APOLOGIZE

Starfire told Beastboy to go change his clothes, as him being in nothing but torn clothings were distracting.

He understood.

He dressed himself in a black tee and dark green jogger pants. He felt comfortable at least. A little disoriented from moving around a lot, as he hasn't exactly fully recovered from the fight. He had a nagging headache as well. It wasn't big enough to be considered painful, but it was annoying.

He just wished it would go away. But he knew it wouldn't.

Once he was fully dressed, he sprinted back to the infirmary. He nearly crashed into Starfire from running too fast.

He almost passed out as well from the running.

"Friend Beastboy, you need to slow down. Raven will be okay."

"I...I know it's just...ugh, whatever. How's Bee doing?"

"She is doing fine, but I recommend that we be as silent as possible. She is doing the concentrating."

Beastboy nodded and walked through the door of the infirmary. There he could see Bee working fast and hard. He could see sweat pouring down on her face.

She looked extremely stressed out. Beastboy couldn't blame her.

He was stressing out from just standing there.

And so, the wait began.

2 hours later...

Beastboy and Starfire were pacing around the room impatiently. They were calm and collected around Bee so she could work on Cyborg with little to no distractions, but she was taking quite the time.

She was still working extremely fast, but she had to restart on the wires 4 times already from anxiety. It frustrated Beastboy to no end, but he knew it wasn't her fault, so he stayed silent.

Until he couldn't take it anymore.

"We're running out time..." he said. Starfire didn't even bother scolding him for it. In fact, she was just as anxious. Bee turned around irritated, and sighed annoyed. "Would you like to do this? or would you rather be patient, and let me finish!"

Beastboy only blinked at her and said, "seriously, we're almost out of time."

"Don't you think I fucking know that already!"

"I'm just saying, you should probably put some more pep in your step ya know?"

"Okay, fuck you man! This shit ain't easy!"

"Whatever. Just turn around and work faster."

"No! Apologize!"

"What?"

Beastboy wasn't the only one confused, as Starfire said "what" in unison with him.

"I'm not going to work any faster until Beastboy apologizes."

"Are you serious?" Beastboy asked alarmed.

"Deadly."

"MY BEST FRIEND'S LIFE IS AT STAKE, AND YOU SAY NO!?"

Starfire looked just as angry, but she was definitely more reasonable. She understood both Titans were angry and nervous, so she decided to calm them both down.

"Guys, we don't have the t-"

"YOU HEARD ME GARFIELD! APOLOGIZE YOU DIMWIT!"

"FOR WHAT!? I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING!"

"EXACTLY! YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"

"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY BRINGING THAT UP RIGHT NOW?"

WHY NOT? YOU THINK IT'S A PERFECT TIME TO PISS ME OFF WHENEVER YOU GET THE CHANCE!"

"Friends, if you could just listen-"

"OKAY, FUCK YOU KAREN!"

"NO FUCK YOU GARFIELD YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"

"IF YOU DON'T START WORKING ON CYBORG RIGHT NOW, I SWEAR IM GONNA-"

"WHAT? YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT GARFIELD! TORTURE ME LIKE YOU DID MY FATHER?!"

Beastboy was about to retort, but his words got caught in throat. Starfire glared at Karen for her incompetence.

"Karen, that's wrong and you know it. Garfield would never-"

"Kori you were there! You said it yourself that you caught him in the flesh and blood just standing there while my father..."

She suddenly broke down in tears. They were pouring from her face.

'Well this escalated quickly," Beastboy thought to himself. He knew Karen was devastated from the incident with her father, but he didn't know she would risk the lives of both Raven and Cyborg for comfort.

He remembered from the funeral that she promised she would find the person who was responsible for the death of the father, no matter what it took.

He didn't really take her words into account...until now at least.

"Karen I-"

"Tell me you're sorry now. Apologize for everything you did to me! And to my father!"

"Karen...I'm sorry. I really am. I didn't kill your father. There was nothing I could've done to save his life. And you know that. But for what it's worth, I am sorry for his death. And I'm sorry I wasn't there to comfort you about his passing. And after all this, I'll tell you anything you want to know about it, but right now, larger things are at stake. And we must address those problems first."

Karen had seemed to calm down at his words. Her head was down, so he couldn't really read her, or see how she was feeling. He could only hope she was okay.

Without a word, she turned around and got back to work on Cyborg, doing her best to fix his arm.

R and R.

Again, so sorry for this short chapter, but that's because something came up, that I would like to address.

Ive started another FanFiction. Don't worry, I'm not going to abandon this one, I'll just be posting on both at the same time. If you could support my other fic, that would be greatly appreciated. Once again, thank you for your patience with me, and This story.

Later.
