Funny Things Can Happen
Chapter 30
A Tragedy
It was late afternoon at the tower and everyone was still tired. It had been a long week, and this Saturday, they just wanted to stay in. As Raven poured some tea the alarm went off, and they all headed to the garage.
The new Hive five where attacking with the help of center block. They had started by robing a bank, but where no holding hostages until the teen titans showed up. What the titans didn't know is that they had been planning this attack for some time.
"Help, someone help!" yelled one of the hostages.
Robin knocked out Gizmo and quickly grabbed the hostage. She lowered her hood and smiled as she blasted him in the wall. Shimmer stood before him, pulling off a cloak. The rest of the hive five and Cinderblock stood before them.
"Who the hell?. . ." trailed off Robin.
"This is our new team mate, Shimmer." said Mammoth with a smile.
"Poser." muttered Jinx, as her and Starfire helped Robin up.
"Now!" yelled Gizmo.
A small little creature came running towards Raven, but Beast moved her out of the way. It dived at him, but instead of hitting him, it disappeared into his head and vanished. Beast Boy fell to the ground breathing heavy and his eyes wide. Raven and the others ran to him at once. His breathing slowed and his pulse stopped racing. His eyes turned completely white and he was calm. Cyborg felt for a pulse; it was still there, but faint.
"Where did the hive go?" asked Jinx as she helped Beast Boy onto Cyborg's shoulder.
"We'll deal with them later, right now we have other problems." said Robin.
BACK AT THE TOWER
"What's wrong with friend Beast Boy, and what was that creature?" asked Starfire.
"What ever that thing was or is, its effected his brain waves. He's in a comatose state, and I don't know how long it will last." said Cyborg, in a worried tone.
"Is the thing gone or not?" asked Robin.
"I think its lodged itself in his brain and their is no way of getting it out without killing Beast boy or causing him severe brain damage. The only thing we can do is keep him on life support and hope that thing goes away." said Cyborg.
"So what its like a living tumor or something?" asked Jinx as she looked in by Beast Boy and Raven.
"Exactly,." said Cyborg.
"Who's going to tell friend Raven?" asked Starfire, fighting back tears.
"Actually Star . . . . . . I will." said Cyborg, after seeing Starfire's eyes go wide when he was about to suggested her.
"No, I will." said Robin.
"So there's nothing we can do, at all? I mean isn't there something small we can do?" asked Jinx hurriedly.
"No." said Cyborg in a state of shock.
Robin walked into the room by Raven and Beast Boy. She hadn't wanted to hear Cyborg, she just wanted to stay by Beast Boy. She sat there stroking his hand calmly. She had heard everything they had said in the other room. Her mind was in shock from all the information about Beast Boy's condition.
"Raven. . . ." he was cut off.
"I heard, can you just. . . . let me be hear alone with him?" she asked, not looking up.
". . . Yeah, okay. said Robin walking out, he looked back as he was about to close the door, to see Raven, leaning on Beast Boy's shoulder, as her body shook.
A vase upstairs broke as Titania sat playing with a doll. She watched as the window cracked and ignored it as it burst. Her shield protected her. She knew something was wrong with Beast Boy, but she didn't know what. While whey where gone, she had taught herself how to say Raven and she knew something was very wrong when Raven didn't respond to this. Starfire came up in the elevator with Jinx next to her. Titania ran up to her and tugged on her skirt and worriedly pointed to the elevator.
"Beast Boy?" she asked in a frustrated voice.
"He's been hurt." said Jinx as Starfire burst into tears.
". . . Raven?" she asked as well.
"She's with him right now." said Jinx as Titania, climbed on her lap.
Titania could feel pain in the air, but not just Beast Boy, but from everyone, but mostly Raven. Titania began to cry, but so quietly that Jinx didn't know she was until she felt her dress getting wet where Titania's face was.
DOWN IN THE MED LAB
Raven whipped her tears, knowing that she had probably done damage somewhere upstairs. She watched the monitor as it beeped. She stroked his forehead and kissed him. She leaned her head against his chest. She didn't notice her hands glowing over his forehead, as well as his getting a pained look across it.
Inside his head, the creature went to the part of his brain known as the memory. A small tentacle went out and touched it, letting the creature gain his memories and past, but also doing something unknown. Letting Beast Boy relive everything in slow motion, even memories, long suppressed in the past.

Sorry so short everyone, I have to go do something and I wanted this on, besides next chapter will be longer and better. I also have to do some work for journalism class. Sorry I'm not allowed to answer reviews anymore, but don't stop, its what keeps me writing.
