Thank you, people, for all who reviewed for this chapter. I really appreciate that you're spending precious time reviewing for my poor story. I'm trying to get more work done on my dad's computer, because my computer doesn't have the Internet. And, since my space is limited, I have to force my brain to work overtime, which doesn't help. Well, my blabbing isn't getting me anywhere, so I'll move on.

BB's POV
My head sat next to the clear bowl, trying to measure out the right amount of olive oil for the spell.
Squinting my eyes into tiny slits, I squeezed the bottle and forced a drop of the oil into the bowl, making the mixture swell into a blue liquid.
I smiled at my own handiwork, and turned to the set of instructions beside me. It called for something called Callisus, which I conveniently had in my hands. It was a bronze colored powder, and it shimmered in the dim moonlight. It was the last ingredient to add, and I was just about to add it when Nightwing burst into the room. "Beast Boy, come on! We're needed downtown! Adonis broke into another chemical plant!" I groaned. "Another one?" I asked. Nightwing nodded and ran back out the room, expecting me to follow. I carefully set the Callisus down on the table, getting up abruptly and running out of the room as well, not noticing that the ingredient was wobbling on the table like mad.
At the Chemical Plant
"RAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Adonis grabbed Starfire by the waist a threw her at the wall. Her body smacked the stone wall with a loud 'thud' and landed unconscious against the ground. Nightwing's temper exploded as he ran at Adonis with un-measurable speed, punching and kicking him with all his might, until Adonis knocked him to the ground as well. The man then looked to Cyborg and Beast Boy. "Say," he started. "Where's the feisty one? I was looking forward to fighting her." Beast Boy gritted his teeth together. "SHE'S NOT HERE AT THIS TIME, THANK YOU!" he screamed. Adonis smirked. "Awww, did I hit a weak spot? Maybe she ran away because she was so sick of you guys fighting all the time. Two years have passed…who knows? She could be married for all you know." "FOR YOUR INFORMATION, SHE IS MARRIED! AND I'M GONNA BRING HER HOME, GOD HELP ME!" Beast Boy bellowed, charging at Adonis. Morphing into various animals, the changeling plowed into the villain until he could fight no more (I suck at fight scenes). Adonis laid crumpled and weak in the corner of the plant, while Beast Boy stood unharmed before him. With a breath of victory, the changeling walked over to his fallen teammates and helped each of them up, and walked back to the tower.
Back at the Tower
"NOOOOOO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" Beast Boy screamed, clutching the hair on his head. In front of him, the Callisus powder lay strewn across the table; the glass bottle that contained it shattered. "HOW AM I GOING TO GET TO AZARATH NOW?" he shrieked, a tear falling from his eyes and landing in the formula. For some wacko reason, the mixture began to glow a really bright green, swelling up into the shape of an orb. The orb cleared, and showed Beast Boy the land of Azarath, barren with the shadow of a castle in the background. "YES!" screeched the shape shifter. "OH YEAH! WHO'S DA BOMB? I'M DA BOMB! YAYAH!"
As soon as that moment of triumph was over, the wind in the room began to pick up, which was odd because there were no windows there and the door wasn't open. All the same, the orb with the land of Azarath expanded until it was portal sized, the picture of the impotent lands shimmering like water across the ocean at sunrise. Beast Boy's eyes widened in surprise as he walked forward, the portal beckoning him to step through. And he did too…with no hesitation whatsoever. Falling face first, Beast Boy screamed as he soared through the portal. It seemed like a tunnel; the image was just showing him where he was headed. The tunnel twisted sideways, making Beast Boy spiral to the right, and just as he though this would go on forever, the tunnel stopped. "Phew, I thought I was in for torture for the rest of my life!" he said, wiping the back of his hands against his forehead. All of a sudden, the tunnel jerked forward again, hurtling the changeling ahead, and then spitting him out onto a desert of a land, like the whale spit Jonah out onto the land of Nineveh.
Shaking his head vigorously, Beast Boy stood up and looked around.
Azarath was so arid, so dry looking. All the trees had scraggly branches on them and practically no leaves, and the sky was dark and grey, much like Raven's skin. The thing that most looked like it could've seen better days was the old stone castle up ahead. It looked as if it would just crumble and break apart any minute. Suddenly, Beast Boy heard a noise. It was coming from the field in front of him, and he could see something moving through the trampled area. He heard a small breath and then a gasp, and a little girl stepped out of the field. She was very small, probably no more than two or three years old, and looked scared. She wore a purple velvet gown and a headdress in her hair, probably signaling that she was royalty. She had curved white hair that went down to her shoulders, and catlike violet eyes. Beast Boy gasped. He knew those eyes. They belonged to his best friend. "Um, Mister?" the little girl asked. "Are you okay? Wait…are you one of those kidnappers? Mama says there are a lot of them outside the castle walls." Beast Boy blinked and shook his head. The little girl cocked her head for a moment, and then her eyes turned black. BB didn't know what happened after that, because for the most part, he just sat there and stared at the girl, actually considering that Raven might have had a daughter. "What did you just do?" BB asked, and walked over to the girl. She looked up at him sweetly. "I read you mind to make sure you weren't a bad person. Don't worry, you're clean." The changeling raised his eyebrows and smiled, sitting down next to her. "I'm Angel! What's your name?" she asked, grinning adorably (Aww, I love when little kids do that). "Uh, my name's Garo…you live around here?"
Angel nodded.
"Uh huh. At the castle with Mama and Daddy and the court." Beast Boy smiled, and then thought of something. "Uh, is your mom's name by any chance Raven?" he asked. Angel nodded. "And my daddy's name is Malchior," she said. BB's jaw dropped. "Malchior?" he asked. Angel nodded. Getting over his initial shock, the shape shifter started asking questions again. "Sooo…why are you out here by yourself?" he asked.
Angel bowed her head. "Mama told me to go to my room because daddy was probably gonna hit her. I was listening to their conversation, and I heard my daddy slap mama, so I slipped out the window and now I'm here!" she said. Beast Boy bit back a shriek of rage. "Your dad…hits your mom?" he asked. Angel nodded. "Yeah, whenever he's drunk." "Does that happen often?" "Uh huh. Three times a week on average." 'I swear, I'm gonna kill Malchior once I get to that castle. How dare he do that to Raven!' BB thought. Suddenly, there was more rustling in the bushes, and a purple haired woman burst out and ran to Angel. "Angelina! Oh, don't you ever run off again! Oh, you had me so worried, and if your father finds out, we'll both get beat," she said, not even realizing that her old teammate was right behind her. 'Whoa…she's changed so much,' BB thought. It was true. Raven had a more…motherly look to her, which was kind of obvious because she had a daughter. "I'm okay, mama. My new friend helped me! His name's Gar
Raven picked up her daughter and froze. "Your friend…Gar?" Angel smiled and nodded. Raven turned her head towards the changeling. "Well, I didn't really expect to see you here," she said. Beast Boy shrugged. "Well, ya know, it took me a few tries, but I decided to pop over, despite the fact that I had to use illegal ingredients." Raven looked down. "Well, since you're here, why don't you come back to the castle with us. I'm sure Malchior would like to meet you."
Beast Boy nodded as Raven turned around, following her back to the castle.
Whoa, that was…kind of crappy on my part. Please tell me what you thought of it.
