Thanks to the two of you thantreviewed.
The Power Within- that was excatly what I was going for, since I sometimes feel the same way.

Chapter 2: The Offer
When Beast Boy came to, he found himself in a dark room, chained to a chair. Slade stood in front of him with his back facing him.
Beast Boy struggled against the binds, but it was futile. He tried transforming, but he found he couldn't.
"That won't work my young shape shifter," stated Slade.
"What do you want!" demanded Beast Boy, still attempting to pull free of the chains that bound him to where he was.
"You," he answered, turning to face him. "Sorry I had to chain you up, but you know how it is with angry, misunderstood teens."
"Who're you to judge me like that?" But e knew Slade was right.
"The Titans don't understand you. They don't take you seriously. You're just the… 'comic relief.'"
"You're the one who took the only one who took me seriously away from me!"
"No, Robin did. He's the reason she ran away in the first place. Face it, kid: If I hadn't found her, you would have never seen her again, and she would still have no control over-"
"At least she would still be alive!" Beast Boy interrupted.
"Or would she? Terra was dangerous, most dangerous when she didn't know how to use her powers. Many people hates her for it. If she didn't get herself killed, they would do it for her.
"…"
"And I'm the only one who can bring her back." Beast Boy looked up. "Now that it seems that I've gotten your attention, let's talk." Slade pulled out a small remote and pressed a button. Beast Boy braced himself for what was sure would be painful, but instead, he was released. He rubbed his wrist where the chains had been too tight as Slade continued speaking. "I have an offer for you."
"What is it?" asked Beast Boy, curious.
"How would you like to join me?"
Starfire blasted the last of the robots with a star bolt. She followed after Robin, using her star bolts as light. They found Raven and Cyborg lying unconscious.
"Raven! Cyborg!" shouted Robin, kneeling beside Raven, and Starfire next to Robin.
Raven's eyes opened and she voiced weakly, "Where's Beast Boy?"
"I don't know," he admitted as Cyborg, too, regained consciousness.
"Please, Friends, tell us what has happened," Starfire begged.
"You mean other than BB failing to tell us those stupid robots were behind us, then us getting knocked out?" Cyborg sounded irritated.
Robin took out his communicator. "Beast Boy, where are you? Beast Boy! Pick up!"
Beast Boy held his communicator, looking at it as Robin's voice sounded. But he didn't answer. His eyes narrowed before he crushed it in his fist. "I accept."
