Thanks for the reviews for the first chapter. I'm trying to do this story as quick as I can but my looming exams don't help. Anyway, on with the fic and remember; REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans…
By the way, the end of this is going to be a heartbreaker…but for whom?
As Raven agreed with Robin she could feel the sense of dread looming within her. She knew Beast Boy wasn't going to like this descision, especially after the promise, but she felt it was best for Beast Boy.
'I'm not doing such a great job with controlling myself, perhaps I shouldn't take the responsibility' she thought.
"Okay Titans, I'll get Beast Boy and tell him the situation. I'm sure he'll under-" Robin started to say, but was cut of by a deafening roar, just outside the door.
"What was that?" cried Cyborg, glancing worryingly at the door.
"Beast Boy…" Robin trailed off. As he made a move towards the door, ready to attack.
He didn't get the chance as a huge green form tore through the door and threw Robin out of the way. The other Titans gazed in shock at the green animal that had attacked their leader.
"Beast Boy, stop!" shouted Raven as she tried to calm him down. She jumped in the path of the animal as it advanced on the fallen leader.
"Stop, now!" she said in a stern voice. The Beast just stood there unsure what to do while he sized his opponent up. This little girl was nothing in size compared to the Beast, but she held power far greater than anything it had encountered. Realizing it's equal the Beast halted slightly, trying to work out what to do next.
Raven could sense the Beast's wavering will and she decided to take the initiative. Turning to Cyborg and Starfire who were rooted to the spot behind her, she gestured them to go help Robin who was still a little dazed. As they walked slowly towards theor crumpled up leader, she turned back to the animal before her.
"Beast Boy, I know you're in there. You can fight this. Please calm down and try to return back to Beast Boy I know you can do it" Raven said lightly. She hated this soft voice but she had to try and calm Best Boy down. Raven could sense she was winning and that the animal would revert back to Beast Boy soon enough, she just had to make sure that nothing alarmed him or threatened him. She could hear the worried whispers behind her as she slowly made her way towards Beast Boy. Very slowly she held her hands up in an effort to calm him.
"Raven do not approach him" she heard Starfire call out.
"I know what I'm doing" she replied in the same soft voice "If I can prove to him that there is no threat here then he'll calm down"
Behind her Starfire and Cyborg had managed to wake Robin up. As he came to his vision was filled with an orange blur next to a silver one.
"Ow, my head" he said, rubbing his temples. He turned to his side and saw the scene of Raven slowly approaching a dark green…animal?
'Wait, that's Beast Boy!' Robin quickly jumped to his feet, his dizziness still apparent as he slightly swayed. The sudden movement caused a low growl from Beast Boy, the main threat was now back on his feet.
Within an instant Robin had pulled out a bird-a-rang from his utility belt and got ready to throw them. Starfire and Cyborg could only stare in shock as Robin hurled his weapons at full force towards the Beast. His judgement was still cloudy from waking up, as he failed to realize Ravens proximity to the target.
"Robin stop!" Raven shouted as she saw him throw his weapons at the animal next to her. As they hurled towards Raven she felt a strong arm wrap around her and throw her out of the way. She could only hear the Beast's painful cries as the bird-a-rangs exploded against him. Dropping to his knees, the Beast felt a new anger arise in him, and the old Beast Boy was pushed further down within their mind.
As Robin prepared another attack both Starfire and Cyborg grabbed him in an effort to stop their leader.
"Yo Rob, I think you need to calm down" Cyborg told him, grasping the leader's arm.
"Yes Robin, your anger isn't helping. Raven had the situation under control" Starfire informed him. Robin glanced at her, with confusion etched across his features.
'Raven? Where was she?' he asked himself.
"Where was Raven? Did Beast Boy attack her?" he asked his friend.
"No, I'm fine, no thanks to you! I had the situation under control until you woke up and attacked him…Wait, where is he?" she asked in confusion. Everyone looked around the room, but Beast Boy was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, Robin was hurled forwards as a green lump punched him from behind. Cyborg could only stare as the animal launched an attack at the mechanical teen, throwing him across the room in the direction of the kitchen.
Starfire readied an attack and threw her starbolts at her angered friend. As they collided with the animal she whispered an apology before continuing her attack. By this time both robin and Cyborg had recovered and joined the fray, helping to take down the Beast that was their friend. They both launched their attacks, careful not to injure their friend too much but with enough force to take him down.
Suddenly, a black aura surrounded the Beast, protecting him from any more harm. All of the remaining Titans halted their attacks and watched Raven as she slowly approached the animal.
"Stop, all of you! I'll deal with this situation and none of you will attack without my orders" she stated firmly, leaving the other Titans speechless. They had never seen Raven take charge like this before, but they couldn't argue with her either. Satisfied, the other Titans lowered their weapons and watched carefully in case Raven needed them.
Raven walked once more towards the Beast, who could only growl in response. As she walked closer he backed himself into one of the corners. Raven took note that if he felt cornered and threatened he might lash out.
"I'm not going to hurt you, I'm here to help you Beast Boy" she cooed softly "You must remember me? I'm Raven, your friend"
The gears in the animals mind began to turn as he processed the information. If this woman was his friend, then why could he only associate her with betrayal over something. Something about needing her help. If she had betrayed him before then she might to it again.
Raven saw the recognition in his eyes at the mention of her name. 'Finally' she thought 'I'm getting somewhere'
"That's right, Beast Boy, you can remember me" she told him softly. Suddenly, it all went wrong. At the Beast's recognition of her broken promise e quickly sensed a trap. Snarling, he jumped out of the corner and over head, leaving her in total confusion about his sudden mood change. She could only watch as the Beast threw the other Titans aside and hurl himself through a window sending shards of glass everywhere.
Robin was the first to react as he chased Beast Boy towards the window, but he could see that Beast Boy had scaled the wall down towards the bay and was already heading towards the mainland and towards the city.
"Titans, Beast Boy is heading towards the city and we need to stop him as soon as we can" he shouted to the others. He saw them nod in shock at what just happened.
"Good. Now Starfire will patrol the skies with Raven while Cyborg and I search the city from the streets. Remember, his natural instincts are to protect himself at all costs so beware. But Titans, try to go easy on him" he added.
Starfire walked over to where Raven was standing off to one side, still contemplating on what just happened. As she reached her she put a hand on her shoulder, breaking her out of her trance.
"Do not worry Raven, you did the best you could" she told her gothic friend. Raven only nodded as she walked over to the broken window, ready to take after Beast Boy.
"We tried it your way Raven" Robin told her "Now' we'll try it my way" he added grimly.
Another chapter complete. In next chapter the Titans find Beast Boy a little too hot to handle so they enlist the help of some other superheroes.
Tell me which heroes you will like added to, but I was thinking of adding Aqualad to fuel some jealousy from Beast Boy.
Remember, please review.
