Chapter 4: Sibling Subordination
Beast Boy's eyes widened and he shrieked like a girl, jumping backwards. "DUDE! NO FUCKING WAY!" Beast Boy cried aloud. Midnight suddenly looked alarmed.
"What! What's wrong?" she asked, stepping backwards cautiously. Beast Boy took a moment to recover from his state of shock. "Well?" she demanded.
"My name..." Beast Boy began. He couldn't bring himself to talk until Midnight gave him a sharp, irritated glare. "My name...is...Garfield...Garfield Logan." Midnight blinked before Beast Boy's comment sunk in. An earsplitting cry of surprise was issued from Midnight and she took another step backwards. Beast Boy pressed his pointed ears to his head, cringing lightly.
"That can't be true!" Midnight cried. Suddenly, her gaze hardened. "You're lying! You told me that you were an only child!" Beast Boy was taken aback by Midnight's denial. He would've thought that she'd agree with him. After all, it was obvious how similar they were. He grumbled lightly.
"I THOUGHT I was an only child," Beast Boy growled. "But APPARENTLY, I'm not." He massaged his forehead as Midnight gave him an unconvinced glare. "Why would I lie about something like this? What would I gain?" Midnight was about to answer when she realized that she had no response.
"But...but...GAH!" Midnight cried out in frustration. She turned to Beast Boy, truly looking at him for the first time. Only then did she notice their similar height, build, and bone structure. "Wow...you really are my brother, aren't you?" Beast Boy gave a solemn nod, watching as his sister accepted the truth. "Garfield...you can't tell anyone about this." Beast Boy blinked before realizing Midnight was talking to him. He wasn't used to being called by his first name. Why wasn't he allowed to tell the Titans? They'd accept her much more easily! He began to protest, but Midnight cut him off. "I have enemies...I don't want them finding out I have family...they'd come after you. I trust the Titans, but I just want to be on the safe side. Please...for both our sakes...keep this quiet." Beast Boy opened his mouth again, but sighed in defeat.
"Fine..." He responded, his trademark grin plastered on his face. "Only for you...Kat." Both of them laughed at the nickname Beast Boy had given her. "It's late, we should get back to the Tower." Midnight hesitated. Beast Boy seemed to notice. "No way you're sleeping outside tonight."
"Gar...I really shouldn't," Midnight responded, biting her lip. Beast Boy smirked lightly.
"Well...you're coming back to the Tower with me whether you like it or not," Beast Boy responded.
"Oh yeah? Make me!" Midnight responded, folding her arms firmly.
"If you insist," Beast Boy replied. Before Midnight could react, Beast Boy transformed into a large green pterodactyl, his talons gripping Midnight by the shoulders. In this awkward position, Midnight was unable to transform. She cursed at him several times, but, in the end, she allowed herself to be carried back to Titans Tower.
Midnight: Wow...I think that was the only moment when Beast Boy and I were actually serious. O.o
Erin: I agree...anyway, more updates coming soon thanks to the oh-so-wonderful vacation known as Spring Break! ;D
