I’ll Be

Chapter 13

Cyborg’s POV

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I feel myself fall on my back. Somehow I managed to be back in Titan’s tower. I look at my sensor just to see if I’ve been transported backwards or forwards. It reads the date is the 6th of November. Three days in the past. I find myself in the kitchen. I find a prefect replica of myself by the kitchen sink dumping white things down the garbage disposal.

“Dude! What the hell are you doing?!” a familiar voice shrieks.

Both my replica and myself turn around. A mixture of many different feelings surround me as I stare at the look on his face. The look of horror and extreme hurt. I can feel his pain.

I hear my replica reply back. I cringe, not just of what he says, but how he says it. “I’m getting rid of your tofu. There’s no room to store my meat. I’ve told you over ane over again: This is a tofu-free zone. You want to eat tofu, go somewhere else.”

I stare unbelievingly at my replica. Did I really say that?I ask myself in horror. I watch as Beast Boy’s head drops. He lifts his head back up and looks at my replica straight in the eye. Feelings start swirling around me. Despair, anger, anguish, but most of all sadness. I feel as though I have been pierced through the heart, the agony is almost overpowering me. “Point taken, Cy,” he says in a cracking tone. “I’ll get out of your way. I just wanted to say goodbye.” He turns to walk out of the kitchen, his head down. I follow him till he reaches his bedroom.

I watch as he sits in his desk, pick up a pen and write something. I look over his shoulder and realize he’s finishing a letter. A letter to me. I quickly read it.

Dear Cyborg,

My life will be ending in a couple of hours. This will be the last time you will hear from me. I just want to say I’m sorry for everything. I’m sorry for giving you that virus. I don’t know if I’ve ever apologized for endangering your life, so I say it now. I never meant to, and I hope that someday you’ll forgive me for it. I’m sorry I’m always such a screw-up. Please forgive me that I’m not very smart. I guess I just wasn’t meant to be. I’m sorry I attacked you, Star, and Rob. I want you to know I’d never do that if I had complete control. I ‘m sorry for how I acted before I took the antidote.
Before I end my life, I want to you to know why I don’t eat meat. I want you to understand why. Before I gained my powers, I ate meat. But after I became able to turn into any animal, I learned what they do to them. I’m terrified of being captured in animal form and butchered. I’m not trying to turn you into a vegetarian. I’m just telling you my view on things.
Thanks for playing gamestation with me and for being my best friend. I’ll miss you.

Your friend forever,

BB

I watch as Beast Boy glances at the gun on his bed. My heart pounds in anxiety. I can see images of animals being tortured. I start shaking. I watch as Beast Boy aims the gun to his head. Please don’t do it, please I think to myself in desperation.

“Best if I end it now.” I notice his hand is shaking violently. “No point of causing the others pain. No point of sticking around when I’m just going to be in the way.”

I watch as he drops the gun and falls onto his bed. “Not now.” he whispers. “I still have to say goodbye to Raven,” he whispers.

I feel small amount of relief wash over me, but that still doesn’t get rid of the great amounts of pain and guilt flowing through me. Beast Boy’s my best friend, and I treated him like a nothing. I feel a hand pull me through the floor. When I return to the waiting room, I’m a changed Titan.

I hit the ground with a thud. I am not sure how, but somehow I am back at the tower. I pull out my communicator. “Titans, do you read me?” No response. Why in the hell am I here? I ask myself.

I see a little green mouse scurrying across the hall. Beast Boy I think to myself. I decide to follow him. He leads me towards the living room. I watch as Beast Boy pauses, turning back into human form. I watch as he listens intently. I listen too. I can hear my voice talking to Raven.


“Isn’t Beast Boy going with you guys?” Raven is saying.

“He said he didn’t want to come.” I am shocked at the sarcasm in the voice.

I watch as Beast Boy turns and heads back to his room. “They didn’t even ask me. They probably still think I’m a monster.” I hear him whisper. I follow him down the hall. I’ll have to put you in jail keeps ringing in the hall. I can feel greats amount of anguish and agony surround me. I feel guilt and self-hatred.

I stand in front of his doorway, unable to move. I start shaking as I see Beast Boy pick up the gun off the floor and aim it to his head. “I’m so sorry, Rae.” He whispers.
I wait for Raven to come in and save him. It never happens. Beast Boy pulls the trigger. “No!” I scream, falling to my knees.

My heart pounds as I watch Beast Boy fall to the ground, a puddle of blood forming around him. Suddenly Raven rushes right through me. “Beast Boy!” she screams.

I want to look away, but find I can’t. I watch as Raven pull him into her arms. “Beast Boy, why?” she cries.

The pain is incredible. I shut my eyes, tears cascading down my face. I hear a faint voice whisper. “Tell the others I’m so sorry. I love you, Raven.”

“No,” she whispers, her sobs echoing the room.

As I watch Raven cradle Beast Boy in her arms, I realize that I’m not in Raven’s memory. This is what could have happened if Raven hadn’t of interfered. My body shakes even more as the realization hits me. The way I’ve been trying to protect him is killing him on the inside. I realize he’s dead on the inside, and it’s all my fault. I feel a hand pull me back into the waiting room.

I land back into the waiting room, my body still shaking. Starfire is beside me, tears cascading down her face. I pull my arms around her, but don’t look at her.

“Now you understand,” Raven whispers, a tear falling down her cheek. “Why he’s not ready to see you.”

I don’t notice that Raven has left. Instead, all I can think about is what I just saw.
