My first fanfic! You could say I'm pretty excited(:

Disclaimer: I don't own the amazing Teen Titans

Steps. Endless Steps.

It seemed as if the longer Raven walked, the longer she had to go. She had stopped flying a while ago, rendering it pointless because either way, she had no idea where she was going.

She wasn't walking towards anything in particular, she was just walking away.

She had to leave the titans, the tower. She no longer belonged. Terra had come back and it changed everything completely.

Raven's world came crashing down.

Before Terra arrived, Raven was finally accepting her feelings for a certain green Changeling. They had started hanging out together alone, and everything was starting to fall into place. They moved their relationship at the slow pace that Raven needed it to, and that seemed to be enough for the both of them.

Well, seemed to be.

One night, Raven decided not to care what her unruly powers could do, and decided to finally act on her urge to convey her love to Beast Boy.

Big Mistake.

They were at a carnival together, and they had finally reached the top of the Ferris wheel they were on. The view was amazing. In the darkness, all the lights of Jump City shined beautifully, and the city seemed peaceful. This was the perfect moment.

"Isn't it beautiful? I would think this place was perfect if it didn't have so much crime." Raven had said meekly, trying to find something to talk about.

"It's almost as beautiful as you, Rae." Beast Boy whispered, but Raven could still hear. She didn't know if she should roll her eyes at the corniness of his complement, or if she should surprise him and kiss him right there.

She felt the silence, and finally decided to look over at the green boy. His eyes seemed to sparkle with sincerity, a deep sincerity that drew her in. She finally broke her gaze and looked at his new arm muscles. He was no longer the annoying jokester from their early teenage years, but a young man who was tall with a muscular build, and a great heart.

Raven made up her mind and leaned towards the Changeling.

At first, Beast boy seemed shocked by the sudden presence of Raven's lips on his, it seemed so surreal. Raven never showed her feelings to anyone, and she was showing her love to him. They both heard the sound of a glass window shattering somewhere in the distance, but they no longer cared, They were in love.

Until the next morning.

Raven woke up the next morning, and as usual, Beast Boy had already brewed her some herbal tea. They sat on the sofa together quietly, as they usually did, but their silence was in no way awkward. It was powerful and peaceful, and perfect for the morning, when neither of them were fully awake yet. But suddenly, there was a security breach in the tower.

Everyone met in the common room and prepared to face whatever intruder breached the security. They all exited, waiting to be confronted by anyone from minor idiot thugs to masterminds like Slade.

It was a blonde girl with pale blue eyes. She was wearing a black top that showed her toned midriff, and yellow shorts. She looked nervous, like she was about to throw up.

"Terra?" Cyborg was the first to break the shocked silence, speaking barely in a whisper.

"I remember now, and I came to apologize." Was all Terra could say back as she looked at the team hopefully.

Raven glared at her. Robin narrowed his eyes under the mask. Cyborg smiled, and Beast Boy looked dumbfounded. Starfire was the first to react.

"FRIEND TERRA! WE HAVE MISSED YOU GREATLY!" She yelled, pulling the blonde into a bone-crushing hug.

"Star. I'm. Going. To. Suffocate." Terra barely squeezed the words out as her face turned purple. Starfire blushed and released her from her grip, before turning back to the titans.

"Friends, are you not happy to see friend Terra? Is she not, 'a Teen Titan, a true friend?'" Starfire asked, trying to get the titans to somehow react to Terra's sudden presence.

"You lied to me." Was all Beast Boy said before starting to walk back towards the tower. Raven approved of his reaction.

"Wait, Beast Boy. I can explain." She said hopefully. She looked desperate and afraid.

Beast Boy turned around expectantly, waiting for the promised explanation.

"I was wondering why you thought I was Terra, so I went and got my DNA tested, and it was a complete match for hers, and it was creeping me out," she started explaining, "After that, I decided to go to a psychiatrist to see why I couldn't remember, and it turned out that my subconscious was pushing back the memories because they were too hard to deal with."

Beast Boy looked at her skeptically, but she still continued.

"I worked with my psychiatrist for a few months, and she helped me go into my mind and unlock some of the memories I was subconsciously blocking." Terra continued, "So now, I can remember almost everything. My betrayal, my friendships with you, my powers, and my crush on Beast Boy. I'm truly sorry."

Beast Boy blushed and looked over at Raven.

"My empathic senses say she isn't lying. She really couldn't remember and she is really sorry." Raven said in her usual monotone, actually feeling somewhat bad for Terra.

These were the words that Raven would forever regret saying.

Beast Boy suddenly bolted towards Terra, wrapping his arms around her.

"Please stay with us, with me. Be our friend again and don't leave this time." He pleaded, he could no longer pretend not to believe Terra. She was his friend now, someone he trusted.

"I can only stay if Robin says it's okay. I completely understand if he still doesn't trust me. What I did was pretty unforgivable."

Terra, Beast Boy, and the rest of the Titans fixed their gazes and the Boy Wonder. The decision was his now.

"Terra, welcome back to the titans." He said not completely excitedly. "I still have some reservations about this, and in order to prove that you're trustworthy, you must have another titan accompany you every time you leave the tower, so we can assure that nothing sketchy is going on. But don't worry, that will only be temporary."

Terra's face brightened, and a smile finally spread across her face.

"This is gonna be totally awesome!" She yelled, pumping her fist. She knew she wouldn't be completely off the hook, but she was ready to try to be a good titan again. There was just one thing she needed to do to be happy.

She need to get rid of a certain violet-haired sorceress. She could tell that she was the object of Beast Boy's affections, and she was only an obstacle in Terra's path. One that needed to be removed.

Terra finally hugged Robin and Cyborg, and awkwardly acknowledged Raven before walking into the tower arm-in-arm with Starfire and Beast Boy. Robin and Cyborg walked in together, and Raven just walked in behind them. Alone.

This is going to be easy Terra thought.
