Scars

You Promised

Here's the next chapter, sorry it took so long. I had an essay to write! :)

Beast Boy's alarm clock went off at 6:00. "Ughhh." Beast Boy groaned as he got out of bed. "Stupid Robin and his stupid training exercises at 6 in the morning." On his way out his bedroom door a nasty smell invaded his nose. Beast Boy made a face. "Ew what is that?" He dared to take a sniff. "HAM? Ugh...Cyborg!"
Cyborg was humming a quick little tune while dishing out slices of ham to his team. "I wonder when BB will get here?"
Starfire took a huge bite. "Perhaps friend Beast Boy is still sleeping." She said with her mouth full.
"He better not be." Robin looked off at the door to the living room. "We have a lot of work to do today."
At this moment, Beast Boy entered the room holding his nose. "Dude, Cyborg! What gives?"
Cyborg merely shrugged. "I'm just making breakfast."
"Well what am I supposed to eat?"
Cyborg held out a slice of ham towards his friend. "Eat this meat."
"Ew, no. I'm a vegetarian dude!"
"Then I guess you'll have to make your own breakfast."
Beast Boy sighed and headed towards the fridge. On his way, he locked eyes with Raven. He remembered the conversation they held just last night. "On second thought, I'm not hungry for breakfast." Beast Boy waited until everyone was finished.
"That was most appetizing Cyborg!" Starfire praised. "My stomachs are all much filled."
Robin stood up, "Everyone meet me outside. Today we are going to put your powers to the test."
~Outside~
"Get ready Beast Boy." Robin held the timer in his hand.
Beast Boy was hoping he might be able to go through the obstacle course without turning into any animals. He walked to the starting line and gave Robin a thumbs up.
"Wait!" Cyborg yelled as he ran up to Beast Boy and attached something to his arm.
"What's this for?" Beast Boy asked motioning to the device.
"Just monitors your body systems. Nothing to worry about." Cyborg ran back to the others. Everyone else had already completed their individual obstacle courses and Beast Boy was the last to go.
"Let's get this over with." He muttered to himself while getting into a running position.
"On your mark, get set!" Robin clicked the timer. "GO!"
Beast Boy took off running. Almost immediately after, large cylinders came out of the ground and began firing small explosives at him. Contrary to what the other Titans believed, Beast Boy was actually pretty skilled when it came down to it, and he dodged the explosives with ease.
He maneuvered throughout the rest of the obstacle course and was almost finished when the ground gave way beneath him. Panicking, Beast Boy shape-shifted into a raven. He gritted his teeth as he felt his bones shrinking to fit the new, smaller form. He flew up out of the ground and to the finish line where he transformed back into his normal self.
Starfire flew up and gave him a bone-crushing hug. "Glorious! You have beaten the record Beast Boy!" She squealed as she removed the device from his arm.
~Back Inside~
Cyborg was going over everyone's monitored levels. Everything seemed pretty normal, now for Beast Boy's. Normal...normal...everything seems to be-wait a second! Cyborg went back and found a spike in Beast Boy's pain level. He tracked it to the same time when BB transformed into that bird. Cyborg bit his lip, "Robin!" He called.
Robin appeared in a few short seconds. "What is it, Cyborg?"
"Check out BB's pain levels." Cyborg pointed at the monitor.
Robin couldn't think of anything to say. He finally spoke, "Does this mean..mean it hurts when he shape-shifts?"
Cyborg nodded.
"Why didn't he tell us?"
"Why don't you go ask him?"
Robin nodded and headed off to find Beast Boy.
~BB's Room~
Beast Boy opened his door to find Robin standing there. He obviously was the one who was knocking. "Am I in trouble or something?" Beast Boy guessed by the look on Robin's face that he must have done something.
"Beast Boy, why didn't you tell us it hurts you to change into animals?"
The color drained from Beast Boy's face, making it an almost sickly gray. "Who told you that?" He demanded.
Robin stepped inside of his room. "It doesn't matter, why didn't-"
"Raven told you, didn't she!" Beast Boy clenched his fists. "She promised!"
Robin pinched the bridge of his nose. "No Cyborg found it on the monitoring device when-hang on. Raven knows about this?"
Beast Boy said nothing.
"Beast Boy, I don't want you to do anything that might hurt you. Maybe it's better if you just-"
"If I what, Robin?!" Beast Boy was clearly angry. "Quit the team?!"
It was Robin's turn to say nothing.
With a growl, Beast Boy pushed Robin out of his room. "I'm a Teen Titan and I always will be! There's nothing anyone can do to make me change my mind!" And with that, he slammed the door.
