Meant for Freedom
Authors note: Hey all! Mystery girl is back. I'm not sure if this will turn into a story or not. For now, it'll be posted as complete but if I get 15 reviews I'll start making it a story. So if it does become more than a one shot, bare with me. I'm a college student so I don't have much free time and finals are almost here. As always I don't own Teen Titans, whatever restaurants or products or Terra. I own a Pikachu toy though. Oh yeah, Terra's POV.
I sat alone on a rock staring out at the ocean. I miss them. I could see the view of their home perfectly. Most importantly, I can almost see him playing video games. He's the one I missed the most. He took my breath away from the very first time we locked eyes. It sucked; needing him and hurting him sucked so much. There he was just a mile or so away from me and I couldn't tell him the truth; I couldn't bear to leave him again if we got to close.
People may wonder why I left him in the first place. I have my reasons. For starters, I thought Beast Boy told the rest of the team my little problem with controlling my powers. Another reason, it wouldn't be long until I hurt someone again or caused problems. The last and seemingly most important to me, I fell in love with him. Why would someone run from love? Don't people look for it their entire lives? I guess I'm too different.
I was never meant to fall in love. But I did anyways. I was never supposed to want to change myself and become dependent on a person. I was always meant to be alone. Beast boy made me fall for him just by looking at me and making me laugh. When a person who shouldn't love actually does, shit hits the fan and nothing works out. I didn't want him or anyone else to change me. I was meant to run around and be wild. I was like a modern day gypsy. I should never stay in one place for more than a month. Danger follows me, why would I want to chance it showing up if I got comfortable?
People would get suspicious of me if I stayed in one place for long. Few people know this about me but I'm immortal. My earth powers make me unable to die somehow. My theory is that when I got these powers from the scientists the serum made me this way. Beast boy knew what I was. He also knew that he too was immortal. We could have looked sixteen for the rest of our lives together. Now, we walk this path alone. He said that the whole team knew about him. Raven would live longer because of her demon status. Starfire's people lived to be 300 anyways. Cyborg would continue to live until his batteries died for good. Robin was the only normal one.
I continue to stare out across the water thinking of my life. I had to save the city. Beast boy was waiting for me to show my face in town after the volcano accident. The Terra statue was just something I made to keep the public thinking she was gone, leaving Mariah in her place. Mariah, Terra's twin sister that didn't get powers like Terra did and the normal twin.
It was dark now. I could see the stars starting to shine on the lake and the moon reflected perfectly right near the tower. I knew I had to make things right. Maybe Beast Boy and I could run around the world together. Beast boy and I could both run free. We could live forever in each other's arms. It was a nice thought. Maybe I didn't need to face everything alone. I pulled some the floor of the ocean up to make a path straight to the tower.
Once on the island I grabbed a chunk of rock to ride up. I waited patiently for him to win and do his little victory dance. I giggled as I watched him stare at me, like he was hallucinating. Being the bitch that I was, when he closed and rubbed his eyes I ducked back down from his view and started to fly back down on the island to knock on the door. Luckily, I was out of his sight. He was probably muttering curses and telling himself to get a grip. I chuckled to myself when I heard him still muttering and cursing while he walked over to open the door. The look on his face was priceless.
"Am I hallucinating again?" He asked breathlessly.
"No." I simply stated.
"Were you really just in front of the window or did I imagine that?"
"That was real, B."
He hugged me. He kissed my forehead and held me for a good two minutes. "Please tell me you're staying."
"I might. You know how I am." I felt him nod against the top of my head. He may be immortal but I guess he still grew. "Are you busy right now?"
"My video games could wait. Nothing compares to you Terra, and nothing ever will." He whispered in my ear. Shivers went up and down my spine.
"Good." With that I lifted us up into the air.
"Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise."
"Terra, your surprises can be scary."
"This one is good. I promise. I owe you, right?
He nodded and we rode in silence for the rest of the very short trip. When we got to the caves and caverns, he instantly knew where he was. "We met you here."
"Yeah, I've been camping out over there." I pointed to the area where I killed the giant scorpion.
"Come home with me. We can be together and when people get weirded out about how long we've been looking this young we can run together. We can be together until the world ends or something. I just want you. Forever and ever babe, that's all I've ever wanted with you."
"Garfield, you and I both know that I wasn't meant for love. I was meant to be free and rely on no one. I was meant to endure everything without any help or support. I love you but it's not what I was made for."
"I can change that." He quickly pulled me in to capture my lips with his. I didn't have time to register what was going on but I knew what I was feeling. I knew I loved him. Maybe I shouldn't deny it any longer. Maybe I was meant to love him. The thought terrified me but maybe I'll get used to it. Maybe I'll never know what I was meant for.
