Ch.1: Death spares No Man
The night's air filled every inch of Titans Tower that night. You could almost feel the darkness creeping up at you throat. It was almost 1:30 in the morning and no one was up, well sort of. There green teen had been exiting and coming back from the tower every night for the part 4 months. It was 1 year, 4 months, and 7 days since the 'death of Terra' and 4 months sense the new 'Terra' had appeared at the young school in Jump City. Beast Boy was now turning 16 and his puberty had long past. But his kind heartedness still stayed. The boy had been planning for several weeks to ask the gothic teen, Raven, out and try to show his true feelings for her. But every time he tried a small pain of Terra would come to him and he would chicken out.
But tomorrow was the day, he had abolished Terra from his mind with a bottle of tequila and a night out and now was preparing to get his surprise for Raven ready. He had kept his secret in a small box in the basement of Titans Tower and sense Cyborg had added an outside entrance he could go out and enter through the back so he would not wake the young girl just a few floors up. He had spent countless hours at a small burger joint down town to bye this item worth over $300. But money wasn't the matter. It was a new jeweled belt much like hers she wore on a daily basis, except instead of red diamond it was an almost black pearly with a golden raven imprinted on the middle link. Had polished it 7 times that day making sure it was perfect for the next.
He placed the belt in an almost perfect position inside of a black box next to her tea cups for her to see clearly. And when he looked back at it a small blush came to his forest green cheeks.
"I hope she loves it." He preyed to his green bean self.
The boy had to leave the house once more to close up the back entrance to the garage and when he closed it softly a small sound was heard from above him. Before he could look up a figure fell from nowhere and landed on him. The two rolled along the grass trying to stay on top of one another till the shadowy figure lifted Beast Boy up with his right foot and catapulted him off with his left. The green boy fell to the ground with a loud thud and transformed into a green Raptor. The green animal lunged at the shadow only to clamp down on steel arm plates. Before he could change again a steel pike collided with his ribs knocking him against the wall with a sickening thwack. The green teen hobbled to stand straight and caught a metal blade entering right below his chest and exiting his back with the horrible sound of blood and bone scraping against each other. The man lifted the bloodied Beast Boy high in the air and flung him off of the pike. Before he hit the ground the sharp point of the blade slice half of his throat and he hit the floor with a sound like dead weight hitting the bottom of the ocean floor.
The bloodied boy laid there building up a pool of the red liquid that stained the cement he laid on. But somehow he wasn't dead; no he blocked out all of the echoing pain in his body and crawled along the floor groaning every inch. His family was in danger and he was the only one that could save them. His communicator was in the mailbox of Titans Tower, he always put it there if he was outside the tower, so he wouldn't be disturbed.
There was complete silence now, only the mind destroying sound of bloody flesh scraping against cement and hard but useless breathing from an already dead man. But as he crawled a bright light began to shine above him. It was so bright it was like a human sun shining down on his bare green neck. Beast Boy tried to speak but no words came out, only gurgles and gasps from the blood in his throat building up. Before him was a tall man with long brown hair. His eyes were a deep blue and his face was soft and smooth like a child's. He wore a white robe with a cross near his heart. His white robe had silver plating on its chest and on its pelvis. This man held a blade of fire in his right hand and he reached out to Garfield. The green child backed up slightly but stopped to let out a gasp of pain.
"Do not worry child, I am no threat, take my hand." whispered the man in an angelic voice.
That's when Beast Boy noticed something that lifted his heart; on the back of the man were large white wings like a very large eagle on the back of a human. Reluctantly Beast Boy took hold of his soft hand. In an almost unknown flash of light they had traveled from the small back yard next to the harbor of Titans Tower to the docks of Jump City just north of it. Beast Boy laid on the ground with a soft thud and he felt his life leaving his body. But the angel next to him placed his hand on the slit throat and like Raven's mysterious power's it closed up leaving nothing but a small pea green scar along his throat. In some way he had found his voice once again.
"What's going on, who are you?" asked the young boy holding his large wound.
"There is only time to say my name, you may call me Michael, but according to the book I am Saint Michael." whispered the angel as he held the boy down still.
"We have to go save my friends from that mad man, come on!" yelled Beast Boy as he rose to his feet but only fell back down in the pain.
"I am afraid we cannot save them now, look away now child." whispered the man helping the boy to his feet.
There was no time to say anything else, a large boom was heard and a blast wave traveled from the tower to the ocean pushing the water out like splitting the red sea and then fire. The tower imploded from the inside out and there was only fire and the sound of crackling laughter.
"No!" yelled Beast Boy in such a heart breaking sound that it would break any brother's heart.
The green teen fell to his knees and tears fell from his eyes but soon he fell to the floor unconscious from blood loss, and a broken heart.
7 day's later
A green boy sat in a medical bed with a bandage around his chest and head. He had an I.V sticking out of his skin giving him more blood and fluids. Around him were 5 adults, known as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and the Green Lantern. On there faces were sad looks. The green boy stirred in his sleep and all 5 of the adults looked up with small grins.
"Garfield, you awake!" smiled Wonder Woman with tears in her eyes as she wrapped her arms around the green boy.
"Hey guys, what's up, where are the Titans!" he almost yelled the last words as he remembered what happened.
He watched all of the grins fade away and Batman looked down in anger.
"I'm sorry Beast Boy, but none of them survived, we found you across the canal bleeding to death and we almost thought you were dead." confronted Flash as he put a hand of his friends shoulder.
Beast Boy sat there in complete silence and tears came to his eyes.
"What happened?" he asked softly.
"Inner explosion, someone had planted a lot of napalm bombs. They all went fast and with no pain." said Batman in his monotone voice.
"What made it through the explosion?" he asked looking up with sadness.
Green Lantern pulled out a box from the box and handed it to him. The box was filled with computer chips and to his surprise the Game station controllers were fine, talk about durability. But then he found it, the belt he was going to give Raven, it was a little sizzled and some of the gems were stained black with soot. He held it in his hands and broke down on the spot.
Superman approached him and put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry son."
"I was going to tell her my feelings! I was going to let it all out! Why, why did that bastard choose to kill them that's night, I wanted t know if she felt the same! Raven! Raven! Raven!" he screamed in such pain that Batman stepped out of the room and sat in a small chair outside the door.
If anyone was there they would have seen Batman remove his mask and cry as Bruce Wayne. Inside the room the emotion was dead and no happiness was felt at all or would be for some time.
"The ceremony is tomorrow, we were able to find the… bodies… in some time. We need you to be there. The entire city is showing up and it will be shown around the world." whispered Superman as he looked outside the window to the dark skies of Jump City.
Beast Boy sat there with the belt in his arms, and for some reason he laughed a little and looked up at the original Justice League and nodded his head.
"Yes, I want to go."
