A/N: Thanks to my first reviewers…KorrianderXhal, OneLove, DeathsLastBreath, slapthecat, clueless90, aquastar12345, KodoraFairy, and LadyAmbrosine!
KodoraFairy – have I rambled? I would never ramble! I'm always quick to get to the point…very straightforward! Bah! Rambling!...oops
OneLove – this story is rated M for extreme violence and a bit of language and sexual theming…it will happen soon…there will be some serious R/S fluff later on and possibly a sex scene. If not here, maybe a sequel?
Chapter 6: Beast Boy's Search
A green hound dog roamed the streets of Jump City, sniffing everything that he passed. This was how Beast Boy had spent all of his free time during the last five days. He had gone to Starfire's room and sniffed around; smelling shampoos, perfumes, bed sheets, clothes, anything that might give him a lead on Star's whereabouts. Then he headed for town whenever he could, searching for her scent. He had learned that her shampoo was widely used and her perfume was also well liked. Many times he had followed his nose to some girl who was not Starfire, but used some product that his friend had also used.
Robin had caught the changeling snooping around Starfire's room and had yelled at him quite fiercely. The green teen had been taken aback at this reaction and noticed that Robin seemed stunned as well. He explained what he was doing and the Boy Wonder gave an embarrassed apology, telling Beast Boy that it was a good idea before scurrying off. Beast Boy left out a self-satisfied harrumph…once Robin was out of earshot, and wondered to himself what Robin was so worked up about. Granted, Star had been missing for almost a week and they still had no leads, but nobody else was going bonkers. Things had been quieter around the tower; nobody really felt like arguing or laughing much. Everybody was looking for Starfire in their own way and they were often tired from hours of searching, but at least Raven and Cyborg hadn't gone off the deep end.
Beast Boy continued his search. Her scent would only linger for so long and if it rained, he was out of luck, but he had to keep trying…just in case.
They had nothing to go on so nothing was out of the question. Maybe she had been kidnapped by a group of psychotic, power-hungry mutant sludge monsters. Maybe they were brainwashing her and forcing her to do their evil bidding. Brainwashed or not…she would still smell the same. He knew that if he suggested this theory to the others, he would get disgusted glares, but one of these days he was going to be right and all of his knowledge about zombies and other monsters would prove rather useful.
