[Changeling the Prototype] (Teen Titans X [Prototype])

Bonds Broken

Beast Boy couldn't believe what had happened. The Titans were way too trusting of BlackWatch, and too set in the fact they shouldn't kill people, no matter that they were a biological terrorist and possibly one of the most dangerous beings in the world.

He would have to hunt down and kill Alex Mercer all on his own.

That was stupid however. He needed to find a way to get information from BlackWatch. He needed someone he could trust. But who?

Terra. A thought crept into his head, the blonde haired geomancer that had once been a Titan, only to feign amnesia in order to live a normal life. If he could find her, and if she was still in Jump, he may have his source. She might refuse to help, but it was definitely worth a try.

He reached out with his senses again, but this time a strange ping came out, like the sonar he would use in a bat or dolphin form. Except unlike in those forms, the return pulse didn't bounce off any walls or obstructions, since he could see them. The return pulse came from the northern part of town. For some reason, he had a feeling that Terra was that way.

Leaping onto a rooftop he began sprinting, using this strange pulse occasionally to make sure he was on target. He kept this up for a few moments, making sure to avoid patrols and helicopters from both the military and BlackWatch since he wasn't sure exactly how intertwined they were, and he soon came to a street without any sign of BlackLight.

Seems like they had contained the outbreak to the South and West parts of Jump. Whoop dee freaking doo.

Looking down, he saw the definitive long blonde hair of Terra, and jumped from his roof, landing without a scratch.

"Terra?" He asked, noting that she seemed less irritated with him than last time he had seen her.

"Tara Beast Boy. I'm not that girl." Anymore silently went between them, the changeling nodding in recognition.

"Tara then. I need some help, and you're the only one I can trust." A flash of irritation went through her large blue eyes.

"What about the Titans?" She asked, Beast Boy recognizing the hostility in her tone wasn't directed towards him, but towards the protectors of the city in general.

"As it turns out, they're willing to lay down and let BlackWatch take over. They want to turn me over to them because I want to take down Alex Mercer, the guy behind this." Terra's eyes widened in recognition at the name. "You know him?"

"Not personally, but I had a pen pal from New York, school project, who mentioned the Mercer's. Alex and his younger sister Dana. I think her name was Karen Parker..."

"That's a strange connection. I need access to BlackWatch, or the military, or Gentek. They're all on one side of this war, with Alex and his Infected on the other. Can you help me?"

"She worked for Gentek, and gave me a part time internship. I don't have access to practically anything, sorry." She apologized, and to his surprise she was actually apologetic that she was unable to help.

"I... Have a way in. I didn't want to use it, but Mercer gave me an ability that could work." He felt sick. He didn't want to Consume anyone, but it seemed that there wasn't any other option. He promised himself that despite this, he would only Consume BlackWatch and Infected, and he would avoid civilian casualties as much as possible. "Just point me in the direction of the nearest BlackWatch Base, and I can take it from there."

"It's just south of here, you can't miss it. Beast Boy... What are you planning on doing?" The schoolgirl asks, looking at him cautiously. He sighed and looked down.
