Chapter 30:The Letters

Robin stands front of the massive window in front of the common room,A green goat slammed against the alien girl, quickly shifted into a tortoise then into a young boy with a mask, "Beast Boy reporting to the duty, Sir!"Robin stares at him weird, "Thanks, and don't call me sir, call me Robin.The odd boy smiles with a twinkle in his eyes, "Robin! I can't believe this!"Robin smiles weakly at the memory.Starfire sadly pets the depressed slug, Slikie.Beast Boy stares at Starfire desperately, "Okay. Remember when Killer Moth made an army of mutant moths and forced Robin to take his daughter to prom and he was like"Nah"and you were like"Rrrr"and Robin was like"Snnneh."But then we found Killer Moth, and I was like"Dude!"and Raven was like"zzzt"and Cyborg was like"Boo-yah!"and we kicked his butt, and the mutant moths turned back into these cute little wormy things?"Starfire stares at Beast Boy confusedly, "Um...yes?"Starfire smiles at Slikie"He's all yours Star.""Thank you, Friend Beast Boy!"Cyborg polishes his robot armor,Cyborg takes his hood off, "There! Take a good long look. I had an accident, and now I'm a monster, all right? A cyborg!"Beast Boy's jaw dropped, "Cyborg? Cool! You're like Robot Man 2.0!"Cyborg laughs weakly through his tears,'Cyborg shakes his head, "You're a weird, little dude, you know that?" Beast Boy laughs, "You called me dude."Raven sits at the center of her bed, staring at the clock as it strikes three o'clock.Cyborg glances down to his torn sweater, "Oh, man! My suit!"Beast Boy glances at him, "So? You look way cooler without it."Cyborg scoffs, "Yeah, like I'm taking fashion advice from the guy in the goofy mask."Beast Boy gasps, "Goofy! My mask is cool... isn't it?" He glances at Raven, "Raven?"Cyborg & Raven shake their headsBeast Boy frowned, "But what about my secret identity?"Raven scoffs, "What secret identity? You're green."Beast Boy stutters for a second, and then takes off the mask and smiles.Raven closes her eyes, waiting for the knock to come, but it never came.The Titans are standing on the hill on which the Titans Tower will be builtRaven sighs, "That's quite a view."Cyborg nods, "Somebody oughta build a house out here."Beast Boy smiles, "Yeah, if you like sunshine, and the beach..."Raven giggles, "You know, you're kind of funny."Beast Boy's jaw fell with a twinkle in his eyes, "You think I'm funny? Woohoo! Dude, I know some jokes!"Raven immediately regret saying that he was funny.The alarm blares throughout the Tower.The Titans quickly rushes into the common room, finding Robin standing in front of the window with a cast on his hand.Everyone was silent, waiting for their fearless leader to say something."S-Sorry, there is no trouble." Robin stumbles, "I-I… After what happened yesterday…"All of the Titans cringes and let the tears roll down on their cheeks, including Robin."He is in the Medibay freezer," Robin gulps, "There will be a memorial and a funeral for him. We will plan it together later, but for now…" Robin glances at the letters on the table, the Titans follows."We should read them." Robin finishes and the Titans nods.All of them gathers and sits on the crest-shaped couch front of the letters.Starfire slowly picks them, "There is six letters, one for each of us, one for all of us, and…"Robin glances at the sixth letter, "And his will."Raven whispers, "Which one should we read first?"Cyborg shuts his eyes tightly, "I think we oughta read the letter for all of us, then individual letters, then… His will."Everyone nods.Robin sighs, "Who is going to read it?"Everyone looks at Robin who nods, "Ok…"Robin opens the envelop, pulling out a five paged letter."Hey guys,First of all, I am sorry. I just couldn't stay, not when you guys look at me like it was your fault, but it is not. It's never was. It is always mine. I brought my past along with me, and it wasn't your fault that you didn't know.I was afraid that if I told you guys about me and my time before Teen Titans, you wouldn't accept me, especially you, Robin.I guess I should tell you guys who I am… I hope it will help somehow by giving you a closure. I don't know where to start, but I guess I should start with my name.My name is Garfield Mark Logan. I know, I was named after fat orange cat, creative huh?Anyway, I was born in Africa on April 1st and my parents were the world famous scientists who were sent to Africa to study new species of animals. I've always loved to see new kinds of animals, learning about them. Like my parents, my parents heard about a rare green monkey that was roaming around the forest. Excitedly, the parents went to the forest and began to look for the green monkey; I went along with them, trailing behind them. Something caught my eyes while he was walking behind his parents, something in the bush. So, he left his parents and walked toward to the green bush. Discovering none, but he continued to walk further out of the trail. It wasn't long until he got lost, middle of tall trees around him. I was only four, terrified, panicked, looking for his parents. Then I saw a green monkey; lazily swing on the branch of one of the tree. He shouldn't have done what he did. I walked toward to it. I only wanted to pet it, but it scared the green monkey and angers it as well. The green monkey attacked me and bit me on my shoulder. I passed out, who knows for how long. Luckily, my parents found him and bring him back to the tent. I became ill with Sakutia. I was dying; my parents did everything for him. Finally, they insert an untested serum which cured me. I recovered, but I wasn't the same; my dirty blonde hair turned into green, my tanned skin turned into green as well, and the only thing remained the same is my eyes. I discovered that I could change into any animals of my choices when I saved my mother from poisonous snake. My parents didn't care how I looked, they were just happy to have me alive.I loved my parents, they taught me so much. Unfortunately, they weren't around longer than I wanted to. That's where the trouble begins.(Robin continues to read as Beast Boy's memories took over)It had been three months after Garfield recovered from the illness. His parents had been nothing, but helpful and encouraging. Garfield was able to transform into few small animals. His parents were always there for him, along his sides. Without them, Garfield won't know how he will survive. Without them, he would be dead three months ago. Even though, Garfield was born and lived in Africa for 4 years. Their real home is in Oregon, United States. Garfield and his parents were loading the boat, and set off into the sea. Returning to home, Garfield was excited. He traveled all over Africa, he never had home. Now his parents decided it was time to return home. They had been in the boat for days, Garfield didn't mind as long he has his parents' attention which that was rare occurrence. They played games, telling jokes; they even stopped the boat to swim in the ocean. His parents didn't realize how powerful their son is, and how many people willing to kidnap him for money and power. As they were nearing Oregon, it was dark night. They will arrive in next morning. Mrs. Logan tucked Garfield in his bed after telling his favorite story, "Princess and the Frog" She kissed him on his forehead; Mr. Logan came him and kissed him on his forehead as well. "Good night, we will be home first thing in the morning." His father said, "Sleep tight kiddo." They turned the lights off and closed the door. "Good night mommy, good night daddy!" Garfield called before the door was completely closed. It wasn't long until Garfield heard some strange noise coming from top of the boat. He got up and walk to the door. That was when he heard a scream, his mom's scream. He yelled, "Mommy!" He opened the door and ran upstairs. He was hiding behind the wall, he could see around dozen men in black clothes surrounding his parents."Where is that green kid?" One man asked, "Tell us, then we will leave you unharmed.""Never" Mr. Logan shouted at the man."Oh well then…" the man turned to his men, "Spread out! That green kid should be hiding somewhere in the boat."The men spreads out, three men ran passed Garfield who is quietly hiding in the corner. Tears are coming out. 'What is happening?' He thought. He quietly creped out of the corner and toward to the man who kept asking his parents where he was. His mother saw him, her eyes widened. 'Go hide' she mouthed desperately, but Garfield doesn't understand. The man saw Mrs. Logan mouthing, he turned and saw him. He smiled, "Hello kid, how are you doing?"Garfield stares blankly at him. His skin was white, shaggy brown hair, brown eyes, and a smile full of ugly yellow teeth. Then he looked at his parents. Mr. Logan is hugging his wife, whispering repeatedly "It will be ok." Garfield slowly looked back at the man, "What are you doing to my mommy and daddy?""Oh, we were trying to look for you so we can go home.""DON'T LISTEN TO HIM GARFIELD, RUN NOW!" His dad shoutedThe man turned and took his gun out and shot him. The blood splattered on Mrs. Logan. She screamed as his husband fell on her arms. He looked up to his wife and said his last words, "I love you Marie, stay strong." Then he dropped dead, blood everywhere on the floor, on Marie. Garfield watched his dad died front of him, his eyes widened. He froze in shock, unable to do anything but watch. Watching his mother who is now angry, stood up front of the man, "How dare you!" then she grabbed the man and screamed at Garfield, "CHANGE INTO A BIRD AND FLY AWAY NOW!" Garfield snapped back, stumbled and turned and started to run. He stopped when he heard another gunshot; he turned and saw his mother lying in pool of the blood alongside his father. He turned and tried to turn into bird, but he was too late. Three men grabbed him and throw him inside cage. All men dressed in black got on smaller boat, carrying Garfield in the cage, paddling away from his boat with his parents inside. When they got far enough, one of the men pressed the red button. The boat exploded, burning, slowly sinking. It seemed like hours, the boat vanished from his sight.That was the day that I met my Uncle, Nicholas Galtry, and I killed him on the same day I killed Joker.Garfield was chained to the wall, wearing nothing but underwear and socks. His body was full of blood, bruises, and probably few broken bones. The room that he was trapped in had no windows, walls were grey, and the light flickered above him as he curled up shivering on the cold gray floor. He doesn't how long he had been trapped in the basement of Nicholas Galtry's mansion. He saw it few times when he was taken out. It felt like it had been months, it may have been years. Garfield doesn't know anything anymore. All he want to be free, no more pain, no more guilt, and no more uncle. He was being used to rob the bank, threating people with his razor sharp teeth. Garfield doesn't want to do all of those things, but he was forced to do it. The worst thing they ever did to him was forcing him to eat a woman. To top that, Garfield actually liked it. Galtry began to feed him humans in the doggy bowl, smirked and obviously pleased as he ate them.Every day, Galtry will come down to either beat up Garfield for fun of it, or give him a human bone so he could gnaw it. Every day, Garfield will cry for help, but they never came. Every day, Garfield's guilt grew as he ate humans. He had to, or otherwise he would've died from starvation.One day, Galtry came down, Garfield quickly backed against wall and wishing that wall will break so he will be free. As Galtry got closer, Beast Boy shut his eyes, preparing for the impact, but none came."I have bad/good news for you Garfield," Garfield glanced up to his cruel uncle, "Bad news is, I've sold you to someone else, but good news, it was for huge amount of money. You no longer belong to me; you are hardly useful anymore anyway."Garfield could not believe it, he was free.Free at last.Galtry put him into a cage once again, fully clothed, but the wounds were still there and still bleeding. Like anyone cared. He was putted in the black car, he watched the window. Galtry becomes smaller and smaller. Finally, he is gone and he was thrilled. As when he arrived and saw the man with purple suit, green hair gelled back, white powder covered his face, red smiling lips, and odd grin that seems never ceased grinning.Garfield doesn't know that he would be worse than his uncle.A pure hell.I suffered so much, I was forced to rob, kill, and I was raped several times. When Galtry sent me away, I was thrilled but when I met Joker. It was much worse.The clown-looking man pulled my cage with me inside out of the car, "Welcome to Gotham City, what is your name little green one?""Uh-uh," Garfield stammered, "G-Garfield""Garfield?" The clown man chuckled, "That won't do, I will give you a new name later, but now, my name is Joker.""J-Joker?""Yes, now you will work for me understood?"Garfield was tongue-tied, he nodded in response.Joker was carrying him into a massive, broken, old warehouse. Cobwebs are everywhere, foul scent which made Garfield's nose scuffed in disgust.Joker saw his face, "Ah, don't worry! You will get used to this smell," Joker inhaled the smell.'He is weird' Garfield thought, 'But he is better than my uncle I guess'"Oh! I know your new name!" Joker dropped the cage onto the ground, caused Garfield to wince in pain, "Since my name is Joker," Joker kneeled in front of Garfield, "Your name shall be Prankster; so that way people will know that we are connected!"This sent Joker into a fit of laughter."Prankster," Garfield repeated, "But I like my name better, my mommy and daddy gave that name to me."Joker stopped laughing, but still grinning, "Well, too bad. Your parents are dead and you are mine now."Garfield sniffled, trying to stop himself from crying."So I heard that you can change into any animals, is that correct?"Garfield didn't response."IS THAT CORRECT?" Joker shouted and kicked the cage.Garfield cried in pain,"Y-yes."Joker laughed, "Well then you will be perfect for my act! Batman and his pesky bird boy will never see it coming."Garfield was no more, he was now Prankster. He turned into seven years old last month. He had been with Joker for almost year now. He had forgotten about what mattered to him, he continued to eat humans or animals without a care, killing people alongside Joker. He had lost the reason to fight, or try to escape. Joker had beaten him up badly long time ago, trained him cruelly. Now he no long knows who Garfield was, he represented himself as Prankster perfectly alongside Joker.Nothing mattered to him anymore, nothing.Until that night.Joker and Prankster had fought against Batman and his sidekick, Robin many times before, but not like that night.That night, it changed him.It was same as other times that they've fought, except Joker came up to him and handed him a gun. That was normal, he had killed people before."With this gun, shoot the bird boy and kill him," Joker ordered, Prankster nodded in response. They split up, Prankster was still small, smaller than seven years old body should be. He was able to hide behind the towers of boxes.Right on time, Batman and Robin burst through the window, entering Joker's lair."Show yourself, Joker," Batman shouted, causing Prankster flinched behind the boxes. Prankster is very afraid of Batman. Batman had beaten them often, but Joker kept coming back for more.Prankster loads the gun, making sure it is full of ammos. With his pointy ears, he heard Joker, "My clowns, ATTACK!"That was Prankster's cue, he carefully peeked over the boxes, aiming the gun toward Robin's chest as he fight against the clowns.'Don't do it Garfield' His heart spoke, 'Don't do it, your parents won't be proud of you''WHO CARES, my parents are dead!' his head spoke, 'Nothing mattered anymore''It is not true. Look at Robin, he is just a kid. Like you'As Prankster weighing in his opinion, Shoot him and kill him, or don't shoot him and suffer the consequence.He knew the consequence will be horrible, he hated it.He decided to shoot, but not at Robin's chest, but on his left leg."AAAH!" Robin screamed, which stopped Batman. Once Batman saw Robin clenched his leg, he looks at Joker with fury."Heheh…" Joker chuckled weakly, and then lost his concussion from one blow.Prankster will never forget his next five minutes of his life.Robin lying down, holding his leg to prevent blood from coming out, and Batman kneeled to his side, telling him that it will ok, and that he won't die.Robin glances toward the direction where the bullet came from, his eyes met Prankster's eyes. Prankster's face was covered in the mask, but his eyes weren't covered. Even though Robin's eyes were covered in the mask, but he could feel like he was staring into his eyes. He was sure that Robin will never forget him, will never forget his emerald eyes."I will get you," Robin mouthed, and Prankster whimpered as Batman carried him away.They vanished from his sight, he got lost in his thought, 'Batman cared about his sidekick, he didn't abandon him, or beat him up for getting shot in the leg' His words to calm Robin down reminded him of his parents, 'Joker would have beaten me up if someone shot me in the leg, yelling me to be stronger and focus. Batman is different. He is a hero and Joker is a villain'He shakes his head in disgust and thought out loud, "What have I become?"He walked to Joker, who is still out like light.The idea shined to him, 'I can run away now' He'd rather to be homeless than staying with Joker.Thanks to you Robin, I found a hope and a way to escape."No more, I won't be Prankster no more," with that saying he turned and ran away and never looking back once again.But, I became the Prankster once again didn't I?It was a dark, stormy night; the lightnings were coming out from everywhere sending out several loud thunders, the rains were pouring down hard. A little green boy staggering tiredly, and was using the wall beside him to support himself. He was shivering hard, desperately to find a shelter from the rain. It had been three days since he ran away from Joker. He doesn't know where he was, but he knew for sure that he wasn't in Gotham City anymore.He found a small box beside the trash cans; luckily he was small enough to fit in. Once he got inside the box, he cuddled himself to keep warm despite his clothes which were drenched from the storm. He drifted into dreamless sleep which that was rare occurrence.The lightnings ceased, the thunder faded away, the pouring rain became to sprinkle rain. The ground began to shook, caused Garfield to wake up and crawl out of his box to see what was going on.The ground shook even harder, which made Garfield to lose his balance, falling face-first onto the ground, "Ouch," he muttered under his breath, but shut up quickly when he saw a massive gorilla on the street.With his pointy ears, he was able to hear a man voice, yelled, "Stop what you are doing, Mallah!"Garfield's eyes widened and his jaw dropped in shock when he heard the Gorilla named Mallah spoke in gruff voice, "Ah, Doom Patrol. No long time see…-"He chuckled, "And you think that you shall be able to stop me, Mento?"The man who made himself known as Mento spoke once again, "What are you and the Brain planning this time?""You actually think that I would tell you? Hah, you are a fool!" With that saying, Mallah picked up a car and hurled at them."Doom Patrol, ATTACK!"Garfield was back in his box, quietly stared at Doom Patrol fighting against Mallah.A woman suddenly grew, becoming a giant and easily picked Mallah up with her hand and threw him hard against the ground, making a crater below him.The mummy-looking man stood firmly on the ground and let a yell as the black shadow came out of his body, leaving him lifeless on the ground. The shadow was moving quickly toward to Mallah and picking him up and flew straight up the sky. When it was high enough, the shadow threw Mallah falling down.A huge robot ran toward to area where Mallah would crash onto, he jumped and met Mallah in the air. He punched Mallah in stomach hard, sent him crashing to a building near Garfield.Mento hover slowly toward to Mallah who is trapped in pile of concrete, with his mind, he lifted Mallah into air, and put pair of cuffs that would hold him."You are too easy to defeat Mallah," Mento spoke calmly and Mallah growled, "You won't get away with this."A robot picked him up and carried Mallah away on his shoulder.A woman walks up to Mento and spoke quietly, but thanks to Garfield's hearing, he was able to hear her."Steve, there is a little kid hiding over there," Mento/Steve glances at the woman and then to the place where Garfield was hiding.Garfield let out a yelp, they have discovered him. He panicking curled up deeper in the box. The woman walks over to him, and knelt so she can see him."Hey," Her voice was soft and gentle, "Are you ok?"Garfield didn't say anything, but whimpered instead as the woman puts her hand out, waiting for him to grab her hand.She spoke again in the same voice, "My name is Rita, and that is my husband, Steve. What is your name?""G-Garfield," He squeaked, not sure whether to trust her or not, but decided to trust her. He hesitated to reach her hand.Rita pulled him out of the box, helping him to stand. It was too dark; Rita couldn't see his skin color or anything else except his green eyes."Where is your home, Garfield?" Steve came up next to Rita, looking at Garfield, which made him nervous.Garfield finally spoke, "I-I have no h-home."The mummy-man walked beside Steve, startled Garfield, sending him hiding behind Rita."It is ok, Garfield," Rita spoke softly, "That is our friend, Larry.""Hey kid," Larry spoke and Rita looks up to her husband, "This poor boy doesn't have a home, can we take him, only for short time?"Steve sighed, and looked back at small kid, finally said, "I guess so Rita, he needs somewhere to stay after all."Rita knelt beside Garfield, "Want to stay with us for a while?"Garfield nodded, hoping that they won't hurt him like the others, but it is the risk that he had to take.Arriving the middle of nowhere, Garfield became paranoid, 'What if they left me here in nowhere?' but he stopped when Steve closed his eyes and glint of blue wave came out of his mind, the ground shook as a metal elevator sprout out of the ground. Garfield was amazed, as he followed Rita into the elevator. The light shines brightly inside, Rita glanced at Garfield and gasped followed by Steve and Larry's gasps as well."You are green, Garfield," Rita knelt once again, "Are you feeling ok?"Garfield realized that it was too dark before, they hadn't notice. He started to mutter, "I am fine, and this is my skin color."Steve was astonished as he noticed that Garfield was green from head to toes."I-I can change into animals," Garfield whispered, afraid that they will kick him out."Really? Can you show us?" Rita doesn't look worried or scared anymore, she was encouraging him. Garfield felt happier, and decided to transform to his favorite animal, a frog, then transformed back right on time as the elevator door creaks open.Garfield was tongue-tied; it was a massive underground base he had ever seen.Steve spoke once again, "You can change into any animals, right?"Garfield nodded, "But I am not good at it, I can only change into small animals.""Mm," Steve glances at Rita and she nodded in approval then Steve knelt next to Rita and spoke softly, but serious, "How do you would like to be part of Doom Patrol team?"Garfield's eyes widened, "R-really?"Steve, Rita, and Larry nodded, only Steve spoke, "Yeah, we will help you to control your power and we will protect people from evil. How does that sound?"Garfield was the happiest boy in the world, and accepted the spot of becoming member of Doom Patrol.He never told his team what happened before that night they found him; he continued to protect the innocent from the evil.He became a hero.And thus Beast Boy was born.I was so happy. I didn't have to rob, nor kill innocent people. I became a hero. It was my proudest moment. The Doom Patrol treated me as if I was their own, but my stupid mistake cost their lives.It had been three years since Beast Boy joined the Doom Patrol; he is now ten years old. After he had been found by Rita three years ago, they decided to adopt him as their own. Beast Boy finally felt like a family once again since his tragic accident which sent his real parents into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.Steve, who was known as Mento had been training him hard, forcing him to transform into something bigger and bigger. Mento was very strict, and hard to impress. It seemed to Beast Boy is that no matter how hard he tried, his adopted father will never be proud of him. This frustrated Beast Boy, so that's why he preferred his adopted mother who is very oppose from her husband. Her name is Rita, and she is known as Elastic Girl. Steve always said that Rita babys him, which Rita will always conquer him by saying that he is too hard on him.Beast Boy was not afraid of mummy-looking man, which is named Larry and known as Negative Man. Larry may be the silent type, but he always have Beast Boy's back no matter what. Beast Boy always comes to either to Rita or Larry to talk. Larry never turn him down, he would always listen and give him few advices.Beast Boy's favorite was Cliff, with body full of metal, so therefore he was known as Robot Man. They tend to play few pranks on other teammates. Cliff was famous for his rash thinking, and not caring what he will run into during the battle. He love to smash stuff, Beast Boy adores him because he often plays with him, encouraged him to do his best. They both were close.Beast Boy blew out his cake on his tenth birthday and wished for nothing, but the best.Unfortunately, his wish altered.The biggest battle against the Blood Brothers of Evil had caused Beast Boy feel deeply guilty and regrets.That battle was same as before, but yet so different; "Brain is up to no good again," Mento informed once everyone arrived."What is he up to now?" Negative Man scoffed, "Another pathetic attempt to build a machine to end the world?""This is no joke matter, this time he is serious," Mento barked at Negative Man, "I read his mind from last battle, and all of those battles we had been fighting was just a decoy. Keeping us away from what he is really planning right now.""Alright boss, tell us what to do. We will take him down like old times," Robot Man hollered, cannot keep his excitement inside."They are hiding in the middle of Amazon Forest, so it will be hard to find them. We need to sneak in and give them a surprise attack, Agreed?"Everyone nodded, "Alright, Doom Patrol, MOVE OUT!"They went on their plane and left their base, ahead to Amazon Forest.It wasn't long until they hovered above the forest in South America, they were suddenly got hit by multiples lasers shooting from the below.One of the laser hit one of the propeller, caused it to explode, taking out the wing of the plane."PREPARE FOR THE IMPACT," Someone shouted, but Beast Boy couldn't remember who. It happened too fast, they crashed into the forest.Smoke were everywhere, Beast Boy was struggling to breath, and looking for his teammates, "Elastic Girl!""Robot Man!""Negative Man!""Mento!""ANYONE?" Beast Boy was on verge of losing his concussion, begging for a respond. Instead of a response from one of his teammate, this one was from huge gorilla that appeared front of Beast Boy and a chuckle, "Aw, is little green kid scared?""Mallah…" Beast Boy growled, suddenly a bag was put over his head. Everything went black.…"Wake up, everyone, wake up,""Shall I press the button, Master?""Do it.""AAAAAAHHH…." Everyone woke up with thousands volt of electricity surged into their body. Beast Boy glances up to his teammates;Negative Man's mummy body was in one of the pods and his shadow body was in another.Elastic Girl was trapped in a bubble looking pod, and Mento was attached to metal thing that is holding his head and his arms.Robot Man was turned off, lying beside Beast Boy which was in one of the pod same as Negative Man."Brain…" Mento growled as the Brain stood in front of him with Mallah behind him."Hello Mento," Brain spoke, "Your team is too predictable, you know that Mento?""Whatever you are doing, you will be stopped!" Mento struggled to use his power, but failed as another surge of electricity was sent into his body. Mento managed to make no sound."Just letting you know, if you attempt to use your powers in any way, you will be shocked severely, "Mento glared at Brain who started to speak to Mallah, "and Monsieur Mallah, If you please.""Yes Master," Mallah carried the Brain to the control room."Now, Doom Patrol; if you please turn your attention to the machine that will end this miserable world."The ground shook as an odd looking machine began to rise from the ground. It just kept getting bigger and bigger, Beast Boy pales and wondering how they will stop this.Finally it stopped, the machine reached to the roof of their secret hideout. The Brain spoke once again, "This machine creates a black hole, which will suck the entire Earth, except us of course."Mento's eyes widened, "No… It won't happen. DOOM PATROL, FIGHT!"Negative Man's shadow banged every inches of the machine and found no way out. Elastic Girl grew bigger, but was forced to return back due to the bubble shrinks, causing her to squeeze in pain. Mento tried to break the machine that is holding him with his mind, but failed as the surge of electricity shocked him.Beast Boy glances around his pods, checking it out and remembering Mento's words "Think big"It was a miracle; he finally transformed into something big, a greenTyrannosaurus Rex roared, and broke the pod without any struggle.Once he broke out, he transformed back, "Mento, I did it! I thought something big and I did it!""Good for you Beast Boy, but now is not the time. I need you to attack the Brain before it is too late!""But… What about you guys?""Do not worry about us, GO NOW!""But…""GO"Beast Boy nodded then ran to the Brain, suddenly stopped by Mallah, "Good job little one, now see if you can beat me," Mallah roared. Beast Boy quickly shifted into a rhino and ran straight to Mallah.Mallah caught his green horn easily and spun him, then released him, sending him crashing into a wall."Beast Boy, the Brain is turning on the machine. You have to hurry!"Beast Boy saw the Brain who is turning the machine on, "Uh… What do I do?" Beast Boy panicked, decided to transform into a bird and flew toward to the Brain, but was tackled by Mallah, sending him back to the ground."Beast Boy, do something NOW," Mento continues to shout at him. Elastic Girl and Negative Man were trapped, unable to do anything to help.Beast Boy glanced back to the machine, the idea struck him, he transformed into Tyrannosaurus Rex again. This time he was heading for the machine, which beat him by few feet."BEAST BOY NO!"It was too late, Beast Boy in his Tyrannosaurus Rex form, crashed the machine. Sending the machine toward to the floor and broke in million pieces and caused a small black hole to form"Curses, Mallah. It is time to go," Brain called his gorilla servant, Mallah arrived and picked up the Brain and left.Beast Boy is now back to his human form, smiling, "I did it!" His smile quickly turns upside down as the ground shook. The black hole grew little more, enough to take down the hideout. The celling crashed down, separating Beast Boy from rest of his team."Mento!""GO! We will be fine!""No, I can help," Beast Boy started to walk, but jumped backward when the huge boulder fell down front of him. He could barely see his team, they were still trapped, but Mento managed to get free."Go, Beast Boy! We will meet you outside.""Don't worry, Garfield. We will be fine. I promise," Rita vowed, giving his adopted son a sad smile."O-ok… I'll meet you guys outside," Beast Boy believed that they will make it. He turned and left, he looked back at them and he doesn't know that will be the last time he will ever see them.Beast Boy made it out, watching the building collapse and the black hole swallowed it whole. There was nothing left out there except a massive crater.He waited for hours and hours, finally he crashed into the ground on his knees, and tears were pouring out of his emerald eyes,"No… You promised…"Then I found my way to Jump City where I was a homeless for two years, then I met you guys.It has been two years since Beast Boy arrived in the Jump City; he is now twelve years old and living in the cardboard box, eating out of garbage, and wearing his ratty, old Doom Patrol uniform and the mask.Two years, he had been hiding.Hiding from his uncle, Joker, and his guilts, regrets; he was hiding himself from the rest of the world.Every day, he wanted to just kill himself to get over with…Every day, he seemed couldn't kill himself, he felt like he was needed here…He felt like everything that had happened was a fate.Something pulling him into the city.The Jump City…Only, he doesn't know…Until one evening, someone crashes on the street, only one block away from his cardboard box.Beast Boy jumped at the sudden explosion, he could see the green smoke coming out in the distance. Curiosity overcame his fears, he walked toward to the explosion and saw a girl with fiery red hair, glowing green eyes, wearing dark armor, and her hands were cuffed.She was speaking in another language that he couldn't understand, he saw her attacking people and the people were fleeing, calling for help.It was his chance to become a hero…Beast Boy was about to stop her from taking another hit on the pillar that is holding the pizza place, but all of the sudden a weapon from nowhere had hit the girl on the face. Beast Boy looked at the direction where the weapon came from and quickly stepped back in the dark.'Robin…'He widened his eyes as he saw the boy who he shot on the leg. He seemed fully recovered, but where is Batman? He wondered, staying in the dark and watching Robin fighting the girl.'Should I help him? No, no you shot him in the leg for god's sake! When he sees you, he will pummel you into bits!'He continued to stare, all of the sudden the girl was getting ready to attack Robin and he was weapon-less.He sighs, 'Well, there goes nothing…'He transformed into a goat and ran toward to the girl, angled his horns right and made an impact, sent her flying out of the way.Quickly transformed into turtle then back to human form, "Beast Boy in the duty, Sir!" silently begged for him to not pummel him to death."Don't call me Sir." That was all he said, he couldn't stop his mouth from gaping, he quickly made up something to cover up, "Wow! You are Robin!"'That's it…' "Where is Batman?""I am going solo now," Robin simply and returned to fighting.Beast Boy widened his eyes, 'Does he remember me?' and decided to help Robin out and silently hoping he would forgive him.As Beast Boy reaches Robin, the girl picked the bus and hurl toward them. They froze in the place, then the huge guy in grey sweater and black pants ran past between Beast Boy and Robin and grabbed the bus with his hands and fling the bus away as if it weighed nothing."Yo, who is messing around my neighborhood?" The guy shouted, and Beast Boy responded quickly, "That girl!" pointed toward the girl with fiery red hair."A'ight, let's go," The guy growled, all three of then started to run, but stopped by a huge black shadow of a bird swoops front of them."Fighting isn't the answer," a quiet monotone voice came from behind them, Beast Boy turned around and saw a girl in cloak, her face was covered by her hood.It was love in the first sight, and Beast Boy didn't even know it.Before the girl noticed the attention from the boys and turned her head, Beast Boy noticed her purple eyes and pale skin. Beast Boy felt something odd, he couldn't shake it off. He continued to stare, but snapped back when he heard Robin, "I'll go."The guy shouted at him, "ARE YOU CRAZY? DID YOU SEE WHAT THAT GIRL CAN DO?"Robin looked at him, "I'll be fine…" then slowly walked toward to the girl and the girl's eyes glowed green and her hands as well, pointing her hands at Robin, preparing to attack. The girl finally trusted Robin when he pulled out a thingy to take the cuffs off her.Beast Boy couldn't hold his laugh when the girl kissed him and spoke in their language, "My name is Starfire, and if you know what is good for you, leave me alone," then she flew off.Robin walked toward the path where Starfire flew off, "I need to make sure that she is not a threat."Beast Boy knew better to escape now before he remember him, but he felt something that he had to do so he went to stop Robin, "I-I can help, Sir""Stop calling me Sir, and I don't need your help. I am going solo." Robin walked off."Yeah, I am out of here." The guy in grey sweater muttered and walked in opposite direction, and the girl in cloak quietly turned to walk in opposite direction as well."Hey, hey," Beast Boy waved his hands toward to the girl, "Where are you going?""Away," She spoke in quiet voice then continued to walk; Beast Boy turns to the guy and ran after him."So… You and I, fighting the crime." Beast Boy tried to smile, but the guy snapped at him, faced him and pulled his hood off, "Take a good look at me, I am a monster."He has blue machine covering half of his face and left eye flashed red, Beast Boy was amazed, "Dude, you don't even look like a monster! You look awesome! Like a Robot Man 2.0!"The guy huffed, "No, you got it wrong. I am a monster," He pulled up his hood, covering his face again.Beast Boy's ears drooped and knew fully that he was not a monster, not even close. He was about to tell him, but he saw the spaceship hovering above him, "Uhh dude…""WHAT?" He snapped, and saw that Beast Boy is pointing 'up' with his index finger, he looked up and his jaw dropped, "We gotta warn Robin,"Beast Boy nodded, and they ran to the direction that Robin went. The girl in cloak saw whole thing and decided to quietly follow them.They arrived and saw Robin standing in the candy store and Starfire was eating all of the candy in the store."Robin, you gotta see something outside," The guy gestured toward the door and Robin was puzzled as he walked out and saw the spaceships.Beast Boy startled when he saw the girl in cloak beside him, "Whoa, you scared me."The girl widened her eyes, "S-sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."Beast Boy couldn't help it, but chuckled, "Hey, it's no worries. I am Beast Boy, what is your name?""Raven," Beast Boy could barely hear her, "Raven, what a nice name!"Beast Boy could see hint of pink on Raven's cheeks, "T-thanks," Raven gave him a tiniest smile he ever seen.'She is adorable' Beast Boy thought, smiling at her, but snapped back into reality when Robin walked to Starfire, "Why are those spaceships here?""They are looking for me," Starfire stated simply, "All of you must go, and I'll fight them myself.""No way, we are not leaving you," Robin glared at Starfire"Fine, do whatever you humans want," Starfire flew off the buildingThe fighting with the aliens began…All of them stared as the spaceships faded in the sky, Beast Boy glances at them, "So… Why not we form a team?"Deep down, he knew it was mistake, he should be running off by now. 'What is wrong with me' Beast Boy thought angrily, but turned into surprised when Robin said, "Yeah, why not?""Works for me, and y'all my name is Cyborg," The robot man grinned and Raven simply nodded, then Starfire smiles at them, "Oh glorious! I will be so grateful if you let me join!"Cyborg glanced at Beast Boy, "Why are you wearing a goofy-looking mask?"Beast Boy was baffled, "But, what about my secret identity?"Raven scoffed quietly, "What secret identity? You're green."Beast Boy wondered for a while, 'It won't hurt…She is right after all…' He took the mask off."That's better," Cyborg chuckled.They all glances at the island with a pod sticking, looking like a T shape building, and all of them nodded in agreement.On the island, Beast Boy mumbled a response for Cyborg, "Yeah, if you like sunshine and the beach."Raven giggled a quiet giggle, "You know some of your jokes are funny."Beast Boy shot up and looked at Raven, and seeing her smile, and heard her giggle. His eyes shined.I was so happy when you don't even know who I am and what I have done. It was my chance to start over. I picked up the mask as a comic relief so you guys wouldn't ever suspect.Of course, once I get the chance to start over, I messed it up once again. That's why I have to go. I cannot stay, if I do… It will only get worse.I hope you all forgive me.I love you guys, thank you for being my friends and my family.-Beast Boy aka Garfield Mark Logan.Robin sighs, glancing up meeting his teammates' faces.All of them have tears streaked face.Cyborg shakes his head, "He doesn't deserve that. When I see him, I've always thought that nothing bad ever happened to him. He was so happy."Starfire sniffles, "We gave him the happiness."Raven and Robin nods.Cyborg reaches over the pile of the letters, searching for his name. When he found it, he brings the letter into front of his face, "So the individuals next?"Everyone grabs theirs and stare at the unopened envelops.Starfire sighs, "I shall go first…"
