((Well, somehow I managed to pull off a fourth chapter. I'm still not too pleased with it but once again the reviews convinced me to write more. :3 So I hope you enjoy this, reviewers, cause this chapter is in honor of you! xD I just wish it was better...unfortunetly it jumps and a lot happens in a short amount of writing space but you'll have to forgive me for that...I'm writing on random here x.X

To all reviewers, thankyouuu:D
To answer a few things...
Pureangel86 and Darkraven05, you'll find out more about 'the voice'/'witch' later but I'm not pointing fingers just yet, hehehx3
And not to worry, Regrem Erutaerc, there'll be plently ofBB/Rae fluff sooner or later, that I promise you. I'm aBB/Rae supporterand I think I've alreadyhinted too much on them already to leave it at that. x3
Will-the-titan, I doubt you'll read this, as you don't seem to enjoy my story much more then I do, but at least tell me what you thinkI did wrong, otherwise that review is worth, in all honesty, shit. -nods sharply- I'm sorry, I don't mind the rating, we're entitled to our own opinions, but if you're going to go out of your way to tell me how horrible it is, please tell me why it's so horrible. That is all.

Confusion
Chapter 4

/Please no! Please no, please no, please no…/ It was all she could plead as she dashed down the street after her comrades, occasional objects and debris exploding or flying into something as her emotions went haywire; she couldn't even find the control to fly. /Maybe I was just seeing things. I had to have…after all it was really foggy…/ she comforted herself, offering different options, any kind of option really, crazy or sane, to disprove what she'd seen at the end of the street.

But there was no denying it, especially after she ran 'round the last corner where her friends stood stock still, eyes wide in shock at the young man standing before them; the cause of the vandalism and numerous casualties that had occurred all in one instant; the former titan; Beast Boy.

He'd changed. That was the first thing Raven realized as her numb mind started working at a frantic pace. He seemed on the edge, his eyes were blood-shot, his breathing was heavy and uneven, but what really shook her was how much he'd matured in appearance. Maybe it was just the dim lighting but did he seem taller? More masculine? No, no one could change that much in one week.

Or could they? Or maybe she'd just never noticed before…never realized how strong and serious he could be…how chilling he looked when he was focused determinedly and wasn't joking around and smiling at everything. No, Beast Boy had grown up mentally in his absence; it was terribly apparent; so much so that she wished desperately that he would straighten up and grin in his stupid way, laughing at them for falling for his joke even though she knew she would throttle him for it.

But as he straightened up, not even a flicker of a smile on his face, it became apparent this wasn't a joke at all. This was truth. And Beast Boy wasn't the boy he was during their last meeting.

"Beast Boy…why?" Robin had finally managed to say, confusion written all over his masked visage.

"I told you I was sorry, right Rae?" It was all he said, his voice cold and stony, his eyes hard and cruel, hitting her consciousness full force even though he refused to look her in the eyes. This couldn't be Beast Boy. This wasn't the young man she knew and loved. "I told you, didn't I?" He insisted when she didn't answer, this time his eyes making contact with hers; eyes full of power, demanding her to answer, irritated with her incompetence.

"Beast Boy…" She couldn't say anything else. How could she? It had taken everything to say his name alone…

"Answer me, Raven." He said sharply, something flickering distantly in his seemingly endless emerald eyes.

"BB what's wrong with you? Did you do all this?" Cyborg finally said, breaking the silence that had settled upon them when Raven found herself unable to answer.

"That's none of your business." Beast Boy growled in a low menacing voice, his mouth twitching in a scowl.

"Yes. It is. As your best friend it is." Cyborg yelled back, confusion taking an obvious toll on him. He didn't know what to think, Raven could see that as his human eye flickered over Beast Boy, begging for an answer he wouldn't receive.

Beast Boy snorted slightly, running a hand through his messy jade tresses with a smirk forming on his lips. "Yes. Yes, I did." He replied at length, his eyes hidden behind his hand which had paused half-way through his hair.

"Are you serious! What's gotten into you?" Robin demanded, this time his bo staff ready at hand. Raven held back a wave of ferocity at him. He wasn't going to give Beast Boy a chance.

"I've grown up, Robin. Something you haven't done in the least." Beast Boy replied with a twisted grin as he let his hand drop to his side, apparently pleased with the outraged look his former leader gave him. "I've reached all new high."

"You mean you've reached an all knew low!" Robin spat back, disgust showing plainly on his face.

"Whatever you say, bird boy." Beast Boy said with an indifferent shrug. "But I've done what I came here to do...So - see ya." And before anyone could conjure up another word of protest or make a move to stop him, he'd morphed into a bird and shot out across the sky leaving the others with nothing but a cold aftershock breeze.

"He's a criminal, Raven! We have to uphold the law!"

"He's our friend, Robin! We have to find out what's wrong with him!"

"Did he seem like much of a friend today!"

"He's confused! I know he was! I saw it…it only lasted a moment, but I saw it in his eyes…" /That distant flicker of guilt…/

"You saw it in his eyes."

"Yes, I did, Robin! And I saw it in yours when /you/ played the bad-guys in the past as well!"

Well that seemed to shut him up; for now at least. What did it take to convince him? For Beast Boy to get down on his knees and beg? That wouldn't have happened even if BB /hadn't/ left!

"Well then, what are we going to do about this?" Cyborg asked darkly from his seat on the couch, his human eye looking up at Raven and Robin standing in the middle of the living room.

"Yes, friends, we must decide what actions to take. I believe friend Raven is right…something is wrong with friend Beast Boy and we must make him better." Starfire put in worriedly. "So…all we have to do is find him, correct?"

Easier said then done. It quickly became apparent that BB had an amazing ability to make himself scarce. Either he'd left the city and all its surroundings altogether, or he was just good at blending in. In whichever case the remaining titans lost; another half a week went by and not a single lead on Beast Boy. Little did they know he was closer then they thought…

Cyborg stomped irritably down the street, grumbling something about having to walk all the way to the store and back for the groceries. But his car was out of commission at the moment, the others were busy, and he wasn't about to deny the fact that they all needed nutrients (his stomach was very persistent in making that detail audible).

He sighed in a defeated sort of way, plopping the many bags of groceries on a bench and sitting down next to them. He leaned back with another small sigh, looking up at the sky and closing his eyes. /What a pain. Man, if only it weren't so boring then maybe it wouldn't seemtake so long…I wouldn't be alone if BB was here…/ He thought glumly, kicking at a stone near his foot. It rolled into the bushes, startling a small green snake out of hiding. It slithered away with a small hiss of protest but did little else. Cyborg shrugged and returned his attention to the subject at hand.

At first he just pushed the thought of his best friend out of his mind completely, willing the image of Beast Boy's smiling face to be ripped from his memory entirely. But when he recalled the cold young man with intense eyes that he'd encountered a few days ago, he began to find the old image quite appealing.

He opened his eyes and leaned forward, his arms resting on his legs. "What happened to you, BB? What made you do that?" He asked no one softly, for the first time since BB had left feeling utterly alone. What was there to life if you weren't kicking your best friend's ass in Gamestation for hours at a time? He choked on a laugh at that thought, shaking his head in spite of himself and picking up the grocery bags.

It was when he turned around that he saw her, shock rocking his features as he scanned the big bright blue eyes looking up at him with uncertainty. The girl blinked once nervously, almost fearfully before taking a small step back and shaking her head in a 'no' motion.

It took Cyborg a minute to register who stood before him, to recognize the long blonde hair, those big blue eyes, the childish face, the tiny string bean frame. "…T…Terra…?" He asked uncertainly, nearly dropping his bags but regaining his grip just in the nick of time.

She took another step back, still shaking her head in that same fearful way. "No…no you can't see me!" She cried, tears welling up in her eyes.

"What are you-"

"-Stop it! Just stop it!" He screamed, covering her ears and shutting her eyes closed as tight as she could, shaking her head, as if willing him away with all her might.

"How did you-?"

"I said stop it!" She hollered back, finally looking at him again, her face paled with panic. "Please." She added pleadingly.

Cyborg frowned at her a bit, not sure what to make of her sudden appearance. But he grudgingly obliged to her plea, watching her with a keen interest as she looked at everything around her as if afraid something would jump out and attack her. They stood this way for a few minutes before she finally looked back at him, jumping slightly as though it were the first time she realized he was standing there. She looked away with a slightly guilty expression before looking back up at him, her azure eyes begging for apology and support. She opened her mouth warily, tears welling up in her eyes again as she spoke in a horse whisper. "Is it really you…Cyborg…?"
