as I cried for him in front of you." Terra said as she glared at Beast Boy.

"Yes I was on Baron side. Yes I did kill the Markovia soldiers like you said. And you can't really blame me it was a war, governments hire mercenaries all the time. Your brother and his team had powers, Baron had me, I just doing my job. I admit to killing the soldiers, but your brother is a different story, I didn't kill him. True I did fight him, but I did not kill him." Beast Boy said as Terra eyes started to glow.

"Then why is he dead!" Terra launched a rock that hit Beast Boy in the stomach forcing him back. She heard the Titans rush at her, she then used a her powers to fly in the air as she stood on a rock. "I will find a way to make you pay for what you've done. I swear on my brothers life!" The Titans watched as she flew off.

"Beast Boy." Robin said as Beast Boy turned his back to them.

"I have guess I have a lot to tell you. Can we do this at the Tower?" Beast Boy said as Robin nodded.

(Titans Tower)

The Titans made there way to the common room, Beast Boy was standing up as the rest of the Titans watched him.

"So what do you want to know?" Beast Boy asked the Titans as they looked at each other.

Robin was the first to speak. "Who was that girl?"

"Her name is Tara Markov." Beast Boy answered.

Cyborg was next. "Why does she think you killed her brother?" At this Beast Boy sighed.

"Her brother Geo-Force or Brion Markov is the Prince of Markovia. It's true we where enemies and it is true that I killed the Markovian forces, but I only did that because it was what I was paid to do. But about her brother, I did not kill him." Beast Boy said as he shook his head.

"Why does she think you killed him?"Cyborg asked.

"I don't know. I fought him in my Phoenix form I beat him, but I couldn't bring myself to kill him. He was strong and I respected that, he was a worthy opponent. He is the reason I quit." Beast Boy said.

"I do not understand, you quit?" Starfire said as Beast Boy continued.

"I quit Baron group, Brion put his life on the line to defeat me. Anyone who is willing to risk his or her life to protect there family and friends is okay in my book. So I betrayed Baron and sent the Markov forces a map of Baron headquarters, I left before they stormed his fortress." Beast Boy said as the Titans looked at him.

"But you did kill someone?"Raven asked still not believing it.

"Yeah. I mean it was a war I did what I was paid to." Beast Boy said as he scratched the back of his head.

"Paid to do! You killed those people for money!?" Robin said as he got to his feet.

"I was a Mercenary, that was my job. But I'm not that way anymore, I give that life up." Beast Boy said as he dropped his head.

"How can you get into that kind of work?" Cyborg asked.

"After I was kick out of the Doom Patrol I wondered around the world. That was the first time I was ever alone. I just fell into it, I need money and they need soldiers. Fighting is the only thing I know how do it's the only thing I'm good at." Beast Boy said as he looked at Robin who looked like he was about to hit him.

"Friend, Beast Boy?" Starfire said as Beast Boy turned to her. "What is this soldier of super, Terra mention." Starfire said as Beast Boy scratched the back of his neck.

Beast Boy closed his eyes, he really hope no one had remembered that. "She was talking about me, I was not born like the rest of you." Beast Boy said as the Titans looked at him confused. "I was created in a lab, I have no mom or father. I'm just number twelve." Beast Boy said as he removed his right glove to show his hand. His hand was green like the rest of his body, his fingernails where razor sharp and there was the number twelve tattoo on his skin.

"Twelve? You mean there are more people like you?" Robin asked as Beast Boy laughed a little.

"There were more like me." Beast Boy said correcting him. "But to make sure they got the strongest possible soldier for the process, they had us fight each other to see who was the strongest. And the winner had to........eat the loser." Beast Boy said as the Titans gasps.

"Why would they make you do something like that?" Raven said as the Titans nodded.

"The DNA was added to my own, it was there way of speeding up the evolution process. Kill the weak genes off and improve the strong ones. I fought more copies of me than I wish to count. They would take my DNA then use accelerated aging and made me fight them, then force me to eat them. This was a daily process, I would fight four to five copies a day and have to eat them." Beast Boy said as he took a seat on floor.

"But why just you?" Cyborg asked.

"There were twelve of us at the very start, each of us where different. Some of us had different kinds poison running through are veins, some had alien blood, some just had pure animal blood, and me I had five percent human DNA which give me this form. I survive and I had to eat my brothers and sister if you could call them that." Beast Boy said.

"Where they all shapeshifters?" Robin asked.

"Yes. At first I could only change into normal animals, then after I eat my brother and sisters I gain the ability to change into Dinosaurs. Then after they started the evolution process it only took a few months for me to gain the ability to change the size of my animal forms at will. Then came my ability to use more than one form at a time then finally the I gain the ability to change into mythical animals. After that they sent me on assassination missions around the world." Beast Boy said as he brought his knees to his chest.

"How did you break free?" Starfire asked.

"That was there mistake, by using human DNA it gave him freewill. My animal instincts and my human instincts wanted freedom. So I used everything they taught me about sabotage, espionage, scouting and assassination to free myself. That was how I made it to the Doom Patrol." Beast Boy said as the Titans took this all in.

"What about the scars?" Raven asked.

"Some from the experiments, some from the missions they sent me on, some from my time with the Doom Patrol when we battled the Brotherhood Of Evil, some from my time as a mercenary." Beast Boy as he rubbed his neck where a long gash was.

"Do you remember who did that?" Robin said as he pointed at Beast Boy neck.

"Oh yeah. Her name was Cheshire ruthless girl, she was a mercenary like me. I fought her in my Minotaur form, and when I pinned her to the ground her arm came out of nowhere and sliced my throat. I thought people could only be double-jointed she was triple-jointed, to make matters worse the blade was dipped in poison, but luckily I was immune." Beast Boy said as he laughed a bit. "Anything else you want to know?" Beast Boy asked as he looked a the Titans.

"Just one. Who did this to you?" Robin asked.

"Cadmus." Beast Boy said as he stood up. "So now that you know are you kicking me off the team?" Beast Boy asked Robin.

"I really don't like the fact that you killed people. But I believe you, you have been a good addition to the team and I wouldn't dream of kicking you off." Robin said as he put his hand on Beast Boy shoulder.

"Thanks. That means a lot." Beast Boy turn to the rest of the Titans who where on the couch. "You guys don't have a problem with me staying right?"

"Hey man it's no big deal, I can now understand why you wouldn't want to eat meat." Beast Boy had a confused look on his face. "It's kind of like eating yourself." Cyborg said as he laughed a little.

"Yes friend Beast Boy, thought your past is not normal you are still my friend." Starfire said as she pulled him into a death hug.

"Thanks Star." Beast Boy said as took a deep breathe after she let him go.

They all turned to Raven who was seating on the couch. "What?" Raven said as they smiled at her. "Fine. I have no problem with him staying." Raven said this with even less emotion then normal.

"That's good to hear." Beast Boy said.

(Desert Area)

As Terra set in the cave she was staying she couldn't help but think back to the day her brother died. After that animal killed her brother they all thought the war was over, that there was no hope. But a miracle happen they receive some information and documents about Baron's headquarters and they where able to sneak in and end the war. But that wasn't the end for Terra she left right after Baron was captured to find her brother's killer, and now that she found him she would do whatever it takes to make him pay. She broken out of her thoughts when see heard footsteps, she stood up and prepared to attack. Then she saw him, only one eye was showing through his orange and black mask and his armor looked like it was from the military.

"Who are?" Terra asked as she floated a rock in the air ready to attack.

"I believe we can help one another." Terra watched as he stepped forward.

"That doesn't answer my question!" Terra said as the she caused pillars to explode out of the ground, blocking him from coming any closer.

"You have more control than I thought." Terra watched as he laughed a bit.

"I was taught by my brother." Terra said without thinking.

"Ah yes, Brion Markov or Geo-Force. That was until Beast Boy killed him." Terra eyes narrowed.

"I will make him pay."Terra said as her voice was filled with rage.

"I know the feeling, because of him I lost dear to me to. That is why I think we can help each other." Terra removed the pillars.

"Who are you?" Terra asked.

"Call me Slade." Slade said as he extended his hand. "Come along I have much to teach you."

"Teach?" Terra asked a little confused.

"Yes, If you want Beast Boy you have to take on the Teen Titans. And you will need more training to take them on." Slade said.

"I understand. If you promise that after your teaching I can kill him. I will go with you." Terra said as Slade nodded. "Okay then." Terra took Slade's hand.

A/N So how was that? If possible I would like to hear what you are all think about this Chapter. Should Terra be more violent to Beast Boy? What did you think about Beast Boy past? And the way his powers where increased. If it's confusing I can try to explain it better in the next chapter.
