The alarm sounded before Robin could scold Beast Boy for allowing this to happen, so in the battle the Titan's faced Robin's anger and Beast Boy raging emotions traveled in the battle messing with their better judgments.
---
Usually Robin would let Beast Boy's mistakes to slide claiming them as 'cute slip ups,' but this time was different.
“Part of your responsibility is to listen” Robin demanded as he slammed his fist against his free hand still angered by the incident with Starfire and Raven.
The youthful male, Garfield, remained motionless; as his concealed hands tightened to fist, quivering under the pressure of his unforgiving and strict leader’s reprimand. Garfield’s forest colored eyes solidified, and bonded to the floor of the common room.
“Sorry” Beast Boy whispered choking on the upcoming tears. Beast Boy could only summon Cyborg’s teasing, “What’s up with the new gear?” His gear had spits of semen and his outfit no longer fit. But the moment he was committed to the battle with Cinderblock he was pressed into a sea of darkness. His mind swarmed to the area between human and animal, the area he was placed in.
The Boy Wonder’s tone was shattering, “Your foolish actions nearly jeopardized the life of your teammates.” Beast Boy’s actions constantly resurfaced within the walls of Robin’s mind. Robin envisioned the changeling forming into a rhinoceros to charge into Cinderblock, but accidentally collided with an explosible tank. Robin was worried about him. “An order was given to you and recklessly you choose to disobey the command-”
Garfield’s insecurities resurfaced.
Cyborg interjected realizing the route the Boy Wonder was trotting upon, fear, worry. When fear mustered into Robin’s subconscious he crafted accusations on a tangible vessel, “Beast Boy was doing what he thought was best, Robin.” Robin gazed at the intruder of his rampage. Garfield twitched gently. “Calm down” Cyborg smoothly trotted to the center, “We safely dodged danger’s path and beat Cinderblock’s arse” Cyborg smiled.
“Barely,” Robin chided, “Beast Boy’s tactics were executed to receive attention.” Robin circumvented Cyborg, slowly approaching the young changeling who was trembling.
Cyborg stated while observing his silent friend, “Robin-”
Robin interrupted, “He needs to hear this.” He faced Beast Boy, “The battles we encounter are not for your entertainment. We are here to protect. When an order is given-”
A male’s voice ricocheted off the walls of Beast Boy’s mind. The male’s voice was menacing and powerful, “You must heed to my words”
Garfield’s eyes widened as tears engulfed his vision. Robin’s voice pierced the nauseating cloud the male was casting upon Beast Boy. Beast Boy clenched on to his stomach and quickly tightened his fist.
Robin eyed Beast Boy, “Beast Boy”
The male’s voice rose to thunder, “Garfield, strength must be within you”
Garfield’s nails pierced the skin of his palms deflowering his gloves with his blood; his face became stained with his tears and sweat.
“You need to grow up” Robin and the male’s voice amalgamated
Cyborg watched the fallen tears; he observed what Robin could not eye, “Robin that’s enough!”
Robin peered at Cyborg’s disappointed expression and comprehended the damage he afflicted on Beast Boy; he noticed that the thin frame before him was quivering and silently weeping.
“Beast Boy-” Robin began; stretched his arm to connect with Beast Boy’s shoulder, however he hesitated and withdrew consumed with the theory that Beast Boy needed “tough-love”. Robin silently pressed passed Beast Boy to enter his room and compunctions.
Cyborg sympathetically smiled as he stepped to Beast Boy. He placed his hand on Beast Boy’s shoulder, “I know it may be hard to see but Robin cares he was just afraid-”
Beast Boy faintly smiled through a river of tears and absently stared into Cyborg’s eyes. ‘Enjoyment overlaps sorrow’ Beast Boy contemplated
Cyborg halted, understanding Beast Boy’s façade. Cyborg nodded, a silent agreement to Beast Boy’s hidden plea for isolation. Beast Boy began to move. He desired to remove this pressure. He desired words that would soothe him. Cyborg’s hand slid from Beast Boy’s shoulder as Beast Boy trotted to his room. Cyborg noticed Beast Boy’s bleeding free hands. Before Beast Boy entered the roof he was about to rap on Raven’s door, but she was probably angry about exploding on her face, for she didn't even talk to him before battle nor after battle.
Anyway even if he knocked she wouldn't respond and the door wouldn't open.
