To Miss Geek: Thanks! Emotions will definitely run wild in this story, so buckle up! Nightwing is in for a tricky ride. Glad you like it, you're a great reviewer.

A/N: Sorry about the late update, I was in the hospital. I was injured pretty badly in dance, my pointe shoe literally snapped in half and then the doctors realized that I was dangerously underweight so I had to stay overnight. Enjoy the next chapter! I worked really hard on it; there will also be the first Beast Boy POV in this chapter. THIS CHAPTER IS DEDICATED TO Thebookthief18, thank you for everything you said. There need to be more people like you in this world.

Wayne Manor-Evening

Nightwing POV

I'm waiting as patiently as I can by the Bat plane, but no matter what I do I still can't get my mind off of Starfire. What if she's hurt, what if she's crying? I refuse to think of the inevitable but this time I can't help myself. I can't seem to calm the panic I'm feeling. "Hurry up guys! We need to be there by tomorrow!" I yell.

The Team hobbles out of the door carrying their bags and I bite my tongue afraid of blasting them with my fury. "Throw those in and get in your seats quickly!"

Raven stops and looks at me worriedly. "You need to stay calm, you're still not well enough for this mission."

I look at her and frown. "I don't care if I die; I need to make sure Starfire is safe! Hurry the hell up!"

"Dude, don't you dare yell at her! You have no right!" Beast Boy shouts from a couple feet away.

I look at him in incredulity. "I have no right?" I fake chuckle and walk over to him. "I am the leader Beast Boy, who are you to tell me I have no right to yell orders?"

Beast Boy drops his bags and his face twists into a scowl. "I'm speaking English aren't I? I SAID don't yell at her. I don't care who you are, you have no right!" He yells in my face.

I can't deal with silly petty skirmishes right now so I do what any guy would do in the face of danger. I swing out and my fist connects with his green face. I feel my knuckles split open and the warmth of blood seeping out. He doubles over and stands up quickly, his mouth dripping blood. "I am the leader!" I yell at him, it felt so good to release that frustration, but I regret it immediately.

I see a blur of green and suddenly I'm on the ground. Beast Boy is pummeling my face with his right fist and each time he hits me I see swirls of color. I hear the thumping of footsteps and he's lifted off of me there's a bunch of shouts and yells and I roll over to spit out blood. I stand and Babs quickly helps me to my feet.

Cyborg is standing between the two of us, but Beast Boy's growling and his hands are turning into claws. "What the hell happened?" Cyborg shouts.

Raven runs over to Beast Boy and places her hands on his chest. "Guys back away!" She yells at us.

The Titans look at her curiously but we all obey. Babs is wiping at my face with a napkin but I can't stop watching what's happening in front of me. Beast Boy drops to his knees screaming in pain and Raven is yelling something at him. "Cyborg what's going on?" I ask.

Cyborg looks at me with a frightened expression. "I don't know! One minute he's normal and the next he's in pain. How hard did you hit him?"

Beast Boy screams in pain again and Jason appears by my side. "What the hell is happening?"

Raven stands and backs away as Beast Boy curls up and breathes heavily. Raven looks at me in disgust. "Look what you did!" She shouts.

"I only punched him in the face!" I say back to her.

She sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. "Beast Boy has a current medical condition that renders him unstable during confrontations, you triggered his animal side."

I look at Beast Boy and I suddenly feel guilty and stupid, Batman is going to drill me about this later. "How do we stop it?"

Raven's eyes shut momentarily, and I suddenly realize that she's trying to open a mental link to Beast Boy. Her eyes open and she looks at me. "Apologize." She snarls at me.

I hold up my hands in defense and look at the green form on the ground. "Beast Boy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell, Raven deserves better."

His breathing slows and Raven looks at me gratefully. She looks at him and places a hand on his back. "Garfield, suppress the Beast." She urges in a soothing tone.

He tries to stand and Raven helps him. His nose is bleeding along with his lip, guilt ripples through me and I try not to think of what Starfire would say to me in this situation. I feel disgusted at myself for allowing my temper to get out of control. I feel Cyborg clap me on the back and I clear my throat. "Beast Boy, what's going on?" I ask cautiously.

Raven and Beast Boy look at each other and he nods. "Lately the Beast inside of me has been trying to take over; my human side has been dwindling."

Babs gasps slightly and I nod. "How do we stop it?"

Raven glares at me. "There is no 'we' you've done enough."

Beast Boy looks at her in appreciation. "Rae, relax. I'm okay now." He looks at me and smirks, it doesn't look as honest as it seems. "I do plan on a rematch however."

I sigh in relief that he's forgiven me but regret still tugs heavily on my chest. Jason sputters. "Wait a second! What 'Beast'?" He asks.

Beast Boy looks at him agitatedly. "The one that dwells within my supernatural ability, and when I get angry I lose control of him." He looks at me next. "Raven's been helping me suppress the Beast, but he keeps coming back. She went into my mind last night, that's why you saw us in bed together."

"Bunch of pervs." Raven mumbles unintelligently.

Cyborg crosses his metallic arms. "What does this mean for you? Are you going to permanently become the Beast?"

Beast Boy smirks. "No, Raven and I are going to find the guy who created the Sakutia disease that turned me green. I'm going to get the cure and become human again."

The Titans drop their mouths in astonishment and Raven pales visibly, even though her grey complexion already made her look deathly ill. I blink a couple times and try to process what I've just heard; before I can say anything about it Beast Boy grabs his bags and walks over to the ship. "Let's get a move on guys, we need to save Starfire!" He yells and looks at me. "Do I sound familiar?" He asks sanctimoniously, a punch in the face could never stop him from being a pretentious asshole.

Cyborg claps and frowns. "Time to get a move on, we packed extra supplies in case we get stuck or anything, I'm piloting so make sure you talk to green bean about that skirmish, ok?" He says in a low tone.

I nod and grit my teeth; I'm interrupted by a hand gripping my shoulder. I know who it is before I turn around and I brace for the worst. I sigh and look at Batman, his cowl is on and he looks angrier than usual. "You're making a mistake." He says in a contrite tone.

I shake my head, too muffled with confusion to even risk the effort in understanding him. My stress levels are peaking at dangerous. "Leave me alone." I watch the Titans pile into the ship and argue over window seats. I'm too anxious to fight with Bruce and I'm too wired to not want to.

Batman frowns. "You are showing weakness, the tricks of the heart are as villainous as the Joker. Don't trick yourself into believing something is there when it's clearly not."

I stare at him in annoyance. "Don't tell me not to save her, save your breath. Starfire has meant more to me than anything on this planet, and anyone, go to hell Bruce." I huff and turn towards the ship.

"Lead me there." He mumbles more to himself, I don't think he wanted me to hear him but I did. I shut the latch on the jet door and toss my bags into the correct spot. The Ship looks like a regular jet, except it has a larger fuel tank and a giant 'T' logo stamped on its side. The passenger seats are lined up like a regular plane but they're bigger and cozier. There are two separate aisles.

Cyborg has a headset on and he's pressing a ton of buttons in the cockpit. I look behind me and see Babs, she waves me over and I sit down to buckle my seat belt. Babs looks out the window at Bruce's retreating figure. "Did he chew you out?" She asks in a knowing tone.

I shrug. "Somewhat, I told him to go to hell."

Babs laughs, I feel like she enjoys it when Bruce and I fight. "What did he say?"

"He said lead me there." Babs laughs and starts to organize some of her weapons in her bag. Jason is leaning over my seat and talking to her about something unintelligible, I've tuned out completely. I'm still pissed at Jason, but I guess you can't cure stupidity.

I rub the back of my neck in exhaustion, I miss Starfire's shoulder massages. I yearn for her touch, her smile, and her confidence. Something I've been lacking lately is confidence and pride. I may be the famous boy wonder and the mysterious Nightwing but ever since I've walked out of her life I've felt like I've been living a lie. I don't have her happiness or her joy to keep me going anymore. The jet lurches and we gently lift into the air, I feel the cabin shake as we hit the atmospheric layers and before I know it Earth looks like a tiny blue and green marble drifting in the empty void of black space.

A tap snaps me out of my reverie and I look to see who it is. "Hey Raven." I say in a fake light tone.

She frowns at me and I shiver. "I can read emotions you know, yours are the most pronounced right now and its bothering me, so I have to ask. Are you thinking about Starfire?"

"Well I am now." I smugly say back.

She flicks my face and I wince. "You know what I mean." She grumbles in her monotone voice.

I sigh and nod and look around at the others. Everyone is engulfed in their own activities and conversations so they won't hear me. "I can't stop thinking about her, I feel like something is wrong."

Raven smirks knowingly. "We're going to find her, but you need to relax. If you keep stressing out you'll inflict harm on others."

I wince. "Sorry about Beast Boy, I don't know what came over me."

She nods silently and looks like she's pondering something and I still feel like my apology isn't accepted. "You're also still not healed, you need rest."

I shake my head. "No, I need to get to Starfire."

"I know that, but we're still 23 hours away from her." She reaches out and places two fingers on my forehead, her eyes glow white. I feel a cooling sensation flow through my veins and my eyelids droop without my control.

"What are you doing to me?" I ask groggily, my voice sounds far away.

Raven retracts her hand slowly, her eyes fading to their normal color. "I'm inducing a nice nightmare free slumber for you. You'll wake up in a few hours nice and refreshed." She responds and walks away.

I look at her retreating figure and mentally thank her before I recline my seat and shut my eyes. Starfire is the last thing I think about before drifting off into the darkness of my mind.

Beast Boy POV

Raven comes back with a nice look on her face; she shuffles past me and takes a window seat next to me. I smirk at her, knowing well why she looks so content. "So you talk to Nightwing?"

She nods and looks at me, her purple eyes sparkle and I'm glad we're seated in the back of the jet where no one can see me admire her the way I do. "I didn't do much talking I just put his emotions at ease, they were literally screaming at me." She replies in her monotone voice.

I smirk lightly. "You can feel everyone's emotions on this jet right?"

She nods at me and I grin at her. "I want to know what Flash is feeling."

Her eyebrows shoot up in curiosity. "Why?" She mumbles.

I look over at him; he's looking at Jinx in awe as she scolds him about something incomprehensible. Even though she's rough on him he still looks at her like that, I don't understand why. "I want to know if what he feels for Jinx is true, you know what happened last time they had a relationship, it didn't end well." I say while still looking at them.

Raven sighs and is quiet for a moment, I look at her without her noticing and I observe that her hair is longer than it was before. It's hanging down around her face and resting comfortably on her cloak, it naturally twists into ringlets at the end. I reach out and lightly twist one of the ringlets around my finger. She turns to look at me and I sheepishly smile. "You're staring." She groans.

"I know." I reply in a deep tone.

She stares at me and I look deeply into her purple eyes. "Love." She whispers.

I twist the angle of my head in confusion, does she mean us? She notices my expression and points to Flash. "He loves her."

A look of realization crosses my face and I hope she doesn't notice. "Are you sure?" I ask. "Last time he said that he was caught with a member of the Justice League, remember Artemis?"

Raven nods. "I'm sure, last time he was unsure of what love was. Now that I sense his emotions there's nothing but pure veneration for her, meaning love."

I look at her perplexingly. "What emotions do you sense from me?" I ask in a low tone.

Her eyes betray her shock. "I try not to read your emotions, I usually block them out." She bites her lips subconsciously.

"Why?" I ask loudly.

She sighs. "I'm afraid of what people close to me think about me; I don't want to get upset because you're thinking I'm creepy or weird." She avoids my gaze momentarily.

I shake my head. "You're not creepy or weird, you're mysterious and beautiful. Don't block me out; tell me what I'm feeling." I demand in a soft tone.

Her cheeks turn a light shade of pink and she bites her lip harder and nods, her eyes go wide and I wonder if I did something wrong. She turns toward her window immediately and I swallow my pride. "What, what did you feel?" I ask in trivial alarm.

She shakes her head, her purple locks sending her scent around me. It wafts through my nose and I reach out and grab her hand. Her fingers clasp around mine and she looks at me in an odd way. "Admiration." She whispers and tries to avoid my gaze.

I nod and her face moves closer to mine. "Why admiration Beast Boy?" She asks.

"Call me Gar." I whisper back, hoping that I answered her question. Her face is so close to mine I can feel her breath flickering off of my skin. Her eyes are locked onto mine and I feel my own emotions swell. I know she's reading me, and I don't care. I want her to know how I feel about her. My face inches closer to hers and her eyes flicker to my lips; my eyes do the same and we both know what's about to happen. Our noses touch gently and her breath hitches. "Beast Boy." She whispers.

I smile at her. "Call me Gar." I whisper again and brush my lips against hers lightly, it's barely noticeable but I'm sure shivers are coursing down both of our spines. Her eyes connect with mine and she moves forward about to kiss me deeper when I hear a loud annoying chuckle coming from the aisle.

"Raven and Beast Boy sitting in a tree, G!" He sings in a playful tone. I look at Jason and roll my eyes, rivaling Raven's attitude.

"Dude, what the hell do you want?" I shout at him.

He looks at me and his eyebrows twitch up and down. "I just wanted to see you get some action, Babs and Nightwing are sleeping and Jinx only keeps yelling at Flash. Cyborg nearly threw me off the Ship so I needed someone to annoy." He shrugs and winks at me. "That Beast must be quite the feline attractor I might add." He finishes. His attempt at trying to be funny disgusts me.

I look back at Raven and she's facing the window. I roll my head back to Jason. "Why the hell are you so annoying?" I ask him.

He laughs and walks away, I recline my seat and stare at the ships ceiling. I don't realize that I'm still holding Raven's hand until I start to drift to sleep, I squeeze tighter and she returns it.

Nightwing POV

"Wake up Spiky; we're in the Vega System!" Cyborg booms into my ear.

I blearily open up my eyes and glare at the metallic man next to me. "Are we there yet?"

Cyborg chuckles. "The Ship is in autopilot, so wake up and make a plan so I can land this thing." He says.

I yawn and stand up; I look to my side and realize that Babs is gone. "Where is everyone?" I ask.

Cyborg flicks his hand indicting for me to follow him. I oblige and notice that at the end of the aisle in the opposite direction of the cockpit is a door. Cyborg opens it and to my surprise I see my team sitting around a large table with the letter 'T' on it. "Wow, I didn't know you added a room to the Ship?" I look around and everyone greets me, Raven has a superior look on her face. She's happy that she put me out for so long.

Cyborg takes a seat and they all look at me. I sigh and sit at the head of the table. "I see that all of you have changed into your costumes?" They nod and I continue. "We are going into unchartered territory, so in order for us to fight properly we need to fight in groups or small tag teams. Our main goal of this mission is to guard the ship, find Starfire, and destroy the person named Karras." I look around at their anxious faces. "We don't know what exactly has happened to Starfire, and I don't want to assume the worst, but we need to be prepared for the worst. Cyborg what have you researched so far on Tameran?"

Cyborg opens a panel on his arm. "So far Karras has been leader since Ruler Galfore's great demise. He recently has changed some policies regarding Tameran and some treaties pertaining to a group named the Citadel. It also says that he married former Princess Koriand'r." He looks at me expectantly.

Jason slaps the table. "So we're going after a married woman?" He sneers, Babs smacks his arm.

I glare at him. "In the transmission she sent us she sounded like she was in some serious trouble, tell me Robin, what about that sounds normal? Married or not our job is to retrieve Starfire."

"Tameran marriages are for diplomacy correct, not love?" Beast Boy chimes in a reassuring tone, Raven must be rubbing off on him.

I nod and look around the table; I notice that Flash still has his injuries. "Flash are you going to be able to fight?"

He looks at me dubiously. "I'm the great Wally West, of course I can fight!"

Jinx glares at him. "Well, not without me."

He smiles at her and she crosses her arms. I resist the urge to smirk at their fondness for each other. "Jinx and Flash will be ship guardians, meaning that when we land you guys will guard the ship from the Tamaranians. If more guards spill out of their castle you take them on, full force."

Wally grins and Jinx creates a pink orb with her fist. Jason looks at me hesitantly. "Are you sure they'll be able to handle it?"

Batgirl whips out one of her sharp batarangs and aims it at his throat. "Say another thing during this meeting and you'll be sorry." She says between gritted teeth, I guess I'm not the only one who was beginning to get fed up with his comments. He gulps and gives her a look that can rival Raven's.

I clear my throat and continue. "The search for Starfire will be left in Beast Boy and Raven's hands. Since Raven can sense emotions she'll be able to find her much faster than me, since Beast Boy can defend they'll be able to make it back to the Ship in one piece." I look at them earnestly and I know Raven is feeling the ache of heartbreak coming out of me. "I trust you with this, please bring her back safe."

Raven and Beast Boy share a gaze with each other and nod at me. Babs crosses her arms suddenly. "What about the rest of us?" She asks haughtily.

I smirk at her, knowing well that she's ready for a fight. "We're going after Karras; we're going to find out what he did with Starfire and make him regret it." Babs smiles and checks her weapon belt. I look around at the rest of the Titans and they share the same intrepid look that I am wearing. "Cyborg bring us to Tameran, anyone have any questions?" I ask.

They shake their heads and Cyborg leaves, within moments I feel the autopilot shut off and the plunge to the Tamaranian planet shakes our seats. I don't need to be an Empath to taste the anticipation circulating around the room. It's making the air thick with obliviousness. I wouldn't say that I am afraid; I'm just concerned and panicked. The Ship begins to descend and my heart lurches. We all stand up and the Ship lands. "We all have a job to do, do it safely, and courageously."

Cyborg pops back into the room with an alarmed look on his face. "I landed as close as I could to the castle, we need to start invading now or we'll be overrun with guards within moments."

I look at everyone and I whip out my Eskrima Sticks. "Titans GO!"

A/N: So not much happened in this chapter besides Richard going crazy and thinking irrationally. I also threw some BBRae in there for any shippers out there. I know it's shorter than last weeks but I needed filler in there with enough emotion and POV to keep you guys coming back! I already have the next chapter written so I'll make you all a deal, if I get 10 reviews I'll post the next chapter within 24 hours. Thanks for reading!
