Beast Boy

Ugh...

Where am I?

What happened?

It's dark.

I try to sit up. It turns out to be a mistake.

This time, I can't help but scream. My body feels like it's ripping itself apart.

"You're awake."

I don't know who it is. I can't see anything in the darkness.

"Where am I?"

The words out slowly, between gasping for breath.

"Why am I tied down? Who are you?"

I can't keep the fear from my voice.

"Calm down, Beast Boy. You're in the tower and you're tied down because of what you did to Doctor Light. I'm -"

Now that i'm thinking straight I know who it is. "Robin. I know...what did I do?"

He doesn't answer for a minute. I can just picture the suspicious glare on his face.

"You nearly killed him. Are you saying you don't remember?"

I...what? No way.

"I...killed him?"

"No. You almost killed him. Do you or do you not remember?"

"...No..."

He pauses again. Guess he's trying to decide if he should believe me.

"I'll take your word for it. What's the last thing you do remember?"

Wow. He didn't call me a liar.

"...I remember the alarm...and getting in the T-Car...I remember you telling us what was goin' on...then...nothing."

I guess...I overdid it a little. That'd explain the pain.

"...I see. Do you remember what you said?"

"Nope...not a thing..."

"You were screaming at him, when you were breaking his ribs. We couldn't make it out. When we got to you, told you to stop, you said that we were trying to steal your glory, that we wanted you to stay weak. You wanted to fight us."

Oh man...that..why me?

"I...did...?...What happened...?

There's nothing for a second, and then he sighs.

"You collapsed. You've been out almost four days."

Four...? I didn't think i'd live this long.

"I..."

He cuts me off, this time.

"Forget it, Beast Boy. I've already dealt with it. You're off the hook, this time."

Wait a sec...Robin covered for me? Woah.

"Thanks, dude..."

"It's alright. I know you well enough to know you wouldn't do that to someone without reason."

"Yeah, I j -"

"Relax. Now that I know you're sane, i'll let you up. Then i'm going to get Raven - i'm under orders."

"...Raven's worried about me?"

I can - just - see him nod as he undoes the straps.

"Yeah - she's a little scary when she's worried."

Then he's gone.

End of chapter seven.

Notes: Sorry I took my time, but I rewrote the other chapters as well, because I wasn't happy with them. This chapter is short. Itdoesn't have Raven in it because I didn't want to writea cliche 'I was worried' scene, although that's just because I can't write that sort of thing. Two questions - should I - attempt - to make this a romance or not and did you like it, or hate it?
