Chapter 2:

Merely Distraction

Cinderblock has gone mad, causing a rampage in the city and sending people off screaming. The Titans have arrived on the top of the building with Cinderblock in their view.

"What's up with him now?" Cyborg muttered, "Who is controlling him now?" Everyone is fully aware that Cinderblock has rocks for brain and it's impossible for him to do this without someone else ordering him around.

Robin shrugged, "We'll figure that out later, but right now he needs to be stopped"

'This should be easy' Beast Boy thought quietly, watching Cinderblock 'finish him, then you can go back hiding in your room until today is over'

"Titans GO!"

Starfire grabbed Robin and flies straight for Cinderblock, followed by Raven and Beast Boy whom had morphed into Pteranodon with Cyborg in his claws.

Starfire let Robin go in mid-air. He land gracefully on Cinderblock's head and attaches a bomb then jumps off. Starfire swoops and catch him and lets him go when they reaches the ground. The bomb on Cinderblock's head went off, sends him swaying with confusion. It's Beast Boy's cue to let Cyborg go. Cyborg dives straight for Cinderblock with sonic cannon on his left hand. The blue flashes from his cannon and hits Cinderblock's back of the head, hard. So hard, that it sent him face-front crashing on the ground. Beast Boy caught Cyborg just in time and let him go when they reached the ground along with Starfire and Robin.

Beast Boy changed back in his human form as he watches Cinderblock being carried back to the prison by Starfire and Raven. In all of the chaos, he lost Cyborg and Robin. He looked all around for them, but they seem just vanished. 'Probably already on way back home' he thought. Beast Boy is about to transform into a bird, but he was hit by something or someone that sends him crashing into a dark alley.

Beast Boy moans as he wakes up, rubbing his head. 'Ugh, what did just happen?' He checks his surrounding, tall brick walls behind him and by sides. He could see the streets just ahead, trash cans along the way.

"Hello Beast Boy, long time no see."

Startled, Beast Boy turned his head to see whose voice it is. He see nothing but blackness from lack of light. Beast Boy frantically look around, but unable to find anyone.

"Who are you?" Beast Boy growled, "Come out so I can see you!"

"I see you haven't changed since you ran away from me." A stranger chuckled, "Look harder, little green one."

'The voice sounds so familiar, but who?' Beast Boy thought, 'And that laugh… I heard it so many times, but where? Where did I hear it?' So many questions running inside his head as he searches. 'Look harder… Come on, look harder' He suddenly stopped, his face turned into greenish white, his mouth gaps slightly, a gasp escapes him, his eyes widen. Standing beside a door, a man in purple suit, green hair that is gelled back, white powder make-up covers his face, and red smiling lips. This man is well-known, not around here, but in Gotham City and the famous Dark Knight's nemesis.

"Joker…" Beast Boy slowly step backward, "No… Impossible."

"Ah, I'm flattered that you remembered me." Stepping out of the dark and into light, "And don't try to run away, it is useless now."

"Wha- What do you w-want?" Beast Boy stuttered.

"Mm… Let's see, what do I want?" Joker drums his index finger on his chin, "Oh right, I want you back."

"I left for a reason."

"No, no. You didn't just left, you ran away, and leaving your old man hanging with the Dark Knight."

Beast Boy's back is now against the wall, it's no use to run now. Joker found him, after all of these years; he actually left Gotham City to find him.

Joker stands in front of Beast Boy, "My, my. You have grown so much!"

Beast Boy flinched, "Teen Titans will be here anytime now, since I'm not with them."

Joker chuckled, "Then, how did Cinderblock managed to escape? I'm sure they are busy since Cinderblock just attacked two little girls and knocking them out. So the boys have to help them, luckily you were too distracted." He cackled, "Cinderblock is so dumb, but powerful, and perfect for distracting the Titans."

"…" Beast Boy is too shocked to say anything; his arms are shaking so hard, he's sweating bullets.

"Tell me little green one, is the leader great as Batman? I'm surprised that he doesn't remember you."

"I...I... No… But…" Cannot find his words, "Robin…"

"Yes?" Joker sneered, "Anyway, I don't care. The point is, the reason that I'm here is because today is the day. The day that everything started, ah it's my favorite day. Don't you agree?"

Tears are filling up in his eyes, trying to blink them away, "Go away." He growled, "It's none of your business."

"Oh it is my business; I remember you always cried every year since, like right now." He gestured toward to Beast Boy, "Remember, I know everything about you." Joker inched closer, "I know the real you, Garfield Mark Logan, the boy who lost his parents in unfortunately accident."

Beast Boy flinched; no one has said his real name in long time or hearing anyone talking about his parents. His hand twisted into a fist in anger, and tried to punch him. Unfortunately, Joker dodged and grabbed him. Joker is now just inches away from Beast Boy's face.

"If you know what is good for you Garfield, you will come back. Just letting you know, when the Titans, especially Robin, finds out who you are and what you've done. Trust me, they won't think twice. They will pummel you into bits, they will put you in jail, they will abandon you, let you starve to death."

Beast Boy is dumbfounded, staring at Joker, the tears are pouring out. 'He is right…' Beast Boy thought, 'NO, I refuse to quit now. I will stay with Titans no matter what.'

"You are probably thinking that you will be able to keep yourself a secret, but not for long. I'll be back."

Joker backed and throws three odd-looking marbles on the ground. Those marbles exploded sending smokes around Joker. Beast Boy coughed, the smoke dies down and Joker is nowhere in sight.

Beast Boy sat and hugged his knees closer to him in the dark corner, his head bend into his knees, hiding his face. He is shaking so hard, his head ached from thinking so hard and the tears continue to pour out of his eyes.

I know that Joker is little off, but who else? Brotherblood Of Evil is out. Slade is dead. Pretty much all of the powerful villains are out. So, I choose Joker because it make things more interesting, don't you think.

dont worry, this story will get better.

Chapter 3 is coming up soon! :)
