This is one of the best fics I have read in a while. The pacing is excellent, the emotions are very well portrayed, and the end of chapter 31 chilled me to the bone. You are an outstanding author, capable of portraying emotions of all sorts beautifully and accurately, in a way that evokes strong empathy in the reader. I really appreciate your dedication to accuracy when it comes to Garfield's backstory, too! And all of the character dynamics are executed phenomenally. I stayed up until 5 am to read all of the 31 chapters currently up; your writing style is perfectly enticing, which is something very difficult to achieve for most. I aspire to write as you do. I started writing an angsty story surrounding Beast Boy and his past, and while it does not come anywhere close to the level of mastery present here, you have motivated me to complete it. Thank you for being such an inspiration.

As it has been a while since your last update, I fear that this story may be abandoned. I hope not; such a brilliant work deserves a proper ending. I hope all is well with you, and that you conclude this story with the bravado and poise I know you are capable of. Have a lovely day!

Judging from the length of time since the last update I’m guessing that this story has been abandoned. If you are still out there, please finish the story! I need closure!

Oh my god. What a horrible time to have started reading this fic. It's so fascinating and well written, but omg that last part tore out my soul. Well the worst part was realising that there wasn't another chapter. Like holy crap.

Huh, I guess Negative Man escaped somehow. I can't see Slade letting him go. Did the Titans and the others find him? That might be why they are frustrated by the lack of clues. A week already. I can see why everyone is tense and high strung. That much timing searching with no leads would do that. It is easy to say that yelling won't solve anything, but all that stress builds up and has to go somewhere.

So Raven is going to try for the mental link she did with Robin. With no way of knowing where Beast Boy is or how far away he is. Not to mention his mental state. I can see why this would be a big risk and something Raven saved for the last resort. The fact that Starfire and Jinx can help share the strain with Raven is good. It helps lower the risks to Raven herself.

So Negative Man was shown a video of what happened with Robot Man. I assume that Mento and Elasta-Girl saw as well. The things Negative Man said about Beast Boy's mental state are quite worrying. It sounds like the team is now on the clock to find Beast Boy before it is too late. No sleep, and most likely no food or water either. The pet and collaring was what really got to him. No wonder Beast Boy wanted time alone after the Soto incident.

Beast Boy seems to be quite poorly. His human side is really being worn down at this point. Ironically, it is his animal instincts that are fighting to have Beast Boy keep his sense of self. On the plus side, it appears that Raven's gambit worked and she found Beast Boy. From what she said, it hopefully means she got a lock on his position so the team can move out.

With Slade appearing before Beast Boy again, the Titans may be out of time. I admit it is hard reading what Slade has done to Beast Boy. I am not sure having his soul become Trigon's toy would be punishment enough for what he has done. This time he is using both Mento and Elasti-Girl. Not taking any chances I see. He really is treating Beast Bo like his pet, shocking Beast Boy until he obeys.

So Negative Man's prediction was right. Beast Boy couldn't bring himself to watch another person he cared about die in front of him. SO now his humanity is pretty much suppressed. I am guessing the meal Slade gave Beast Boy was Galtry.

The silver lining is that there is still a part of him fighting. He was unable to kill Mento. I am not sure if the memory of Raven gave his subconscious the strength to resist or if Raven still had some connection with their link. Mento and Elasti-Girl at least used the opening to escape. Was the force Mento's powers of something else?

Things are pretty bad at the moment. We just have to hope that when the team arrives they can find a way to help Beast Boy. Hopefully Beast Boy isn't too far away.
RPGPersona chapter 30 . 6/12/2017
After that cliffhanger we finally get to see what happens next. Well that was a twist I wasn't expecting. While Raven wakes up with a sense of dread, there appears to be no reaction to Beast Boy's choice from anyone.

Right, both Robin and Cyborg would be put on edge by Beast Boy's apology earlier. No sign of Jinx for three hours, that is not good. Considering where the last chapter left off, Jinx must have followed after Beast Boy without signalling anyone. The large time frame is also worrying since so much could have happened within that time. Come on Kid Flash, getting all worked up in this situation is not going to help anyone. No one is saying Jinx has done anything wrong.

No answer from the call, but at least Cyborg was able to get a lock on their communicators. Kid Flash wasted not time heading over to that location. Wow, I was not expecting a battlefield that savage. It looks like there was some serious fighting. Jinx must be in bad shape for Kid Flash to request the med bay be prepped. Robin keeps a cool head, though, and gives everyone orders about how to proceed, including having Raven check Beast Boy's room for clues.

Yeah, those wounds are pretty bad. At least Jinx doesn't seem in immediate danger of dying. Raven wasn't able to get the full picture from Jinx's head, but she was able to find out a rough idea what happened. Slade took no chances with the meeting and had plenty of robotic backup. Jinx and Beast Boy fought bravely against them, but in the end Jinx was overwhelmed and Beast Boy was forced to surrender.

Beast Boy is in a pretty bad spot. A shifting shock collar to prevent him from fighting back, and the whole point of injuring Jinx was to send a message to the Titan. After two failed attempts, he is taking no chances with his third Apprentice attempt. Slade really does all the cards at the moment. It will take the Titans really pulling together to find a way through this. I am glad the fight hasn't left Beast Boy yet.

Well Jinx is awake, that is good. So the rest of the team gets the full story. With the evidence left in Beast Boy's room, Robin is quick to figure out why he told Jinx about his leaving. Jinx is really beating herself up about this. I think she did the best she could in the circumstances. No the question is what the team is going to do to find Slade and get Beast Boy back.

Wow, Slade really isn't playing around. His first action to break Beast Boy is to force him to kill or watch Robot Man die. Of course the Doom Patrol is still captured. Why would Slade give up such a powerful bargaining chip. Not surprised he used Galtry as the victim. He is someone Beast Boy hates and has already served his purpose.

It looked like Beast Boy might cross that bridge for a second, but Slade made the mistake and starting Robot Man up as he died. Robot Man was able to stop Beast Boy from destroying his humanity to attempt to save his life. There is no guarantee he would let the Doom Patrol go even if Beast Boy was 100% loyal. Slade can try to put the blame on Beast Boy all he wants, but he is the one who created this situation and he is the one who killed Robot Man. Slade is the only one to blame. Unfortunately, Beast Boy is still letting ti get to him. Lets hope the other can think of something.
