Summery: Raven went back to Azarath to get stronger. Before she left, she said one of the reason to leave is Beast Boy's annoyance. With Raven out of the team, Beast Boy told them not to find a replacement and stated that he will learn Raven's magic. However, as he got stronger because of Raven's magic, he may even find out that how to be strong for an Azarathian mage.

Chapter 2: The Learning Begin
Beast Boy awoke from his sleep and decided to go his life without Raven. He went to his desk and picked up his mirror. The mirror revealed his tearstained face, probably because he cried endlessly during his sleep last night. The words that Raven said to him before she left continued to haunt him, making him impossible to sleep so there were bags under his eyes.
He put down his mirror and left his room for the common room. When he approached there, only Robin was there, sitting at the coffee table, reading a newspaper and drinking coffee.
Robin heard the doors opening and saw an exhausted and tearstained Beast Boy. He quickly assisted Beast Boy to the table, before saying, "Oh my god, Beast Boy! What happened to you? You look like a crap!"
Beast Boy sat down quietly and said "Can't sleep well last night."
"Is those words Raven said to you yesterday right?" asked Robin concernedly.
"Yes, Robin. Those words keep haunting me and because of this, I couldn't sleep well last night." replied Beast Boy sadly before he broke into sobs again.
"Well, we supposed to train today but I can see that you are not in a good condition to do some rough training. I think you can skip training today and get some rest. I understand, Raven had said some really cruel to you and it is hurting you. You should do something to erase the pain or else you may suffer some physical harm to your body." said Robin concernedly
"Thanks Robin, I will need those advice to encounter the pain that I'm suffering now." said Beast Boy quietly.
"No problem, that's what friends will do." replied Robin in a friendly tone.
After that, Robin cooked some tofu for Beast Boy and Beast Boy thanked Robin. Robin then left the common room and did some training with Cyborg and Starfire. Beast Boy spent the time reading his jet fighter book and drank some soy milk to clam him down.
After 20 minutes of training. Cyborg, Robin and Starfire entered the common. Cyborg was worried about Beast Boy when he heard about Beast Boy's condition and so as Starfire. Cyborg then sat next to Beast Boy, before saying, "Are you alright, BB? We heard about your sleeping problem and we wanted to do something to erase the pain."
"Thanks, dude. I appreciate your help and I was wondering could you make some tofu burger for me? I know you don't like tofu but please do this for me." asked Beast Boy. Cyborg nodded and said "Tofu isn't bad. If I mix it with some BBQ sauce, it is not too different from meat."
Cyborg then left the table and made some tofu burger for Beast Boy. After eating, Beast Boy sat back to the coffee table to continue his reading. Just then, robin broke the silence and called all the others to gather in the kitchen. All remaining Titans sat down and Robin spoke up "Now Raven has left the team and that means we miss one Titan in this group. We may need to find a replacement for the team."
Beast Boy then spoke up "Robin, I don't want anyone to replace Raven so I suggest that one of us to learn Raven's magic so that one of us can heal us, shield us and assist us like Raven."
"Alright, Beast Boy, we will ask one of us to learn Raven's powers because we can't trust a new Titan instantly since Terra betrayed us last time." said Robin and all the others nodded us they also mean they agreed with Beast Boy's idea.
"But, I already have I lot of technology and gears to fight so I don't need to learn Raven's powers. Plus, it will waste of my time since I need to do a lot of paperwork. Cyborg is half robot, so magic won't work on him. Starfire do not understand Earth language as well as us. So that means you have to be the one to learn Raven's magic, Beast Boy." said Robin in a logic way.
"Alright Robin, I will learn Raven's powers as soon as possible. Maybe even today." answered Beast Boy.
"But first, you have to go to Raven's room and get Raven's spell books. You needed to understand each spells function before you can use them." stated Cyborg.
Beast Boy nodded and then proceeded to Raven's room. The door was unlocked when he arrived at the door that spelled "RAVEN" on it. He opened the room and stepped inside.
The room was very clean. There were no any objects on the ground. The room was very dark like in a cave. There were only spell books on the bookshelves. Beast Boy grabbed all the basic spell books and left the room.
Beast Boy entered his room and began to clean his room. He put all the dirty clothes into laundry basket, all the rubbish into the rubbish bin and all objects into its original place. After he finished cleaning his room, he put all the spell books on desk and started to read.
He only left his room for dinner, soy milk and toilet. He spent all the afternoon to read the thick books. By night, he read about levitation spells, flame throwing spell, healing spell, telekinesis spell, lightning spell, eject soul-self spells, shield charm and many useful fighting spells.
By midnight, he already read all spell books and he was exhausted. He then climbed to his bunk bed to get some sleep. But before that, the words that Raven said came back and it was haunting Beast Boy, Beast Boy tried to forget those painful comments but was unsuccessful. After 20 horrible minutes, sleep finally claimed Beast Boy and he drifted into an uneasy sleep.
