The cheesy taste that covered the blonde girl's pallet didn't satisfy the senses as they once had as she sat cross legged on the beach gazing across the water at the Titans Tower with the final bite of her pizza lost inside the depths of her body. Jokes had lost their humor, sleep had lost its fufillment in overcoming the fatigue she felt very often, and food lost almost all flavor before running down her dry throat. She felt as if she was misery's company recently, especially after her previous experience after school.
It began just as any day did, having her waking up before her parents, leaving them a note of goodbye and what time she would be home that night from school. The day went on as usual- her friends surrounded her protectively as if, ironically, someone would take her away forever if they didn't keep their eyes on her every second of the day. The moment their judging eyes and gossiping mouths were turned, she was suddenly swept away, books and all, and everything was dark. She remembered her wake up call had been her body being thrown to the ground in a heap of confusion, a room of volcanic stone and rubble surrounding her. That was, until she noted the odd presence standing above her, flooding her mind with images and nightmares that seemed more like lost memories then anything else.
They happened to her. She had filled that life with her own. Now, suddenly, she had become a new person and forgot it all with a clean sweep to the mind? How was that even possible?
The question was answered as her eyes gazed upon a memorial stone, shined to perfection and engraved with dark lettering.

Terra.

A Teen Titan

A true friend.

True? How could this be so? She traded the love of these people for destruction and didn't turn her head in rememberance. She turned away and never looked back, yet, they still called her friend...
What Beast Boy tried to tell her so long ago must have been true then. She had powers. She had been a Teen Titan through the good, even if she created most of the bad with a trail of broken trust behind her. Typical. All she had ever known was running, and then when someone finally offered her a permanent home, filled with people that would love her...

She shook these thoughts from her head, her blue eyes clamping shut and her ears burning from the silent words that played with her mind.

They don't love you now. No one does. You're just another faceless girl... Insignificant.

How her heart longed for her subconcious to be wrong...

After a couple of hours later, Terra knew she had to get home to the people who had taken her in... A mother and a father, so to speak. They hadn't known eachother long, seeing as it had been less than half of a year since her memory restarted itself as a normal teenage girl without a clue if she had a home or parents, but they were still the only two people she could really depend on right now. That she could trust without second guess...

Quietly, the leggy girl gathered herself up from the sand, brushing the white grains from her uniform black skirt and pale socks. It felt odd to be the only one on the beach on such a good day as this, but she was thankful nonetheless. The looks she was given around here... Sometimes she just wished she could see it in their eyes what they thought about her: the look-alike of the one who overthrew the city, but in reality, still the same girl...

Clenching her teeth, she began to stomp away from the water... Away from the beach... Away from everything she knew until she figured out what to do with herself.
