A big surprise
The story starts out as a close up of Terra's former form of a statue.
The Titans all stare up at the face of their former team mate. It's been almost a year since Terra's accident. And things haven't been quite the same without her around.
"I miss you Terra," Beast Boy said in almost a whisper.
" We all do," Robin replied putting a sympathetic hand on BB's shoulder.
Raven stood in back of all her friends with her hood up. She didn't want to come, but the Titans had forced her to go. She didn't like Terra, didn't trust Terra. Terra had hurt her, had hurt her friends. And that's something Raven thought she could never forgive.
"It's getting late. We outta get going," Cyborg said interrupting the moment
"Cyborg's right. Lets get going," Robin said turning to leave.
"Don't leave now. The party's only begun!" A haunting voice said from the shadows. A voice the Titans could recognize anywhere.
"SLADE!"
"What are you doing here!" Robin demanded
"I've only come to visit a former apprentice of mine. Such a pity she's gone."
"Do Not speak of our friend in such a dishonorable way!" Starfire said
"Relax Titans I haven't come to cause harm. But merely to help."
"We don't need your help!" BB said with a look of anger and confusion on his face
"Oh, But by the looks of it you do. It seems to me you still haven't found a way to free Terra from her present stage. But I can help. You see I've been longing for her to return. "
"YOU LIE!" Beast Boy screamed as Slade continued on
" Do I? Take a look at this device here Titans. This little thing contains a sample of Terra's DNA. And if her DNA is restored to her..."
"...then she'll go back to her origianal form," Cyborg said finishing his sentence
"Correct. Looks like someone's been doing his Homework."
"How do we know it's safe to trust you?" Robin said alert
"Whether you trust me or not is your decision. Here. Take it." Slade then tossed the device to Robin
" Until we meet again." Slade tossed a smoke bomb and slowly moved back towards the shadows.
Slade appeared to be gone and all the Titans were speechless. Beast Boy was the first to break the silence "Do you think it'll work?" He said with a eyes full of hope
"We can't be sure. Slade can't be trusted. We'll take it back to the tower and have it analyze. Until then noone even think about trying the device out on Terra. We don't know what it can do. It could end up destroying her instead of saving her," Robin clarified
"Agreed. We would not wish for any harm to come upon our friend Terra."
"Right and first thing tomorrow I'll start running some tests on that thing. But right now I think we should get back to the tower and get some sleep."
The Titans headed back to the tower all except Beast Boy.
"Did you hear that Terra! We may have found a way to bring you back! It'll be great having you around again!"
"Yo BB. You coming?"
"Um, Yeah!"
Back at the tower. All the Titans are in their rooms getting ready for bed.
You see Beast Boy stirring in his sleep, he's having a nightmare.
In his nightmare:
You see Terra in her apprentice suit as she's eliminating Beast Boy. flash
"You chose to work for Slade, you chose to betray us and now you've chosen to give him control! Slade isn't doing this Terra you are!"
"NOOOOOO!"
Rocks Fly towards Beast Boy. flash
Terra has a pointed rock, aimed at Beast Boy.
"Terra no!"
"I can't stop him...He's to powerful!"
"Yes you can! It's your power, not his! It's your life Terra. It's never to late to change."
"I'm sorry Beast Boy, for everything."
You see Terra flip the rock so it's facing towards Slade. flash
"Come on Terra we gotta go!"
"I can't I have to stay."
"Terra, no."
"I'm the only one who can stop it."
"You can't Terra it's to late!"
Terra pulls her hair away from her face revieling both of her eyes. "It's never to late.(Terra and Beast Boy hug) Beast Boy, you were the best friend I ever had!" flash
You see Terra as a statue with a plaque that say's
Terra
A Teen Titan
A True Friend
"Terra no! Come back!" Beast Boy screamed outloud as he woke up in a jolt, sweat dripping down his face.
He looked at the clock and saw it was 5:30 in the morning.
"It was just a nightmare...A nightmare that really happened," He told himself with a sye.
Beast Boy went down to the main room seeing as he couldn't fall back to sleep.
In the main room.
Beast Boy was making himself some tofu waffles. Suddenly the door to the main room slid open and Raven, Robin, and Starfire walked in.
"Hello friends! Wonderful morning, is it not?" Starfire said in her normal cheery voice.
"Morning, Star. Up for some tofu waffles?"
"The waffles of tofu, have made our friend Cyborg ill in the past. I do not wish to have the same illness."
"Suit yourself. Hey, speaking of Cyborg, where is he? He's usually down here by now making his own waffles and criticiseing my tofu ones."
"He's up in his room running some tests on that device we got from Slade last night. Last I checked he was on the last test."
As if on cue Cyborg entered the room.
"Hey, ya'll."
"Any news on weather that thing will work on Terra or not?"
"Actually yeah. After getting the results from all the tests... I've come to a conclusion..." Cyborg grabbed a apple of the table and started to eat it.
"AND?" Beast Boy asked getting inpatient.
"Well... If I'm right it outta work!"
"Glorious!"
"Awesome! This is great!"
"All right Cyborg!"
"Don't thank me all I did was checked to see if the thing worked."
Everyone was so excited to be getting their friend back. Everyone except Raven.
She sat on the coach in shock.
"Let's go try it out now!" Beast Boy said anxious
"Um...well... maybe we should wait a while," Robin said unsure.
"Come on Robin! Please!"Beast Boy said turning into a adorable little kitten.
"Okay, Okay, "Robin replied
"ALL RIGHT! Let's go!"
All of the Titans headed out the door, but Raven remained sitting on the couch.
"Come on Raven!"
"I think I'll stay behind... I need to, um...meditate," Raven said in a gloomy, lying voice.
"Suit your self!"
At the cave where Terra's statue lays.
"Can't you hook that thing up a little faster Cyborg?" Beast Boy asked
"If I don't hook it up exactly the right way, it could end up destroying the girl!" Cyborg replied.
Beast Boy quickly shut his mouth.
He walked over to where Terra was and stared into her once dark blue sparkling eyes. He couldn't wait another second. He wanted to see her again, and he wanted to see her now.
"That should do it! It's all ready to go!"
"Do you want us to do anything?"Robin asked Cyborg
"Na. Just stand back. All I have to do is attach this little wire to Terra, like so, and type in the access code." Cyborg then type some number unknown to the other Titans into the mini keyboard. A shocking glow of yellow light traveled through the wire into Terra's body. The 4 Titans sheald their eyes from the intense bright light. The light soon died out.
"Did it work?"
Suddenly the stone prison Terra was trapped in started to decinagrate, and reveal her human (not in rock) form.
"TERRA!" Beast Boy screamed with joy.
"Beast...Boy..." Terra faintly said right before she fell tho the ground, unconscious, with a thud.
"TERRA!" Beast Boy shouted once again, but this time in concern.
He ran over to her side. Tears of joy streamed down his face. "Terra... It's so great to have you back."
Cyborg walked over to Beast Boy and Terra.
"We should get her back to the tower and make sure she's okay," Cyborg said while gently picking Terra up.
They all left the cave completely silent.
Back at Titans tower.
Raven had made herself a cup of herbal tea and was sitting down on the sofa slowly sipping it.
Thought's of the past were rushing through her head.
flash
She saw Terra throwing a rock at Starfire, after Starfire was going over to make sure Terra was okay, despite their differences.
flash
She saw her and the other Titans deciding to give her one more chance.
flash
"What's the matter Raven mad? Beast Boy told me all about your temper tantrums."
flash
"What bugs you the most. That I betrayed you? That I hurt you? That you trusted me? Or is it that you actually thought I was your friend?"
"I trusted you Terra! We trusted you! We took you in gave you a home! And you've treated us like dirt!"
flash
Raven saw herself sinking in Terra's melted rock trap, gasping for air. And the last thing she remembered seeing was that evil smirk on Terra's face.
flash
She saw herself, and her friends, fighting the monsters Plasmus, Cinderblock, and Overload fused together to create one. Terra had sent them.
flash
Terra had a rock pointed at Beast Boy ready to end his life.
"Terra, no!"
"It'll be the last thing you ever do!"
"Don't do it Terra, don't do it!"
"Please we are still your friends we want to help!"
And then at that very moment, after everything she did, then she decides to turn on evil.
"But she did save the city..." Raven said outloud to herself.
"No! What are you saying! She's a liar, a traitor, she hurt you, she hurt your friends! She attempted to anialate us! She can not be trusted!" Raven took a deep calming breath in attempt to control her powers from letting lose.
"Relax...She probably won't even come back...The device probably doesn't even work." She told herself.
Raven started to meditate to calm herself down.
"Azarath Mentrion Zinthos...Azarath Mentrion Zinthos"
"RAVEN!" Starfire shouted, ruining Ravens trance.
"What Starfire?"
"Our friend Terra has returned to us! Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy have taken her to the tower's infirmary and Robin wishes you to be there," Starfire said in a rush.
Raven quietly followed Starfire out of the main room and into the infirmary.
