Man, I hate college work. Anyway, here I am, trying to start up a new story. Im pretty much making the comic book titans meet the TV show Terra, having her wake up when the New Titans are living in the tower. (Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Robin (new one, Tim not Dick)Miss Martian, Kid Devil, Ravager, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash (Bart, not Wally)...That all I can be bothered to write for lol)

I might as well do a name list;

Beast Boy- Gar/Garfield

Cyborg - Vic/Victor

Robin - Tim

Miss Martian - M'Gan/Megan

Kid Devil - Eddie

Ravager - Rose

Wonder Girl - Cassie

Kid Flash - Bart/Bartholomew

Sorry if I've put this in the wrong category, I wasn't sure. If it should be moved to 'Comics' please let me know.

Enjoy!!

Things really DO change

Inside a dark, desolate cave lay something very special. Something that had once been loved and mourned over, but now stood forgotten. The only indications of care or affection were the spider webs that wove their way around it, intricately woven in delicate patterns around its frame. This thing was a statue. But this was not a normal, everyday statue. Inside this statue lay a young woman. A woman who had done some horrible things.

Terra was her name. She had been a Teen Titan, a geomancer, a friend to many and more than a friend to one. She had been welcomed to their close knit community with open arms, doubted by only one who had problems with trust. She was invited to their home, given a room and given friendship. She even had the affection of a certain green boy. But Terra was paranoid, easily led, scared. She feared betrayal from her new friends. She feared rejection. So she betrayed them.

She fought them, left them to die, destroyed the city she'd called home. She let the boy who cared so deeply for her fall without a care. She joined a man so ruthless and evil that even his own son hated him. But her conscience and care for her friends was too great. She betrayed her master, betrayed he who made her betray. And the consequences of her actions led to her imprisonment inside this stone tomb. Inside, she grew, she felt. But she was not to be held captive for much longer.

"Are..you sure you can do this, Raven?" Beast Boy asked hesitantly. He stared up at the face of the girl he'd loved long ago. Now Raven sat in front of him, legs crossed, spell-book open to the page she needed.

"It should work, Garfield. I've been studying this spell for some time now, and it seems to be appropriate for releasing her without any damage to her body."

He looked down at her, feelings of gratitude and warmth rushing up in him. He noticed Raven smile and wanted to laugh; she could feel what he was feeling. But amongst his happiness hid another emotion.

"I didnt mean that, Raven. You hated her, we all know that. Are you sure you can bring yourself to get her out of this statue?"

Raven uncrossed her legs and stood up. Her long, blue/black hair fell down to her waist and she walked up to Gar. He had grown a few inches taller than her and she craned her neck to look up at him.

"I am not doing this for me, and you know that Gar. I am indifferent to whether I ever see her again or not." She sighed and looked down. "But I cannot be indifferent to another life, no matter who it belongs to. Shes still alive in there, always feeling fear and sadness. I have a way to release her from her bounds and, even if I regret it, I will do it."

Gar looked down and smiled. And this girl thinks shes evil? Shes an angel!

Raven looked up and smiled. "Im a dark angel if anything." She said, walking back to sit cross legged in front of the statue. Garfield blushed. Crap. She can read minds, why do I always forget she can read minds?!?

"Maybe you forget cause it has nothing to do with tofu? Now please, no more thinking or talking. I need to concentrate."

He stood silently in the background, watching Raven wave her arms slowly in the air, as if she was practicing kung fu. He sighed and tried not to think, but so many thoughts flooded his mind. Terra was coming back but did he want her to be more than a friend again? He had gotten over her. He was 18 now, as was Raven, so it had been....5 years? He watched Ravens hands slowly turning black, certain that her eyes were now shining with the purest white. She really was an angel. She was bringing back someone she despised, she might as well be bringing back Trigon, yet she wasn't fussed by it. She was just doing it anyway, regardless of what she felt. He remembered back to when he and Raven had dated, just a few short years ago. He had been happier then ever, he'd been with the beautiful angel in front of him. He watched her encase the statue in black energy and thought Why did I leave her?

The statue began to crack open. Raven jumped up and ran to Gar. "Quick, change into a bird, we need to get up high" She yelled, floating up as she spoke. He changed into a raven, his favourite bird, and flew up next to her."Phew, close one" he chuckled. (A/N; Im going by the comics mostly on these two and BB can talk in animal form.)

Raven turned to him sadly. "To answer your question, you left me because you want to play the field, remember? You didn't want a commitment."

Gar stared down at the statue, guilt rising. I wish I didn't think so loud

The statue exploded and jagged shards of rock flew towards where Gar had just been pair were safe, only a few stray rocks heading their way which were easily deflected. The flew down, walking hesitantly towards the statue. In its place stood a beautiful blond teenager, wearing clothes too small for her. She winced against the dust in her eyes, then stared down at the couple in front of her.

"B...Beast Boy? Raven?" She muttered, a grin sliding onto her face. Garfield remembered what Terra was like and braced himself for impact. He wasn't proved wrong as Terra flung herself into his arms.

"Im back!! Im out of that statue!! I knew you'd save me Beast Boy!!" She squealed happily.

"Er...dont thank me Terra, thank Raven. She found the spell and got you free."

Terra turned to the empath, who stood with her hands behind her back. She was biting back jealousy, seeing Terra in Gars arms, and smiling rather pleasantly at her. Gar was shocked, but by now he knew Raven well enough to know when a smile was fake. He mouthed 'Thank you' to her and her smile became more genuine. Terra gave her a cursory glance before turning back to Gar.

"Yeah, but she wouldn't have even looked if it wasn't for you! You saved me!"

He winced and smiled apologetically at Raven. She simply rolled her eyes, Terras hatred didnt matter to her. "Right, lets get you to the tower so you can change into something more...appropriate. Raven, will you do the honours?" Gar said. Raven, keeping the smile plastered onto her face walked over. Terra clung to Gars side fiercely as he put an arm round Ravens shoulders. Terra seethed with jealousy and Raven felt it. She turned to her and said "We all have to be touching so I can teleport us outta here." She glared at Raven and turned away.

Gar was shocked to hear a voice in his head, familiar but not his own. I wont touch her, but if Rose wants to do something Im not going to stop her. He looked at Raven and saw her eyes glaring at Terra while her smile became a little more evil. She had sent that telepathically. Damn, she was funny when she was being mean.

He bit back a chuckle and black energy enveloped them. The re-emerged in the common room of titans tower, which had remained pretty much the same for years.

"Hey guys!!!" Terra yelled as soon as they landed. "Im back! Terras come home!!"

Thanks to Thowell3 who let me spot that I'd made things a little unclear. If you're not sure, Raven and Beast Boy are not dating right now. They were previously but had broken up.

Hope that makes things a little easier. Next chapter tomorrow; Terra meets the new Titans!
