I looked at the clock by my bedside. It read 2:42am.
My eyes shot around the dark room until they landed on my mirror. Something in a form of a spirit began glowing above it, and the light casted a shadow revealing a man standing next to my bed.
My body tensed as my heart rapidly sped up.
My eyes grew wide with fear.
I gripped the edge of my sheets, unsure of what to do.
Who was this man and how did he get into my dorm?
I remained still, giving the illusion that I was asleep. I studied the body to find any possible clues to who this invader was.
Over 6'5".
Broad shoulders.
Wearing all black? It was hard to tell.
I glanced in the mirror just in time to see the eerie glowing orbit disappear, along with the man. I let out a sigh of relief.
Why did it feel like Deja vu?
Beastboy lied in bed as he replayed the images he witnessed yesterday.
Seeing Terra at the battlescene downtown, dressed in prep clothes for a prep school…it didn't add up.
Her stone self was gone.
And there she was. Textbooks pressed against her chest as she strangely stood in the midst of screaming people watching in awe as the Titans took down the monster.
Once he made made eye contact, she broke it and made a run for it.
He went back later, asked her to spend some time with him so he could help her remember. But it didn't work out as he planned.
Beastboy got up and silently walked to the room he and his teammates made for Terra. He instinctively sat down in his familiar corner and mentally engulfed the room. He memorized every color and location of each individual thing thing. He remembered the conversations they had and the time he asked her out. Beastboy smiled.
Then for millionth time, he crossed over to her nightstand and reached for the homemade heart box he made for her.
He scrunched his face in confusion. "Where was the box?" he wondered.
He searched the drawers of the nightstand, and checked under the bed.
Nothing.
"Where on Earth cou-"
"Titans! Let's go!" Robin yelled from down the hall. "Trouble in the city! I'm not sure what were dealing with yet."
Beastboy looked down at the space where her box should have been. He was starting to get antsy..
Starfire peeked her head in the door, "Not wanting to be of the disturbance Beastboy, but I am afraid we are needed of the assistance." She sweetly informed him.
Beastboy looked up at her, appreciating how she understood his feelings about Terra. "Okay. I'll be there in a second, Star."
Beastboy jogged to the door, took one glance back, then transformed into a cheetah to catch up with his teammates.
