Our time is now.
I walked into the chamber terra was located. As Clara came up behind me I got out the laser that would cut terra out from her stone prison. As I started applying the carefully controlled heat from the custom designed laser I heard footsteps behind us.
Turning around I saw Logan looking at us with face that screamed that he had no idea what was going on. I didn't want this to turn volatile.
Logan relax.
What the hell are you doing!
All I'm trying to do is to break up the stone layer around her body.
If you go an inch too far you're mine.
Just relax I'll be done in a bit.
After I had done enough to get a safe amount of cracking on the stone layer. It seemed as if my sister had never been asleep. Just waiting to make her move. As I moved back with Clara I knew I had to explain things to beastboy.
Could someone tell me what the hell's happening!
Terra turning to stone didn't stop the surge of power she started.
All it did was contained the surge.
All her bodies doing is releasing the stored up energy.
So the stone's going to blast out right?
Yeah so we'll have to move back.
Alright let's go.
As we waited for the stones to burst out and the surge to subside I could feel the anticipation from mark.
Calm down mark she'll be fine.
How long will it take for her to recover?
For her to wake up it won't take long.
And she's a strong girl so the full physical recovery should take a week or so.
That's great!
It was good to see she had someone that cared so much.
I knew that as soon as her stone prison burst apart he would try and rush forward. I knew because if Clara was in the same position terra was in I would do the exact same thing.
I knew his reaction when I held onto his shoulder.
What are you doing!
Don't you think I would do the same thing for Clara.
I need to hold you back because Clara has to dress terra.
I felt an ever familiar sense of understanding enter his eyes.
I saw an obvious look of surprise on his face when he saw the exact same outfit as the one she had worn in her time with the titans.
You really thought that was a one time outfit choice?
When we didn't have any group business she wore this outfit everyday.
I saw a look that told me quite easily when the two of them came that he needed at least a touch to know she was really back.
Go ahead.
What do you mean?
Don't try and be macho with me.
Go ahead and get a touch.
When he extended his hand I could tell he was afraid she break like glass. I gave him a gentle push to nudge him in the right direction.
After we walked out we went to the towers straight away. When we got into the towers med bay I saw that he wasn't going to be in any condition to fight anytime soon. That night before I went to bed I went to the med bay one more time just to check on the two of them. What I saw gave me the certainty that I had made the right choice in giving terra to Logan. When I entered the door he was on her bed as a dog licking her face desperate to get some sort of reaction from her. When I came in the room he jumped off and reverted back to human form.
Could you do me a favor?
Sure, what is it?
I need to see her right palm.
Why?
The only way I could show him why I needed to see her palm was to show her my own. I saw the lack of comprehension on his face as I showed him the mark.
We were all on a drill team for years. Those of us that were in the old guard took the mark as a sign of loyalty to the company.
So you want how it looks.
Yeah.
As he moved aside I removed her glove. the mark was very faded. He wasn't sure about the night so told it quite plainly.
Don't worry you can stay.
Firstly she would kill me if tried to keep you two apart.
Alright, thanks.
Have a good night.
I went back and cradled Clara quite tightly
