This chapters a lot longer than the others in this part so skip it if you want. It's just the storey of Beastboy getting his powers basically.

Anti-body III: Into The Mind

------------------------------------------------

The huge mucous green blob once again attacked with its slimy tentacle. Beastboy ran all he could but the germ wouldn't stop chasing him. Again and again he narrowly avoided the whipping strikes. The grey cloud surrounding him showed no sign of getting thinner or thicker. A tentacle wrapped around his leg and hung him above the laughing mouth of the germ, its gripped loosened and Beastboy plummeted towards his demise. Or he would had this been real.

Beastboy sat up in bed quivering and shaking in fear. Sweat was pouring out of his skin. He snatched the can on his bedside table, it may have stung his eyes and tasted like gone off fish, but he knew it would protect him from the true menace.

"No." Beastboy stuttered as the sound of the spraying skipped like a CD and eventually stopped. There was nothing left, no defences from the invaders. Beastboy shook even more, he was soon holding his knees and mumbling again.

"Sakutia, Sakutia."

Cyborg knocked as loud as he could on the door. No answer. He shrugged to the rest of the Titans. He knocked again, Still no answer.

"B, you ok in there?" The half robot shouted. Slightly frustrated he began barging the large metallic door with his shoulder. It slammed on the floor sending up a huge amount of…. nothing. Not a single cloud of dust or anything. In front of them stood a white abyss of plastic encased items. They crept silently through the room listening to the eerie silence.

A cold clammy hand fell on Starfire's shoulder, she turned to see a yellow headed black faced person carrying two large canisters on their back. She started screaming and the rest of the team looked back and got ready to attack.

"Hey guys its me." a familiar voice said. The team rested knowing Beastboy was underneath the biohazard suit. His current mental condition had seemed to have deteriorated over time.

"Beastboy, we are all glad to see you. " Starfire said hugging him.

"Star get off me." he cried pushing her to the floor. The other Titans gasped at how dark and isolated their friend had become. Beastboy started spraying the area where Starfire had touched him with another can of disinfectant.

"What do you think you're doing?" Robin yelled as he helped Starfire up.

"Usually your stewing in your own filth." Raven said. Beastboy stopped spraying and backed away from his friends, his hands held in a defensive position in front of him.

"Look it's not like you think." he stammered. "I…I….I just want to be alone." It was quite surprising for the Titans to be shooed out of a room by one of their own. As they exited, Raven looked back. There had to be some way she could help him through this. Shadows engulfed the top of the suit. It lifted itself off of Beastboy's head.

"Arrgh Raven. I need that. Give it back." Beastboy jumped all he could but he soon fell unconscious from shock. Raven walked up to the lifeless body and placed her hand on his forehead.

"I hope this works." she said. A powerful force was created in front of her. Raven soon found herself spinning in the vortex leading to Beastboy's mind.

* * *

Raven had frequently dived into her deepest thoughts during meditation, but never before had she entered another person's. along narrow corridor appeared in front of Raven, as she walked down two doors appeared, one each side of her. On the side of the left door was a picture of a jester laughing franticly.

"This is obviously, the jokey side to him." Raven pondered. She opened the door slightly. A custard pie came out of no where and hit her in the face. Thankfully a jet of water then hit forcing her out of the room.

"Don't go in there again." it was bad enough having a joker around but if this side got loose there would be pandemonium in the tower.

Raven tried the other door. Behind it she found a vast sprawling jungle, the noises of every known animal could be heard. A rather long python slid by under her feet, but unlike others it was green. A monkey swung over her head, it too was green. Every animal Raven passed it was like when Beastboy transformed into them.

A clearing eventually came into view, in the centre of which there was a massive tree. It could have been bigger than the tower. Raven approached it, as she did the tree glowed a luminous yellow. Beams of light burst out collected together in front of Raven.

"I know why you're here." a mystical voice spoke it was impossible for raven to figure out where it was coming from.

"You wish to find out our recent fear of bacteria and viruses." It said again.

Raven nodded "Yes."

"Very well we will show you." The area surrounding raven seemed to evaporate and dissolve around her. A new place then settled in. raven had been shrunk down to the size of a large insect, she found that she had no control of her body and was picked up by an invisible force. She was carried out to an African savannah where a safari truck drove and bumped over the rocky dirt road. Raven was placed down on one of the ledges on top of the roof. A young boy, about ten years old, was busily taking photos of all the animals he could see.

Raven ducked as a mosquito flew over her head and onto the boys arm. It fed quite well then buzzed off into the distance. Raven's attention turned back to the boy. He had started to sweat heavily and clenched his arm in pain. He yelled and fainted on the floor.

The scene dissolved and now Raven found herself in a hospital ward. The boy was in a bed connected to all sorts of life support machines. A doctor and a man who was obviously the boy's father stood over him.

"I'm sorry Mr. Logan but we have no cure for Sakutia." the doctor said looking at a clip board. The other man who had been crying slammed his fist on the table.

"There has to be something we can do, maybe my genetics research can help." he was frustrated at how little one of the worlds top geneticists could do to stop the virus slowly killing his son. The doctor left and closed the door slowly.

"Wait, animals don't catch Sakutia." Mr Logan checked to see that no one else was around. He discounted the various tubes and wires. Once again the ward vanished and Raven was in front of the glowing tree.

"And that's what happened." Beastboy showed up in front of her, he was his perfectly normal self, no suits, masks or spray cans.

"How did you get in here?" Raven gasped.

"Urrrrr……. It is my brain" he replied. Raven blushed slightly at this stupid question. Her mission was successful so there was no need to talk through minds. She pulled her hand off Beastboy's head.
