Ch 19

Beast boy woke up to see the faces of the Titans and the Doom Patrol. He was happy to seem them as he attempted to sit up. He heard some gasps that he couldn't bear to look at, but he brushed the feelings off.

"I'm ok,"said BB as he got to a sitting position, "just a little sore is all."

"What happened Beast boy," said Mento.

"After I was captured, I woke up strapped down to a table in Galtry's lab. Before I knew it, I was put under. By the marks left on my body, I'm sure I was cut open and administered pain killers in the form of a needle. I don't know what he did to me. They were going to use me to kill all of you."

"What do you mean 'were' Beast boy?" asked Robin.

He looked away from his leader. "I—I'm sorry Robin. I killed them in my beast form. All my anger and hatred towards them came out. I saw them die. I even made sure to look under Slade's mask to make sure it was him. It was. I burned the facility to the ground."

Robin walked out of the hut as Starfire called his name and followed him outside.

"Don't worry about him B. He just needs some time to—

"You don't have to protect me Cyborg. I know what I did. It wasn't the right way to do things, but I can't take it back."

"No," Rita said as she came to the other side of the bed, "but you're alive and that's all that matters to us."

"You'll have to face the consequences Beast boy, did you ever think of that?" asked Robot man. "You could go to jail for a long time."

"And I thought I was negative," said Negative man.

"Cliff is right Beast boy," said Mento. "You acted irrationally and now—

"All right I've had just about enough of this. GET OUT!" yelled Raven as the Doom Patrol and Cyborg left the hut. Raven sighed. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos," she breathed as Beast boy's eyes caught hers and he smiled at her. "What?" she said as BB made room for her to sit down.

"I missed you Rae," he said as his hand reached up to her cheek and caressed the skin.

Her hand lied over his as they both leaned into each other and kissed, their tongues hungrily moving inside each other's mouths. His arms went around her waist as she lied her hands delicately on his shoulders. Pulling apart for air, they smiled at each other.

"I love you Gar," she said, feeling his insecurity about his body. "All of you no matter what," she said, taking his big, clawed hands in hers.

BB smiled. "I love you to Rae—Raven, and I don't know what's going to happen next."

"I'm not leaving you Garfield."

"We don't have a choice Raven," said Robin, who came in with the authorities.

Beast boy stood up with the help of Raven. "I—I'm sorry it had to be this way Robin. I can't help but feel I disappointed you."

"I am, but you'll always be my family, my friend," Robin smiled sadly, "that won't change."

"We feel the same friend Beast boy," said Starfire and Cyborg as they came into the hut.

"Yeah man we're going to fight for you," said Cyborg. "Those guys were evil and once your story comes out, they'll have to let you go."

"Where are you taking him?" Raven demanded from the authorities.

"Jail. Better find him a good lawyer," said one of the policemen, who cuffed Beast boy and took him away.

"Robin," said Raven.

"I'm on it," said Robin as he took out his cellphone and walked out of the hut to makes some calls.

Raven looked to Cyborg and Starfire, who looked back at her. "The group hug?" suggested Starfire. Raven and Cyborg looked and nodded. Robin came back into the room and joined in the hug. They would get their friend back.
