Chapter 5: Point of View

Raven was confused, but she could understand. If anything, her past hadn't been the best either, and she knew the sense of shame that could follow one's memory. Especially her life in Azarath. Being the daughter of evil was hard in the convents of Azarath. She wrinkled her nose at the thought and decided it was best if she could just meditate. Morning was still hours away.

Scorpio had ran to the West Bay in the fastest speed she thought possible. Anything to get away from Raven. Her powers were dangerous, and Scorpio was not quite ready to open up. She flopped down on her bed. It wasn't very comfortable, but it had picked up her scent (beds always have scents. It's second nature once you've been sleeping in it for a while). She smelled her pillow heavily and tried to relax. Her shoulders rested and she closed her eyes, only to be awakened by a knock on the open door.

"Um...Scorpio? Are you OK?" It was Beast Boy, figures. Scorpio was shocked that he had come into the room, especially since she was still in her pajamas and uncomfotably shy. She knew what he had saw. If it wasn't for him she could've kept her identity to herself.

She spun around and grabbed her white robe, pulling it over her shoulders before Beast Boy could protest. "Fine...really it was just a bad dream..."

"It didn't sound like a bad dream." He came in the room and sat on the night stand. "Anything you want to talk about?"

"No." Scorpio said coldly. She was tired of people bothering her so much. Her past was her business. "I really...I really don't. I just want to go to sleep."

Though Beast Boy could take a hint, he wasn't prepared to give up. "Are you sure? I've got time."

Scorpio sighed. "You're not going to leave, are you?"

Beast Boy smiled widly and shook his head. "Nope. I'm here to help."

Scorpio sighed heavily again and looked at her feet. "Let's just say that where I come from, that sign you saw isn't a good thing. It marks your blood...and it tells people who you are. It's not exactly the best thing to be in Saphiria."

Beast Boy wrinkled his nose. "What? Why? I thought the sign looked cool. And how can people tell?"

"They just can. It shows. And everyone knows each other, and your parents, and their parents. Your blood line is traced from the begining. There's no escaping who you are." Scorpio's stare grew hard and she looked back up to Beast Boy. "I remember, Beast Boy. My home is a horrible place. And I didn't want to remember, but I do..." She held back the tears...they always came. No matter what. Her heart was so weak, her tears were always ready.

"Don't worry about it Scorpio. You'll be fine. 'Sides you're safe now. Titans Tower is one of the safest places I know." He smiled broadly again, but Scorpio didn't turn to him.

"Thank you..." She wiped her eyes. "I really do need some sleep you know..."

"Right. No prob." And with that Beast Boy left the West Bay, closing the door behind him. Scorpio fell asleep almost instantly.

Instead of going straight to his room Beast Boy stopped by the kitchen. The dishes were piled high and the trash needed to be taken out, but in his opinion the dirt just made the room seem more homely. He could see Robin was still awake, on the red couch eating some sort of snack and staring at the moniters. The city was flashing and different maps were popping up and out.

"Hey Rob. Anything new?" Beast Boy asked casually. He grabbed some stale popcorn and flopped down next to the boy wonder.

"Nothing much, Beast Boy. Cyborg put up new camras around the city yesterday. I'm just checking the views I get from them."

The topic didn't interest Beast Boy but he nodded and stared at the moniters in false interest. "Anything new with you?" Robin asked him.

"Yeah...sorta. I'm just wondering about Scorpio. Something's wrong and she won't tell anyone." Beast Boy paused. "Not even Raven."

"That doesn't surprise me. I feel she's hiding something. I just don't know what it is." Robin stated plainly. He hadn't really been fond of the girl ever since she washed up on their shore, but he wouldn't kick a defenceless person out of the tower home.

"Not everyone is a spy, Robin." Beast Boy said with a mouth full of stale popcorn. "From what the book tells me, she was banished from her home. I feel bad for her. Raven told me that...that she wasn't bad, she was just...misunderstood. They hurt her, Robin, her and her family. If that doesn't tell you something I don't know what does."

"We can't do anything for her, Beast Boy. Even if she has a bad home, she does have one. It's our job to make sure she gets there safe and sound. As for the rest, it's not our business."

What Robin had said was not something Beast Boy wanted to hear. If it was up to him, Scorpio would stay with them. But Robin was the leader, and Robin would decide.

Beast Boy furrowed his eyebrows and sighed deeply. "You're too serious, dude. You know that? She doesn't want to go back, Robin. She doesn't even want to remember."

Robin didn't reply, and seeing that he was getting no where in the conversation, Beast Boy went to bed.

The next morning Scorpio woke up to the bright light streaming through the wall sized window. Should've closed those curtains, she thought quikly. She got up and stretched. She could feel her mark glowing and burning behind her. She rubbed it gently. It was still bruised and hurt from being in the water for so long. She sighed and got dressed quikly. Starfire and Raven had bought her some new clothes, only because their old ones were too long and big. She was only as tall as Beast Boy, and her shoulders were too delicate. She pulled on a pair of jeans and a white tank top and blue hoddie.

Suddenly a loud knocking echoed through the small room, and Scorpio pulled back in surprise.

It was Beast Boy. "Scorpio! Scorpio! Open up, we've got a surprise!"
