Vindicated

Chapter 5

 

Robin and Raven were just glaring at me as I walked toward the desk. They looked totally pissed. I almost jumped out of my skin when Robin coldly said “Sit down.”

 

“Ok guys what's up? Why am I getting the third degree here?”

 

Robin stood up and exploded into his barking orders mode. “What is wrong with you Beast Boy? Do you have any idea the security protocol that you broke simply by letting her stay here without letting us know. What if she had planned to sneak in that way and attack us from the inside? We would have had another Terra incident on our hands and no one in the tower would have known about it. Plus there is this new threat, what if she has something to do with it? Do you have any idea of the risk that you put everyone at by allowing her access to the tower?”

 

While I was listening to Robin lecture me about what a bad boy I had been I was thinking of things to say in my defense; since I had been recording everything all of the events were pretty fresh in my mind so it was no problem. After he finally shut up I tried to put my two cents in.

 

“Well I thought that she…”

 

Raven cut me off in the middle of my sentence, so rude, and started her own repetition of what Robin said. “That's the problem Beast Boy, you didn't think. I'm getting sick and tired of you acting like we aren't in the middle of a damn war against some of the most ruthless villains in the world. They would not hesitate to use your idiocy and good nature to trap us and kill us. You need to stop acting with such reckless abandon and start thinking of the big picture.”

 

“You're sick and tired? YOU'RE SICK AND TIRED?!?!” I was pretty pissed at that point and just went off on them; every ounce of depression and frustration that had built up exploded in one big out burst. To be honest, I can't believe I had that in me. “Maybe if you two would shut the hell up for a change and stop accusing me of things I could defend myself. You make it sound like I didn't take that into account and take precautions before bringing her here. You make it sound like I don't care about what happens to you. You make it sound like I am a complete idiot. Well it isn't true. Did you bother to ask if I did a background check on her? No. Did you even think that I had her handcuffed to the bed while she was here? No. Do you want to know why you didn't ask? I'll tell you why, because you just blow things out of proportion like always and can't just be happy for me for a change. I finally found something that makes me happy as a person and you just come along and bitch at me for it. Well you know what, fuck you. I'm sick and tired of taking your crap. I'm always there for you and I never give you shit beyond just some kidding around about who gets the last slice of pizza. But you two just can't keep from calling my judgment and abilities to be a member of this team into question. Well if you think I keep causing security risks then maybe I should just leave.”

 

There was an awkward silence as I was staring the two most dangerous members of the Titans down. After it was all over I related the stare down to what you might see in an old western where the sheriff is facing off against the bad guys getting ready to draw, and I was ready to fight too. They could probably tell from how heavy I was breathing and the claw marks that I left in Robin's desk. After about a minute of just staring at each other, although it felt like and hour, I turned around and left his office.

 

When I slammed open the door I was surprised to see the others standing there staring at me. What would I say to Starfire? How could I explain to her that I would never get to eat her strange foods again? And what about Cyborg? Will I ever get to play him in Gran Turismo for the ten millionth time? While I didn't know it at the time, it was those small memories of them that truly mean the most to me. I couldn't believe that they will be gone forever. The laughter of my friends will never echo in my head, only in my dreams.

 

“It looks like we're being kicked out Em. Let's go.” With that I grabbed Em and went to my room. I quickly packed a few items that I needed and left without a word to the others. It was too painful to say goodbye. I know that I hardly ever express this side, but I was really in pain. As I took off from the shores of the island I took one last look at the tower and saw Star staring up at me from the roof. The look on her face will be burned in my memory forever. It was a sad, defeated look; almost as if she lost a piece of herself that day. I only saw it for a brief second, but it was enough to cause be to erupt into a violent fit of tears in mid flight.
