Author's notes: "I own the titans and Smallville," lawyers burst in the door "you don't own these, and we are going to sue you for saying this." "Ok, I will fix it I don't own this stuff ok, and thanks for the reviews."

Chapter 3

Rent/ the suspect list

Gar looked at Clark as he was talking about the story he was writing about and it was about Beast Boys disappearance. "I think he got cold feet." Said Chloe as she put her two cents in. "it's not uncommon for people to run off the day of a wedding," "68 believe you also" said Clark looking at Gar stirring his coffee. "What do you think about it Gar?" Gar put down his coffee "it's just a wedding," said Gar reaching for a cookie "it shouldn't be anyone else's business if they were to have cold feet or not." "Good point." Said Clark "I wish the tabloids would share your view, where did you go to school Gar." Gar looked at his watch as he realized the time "I have to get going I have an early shift tomorrow." Said Gar picking up his vodka and his coat "thanks for the Dinner Ms. Sullivan and nice to meet you Clark." Gar closed the door on his way out the door.

"Where did you meet Gar?" asked Clark while helping putting away the dishes "I don't know he arrived here a month ago a bit on his luck. Why?" asked Chloe looking at Clark her own reporters instinct going on full "I don't know." Said Clark "I just get this déjà vu feeling from him," "Clark how many people have you saved, you could have saved him when he was a kid." Said Chloe providing a reason for the feeling, "yeah you're probably right," said Clark "but can you do me a favor keep an eye on him, for me?" "Sure" said Chloe as she turned to face him to fine him gone and papers scattered around the place.

The next morning Gar woke up his hand slamming the noise being omitted by the alarm clock. Gar sat up rubbing his head and made his way to the washroom, and turned on the shower and looking at himself in the mirror when he noticed something odd about his teeth his canines to be more exact have grown sharp. He stood there wondering how, until a knock on his door stopped his train of thought.

Gar turned off the water and quickly put pant on before he answers it "I up," snarled Gar as he made his way to the door and opening it to find someone he didn't expect for awhile "is it the first of the month already?" Gar looked at his watch "I heard you had a interesting dinner last night?" said Lex stepping into the place as Gar gathered the rent, "what are you doing keeping tabs, on me?" asked Gar produce the money "I thought a man like you would want to a loner like me." Lex shook his head "Gar I am sticking my neck out for you remember." Said Lex with a smile "I got you out of Arkum I got you the medicine you needed I even gave you starting off money so you should understand why I am watching you." Gar looked at him for a moment then sighed "I guess your right, who would want a mental man walking around with no control." Said Gar handing him the money "I need to get to work now Mr. Luthor, so see you later,"

"Sorry I'm late," said Gar as he descended the stairs "it won't happen again." Lana looked at him confused "Gar you have the day off today, Remember?" said Lana as the thought reentered Gar's mind "if your headed out today, here's 40$." Gar looked at the money "I can't take this." said Gar refusing the money "the shop needs it more," "I wasn't offering it to you." Said Lana placing the money in his hand "have a good time."

Gar stood outside the Talon with the money in his hand and pondered what to do with as he started to walk down the street. "Maybe a movie," said Gar as he walked past a book store. "Maybe a book," Beast Boy walked into the bookstore and saw a book that caught his eye, the book was called 'the mind in me, a story of a trouble soul.' And the author was a Mr. Steve Dayton. Gar decided to buy it so he could read it in his spare time.

After buying the book he decided on going home and read for the rest of the day. Gar read the first chapter and continued to read into the second when a paragraph made him cry:

"As I said before I knew him as a son. But he kept things from me. When we first meet he wanted to join us I fought against it but other people thought it would be useful for us to have a shape shifter. We had everything a team could need why mess with success. But then he started to grow on me a little, he was always a free spirited. But then are team almost got wiped out, and in the heat of anger I forced the kid off the team. But he did well I meet up with him once before, and he saved my life. But did I acknowledge it? No, did I say thank you Beast Boy? No, I held my emotions in. my wife Rita actually wanted to adopt the kid, in another universe I probably would have. Then maybe I wouldn't have been such a stubborn jackass. Of all the mistakes in life I made that is the one of the few I would change. Someday I might apologize if it weren't a shot to my ego."

Gar put the book down and wondered why this would affect him; he wasn't him he was a lost cause. "I guess being locked in a nut house does these things to you huh Gar?" Gar asked himself as he fixed himself a drink that he needed right now.

Titan's Tower,

"No you listen," said Matt slamming his fist down "I don't care about gut feelings, I want him questioned." "I told you that your list doesn't have any good motives." Said Robin looking at a list Matt complied as suspects that would gain something from Beast Boy missing "Nick Gaultry would keep control of Logan Biomechanics." Said Matt proving a motive "Bruce Wayne is low on my list, and besides he is rich why would you care." Robin sat there looking at his hands sure he was Robin but he wouldn't be Robin without Batman he owed him his life. He was, like Beast Boy an orphan but never told him nor the rest of the titans except for Raven who knew because she ventured into his mind. And Starfire who he told in one of their more cherished moments,

"Well," Said Matt "he helps the JLA in Gotham" said Robin "besides what would he gain?" Matt smiled as he showed Robin a paper "Mr. Wayne was entitled to receive the rights to a liquid skin, Gar in his judgment wanted Bruce to pay a higher price then Gaultry had offered him. But Gar was going to give it all to a village in Africa." Said Matt with a smile "you see Mr. Wayne paid less for the deal and Gaultry got a raise and the village got nothing." Robin had a shocked look on his face. "Why would Bruce allow that?" asked Robin to himself "I will question him tomorrow." Matt laughed as if Robin told the funniest joke in the world (A/N: if it were the funniest joke in the world Matt would have died of laughter. So would have Robin because he read the joke.) "If you can get a meeting with one of the richest men in the world on one days notice I give up meat."

As Matt and Robin were talking Raven was helping Cyborg on Matt's Car because Cyborg needed something challenging to preoccupy his time, "Rae can you pass me the wrench." Said Cyborg as he worked on the engine "what are they talking about in there?" asked Raven while handing Cyborg the tool he required, "I don't know, Robin has been extremely pissed since Matt showed up so it could be anything," said Cyborg as footsteps entered the garage as a pale orange alien

"how is the working of the auto going?" said Starfire in a less cheerful voice causing Raven to look up at her "are you feeling alright?" asked Raven pointing out the way she looked "I am normal for one carrying a child." Said Starfire causing Cyborg to hit his head on the hood of the car, "you're pregnant, does Robin know?" asked Cyborg while rubbing the back of his head. "I am going to tell him tonight." Said Starfire excitedly "I just wish friend Impulse would get back from visiting Terra." A container of windshield cleaning exploded at the presence of her name causing Cyborg to look at raven "she had nothing to do with his disappearance." said Cyborg as he watched tears roll down her cheeks. "I just miss him." Said Raven as she felt an arm wrap around her back "I know I miss him too." Said Cyborg as her tears rolled his shoulder as this became a daily thing in their life in the tower.
