Raven and Beast Boy walked out of the portal and stepped into Titans Tower. Cyborg, Starfire and Robin were sat on the sofa watching a film.
"How was Azarath? Find any answers?" Robin asked.
"Unfortuntely we find no answers to our problem" Raven replied.
the alarm went off seconds later.
"Its Johnny Rancid" Robin said.
"Again? we only fought him last week" Cyborg complained.
"Titans, except for Raven and Beast Boy, Go!" Robin shouted.
Cyborg, Starfire and Robin rushed out of the tower to fight Rancid.
.
"I guess its just us two then" Beast Boy said.
"Beast Boy, captain of stating the obvious" Raven said to her self.
"Why don't we play a game to get to know each other?" Beast Boy suggested.
"Sure, except we are not playing a game" Raven agreed.
"Your room, My room, Sofa or the roof?" Beast Boy asked.
"Sofa" Raven replied in her usual monotone voice.
they sat on the sofa facing each other.
"So we are just asking each other a question?" Raven asked.
"Yep. any question. we can have one pass each if we don't want to answer the question. you can start" Beast Boy answered.
.
"okay" Raven said "Are the doom patrol your actual parents?"
"No. they adopted me after the accident" Beast Boy replied
"What accident?" Raven asked.
"Not your turn to ask the question. its mine" Beast Boy replied "what do you think of yourself?"
"I don't really know. I guess im Timid but not shy. I am happy but i don't express it that much. I'm brave and not that pretty i guess. I'm just a plain demon" Raven replied.
"Your not plain. I agree with you except on the part that your not pretty. I think your beautiful. The most beautiful person i've met" He replied.
Raven smiled and blushed as he called her beautiful. She could feel Happy and Love dance in her mind.
"Thanks... So my turn to ask the question" she replied.
He nodded and smiled instead of talking.
"What accident?" She asked.
"I guess it starts when i was a child. I had blonde hair, blue eyes and tanned skin. I grew up in Africa with my biological parents: Marie and Mark Logan who were geneticists, scientists, geniuses. They were great, i loved them.
One day i went into the jungle like i usually did. I saw a monkey. Not just any monkey, it was a West African Green Monkey. It bit me on my arm. I ran to my parents. They ran some tests on me, it had turned out that the monkey gave me a rare disease called Sakutia. Sakutia is uncurable and kills you slowly and painfully within days. My parents were already working on a cure as thats why we moved to Africa. Within hours they found a cure and without hesistation they injected me with it. My skin turned Green, my hair turned from blonde to green, my eyes from blue to green, my ears grew longer and i had fangs. I was outcasted by everyone in my village except for my parents and King Tawaba.
It wasn't long before I found out that i could shapeshift into animals. I could only turn into small animals then. We found out when my mother was being attacked by a Black Mamba, i turned into a mongoose on instinct. I... ate the snake and turned back into my self. It freaked everone out.
A month after my first shapeshifting accident we went on a boat trip. My parents looked worried for a second then turned to me. they told me to change into a bird and fly away. I asked why. They didn't answer. they just said they loved me and told me to fly away again. I did as i was told and turned into a bird and flew away. i landed on a treeand looked back to them. The next thing i saw was the boat going over a waterfall and my parents falling to their death"
"Thats horrible. I'm sorry. I never knew" Raven said.
"Its fine. thats not even the worst part" Beast Boy said "My turn: Why do you feel the need to isolate your self?"
"Because my powers get out of hand. I could kill all of you. Its better to be alone and you guys are safe then my being around you and you all die" She said.
"You think your alone Raven but your not, We love you Rae, You dont need to keep things to your self. I wouldn't care if i got hurt by you. I, we can help you, you don't need to go through this alone. Your never alone" He smiled.
"How are you always this positive? You have have the best advise and help me the most" She said "My turn to ask the question, What else happened to you? you said that that was not the worst. What else happened?"
"Okay. I will tell you but you must promise to never tell any of the titans" He replied.
"I wont tell anyone, I promise" She said.
"I saw my parents fall to their deaths. I turned backinto a bird and flew down to the bottom of the waterfall just in case they somehow survived. they didn't. The water turned red with blood. All of a sudden it went dark. A sack was placed over my head. I was being kidnapped.
I woke up in a different place. This place was new. I coud tell. This wasn't even Africa anymore. I was in America. A man walked in the room. He was tall, had dark hairand looked evil. He said his name was Nickolas Galtry. Galtry liked to torture me every day, he beat me, whipped me, stabbed me, shot me. He did anything to hurt me but nt to kill me. He said he needed me. For months i was tortured. One day Galtry came in. I expected him the beat me again but he threw a gun at me. He placed a collar on my to stop me from using my powers. It was a shock collar.
Galtry told me to steal some money from a bank. He threatened me. I had to do what he said, I was too weak to fight. I hadn't had any food for days. once a week he would give me a glass of water and a piece of meat that was uncooked.
I did everything he asked for. This went on for a couple of years. I was told to steal from another bank. I was too tired, too weak. I needed to escape. I purposely set of th alarm. The police arrived. I told them everything. They believed me and arrested Galtry and his assossiates.
I was left on the streets for a bit. I needed a home, a family. I found the Doom Patrols head quarters. I broke into their building. They caught me, They were going to arrest me but decided that i could join the team because of my powers. I told them what had happened. after a week, Elasti-girl and Mento adopted me as their son. I joined them on missions and helped them. I fought villains like the brotherhood of evil all the time. I knew how they worked. The last Doom Patrol mission i went on was when the Brotherhood captured the rest the the Doom Patrol. Mento told me the stop the Brotherhood. The Doom Patrol were going to die. The choices were: save the Doom Patrol and le the Brotherhood get away or Get the Brotherhood and allow The Doom Patrol to die. I couldn't let my family die so i saved them.
Mento had a go at me for not following orders. The rest of them were trying to calm Mento down. I left them after that mission. I was back on the streets. Then I met you guys"
"That was aweful. How could you go through all of that and still b happy and tell jokes?" She asked.
"Thats my secret, Im not happy. I hid behind a happier I act, the less depressed i get" He said.
Raven got up and hugged him.
"That for everything youve done" She said.
