Hello all Solo Gamer here with the next chapter of The Beast Inside! Logan and the Titans have been getting along over the past few weeks, but they've begun to notice some odd things about their once shapeshifting friend, and something seems to be nagging the green teen. What seems to be haunting him? Read on to find out!

The night sky was rendered even darker than usual due to the absence of the moons glow this night, as clouds rolled over the luminous orb. A lone teen sat, his feet dangling over the edge of the tower, staring down at the dark abyss below him. Though his body was still in the cool night wind, his mind was an ever changing symphony of thoughts and feelings. Memories of the past surfaced and resurfaced, feelings he once thought buried and gone returned from the dead. He couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happened pretty soon.

He'd been back for about four weeks already and he'd settled back in comfortably enough. His team still kind of expected him to revert back to the old him, the carefree changeling that didn't have to worry about losing control of himself.

The kid who didn't have blood on his hands.

They still didn't understand that that was all just an act, a mask, but he wasn't about to tell them either. They'd find out soon enough anyway. Robin was the sidekick of one of the greatest detectives of all time, and Cyborg and Raven were no slouches either. Starfire….

Logan couldn't help the smile that crossed his face at the thought of the Tameranian princess. She was the only one who didn't care about his changes. She accepted him back as if he never left in the first place. Over the weeks as he settled back in a growing sense of foreboding was growing in the pit of his stomach. His instincts would spike at random moments, scaring the crap out of him. He was sure that something was coming, he just didn't know what.

"You know, you have a room in the tower for a reason."

He grinned slightly as the resident sorceress floated down to sit next to him on the edge of the tower.

"Yeah, but I've been sleeping outside under the stars for so long, and with my enhanced instincts it makes it really hard to sleep inside," replied Logan as he turned to look at his friend.

Her hood was down as she stared back at him, emerald eyes meeting amethyst, a small smile on her face. An awkward silence followed after their exchange. Of all his friends, him and Raven for some reason had the hardest time talking to each other alone. It was another one of those situations where his instincts were trying to tell her something, but he couldn't quite place what it was. Deciding to break the silence, Logan spoke,

"So what brings you up here?"

Logan raised an eyebrow when he saw the small blush cover her face and she raised her hand to cover her face with her hood. Logan reached out and grabbed her hand, stopping her from raising her hood. She looked at him slightly shocked as he spoke again,

"Stop it. You know even back then I hated it when you had your hood up all the time."

Raven in turn blushed harder and lowered her hand back down into her lap. She looked down for a moment as her face shifted between expressions. Logan figured she was talking to her emotions since that's what she used to do when she did. He waited patiently for her to look up, and when she finally did she was blushing harder than he'd ever seen her before.

"L-logan look….ummm when you left three years back….we were just becoming friends….and…."

As Raven stammered on Logan began to piece together what this confrontation was about in his head and started blushing himself. He'd had a crush, ok he was in love with her, on Raven all those years ago, but when his situation arose he hadn't had the time to give it much thought. Now that he was back…he really hoped this was going to be what he thought it was going to be.

"Well I've had some time to sit and think about it…a-and I've come to terms with my feelings and….what is that?"

Logan cursed mentally in his head and looked behind him to where Raven was pointing. He could see what she was pointing at. A small object was shakily flying towards the two. The longer he looked at it, the more that odd sense of something happening filled his gut. He felt as if he knew what….

Oh shit….

Raven saw the look on his face and knew something was up.

"Logan what's going on?"

Logan didn't reply and simply continued to stare at the approaching figure. As it grew closer the pair began to make out features on the flying object. Raven squinted her eyes.

"Is that a….?"

Suddenly the figure nosedived and quicker than Raven could react Logan launched himself into the air, green energy rolling around him to form glowing wings on his back as he flew after the now free falling kid. Moments later when Logan reappeared on the roof holding a little bundle in his arms, Raven was waiting with arms crossed and foot tapping.

"Logan what's going on?" she asked again, this time with more authority.

He sighed. He knew she wasn't going to let this go, but he didn't need the rest of the team hearing about this, at least not until morning. He knew Raven, and she was just as stubborn as before he left if not more. He was going to have to convince her to keep this quiet until morning, but what could he use to do so? Suddenly an idea formed in his head. It was risky and might get him beat to a pulp, but since when have his plans been anything but? He walked up to Raven silently as apprehension began growing in her gut. He locked eyes with her and her heart began to race. Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, Logan did the unthinkable.

He leaned down and kissed the dark sorceress. He held it for a few moments before he backed away. Raven's face was completely red as she stared at Logan with a shocked and dazed look. He wasn't immune to the embarrassment either, a huge blush appeared on his face as well.

"I know you want to know what's going on, but I need you to keep this a secret for right now. Just until the morning, ok?"

She nodded, still lost in a blissful daze, then quickly teleported away. Logan sighed again as his blush faded. He knew he just opened up a whole other door that he wasn't sure if he could handle at the moment, but it was too late to go back now. He walked over to the sleeping bag he kept and placed the small bundle on top of it, and began to check it over. He knew he was in for it tomorrow, but something was still bothering him. The uneasy feeling his instincts were giving him didn't fade, they'd only strengthened.

'Tomorrow should be interesting.'

When morning came and Cyborg, who was the last to wake, walked into the commons room he wasn't expecting the sight that awaited him. Hell, he wasn't sure what to make of it. Robin, Starfire, and Raven, who was sporting a huge blush for some reason, were all staring in shock at Logan. The green teen himself was in the kitchen cooking breakfast, but that's not what had the others shocked. That would be the girl standing next to him while the two laughed about something, oblivious to the rest of the team's presence. Cyborg quickly joined the realm of the shocked as Logan chuckled and leaned down and kissed the girl on the forehead, much to her chagrin.

That snapped Raven out of her stupor and an irritated look appeared on her face.

"Logan," she said with slight anger in her voice, "Who is this?"

At the sound of her voice the two jumped, finally becoming aware of the others presence, and turned to look at the team. The girl's face took on a look of panic as she turned and hid behind Logan. Logan just sighed, and grabbed the girl's hand after he turned the stove off.

'Looks like pancakes will have to wait,' he thought as he walked over to the couch, beckoning the others to follow.

Once the team was situated on the couch, Logan stood in front of them with the girl at his side still clutching onto his hand. She looked to be around the age of twelve or thirteen. Raven black hair held in a low hanging ponytail spilled down to the middle of her back. She had porcelain skin, and reached around Logan's chest in height. She was clad in a pair of black sweats, matching boots, and a sky blue shirt. Her ice blue eyes looked at the others in slight fear, though they could tell she was trying to be brave.

"Logan, who is she?" asked Robin, going into detective mode.

Logan looked down at the girl and nudged her forward with his arm. She looked up and glared at him, but her glare was met with the amused grin of the green teen. She sighed, knowing she wasn't going to get out of it. She stepped forward, her right hand reaching up to rub the back of her head as she began to speak.

"Hey….uh…I'm….Logan's sister Da…"

She was cut off by Cyborg before she could finish her introduction.

"Whoa…whoa…whoa. You can't be Logan's sister. Logan doesn't have a sister!"

"I am too his sister you tin can!" she yelled back at him, annoyed at being interrupted and told she wasn't who she said she was.

"Logan never told us about a sister before he left," said Robin.

"That's because she wasn't my sister then," explained Logan.

"I am the confused. How is the tiny earth female your sister friend Logan?" asked Starfire.

"I'm not tiny!" the girl yelled, her eyes flashing bright neon green.

That got the teams attention. Logan sighed and nudged her arm again to get her attention. When she looked up at him he spoke,

"Your eyes are glowing short stack."

He tilted his head back to avoid the smack to the face she tried to give him. She floated up and yelled in his grinning face,

"I am not a short stack you jolly green giant!"

She attempted to glare at him, but it turned into an irritated pout that Logan couldn't help but laugh at.

"Haha of course you aren't, but you might want to put your feet back on the ground," he said as he pointed towards the floor.

She looked down and let out an eep before planting her feet back on the ground. The team watched the exchange with amusement written all over their faces, except for Raven. She was still a little upset about the kiss she saw earlier, and was going to talk to Logan the minute she got him alone.

"So are you his sister or not? Who are you?" she asked, trying to keep her voice nonchalant.

"If there are no more interruption I'll tell you," she muttered.

After no one spoke she began her introduction again,

As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted," she started as she glared at Cyborg who had a sheepish grin on his face, "I AM Logan's sister! But, I'm better known as…"

She paused as a bright ring appeared around her waist and split into two as it traveled up vertically up her body. When the rings disappeared the girl in front of them was changed. Her hair was now a snow white color, and her eyes were the neon green they had flashed before. Her outfit had changed into a pair of black and white spandex pants, white boots, and a black and white half shirt that's color was divided by a diagonal line. She was wearing a black elbow length glove on her right hand in contrast to her white sleeve, while a white one was on her left.

The team looked on in shock as the girl that was in their living room changed. This was only raising more questions in their minds.

"Dani Phantom! Ghost teen extraordinaire!"

And that's the chapter folks! Dani Phantom and Logan are brother and sister?! How did that happen? How did that come to be? How is she tied into Logan's time gone, and most importantly…why is she here? Come back next chapter to find out! And be sure to check out my other fic Hydromancer!
