Crow coughs up blood and in between coughs he asks, “Why?”
 
The answer is simple. One word- no, it is one name.
 
“TERRA!” Beast Boy responds kicking Crow in the face, blood trickling down his mouth.
 
“HER?!” Crow asks in blood, sweat and tears. Blood and sweat run down his forehead, and into his eyes as he cries.
 
“Yes. You killed her. You decapitated her, and told us she left. You sent her to the bottom of the ocean where she was turned into a zombie, and put against you again.” Beast Boy grinds his foot into Crow's chest.
 
“YOU HAVE IT WRONG!” Crow cries, “She tried to kill me! It was either her or me, and fate chose me to live!”
 
“For what? So you could kill Raven? You are a fucking hypocrite.” He punches him in the chest, and blood covers his fist. Blood splatters everywhere.
 
“LISTEN!” Crow flips over, and is on top of Best Boy, ready to decapitate him. “I killed her out of self defense! If I could, I would bring her back!” Crow screams in his face. “Also, even though I didn't like killing her, I kind of enjoyed life with her dead! Plus, she was a bitch, and probably a slutty whore!” he says, punching Beast Boy.
 
He drops Beast Boy, and kicks him to the side. They punch each other until they are both bleeding, and almost dead.
 
Crow finishes Beast Boy off, and notices, Beast Boy's eyes are a little red, compared to the pink they are usually.
 
Crow heals him, and says, “As long as you promise to not speak of this, I won't tell the other Titans, about anything. I will let our lives go on as normal. I'll erase Cyborg's memory, and we can be friends again. We didn't try to kill each other.” Crow says, healing himself, making them look normal, and as if nothing happened.
 
“Alright…” Beast Boy says, getting up. He shakes Crow's hand, and they fly back to the others.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
 
The other Titans wake up, and find Crow, and Beast Boy tending their wounds.
 
“What happened?” Cyborg asks Crow.
 
“There were explosives under the dock, and it exploded. All of you got knocked unconsus, and me and Beast Boy were blown a distance away,” Crow says, this is a lie.
 
“Damn, it feels like I died!” Cyborg says holding his head.
 
“That's quite possible…” Crow says, now attending Starfire's wounds.
 
Beast Boy wakes Robin and Raven, and tells them the same rehearsed lie. They buy it.
 
“Lets go home, Titans.” Robin says.
 
“Where are the criminals?” Starfire asks.
 
“They got blown up in the blast,” Crow says, “The crate, well, we don't know where it is…”
 
“Then, we've sort of failed...” Cyborg says, and they all walk off.
 
Above them, on the building, a man with demon wings and horns sits on the roof. He looks at his hands in fear, and flies off into the night sky.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
 
Back at the tower, the Titans prepare for sleep. Beast Boy takes another shower, and then goes to his room.
 
Crow watches television, and he is greeted by Raven, who sits next to him. She kisses him, and then after a silence asks, “What really happened?”
 
“My powers exploded, and killed bane, knocked the others out, and then…” He tries not to bring it up, “Something horrible happened.”
 
“What?”
 
“You wouldn't believe how horrible.”
 
“What was it?” She asks a bit impatiently.
 
“It… hurt,” he says to himself, and rubs his chest, where the wounds would be.
 
“Stop dancing around it, and tell me!” Raven asks angrily.
 
“I… can't…” he says, tears falling down his face.
 
“Why?” she asks interested.
 
“It was too horrible to talk about…” he says, gripping the torn part of his cloak.
----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------
 
Beast boy walks into his room, and picks up a mirror. The beast comes into view.
 
In excruciating detail, he explains what happened to him to it, and expresses his emotions.
 
The beast nods, and definitely doesn't care, but listens anyway. He hears Beast Boy tell him about the insults about Terra.
 
`Perfect place to pick at…' it thinks.
 
“Those insults are horrible! That's just mean. He disserves to die! Just look at that! He even said he enjoyed it!” the beast holds back a smile.
 
“Exactly…” Beast Boy says aloud.
 
“Well, I guess you won't kill him, so I guess I should leave forever.” The beast disappears.
 
The beast reappears as says the will of Best Boy.
 
“What?” he says angrily to the boy.
 
“Beast?” He asks.
 
“Yes?”
 
“How do you kill that monstrosity?” Beast Boy's eyes glow red.
 
The beast smiles insanely, and is glad he asked this.
