Chapter 4. Remember me?

Beast Boy had gone outside to the beach by the rocks. His favorite place when he needed to think.

He was replaying the events of that morning. He had woken up, ready to take on whatever punishment she might had had for him but instead, she had surprised him with a hug and a kiss.

\\\\\\\\

Not long after they had fallen asleep again, he woke up, uncortable for the position. for a moment he had forgotten. But when he tried to move a soft breath on his neck stopped him.

Slowly he lifted his head and gasped silently. Raven was sound sleep in his arms on the floor. He decided to get up, no need to wake her and bring her wrath upon him. but after further inspection of their position, getting up without waking her was impossible for his arms were wrapped around her torso.

Somehow he managed to slide to the side folding his legs and proping up on his knees, lifting her slowly off the floor. "hmmm, she's not as heavy as she seems" he thought to himself while he walked to his bed with Raven in his arms.

He put her down gently on her back. Stirred for a moment, but settled herself on her side, putting an arm under her head, the other one, pal down on the bed and sighed.

BeastBoy ha been watching her, frozen in place for fear she might wake up but then, he edged closer to get a better look at her. The soft moonlight gave her a glowing, peacefull look. He couldnt help but smile to himself and thought "why not? is not like she's not gonna kill me already". He leaned in and place a soft kiss on her lips.

Then walked to the window and sat on the window sill.

It was almost dawn before Raven woke up. Looked around her and settled on the changeling perched on the window. He turn to her and smiled. Raven got up, run her fingers lightly thru her hair, fixed her cloak over her shoulders and walked to him.

He got off the window sill and stand up not knowing what to expect. A slap on the face, a punch on the stomach, thrown out the window or a trip to another dimention. "hopefully not the dimetion where her father is" he thought to himself. she got closer and closed his eyes and braced himself for impact, but instead, she hugged him. But what surprised him even more was that she had grabbed his face with her small hands and pulled him to her and kissed him softly on the lips. After a few seconds she let go off him and phased thru the floor before he had a chance to react.

\\\\\\\\\

He felt in heaven for hours after that, even though she had left his room without a word.

He had been watching the evening starting to fade. Looking at the sun play its last dance on the water on the horizon when an uneasy feeling made him turn just in time before a jaguar pounced on him. Beast Boy was quick to move turning into a cheetah and had jumped off to the side.

Before he knew it, an anaconda was wrapping itself tightly on him, squeezing the air out of his lungs.

Somehow he managed to morph into a bird and fly away when he heard the cry of a falcon, ready grab him with its talons but knocked him off the air instead.

Beast boy shifted back into his human form upon landing with a thud. He got up on time to see to the falcon's landing a few feet from him and saw it turn into a bear. Growling low, looking straight at him, ready to attack.

With an aching body, he assumed a defense pose, still panting from the exertion. At this, the bear roared but didn't move from its position.

"Dude, what's your problem?" Beast Boy yelled at the bear. In turn, the animal roared back and took a step forward.

Beast boy turned into a T-Rex, lower its head and body and roared back.

The bear also turned into a T-Rex and mimic the green dinosaur. Both baring lines and lines of sharp teeth to one another. Circling each other without attacking.

Beast boy couldn't help but notice something besides his opponent's skin color. What really made him stop with a gasp and turn back into his human form.

Out of the surface of the scaly skin, the remnants of what seemed to be a scar played across the top of the brown T-Rex's right eye, as if not concealed completely.

In the main time, the rest of the team were in the common room. Cyborg was surfing the tv channels, while trying to conceal peeks at Raven who had been reading, or attempting to read on the other side of the couch. But seemed distracted. In fact, she had been distracted since breakfast.

Robin was sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee while Starfire sipped mustard with a straw.

Cyborg turned off the tv and looked around. Robin noticed the sudden silence and asked "something wrong Cy?

"Did you guys feel that? He said getting up and heading towards the big window. "some kind of rumble…" he continued until he saw outside "hey guys… since when BB's T-Rex is brown?"

They all gathered at the window and look down to the beach. And there it was, what could be a natural looking T-Rex roaring and ready to attack at whatever it had in front of it.

Cyborg used his robotic eye to magnify the image and upon inspection, he saw the dinosaur's target. It was Beast Boy, panting on the floor on his human form.

The tin man gasped and said "THAT'S NOT BEAST BOY, THAT'S THE PHANTOM AND IS ATTACKING B."

"TITANS, GO!" yelled Robin heading to the door followed by Starfire and Cyborg. Raven had already phased through the floor and appeared a few yards away from the confrontation.

Beast Boy, in the main time had stopped short. The scent of the other shape shifter had been vaguely familiar, but didn't have time to discern it until he saw the half scar on the other T-Rex. After that, he had lost all the drive to fight back.

The T-Rex bared its teeth in what seemed to be a grin and turned into its human form.

The human across Beast Boy was a girl. Slightly taller than him. Slender in an athletic way. When she moved however, seemed like a jungle cat, with malice and purpose as if analyzing how to attack its pray.

She started to walk towards the green Titan who seemed rooted to the ground. The others appeared not too far, Starfire hovering just above them.

"yo B, you ok man.. what's going on?' asked Cyborg. Beast Boy however, lifted a hand to signal them to stop and with a solemn look on his face he said " stay out of this guys… she's come for me" then turned to the girl.

The girl stopped a few from him "I see you remember me, Garfield" said with severe look on her face.

"who is she Beast Boy?" said Raven who up until then had been a few feet away on Beast Boy's left side but ready to attack.

"it's…" he started to say but he was interrupted when the girl snapped at Raven and said "NONE OF YOUR BUSSINESS DEMON" and turned to Beast Boy again.

"How long has it been Garfield? Ten years?…" she scoff with disdain "Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this?"

Beast Boy had his head hung and didn't dare to look at her in the eyes at a loss of words to respond. This made her angrier. She tighten her fist and glared at him.

"Have you any idea what I've been through? All because I held you to your promise of never leaving me behind? … until I finally realized you were never coming back?"

Beast Boy had closed his eyes but winced and pressed them tighter at her words.

The girl had gotten close and was walking around him. He could feel her angry glare behind him.

Raven was listening and glaring at the girl, ready to make a move, her magic concentrating on her hands and eyes glowing.

Beast Boy opened his eyes, glazed with threatening tears and locked eyes with Raven for a moment before motioning no with his head and closed them back up.

"WELL?" The girl asked with barely contained anger.

"I'm sorry" he whispered.

"Sorry?… SORRY! … is that all you have to say for yourself Garfield Mark Logan?" And with this, she shoved him back. He didn't put a fight and just let her push him some more.

She was angry, real angry now but couldn't bring himself to stop her assault.

"ANSWER ME!.. Say something…. Do something for crying out loud!."

She pushed him again. His body was limp. His chest ached, not from her shoving but guilt.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the others approach, weapons and star bolts at the ready. Raven's obsidian dark magic had never faded. The humming of Cyborg's cannon charging made him talk "Don't attack her!" he warned "she's not here to fight anyone but me".

Starfire, who's star bolts faded at his remark said "but friend Beast Boy… she will hurt you… we can help…" clasping her hands against her chest and a worried look at the girl who seemed wild with anger.

"then let her… I deserve it…"

Cyborg put away his cannon and looked at Robin. "we gotta do something Rob, I got a bad feeling about this" he whispered to the Boy Wonder. "Me too".. he said.

"Are you going to answer me now?…

Nothing.

"Are you even going to try to defend yourself?"

Nothing again. She shoved him once more but he did or said nothing in return. This made her angrier all the more. She growled and ever roared like an encaged animal still in her human form.

A few feet away …"Man, … he seems to have a knack for getting the females around him pissed off at him" said Cyborg crossing his arms on his chest.

"this is more that pissed off Cy… do you still carry that dart on you?" asked Robin not looking away from the confrontation.

Cyborg looked at him with suspicion. Reluctantly he said "yeah, but … that was designed for BB, I don't know what kind of reaction someone else would have to it."

"I know, but we must be prepared." Robin said crossing his arms as well and looked back at the enraged girl and the changeling.

"Have you ever spared a thought for me?…. Did you even care?"

To this he snapped his eyes open "of course I cared M…"

"LIAR!" she interrupted him. Her eyes were wild in anger, her hands turning white from tight fist on her sides.

"then prove it… fight me!" she saw the others move but ignore them.

"I have no right to fight you back… I can only tell you that I'm really, really sorry for leaving you behind"

The others were close enough to see the girl's hands shake. "have it ready, we cannot waist time" said Robin to Cyborg who was pressing buttons on the key pad of his forearm "I don't know about this Rob…"

"but friend Cyborg, look at her. If she is not contained she will hurt friend Beast Boy. He is not even trying to defend himself" said Starfire next to Robin.

Raven appeared next to them "any idea of what can we do?.. He's too close to attack her and he wont defend himself"

"any idea what's going on?" Robin motioned to the two changelings.

"Apparently she's come for revenge and he thinks he deserves it" Raven answered thru gritted teeth.

"we got an idea but you need to distract her long enough for us to get a lock on her" said Robin

"we don't know how her system will react but at least will stop her long enough to subdue her" said Cyborg showing Raven the dart. She nodded.

"ready?" asked Robin.

"on it" said Raven before she disappeared into a black hole on the ground.

In the main time, the girl was glaring at Beast Boy, growling. He noticed her fangs, just like his but much more sharper.

Their senses tingled due to Raven's dark magic in the proximity. Beast Boy made the mistake to avert his eyes for a brief second in Raven's direction. The girl growl once more not taking her eyes off him and said "so. Be it!"

She took a step back, leaned forward as if ready to attack. He closed his eyes cringing at the upcoming pain. But instead, the girl pivoted to her right and with lighting speed turned into a cheetah and darted towards the spot where Raven would soon appear.

At the same time, Beast Boy had opened his eyes when no contact had been made but soon realized she had changed her target and was already in mid-air towards the empath, taking her by surprise.

Something snapped in him and no sooner than the cheetah had knocked Raven down, baring her teeth at her, than something knocked her off the sorceress slamming her hard to the ground.

The Beast had the cheetah pinned down, roaring at her angrily. The feline turned back to her human form and growl back saying "I've heard of you…don't even think for a minute that I'm afraid of you"

An with that, she managed to kick the beast on his side and distract him long enough for her to shift into a snake and slither away from the Beast's claws.

Then quickly turned into a rhino and charged at the Beast. But he was much faster and jumped over the rhino and charged at it with bared teeth.

The rhino turned into a gorilla and managed to counter attack. But with brute force, The Beast lifted the gorilla over his head and threw her a few feet away.

But before the gorilla touched the ground, turned into a panther, roared and jumped to attack the Beast again.

But a hiss in the air distracted her in mid-air and felt a prickle on her left side and started to loose consciousness at the same time that the Beast knocked her off and both landed with a sick thud. By then, she had turned to her human form.

The Beast heard the others running to him. He turned to them, roared. That stopped their tracks then sniff at the girl on the ground. A pool of blood was forming around her.

Slowly, the Beast started to disappear and Beast Boy was panting from exertion. The Beast itself was a draining change.

He opened his eyes and looked down. Gasped at the sight of blood around him. She wasn't breathing.
