-BeastBoy-

She confessed her love to me

Then she vanished

On the breeze

Trying to hold on to that

Was just impossible

She was more than beautiful

Closer to ethereal

With a kind of

Down to earth flavor

Close my eyes

It's three in the afternoon

Then I realize

That she's really

Gone for good

Anybody seen my baby

Anybody seen her around

Love has gone

And made me blind

I've looked but I just can't find

She has gotten lost in the crowd

I was flippin' magazines

In that place on Mercer Street

When I thought I spotted her

I had come to expect the worst of my friends in those brief red moments of rage...I had called them all unforgivable names under my breath; knowing none of them would possibly live to hear them as I screamed it over their corpses. They had broken Terra...they had broken her! I had tears everywhere...streaking down my face and smearing the black kohl that had lined my eyes...yeah, yeah...I had worn it...so what. Is it a law that only Johnny freakin' Depp can? Anyway, I was on the verge of a severe mental break-down. I could already feel the fortress of my mind weakening with the knowledge that I had failed so horribly...so horrifically terribly. I could hardly see as I choked my way down the street; gasping for air by the time I reached the pier and began to shift into a pterodactyl...my wings spreading out; bearing me aloft.

I can't explain flying to you...the first time I tried it, it was amazing...like spinning up into clouds of silver whip cream and letting dew drops cover you as the wind whistles and whirls around you. Pulling you higher and higher until...yeah well let's just say flying is an amazing thing. I was flying towards the Tower at break-neck speed, my eyes narrowed and my beak open as a shrill scream of fury was torn from me. Disoriented I picked up speed and flew through a window...shifting instantly into my humanoid form. The yellow glass fell like a curtain of water behind me...shards of it tinkling against the ground and dancing in my glassy vision. Everything was fuzzy...like poofy cotten from a jacket...or maybe even cotton candy.

The glass barely had time to settle before I was changing again...feeling my limbs stretching and snapping into different positions...I could do it so fast that I barely felt the pain anymore...I could feel the muscles in my legs and back growing bigger, stronger...I was turning into one of those thingies on StarFire's home planet. Y'know..the big doggie things that freak just about everyone out? Anyway, I started smashing everything and screaming at the top of my lungs...which meant I was shaking the entire tower as I stampeded through it...so angry. Red everywhere and my so-called friends no where.

"COWARDS!!! FUCKING COWARDS, COME OUT AND FACE ME!!!"

CRASH!! BANG!! SCREECH! I was tearing it down...had to find them...they were here some where...I could smell them. Feel them...the rats. Hiding...hiding from me. Then I heard them..footsteps and the fearful voice of StarFire trying to calm me down. I couldn't see her...I only saw Robin and Cy...so small and insignificant...and yet they were the source of my rage. My eyes narrowed and before I knew what was happening I was human again...screaming at them as StarFire nervously called me over. Liars...liars...

I saw her. Wrapped up in the blankets. Cocooned in their warm comfort and safe from me and my madness. She turned to me and spoke but I couldn't speak I just stood there like an idiot in the doorway; my shoulders sagging with the exhaustion of being crazy/angry as it blew out of me in a deep sigh. Staring at her. I had to get 't see her properly...why was she so...so white? I took a tenative step closer...gulping for breath as Raven and StarFire brushed past me and hid outside the doorway; peeking in to probably make sure I didn't harm her. Terra.

"Terra?"

Terra

He looked so sad standing there...slumped over and so tired. He'd changed so much...were those scars I saw racing up and down his arms? What had he done to his hair? There were black smudges under his eyes...whether that was from the lack of sleep or perhaps from whatever he was wearing I don't know but...I struggled to sit up, wincing at the effort of keeping myself steady. Tears were beginning to flow again as he came closer...closer. I could see every fault line on his face...every drop of guilt glittering in his eyes. Where had he gotten that? Where was MY BB? What had happened to make him change so much?

He was staying a good three feet away from me...why was he standing so far away? My vision was blurry with salty tears again...God, I could hardly see a damn thing...I could feel my lips quivering as I whispered his name, "Beast Boy...please come here..." I was irritated by my appearance because I knew that, that was what was giving him pause. I was wrapped almost head to toe in white bandages...like a mummy from Egypt...hadn't been there quite yet. He was coming closer...his foot steps so heavy on the ground and his gaze averted from me a moment before it met mine and I saw...

His arms were around me before I could think and he was on the edge of the bed...holding me so gently. I could feel his tears sliding down my neck as his body shook...and I knew I was crying too. My arms gently wrapped around him as I whispered quiet words...meant to soothe. "Beast Boy...it's okay...I'm...I'm fine now. Please, don't cry...I know you did everything you could to help me but...I chose to stay asleep until I could face the world again. Please..." It was definately too late to tell him to stop crying because I made it worse...and my own tears wouldn't stop. They came in twin streams as my finger tips slid gently up and down...drawing circles on his back.

He shivered at my touch...but didn't pull away from me...so we stayed there for a long time. Clinging to each other; reunited once more in a beatific moment marred only by the sorrow that I had been gone for so long. I could feel the Titans' eyes on feel their stares but I didn't mind. After awhile StarFire shooed them off and the door slid closed as we sat there...our foreheads touching, staring into each other's eyes, trying to submerge ourselves in their depths; searching for a trace of the old us.

With a shaky breath he drew away...staring at me before words tumbled from his lips, "You up for some Tofu-tastic delights?"

I smiled, couldn't help it. Okay so he hadn't changed that much...he was making a stab at being his normal self again and I admired the effort.

"I missed you too."

Getting on a motor bike

Looking rather lady like

Didn't she just give me a wave?

Salty tears

It's three in the afternoon

Has she disappeared

Is she really gone for good

Anybody seen my baby

Anybody seen her around

If I just close my eyes

I reach out

And touch the prize

Anybody seen her around

Anybody seen my baby

Anybody seen her around

If I just close my eyes

I reach out

And touch the prize

Anybody seen her around

Lost, lost and never found

I must have called her

A thousand times

Sometimes I think

She's just my imagination

Lost in the crowd
