I'm a crazy Canadian and some of my writing may reflect that. Don't be alarmed and run for the hills, I'm sure it won't hurt too badly.
I'd like to thank everyone for being so supportive with the direction I took the story. I was a little nervous that it may be a bit much but you guys have helped easy my mind. Thanks!

Chapter Fourteen
The attitude in the common room of the Titan's tower was very somber. It had been about twelve hours since Cyborg had removed the bullets from Beast Boy but his condition hadn't changed. It felt like such a different place now, completely devoid of any small happiness. Starfire had been crying for the better part of four hours before Robin had managed to calm her down and now the three Titans there were sitting at the table eating dinner; well, they weren't really eating it. They were all so concerned and shocked about the situation that they could do little more than stare at the food.
Raven hadn't left the medical bay since she had arrived with Beast Boy and she had fallen asleep at his bedside. She was exhausted and hadn't eaten anything all day.
Cyborg stood up and carried his completely untouched food to the door. She may have been worried, but she did need to eat.
"It's almost midnight guys… I'm going to go check on BB and Raven again before I recharge for the night." He said.
Robin simply nodded as Cyborg left. He turned to Starfire who looked on the brink of tears again and hugged her. It seemed to be just the thing to calm her because she smiled after they parted.
"Thank you Robin… I am just so saddened by what has occurred today." She said with a morose tone in voice.
"I know… I'm really not sure what to make of it all…" He replied. "I know Beast Boy would never do something like that but he did. It doesn't seem real."
"Will friend Beast Boy go to prison?" She asked with a slight quiver.
It took Robin a moment to respond, but he sighed when he did. "No… I don't know… I mean he did it to protect Raven right? He took it too far though, he didn't need to kill him! I'm not even sure it was Beast Boy who did it though… That thing was acting nothing like him."
"What did the police say they would do to him?"
"Nothing. I told them that it was necessary to kill him to protect Raven… I lied to the police to protect someone who committed a crime." Robin stood and could feel anger rising in him. "I did it twice! I told them that we didn't catch Jinx! Why did I do that? Beast Boy is someone I trust, Jinx is a criminal!"
Starfire gently took his hand and pulled him down to sit next to her.
"It is very confusing right now. Beast Boy did something very wrong but we must believe that he had reason to do it. Jinx may be a criminal, but she was helping Raven. After doing such a thing, I do not think she is a bad person." She hugged Robin again. "You should rest, it will be easier to think of these things in the morning."
"You're right Star." Said Robin as he got up. "I'll see you in the morning."
:-:-:-:-:
Beast Boy peered down the dark path that would lead him to his demon side. The band of emotions had led him to the edge of a dark and decrepit wood that seemed to reek of evil. The sky above was sunless; giving the impression that this was the last place anyone wanted to be. This is where Beast Boy had to venture if he were to speak with his demon side though, he really had no other choice.
He walked forward a few steps but stopped as he realized the emotions had not moved.
"Are you coming or what?"
"This is somewhere we cannot venture." Knowledge said. "We only anger him, it's best that you speak to him alone."
"Perfect, just perfect." Beast Boy muttered.
"He knows our current condition but hasn't started healing us. If you talk to him, I'm sure you'll be able to get some sense in him." Said Wisdom.
"Fine." Said Beast Boy as he began to walk again. "Lets just get this over with."
After walking for a short time, he looked over his shoulder to find the path behind him was completely dark. It was a though the entrance had never existed at all. He turned back ahead though and continued on down the path. He was fairly sure this little conversation would be something he wasn't going to like, but he wanted to see Raven again. He needed to see Raven again. He didn't want to think about the worry and stress she was going through right now.
'Is this damn path ever going to end?' He thought in exasperation.
A few more minutes passed by and a small clearing came into view. Beast Boy was relieved that his long walk through the bleak and dingy forest was almost at an end. As he reached the edge of the clearing, he could make out the silhouette of a lone figure through the gloom. It was standing in the middle of the small gap in the trees and made no move to approach him.
Beast Boy moved forward until the lone figure came into view completely. He was very tall and it seemed as though his shadow melded in with those around him and the ground. The shadow was so dark that it made the dreary surroundings almost look light in comparison. It almost seemed solid in its darkness and it enveloped the demon version of himself all the way up to his shoulders. He was a fair bit taller than Beast Boy as well, looking to be a good eight feet in all.
The figures head suddenly snapped up to reveal two blood red eyes that cast of an eerie light.
"Why have you come here?" He asked coldly.
Beast Boy did his best to not flinch at the sound of the demon's voice. It sounded unmistakably like his, but it had been twisted into something that just wasn't right.
"I've come to speak to you about what happened today…" He replied, almost at a loss for words.
"What about it?"
"Well first of all, I killed someone. I used you, my demon side, to kill him." Said Beast Boy, not a hint of emotion in voice.
The demon side smiled evilly. "Yes, it was pleasant wasn't it? You never thought you could do something like that but it had been in you all along. Does that scare you? Does it make you want to kill again?"
The pale Titan looked this evil part of himself square in the eyes. "Yes, I had thought that I could do something like that. I'm disgusted with myself for doing it and I'm not entirely sure why I did it. I've come to you to discuss it though."
"Answer first. Does it scare you? Do you want to kill again?"
"The fact that it had been in me all along? No. It doesn't scare me." He said, not removing his eyes for those of his counterpart. "I did it to protect Raven, the thing that scares me is the fact that I know I'd do it again in a heartbeat."
The demon before him looked shocked. It was as if this was something he'd never expected Beast Boy to say.
Beast Boy took a few steps toward his demon side. "Why did I enjoy it though? Why did I enjoy ending a human life?"
The wicked smile curved even more making it a truly terrible sight to behold. "Have you considered the possibility that you just enjoy causing pain and bringing death?"
Beast Boy was upon him in a fraction of a second and grabbed the front of the dark demon before him. He thrust his hand into the darkness and found the clothing beneath. He then twisted and slammed him to the ground below.
"I AM DISGUSTED BY IT! I NEVER WANT TO DO IT AGAIN!" He yelled. "I would never have enjoyed that before the switch took place! What have you done to my mind? What have you done to me to make me feel this way?"
:-:-:-:-:
"Have you considered the possibility that you just enjoy causing pain and bringing death?" He taunted.
Before he could even think to react, he was knocked to the ground and Beast Boy was on top of him.
"I AM DISGUSTED BY IT! I NEVER WANT TO DO IT AGAIN! I would never have enjoyed that before the switch took place! What have you done to my mind? What have you done to me to make me feel this way?"
The dark representation of Beast Boy wanted to shoot some sort of taunt that would anger him further, but he found himself speechless. What could he say? He decided that revealing the truth would probably be the best thing to do.
"I've done nothing to your mind." He averted his gaze in defeat. "This is what you are now, a half demon. It's something that is in your nature. Demons kill, cause pain and suffering, and we enjoy it. We became so furious when that pathetic human was going to kill our Raven that we were pushed over the edge. We know that we're not allowed to kill, but we had to, to protect her."
Beast Boy smashed the demon against the ground again. "I didn't have to! She would have been safe if I'd just taken Light away from her!"
"Do you really think she would be safe? He'd gone insane. All he'd suffer would be a few years in a mental institution and then he'd be back. Back to kill Raven when we couldn't protect her."
Beast Boy stared in shock and slowly got up off of his demonic side.
"That still doesn't explain why I killed him. I hadn't known that when I ended his life…"
"Of course you did. I am a part of you, I can't tell you anything you don't already know." He explained.
Beast Boy bowed his head. It seemed he was processing the information, still unsure if he should believe it.
"Fine, maybe that is true." He sighed. "So why haven't you started healing us yet?"
"I… I haven't because I was unsure before…"
"Unsure of what?" Beast Boy breathed.
"Because I am part of you, I too love Raven. Demon or not, I do love. I was unsure if we deserved her love. I wouldn't hesitate to kill for her, I thought you would be afraid to. Hesitating to do whatever it takes to keep her safe may result in her harm." He explained. "I can see now that you would kill to protect her without hesitating."
Beast Boy blinked but nodded solemnly.
"Our body is now in a state of trance. We should be healed by morning."
"Thank you." Said the pale Titan as he began to walk away. "Oh, I know you said you love Raven but if you do anything to hurt her, I don't care what happens to me but I swear I'll kill you myself."
:-:-:-:-:
Raven was awoken by a gently shaking. She mumbled something and groaned but kept her eyes shut. She wasn't sure what time it was but she knew she was sore. As she opened her eyes, she became aware that she was still leaning on Beast Boy's medical bed and Cyborg was the source of her waking.
"Hey." He gently said. "I brought you some dinner."'
Raven gratefully accepted the food and looked around the dimly lit medical bay. "Thanks. What time is it?"
Cyborg checked his arm. "12:15AM, you've been asleep for a few hours now."
"What's his condition now?"
"I was just about to check." He said, tapping a few buttons on a screen close to the bed. "Everything looks normal, his condition is the same as before."
"So he's not doing any better?" Raven asked.
"No, but the important thing is that he's not doing any worse. Just hang tight, BB will pull through this. He's a tough little guy and I know he won't let this beat him." He said.
"Yea." Said the green Titan sadly as she bowed her head. "I just wish he'd start hea-"
Raven stopped talking as Beast Boy's unconscious body rose up several inches from the bed. Relief washed over her like a tidal wave. Beast Boy was going to live.
"So, what does that mean?" Asked the metallic Titan.
"It means he's healing himself." Raven smiled. "He's going to be fine."
The look of confusion left Cyborg's face as Raven explained and a thoroughly happy one replaced it. He hugged Raven tightly and smiled more warmly than before.
"I'm just going to check up on Jinx, then I'll go tell the others the good news."
After hitting a few buttons on the panel near Jinx's bed, Cyborg happily strolled out of the medical bay.
Raven looked down at Beast Boy again. His shirt had been cut off along with one of his pant legs for Cyborg to operate and a great deal of his pale skin was covered in blood-soaked bandages. Most of the right side of his body was caked with dried blood since he'd fallen on that side and it had pooled against him. His bluish purple hair was a mess and the dried blood that mixed with it gave it a crusty and almost brittle appearance.
She finished her meal and stretched a bit. It didn't matter how bad Beast Boy looked now, he would be almost completely healed in the morning. Raven gently brushed his cheek. Her mind had been greatly eased about one problem, after laying on the side of his bed from her chair, she decided it would be best to go back to sleep and deal with the other problem in the morning.
:-:-:-:-:
Jinx awoke to the sounds of feet scraping against the floor. She opened her eyes to find herself still in the Titan's medical bay. It was brightly lit from the morning sun and Cyborg seemed to be hovering around the bed next to hers.
'Checking up on Beast Boy I guess.' She thought.
She propped herself up but the movement in her arms brought a sudden pain to her shoulder and she let out a moan. Cyborg turned around, acknowledging that she was awake. He walked to one of the cabinets and got a bottle of what sounded like pills and a glass. After filling the glass at the sink, he returned to Jinx's bedside and offered her two pills and the water.
"Just a couple of pain killers." Cyborg said, after seeing the way Jinx was eyeing the pills he held out.
She shrugged her shoulders and cringed at the folly of her action. With her good arm, she grabbed the pills and popped them in her mouth, quickly chasing them down with a large gulp of water.
"Thanks." She sighed.
"No problem." He smiled. "Do you think you're good enough to take a walk around?"
"I guess I am, I'm pretty hungry."
"Just a second, I'll make you a sling." Said Cyborg, folding a triangular bandage.
He tenderly moved her arm into the cloth sling he had fashioned and began to tie the two ends behind her neck. It was surprisingly comfortable as compared to how it had felt moments before.
"So… How's Beast Boy doing?" She asked, a little uncertainty in her voice.
Cyborg smiled broadly. "He's doing fine. Almost completely healed now."
"How's he almost completely healed?" She asked incredulously. "He was supposed to be 'shot up badly' just yesterday!"
Cyborg's smile hadn't wavered and he explained. "He's got healing powers. If he gets injured badly enough, they kick in and heal him."
"I've been meaning to ask you, since when did he have healing powers? I thought he was the green one who did the animal thing." She said, looking back over at Raven and Beast Boy.
"He was but there was a change a few days ago. We were trying to take care of Mumbo when he pulled some powers sucking trick. I stopped him before he got their powers and then this happened." He gestured to the other two Titans.
"Uh huh." She said as she slid out of the small bed. "So what kind of food do you guys have around here?"
:-:-:-:-:
Robin fried a large pan full of hash browns while Starfire made herself a packet of instant oatmeal. Robin couldn't help but smile at the fact that she had begun to drift away from her usual 'unique' dishes for the more conventional. She had been right, a nights sleep had relaxed him a great deal. He was still aware that there were serious issues to address, but with Beast Boy's improving health and the generally lightened mood in the tower, they seemed to be miles away.
"It is such a great relief that our friend will be in good health again soon." Starfire said.
"Yea." Robin agreed. "It'll be good to see him walking around."
She murmured her agreement but the smile slowly faded from her face. "What is to happen with Adversary Jinx? Is she still one of the 'bad guys'?"
The masked Titan thought for a moment.
"I'm not really sure anymore Star. I guess we're going to have to leave it up to-" He stopped himself as the double doors hissed open to reveal Cyborg and Jinx.
"Mornin' guys." Cyborg greeted. "What's for breakfast?"
"Well, I've got some hash browns going. I doubt there will be enough for all of us though." Said Robin.
"No waffles? What's wrong with you guys?" Cyborg said in mock offence as he hurriedly began to prepare a batch of waffle batter.
"So that waffle obsession you had at the H.I.V.E. academe wasn't just an act." Said Jinx with a slightly amused look on her face.
"Friend Cyborg is very fond of his waffles." Starfire explained. "Would you like to partake in the eating of breakfast with us?"
"Uh… Sure. Is it alright if I have some of those waffles?" She asked as she sat at the table.
"Coming right up!" Said Cyborg.
He'd now donned an apron and a chef's hat that had been hanging next to the stove and was busying himself with the waffle iron.
"So Jinx…" Robin began. "Thank you for what you did yesterday."
Jinx simply nodded in reply.
"We're in a bit of an interesting situation now… Because you risked your life for Raven, I informed the authorities that we were unable to apprehend you. Seeing as you were committing a crime, I committed a crime in lying to the police…" Robin thought for a moment. "I might as well get right to it then, where do you stand now?"
"Where do I stand? What do you mean?"
"Well, I honestly hadn't expected anyone from the H.I.V.E. to risk their lives for one of my team. Do you think you're going to go back to them to continue a life of crime?" He asked.
"What other options do I have?"
Robin looked from Starfire to Cyborg who were both paying intent attention to the conversation and back to Jinx. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"Seeing as you did what you did… Well, I guess I'm asking if you'd consider joining the Titans."
The room fell silent save for the sizzling sound coming from the waffle iron. Jinx stared around at the three Titans and they all returned her intense gaze.
"Well…" Everyone held their breath in anticipation. "I guess I could see how it works out."
Starfire jumped up happily and shot over to hug Jinx but stopped about a foot away when she saw her arm in the sling.
"It will be quite joyous to make your acquaintance new Teammate Jinx!"
"Yea, this should be interesting." She said.
"When do you think Raven and Beast Boy will be up?" Robin asked.
"B was doing pretty well. He should be in perfect health in a couple hours. Raven's still snoozing, probably will be until noon." Chuckled Cyborg.
Robin's face became neutral and his eyes fell.
'I'm going to have to talk to Beast Boy about what happened pretty soon…' He thought.
Starfire must have seen the look on his face because she hovered over to him and gave him a hug. Robin was aware that both Jinx and Cyborg were looking at them and he couldn't help but blush.
"Am I correct in assuming you are distressed about the upcoming conversation with Friend Beast Boy?"
:-:-:-:-:
Starfire hugged Robin tenderly and his face turned beet red.
"Am I correct in assuming you are distressed about the upcoming conversation with Friend Beast Boy?" Starfire asked as she still held on to Robin.
Robin mumbled something that Jinx couldn't hear.
"Since when did this happen?" Jinx quietly asked Cyborg. "And what does he have to talk to Beast Boy about?"
"Them? They got together a couple days ago. Took 'em long enough too." He replied in an equally quiet tone. "Something happened with Dr. Light…"
Cyborg was apprehensive about finishing but Jinx prompted him to continue.
"What happened?"
"He… That demon thing… He killed him." He said. "I didn't see it because I was bringing you back to the tower, but Rob said that whatever Beast Boy was killed him."
"Was he protecting Raven?" She asked.
"That's what I thought but-" Robin cut Cyborg's hushed reply off.
"No." He plainly said.
His face lost the sure look it had a moment ago and he spoke again. "I don't know… I mean, he killed him after Raven was out of danger, but Dr. Light was still trying to kill her… I don't know what's going to happen now, but I need to talk it over with Beast Boy."
Cyborg set a plate with waffles on it down in front of Jinx and he sat down with a large stack of his own. Starfire sat down in front of her half-eaten bowl of oatmeal and Robin dished himself some hash browns.
"I… I see…" Jinx said.
An uncomfortable silence fell on the four of them as they did their best to eat their breakfasts of choice.
Yea, I know it was a crappy end to the chapter but that was just the way it turned out. Why does Robin have to be such a downer? I hope the fluctuating tone of the story was believable. At first Beast Boy was pretty depressed and angry about what he had done, but after talking to his demon side, became a little relieved. The other Titans also became happier as Beast Boy's life was no longer in danger. Robin had to bring the mood back down though…
With this whole review thing happening, I implore any authors here at to go to this site http/ bbwithrae. proboards55. com/ index.cgi and sign the petition about responding to reviews. It should be in "all topics in general" under the Emergency at FF .net thread (You don't have to join or anything, just leave you penname and corresponding e-mail address). I think we have about seventy something people so far, but our target is two hundred… We need your help!
So what did you guys think of the conversation with his demon side? And how about the way I incorporated Jinx in? I know it seems like they're accepting her pretty quickly and I'm not all that happy with it but she did help Raven right?
The whole thing about Dr. Light just going to an insane asylum was another Canadianism. Far too often I see people get out of serving time they know they deserve by pleading temporary insanity or something similar. The way I see it, if you can get into a state of mind where you commit a crime, you should still suffer the consequences of your actions. The fact that you did whatever you did still remains and it saddens me that people would rather tie up the court systems to get out of the punishment they rightly deserve. (Again, that's just an opinion of mine, it was not intended to challenge anyone else's opinions.) Does this also happen in the US?
This chapter took four cans of Coke. I knew what I wanted to write, but I haven't had any desire to write all week whatsoever. If any other authors should run into this problem, I suggest that you just start writing. I did and it eventually got the creative juices going again. It doesn't really matter what you write, you can always go back and fix what you started with if you want.
Reviews!
Verya: Thank you very much!
Wolffike: Yep! Jinx will become a good guy. I guess we'll have to see how she gets along with the others. Beast Boy hasn't died yet! And when I say yet, I mean he won't… Or will he? I'm cruel to write something like that. Thanks for reviewing!
Visigoth29527: I don't want to get into any kind of disagreement but I do agree with a lot of what you said. I don't know if I share such strong views about the punishment of criminals by death, but I agree that protecting someone by whatever means necessary should never be something you fear repercussions for. As someone who intends to pursue a career in law enforcement, I like to think I have a fairly decent understanding of right and wrong; if someone wants to commit a crime, I can't help but think they know that they're doing wrong. This knowledge should be enough to stop them from committing the crime, and even if it didn't, should be enough for them to take whatever punishment the courts deem appropriate. It's unfortunate that this very rarely holds true. Now that that seriousness is over, thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. I think I'll tally up all the coke from every chapter and give a total at the end… It should be a frighteningly large and unhealthy number… Thanks for reviewing.
Regrem Erutaerc: Thank you very much. I was unsure of how to really work Jinx's attitude in the beginning, but I've kind of settled with her being pretty freaked out by the psycho Dr. Light and the near death deal. Thanks for reviewing.
McDowellandkid: He hasn't so far!
CalliopeMused: No problem. I didn't really want to make a giant deal of that when the intended focus was on Beast Boy's reaction. I know he was pretty overkill but I hope this chapter helped explain that. I'm glad that the warning didn't scare you off, I know it was pretty heavy but I do want people to know where I'm coming from. Thanks for sticking with me and thanks for your review!
Green Tears: Thank you. Yep, Beast Boy is sure going to have to deal with a couple of things in the next few chapters. Thanks for reviewing!
Ye Olde Scooter Dude: Thank you very much and thanks for reviewing!
SpazztheSlob: Thank you. Sorry for killing of dear Dr. Light, but I had to. Thanks for joining the site! Have you seen the petition yet? We need all the authors we can get! Thanks for reviewing.
Titanwolf: Thanks. Hurra for the fluff!
BlackRoses4Raven: It looks like he's safe for now. Thanks for reviewing.
Pyro-koneko: Thank you very much and thanks for reviewing!
darkdemon3592: Oh I dare! Thanks for reviewing.
Tammy Tamborine: Thank you very much for your kind review!
Bogbrush: Yep, I was kind enough to not force him to experience the darkness again. Thanks for reviewing.
Drow Judicator: Thank you very much. I'm glad you see the point I'm trying to get across. Thanks for reviewing!
The Halfa Wannabe: Thanks. Yea, sometimes it's tough for even me to remember that their appearances have changed. Thanks for reviewing.
lol61188: Thank you!
Overactive Mind: I'm glad people are still sticking with me! I hope you liked this chapter. Thanks for reviewing.
Lady Pyrefly: Thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. Thanks for reviewing.
Snea: Yep, that dreaded gray area. I wish life could be as simple as black and white but it rarely is. I'd be very interested to read some of your stories, could you please inform me when they're up? Hope the thunderstorm didn't mess anything up. Thanks for reviewing!
Chaos-Paladin: Thank you for reviewing and sticking with me! Poor Dr. Light…
PhoenixClaw: Thank you very much. I hope Jinx didn't seem too far-fetched in this chapter… I can't honestly say I'm really happy with the way I wrote her in, but I'll try to improve that in future chapters. Thanks for your kind review!
acosta pèrez josè ramiro: Thanks. As an added moral dilemma, I've kind of made it so that Beast Boy and Jinx have both got off the hook. That's not to say that conscience would play an important part in the future, but the don't have to worry about the police. I did try to address killing in the most fair and mature way possible and I'm glad people understand that. Thanks for reviewing.
Raven The Black Rose: Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it so far. Thanks for reviewing.
Pink-raven-rules: Thank you very much!
Joey: Thank you very much!
doc-trigger: Thank you very much. Yep, Robin's sense of right and wrong is very precious to him. Hurra! Cyborg has a 'friend' too! It looks like Beast Boy is ok for now… I wouldn't kill him off though… Or would I? No, no I wouldn't. How would I write a sequel without him? Thanks for reviewing!
darktank: Thanks. Beast Boy will have to try and deal with himself since he killed Dr. Light as well as Trigon and his evil plans. Poor little guy. Thanks for reviewing.
Jedi Master Kyre AKA JMK for now: Thanks. I'm not sure… I think he was in the beginning of Prophecy… He was also in the beginning of Nevermore. Thanks for reviewing.
Silver child of the winds: I like to be different. Beast Boy will have to deal with all he feels about killing Dr. Light now. Thanks for reviewing.
Astrid-fusion: Thank you very much. I can't help but smile when I get a review like this. Thanks for your kind review!
superdave: Thanks. Sort of… Rage kind of let the demon out and Beast Boy changed on the outside, he was influenced a little by the demon side but not into a mindless fury. He did snap Light's neck after Jinx was shot (and the gun was no longer at Raven's head). It's not Trigon because Trigon is in Rage right now. This is more like a representation of his demon blood similar to the representations of his emotions. I hope this chapter gave you a better idea of his appearance. Thanks for reviewing.
Yume no Zencho: Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for giving this story a chance and reviewing!
Still trying to fly: Thanks. Gotta love the fluff!
king of waffles: Thanks. Yep, I surely did mean for the CyxJinxness. Thanks for reviewing!
SxStrngSamurai13: Sorry about the sudden change. I think the chapter was a little lighter but still managed to deal with what was going on in a realistic way (I hope it did anyway). Robin just seems like the kind of guy who doesn't like to make compromises in his judgment; it just seemed like the way he'd deal with it. I'll do the best I can with the way Beast Boy interacts with the rest of the Titans after he wakes up. Thanks for reviewing!
Phantom Moon: Thank you very much. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
AnimationWickedRaven: Thanks!
Glean-tastic: Thank you very much!
iamhollywood: Thanks. I hope this chapter dealt with it in a realistic way. Thanks for reviewing.
WickedWitchoftheSE: It is true, I don't want Beast Boy to be punished either but he did wrong. His friends (such as Robin) are protecting him for punishment but he still has to deal with his own conscience. I'm glad you picked up on the little situation Jinx and Beast Boy seem to be in, they're almost completely opposite, but still have very similar problems. I'm sorry to say I don't know anything about Scott Peterson or Ted Bundy but I do see what you're getting at. It easy to sit back and dictate what's right and wrong, but when you are thrust into a situation where you can understand both side of the issue, it suddenly becomes a lot more difficult to simple say it's right or wrong. I am trying to show that with Robin because I felt very similar to the way the cartoon portrays him; everything was black and white to me, right and wrong. My sense of right and wrong stayed that way until I began high school, where I had to deal with many social and academic gray areas on a daily basis. A reality check can be though at times, but I feel I'm better for it. Thanks for your amazingly detailed review!
teenyugiohpotterphantom: Hurra for the lack of sleep! Insomniacs unite! Ok I done… Yep there will be a CyxJinx relationship in the future! That's the problem with Robin, he's not really sure what's right and wrong anymore. It sort of was right, but it was also wrong. Thanks for reviewing!
Satu Simpson: Thank you very much. I'm glad so many people decided to stick with me on this one. Yea, poor Dr. Wacko did get a pretty scary death, but… Well, I really don't know what else to say about that. Beast Boy killed him in a pretty nasty fashion. I hope I can redeem him in the eyes of the readers. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much for your kind review.
warprince2000: Thanks!
IGAF-kun: Thanks!
Huupa: Thanks for all your reviews! Everyone know that Beast Boy is a hero deep down right? Raven does love Beast Boy and all his different emotions (even Rage) but Rage wanted Raven to love him alone. He sees Beast Boy as weak and therefore undeserving of Raven's love. I have tried Pepsi but don't really like it, I find it far too sweet. Seeing as my father is an employee of Coca Cola, I guess my views on pop are a little biased. Yep, 180 as in upside down, like his body was lying on his back where as his face was on the ground. Thanks for your reviews!
Thanks for taking the time to read my story.
P.S. The reviews took me about an hour longer than they should have… Remember to save regularly!
