Raven... Star...  No way.

[Lesson one of being trapped in a horror movie.  The cool comic relief guy always gets bumped off first.  The appropriate response to being asked to die, therefore, was to stick your fingers in your ears and close your eyes and sing the Clash of the Planets theme song at the top of your lungs until it all went away

Doom Patrol.... Beast Boy are you feeling alright?

[shapechanger]

Yes'm, feeling perfectly fine! A little bit cold, I guess, but that's mostly my own fault for not exercising as much as I should.

[sarcasmandbooks]

It is winter.

But Doom Patrol? What about the Titans?

[shapechanger]

Don't think I've heard of an organization by that nomicker, ma'am.

Oh - Are you from the future, too? Will I be leaving the Doom Patrol again at some point?

[Phone]

[devilwithananny]

I don't believe I like your new tone.

[shapechanger]

My what?

Oh, uh. Shoot, did it again. I know I have a problem with the stammering, but I didn't rehearse this message well. Sorry, sir!

[devilwithananny]

Your current behavior.

It's orderly. Precise. Quick, and consistent.

I don't like it. Why are you acting like that.

[shapechanger]

Uhh. I'm not sure what you mean, Louis. I've always been like this. ...Well. I mean, not I, exactly, uh, hm. I'm not explaining myself well.

It's just that my team leader has strict guidelines for the way a young superhero ought to conduct himself.

[Action, Chandra is Deleted, FYI]

[chandra_ablaze]

[A neat goblin? Now she'd seen everything.]

What's with the sudden neat freak stint?

[shapechanger]

[Beast Boy whirls around with a surprised expression.]

Who're you?

Please identify yourself before I take defensive action.

[chandra_ablaze]

[... now that's not supposed to happen.]

Didn't we do this already?

[shapechanger]

No, ma'am, we did not. I've lived by myself since I arrived here.

(She stares. She can't help but stare. And then she's running, because she knows that's Beast Boy's back she can see up ahead, and he's not gone...

Beast Boy!! Wait!

[shapechanger]

[And Beast Boy's stack of comics mysteriously go flying. It's still so strange to hear that voice...]

Gah!

I mean, uh. Hey! ...You, uh. You're still here.

[forgotten_titan]

(Oh, whoops. She quickly helps him to pick up the comics.)

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that!! It's just...Raven and Starfire are gone!

[shapechanger]

((Sorry for being so late!))

[Beast Boy will smile a little ruefully.]

Yeah. Aha. I... heard.

[The smile fades quickly as he recollects his things.]

They're gonna be OK. I'm gonna make sure of it.

[phone; years and years late]

[klorbags]

...Beast Boy? Why are you speaking of the Doom Patrol again?

Even later than late.

[shapechanger]

Why, uh, would I not? Even if they're not here, I'm still a member of the team.

[klorbags]

I suppose so, but before that I would have expected you to come to the other Titans with a question...
