Beast Boy's keen eagle eyes were scanning the areas below as he flew past them, but he found no trace of Tom or his brother. Beast Boy landed on top of one of the buildings and turned into a bloodhound. Beast Boy could barely manage to pick up a scent, the wind and snow made his lungs burn from the cold. Beast Boy ignored his discomfort and followed in the direction of the scent he found.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Beast Boy followed it to the edge of the roof and looked down below to the street where he saw something being buried by the snow. Beast Boy quickly turned back into an eagle and swooped down to see what it was. Beast Boy hovered just above the ground before he turned back into a human and picked up the object from under the falling snow. “I'm getting close.” Beast Boy said to himself as he looked down at what he held in his hands. It was an amulet, the one Tom wore. Beast Boy put it in his pocket and turned back into a bloodhound so he could follow the scent further.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
The other Titans were all following Beast Boy's signal in the T car, shivering from the cold wind as it rushed at them through the broken windshield. Robin looked as though he was in a state of calm fury, the way he looked every time they were on there way to fight a new threat. Cyborg was trying to hold back the rage he felt for Tony busting up his car and taking Tom, he was saving it all up for the fight. Starfire watched Robin and Cyborg from the back seat and could easily understand there anger. Starfire looked over at Raven who seemed a bit tenser then usually did before a fight. Starfire could understand that feeling as well, they not only had to find a bad guy, they had to save their friend from him as well. Starfire was about to say something to Raven, but was interrupted by Cyborg. “Alright… I think Beast Boy found something.” Cyborg shouted triumphantly, speeding up to get closer to Beast Boy's signal.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Robin thought for a second. “Don't go to fast, if Tony hears the car he could hurt Tom before we get a chance to help.” Robin said before he stopped to think of something new. Robin pulled out his communicator. “Beast Boy, we're going to keep some distance from you. I want you to give us a signal as soon as you find Tom and his brother so we can move in silently.” Robin said into his communicator, knowing Beast Boy wouldn't be able to respond in his animal form. Robin watched Beast Boys signal move slowly, he knew Beast Boy was getting close now. Robin sat back and hoped that they weren't too late.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Beast Boy followed the scent into an alley and knew that they had to be in one of the buildings. Beast Boy turned back into a human and took out his communicator. “I'm coming up on them now… they are in one of the two buildings I'm standing next to. I'll send you another signal when I find them.” Beast Boy said before he turned into a snow owl and flew up to check all of the windows.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tom felt the room spinning beneath him as he looked up at Tony. “Why are you doing this?” Tom asked as his head finally started to clear.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tony was silent for a moment. “You are needed for a multi-billion dollar experiment, your body can generate and transfer energy better then any other source of power… you were the one Dennison really wanted.” Tony said bluntly.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tom wasn't very surprised to find that Larry Dennison had been behind this, what really shocked him was that his brother was working for Dennison. “Why are you helping Dennison? Don't you remember what he did to mom and dad?” Tom shouted, only to be silenced by a smack to the face.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tony took a deep breath after hitting Tom. “Yes, I remember that night… as far as I'm concerned, Dennison did me and Andrew a favor.” Tony said, walking over to the bright light. He moved it so that it would shine up and fill the whole room with light. “Mom and Dad would never have been able to handle the powers Andrew and I have… Dennison brought out our true strength, even though neither of us could do the things you do.” Tony said, getting angrier as he spoke. “You were always the most like dad… it used to drive me insane when he would say how proud he was of you… you are the only one who can use the same power… the one I was supposed to get!” Tony said, walking over to Tom and grabbing his throat. “I started to hate you for having that power. I wanted to crush you, make you suffer.” Tony said through his teeth, his eyes glowing red. Tom choked as he felt intense pain surge through his throat, Tony's hand felt as though it were made entirely out of poisoned needles. Then Tony forced himself to let go of Tom's throat. “Then I found out that my power is superior and the only thing special about you is that you can act as a battery.” Tony said turning around so Tom couldn't see his face.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tom gasped for breath, frantically trying to stop the burning sensation in his lungs. “What are you going to do now? You've caught me, why am I not being used in any insane experiments?” Tom asked as he caught his breath.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tony turned around quickly to look at Tom. “Because, little brother, I haven't gotten a chance to see you in nine years. I wanted to get a chance to make up for lost time.” Tony said, stepping forward again.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tony's eye glowed red as he reached out and touched Tom's forehead with his index finger. Tom gasped as pain rushed through his head. Tom screamed from the pure torturous pain, he lost all of his senses except for the ability to feel. When Tony moved his finger away, Tom could only sit there in shock. “I missed spending time with you little brother, doesn't it feel great that we can hang out again?” Tony asked mockingly. Tom felt tears streaming down his face, he wanted to die rather then face the pain again.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Beast Boy heard Tom scream and flew to the window near the top of one of the buildings, he looked through the window and saw Tom tied to a chair. Beast Boy saw Tony standing over Tom. Tony's eyes were glowing red as he put his hand on top of Tom's head. Tom began to scream in pain. Beast Boy flew back a few feet and charged the window, changing into an armadillo at the last moment and rolling up to crash through the glass. “Back away from my friend or I'll squash you.” Beast Boy said as he turned into a human then into a gorilla. Beast Boy charged the surprised Tony and punched him through a wall.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tom looked up as he regained his sight, the pain was starting to fade. Tom saw Beast Boy turn back into a human and begin to untie him. Tom felt more tears streaming down his face. “Beast Boy… run… Tony will kill you.” Tom said, feeling himself shake as he tried to move.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Beast Boy helped Tom stand up. “Don't sweat it, I took care of him.” Beast Boy said confidently as they walked toward the door. Beast Boy reached for the door knob. “I thought this was going to be tough. I'll have to tell the others to relax.” He said as he opened the door.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Beast Boy jumped back in surprise as the door opened wider to reveal Tony standing there waiting for them. “Whatever made you think I'd make this easy for you?” Tony asked harshly as he punched Beast Boy across the room.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Without Beast Boy's help, Tom fell to his knees. “Beast Boy… get out of here… he's too strong.” Tom said weakly, trying to stand on his own.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Tony simply pushed Tom down and walked toward Beast boy. Beast Boy stood up and turned into a tiger, but Tony punched him back into the wall before he could attack. “You should have listened to my brother green one, now nothing can save you.” Tony said, his eyes beginning to glow red. Beast Boy changed back into a human as he felt horrible pain in his ribs were Tony punched him. The pain got worse as Tony held his hand over Beast Boy's heart. Tony laughed sinisterly as he watched Beast Boy write in pain.
</p></div>



<p><div name="Normal" align="left" style=" padding: 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm 0.00mm; ">

<p style="text-indent: 0.00mm; text-align: left; line-height: 4.166667mm; color: Black; background-color: White; ">
Just then, the window exploded and Robin stepped through the cloud of smoke. “Guess again Tony. You're the one who needs saving.” Robin said, taking out his retractable staff. “Titan's, GO!”
