Underestimated

Chapter: 1

The rhythm of his own punches seemed distant in Beast Boy's mind. He was in the gym, the place no one would look for him; they all thought he was a worthless, lazy bum who would never work out unless he was forced to during training. But in reality, he had been in here a lot lately. The last time he had been in there that frequently was when those chemicals messed with his DNA. But this helped him to relieve stress, mainly from his teammates who never took him seriously.

Serious… In their image of him, that word did not exist in his vocabulary. He was just the stupid comic relief, always cracking stupid jokes, messing up all the time, acting stupid, existing only to be made fun of. That was Beast Boy. But it wasn't.

When he had first joined the Teen Titans, he messed up a couple times. Ok, several times. Because of that, none of the others really listened to him.

So he needed a new identity, one not meant to be serious. Maybe then they wouldn't just ignore him. So he became the "comic relief." But that didn't work; it just made him the target of more ridicule. But by the time he had realized that, it was already part of him.

Beast Boy leaned against the wall and sighed. He missed Terra. She was the only one that understood him. She found his jokes funny, but she also took him seriously.

But he had lost her… Lost her three times… He longed to just be able to hold her. But she was dead. Dead because she had sacrificed herself to save them. But still, he knew none of them were too serious on their promise to bring her back.

He got up and started thrashing the punching bag again. It was all Robin's fault! She would have never ran away in the first place if it weren't for him. It was also Raven's fault; she was never too friendly to Terra.

He was interrupted by flashing red lights and the sound of the alarm. Beast Boy sighed. There was not much he could do, just try to earn their respect back and not screw up.

Beast Boy was the last one to jump into the sewer after the others. Robin and Cyborg were already surveying the surroundings.

"Any idea who or what we're looking for?" asked Cyborg.

"Don't know," responded Robin. "For all we know, this could be a prank, but we can't take that risk."

"So we're just going off a letter that said 'an old acquaintance' is back and if we want to see our city again, meet them in the sewers?" said Raven, suspiciously. "Sounds like a trap to me."

Beast Boy spoke up, "But at least if it is, we're expecting it." Just as he thought, no one responded or even acknowledged that he had spoken.

"We have to split up. Raven Beast Boy and Cyborg, you guys go in that direction," he ordered, nodding in the direction he wanted them to go. "Starfire and I'll look in the other direction.

It was dark with the only light to go off of being the one of Cyborg's shoulder, which didn't cover a lot. Beast Boy morphed into an owl to see more clearly.

Cyborg stopped, and so did Raven and Beast Boy perched on a rail.

"My sensors are picking up traces of radiation down here," Cyborg informed them. "So unless a certain someone transforms into a roach, we shouldn't go any further." Behind him and Raven were a couple of Slade's robots, but Beast Boy was the only one who saw them. He had two choices: warn them and potentially regain their respect, or let them discover them the hard way. He decided to go with the second option.

Raven turned to speak to Cyborg and saw them, but before she could react, one shot her with a beam of red light and another shot him from behind, causing them both to fall to the ground, unconscious.

Beast Boy transformed into a gorilla, but they didn't attack. They just darted in the opposite direction, so he transformed again, this time into a cheetah, and pursued them.

"Raven, Cyborg, Beast boy?" said Robin into his communicator, but got no response. "Anyone?" Still no response. "Starfire, I'm not getting any answer, I think they might be in trouble!"

But as they turned to go back, they found themselves surrounded by robots. "This is gonna take a while…"

Beast Boy hadn't even realized where he had gone and had no idea how he ended up where he was, but now he was in a large room with monitors on the wall. He had lost sight of the robots, but in from of the screens stood-

"Slade…" He ran towards him with an angry glint in his eye, but Slade turned around and shot him. Everything went black and unconsciousness took him.
