Authors note: I wanted to say "he" when talking about the beast instead of "it" but it got too confusing when talking about the beast or beast boy so I just used "it"

Also, this is my first fanfiction

———————————————

He's been having trouble with the beast constantly wanting to help fight and protect during battle, but that form is always his last resort because he can't control it when out.

He's scared the beast is going to somehow get out during battle and hurt someone, his top priorities when fighting is to protect innocent citizens and to stop the

villain/villains from hurting them.

He tries hard not to hurt the villain to badly no matter who they are (fighting is obviously going to hurt a little).

When in any animal form he's never fully in control (he's mostly in control but not fully), that's why whenever he turns into an animal his eyes are completely white because that's how the beast's eyes are. The beast is in more control wile they're in an animal form but still have restrictions.

The beasts form is different. With it beast boy has zero control, he's just watching as the beast does whatever it wants. Now when B isn't in control he can communicate with it but a lot of the time the beast won't listen.

BB has come to terms with having to share a body with the beast sense the instance, they get along pretty well now. When the team has free time, mostly at night, he'll let the beast out just to get its energy out while staying on the island and away from people.

That's probably why it wants to help out during a battle, because it wants to protect beast boy and his friends, and because it likes to be out.

Even when they're not fighting and just hanging out, it'll mess with beast boy. Every once in awhile it'll get him to stop walking or talking out of nowhere, mess him up while playing video games, or just making his arms move (like tap the table or something).

Beast boy never really minds those things, they're harmless. But the battle is different, there's a chance it could hurt someone.

Another big issue with this is actually pretty bad. During battle and the beast is getting restless, beast boy panics. He'll hurt himself like scratching his arm badly or make simple "mistakes" that might hurt him.

The beast can feel the pain beast boy feels and vice versa. Getting hurt or bumping into something while shifting will stop the process and he'll revert back into a human. This pushes the beast back so beast boy has better control.

He hates hurting it and himself, but he can't help it. He'd rather hurt himself a little then do something lethal to someone else. Nonetheless, it worries him.

So he went to his best friend and doctor he knows

I hope you enjoyed

Also, I know you probably came here for the whole cyborg helping beast boy thing but it'll be in the next chapter I promise. I was going to Put it in this chapter but I wanted to explain why he needs help first and that turned out longer then I thought it would.

Thank you for reading.
