(Here's Chapter 12, I think this story may end up extending past 20. I'm working on drafting chapter 15 and editing 13 and 14 at the moment. There may be a week in between 13 and 14 with no update, I want to make sure the events connect as well as they can, and it's taking longer to shape those events. Thanks for the reviews! Enjoy Chapter 12. ~RavensMind~)

Chapter 12: Insanity's Intermission

Getting up off of the floor of the interrogation room, Beast Boy heard only his voice in his head for the first time in days. He looked around, wanting to find one of the others so he could talk to them. He wanted to talk to Raven, so he could apologize for all he had done. Maybe he could talk to Robin and he could tell her. What had happened? He had gone crazy. At least that is what he thought, how else could he explain it? Hearing another voice in his head for a week and then suddenly have it disappear wasn't good. The door to the interrogation room opened and Terra and Cyborg entered, looking at him with concern.

"Beast Boy?" Terra asked.

"Yeah. I'm…normal," Beast Boy said.

"That's the best news I've heard in a week. What happened, man?" Cyborg asked.

"Someone got in my head and acted like…me. Sounds awesome, I know, dude, but… Well, I thought I was just talking to myself, but then 'I' was standing where I was. I watched myself in my own head…Then I started fighting 'me' and I couldn't do anything until now…" Beast Boy said.

"So what changed?" Terra asked.

"That 'me' just disappeared. I don't know where it went or why," Beast Boy said.

"So, you know what you did?" Cyborg asked.

"Yeah…Where's Robin or… Raven?" Beast Boy asked.

"They're out…You don't want to talk to Raven right now, I'm sure she'll kill you on sight…" Terra said.

"I just want to tell her I'm sorry," Beast Boy said.

"I still don't think it's a good idea," Terra said.

"Ok…Where's Star?" Beast Boy asked.

"She is getting us lunch. Been watching you all morning," Cyborg said.

"Cool, can I have some? Want to play a game, too, Cy?" Beast Boy asked.

"Whoa. You aren't leaving this room yet. We don't know what happened, so we can't say it won't happen again," Cyborg said.

"Are you Robin, now?" Beast Boy asked.

"When he's gone, yeah, I am," Cyborg said.

"So, I have to stay in this room all day?" Beast Boy asked.

"Not just for a day, either," Terra said.

"So, what am I supposed to do in here? Stare at the wall, dude?" Beast Boy asked.

"Until we think you're not going to go crazy again, yeah," Cyborg said.

"Come on…" Beast Boy pleaded.

"No 'come on.' You can talk to us if you want something to do," Cyborg said.

"Okay…Can I talk to Terra…alone?" Beast Boy asked.

"If she wants, you can, but I'll be in the other room watching…I'll turn the microphone in here off, though," Cyborg said.

"…I don't think that would be a good idea, either," Terra said.

"Please?" Beast Boy asked.

"What do you want to talk about?" Terra asked.

"You know what I want to talk about," Beast Boy said.

"…Okay… I'll probably regret this…" Terra said.

"I'll be on the other side of the glass if you need me," Cyborg said, leaving the room.

Pulling out a chair, Terra sat down at the table in the middle of the small room. Beast Boy sat in the chair across from her.

"Why did you tell me we weren't going to be dating? Like what made you say that?" Beast Boy asked.

"You haven't been paying attention, Beast Boy, that's why. If you knew, I wouldn't have needed to say it," Terra said.

"Bu-…That doesn't make sense," Beast Boy said.

"You know what I mean," Terra said.

"Did anyone tell you that we should stop dating?" Beast Boy asked.

"No. I didn't tell anyone what I was going to talk to you about that night…Did you think someone did?" Terra asked.

"Yeah…I thought maybe you and Raven had been talking," Beast Boy said.

"…Is that why you attacked her?" Terra asked.

"No…well…I don't know, something else took over, I tried to stop it from making me do what I was doing," Beast Boy said.

"But you were thinking about it, right?" Terra asked.

"Yeah," Beast Boy said.

"Raven never tells me how to deal with you; she and I just hang out so I can get my mind off of how you're acting. I might talk to her about you and she might insult you, but that is as far as she goes. You're still her friend, in a way, and I don't think she'd ever try and ruin something big for you. Why didn't you come and talk to me?" Terra asked.

"What? You said you didn't want to see me for a while, so why would I come and talk to you?" Beast Boy asked.

"I thought you wouldn't listen and try and talk anyway…and you're doing it now, but it took some time," Terra said.

"So you want to talk?"

"I wanted you to think about why you weren't paying attention to me…And then we would talk."

"Oh…I don't know why I wasn't, the others just kept finding me before you did every day. We would be far into something before you even said "hi" to me that day. All you had to do was stop me."

"I shouldn't have to stop you. Just pay attention to when I say 'hi' to you, it might mean I want to talk to you or do something…"

"…I'm sorry, Terra," Beast Boy said.

"And I'm sorry for not talking about this with you earlier, I feel terrible knowing that it could have made you attack Raven…" Terra said.

"About that...could you talk to her for me? I don't know if she'll talk to me after what I did," Beast Boy said.

"I can try, but I'm sure Raven is still ready to kill you. She is thinking of leaving, you know," Terra said.

"Because of me?"

"Yes and no. Robin will explain it to all of us at some point."

"Is there something else going on?"

"Yeah. We'll know later."

"Where are they now?"

"They went out to eat, they should be back in a while."

"Why?"

"I actually don't know, we have food here...maybe they needed a break from all of this. You hurt him too, by the way."

"I know...What happens now. with you and me, and my messed up brain?"

"You can't leave this room for a while and after that, we'll see, but you won't be a part of the team. So, we'll see if one of our friends from say, Titans East, could fill your spot. I don't know what Robin wants to do as far as discipline."

"Discipline?"

"Yeah. Even if you may not have been in control of your mind, at some point you wanted to do what you did, and that has to be considered."

"'Has to be considered'? Why are you acting like the boss of me?"

"Because I'm in charge if Robin and Raven are both out of commission, which they are."

"If they're out of commission, how can they go out to eat?"

"They can't fight with their injuries, so they're 'out of commission.' They can still do other things."

"Okay...What do we do now?"

"If you don't want to talk anymore, I'll go and eat lunch with Cyborg and Starfire..."

"What am I supposed to do in here by myself? Why can't I have lunch?"

"You can't have the same thing we are, you'll get what we usually give our imprisoned suspects... Not that we usually have any."

"That sucks, dude."

"I'm sorry Beast Boy, but you can't just attack someone out of insanity and expect to walk away without something happening to you afterwards."

"Yeah...I guess you're right. Do you have to leave?"

"I don't have to, but I'm hungry and I want to eat lunch. Why?" Terra asked.

"Could you just...like, stay?" Beast Boy asked.

"I guess..." Terra said.

"Thanks..." Beast Boy said.
