The Green Freak - Chapter 3: Gotham
A few hours passed but the T-Ship soon made it to Gotham, Batman allowed them to land their ship on his property, as long as no one saw them land.
Can't be a coincidence that Cyborg had recently installed a cloaking device on their ship.
They landed and were welcomed by Batman himself, "I'm going to assume that you want to know where this freakshow is." Robin nodded.
"I don't know what's going on with Garfield but we're not leaving Gotham without him."
Batman nodded in understanding, "How'd you find him so quickly though?" Cyborg asked.
Batman shrugged slightly a habit he picked up from somewhere, "No offence to him or you four, but he's green for one thing, not difficult to miss." Batman paused, "I honestly don't see many green teens in the world, so it had to be him."
Robin nodded slowly, "True, and I guess no offence taken. Where is this freakshow?" He shivered slightly at the word 'freakshow'.
Batman took out a bat shaped device, "I marked the freakshow's location on my GPS before calling your tower."
Cyborg spoke up, "Which reminds me, how'd you get our number?"
Batman turned to him with an unreadable expression, "Because I'm Batman."
Robin rolled his eyes, "I gave him our number."
(...)
The four Titans followed Batman to the freakshow, they did this after dark however, for two reasons, one: Because Batman said so, and two: To avoid a crowd of people that would be there during the day.
The freakshow itself was freaking out the teens a bit, (A/N: This pun was accidental I swear), it was nothing like the carnival they had in Jump City, this was likely because this wasn't a carnival per se, but what it was, it was a freakshow, Batman had mentioned to them that at least one villain in Gotham came from the very freakshow they were walking in.
They soon found what they were looking for, there in a cage, sitting in a corner with his back to them, was Beast Boy.
Raven frowned slightly, "Open the cage, I'm going in to get him."
Batman nodded, threw a batarang at the lock and the cage door creaked open.
They noticed Beast Boy's ear twitch at the sound.
As Raven slowly approached Beast Boy she heard him speak, "You're not a freak, why are you in the cage?" Raven pressed on as she got closer he continued, "Are you here to kill me?" Raven flinched but continued, "No, that wouldn't be fun would it, torture is it then?"
Raven frowned, she was almost there, then she heard it, the other phrases held a belittling tone to them, but this one seemed sad.
"Why do I suffer so much, did I do something wrong?"
Raven reached her hand out towards Beast Boy's shoulder to comfort him, as soon as her hand made contact Beast Boy pulled away quickly, "NO! NOT AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN! I'LL BE GOOD! JUST DON'T HURT ME AGAIN!" Raven flinched more, a worried expression on her face, she chose this time to speak.
"Garfield, it's me, Raven."
Beast Boy shook his head quickly, still avoiding to look in their direction, "No, it's a trick. My mind's playing tricks on me again, no one cares, no one." Raven sighed and approached him again.
She noticed him shaking.
She sat beside him and heard him speak again, "Raven hates me, she would never come here to look for me, she hates me like everyone else."
Raven frowned again, "Look at me, Gar."
He shook his head again.
Raven sighed, "Just look at me."
"No…"
"Damn it, Garfield! Just look at me!"
Beast Boy flinched and Raven immediately regretted her action.
"Gar, I'm so sorry…"
"Go, I'm not worth saving…"
Raven froze up, "What did you just say?"
Beast Boy finally looked at her.
