One Year After
Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans in any way, shape, or form. I am just a fan. Enjoy!
Background Information: One year after the events in Things Change (the final episode of the series), Terra is targeted by Slade, along with his new minions: the H.I.V.E. Five, the White Monster, Monsieur Mallah, Cinderblock, Plasmus, and Overload. Also, many of the villains who were frozen have been freed and returned to their life of crime. The Brain and some others have not, and Monsieur Mallah was promised the Brain would be freed if he helped Slade. Also, this story will have a special guest from the comics!
Slade looked at Terra walk from the Murakami School with her friends. He was far enough away that she wouldn't see him. Contrary to what she said, she did still remember her past. She did not admit it because she was over being a heroine or a villainess. She no longer wanted to use her powers. She found a nice family to adopt her, and now she was going to the most prestigious school in Jump City.
She just needs a little coaxing, Slade thought.
She started to walk closer, and as she walked past the alley he was in, she caught a glance of her long-time captor. Fear shot through her body as she abandoned her friends and shot towards her apartment.
Slade clicked the button on his communicator: "You know what to do, WM."
As Terra was nearly a block from her apartment building, the White Monster came out of its camouflage and attacked.
"I can't use them!" she screamed as she ran from the thing that was chasing her. She tripped.
Suddenly, a giant pillar of rock shot from the sidewalk and hit the monster.
"Did I do that?" Terra asked herself, looking at her hands for signs of yellow.
"No," said a voice "I did."
Looking up, Terra saw Raven. Starfire soon flew behind her and the others came on foot. Starfire immediately started to throw starbolts at the creature, and it disappeared into the concreate. Terra didn't know what to do. She couldn't go home, because the Titans were in her way. If she went back, she would have to confront Slade. Robin and Beast Boy approached her.
"Terra? Is that really you?" asked Robin.
"No… I'm not Terra. You've got the wrong girl." she responded, sounding unconvincing. Terra knew Slade was behind this. If she went back to her house, she would surely put her host family in lots of danger. She had to go to a safe place.
"Wait, Robin… I am Terra. I think Slade is back, and he wants me for some reason that I don't know yet. I need somewhere to stay for a bit. Somewhere safe… can I come to Titan Tower?" Terra asked. Within three hours, Terra moved out from her host family's apartment and into her old room in Titan Tower. Terra was still to go to school, but she was going to be escorted to and from by a Titan. Terra was by no means a member of the Titans. She NEVER wanted to use her powers again.
The next morning, Starfire picked Terra up and flew her to the Murakami School. She gave Terra a communicator.
"If Slade or the monster returns, please call us." she said.
During first period, a course in finance, the fire alarm rang. As the students were herded into the courtyard, something horrible happened. Kyd Wykkyd teleported into view. Terra opened her communicator: "Terra calling Robin! TERRA CALLING ROBIN!"
Back at Titan Tower, emergency alerts from five places in the city were activated. Raven went to take care of Overload, Starfire went to Cinderblock, Cyborg to the White Monster, BB to Private H.I.V.E., and Robin went to Plasmus.
Just as Robin defeated Plasmus, he got the call.
"Robin to Terra. What is happening?" he responded.
"Kyd Wykkyd is attacking my school. He teleported in, pulled the fire alarm to get us all out, and now he is trying to get me! I am currently hiding in the library, which is luckily pretty big. I hope nobody realizes I am gone. Please help." she said.
"I'll be there in five minutes."
As Robin started to run out, Plasmus sprung back and Billy Numerous came and surrounded Robin.
"Robin, Slade wants you to know, you will not be leaving." Billy Numerous said.
"Oh yeah? Make me." he shot back.
"If I must." Billy said. Monsieur Mallah and Gizmo jumped in. As all of the villains attacked, Robin called Cyborg and told him to help Terra.
"I'm on it!" Cyborg said.
The White Monster had been in the Jump City Mint. It had absorbed the abilities of hot liquid metal. Cyborg had enough of it. He used his sound cannon to weaken it, but it inevitably disappeared into the concrete floor. Cyborg got to the t-car and went into the direction of the school.
Terra panicked. If Kyd Wykkyd got her, she would certainly be at Slade's mercy. The villain teleported on top of one of the large bookshelves and ran at her.
I can't use them, she said to herself as she ran from the young villain.
Cyborg was just one block from the school when the White Monster attacked his car.
"Nobody touches my baby!" he said, exiting the car. Luckily, it was not severely damaged.
Cyborg used his powerful shoulder projectiles to crack the concrete-form monster. Cyborg ran into the library just in time to see Kyd Wykkyd about to cover Terra with his cloak. Cyborg tackled the villain. The villain's cape covered Cyborg, and, within seconds, he was somewhere completely different than the Murakami School.
