It was cold outside. The breeze was cold. The solid steel metal of the Titans Tower was cold. Beast Boy was the coldest of all. The rock he sat upon was uncomfortable leaning against the tower. He stared out into the vast waters across the horizon. The waves splashed against the rocky shore and sprayed Beast Boy with a mist of ice cold water. He shivered and the tears on his cheek were so cold he thought they were burning into his skin. He was so upset about Terra. He loved her and wanted her back. Why did she have to die? Why? He mourned her death greatly, crying for the past 3 days. 3 days after the incident. 3 days since she was turned to stone. And today Robin gave up trying to find a working antidote to reverse what Terra had done to herself. Beast Boy sat there, staring into the emptiness of an unending horizon. He would help her...he would.

“I hope Beast Boy is ok...” Robin said taking a bite out of the luscious pepperoni pizza the titans had gotten. “He seemed really upset when I told him we couldn’t reverse the process.” He took another bite of his slice and swallowed followed by a sip of his Coke.

“I’m sure he’ll be fine.” Raven suggested. “She’s gone, big deal, he’ll get over it.”

“Yeah, he’s a tuff guy I’m sure he’s ok.” Cyborg had just finished his sixth slice of pizza. “I can’t imagine that a good game of robo-racers wouldn’t cheer him up.” He smiled with a huge grin.

“I’m still gonna’ check on him when we get back. It’s going to be hard to do our work if Beast Boy is having an emotional break down.” Robin finished his last slice and put his arm around Starfire. She blushed a bit and took a sip of her soda....

Beast Boy clenched his fist. His sadness turned to anger. He was so angry. Not at Robin. Not at Slade. Not at anyone ...but himself. He should have saved Terra. He was so capable of doing it. He could have saved her and he knew it. He knew it with all his heart. He would find an antidote for Terra. He would. Beast Boy climbed off the rock outside and walked into the Titans Tower. He walked up the stairs onto the roof and changed into a Seagull. He knew 1 person that could help him, and if he couldn’t...no one can. Dr. Jack Mantel. Jack was Beast Boy’s Physician when he was only a little boy 4 or 5. Over the years he and Beast Boy had become very close friends. Dr. Mantel had gone to collage for 20 years as a physicist and a chemist. Beast Boy recognized him like a second father, a person he could trust more than any other.

He spread his wings and began to flap them as fast as he could. He was going to Europe, to a university in Italy where Dr. Mantel was currently studying a new form of matter dematerializer... Leaving no note, not a sign of where he was going, not the slightest hint. He left. Beast Boy knew that he could no longer rely on his close friends for this matter any longer. Not because he doubted them, but because they had reached their limits and could do no more good in this situation. Beast Boy didn’t need them getting in the way.

“Hello?” Starfire called into the dark Titans Tower. No response. “Beast Boy,” she called again,” Robin would like to discuss the current situation with you.” A look of worry took over her face. No response again. She walked through the door of the Titans Tower followed by Robin, Raven, and Cyborg. They wandered the tower searching for Beast Boy. Not a sign, no idea where he went or what he left for. Now all the titans, even Raven, were starting to worry. This was bad. Real bad...........they all knew it wasn’t like Beast Boy to take off without saying anything. That was more Robin’s style anyways. And they defiantly knew something was wrong in the first place. Beast Boy? Turning down a pizza?! This was a problem.
