Chapter 1: Keeping the Beast

The Titans now sat in there living room, Raven levitating reading a book on Edgar Allen Poe, Starfire hovering reading over her shoulder, Robin listening to his MP3 player Star gave him for Christmas, and Cyborg was making breakfast.

As Starfire read the passages of the Raven she spoke," friend Raven why do they quote you never more,".

Raven was about to explain that this poem was not about herself but Cyborg interrupted," You know BB comes out today.

"How long has it been," Robin said.

"Bout two weeks," Cyborg replied.

Three weeks earlier Beastboy had changed into a raging primal beast. He fought Adonis and got chemicals on him. Adonis changed as well and they fought Beastboy won but thought he had hurt Raven so he had Cyborg build him a training facility of his own, it had taken a week to build, but Beastboy insisted that he learn to have more control.

"Do you think he's changed," Raven said.

"He went in there to change……. And if he hasn't than we can only hope," Cy said slightly frowning.

"Glorious," Star shouted," I shall begin making the lost and returned pudding.

Cyborg finally finished cooking breakfast, everyone was finally at the table ready to eat when the door opened, there stood Beastboy, physically he had changed a lot, he was taller, his green hair was darker than usual, and to top it off he was more built. But his expression was dull, no goofy smile, no bragging, just silence. Beastboy walked to the table and sat down.

"Hey BB," Cyborg said knowing how to get his friend ticked," want some bacon and ham with sausage.

"Yah sure why not," Beastboy said emotionless.

Everyone looked at Beastboy astonished, he just said yes to meat, Beastboy the vegetarian, Beastboy the one that had changed into those creatures said yes to meat.

H…here yah g…go," Cyborg said giving him his plate and watching him devour it.

"Why's everybody looking at me," Beastboy said

Starfire's eyes and hands grew green as she said," What have you done with friend Beastboy you are not him,".

"What are you talking about Star of course its me," Beastboy said his voice sounding hurt.

"No I refuse to believe such a glorfnacl like you is friend Beastboy I won't," Starfire said getting up and flying to her room crying.

"Great," Beastboy said," I haven't been here for five minutes and I've already hurt some one, I was better off when I was in training.

"Does anyone know what I did this time," Beastboy said depressed.

No one replied they just continued to stare at him.

"If you need me I'll be in my room," He said

"Hey BB want to play some game station," Cyborg asked excitedly.

"No I can't I have to apologize to Star…….. She looked really hurt," Beastboy said not changing the tone in his voice.

He walked out and the door made a whooshing sound behind him.

"Wow," said Cyborg," he said yes to meat……. Has the apocalypse happened yet?

"Why did Star run out like that," Raven asked.

"Since when did Beastboy give up a chance to play game station," Robin looked confused," to apologize for something that he didn't do or know what he did.

Beastboy walked up to Starfire's room he could here her weeping," Star," he yelled.

"Go away," Star said.

Beastboy used his access code and unlocked Starfire's door," I'm sorry Star but this is the way I need to be now, I don't want anyone else get hurt because I can't control what I am.

"Just go," Star said in a low sob.

"But Star," Beastboy protested.

"GO," Starfire yelled blasting Beastboy through the wall with a Star bolt.

The rest of the Titan's rushed in to see a huge hole in the wall, and Star's hand outstretched towards it. Beastboy staggered out of the hole with a bloody arm and his uniform in shreds. Slowly he began to change into the beast and change back to a human," Can't get angry, can't get angry, can't get angry, NO I WILL NOT LET YOU OUT, YOU ARE A BEAST AND I AM YOUR MASTER, but wait I'm the beast," he said before passing out.

"Hurry get him to the infirmary," Robin yelled as Cy picked him up and rushed off.
