I DON'T OWN THE TEEN TITANS.

I DO OWN THE PLOT OF THIS STORY.

NOTE: THIS IS DEDICATED TO NATASHA (DON'T ASK WHAT HAPPENED TO NIAMH). THIS IS ALSO DEDICATED TO THE HARD DECISIONS IN LIFE.

THE THREE SIDED COIN

Where does good turn to evil? There are two ways in life. The easy way and the right way. The saddest thing in the world to see is a hero who picks the easy way over the right way.

IN SLADE LAIR…

Darkness surrounded the two as they trained together. Only shards of light broke through.

Beast Boy was exhausted. He has been training since morning. He was in human form. For some strange reason, Slade told him not to change his form into any animal. What was Slade trying to do?

"You can do better than that Apprentice. Come on. FIGHT!"

"Just let me change and then I'll be fit to…"

"NO! The way you fought with the Titans is dead."

Beast Boy's green eye burnt intensely in the darkness. Through Slade one-eye mask, he could see that his training confused Beast Boy.

"Apprentice," he beckoned "Come over here."

Beast Boy inched forward in tiny steps, not sure what was about to happen. He thought that he was going to be punished for questioning his master's orders.

"When you fought with the Titans" Slade began "You always changed form but never your heart."

"Eh…what?" Beast Boy said hoping that Slade wouldn't make a deep and meaningful speech that he wouldn't understand.

"Gorillas, Dinosaurs, Birds, Fish, Sea life mammals, Reptiles, cells…the list goes on. You've turned into more animals than a zoo has. But, you have the mind of human. Animals are primal creatures. They fight for survival. That is what I want you to be. In a human form, you will have the cunning of human, but as an animal, you are a force to be reckoned with. That's what I want."

"But why? I don't understand."

"Think about. One minute you're a human, next you're a wild lion, then a bear, and so on. This training is to help you fully change. You must think like the animal you've become. You must change your form both physically and mentally."

Beast Boy understood. And in a slightly guilty way, he was excited to improve himself.

Slade's mask hid a wide smile behind it. He knew that Beast Boy understood what he was trying to do.

"Put this on." Slade ordered his apprentice, as he threw a suit of clothing of some sort.

"What is it?" Beast Boy questioned.

"You'll need it for tonight." Slade said just before he walked out of the lair.

"Why? What's happening tonight?"
