"Terra, why is your favorite color red if you control dirt and rocks and stuff. Shouldn't your favorite color be green?" Beast Boy asked Terra one day, while she was throwing rocks into a pond.
Terra shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, Beast Boy." But she did know. And this is why Terra's favorite color is red.
It was a long, hard day for Terra and she just finished killing a mutilated wolf. She didn't have any money and was hoping for a place to sleep and some food. She stopped near a corner store but before she could step in she was pulled into an allyway.
She felt a hand clasp over her mouth as she tried to scream for help. She also felt the sharp prick of a needle as someone stabbed it into her neck, making her near unconscious. A man roughly pulled her shirt off her and pushed her against the wall.
He was about to pull her pants off but before he could a blur of red and black successfully knocked him out. Without anything to hold onto Terra stumbled and nearly fell but luckily, someone was holding on to her.
"Careful there, blondie." A voice said to her. And she could only see the red "x" on his gray skull face before she fainted.
The next morning she woke up on a rooftop with a cape covering her body.
And Terra never had any interaction with the man again, but she felt like she had owed him something. And it wasn't because he saved her from getting raped. But because she felt a connection to him. Something she didn't know of.
