Chapter 2: "Can I talk to you?"

WARNING

mentions self-harm kinda-

(again look up "list if suicide crisis lines" if you are having any kind of mental health issues in the case that you don't already have the help you need)

Authors note: This is where the story starts and you'll get some Beast boy and Cyborg friendship :)

Also, I forgot to mention last time why I wanted to make this. I've noticed how in fanfics the beast is Normally seen as a kind of enemy but I feel like the beast isn't evil, he's just a giant teddy bear with anger issues.

———————————————

Beast Boy doesn't know what to do. He's still letting the beast out in free time safely but it's never enough, it has too much energy.

You'd probably barely notice the newest scars if you saw his arms because he already had so many from his past, but there are still scratches that are new and are just scabbed over.

It's not like he wants to be doing it but it feels like he doesn't have a choice. After every fight where Beast boy ends up having to do it, he feels bad, guilty even.

The beast has its own emotions separated from Beast boy, but they can still feel each others. He can feel that the beast is upset after it happens but try's to forgive him, it knows why he does it and it tries not to cause trouble but it has anger issues.

Due to this BB realizes he'd need help if he's going to fix this, but he doesn't know how to ask for help.

He hates asking for help, it makes him feel like he's bothering the person and they'll think he can't handle anything. People already see him as a kid, but, people's lives are at stake.

If the beast gets out while it's mad it could and probably will cause an extremely dangerous situation.

But who should he talk to?

Robin? No, he'll probably get mad that he didn't know sooner.

Starfire? No, she'll want to help but probably won't be able to help in a correct way.

Raven? Maybe, but she'd probably tell/show him how to control the beast but he just wants to know how to keep the beast calm during a fight and not to get mad, he's learned that he needs to share the body not take it.

Cyborg is probably his best bet. Cy is his best friend, he already knows about BB's past and old scars because he's kinda the team's doctor, And he trusts Cy. Also, Cyborg was the most helpful emotionally when the beast got stronger.

"Hey, um...Cy" despite all that, he's still pretty nervous. "Yup" Cyborgs under the T-car fixing the *insert car part here* because it got a little messed up during the last fight.

"Never mind you seem busy, I should go" wow good going BB "no It's ok I'm pretty much done anyway, just gatta tighten this backup, aaaaaaand DONE" he came out from under the car and walked up to Beast boy.

"What's up. Hay are you ok" he can tell how nervous Beast boy is. "Um, yeah, I just...need to talk to you, It's really important"

"ok. how about we go to the med bay, where there's some more privacy" that's actually a good idea, it's very easy to hear someone talking in the garage while outside of the door. Beast boy nodded.

Once they got to the med bay B told cyborg about his problem. "...so I just wanted to know if there was any kinda science stuff you could do to help, maybe"

Cyborg has known BB had issues with the beast in the past, he was the one that convinced Raven to help him learn to calm his mind. That led Beast boy to have a better relationship With the beast, but it makes sense that he's still a little scared of using it in battle.

Beast boy is the person who gets hurt most on the team due to the fact that he can only really fight up close, because of this villains tend to target him. Cyborg would know this cause he treats the wounds. However, he had no idea he was getting hurt on purpose.

"Is this why you jumped in front of Mammoth when he was running at me" Cyborg hated when B took hits for him "yeah kinda, but add in the part where I didn't want you to get hurt". The fight had been going on for a while at that point and Cyborg already had a lot of damage to his body, especially in his right leg. Beast Boy had jumped in front of Cy when he noticed Mammoth running at him, got hurt pretty had.

"But do you think we can do anything about it" of course, there was, Cyborg was not going to just sit around and watch his brother like best friend hurt himself. "I'm sure we can figure something out, especially if we can get Raven to help. But I wish you would have told me when this thing first started" Beast boy knew he was going to say that.

He nodded and said, "ok, thanks Cy. It means a lot that you care so much". He started to walk away but when he reached the door Cy called out "Hay wait, thanks for telling me"

Cyborg was always grateful when Beast boy told him when something was wrong. It's not that he liked what was wrong, it's that beast boy tends to hide things, like injuries. One time beast boy had gotten back from patrol with a broken arm, the only reason they figured it out was that he yelped when Cy grabbed his arm to show him something.

But Cy has noticed that he's getting better at telling him about injuries, and it's such a relief to not have to worry after a battle.
