"Why didn't you save us, Garfield?" the brown eye and haired woman asked.
"I'm so sorry mom. I was trying to be a good boy! Please don't leave me!" the little blonde boy cried as he saw her get consumed by water. The water turned blood red in a matter of seconds.
"You never follow orders Beast Boy!" the boy turned around to see a man in a purple and black jumpsuit and a huge purple helmet.
"I was trying to save the!" The little boy's blue eyes filled with salty tears.
"You couldn't save them you worthless freak! You're a stupid chore that some idiot like me picks up to feel better about themselves! No matter what you do you'll be a pathetic, worthless, green freak!" A big man with a crooked nose and jaw screamed at the little boy.
"That's not true!" The little boy shook his head vigorously. Then an average sized man with black hair and eyes picked up the little boy and threw him into a mirror.
"It's not, why don't you take a look for yourself!" the average sized man dragged the little boy to a shard of glass that he would be able to see his face. It was true the little boy now had green skin, green eyes, elfish ears, and a fang was poking out of his bottom lip. He was hideous.
"He may be ugly but he'll be perfect for science," said a thin man with a bird nose. He had an evil smile on as he came toward the little boy with a needle.
"You might as well kill him doc. No one will love a monster freak like him anyway. Not even his new friends," said a man with brown hair and hard cold brow eyes.
"You're all lying! Stop, stop, STOP!" the little boy screamed. But they didn't. They kept coming toward him, calling him a freak, monster, worthless, and pathetic. He let the tears fall but deep down the boy knew that they were right. No matter what he did he'll always be something unwanted- a green monster freak.
"Beast Boy!" Beast Boy woke up with gasping breaths. That was the same ream that kept him up all night. He knew it was just a dream but he knew that everyone in the dream was right. He looked over to see Raven staring at him indifferently but with a tinge of concern in her striking violet eyes.
"Our plane is boarding now," Raven said, grabbing Beast Boy from his thoughts.
"What?" He asked dumbly. The dream was still fresh in his mind and he missed what Raven said.
"I said our plane is boarding, idiot," Raven huffed but with her indifferent face as a front. Beast Boy knew she was probably still mad at him about last night.
"I'm not an idiot," he said childishly. He had to keep his mask up or she would stick her nose in his business. He saw that Raven was looking at him curiously. "Why are you staring at me, Rae? Do you need your daily dose of vitamin BB?" Beast Boy joked as he wiggled his eyebrows at her.
"Let's just get on the plane idiot," Raven said. Beast Boy did his signature stupid salute and nodded. She turned away and lead them to the airplane. As they were boarding Raven turned around to face him. She could see the frustration in her eyes, knowing it was something about him frustrating her.
"Look Beast Boy, we're sitting next to each other. So I don't want you to bother me, at all," Raven ordered.
"Jeez, Rae I would do that, if the ride wasn't so boring," Beast Boy said with a smile as they sat down. He knew she would ask him that but he had to retaliate because that's what his mask does, but she would still tell him to stop and be quiet anyway. It was their messed up dance that kept going round and round. But then he saw that Raven had a little smirk on her lips. It did make her look sexy but he knew he was going to be in something he didn't want to be in.
"Then let's talk," Raven said with her smirk.
"Talk. What do you mean by talk?" Beast boy asked nervously while he rubbed the back of his neck. He prayed that it wasn't about his dream or last night but he knew that as probably the only thing Raven wanted to talk about. Raven opened her mouth when the intercom came on telling them to buckle up and the safety guidelines. He used this time to prepare for his next conversation with Raven. The stewardess and intercom finished, then the plane took off. Personally he didn't like flying in a plane when he could do it himself. The plane was too crowded and it reminded him of a cage. Plus he was trapped with the ever curious Raven.
"Now let's talk," Raven ordered. "What did you dream?" she asked before he could open his mouth. Beast Boy knew his façade would be ruined if he told her his dream but if he didn't tell her the truth their relationship would be on the line. He loved Raven but he knew no matter what happened she would never love him (or let herself love him). But maybe he could change the subject using his attraction to her.
"I was dreaming of you my sweet angel." If that was the first thing that came up in his mind as a dream pick up line, he needed to stop hanging around Kid Flash. He saw that Raven wasn't even phased by his little line.
"I would be oh so flattered but it sounded like you were having a nightmare," Raven said. Raven looked in his and challenged him to prove her wrong. He knew he couldn't prove her wrong but he could annoy her till she forgot about his problems.
"What dream, or nightmare, are you talking about?" he asked with a grin. He could see the flicker of angry in her eyes.
"The nightmare you had in the lounge of the airport," she said. He didn't like lying to her but he had to.
"Ohhh, that nightmare. Let me see, I think it was, ummmm, I got it! It was about how my favorite TV show, Planet Wars, got cancelled and I had to read a book. Horrible dream, right?" he asked with his goofish grin. Raven stared into his eyes. Raven's beautiful violet eyes were a blaze with anger and doubt. There was a tiny bit of hurt in her eyes too. Beast Boy laughed nervously but Raven turned around, breaking eye contact with him.
"Fine, sorry I asked," Raven mumbled. Beast Boy knew he irritated her enough but he wanted her to believe the mask. If she didn't believe the mask he might lose her as a friend and the chance to see her smile at him. He needed to fix his lies the best he could.
"Raven, I'm sorry if I made you angry but I really did tell you the truth, both times. I'm still your friend right?" Beast Boy put as much sincerity in those words as he could. Then he felt it, her anger turned to fury.
"No Beast Boy we're not friends. I can't be friends with someone I can't be friends with someone I can't trust," she spat.
"You can trust me! I told you the truth what more do you want?" Beast Boy said almost yelling. He was trying to control the Beast. It reacted to anger in either fear or its own anger. Right now he was angry.
"I told you that I'm not stupid. I know you're lying Beast Boy so but don't call me your friend if you can't trust me with your feelings." Raven said her eyes staring him down. Beast Boy tried to stay calm but there were so many roars in his head. It must've been that stupid dream and lack of sleep that got all the instincts in him riled up.
"You never show your feelings, so SHUT UP!" Now Beast Boy was yelling. He knew he was yelling at Raven but not to her.
"Excuse me sir please calm down," a stewardess said in a frightful voice. It just made Beast Boy's Beast angrier.
"Stay out of this," he growled. The stewardess ran away in fear. He looked back at Raven who was still angry. Can she just leave things alone? He thought.
"Now you're taking out your anger on innocent woman. Maybe I don't know you Beast Boy. But what's worst is I trusted you with my life," Raven said with a trace of hurt. This would've calm Beast Boy down but the Beast was somehow stronger and it was angry about everything.
"You trusted me with your life! I found everything about your life by hacking into the stupid database! Then I had to fight for your life from your stupid demon father! That's how I learned about YOUR life. So I apologize for keeping a few secrets about my life, but at least I won't destroy the world!" Beast Boy screamed. He was on his feet breathing hard. He felt warm liquid coming down his hand but he didn't care. The Beast was trying to express his anger and it felt good but he knew it couldn't happen. He saw that Raven shrank in her seat. Her face showed the hurt and fear she felt. Then her eyes examined him.
"You should calm down before you hurt someone besides yourself," Raven said in a small voice, almost a whisper. He heard her because of his ride in his animal sense. He saw that she was looking at his hands (which were in fists). They were dripping blood and when he opened his hands they were claws that ripped the top of his gloves. Then he could actually feel his fangs growing. He calmed down enough to look up at everyone. He saw their fear, shock, and curiosity towards him. His friends' faces were among the faces of fear and shock. He could hear their thoughts – What's wrong with him?, Freak!, Monster!, Why?. He couldn't take their glaring faces, so he ran. He ran into a stewardess but when he looked up at her and open his mouth fear ruled her face. Her reaction made him run to their tiny bathrooms. When he locked the door he looked at his reflection. On the outside his face looked normal except for his eyes. They were animal eyes. He opened his mouth and saw that his teeth were as sharp as knives, so were his claws. The image in the mirror mixed with his green skin and elfish ears made him look like an animal. I really am a monster freak. He thought. The pain of him turning into the Beast brought him back to reality.
"Beast Boy, it's Robin. Are you okay?" Robin asked with concern. Beast Boy started to nod his head but remembered that Robin couldn't see him.
"I'm fine. Just…Leave..me, alone," Beast boy gasped. He was trying so hard not to howl in pain. He slid down the wall as he waited for Robin to respond. Soon he heard Robin leave, leaving Beast Boy in his silent suffering. The Beast wanted to come out and express itself, but Beast Boy knew that he hurt enough people today (Raven was one too many). He kept the beast inside as it screamed in fury to be released. Holding it in was excruciating. He felt like that for hours (but he knew it was only minutes). After a while it stopped roaring and the pain lessened, but he couldn't go out on the plane. All of the passengers' faces (especially his teams' and Raven's) faces froze in his mind. They reminded him that he was truly a freak monster. The irony of the fact being that even a half-demon and a cyborg were scared, shocked, or hurt because of him. I am and will always be a pathetic, worthless, freak monster, Beast Boy thought as he fell asleep.
