Beastboy sat slouched at the dinning room table. He sighed inwardly. He looked like a lost puppy.
Cyborg, who couldn't stand seeing Beastboy depressed, asked him "Say, why don't you help me fix up the T-Car?"
This was supposed to make Beastboy jumpy, but the only movement of Beastboy, was his shoulders going up and down as he sighed.
Beastboy shook his head, "I'm too sad to do that."
"How about we play some video games?" suggested Cyborg, "I'll even let you win!"
Beastboy let out a sob. He mumbled something, which Cyborg didn't catch.
"What did you say?" asked Cyborg.
Beastboy looked up at Cyborg, and said "I said, Raven used to watch us play video games."
Cyborg sighed, almost giving up. He asked "Beastboy, what can I do to make you happy?"
Beastboy looked down for a moment, and thought. He looked up and looked Cyborg in the eyes; in a serious tone, he said "Bring Raven back."
Cyborg left the kitchen, and walked into the common room, where Robin was looking over old files.
Robin looked up, "How it go?"
Cyborg shook his head, "The little guy is broken…"
Robin nodded, "We all are…"
Cyborg shook his head, "But Beastboy is reacting worst than us…I think he loved her…"
Robin opened his mouth to speak but an incoming call stopped him.
Robin growled the hated name, "Slade…"
Slade chuckled, "Robin…"
Getting right to the point, Robin questioned "What do you want, Slade?"
Chuckling evilly, he said "It's what you want."
The camera turned to show Raven. She was tied up and gagged.
"Let her go!" Robin exclaimed.
Beastboy who heard all the commotion came running into the common room.
He was just in time to see Raven on the screen, his face now reflected anger and rage and hatred.
Beastboy growled, "Release her or else!"
Slade replied sarcastically, "Oh, I'm so scared. A wimp of a green dude is going to hurt me."
Beastboy just kept on getting angrier. "Stop it!" he yelled.
"Or what?" questioned Slade.
That was it, Beastboy charged at the screen. It flashed off; Beastboy fell to the ground in a fit.
"Raven…." he sobbed.
Cyborg lifted Beastboy up from the ground.
"He has Raven…" whispered Beastboy.
"Act like a man, grass stain." said Cyborg, "Look at it this way- we are one step closer at finding her!"
Beastboy's sobs subsided.
"Better?" asked Cyborg.
Beastboy nodded slowly, "Much."
Starfire entered through the front door, with a brown paper bag. She set it down on the table.
"Where is friend, Beastboy?" asked Starfire.
Robin, the only one in the room, answered "Cyborg just got him to calm down. Where were you all day?"
"I was at the mall of shopping" she answered; "I must give this to Beastboy." she said and flew off.
Robin scratched the back of his head confused but shook it off.
Starfire paused at Beastboy's shut door; Beastboy never had his door shut. She knocked and said "Beastboy, it is I, Starfire. May I enter your room of bed?"
Beastboy mumbled a yes and opened the door.
Starfire put an object in Beastboy's hands.
Beastboy looked at the object oddly, "What is this?"
"On my planet, when a friend is 'down in the dumps', it is the job of the friend of the 'down in the dumps' friend to get them a gift to get them happy." she explained.
Beastboy smiled, "Thanks, Star."
"Did it work?" she asked.
"A little…I feel a little better" he said.
Starfire exclaimed "Wonderful!"
