Chapter Ten: Good-Byes (2)

The day after the death of Dic's parents, Beast Boy sulked to school. He now had no friends and was in a world of misery all on his own. Throughout the school day, Beast Boy felt nothing but depressed.

However, when he was getting ready to exit his classroom at the end of the day, Mrs. Farr called him.

"Beast Boy?"

Beast Boy walked to her desk.

"Beast Boy, there's someone I'd like you to meet."

Steve Dayton walked into the room and stood next to Mrs. Farr.

"Beast Boy, this is my boyfriend, Steve Dayton."

"How do you do," asked Beast Boy, shaking his hand. However, he did not feel a liking to this guy at all. And he knew Mento could see that.

Jerk, thought Beast Boy. He was very smart, and he knew he could tell what he was thinking as well as easily show what he was thinking with out saying it allowed. It didn't make him so great.

Idiot, Mento said to him with his mind.

Dummy.

Kid.

Pee-brain.

"I see you two are having a silent conversation," said Mrs. Farr uneasily. "Mr. Dayton is very smart, Beast Boy and knows a lot about minds."

Beast Boy glared at Dayton.

"Steve, Beast Boy is a very bright young man with a great sense of humor. And he absolutely loves to help people."

Beast Boy smirked at Dayton. Now it was his turn to be complimented.

"Beast Boy, Steve and I also love to help others, and we believe that with our abilities, we can do so easier. Wehave both decided to resign from our jobs and help the police to stop criminals."

Beast Boy remained calm, but inside he was very sad. First Dic, and now Mrs. Farr was leaving too? Mento saw this and silently told this to Mrs. Farr.

"Beast Boy," said Mrs. Farr. "We were hoping you could help us out."

"What the-"

"We have spoken with both the school and Victor Stone, both agree that you can come with us and help us to assist the public."

After a pause, she added, "So what do you say, Beast Boy?"

Beast Boy stood awestruck for a few minutes before he finally replied, "I'd love to."
