The Funeral
Meanwhile...
"He fell into the water over here!" Raven said deep in concentration as she used her dark magic to remove most of the water from the area where Beast Boy fell.
"Alright, Rob, Star and I will look here. You mind soul searching for him again Rave?" Cyborg replied as he jumped into the now shallow water. Raven nodded as she began to meditate, searching all of Jump City for her dead friend. Cyborg had a hunch that Beast Boy was able to swim after he fell into the water even if it wasn't too far. Raven searched the entirety of Jump even though they all knew the truth. He was dead.
"Team this isn't our main concern right now." Robin spoke up, "We need t-" he was interrupted as Raven had snapped out of her meditation and was now staring the boy wonder down.
"Robin, Beast Boy was one of us man. We have to try, no matter what it seems like." Cyborg spoke, trying to reason with the teen leader.
"Friend Beast Boy might not be gone. We must look for him" Starfire said as she continued to wade through the shallow water where the titan was shot down.
"He IS our top priority. Understand? Robin." Raven said angrily as she stopped glaring at him and resumed her meditation.
"He almost killed us guys. Your really looking for a person who wants us dead? Thats like turning ourselves into Slade!" Robin retorted, anger and sadness clouding his mind.
"What!?" Raven exclaimed as she once again snapped out of her meditation. She flew at the boy wonder but was stopped by Cyborg's powerful arms.
"He didn't mean it Rae." Cyborg said as he attempted to restrain her.
"You bastard." Raven said to Robin as she slowly calmed down. "All he ever did was protect this team. When you defected to Slade's side he was the first to forgive you. When the events with Terra happened, he was the first to accept her back into our family. Above all, he is a founding member of this team. After all that you still have the nerve to say that he wants to kill us. You know Slade, and you as well as I saw the suit Beast Boy was wearing. Slade was controlling him. Just like he controlled you." She ended with a glare.
"He is gone Raven. Accept it" Robin said as he walked out of the now shallow Jump City Bay and towards his Birdcycle.
"You are the most despicable person I've ever met Robin. I hope you die in hell" Raven said as she broke down, still in despair.
"He may be right Rae, we've been looking for weeks and we haven't found any trace of him" Cyborg said sadly as he hugged her.
"Did Friend Beast Boy really die in this water?" Is there no way to find him?" Starfire asked shakily, beginning to cry.
The next day...
"Nice to see you finally made it." Cyborg said to titans east as they arrived.
"Es muy mal. Beast Boy es bueno amigo," Mas and Menos said with their heads down.
"Beast Boy was a brother and we are forever indebted to him," Aquaboy looking straight at Robin's emotionless face.
"I miss the little guy," Bee added as she began to cry softly.
"I-I just joined east a little while ago but I've heard and seen how great he was." Jinx said awkwardly.
"Everyone is here. Let us commence the funeral." Starfire said trying to look happy. Everyone would take a turn to speak about their deceased comrade.
"Beast Boy was more than a friend. He was a mentor, brother and most of all, a good soul." Aquaboy said quickly to avoid crying in front of all of Jump City.
"He was always there when things got bad and never gave up." Bee said, through tears.
"Es vamos amigo" Mas and Menos said at the same time. After titans east said their piece about Beast Boy, titans west got onto the podium with solemn faces and eyes buried with sorrow, except Robin.
"Friend Beast Boy was like the brother to me. He would say humorous things to make me laugh and was never mad with anybody." Starfire said trailing off into thought.
"BB was always ready to have fun. He loved Jump and never rested to protect it. Without him, life will never be the same," Cyborg said. Tears running down his face as he finally realized he would never see Beast Boy again.
"B...Beast Boy was the heart and soul of the team," Raven said regaining her composure, "If he laughed, we laughed. If he cried, the team cried. Most of all, now that he has died...so has the team. Nothing is the same. The tower seems boring. Going into battle only reminds us of him. Training is now harsher than ever without his bad jokes." Raven rambled as she began to cry. Starfire walked up and put a hand on her shoulder, calming her down. Raven solemly walked back to the group and stared at Robin as he began his speech.
"Beast Boy was definitely an asset. He will be missed but he also needs to be replaced as soon as possible so that we can pursue Slade and stop him from causing any more damage to our precious city. Beast Boy won't be forgotten but the time for mourning isn't now. For this reason I have decided that Flash will now become one of titans west instead of titans east." Robin ended as he turned to look at Flash. He had been silent the whole time and even refused to give Beast Boy a tribute out of fear of messing up. He sat at the back of the group silently crying as he remembered his friend. Robin's comment however, snapped him out of it as he rose and glared at the titan leader, much like the rest of the titans.
"Have you no sorrow for your lost teammate Robin?" Bee asked him at last.
"I do, but I also know that Slade is out there right now plotting to do something even mote horrible. Beast Boy will have to wait." Robin replied, harshly.
"You really are consumed by your hatred," Raven commented cooly as she glared at her leader.
"I will not take Beast Boy's spot. He deserves that spot on the team, even if he's dead," Flash said as he looked at his team.
"Fine. I don't care. Slade is out there right now plotting to destroy Jump while we just sit around here and mourn!" Robin yelled as he got onto his birdcycle and rode off. Raven quickly flew after him anger clouding her vision. She tried to stop him with her magic but her emotions were too out of control for her to do anything. She then headed toward the tower to have a 'talk' with their leader.
