Hi! I'm here to write a Teen Titans story for the first time. I got this idea after Raven said they would try to reverse the effect. This is my first Teen Titans story, so PLEASE BY GENTLE!!! I'm sorry if it sucks! With that said, my puppy-muse will do the disclaimer.
Scribble: Can't YOU do it?
Me: Hey, do you want a job, or not?
Scribble: We don't own Teen Titans, or any comic books with Teen Titans, but we own a tape with the last two episodes.
Me: One quick note- every time there's a new setting, that means a change in point of view. Since this is a crossover, I'll show both, the Teen Titan's and the X-men's. It starts with the teen Titans.
Set Me Free
As promised, when the Teen Titans weren't fighting crime, bringing down bad guys, or training, they were working on how to help Terra. Ever since that last fight with Slade, she had been turned to stone. Starfire thought Slade was gone, but Robin told her Slade was like a cockroach, he never died.
(A/N: My brother thought Slade was dead, so I told him that.)
One day, Raven called all the Titans together in the living room. "I have some information on how the free Terra."
"We can free her? Marvelous!" Starfire cried, excited.
"Well, actually, there's good news and bad news." Everyone was silent, so she spoke again. "The good news is it is possible to free Terra."
"So then, what could the bad news be?" asked Beast Boy.
"The bad news is we can't free her. To do so, we would need someone with a different kind of power. A power that we don't have."
Meanwhile
In a town far away, Rouge woke up in the middle of the night with a nightmare, still gasping and sweating a little. Kitty, who was in the room with her, immediately woke up and went to comfort her. "Rouge! What is it? What's wrong?"
"I-I had a nightmare."
"Don't worry, then. It wasn't real."
"But...." She paused. Kitty waited. "But it felt so real. It felt like it had happened before."
"Maybe tomorrow you can ask Professor Xavier about it."
(A/N: HELP! I can't spell names! If that's wrong, please review and tell me! And I can't spell the computer name either! Or Mystik!)
Early the next morning, after breakfast when everyone had gone, Rouge went to see the professor. "Um...Professor Xavier?"
"Yes Rouge?" asked Xavier, who was about to go down to Cerebro.
"I- I had a weird dream, but I'm kinda worried, and I don't quite remember it all. Do you think you can help?"
"Of course," Xavier told her. She sat down in a chair and Xavier put his hands on her head, like he had done to see the nightmare about Kurt's past. He concentrated.
At first there was a familiar scene. Mystik turning into stone, then Rouge pushing her off a cliff and shattering her. It had only happen a few months before. Then there was something new. Some thing the Professor had never seen. But he knew this wasn't just a dream. These were real people. This had really happened. There was a bunch of kids (were they mutants?) in a room where a volcanic reaction was about to take place. They were all about to go, but a blonde girl stayed back to stop it. While the others escaped, she pushed her powers to the limit, and saved the city from the volcano, but in doing so, she turned her body to stone. An image of the stone Mystik flashed in Rouge's mind, then the girl again. The professor pulled away, a little troubled.
"It wasn't just a dream, was it?" Rouge asked.
"No, Rouge it wasn't. It really happened."
"Then- who were they?"
"I haven't an idea. But I intend to find out. I'll tell everyone later," said Xavier, making a mental note to add something else to do while at Cerebro as he wheeled away.
At Titan Tower
A few weeks passed by, yet none of the Titans could find anyone who could help Terra. They were about to give up hope. That's when they received a letter. It was addressed to the Teen Titans and read:
To Whom it may Concern:
I have seen of your situation and have researched to find out about what had happened. I know she is in there, and I believe I can help. I have here a friend who has the power to reverse the situation. If you wish, we can come down here and help her out. If that's what you want, return a letter saying so to the address on the envelope and we'll decide a date to come out.
That was what the entire letter read.
"So...who are these people?" Cyborg asked as Robin finished reading the letter aloud.
"I'm not sure. It doesn't seem like this is a trick." Robin thought aloud.
"Well, if they can help, we should get them to come here," Beast Boy said, beginning to feel hopeful again.
"But that still leaves the question of: Who are these people?" Raven asked. "We don't know them. They could be anyone. Even Slade."
"But what if they really can help? Shouldn't we take that chance?" Beast Boy asked.
Robin sighed. He hated it when the Titans didn't agree, which was about half the time. That meant he would have the final word, which could be good or bad. "Well, maybe they really can help. If so, they should come."
"And if they do not wish to help? If they wish to hurt us instead?" Starfire asked.
"Then, like all other villains, we take them down."
Later, in an Airplane
The students at the Institute were flying down the Gotham City to meet the Teen Titans for the first time. After Xavier had used Cerebro to locate them, he learned more about them, and decided to it would be a good thing to help. Crime fighters, like the Teen Titans, were also, to an extent, peace keepers, like the X-men. They were basically on the same side.
After sending the letter to the Teen Titans, they responded a couple of weeks later. They decided to meet in three weeks, and now the X-men were on their way down to see them and try to help.
Rouge was a little nervous. She turned to Kurt, who was sitting next to her. "I don't think I can do this," she said in a quiet voice, as to keep everyone else from hearing.
"Vat do you mean? Vhy not?"
"You remember what happened last time. What if I do it again? I honestly didn't want to push her off the cliff, but I couldn't stop myself. What if I do the same to her?"
"You von't. I know you von't. You vere angry with Mystik for betraying you. But you've never met zis girl. You have no reason to be angry of vengeful. You von't hurt her. You'll set her free."
Rouge tried to smile. "Thanks Kurt," she said, but she really didn't feel any better at all.
Soon, the airplane made it to the airport. Xavier, Logan, Kurt, and Rouge had all went on this mission. When they arrived at the when they looked for the Titans, they saw a group of kids- the oldest looking was a cyborg, the was a girl with long red hair, a girl in a cape with a hood, keeping herself mostly hidden, a boy with green skin, and a boy with black hair and a mask. Xavier knew what to expect, and while the others were a little nervous, that all vanished when the saw the Teen Titans.
At Titan Tower.
After the Titans picked up the X-men, they took them back to the tower in the T-car. They were a little amazed. They had no idea what to expect, but none of them expected a man in a wheelchair, and man with dark hair and a little of a stubble, a girl with dark hair dyed white in front, and a boy with blue hair and an accent. Although everyone was a little nervous at first, they soon got to talk, and found that these people, although different, were just like them.
When the group got back to Titan Tower, they explained what had happened, in a lot more detail then what Xavier had seen in Rouge's dream. Then Robin finished, saying, "But if it's true, and you can help, we'll pay you back for it."
Xavier shook his head. "Don't worry, you won't need to repay us."
"But I'm curios- how did you find out about us?" Raven asked.
Xavier looked at Rouge and she nodded. "I- I saw you all in a dream. I asked the professor, and he said it wasn't a dream, it was real. We all decided to help."
Raven nodded, now more at ease.
"So you can really help her?" Cyborg asked.
Kurt spoke now. "My mother vas in ze same situation as your friend."
"Did you free her?" asked Starfire excitedly.
Rouge averted her eyes. "I didn't get a chance," she said and everyone realized it would be best to drop it.
Soon the Titans drove every body down to where Terra was, but just before they left, when everyone had left the room, Robin had asked Logan, "How can she free Terra?"
Logan sighed. He decided to try and give him an explanation without violating Rouge's privacy. "Rouge, like your friend, had a special power. If she touched you with her bare hand, she would acquire all the powers you have, and even some memories. What we guess is, if she touches Terra, she'll take the power that froze her away and reverse the effect. Terra won't be able to use her powers, but only for a short time, then she'll be back to normal."
Soon they were at the place where Terra had been turned to stone. Beast Boy looked up at her. 'This is it, Terra,' he thought. 'We can finally reverse the effect. You'll be free now.'
Inside the Building
Rouge averted her eyes as she walked into the building. She walked up to where Terra was with her eyes focused on the ground, still nervous. Then she looked up to Terra's face.
As soon as she did, her fears vanished. It was like Kurt said. She didn't feel angry when she looked at Terra, and she didn't feel the same way about Terra that she felt about her "mother". That's what she had really been worried about- that when she saw this girl, she would see Mystik, and become angry again. But she felt no anger- she saw this girl, and felt horrible, and wanted to help.
She pulled off her glove and reached out to touch Terra's hand. "Hey, Terra," she whispered. "You probably can't hear, so I'm probably crazy for talking, but if you can hear me, don't worry. I'll help you. You'll be all right."
She touched Terra's hand.
Inside the Building
The Titans watched as Rouge touched Terra's hand. At first, nothing happened. Then, the rock part of her started to recede. It started to crack and pull away towards Rouge. There was a flash, just like there had been when Terra had stopped the volcano, then Terra was on her hands and knees on the ground, looking confused and dazed, while Rouge was holding her head as though she had a headache.
Beast Boy ran over to Terra, saying, "Terra! I'm so glad you're all right!"
Terra looked up at him. "What- what happened? I stopped the volcano, right?"
"Yeah, but you turned to stone. Rouge helped you out."
Terra looked up at Rouge, and Rouge, who was feeling better, looked back at her. For a second, they just stared. Then Rouge smiled.
Terra smiled back. "Thank you," she said to Rouge. "You set me free."
Scribble: Aw how sweet (rolls eyes). So what's up for the next chapter?
Me: Yeah well, it was a little sweet but- wait! Next chapter?
Scribble: Yeah, of course!
Me: THERE IS NO NEXT CHAPTER! THIS IS A ONE- SHOT!
Scribble: I WANT A NEXT CHAPTER!!!!!
Me: sigh. Well, I'll only write another chapter if that's what reviewers want. If you people reading this wanting another chapter, review me and tell me if it's ok as it is, or if I should add on, or write a sequel. Please don't flame me, but good reviews and constructive criticism are welcomed. Super Powers Rock!
