Heyo! TheTeleporter here! If I have to say something, I didn't expect to gain a follower already! I just posted the chapter last night! Anyways, everything is well, and I wanted to answer a review that I have received, by anonymous:
-BB is Beast Boy, and Rae is short for Raven. Sorry for not clarifying in the chapter, but everyone that has posted Teen Titans stories uses that nickname. Thanks for reviewing!
Anyways, on with the chapter!
First person POV:
I am called by many names: Animal, the observant, the shadow, lock-down. Animal for the many forms that I morph into; the shadow, since no one has seen my face; and lock-down for my method of being thorough. People have stated that my methods are better than Batman's, and I consider it as well. But I am simply the Watcher. I stand by for anyone that is in peril, and I'm there for anyone in need, whether it be physical, or emotional.
I used to be the one that was called Beast Boy of the Teen Titans. I chose to leave so I can have room to grow, as any person or animal needs, and I did grow. Where I went? To others, I simply disappeared. You see, Cyborg apparently did not tell the rest of the Titans that I left. I know this because I meet up with him every month over some coffee in the Jump City Café, and he eventually turned out to be my own personal technician. After I left, I went over to the Doom Patrol, and i was immediately let in again. Years ago, before I was temporarily let out of the Patrol, Mento made a deal with me. He told me that a true hero needs the strength, the maturity, and the heart to take care of the team. When Mento saw me once more, he acknowledged that I had the maturity and the heart, but I didn't have the proper strength. He did see something more, however; He saw that I had the intellect of a proper hero. So he let me back into the team. We went on for years, until a tragedy occurred:
Flashback…
Beast Boy, or the Beast was arriving at the location that Mento had instructed him to go to. Initially, there was a fire that started at a hotel, but Mento immediately noticed in the footage that a criminal's hand was showing in the camera, and told Beast that the accident was really arson. So Beast flew to investigate. "Beast Boy to Big daddy! Come in, Come in Big Daddy!" Beast laughed a little when he heard his mentor groan. "Garfield, I thought I told you not to call me that. It's really unprofessional, but what do you see?" Beast then looked over the sight. "Well, Big Poppa, there definitely was a fire here, and the fire was definitely not natural." Mento replied in his detective voice, trying to analyze what he heard. "What do you mean, Garfeild?" "Well, I can smell another scent, almost as if the cause was a metahuman." Beast turned into a bloodhound, and took another whiff. "Come in big Poppa, it was definitely a metahuman. One with the ability to create heat" Mento raised an eyebrow on the other line. "How so, Garfeild?" "well, Big Poppa, people that are heat creators smell crispy, but not burnt. Like how people that can manipulate water smell of a bitter taste." Mento chuckled. "Well, good work, Garfeild, now come on bac—" His line stopped. "Mento? Big Poppa? The big man? Come in, Big Poppa?" There was no answer. "Mento? Alright, I'm coming back, and this better not be a prank!" Beast turned into a Pterosaur and flew at his highest speed. He arrived at the headquarters in record time. Not that Beast acknowledged it, anyways. The lights were off, and the door was broken in, and it was covered with smoke soot. Beast smelled the burnt markings, and growled, his eyes narrowed. "Damn Fire creators!" He ran inside, instantly turning into a gorilla, and walked in the main room slowly, when… "Don't move Boy. Turn back into your human form and get on the ground!" Beast did as he was told, and got onto the ground. He noticed the face, but it was nothing new. "Heat wave, what a pleasure it is for you to have visited! Would you like a drink?" Beast chuckled, but Heat wave wasn't amused. "Still with the jokes, Boy? I thought you would have outgrown that habit!" Heat wave chuckled, and watched Beast very carefully. "Now, don't pull any tricks on me again, boy, and I might let you live. Now, do as I say." Beast narrowed his eyes, knowing Heat wave and his capabilities. "Well, give into my demands, and I might let you live." Heat wave laughed, and Beast continued. "Now, where is my team?" Heat Wave scoffed. "Your team? Oh, they're in that closet over there." Beast cautiously walked over to the closet, and opened it in a swift motion. They were all there, decapitated, except elastigirl, who looked like she had been raped, then killed. Shutting the door quickly, he growled at his opponent. "You killed them? How did you manage that? Never mind, I don't want to know. But raping elastigirl? Really?" Heatwave scoffed, giving Beast a look that made Beast want to kill him. "Oh, that chick. Bitch was easier to dominate than my exgirlfriend was." That did it. Beast lunged at his opponent, only for Heat wave to side step him. "Really, boy, after all of our encounters, and you still do that? Thought you learned something," Heat wave laughed, only for him to have a dagger pierce his chest. "Ow, that really hurt!" Heat wave only got stabbed in the abdomen. He fell to the ground, trying to locate the wound, when Beast approached him slowly. "Okay, Beast, that's your name isn't it? I'm sorry about your team, alright? I admit, Raping your mother figure was wrong, but do you really have to kill me? I could go to jail, and I'll stay for life, alright? What are you doing?" Beast knelt down, and looked him in the eyes. Heatwave was terrified now. Beast's eyes had one emotion, hatred. "You sicken me, Heat wave. Not only did you kill every single one of my teammates, you raped the one I consider my mother, since my actual mother died when I was young. They took me in when no one else could, and you kill them. I doubt that the prison could take you in, considering that you violated, dominated and took a woman's life. I doubt that hell could take you in, but we'll try." Beast stood up, and promptly disappeared. Heat wave was truly scared now. "Uh, Beast? Where did you go? Am I free to leave, or what?" He froze when he heard I tiny little voice in his ear. "Did you know that I have the ability to turn in to animals, as well as a molecule? I ca turn into any living thing that you can imagine, and do you know what happens when something big struggles to squeeze into a small enclosure?" Heat wave only whimpered. "The enclosure BREAKS" Beast proceeded to turn into a molecule, and floated into heatwave's head. The last thing Heat wave heard was "see you in hell." Beast boy promptly turned into an elephant, and Heatwave burst into a huge splat on various walls. Beast reappeared and looked at the walls in horror. He then grinned. This would definitely be taking other lives, and the first k ill felt amazing. But then he stopped; reality hit him like a runaway semi going 100 miles per hour. His parents were gone. His family, the Doom patrol, was gone. He slowly fell to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.
A few minutes later…
Beast packed his bags. Now that his family was gone, where could he go? Then he had a realization. Steve's will. He must have written one. Beast ran to Steve's room, and looked in the secret , compartment underneath a floor board, where a sheet of paper was rolled up. Beast looked at it, and read the sloppy hand writing. He must have known that Heat wave was coming, this looks like it was written in a hurry. The writing was short, but the message got through:
Garfield Mark Logan Dayton:
I'm sorry that you have to read this, considering that this isn't much of a will, but when I pass, and when the others pass as well, you are the man of the house. Over the years, I have noticed a great change since you left the Patrol. You are stronger, more intelligent, and more mature. You have a heart of gold, and you would do anything for us. I am proud to be your "big Poppa" as you code named me, and Rita is a proud "Momma Bear". You aren't a child anymore, and so, I am leaving you the company, the estate, and my fortune that we have worked so hard for. You really changed us in a great way, and I hope that the same happened to you.
With love, and a final goodbye,
- Steve and Rita Dayton
Beast let one tear fall onto the page, and kept the sheet on his back pocket. This was it, he was the big boss of the company, and he had no idea how to lead it. Beast left the estate, and flew to the one place where he could truly go.
…End of flashback
And that's where I went. I flew to the Watchtower, and met up with the Justice league. He was able to be certified as the head of Steve's company, but that's not all that changed. Everything had changed. It turns out that Robin was now Nightwing, Cyborg was a member of the league, and Raven went back to Azarath, for a short time, anyway. I had only met up with Cy, and he embraced me like a true brother. But now was the true test:
I had to meet with the other titans.
And that's a wrap! I hope that you liked it! Please Read, review, and I'll see you next time!
For your literary entertainment~ TT
