"Ki-yah!" screamed out Robin as he slammed his steel toed boot into the wooden training dummy in his room. With a loud crack the dummy's head went flying across the room where it rolled to a stop in the corner.

Robin sighed as he added the destroyed dummy to a growing pile in another corner, "Stupid dummies. Last forever my ass."

He could still feel the rage in him. He had failed as team leader, again, and just like last time he had lost a teammate and a friend. And unlike Terra, Beast Boy hadn't done anything to bring his end about, nothing but try his best to protect his friends.

Robin's eyes twitched behind his mask as he felt tears welling up in his eyes. Beast Boy was his friend, no he was more like a brother to him. They had been through so much together, and Darkseid had taken it all away without a second thought. He was going to pay, if it took him the rest of his life and cost him it as well, he would make sure that Darkseid would pay.

His sight turned to his workbench where the overhead light reflected off of the disc that Beast Boy had left. He remembered when Beast Boy had given them to him for safekeeping.

Flashback

"Hey Robin, can I talk to you," asked Beast Boy as he walked into Robin's room.

"Sure what's up?" said Robin as he continued his stretching regimen.

Beast Boy reached out and handed him a small stack of jewel cases, "Here I want you to keep these."

Robin looked at them doubtingly, "Beast Boy, we talked about this before, downloading music isn't all right even if you are doing them to finish your Kick Villain Butt mix."

"Dude, it's not that," said Beast Boy with a laugh, "Besides, you know I haven't done that in a long time."

"Sure, that's why I had to debug your computer last week," said Robin with a laugh.

Robin sat down at his desk and pressed the button that flipped up his high definition monitor while simultaneously popping a keyboard out above his knees. Another flick of a switch and his CD drive popped out where he placed his CD and closed it again.

Two files popped up, one a word document and a video file. He was just beginning to open the document when a message suddenly popped up: Watch the video first

Shrugging his shoulders, Robin guided the mouse cursor and started the movie.

Hey Robin what's up dude?

Beast Boy's grinning face appeared as he waved at the camera.

"Awfully chipper for someone recording his death message," thought Robin cynically to himself.

Well, knowing you, you aren't watching this out of curiosity. I'm dead, and I can only hope that whatever caused my death was worth it in the end.

So yeah, I suppose your wondering why I recorded this. I want to say it's a message from beyond the grave but its not. I suppose this is just my way to say it's not your fault, so don't beating yourself up over it all."

Robin sighed, "You weren't the one who wasn't there to save you jerk."

Beast Boy continued on So yeah, I know that your going to try and lock yourself up, and try to figure out who did this if it's the case or go out and wreak terrible destruction on whoever did me in, but don't.

Robin, I know its not always your style, but don't go at this alone. The rest of the team is here for you, and you need to lean on them. You don't have to be the tough guy you want to appear to be. It's okay to be sad, and angry, just don't do it alone.

Robin shook his head. Since when did Beast Boy get so philosophical? He had thought this through without a doubt. Suddenly Beast Boy's face went serious.

Oh, and stop holding back how you feel about Star, okay? We all know you are so totally in love with her, and why you don't at least ask her out, we'll never know. Please lean on her, and don't be afraid to show her how you really feel.

(Shameless plug for my story First Date)

I suppose there isn't much more to say other than I know that as long as you lead the Teen Titans, they'll be safe. Don't look as this as losing me. Look at it as…well…I suppose look at it as a case outside of your control.

The text document with this disc is a will that I got written up with that lawyer that Wayne Industries sent over. Still don't know where we got that connection, but who am I to complain.

Well Robin, that's all. Be strong, and I love you like a brother man.

Beast Boy's grinning face disappeared as the screen blacked out and returned.

Robin stared at the screen mutely as he tried to absorb all of this new information. Though his eyes twitched, threatening to spill out the tears that he was holding in, his mouth couldn't help but ever so slightly turn into a small smile.

"Well Beast Boy, I just hope I can live up to what you always believed me to be. I promise, the others, I'll protect them. I'll see you in Heaven."

Well loyal readers, One left to go. Raven. I've been putting her off and now I'm going to do her. Wait… Well anyways, this is almost done. I just have one question. Should Beast Boy make a last appearance? Hmm…
