Chapter IV
Object 634-228
- A-a chip? – Beast boy gulped seeing big, sharp needle coming closer and closer to his shoulder.
- That will be your number. It will help me find you in case if you'll escape.
Beast boy was chained tightly… He tried to move, to escape, to avoid the shot, but it was… Impossible. His tears shined with lamps light. (I know, not grammatical…) Green boy just Yelped quietly, when the chip landed under his skin.
- See? I didn't hurt at all, did it? – He didn't even wait for boys answer, it was useless anyway. Beast boy was shaking from fear - I've prepared a special place for you. I will put you into a deep, quiet sleep, isn't that nice?
-H-how long is that long… Master? – Beast boy asked in way, how doctor thought him to call his kidnapper.
- We will see… Maybe few days, maybe a little longer… year? Two?
Doctor took off his chains, but Beast boy didn't move. It wasn't caused of fear, he just couldn't. He felt terribly sleepy. His eyes closed, the last thing he saw was oxygen mask. Next was only darkness and silence…

- Week passed already… - Mento sighed. They all were in Dayton Manor. Doom Patrol and titans. All of them with sadness on faces.
- He may be even dead laying somewhere in the fore…- Negative mans speech was interrupted by Rita's attack of sobbing.
- Great job, mummy boy… - Cliff snapped at him.
- I'm just supposing…
- That's enough! – Raven yelled. Chandelier fallen from celling and broke up on the floor. Everyone trailed off. – Beast Boy must be alive… Are you sure he doesn't have enemies?
- I'm sure I've never met any…
- Maybe… - Cyborg started – Maybe someone who Beast boy didn't like?
That one made Mento think a little deeper.
- He don't. Beast Boy didn't like someone? – Robot man laughed loudly, but Steve raised his hand.
- Emil. – He said firmly.
- Emil? – Asked Rita – You don't suspect him, do you?
- Actually… Negative man! Where we have our hidden cameras?
- One in lab…Two in living room, on the entrance…-
- Show me in living room. From the day Emil was here… Left side, hurry
- Mento, are you sure? He helped him, remember? – Cliff tried to reason with him, but he was interrupted again.
- Stop here! – Robin shouted.
- Is he putting something into his tea…? – Cyborg looked in shock.
- Emil… - Mento was furious. – Let's go! NOW!
He needn't to repeat. Everyone get out from house immediately.
Mento didn't even try to knock. Robot man crushed the door.
- Emil! Where is the boy? – No answer. – Hamilton! I warn you! You…
- Lab. – Negative man suggested.
- Let's go!

The doors crushed. First was shock. Hamilton looked at Mento and stepped back.
- Steve… Friend, what a surprise… - He looked very fast on something that was in the corner. It looked like a tube full of strange, green liquid, and inside was…
- Beast boy! – Few of them shouted in panic. Boy had a lot of tubes on his body, he was all naked. Moreover he looked a little taller and his hair reached his shoulders. They looked like inside the water.
- What… What have you done to him…?! – Mento looked angry on his, now, ex-friend.
- Steve, Steve… Let's talk like people. You wasted him! Look! Just look! – Madness… Why they never saw it before? Real madness…
- You're crazy. – Said Mento – Get him out. Now!
- Look… Look! Look, what I'm creating… He will be real killing machine! If I'll increase his animal DNA to maximum, he will be like a lion pet… He will do everything you wish! No more need to "raise" him! And you cannot even image, how strong he would be, he-
CRUSH!
Raven used her power to destroy the tube. Beast boy fallen on the floor. Mento get to his sons side immediately.
- No! Stop! You will destroy everything! – But Robot man hold him tightly – Let's see how will you behave in psychiatric hospital...How is he?
Mento took off his oxygen mask and with fear find out that he's not breathing by himself.
- Boy! Kid! Can you hear me? – He hit his back several times and finally heard soft coughing, but Beast boy still was unconscious.
- Hey! – They've heard Robot mans voice. Hamilton escaped, run to the wall and pressed button destroying glass.
Three doors opened in the same time. Mutants. A dozen of mutants, looked like zombies, with deformed bodies.
- What have you… Is that… - Mento opened his eyes widely. – Your… Death wife… But…
- These are people who I've found and whom I helped Steve… Look! Look, how beautiful they are! And you know what? They will do whatever I'll tell them to do…
- These are… People? – Starfire asked. All of them get pale.
- Not good… - Negative man stepped back.
Then few of them saw something red beeping on mutants shoulders. The same thing was beping on Beast Boys shoulder too…
- They will find us anywhere… Until… Sorry Kid… - He took a knife from the table and cut Boys shoulder deeply. Little chip fallen with blood. Not thinking much, he took off his shirt and wear it on Green boys naked body.
- Let's get out'ta here! – Robin Yelled. Mento took Beast boy on shoulder and rushed to the exit.
