Chapter 4: Consumed

The Beast showed no mercy, ripping Adonis from Raven, making sure he was far away from her. Raven didn't move. She just lay there, traumatized by Adonis' previous actions. The Beast grabbed him and pulled him out of his power suit. Adonis screamed as he felt sharp claws dig into his sides. He was defenceless without his suit, and The Beast knew this.

The Beast quickly turned to look at the rest of the Titans. Cyborg was uncomfortably watching, but didn't seem to try and stop it. Starfire took a quick glimpse of what was happening, but noted that Robin was more important to her, and she should take care of him first. Terra watched as she felt jealousy flow through her. Beast Boy should be protecting her, not Raven. At least that's what she thought anyway. But little did they know, it was not Beast Boy who was doing this deed. It was his animal side; a side he couldn't control, a side that should've been locked away from the rest of the world. His animal side, aka, the Beast, had branded Raven a while ago for his mate. Beast Boy was oblivious to this, and was always confused to why he always felt the urge to constantly protect the empath.

Terra noticed that her 'boyfriend' was being too brutal to the criminal, and if he didn't stop soon there would be consequences. "Beast Boy, stop now!"

The Beast growled and chose to ignore the blonde earth-mover, not aring about her well-being at all. All the Beast needed to do was make sure his mate was okay and safe. He would take down anyone who got in his way of doing that.

The Beast morphed into Beast Boy's form, and gently picked up the now sleeping Raven, holding her bridal style. He stared in awe as she slept peacefully before planting a kiss on her forehead.

"Beast Boy, what are you doing?" Terra asked as she angrily approached her love interest. "You can't do that to her! You have a date with me remember? What's your deal?"

The Beast saw Terra as a threat to his beloved, and in one quick movement, he sunk his fangs into Terra's shoulder, causing her to scream and faint from the pain.

Beast Boy awoke in his bedroom with Raven in his arms. He stared down at the Azarathian beauty as he tried to recall just how he had gotten into this.

He was brought out of his thoughts as he heard loud knocking at his door.

"Beast Boy! Come out here right now! I demand answers from you!" he heard Robin shout.

'Aw man,' he thought to himself. 'He does not sound happy.'

"Okay, okay, I'm coming!" was the changeling's reply. He gently placed Raven onto his bed and tucked her in. He then made his way to his door to be greeted by a severely pissed off Robin, an upset Starfire, and a concerned Cyborg. He stared at them awkwardly before speaking. "So, uh, what's up?"

"What's up? What's up? That's all you have to say?!" Robin screamed into the green teen's face. "

"Woah, calm down dude! What did I do this time? If it was that stink-bomb prank, that was totally meant for Cyborg!" he replied, laughing nervously.

"This is much more than pranks, Garfield," his leader said, scowling at him from behind his mask. "This is about what you did to Terra."

"What did I do to Terra? And can you please not use my real name; do you even know how hard it was to get Rae and Cy to shut up about that? I'm out two hundred bucks!"

"Don't ya remember what happened, B?" the half-robot asked, clearly showing concern for his best friend.

Beast Boy's expression turned serious before he said, "No, what happened?"

"So you're telling me that I did this to her?" Beast Boy asked, examining Terra's wounded shoulder.

"She has yet to wake up," the Tamaranian replied. "She will wake up, yes?"

"I don't know, Starfire," Robin replied as he brought his alien bestfriend into a hug. "I don't know."

Beast Boy watched the blonde peacefully sleep in horror for a moment before he cried, "I would never! I don't even remember doing this! It wasn't me, I swear!"

"Beast Boy, you did this to a teammate. I don't know why, nor do I care. It's not safe to have you around anymore," Robin said, finally releasing Starfire.

"Robin, what are you saying man?" Cyborg asked as he stared at him in disbelief, knowing what would happen next.

"I'm sorry Beast Boy, but I will not tolerate this behaviour. You are no longer a Teen Titan, and will go to jail unless Terra decides to not press charges."

"He didn't do it," came a familiar voice. They all turned to see Raven standing by the door. "His animal instincts told him to protect me, so he did. I know this because I sensed it. He thought Terra was threatening me, so he attacked her. Garfield was not in control; his primal side took over."

"Primal?" Starfire asked, not familiar to the word.

"I'll explain later, Starfire. But right now, I will heal Terra. She'll wake up in a few hours and I'm going to need peace and quiet so I can concentrate until then. Beast Boy will not be leaving the Titans and things shall go back to the way that they were before once Cyborg works on an antidote for Beast Boy's animalistic side. Do I make myself clear?" the empath said, scowling mostly at her leader.

"Crystal."

AN: Kind of a short chapter. I think I may have made a few spelling errors in here, please point them out if they're bothering you. If you're confused about anything, don't hesitate to tell me; I know I'm not the best at paying attention to detail. Thank you for your reviews!
