Beast Boy was lying face down on the bed, his face buried in the pillow. He had been in this position since the Titans had tossed him unceremoniously into the cell 2 hours earlier. He had yet to get up from the bed and he hadn't even moved and for good reason, he didn't want the Titans to see him cry.

He felt like a fool, a chump. He had actually believed that she loved him and worse of all he thought he could reform her, bring out the true Raven that was buried in her. It was only now that he realized that he had been projecting his old feelings for Terra onto Raptor. The main difference was that he had been right about Terra not being evil, while he had been dead wrong about Raptor. He still couldn't believe that she abandoned him like that, especially after he had just asked her to run away with him. He had even been considering asking her to marry him.

But he also knew that part of the fault lay in his own lap. He had fallen for her when he should have known better and he knew that the sex was the main reason that had happened. She seemed so open, unencumbered with hang ups like Raven was. But worst of all there had been a little voice at the back of his mind that kept reminding him that Raven was his girlfriend and not Raptor. Of course, unlike Raptor, Raven didn't put out, so he had cheated on her with what was fundamentally her slutty twin sister.

Now Beast Boy was feeling guilty. Guilty for having forsaken Raven, for being disloyal to her. He was certain that Raven was probably spending her every waking moment trying to find him, while he was cavorting with Raptor every night in her bed.

The changeling sighed.

If I ever get home, what am I going to tell her? I know I won't be able to hide it from her indefinitely; I'm going to have to tell her sooner or later.

Beast Boy choked back his tears.

And after I tell her she'll dump me and never speak to me again. BB, you're an idiot!

He didn't care what happened to him anymore. He didn't care if he spent the rest of his life in that cell, since there was nothing waiting for him outside those 4 walls. As far as he was concerned his life was over.

His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of the cell block's sliding doors opening. He didn't look up to see who it was and quite frankly he didn't care. He heard the light footsteps approach his cell before they stopped. He could tell that it was one of the girls. As he lay motionless he heard the force field deactivate, but even then he didn't move.

"She broke your heart, didn't she?" The familiar voice asked. "We could have told you that would happen had we found you first."

Beast Boy's head popped up and he swung himself around so that he was facing her.

"Terra?"

The blond gave him a sweet and gentle smile.

"So I take we were friends in your universe, am I right?"

Beast Boy wiped away the moist remnants of his tears from his face while nodding in reply before answering.

"We were, that is until you pretended to not know me."

Terra scrunched her nose. "Why would I do that?"

He shook his head in reply. "It's a long story, one you probably won't like."

"Try me."

He sighed before proceeding,

"OK, but don't say I didn't warn you. Here's the Cliff Notes version: In my universe you were a late addition to the Titans. Raven didn't like you but Robin, Cyborg, Starfire and I did. I fell in love with you, but you ran away because you couldn't control your powers and you wanted to keep it a secret. Robin figured out that you couldn't control your powers but you thought I told him so you ran away without even saying good bye. You came back a few months later with your powers under control and rejoined the team and sort of became my girlfriend. But you were working for Slade as his apprentice, you betrayed us to him and you almost killed us. We regrouped and counterattacked after which you ran back to Slade. He tried to use you to kill me but you fought back. You accidentally triggered an underground volcano. Slade fell into it and died. You stayed behind to plug up the volcano and succeeded, but you turned into stone. A year later I saw a girl who looked like you at a local school. I went to the cave and your 'statue' was gone, so I figured that girl had to be you, but she said she wasn't you and she sent me away. I still think she was you, but I never saw her again."

Terra looked surprised to hear the unbelievable story.

"I was your 'sort of' girlfriend?"

Beast Boy blushed before replying.

"Kind of. You gave Slade the security codes to the Tower but you invited me out on a date to get me out of there so I wouldn't be harmed. You took me to an amusement park, and we almost kissed and would have had Slade not shown up."

Terra chuckled. "Well, that's some story. So I worked for Slade? I thought that was Raptor's job."

"After our Terra betrayed us I was the only one who thought she could be redeemed. I guess I thought I could redeem Raptor as well."

"I see, so how did Raptor win you over? Did she sleep with you?"

Beast Boy's head dropped.

"I know, I'm a chump. She played me like a fiddle. She told me that my counterpart here was the only lover she ever had."

Terra laughed. "So that's why she started wearing her cape and leotard again. I've got bad news for you Garfield. Raptor sleeps around … a lot. She's basically a whore."

"Somehow, I guess I knew that."

"If you don't mind my asking, do you have a girlfriend back home?"

He nodded sadly.

"Yeah I do, it's Raven."

Terra gasped.

"Oh my, you really dug yourself into a hole."

"Tell me about it. So what happens to me now?"

Terra chuckled. "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. We're setting you free."

"You are?"

"Well, yeah. You haven't committed any crimes that we know of. Dating Raptor might be a monumentally stupid move, but it isn't a crime, at least not according to any laws on the books. Anyway, you're free to go; you can leave at any time."

Instead of leaping to his feet Beast Boy lowered himself back onto the bed.

"I said you can leave."

"I don't have anywhere to go." He replied morosely.

"So you'd rather stay in this cell?"

"I guess."

Terra rolled her eyes and grabbed him by the wrist.

"I have an idea. Come with me."

Terra led Beast Boy through the Tower. He noticed that there were some differences in the layout of the Titans HQ when compared to the Tower he called home. One thing that was the same was the location of Raven's room.

"You didn't empty out her room?" He asked.

Terra shook her head as they walked past the door.

"Nobody wants to go in there. It's way too creepy. So we left it alone."

They continued walking until they reached the common room doors. As they slid open a familiar sight greeted him, or at least it was sort of familiar. The couch was where it belonged, but it was square instead of crescent shaped. Gizmo and See-More were playing a videogame on the giant screen, but it wasn't a GameStation, it was a Y-Box 720. As he looked around he saw more discrepancies, most of which were minor.

Gizmo looked up from the couch.

"What's he doing here? I thought you were turning the snot muncher loose."

"Yeah, why's he still here?" Jinx asked.

Terra put her hands on her hips.

"I want him to join our team."

"You do?" Beast Boy gasped.

"What?" Jinx shrieked. "Just like that? Just because we couldn't prove that he's a member of the Hive doesn't mean he isn't."

"He was a member of the Titans in his universe." Terra replied.

"Oh yeah, I'd like to see some proof of that!" Gizmo growled.

Terra turned to Beast Boy.

"Your utility belt please."

"Huh? Oh yeah, sure."

Beast Boy undid his utility belt, which Raptor had returned to him after they began to sleep together. He handed it to Terra who began to rifle through it. The first thing she pulled out was his communicator which she handed to Gizmo.

"He has one of our communicators."

"Big whoop, they could have reverse engineered it, it could be a fake." Jinx commented.

Terra handed the communicator to Gizmo and the midget walked over to a workstation and began to examine it. After a couple of minutes he had a verdict.

"It's not one of ours." He announced.

"I knew it, it's a fake!" Jinx trumpeted triumphantly.

"It didn't say it was fake, just that it's not one of ours." Gizmo quipped.

"That makes no sense." Mammoth chimed in.

"It would if you had a brain moron! He's from another dimension and so is his communicator. It's 100% compatible with ours. The only difference is that just like him it has a different quantum signature."

Jinx still looked skeptical.

"I want more proof."

Terra resumed rifling through the belt. She found his Titan credit card, some photos of the other Titans, including the ones her counterpart and Beast Boy had taken at the amusement park photo booth, some candy, a chapstick, a first aid kit and then finally she found what she was looking for. She handed the security card to Gizmo.

"No one knows we have these, not even Raptor because we never gave her one. Is it real?"

Gizmo's eyes grew wide as he took the card from Terra. He typed furiously on his keyboard before sliding it through a card reader. His eyes grew even wider when he saw the results on the screen.

"What's your code barf brain?"

Beast Boy looked at Terra, who nodded in reply.

"Beta, epsilon, alpha, sigma, tau, beta, omicron, psi." Beast Boy replied. Gizmo typed in the code.

"It's legit, even though it also has a different quantum signature the card would work in our system.'' He sighed. "He could trigger the self destruct sequence if he wanted to."

Jinx, Mammoth and See-More all gasped at the revelation.

"Did you ever give the codes to Raptor?" Terra asked in a worried tone.

Beast Boy shook his head. "She never asked me about the contents of my belt, but they took it away from me at first. I'm pretty sure Cyborg must have examined it before she gave it back to me. You might want to change all your codes just to be safe."

Beast Boy sighed.

"Terra, what did she want from me? Why was she nice to me?"

Jinx replied first. "You reminded her of The Beast. He was the only long term lover she ever had. I suppose she missed him. Who would have thought that Raptor could be even remotely monogamous?"

"I wouldn't go that far!" Mammoth snorted.

"Whatever." Terra interrupted. "So are there any objections to Beast Boy joining the Titans?"

Mammoth was the first to agree, followed by See-More and Gizmo. Jinx was the only hold out.

"Before I cast my vote, tell me then if you were a Titan in your universe, what were we?"

Beast Boy gulped.

"You're not gonna like the answer."

"Just tell us booger brain!"

"Ok, but like I said, you're not gonna like the answer. All of you, except for Terra, were members of the Hive-5."

"And what about the Hive here?" See-More asked.

"They were the Titans back home, except for Blackfire. She was also evil back at home. Starfire took her place."

"And what about Terra? Was she Hive or Titan?" Jinx asked.

"He already told me. My counterpart was briefly a Titan, but then became Slade's apprentice."

The group gasped.

"That's rough." Mammoth commented.

Beast Boy noticed that Terra had omitted telling them about how they had briefly been a couple back in his dimension.

"Well Jinx, what do you say?"

The enchantress crossed her arms and frowned.

"It goes against my better judgment, but I'll vote yes under one condition."

"What's that?" Terra asked.

"That he cleans out Raptor's room."

"I'll do it." He replied. "But why are you so afraid of her room? In my dimension you guys once stormed the Tower and kicked us out. You had no problem going into Raven's room. You even tried on some of her clothes."

"We just don't like her. OK?" Jinx hissed at him before shuddering. "I wore her clothes?"

Beast Boy grinned. "Well, just her cape."

"Whatever! Just clean it out. I suppose you already know where the cleaning supplies are?"

Beast Boy continued grinning as he trotted into the kitchen and opened one of the cabinets.

"They're not here." He said in a confused voice.

"They're in the next cabinet snot muncher."

TtTtTt TtTtTt TtTtTt

Meanwhile, across town…

Cyborg, Nightwing and Blackfire were high fiving each other as they replayed the video on their stolen TV for the umpteenth time.

"She's so predictable!" Blackfire laughed as she pointed at the screen. "She took him to her 'secret island'; like we don't know she takes her boyfriend du jour there to get laid while the sun rises."

"Great job hacking into the Russian spy satellite Cy!" Nightwing chuckled. "This video feed of them doing the nasty on the beach is priceless. We should post it on the internet!"

Evil Cyborg leaned back on the couch with a pleased look on his face. "It was one of my finer moments I'll admit." He laughed. "They sure looked like they were having a good time."

"And look at him go. He doesn't seem to tire. And look at that stupid lovey dovey smile on Raptor's face. I think she really is in love with him." Blackfire remarked.

"You seem to be enjoying the show Blackfire." Nightwing replied.

"Of course I am. I never knew Garfield had such a cute butt!"

The three villains erupted into raucous laughter and almost didn't notice the black hemisphere that appeared and dissolved, revealing a furious Raptor.

"Oh don't be angry Raptor! So we watched you frak him, it's not like you're shy or something." Blackfire chuckled.

Cyborg was the first to notice that something was amiss.

"Where's Broccoli Face?"

Raptor clenched her fist, encasing Cyborg in her dark energy's vise like grip.

"Don't you dare call him that!" She hissed.

"Where is he Raptor?" Nightwing asked.

"The Titans captured him you idiots!" She screamed as she looked at the screen.

"You imbeciles! They were monitoring that satellite! I hope you had fun with your stupid peep show! It's your fault they found us!"

The 3 villains were stunned. Raptor released her grip on Cyborg and he landed on the floor with a heavy thud.

"So what happened?" Blackfire asked.

"What do you think? We were having breakfast in Moureia when they showed up and ambushed us. They captured him first and I had no choice other than to run. I HAD TO LEAVE HIM BEHIND!"

By this point Raptor was crackling with dark energy and her 4 demonic eyes were glowing.

"Look Raptor we're sorry." Blackfire apologized. "We didn't mean for this to happen."

Raptor snarled at the Tamaranian.

"Sorry doesn't cut it Blackfire. You're all going to help me rescue him!"

"But Raptor, you know we can't breach the Tower's defenses, we've' tried it before and failed. It would be a suicide mission." Cyborg pleaded with her.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Cyborg shook his head.

Raptor slowly began to assume her demonic form.

"Then maybe I'll cut a deal with my father. He's been dying to get into this dimension." She said in a guttural, otherworldly voice.

The three villains leaped to their feet.

"Raptor, you can't be serious!" Nightwing shouted.

"Give us some time, we'll figure a way to rescue him." Blackfire pleaded. "But please don't bring your father here, please!"

Cyborg interrupted the conversation when he noticed a light flash on their ops console.

"Wait guys, there some Titans news on TV." He said as he grabbed the remote and switched the TV's input to a local TV channel.

We have some breaking Titans' news. We take you straight to a news conference at Titans tower…

The image switched from the newsroom to the press hall at Titans Tower (I bet you didn't know they had one. Well they don't, I just made that up) where Terra was standing behind a podium with Beast Boy standing next to her.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the press, I have some exciting news. A new member has joined the Titans. He hails from a parallel universe where he was also a Teen Titan. He will be instrumental in helping to bring down the Hive-5 once and for all. His name is Beast Boy and he has similar morphing powers to the now missing Beast of the Hive-5, who we believe is now trapped in Beast Boy's home universe."

Terra stepped aside and applauding she ceded the podium to Beast Boy. The press corps joined her in her applause as Beast Boy bashfully stepped behind the podium and adjusted the microphone before he began to speak.

"Thanks folks, I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to have found a new home here at the Tower, of course my old home was also the Tower, but you know what I mean. I've been a Titan for almost 5 years now and I've fought the Hive-5 back in my own universe. It won't be any different here and I won't rest until the Hive-5 are captured and behind bars. And that especially goes for Raptor. I won't relent until that evil, lying and double crossing witch has been captured …"

The TV exploded in the Hive common room and the three villains shielded themselves from the flying debris. Raptor fell to her knees.

"I should have stayed with him. Why did I abandon him, why?"

Blackfire approached Raptor and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Well find a way to get him back Raptor, we will."

Raptor lashed out at the Tamaranian with all the fury of her dark energy, sending the woman flying into a concrete wall, where she left an outline of her figure as she fell to the floor in a daze.

"He's lost to me you idiot! Can't you see that he hates me now?" She wailed. "I've lost him, I've lost him forever, and with my rotten luck Terra's going to like him and make him hers."

No one else dared to console the sorceress.

TtTtTt TtTtTt TtTtTt

I know we're overdue for some Evil Gar and Raven action, just be patient, its coming. Just don't forget that Raven (not Raptor) hasn't given up on finding BB yet.

I also left you guys a little Easter egg in this chapter. Can you find it?

And now, since I complained about you guys for not reviewing I will acknowledge those who did with a mail bag!

Sun Xiao - "Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH for continuing this story! This is a wonderful story."

You're welcome. I guess I couldn't let it die on the vine.

Novus Ordo Seclorum - "My favorite scene was Raven rifling through the fridge only to find an old container of tofu...seemingly from a bygone era. It was a touching scene. I am a very nostalgic person and things like that tear at me. I can only imagine Raven's face... and what was going through her mind as she stood holding that container. Wondering where he could be and if he would ever return. Beautifully crafted."

It's funny how those scenes can sometimes come out of the blue. At first I was going to have Raven just make them lunch and then the tofu thing came out of nowhere.

Emerald and Amethyst Hero - "I knew Raptor was no Raven."

She isn't, but she's closer than you might think.

Your Humble Narrator Drewgie - "If I'd have known about this story, I would have reviewed already, and left you a little note. But I didn't. So now I will: GREAT STORY! Can't wait for the next chapter. Not just saying that either."

Thanks! It's always great to meet new reader/reviewers.

Techno Skittles - "Everyone gets pissed at someone in this chapter."

Ain't that the truth!

Downward Spiral 1 - " Honestly, I'm happy you had Raptor ditch BB, I don't like them together and even though she is very similar to Raven, she feels off to me."

I had you guys worried there for a while, didn't I? Poor BB, he was feeling lonely, but he should have known better.

Hinn-Raven - "Oh dear, now poor Beast Boy is with the Titans. THAT'S going to be interesting... It's going to be hard for him, that's all I know."

He had some soul searching to do, that much is certain.

GreenRock - "I'm also interesting in seeing where the Raven/Garfield plot will go."

Stay tuned

Hairul The Nightrage Beast - "Ach! Damn you Raptor for chickening out!"

She is definitely regretting her spur of the moment action.

gregthezombie - "excited to see how things develop between bb and terra and the reunion of gar and raven as enemies. Keep up the great work :)"

Thanks!
