In Your Arms

A fanfic by Internetional

Chapter 1

Freedom

Beast Boy yawned and groggily opened his eyes. It was dark. He seemed to be standing up, or maybe he was lying down. He stretched his arms. Something heavy clinked on his wrists. Surprised, he opened his eyes all the way and gasped. He, and the rest of the Titans were chained to a rock wall. Robin had his hands and feet in boxes, Cyborg had titanium plates holding him to the wall, Starfire had something like big lamp over her head, and was wrapped up in a jelly-like tentacle thing. Raven was sitting in a chair bolted to the wall, and was ringed with glowing hoops. Beast Boy himself was chained to the wall.

The Titans heard a triumphant laugh ring throughout the cavern. "Welcome back Titans!" called a mocking voice.

"Slade!" shouted Robin. "Show yourself!"

Beast Boy was puzzled. "What does he mean by 'Welcome back?'"

"Ah, still haven't figured out where you are yet, have you?" said Slade. "I'm disappointed. After all, you, Beast Boy should know the best of all your friends. Isn't this where one of your good friends was lost?"

A light illuminated the cave. Slade stood behind a girl imprisoned in rock, a girl whom the Titans knew very well. It was Terra.

Cyborg and Robin growled, Raven and Starfire gasped. All Beast Boy could do was stare open-mouthed at Slade and Terra.

"Why did you bring us here!" demanded Robin.

"Tsk. Patience, Robin, patience. I'm getting to that," Slade laughed evilly. "I decided to take a lesson from Mad Mod and some of the other villains you have fought. I must say, their means of containing you are ingenious. I should get out more."

"What are you planning and why do you need us!" Robin practically screamed his head off.

"Oh, I don't need you. I just thought that you would like to see my master plan put into action. Also, it will be easier to annihilate you later. I didn't just sneak into your tower for you. I also stole this." He held up a heart shaped box that glinted in the light.

Beast Boy spoke up, his eyes flashing in fury. "Why do you have that? And what does this halfta do with Terra? You better not hurt her!"

"Oh, my whole plan revolves around Terra."

"She'll never work for you!"

"She won't be able to resist. You see, before she betrayed you, she left some of her power in this box. If I open this box at her feet, the power in here should be enough to free her."

"But Terra still won't work for you!" Beast Boy cried, glaring at Slade.

"Yes, she will. When she stopped the volcano she used so much of her power that she will still be very weak when she is freed. She won't be able to resist my control with her strength gone. With the help of my suit that she is wearing, I can control her, eliminate you, and control the city!" Slade's one eye flashed with anticipation.

Beast Boy growled and struggled against his chains. He changed into various animals, but could not get free. The chains shrunk or grew depending on the size of his animal form.

"Ha ha! Let's get on with the main event, shall we?" Placing the box at Terra's feet he lifted the lid. A column of golden light shot out of the box and swirled around Terra. It formed a glowing sphere, so that she could not be seen. It grew in size until suddenly, there was a loud crack, and the light faded into nothingness.

There, standing where the orb had been, was Terra, exactly as she was when she had been incased in rock. A shaky breath pierced the silence and her eyes closed. She collapsed onto the rock.

A disbelieving look covered Beast Boy's face, and he whispered, "Terra?" Slade laughed evilly and began to walk slowly toward her, relishing in his success. A fierce look covered Beast Boy's face and he put his head down, straining against the chains that bound him. Suddenly the first link snapped as he rushed forward and grabbed Terra. He held her tightly, watching her face and listening to her shaky breaths.

Slade stopped. "You just made a very bad mistake." He reached to push a button on the keypad on his arm that controlled Terra's suit.

"Titans, GO!" Robin and the rest of the Titans broke free. Cyborg ran at Slade and pulled the keypad off his arm. Robin threw some round discs at Slade as Cyborg retreated. The discs blew up and let off enough smoke so Slade couldn't see.

"We can't do anything else while Terra is still unconscious. We have to go back!" called Robin to the rest of the Titans. Beast Boy was already running toward the light at the entrance of the cave. The other Titans followed. Beast Boy took no notice. The only thing that mattered to him at that moment rested in his arms.

Well, there you have it. Please review! Thanx for reading!
