Hello again everyone!

I hope you aren't mad at me for taking a long time to update, my life been a bit stressful the past few days. My uncle broke his neck, my grandpa's in the hospital, and I've been doing things for church, so I'm a little swamped. Sweat drop.

Anyways, here's a new chapter!

The doctor walked silently toward the waiting room, knowing that what he had to do, had to be done very carefully and with as much sympathy as he could muster. The only thing he didn't know was how to go about doing it.

Sure, he had done this before, but never had he ever had to break the news to superheroes, much less the Teen Titans.

He stopped just in front of the waiting room's doors, staring out though the small, square windows at the group of friends beyond them.

The nurse leading him there just continued walking, not noticing that he had halted halfway in her rush to her desk. The metal doors swung open as she pushed though them, making a faint swish noise when fell back to their original positions.

He watched as one of the boys asked her if there was any news and their faces when she told them that the doctor, himself, would tell them shortly. They looked excited, yet scared to hear it.

The doctor looked toward the ceiling, the white, plain ceiling, and stood there for a while. He had no idea of what to say to them, how to start.

'I guess that I'll just tell them the truth...' He thought to himself, sighing and looking back out the window. He stepped forward, hand out, pushing the door open before him, and prayed that he would say the right words.


Robin sat there on his seat quietly, listening to Beast boy's silence. He had asked him about what had happened, yesterday, on the bridge, and now he wished he hadn't. Beast boy obviously didn't want to talk about it, judging by his sad face and shut mouth.

"Beast boy, please." Robin pleaded; hoping with all his heart Beast boy would forgive him for asking such a question, but he just had to know! It was eating him up from the inside.

"It will make you feel better if you just tell us what happened. You're the only one who knows."

Beast boy looked down at his feet, eyes holding sadness and regret, but most of all guilt. He sighed and sat back in his seat.

"Okay." He whispered to them as if he was afraid anyone else would hear other than the two boys across from him and the sleeping girl beside him. "I'll tell you."


Beast boy felt awful. He had been keeping what had happened a secret, for no one to know but he and Raven. He didn't even think about how the others felt in not knowing, only worrying about himself, his own feelings.

He had to make it up to them by letting them in on his secret, no matter how hard it was.

"Well," He began, voice slightly shaking even though he calm, "You all know that it all started when we got the emergency call from the police. How they said that there were some new monsters from Slade destroying the bridge and that we went after them. So I'll just tell you what happened after that."

He swallowed slowly and took a deep breath before continuing.

"Raven and I were fighting together on the far end of the bridge, trying to get rid of the few that were eating away at the supports, when we were outnumbered. We tried to fight them off, but there were too many. They had these strange new weapons I had never seen before and as you probably already know, they were very powerful.

"We were stuck in a small clearing, surrounded on all sides by the enemy. I couldn't see any of you guys at all because you were at the other end, and I knew that it would be really hard to fight them off. I think Raven knew that too.

"We waited for them to make the first move and that was probably our first mistake. They all fired at us all at once. I quickly changed into a bird, flying up with Raven, dodging the attack.

"Suddenly, one of them shot upward, right at me. I was too stunned to move. Raven flew in front of me and took the hit, screaming so loud I can still hear it. She fell to the ground and stayed there. She didn't move at all."

Tears started running down Beast boy's face, but he still continued with his story. Robin and Cyborg stared at him in awe. They couldn't believe all the things that Beast boy had gone though, just in one day. They listened intently to what he had to say next.

"I was shocked." Beast boy said, looking down at his feet once again, avoiding the gazes of his teammates. "I could hardly think straight, until the creeps started running at her. I changed into a T-Rex and smacked them away as hard as I could, off the bridge. It was a good thing that they couldn't swim.

"I went back to normal and knelt down by her. She was hardly breathing. I did the only thing I could think of, I picked her up and started running toward the city. I didn't think about changing into an animal to get there quicker, all I thought was that I had to get her to a hospital and fast.

"I ran as hard as I could to the hospital, totally forgetting about the fight on the bridge. The doctors took her right away, but I couldn't go with her. I was so tired that if I hadn't sat down when I did, I just may have passed out.

"Luckily, Starfire was there, having followed me to the hospital, and she went in with Raven. I stayed in the waiting room, resting, until you guys came to pick me up and bring me back home."

Beast boy set his head in his hands, his job done, his secret told. Tears flowed freely down from his eyes toward the floor, finally giving into the pull of gravity. He cried silently, happy to have the story off his shoulders at last.


The doctor stopped, shocked and unable to move.

Had he heard right? Had this boy sitting here be the one that saved the young girl's life?

He smiled sadly, beside himself, and slowly backed away into the hallway once again, happy that they had not seen him. He knew that he had to tell them at some point today, but he decided to wait a bit longer and let them get prepared for it before he broke the news to them. He didn't want to add more grief to their hearts just yet.

'So sad...' He thought to himself, walking away down the empty and bare hallway, white coat swaying in tune with his footsteps.


Yea! That was my longest chapter ever!
