Welcome to the second installment of Welcome to My Life! I hope you've liked it so far. Beast Boy has had it pretty hard so far in this story, and his experiences are not about to lighten. So, if you're looking for a strictly happy story where everyone is positive and caring and nothing bad happens at all, I suggest you look for another story. Because that's not this one. Well, things can't stay bad forever. They will lighten sometime… but maybe not soon. Since I write this introduction before I write the chapter, I don't really know what's going to happen yet in the story. All I know is that it's not all going to be happy.

Beast Boy stood at the end of the street, staring at the scene before him. The Titans were engaged in their fierce battle with Odium. Raven and Starfire had almost moved all of the women out of his truck and into the safety of the buildings surrounding the street. It seemed that somehow the actual battle had been relocated from the street to the rooftop of the apartment building from which Odium had earlier kidnapped the young woman, Sarah. He still held her limp unconscious body in one of his arms as he warded off Robin and Cyborg's attacks.

Robin jumped towards him, legs outstretched for a hard kick with his metal shoes, but had to roll off to the side just before impact. Odium had used his hostage as a shield, holding her in Robin's path. Robin rolled across the rooftop. He stopped his roll, crouching on the ground. Frustration and anger burned deeply in his eyes. Odium watched Robin roll with a look of entertainment and enjoyment glistening in his features.

"Aren't you the little acrobat?" Odium smiled wickedly at the expression of malice on Robin's face. "OOWW!!"

While his back was turned, Cyborg had sent a sonic blast right at Odium's unprotected rear. Odium was lifted off his feet, and landed just a foot away from the edge of the roof. He teetered back and forth dangerously for a moment before he regained his balance. He turned and glowered at Cyborg. "That's it! You've done it now!"

He held the unconscious Sarah over the edge of the roof, and after witnessing the shocked looks on the Titans' faces, he let go.

"BEAST BOY! Catch her!!" Robin's voice roared in Beast Boy's ears even though he was standing so far away. Beast Boy's eyes grew wide as he saw the helpless girl fall through the air. He began to run towards her but she seemed to grow farther away with each step. It felt as if he was running through water, his arms and legs pushing with extra strength but his body hardly moving at all. He saw her fall, fall, and fall. His eyes grew moist as they filled with tears. 'I'm a failure. I can't save her.'

"Beast Boy! Help me!!" Beast Boy's jaw dropped, and his eyes grew even larger. Sarah's body had just transformed into Raven's. He watched as his dark teammate plummeted towards her doom. "Beast Boy!! Save me!"

His body felt as if it had just been pumped full of extra strength and adrenaline. "RAVEN! I'm coming!" He ran, faster and faster. But the more he ran, the closer she came to striking the street. Beast Boy's heart stopped. She had hit the pavement. He could not save her.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"RAVEN!!!!" Beast Boy's voice emerged from his throat with so much force that his body shook. He coughed and wheezed in a breath, feeling pain emerge from his lungs and chest. Pain began to engulf his entire body, taking over every inch of his flesh.

His eyes shot open and spun around in his head. His brain took in the images from his eyes and began to process the information. He was somewhere in the Tower. The walls were white, but there was a light blue curtain surrounding his bed. Windows were open somewhere, allowing light to enter and brighten the room. Sunlight… it had to be the next day since it had been night when they set out for battle.

"Raven," Beast Boy croaked again, his voice barely comprehensible. His left hand twitched, trying to find something to grab onto. He couldn't even feel his right hand. He needed to find something to hold himself steady; he felt as if he were going to fall and never again be still. Beast Boy abruptly stopped moving, even stopped breathing. He felt something in his hand, and it felt strangely warm.

"Raven?" Beast Boy whispered, turning his head to look into the large purple eyes watching over him. As his eyes focused on her face, he realized that it really was her.

"Beast Boy! You're finally awake!" The sound of her voice was enough to remind Beast Boy that he needed to take in a breath. He breathed deeply and again felt the pain. "I was afraid there was something wrong with the healing… you were supposed to wake up hours ago!"

"I've always been a heavy sleeper," Beast Boy grinned slightly and realized that he still held Raven's hand in his. He would let go… but he just had no strength left to even unlatch his fingers, right? Anyway, she had put her hand in his, so that meant that she had the right to choose when to pull her hand away. Not him… right?

"Raven!" Beast Boy's mind suddenly shot back into reality. He hurriedly tried to sit up, but Raven held him down, a frown on her face. "Raven, I thought you… Odium, at the battle… Sarah fell… She was you… I'm sorry, I couldn't get there… I tried… I couldn't…" Beast Boy stammered on until he saw the look of confusion on Raven's face.

"Beast Boy it's alright. You had passed out… no one blames you." Raven had a deep frown on her face and worry marks had formed on her brow. "You hit that wall pretty hard. It's a wonder that you actually made it down the street before you collapsed." The look on Beast Boy's face caused Raven to go into further explanation. "We found parts of your communicator in an alley down the street from your body. And we also found… traces of you blood on the wall. We figured that's where you must have hit after Odium threw you." Beast Boy nodded slightly, agreeing with her statement. 'So I was just dreaming about the battle with Odium,' he thought to himself. 'Thank god it was only a dream!'

"What happened after I left the fight?" Beast Boy's voice was growing stronger, but was still a bit hoarse. "Did you win?" Raven lifted a glass filled with a liquid from the side table. She handed it to Beast Boy. He took it gingerly in his left hand, forced to release her hand from his.

He eyed the cup cautiously. You never know what potion Raven may have fixed up for you and slipped into your drink. Beast Boy's mind wandered back to a few weeks ago when he had played an awfully nasty trick on his fellow teammate. He had put yellow dye in her shampoo, causing her, in just a few short minutes, to become a blonde. Even though Raven had easily mixed up a tonic to change her hair back to its deep shade of violet, she had not appreciated the joke and decided to get her revenge in his next can of soda, which she handed to him amiably. Beast Boy was throwing up for three days straight after his first sip. He swore to himself that he would never again trust any drink given to him by Raven.

He looked at the glass of clear liquid and placed it to his lips. 'She can't make things any worse for me than they are now,' Beast Boy thought as he felt pain run threw his nerves, up and down his spine. He took a small sip. His shoulders drooped in disappointment. It was just water.

"Starfire and I were able to move all of the women in the truck to a neighboring rooftop," Raven said as she watched Beast Boy sip the water. "All of them are alright now. It didn't take too long for Odium's comatose effect to wear off of them. Just to be safe, we brought all of them to the hospital to make sure they were okay."

"What about that one girl," Beast Boy's voice was now much louder and clearer, compliments of the water, "… Sarah? Did you get her away from Odium?"

"Yes, Robin rescued her just moments after you were sent flying from the battle. It was very heroic actually." Raven smiled. "He actually spun around in mid-kick and hit Odium in the back of the head, which caused him to drop Sarah. He then was able to snatch her away before Odium was sure what had happened."

Beast Boy's heart sank and his whole body felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds. 'So Robin was able to rescue her, but I couldn't?'

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?

"Beast Boy," Raven frowned in concern, "What's wrong?"

'Oh, nothing's wrong Raven,' Beast Boy thought to himself. 'Well, nothing except that I was left out from the battle and wasn't able to help anyone AT ALL. And Robin was able to save that girl but I couldn't! If I were more like him maybe I would contribute something to this team!'

"Nothing's wrong, Raven. I just wish I could have been there… to see it," Beast Boy's voice quivered slightly, just enough to allow Raven to identify his lie.

"Hmmm…" Raven eyed Beast Boy, a thoughtful look on her face. "Do you think you can walk?"

Beast Boy looked at her, surprised, his eyes expressing his question. She raised one brow, waiting for his answer. Beast Boy carefully shifted back and forth in the bed. The pain had subsided some since he had awakened, but he still couldn't feel his right arm. He lifted both legs an inch from the bed. They felt alright. "Yeah, I think so… why?"

Raven bent over and rested a hand on his healing arm. Dark magic surrounded his flesh. Beast Boy yelped as he felt pain surge through his bone and veins. He shut his eyes tightly and gripped the edge of the bed with his free hand. After a few moments of pain, Raven slowly moved her hand away, taking her magic with her.

Beast Boy shakily loosened his grip on the bed and opened his eyes. He could feel his arm now as well as the slight pain surging through his bone. He cautiously lifted the arm off of the mattress and watched it closely as he bent his joints and moved his muscle. He could feel a slight pain, but no where near what he had felt moments before. 'Well, I guess the main thing is that I can FEEL it now,' he thought.

"What'd you do?" Beast Boy asked still watching his arm as he tested its flexibility.

"I added some extra healing to it," Raven said as she, too, watched Beast Boy's arm bend. "I had already healed it mostly, but it was a really bad break and I wanted your body to do some of the healing by itself… just to be sure I didn't mess it up at all. I didn't know if my magic would prevent you from being able to morph the bone in your arm if I didn't allow your body to do some of its fixing." Raven moved her eyes from the arm to Beast Boy's face. He felt her eyes on him and brought his up to meet hers. "Can you still morph it?"

Beast Boy looked back at his recently broken arm, then up to Raven's worried eyes, then the arm again. In just one second he had changed his arm from a tiger's, to a bear's, to a otter's, to a frog's, and then to a gorilla's. "Yup, I think its working fine."

Raven sighed and smiled in relief. "I had numbed your arm earlier so you wouldn't have to feel the pain while it healed."

"Thanks," Beast Boy said. "Every other part of me hurts like heck, might as well not have to suffer a broken arm, too."

"Well, now that I know you're feeling alright, would you like to go on a walk with me? It would stretch out your legs." Raven smiled and reached out a hand to help Beast Boy out of the bed.

Beast Boy took the offered hand in his. "Sounds like a plan."

Okay, it looks like this is going to be probably two more chapters long. I thought it would be shorter, but I just get into so much detail that I have to lengthen the entire story! I know this chapter was a bit shorter than the last, but it's all I have right now.

Sorry it takes so long for me to update. I like my chapters to be perfect, with no mistakes and with just the right… everything!

Thanks SOO much to everyone who reviewed!! You are great!!
Please keep reviewing! The sooner I get reviews, the sooner you get the next chapter!

My advice for today is: If you are taking care of your friend's fish while they are gone on vacation, do NOT dump the whole food bottle into the tank and figure that it will last for the week and they'll just eat when they're hungry. Umm… I think I need to get some new fish…

(JK Syd!! You're fish are fine!)

This is WhiteTigerClaws, gone for another day…

Adios!
