My favorite guy character from Teen Titans is, without a doubt, Beastboy (I like the funny ones) so I decided to write a story involving him and another character I created. Enjoy!
(PS: some things came from another story I've written (Boom Boom) If you haven't read it you might get more than a little confused; so don't read this until you've read Boom Boom!)
Teen Titans The Changeling's Dilemma Chapter 1
Beastboy stood alone in a field of beautiful wildflowers. The dream felt so real he thought he could smell them. Almost like…spring he thought.
"My dear… child…" a voice said from behind him. He turned around and faced a beautiful woman with warm purple eyes and long flowing blonde hair. She wore a long, violet dress trimmed with dark purple and that had detached sleeves that hung low from the slits on the top of them. "Return to me… come home… come…home." She started to fade away, and her voice became faint.
"Wait, return where?" BB shouted as she disappeared. "Who are you?" Suddenly, the land was no longer a paradise. It changed quickly, becoming a black wasteland in a matter of seconds. Not understanding at all, Beastboy walked through the dark desert, feeling something leaving him with every step he took. What is this place? Why do I feel so strange?
Suddenly, he fell to his knees, his body racked with pain. He heard the woman's voice again, this time it rang with sorrow. "I'm sorry, my child. It must be done. I'm sorry…" He fell onto his back returning to consciousness just as he heard his door close in Titan's Tower. A few seconds later, it opened again, and then he heard Raven's voice.
"Beastboy, what's wrong? You were screaming," the look on Raven's face was surprising; she was genuinely concerned.
BB shook his head. "I'm fine… There's someone in the Tower. Go get Robin."
Raven looked confused. "I didn't see anyone when I came here. Are you-" She stopped, and covered her mouth. "Beastboy…your…your skin."
"What? What about it? WHA-!" BB looked at his arm, which was no longer green, but a normal peach color. He tried to get out of bed, but every thing he moved burned with pain, causing him to cry out. "What's going on!"
His shouts brought the other three Titans to his door. He told Robin about what he heard, but Cyborg said his security system couldn't be beat, but to be certain, Cy, Star, and the Boy Wonder went to search the tower while Raven stayed with BB. He didn't want to be alone after what he'd been through. While they waited Raven asked him if he could change into an animal. He tried, but…"I don't believe this!" he shouted exasperatedly. "How could this happen! Man, you gotta be kidding me! I'm blonde, fleshy and I can't change! AUGH!" He collapsed on his bed and threw his arms above his head.
"Calm down, Beastboy. Shouting isn't going to solve anything." Raven almost felt guilty. Ever since she had understood the significance of her powers, she had only wanted to be rid of them. But Beastboy lived for his powers. It's not fair, she thoughtgrowing angry at fate, and simultaneously blowing up a light bulb.
"Dude, are you okay Raven? Um, I'll calm down, okay?" BB had been loudly complaining about his situation when Raven went off into her own thoughts, so he had assumed that was what had ticked her off.
"Uh, yeah. Thanks. So, did anything weird happen yesterday?" She decided not to mention her envy right now. First she had to help her friend.
"Well, let's see." He went over the past day, from eating Tofu Flakes for breakfast, to video games with Cyborg and Robin, to accidentally spilling all of Raven's favorite herbal tea leaves into the sink-
"Wait, that was you?" Raven interrupted. He had let Starfire take the heat.
"Uh, y-yeah, sorry," he apologized, wilting under Raven's glare. "I'll buy you some more, I promise." This seemed to calm her down, and she nodded for him to continue. "I can't really think of any thing really out of the ordinary that happened, besides the weird dream I had."
This sparked Raven's interest. "What kind of dream?"
Beastboy was about to tell her, when the others returned. "Well, we didn't see anything," Cyborg stated.
"I saw a large rat, and it was most creepy!" Starfire had obviously been frightened by the rodent. "It had a most unusual color of fur."
"What color was it?" BB asked her.
"It seemed to be purple, but it must have been the color gray, correct?"
The Titans dismissed the whole thing, agreeing that Star must have been mistaken. BB then described the dream that he had had, which didn't really clear any thing up at all. Everyone was stumped. They decided that they should get some sleep and start searching for answers in the morning. Beastboy hoped that this was just some kind of nightmare, and that when he woke up again, he would be green again, and that everything would be back to normal. But, remembering the pain, deep down, he knew that this was no dream.
