Okay so like i said before this'll probably be a 3 shot, one more chapter after this, maybe 2. BB talks to Cyborg and they decide to play detective and discover something. Also the part involving DNA is complete BS, i just needed something like that, i actually don't know anything about biology so i apologize if my idea is incredibly stupid, just go with it. Review and tell me how I'm doing, thanks.
"Hey Robin," Beast boy asked the boy wonder. "Do you know where Cyborg is? I need to ask him something." Robin looked up from the newspaper he was reading and turned to Beast Boy.
"I think he's in the garage," Robin pointed a gloved finger towards Beast Boy's left. He muttered a thanks and ran off in that direction. For a normal person this behavior might have made Robin question but since it was Beast Boy he just went back to his paper.
Beast Boy opened the door to the garage to find the half-man half-machine underneath his prized T-car making some fine-tuned adjustments. Beast Boy walked over to the car and knocked on it like a door.
"Hey T-car you seen Cyborg anywhere?" At this Cyborg rolled himself out from underneath the vehicle with an annoyed look on his face.
"BB what are you doing? I thought I told you not to touch my baby, not after what happened last time…" Cyborg cringed at the thought while Beast Boy merely rolled his eyes.
"Yeah whatever, anyway Cy I need to ask you something." Cyborg stood up and wiped the grime off his face with a nearby rag.
He turned back to his friend, "Yeah what is it? You want me to beat your green butt at video games again?" When his green companion only blinked at him Cyborg realized he meant something serious and shut up.
"Uhh nah that's not it. Do you remember when I told you guys I thought I saw Terra the other day?" Cyborg blinked remembering how he and the other titans assumed he had just seen what he wanted to seen. After all, he thought, BB definitely took Terra's betrayal and later carbonation the hardest.
"Yeah BB, was it her or what?"
"Well thing is I'm not really sure." BB thought about how best to explain to Cyborg as he sat down on a nearby chair.
He told Cyborg about how the girl denied being Terra, how he kept taking her places trying to get her to remember but to no avail. Then he told her how earlier that day she had told him that things change and he had finally left her alone.
"That's harsh BB, seems to me she's either not Terra or if she is she sure doesn't want anything to do with you anymore." Beast boy nodded in sad agreement.
"Yeah I was thinking something like that, but then I had a great idea!" Cyborg noticed the smile on BB's face and raised his eyebrow in question.
"I was thinking maybe you could use some of your cool techno-gadgets on her to tell if she's really Terra." This caused a sigh to escape from Cyborg which gave Beast boy the wrong impression.
"Wait Cyborg," The green superhero pleaded. "Think about it okay? If you do this for me you can have my new gamesphere and I promise I won't go near your car and I'll stop bothering you to eat tofu waffles and…"
Beast boy's sentence suddenly ended when he ran out of things to promise. As he racked his brain Cyborg noticed how much his green friend needed this and stopped Beast boy from thinking, lest he hurt himself.
"Hey man it's cool you don't have to do all that, I'll help you out. What are friends for?" BB's eyes suddenly lit up in happiness. "You will Cyborg? Thank you man!" He tried to give Cyborg a hug but he sidestepped him.
"Alright man no mushy stuff. Anyway I have a DNA scanner attachment hidden in my room somewhere. I already have all the titans, and Terra's, DNA on it just to be prepared so if you can give me some hair or saliva from this new Terra we can see if she's for real or not."
"Whoa Cy, that plan rocks! Okay let's do it!" Beast boy transformed into a falcon and flew out the window. Cyborg rolled his eyes, "Where's he going? It's seven at night, I'm hungry." And with that Cyborg headed for the kitchen to make some dinner, five minutes later BB realized Cyborg wasn't with him and came back to the tower.
The next Cyborg and BB were heading towards the school were BB had seen the Terra look alike. BB had wanted to head there first thing in the morning to catch her before school but when crime calls, the titans must answer.
So three bank robberies and two hostage situations later and the two titans would just make it to see the girl as her school got out.
The two had talked to the other titans last night and Robin thought it was a good idea, whether they wanted Terra back or not it was still good to know if she was running around free.
The T-car arrived about a minute after the last bell rang; students were slowly trickling out of the school. When they saw Terra (if it was Terra) leave the school they got out of car and headed over to her.
Luckily she was alone, it would've been a lot harder with her two friends there, Beast boy thought. I guess she won't be happy to see me anyway so it doesn't matter. Realizing arguing with himself wasn't getting him anywhere BB walked right up to her.
"Hey Terra." She looked surprised to see him at first, and then her shock turned to anger.
"Beast boy? What do you want? I already told you I'm not that girl, if you don't stop following me I'll get a restraining order!" She walked past him but walked right into Cyborg.
"Hey there little lady, please forgive my rather stupid green friend." At this you could hear BB say, "Stupid?" but Cyborg ignored him.
"You see he kept telling me how much you looked like a friend of ours and I had to see for myself." Cyborg put his hands behind his back and started backing away from the girl. "And it's true you look just like her, anyway sorry to bother you, we'll be leaving now."
Beast boy looked utterly bamboozled. "Wait Cy, you forgot to get the-"
"I SAID we're leaving now BB!" Cyborg yelled interrupting BB, the half-man half-machine grabbed the shape shifter and ran towards the car. When they got there Cyborg dropped BB on his butt.
"DUDE, did you forgot why we're here? We needed to get some spit or hair from her!" Beast boy exclaimed, waving his arms in front of him.
"And what," Cyborg said pushing a few golden hairs in Beast boy's green face. "Are these?" BB blinked a few times, "Oh."
Cyborg rolled his eye, "Yeah I got them when she was threatening to give you a restraining order. Anyway let's put them through my DNA tester and solve this mystery!"
Cyborg pulled out a green machine that slightly resembled an Xbox and dropped the hairs into the top of it. The top of the machine pushed itself up and started spinning, this continued for a few minutes until a beeping sound like from a microwave screeched that it was finished.
Cyborg pushed a button on the side to stop the beeping and then the machine printed a small piece of paper from the other side. Cyborg grabbed it and read while Beast boy continually poked him asking what it said.
"No way…" Cyborg said as he finished reading, his face an expression of shock. "What is it? Is it the real Terra?" Beast boy pestered the other teen.
"This…is impossible…"
"What, what is it? Come on Cy, stop leaving me in the dark!"
At this Cyborg seemed to regain his composure and handed the piece of paper to BB. "Okay you see those twisty lines over the name Terra?" Beast boy nodded.
"Those are the old Terra's DNA pattern, completely normal, just likes mine or anyone else's." Beast boy nodded his head, not sure what Cyborg was insinuating.
"You see those other twisty lines over the words new entry? Those are the new Terra's." Beast boy looked at the second diagram then squinted.
"But Cyborg there aren't the same number of lines."
"Exactly, there are only half the numbers of a normal person." Beast boy finally started to look worried, though he wasn't totally sure why yet.
"What does that mean?"
"The only thing I can think of is that with half the DNA strings she's only half a person. But that doesn't make any sense, not to mention it's impossible."
"But what I haven't told you yet is the half that is there DO match to Terra, so whoever that girl is she's half of Terra." At this BB's eyes grew wide as an imaginary light bulb appeared above his head.
"Cyborg, do you think something happened to Terra after she got out of her rock statue thing? Hey, maybe that's why she didn't remember me!" Cyborg nodded in agreement.
"I think your right; someone must have done something to her, but who?" At this BB's expression grew hard.
"Who else? Slade."
