The Trials of Terra
Summary: The terrors that Terra was forced to endure after agreeing to let Slade help her. How she deals with losing her only friends, and how she really feels about Beast Boy... Terra's POV. Terra/BB Star/Rob
This has been in my head for some time now. I just wanted to get it out. This is all from Terra's point of view. It tell what happens after the episode "Terra". How she trained with Slade, how he acted towards her, that stuff. Her relationship with Beast Boy in this is practically the same as in the series. He likes her, she likes him, she thinks he betrays her, she leaves, gets mad, comes back, goes out with him, betrays him, leaves, hates him. The end. But, through it all, he always feels the same, even when she announces her dedication to Slade. I won't tell anymore. Just read...

"Of course, you'll need more training. I know you have trouble controlling you're powers, and we can he--"
He told him. I felt the communicator slip from my grasp.
"You told him?" my voice was shaking. But, I didn't care. I trusted him with my secret, and he had let it out. Like, it was just another joke that he cracked.
"I didn't!" His ears pointed down. A sign of a lier.
"You lied to me! You lied!" I ran away. I didn't care where. Someone called after me. But, I didn't hear it. All I knew is that my legs were carrying me as fast away from that cursed "T" as they would go. The door in front of me wouldn't open.
"God dammit!" I shouted and kicked it. It slowly opened and I ran through it and down the path. I raised a boulder up from the ground, not even stopping to get onto it. I jumped and landed on the hard surface, forcing it to carry me to the other side of the bay. The whole time I thought about what I had just done. What was I doing? That lier. The filthy bastard. How dare he tell Robin that I couldn't control them. And after he swore to me! After he gave his word! I could feel the tears streaming down my face. My eyes burned and I couldn't see because of the wind. I slowed down a little. I was losing control. Not good. I finally reached the other side.
"What am I going to do?" I asked myself out loud. My back slid down the nearest building. I couldn't even feel the scraping against my back through my shirt. I was so numb. How could he do that? How could I do that? Trust him. Ha. Typical me. Going around, telling total strangers my most intimate secrets. But, the question racked in my brain...what happens now? Do I go to the next location, only to be embarassed and run away again? Or do I find help.
"No one else knows you Terra. No one else can help you.... I"ll be waiting....."
Slade. If I went to him.... If I got help. Maybe, I could go back to the Titans. After all, they gave me a home. But, I don't think I could face Beast Boy again. Or Robin. Or any of the others. Mostly Raven. She never wanted me there in the first place. I saw the glances her and Robin exchanged when I told them I didn't have a home. But, I never liked her anyway.
I was starting to like this idea more and more. I could finally get control! There was hope after all. I summoned another boulder and headed towards the desert, where I first met the Titans. That had been my plan all along, to lure that giant scorpion into a trap, have the Titans think I'm in trouble, and become part of their team. But, after that night with Beast Boy....It backfired. That's where I was staying last. Slade said he had been watching me for some time. It must have been there. That's where I'll find him. I could feel the roughness of the rock on my cheek as I struggled to control it. A slight change in the wind lurched me to the left and I almost lost control.
"Almost there," I said, almost encouraging the rock and my powers to strain themselves a little longer. I saw my reflection in the bay water as I looked down. My blond hair billowed out behind me and the eyeliner and mascara I had put on that morning was running down my cheeks from tears. I looked up. I didn't need to see myself. Especially now. I finally reached the southern shore where the desert slowly took over. There were only a few plants. I ran to the place where I had been living. The cave I had stayed in for three months was starting to look pretty inviting again. I didn't need all that fancy stuff at the tower. It wasn't like it was necessary for me. I actually enjoyed hunting for food more than watching T.V. or playing video games. I could never figure out how to work those things anyway. The cave loomed in front of me. I forgot how big it was....It doesn't matter, I have to find Slade. I went inside. Immediately the feeling changed. I could sense it. There was another presence in this cave with me.
"Hello, Terra."
"Slade?"
"Yes. I'm glad you returned."
"You were right. Beast Boy told the others."
"You didn't know that would happen? After I warned you?"
"It was there. Deep inside me. A small part didn't trust him. But, it was right. He told Robin." There was a pause between them. A hole in the top of the cave provided a beam of light. Terra stood in it.
"I need you're help."

Titan009- sorry it was such a short chapter. But, it's mostly an introduction. Please review and tell me what you tink. Should I continue?
