She watched as Deamon's tear-stricken eyes started glowing pink and she threw the half metal man off of her and threw herself onto Beastboy's inanimate body, clutching his head to her chest and pressing her head on his. Witch could see Deamon's pretty face contorted in a look of intense agony as she pressed his limp head on her heaving chest. The girl with the dark hair felt her eyes water in horror at what had happened to one of her best friends, and in pain at what she imagined the pink eyed girl was going through. She turned around and nuzzled her face into Robin's chest, feeling the security of his breathing.

But Deamon had nobody. She was alone, clutching Beastboy's lifeless body to her. Beastboy lying on the cold, hard cement of that cold and dark room. He had given her the bigger piece of cloth to cover her mouth, he had saved her.

'He saved me.' she whispered, the tears slowly leaking out of her scarlet eyes. She felt Robin wrapping his arms around her shoulders, she knew he was crying too although he'd never admit it. Beastboy was gone.

'NO!!!' came Deamon's pretty voice contorted in tortured anguish, filling the room with distraught agony, and tearing all the titans hearts apart, bit by bit. 'NO!!!' the screams were mixed with sobs of tormented suffering as Cyborg tried to prise her away from the cold form of the changeling, but to no avail: she would never let go. 'I love you, Beastboy!' she cried out, thumping Cyborg hard in the abdomen and making him fly backwards into a wall. 'I can't live without you!!!' she screamed.

Witch looked around the room at the others: Raven was sitting in a corner, her cape pulled over her face but the tears rolling down her cheeks could still be seen underneath; Starfire was helping Cyborg up, her face soaking with tears as they gushed down from her eyes before tumbling to the ground; Cyborg, trying to hide the pain gnawing at him, but it was clear that he was in just as much pain as all the others. But noone could compare with Deamon's grief-stricken screams.

Suddenly the girl in the black and red dress placed the changeling gently on the floor and stood up, towering over him with a look of agonising determination on her distraught face.

'I won't let you go!!!' she bellowed, her pretty voice distraught yet determined. She looked up into space, the tears still rolling down her flushed cheeks, a single-minded frown on her pretty forehead. 'TAKE ME INSTEAD!!!' she hollered suddenly, still glaring up into space, her hands rolled into fists on either side of her lower abdomen.

'Deamon, NO!!!' cried Raven, reaching out for her before being thrown back against the wall as a bright pink light suddenly started shining around Deamon and a lifeless Beastboy, the girl's face contorted in sorrow and pain.

'DEAMON!!!' bellowed Cyborg, running forwards only to be thrown backwards again, by some kind of force-field around the two as Robin stood up suddenly.

All of a sudden, the pink-haired started glowing again, the same way she had in Ireland, when she had brought down her own creator. Witch watched in horror as her face relaxed slightly into a neutral expression, yet sorrow was etched in her stunning pink eyes. She and Beastboy's lifeless body slowly started drifting weightlessly up, so they were floating in mid-air, both upright. There was an mild explosion which threw everyone who had been standing up onto the hard floor, where they watched as Beastboy's body drifted slowly towards Deamon and she was engulfed in his lifeless form, before he slowly wafted back down towards the ground and the force-field disappeared as did the pink light.

There was a silent moment which seemed to last an eternity in which nothing happened. The teen titans gazed at Beastboy's body, lying alone in the middle of the room, still as anything. Suddenly he coughed, and rolled painfully onto his side, before picking himself up into a sitting position.

'Deamon?' he asked quietly as the others all watched in silent sorrow, not knowing whether to feel happy that Beastboy was back, or miserable that Deamon was gone. 'Why did you let her do that?!?' he shouted at them furiously, standing up and then swaying before falling back down. 'HOW COULD YOU?!?!?!' he bellowed furiously, the pain audible in his voice.
