Terra walked away quickly from Beastboy, the man she loved, with tears in her eyes. He walked away. Good. Being away from her would protect him. She had so deeply wanted to embrace him, hold him tight and assure him that she still loved him. She would always love him. But, telling him who she really was would put him in danger. She had vowed to never again hurt someone that she loved. At the end of the school day she met up with her leader ,as always, in an abandoned alley. He looked like he'd been in a fight recently, his clothes were torn and he had a bruise on his cheek.
"What happened?" She asked alarmed.
"Some kind of monster attacked us." He said, then, "Does anyone suspect?"
"They don't suspect a thing, Robin. Beastboy saw me."
"What did you tell him?"
"That he had the wrong girl."
"Good work, Terra."
She nodded then handed Robin the documents. He put them in his briefcase where he kept all such important documents.
"What's Slade planning?"
"I'm not sure yet." She wiped her eyes and noticed her mascara was running.
Robin raised an eyebrow then handed her a napkin. She used it to wipe away the tears in her eyes.
"I know this is hard for you, Terra."
"I miss him so much. I miss everyone…but especially him."
"It'll be over soon, I swear."
Terra nodded. It'd been six months since her return. She'd sought out Robin, begged for his forgiveness while on her knees. If he'd asked, she'd have plunged a knife in her heart to atone for the sins she'd committed. He'd had a better idea. He'd noted what a good spy she was. So, he'd given her a mission. When she completed it she'd be allowed to rejoin the Titans, if she so chose. For the mission, she'd be deep undercover. No one could know who she was. Even if Beastboy knew it would compromise the entire mission. Slade knowing about her return would be unavoidable given the nature of her mission; however a few minutes of her talking to him had convinced even him that she was completely amnesiac. According to Robin she was the best liar he'd ever met. She wasn't sure if that was good or bad.
"Robin, could you ask Beastboy something for me?"
"What?"
"Ask him if he still loves me."
"I already know the answer to that. He loves you."
Robin walked away. Terra returned home. She did her homework, watched TV for a bit, realized she'd watched five hours of the animal channel (what was wrong with her?) and it was now her bedtime. She turned off her TV and headed to bed. That night, he visited her as he always did. In her dreams she could have what she couldn't in real life. In her dreams, Beastboy held her close to himself and whispered in her ear that he loved and forgave her. In her dreams, she was at peace in his arms.
