Why the heck am I only getting reviews from one person?
Raven: For once, I concur. Where's the love? And did I just say that?
Cyborg: Yeah, I think you did. Maybe we'd get some reviews if we, y'know, started the next chapter?
Me: Good point. Let's go!
When there's trouble you know who to call. Teen Titans!
From their tower, they can see it all. Teen Titans!
When there's evil on the attack
You can rest knowing they got your back
'Cuz when the world needs heroes on patrol, Teen Titans GO!
With their superpowers they unite. Teen Titans!
Never met a villain that they liked. Teen Titans!
They've got the bad guys on the run
They never stop 'till the job gets done
'Cuz when the world is losin' all control
Teen Titans GO! Teen Titans GO!
If your heart is black you better watch out
You cannot escape the team
When they catch you there won't be any doubt
You've been beaten by the teens
Beaten by the teens!
1,2,3,4 GO!
Raven: You know, I would think it's kind of obvious that we don't like villains. Can we say "filler?"
Previously, on Fused...
"Excellent work. Ah, it has been a while," Slade looked at Robin. Robin's face was all suspicion. "And what have we here?: Slade's voice betrayed slight surprise and a large amount of ironic amusement as his gaze fell on Terra. The blonde girl turned away, causing him to smirk. "The apprentice who killed herself 'killing' me. And now you're helping me destroy the very creature that foiled your efforts. Rather fitting, really," he said ironically. Then he cocked his head. "Where is Beast Boy?"
Raven looked down. "Long story short, he left. There were...issues...concerning myself and Terra that he had to deal with," she said ashamedly. She quickly changed the subject. "Now that everyone's here, we need to formulate a long-term plan. I know we can pull it off. We're a force plenty powerful enough to erase all existence and memories of Trigon. We just have to focus that power and discover exactly when, where and how we need to go about using it to obliterate him," She finished.
"Sounds logical, bu-" Slade cut Robin off. "I think we need to clarify something first. We will need to work together, as one team, to successfully pull this off. This means we must trust each other 100 percent with our lives. I understand that this will be more difficult for some than others, but I am willing to put aside past differences if all of you are," he stated coolly. Everyone knew he was talking mainly to Robin, and looked at him expectantly.
Robin gave Slade a good long look, and finally nodded, extending his hand. Slade shook it, and Robin actually felt a slight smile of hope cross his face that maybe, maybe this ordeal could change Slade. "That'd be excellent, Trigon gone and Slade no longer being a threat and maybe even an asset? This could be quite an opportunity. Make the most of it," he told himself. And with the unlikely alliance made, the meeting commenced.Without Beast Boy.

"So let's review the hard facts," Raven stood up, commencing the conversation. "Mumbo Jumbo threw Beast Boy" She cringed at the name, "and I into a weird combination of our two bodies. That caused some serious disturbance in here, in Nevermore. Presumably, it shook this place up enough to wake Trigon up," Raven looked over to Slade for confirmation. "Correct. The sudden disturbance Rage sustained roused him."
"Now he's out for revenge in classic villain style. He believes Slade is helping him return to power, but in reality Slade is seizing the opportunity to destroy what's left of Trigon before he regains too much more strength. Therefore, we need to find out how exactly we're going to do this, because I get the feeling it's going to take more than a frontal assault alone to do it." She finished. Everyone nodded and voiced their agreement. Suddenly, both Knowledge and Braved shot straight up.
"What?" Raven turned to her emotions. "We have to go. Now." Brave said. She sounded quite concerned. "It's Beast Boy. Something is seriously wrong. We'll check it out and come back ASAP," Knowledge reassured. And with that, they sank down through the ground and out of Nevermore. And the instant they left, Nevermore was rocked by an insane shockwave.
Beast Boy exited into Raven's room as soon as he saw them hit the library. His face betrayed his heart. "Why the hell would she do that? She knew! She knew that I was trying to say it, knew that I had gone through hell and back just to even feel comfortable enough to even try, and knew what that BITCH symbolizes to me!!!" He shouted to no one. Apparently, his brain associated extreme anger with raw power, because as he punched her bed in frustration his fist went gorilla and tore a hole through it.
Not even caring, he stormed his way out of the Tower. He transformed into a hawk and soared over the small body of water that separated his former home from Jump City. He had almost reached land when he flared and turned to get one good, final look. "I should at least write a final letter or something," He thought. He made up his mind and flew back. Entering the tower again, he grabbed a bold black pen and notepaper and began to write.
Dear Titans, he wrote. He thought about what he wanted to say, and continued.
Well, it's been good knowing you all. I couldn't just up and leave without at least saying goodbye, and in the current situation this is the best I can do. I really wish things didn't have to be this way. If she had just found it in her heart to at least forgive me for my existence and acknowledge my efforts... Well, anyway, I guess it's not important now. I feel like I owe you guys my life, which I know I do on multiple occasions, just like you guys probably have owed me yours at some point.
Robin, you gave me a chance. I want to thank you for that. You let me on your team with seemingly no chance to be a serious hero, and with your help I went from being a clueless little boy to the man I am today. I remember the day I met you, and I have this to say: I'll always remember the time I had here, "sir."
Cyborg, from the moment we met we had a good influence on each other. You confirmed that at least not all of my jokes were duds. I made you realize that you aren't a "monster," but rather just a regular guy who wears his workings on the outside instead of in. We laughed together, played video games together, and almost killed each other over tofu vs. meat. I'm going to really miss that argument.
Starfire, I don't know what a "milnip wooserloop" is, but I hope it's a good thing since it's the last opinion that I'll ever hear you voice of me. I learned a lot from you, and you were like the big sister I never had to me. I'll miss you.
And lastly...I don't know what to say. I really just don't, Raven. When we met, you actually said you thought I was funny. I thought that maybe I had found a girl who could appreciate me. And I don't know what I did to blow that, but you've hated me ever since. I tried as hard as I could. I risked having my head and my ass being placed in two different dimensions by daring to get near you when no one else would. I was there for you when Malchoir hurt you. I guess you didn't notice, but every time you were hurt in battle I went berserk.
The Beast came out twice for you, both when Adonis tried to attack you and when Slade tried to take you on the fateful night that was almost the end of the world. But apparently you don't give a damn. After all I had done, all I had dared to do, the support I had given when no one else could, you wait right until I've just gathered the courage to reveal my feelings to slap me in the face. I just hope that it made you happy. That's all I've wanted, was to see you happy. If shredding my heart was what it took, so be it I guess.
I love you guys, and I'll never forget you or the times we had. I'd leave you contact info if I knew it. Just... don't come searching for me.
Oh, and one more thing, Robin. Either ask Starfire out or give the others the peace of not having to watch you drool all over her.
It's been fun,
Garfield "Beast Boy" Logan
He laid the pen down, sad but satisfied with his final words. He turned to leave only to be blocked by two objects, one yellow and one green. Instinctively, he went gorilla and backhanded the two figures out of his way. Registering what the two "objects" were, he demorphed and ran over to the tangled mess that was Brave and Knowledge.
"I am so sorry," Beast Boy apologized, after he helped pick them back up. Knowledge gave one of her gentle laughs. "Forgiven, Garfield. No damage done. At least, not to us," she added. Brave completely took that the wrong way. "Yeah, there's gonna be damage to you in a second," Brave growled, half joking. Beast Boy was confused. About several things.
"Wait, how the hell are you guys here? You can get out of Nevermore?" Beast Boy had never considered that possibility. "Yes and no. When Raven is in Nevermore, one of her emotions can potentially take control until she stops them. That's why Raven rarely comes to Nevermore," Knowledge laughed again.
"O...k... That still doesn't explain why two of you are out in your own forms," Beast Boy was trying to keep up. "Oh, come now Beast Boy. If you think about recent events it should be perfectly clear." Beast Boy thought back. "Ok...Raven isn't here, so it'd be possible for one of them to replace her. The other one...think!" He pondered it for a moment before he understood. "Two parts... he said slowly. He continued more excitedly now. "Two parts, meaning two spirits? Souls? Whatever, two of those in one body. So if there two parts to Raven when she went in, then two parts could come back out!"
Knowledge smiled. "Exactly. And we're here to shred that letter and take you back, Beast Boy. While understandable, your reaction to Terra was extremely uncalled for. Terra is another force to add to the team for the moment. A force that we need, just like you. You hurt Raven just as much, if not more so, than you are feeling right now," Knowledge waited to Beast Boy's reaction. He showed some surprise, but not nearly as much as the yellow-clad emotion was expecting.
"What you accused her of doing to you is what Malchoir did to her, Beast Boy. It's what Terra did to you. She believes now that you think she's just as bad as Malchoir and Terra. You have to come down and set this straight. We need you, Beast Boy. She needs you. Come with us," Knowledge finished softly. "Yeah, quit being an asshole and get your sorry can movin'" Brave added. Knowledge facepalmed.
Beast Boy looked Knowledge in the eye. "Knowledge, I know that you are the part of Raven that knows what she thinks and keeps here memories. But you don't get it, do you? Haven't you noticed? When I was in your library, it was all dusty. Happy calls you 'Ol 'Dusty' as a joke. In other words, your library hasn't been active because your connections have been severed," He paused as Knowledge's face drained of color as she realized he was right. "You don't know what Raven thinks or feels right now. And despite having had a connection with her for so long, you guys don't know her half as well as I do. You're only parts," H finished.
Both emotions' jaws were on the floor. Everything the green changeling had said made perfectly logical sense, and on most accounts he was right. Of all the emotions, Knowledge was the only one that could possibly say she truly knew Raven. But in reality, Beast Boy saw the whole person. All of the emotions only saw each other, never truly being able to get to know the real Raven. Knowledge finally nodded.
"Very well. But know this: It's not too late yet. The point of no return will be when this ordeal is passed and your friends read that letter with you gone. You have until then to reconcile with Raven," Knowledge said. And with that, they sank through the floor back into Nevermore. Beast Boy stood there, thinking about what had just happened. "Wow. I just chewed out Knowledge. And with every right, too. She thinks she knows Raven so well...well, so did I.
"Yes, she can be quite the deceptive one when she wants to be." Beast Boy's eyes widened as he spun around, looking for the source of the voice. "You don't recognize me? I'm hurt," The voice said mockingly. Wheels turned and everything finally clicked. "What do you want, Trigon?" He tried to remain calm and cool. "I sensed your pain. My dear daughter is quite good at lying and deception. Ah... good to see she's following in her father's footsteps after all. I was beginning to worry that she might actually overcome her demon side," Trigon laughed with pure pleasure. "She is NOTHING like you! She lives to do good! She has nothing to do with you and your demons!!" Beast Boy yelled. How dare he say such things?!
"Oh? She lives for good, does she? So it was good when she lied to you, led you on, and then shoved Terra in your face? It was good when she brutalized you in Tokyo? All the times she's injured you over little things, that's all been for good? She can do good, no doubt. But in your case, I guess she decided that she could amuse herself with you," Beast Boy's jaw shook. Not out of anger. Not out of fear. Out of defeat. As much as the green elf hated to say it, Trigon was right. She was a hero, lived her life for the cause of good...except when it came to him. He hung his head. And felt it hang slightly heavier. He lifted it back up, confused. "Is it just me, or did my head grow like ten pounds heavier?" He voiced his thoughts aloud.
"Oh, they don't weigh that much. You'll get used to it. And I'll have to get used to being so... small. But this is only temporary. I just need you briefly until true power is in my grasp again," Trigon's voice was full of malicious laughter. Beast Boy's eyes widened in shock. All four of them. Horns and extra eyes grew onto the changeling's head. The small claws on his hands doubled in size. His green hair lengthened until it reached waist level. And with that, the Fusion was a fusion again. "Trigon...he's too similar to Raven. He can... Oh, God. No! No! N-" And with that, Beast Boy was trapped in the silent part of his mind by the purely evil entity that he now shared a brain with. Trigon was back.
A/N
From the episode "Go!" when the Titans first met. Beast Boy called him "sir" until Robin got annoyed and told him to stop.
From the episode "Forces of Nature", Starfire gets pissed and calls Beast Boy a "Chlor-Bag Barbrenilk(sp?)." At the end, Beast Boy asks her if he's still a chlorbag, and Starfire says that he is more of a "milnip wooserloop."
