Chapter 3: Midnight's Secret
Beast Boy arrived at the jail shortly, sighing heavily. He transformed back into his green human form, scratching his head. What was it about Midnight that troubled him? He couldn't exactly place it...He pushed the idea away from his mind and made his way towards the jail. Midnight was walking out. She glanced up at her fellow changeling, smiling.
"Hey Beast Boy!" Midnight cheerfully cried. Her silver gaze observed Beast Boy for a moment before her smile fell into a confused glance. "Something wrong?" Beast Boy looked at her. His expression was serious, like that of which he wore in battle.
"I need to know something..." Beast Boy began. "Where'd you come from...why are you here?" Midnight was startled by these sudden questions and stepped back slightly. Beast Boy's gaze hardened distrustfully.
"Is it really that important," Midnight asked. A hard glance from Beast Boy told her the answer. "Well...I'm not exactly sure where I came from...I've been wandering for almost my entire life. I'm here because...well, this was another stop on my journey." She watched Beast Boy carefully. He seemed to be thinking something through. An idea clicked in his head...could it be that she...? He had to find out.
"What's your name?" Beast Boy inquired. Midnight had a befuddled look on her face.
"I already told you," Midnight began, "I'm Mid-"
"No! Not that name!" Beast Boy said sharply, cutting her off. "Your other name. Your 'real' name. The name you were born with." Midnight hesitated, a glare lining her brow. "Well?"
"Why do you want to know?" She snapped. The sudden edge to Midnight's voice had startled Beast Boy, but he continued his interrogation.
"I need to know something," Beast Boy said, more calmly. Midnight relaxed, thinking. Since they met, she had trusted Beast Boy.
"I trust you...but you can't tell anyone...and I mean ANYONE," Midnight implored. Beast Boy gave a small nod. "My name...my real name...is Katelyn Logan."
