So, as usual, please review, and I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 2

Nothing Could Come Between Us

He hated her!

He loved her!

He felt everything towards her, but the green changeling knew that he loved her.

He was walking down the street, not paying attention to anyone or anything. Right now he just wanted to close up into his own little world, live in a fantasy where he could be with Terra forever. He wanted the memories to happen once again... He wanted good memories to happen all over again. The hugs, the good times... he wanted them to happen all over again. History repeats itself he told himself; but it was unlikely. Terra had made it so clear that she wanted to be alone, to save the world from herself... He bumped into a few people, but he didn't care about the tiny jolts from busy businessmen and women who couldn't care about heroes in the early morning rush.

"Life's a bitch for me isn't it?" He muttered, asking that to the people who were to busy to notice him

They'd break up; they'd make up, and then they'd break up again, only to make up again... An in and out relationship for him and the blond angel. Only this time the 'out' was staying that way. He really did hate her because she put him through this; but he knew he was only doing this to himself... He could leave Terra alone if he wanted to, but he couldn't; he felt drawn to her like a flame to fuel in a cliché Hollywood move scene, where the flame just has to find the petrol and cause it to explode. At this rate; if he kept hurting himself over Terra, he'd lose his mind. Well, at least then he wouldn't feel the lingering pain of loss. Another jolt from a passer by; he didn't care. The pain was a numbing effect; it helped the pain somewhat in some strange way.

He looked up to the sky to see Starfire flying overhead; perhaps on some sort on early morning joy-flight like him; only he was walking, and this was hardly joy he was feeling. He hung his head back low, looking at the ground beneath him that only reminded him of Terra. It was always him who got it. Sure, his friends always managed to get some pain, but that always worked out for them, it didn't work out for him. He felt like being in a dream he couldn't wake up from, or perhaps he was in a Greek tragedy; and one of them would die... Nah, too much like a play; but there was something bugging him; why was he drawn to Terra? When Terra had been yelling at him, he could swear that underneath the base words, was a deeper meaning; almost like 'I wish I hadn't met you at all!' So why wasn't he listening?

He kept on walking. Luckily the traffic of people was clearing. Shame that the numbing physical pain wouldn't be there anymore. His eyes moved upwards though his head didn't, and he could swear he saw Terra walking towards him from the opposite direction... School uniform, clutching her books, looking where she was doing; she looked good. She looked awfully good; so good he just wanted to grab hold of her and kiss her full on the lips. She kisses back, they find themselves wrapped up in each other, fall to the floor and... I'm fantasising about her his mind told him monotonously. Not that he didn't mind fantasising about her; but right there in the street with everyone watching?

Terra noticed him; and prayed that he stopped her and tried to talk to her once again. After yesterday, when they exchanged real name; by accident, she couldn't find the courage to talk to him again. She didn't want him to plead to her again, but she did want it. It made her feel... good, wanted, knowing that Beast Boy was practically on his knees begging her to come back. It wasn't the kind of derisive pleasure you get from seeing him beg, it was just, a feel good thing, knowing that he needed her... But she couldn't put him through all that again, she couldn't make him feel the pain of being with her. What happened last time? Slade tore them apart; and he could easily do so again. Truth be told, she was afraid of the risk. Afraid of facing everything again. It was tearing her up... not being able to be with him; but it was for the best. For the best? Terra asked herself. Was that true? They could be... No, she wouldn't think like that! This was for the best.

Suddenly she perked up in, like a sudden electric shot had pulsed through her for a split second. Beast Boy was gone; they'd walked right past each other and she hadn't even realised it. The question now what what should do do? Turn around, go to Beast Boy and talk... or just keep walking? Talk or walk? Walk or talk? Walk... Talk!

Without realising it until it had occurred, her legs turned her one-hundred and eighty degrees, and increased her speed to a jog. It took a moment to reach him. Though the rush hour crowd had cleared a little, there was still a labyrinth of people to duck and dive through. She got up behind him after a moment.

"Beast Boy?"

His ears visibly woke up, twitching upwards at the sound of her voice. He stopped his march, causing Terra to stop too. He turned his head, and there stood Terra. He avoiding her today for a reason, but she'd come to him instead. Why? Well, he didn't want to complain; at least she was talking to him by choice for once.

"Is something up... Tara?"

Ouch! That stung... Not because he'd remembered her name; but something else... that he was slowly beginning to desensitize himself to the fact that she was now 'Tara Markov the schoolgirl', not 'alias: Terra'

"Well... no, it's just that you didn't try to talk me around this time. I was almost concerned." Almost? That's a laugh... She was concerned! Beast Boy just wasn't being Beast Boy like recently.

"You have told me in more ways than one that..." No point in repeating what she said. "Well, you know what you said." Beast Boy turned about so he was fully facing Terra. He had an idea; but she'd never take it... but it was always best to try. "I was wondering... I mean I know you wouldn't want to, and I know you have school... but I thought you might...

"Might what?"

"Have some breakfast with me?"

Breakfast? Either that was an extremely lame come on, or he was genuinely trying to make up for everything. She decided on the latter. She could see it in those deep dark green eyes that he was sincere. They held so much, and were so deep and... She mentally shook off her slow drown before she started to stare dumbly at him. She was hungry...

"Okay; on one condition." She noticed Beast Boy's eyes flicker slightly at her firm tone. "You don't say anything to try and get me to join the Titans again. Deal?"

"Deal." Beast Boy answered with a small smile. "Pizza?"

... Maybe breakfast wasn't such a good idea after all...

"Anyone know where Starfire is?" Robin was searching the tower for Starfire.

Coming to the main room with the crescent moon couch and the overly huger T.V., he found Cyborg and Raven having morning breakfast. Cyborg was having his traditional waffles, and Raven was having some sandwiches, he didn't know what was in them, and some herbal tea, while peacefully reading a book.

"Not a clue." Cyborg muffled through the two or three waffles in his mouth.

"She went flying." Raven told them both. Both boys looked at her just before she took a sip of her herbal tea. "She didn't tell me where."

"Probably just went on a morning flight." Cyborg suggested. "I wouldn't be too concerned."

"Well... alright." Robin surrendered, though a strange worry stayed in his throat. "But if she doesn't come back soon..."

Pizza for breakfast… It was strange to say the least; but stranger things have happened in the world. Right? Being breakfast, the pizza was small, dotted with tomato slices and gratings of cheese. Cheese and tomato, the vegetarian choice. After all, she was with Beast Boy

"How are you liking it?" The green changeling asked Terra.

"Fine…" She answered with no hint of emotion in her voice.

She sensed Beast Boy sink back into his own world a little. She hadn't really been paying much attention to him because she didn't really want to look at him. This had not been such a hot idea… She wanted to stay away from Beast Boy and keep him away... but here she was, enjoying a small pizza with him. I must be giving out so many mixed messages She told herself, taking another small bite of her slice, eyes always closed. She couldn't deny that, despite the uneasy silence, she was happy about this small breakfast.

It was the pizza place where she always went past just a little faster to avoid the memories. This would be just one more good memory to add to the list named 'Avoid at all costs!' They were sat at one of the typically unstable white plastic tables, and sat on white plastic chairs. Terra had placed her books near the edge of the table, while the plate for the pizza lay in the centre. Terra sat on the right, and him on the Beast Boy. She opened her eyes after swallowing and looked over at Beast Boy. He was silently munching the crust of his last pizza slice, being surprisingly mature about eating. Normally he was the noisiest eater she'd even seen; or heard, but here he was being quiet and slow about it… Like he was trying to sedate her and open her up. She wouldn't submit.

"Te-… Ta-…" Beast Boy stumbled over his words after finishing his crust. "What do you want me to call you by?"

"Whatever you like." Terra answered apathetically.

"Terra…" He hadn't really planned much else of what he was going to say to her. "Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?"

"This." He pointed to her books with his thumb in a hitch-hiker style. "Why are you running from your past?"

"I'm… not running!" Terra fuddled the words out of her mouth, glaring at Beast Boy, whose face turned stern as stone. "I'm trying to protect people from me."

"Yeah right!" He slammed his fist onto the table, shocking Terra but she didn't recoil. "You're just scared Terra, just like when you betrayed us!"

Silence fell like a falling bird from the sky, then crashing into the ground in one large splat. Terra's expression had switched into one of speechless shock, and she just stared at Beast Boy with this expression. The green changeling's face went into a calm expression, but from his wide eyes he was nervous, realising what he had just shouted at her. It was definitely not the best thing to say... Especially if he was trying to get back onto at least friendly terms. Now he'd gone and blown it! Stupid! He noticed Terra's expression seem to transform into one of pure anger, it even seemed to jerk tighter every so often... then it seemed to slowly calm, but her eyes maintained an air of anger.

"Thanks for reminding me... bastard!" Terra could only say to him, just below the threshold of screaming at him.

"Sorry!" Beast Boy said back in the same half-shout as Terra. "But you have to admit it Terra... you're scared."

"Of course I'm scared!" This time Terra slammed her fist into the table, performing the action so hard the flimsy plastic table rocked, causing the metal that once held the pizza to rattle. "I'm scared of hurting anyone and everyone the moment I use my powers. I'm scared I'm going to hurt everyone I care about."

Once again, silence... It seemed like a persistent bull that was trying to shake off it's rider. The silence this time seemed to calm things however. Both green changeling and blond geomancer eased themselves down to a mutual quiet, which only added to the silence. Throughout it they just stared, finding themselves adrift in each others eyes. Terra could only stare at those dark green eyes. They were just so deep, spoke so much about the inner turmoil that Beast Boy was experiencing... and about her, and what she was doing... god it tore her apart inside! To see the pain she was causing that he barely let out on the surface, letting his jester-like humour blanket it.

"Terra..." Beast Boy began quietly. "I'm sorry for what I just said. I'm just angry about... what's happened-"

"I'm not surprised." Terra interrupted with a strange calm in her voice; apparently beginning to return to her soft, ignorant schoolgirl demeanour. "I would be too." She began reaching for her school books, now messed up slightly from the recent fist slams on the table. "I need to go."

Her fingertips grazed the top of the book pile, very lightly at that, teasingly so, but her hand was stopped by another grabbing her wrist. Next, her hand was moved back, then held in the gloved hand of Beast Boy. He was trying to keep her here just a moment longer. She stared at Beast Boy's face again, which now seemed to be one of deep longing.

"Beast Boy; I need to go. I have school" She tried to imitate urgency, but in her heart she relished this last moment, her hand held soothingly in his.

"This won't take a moment." Beast Boy told her, biting his bottom lip as he did, though his eyes never diverted from Terra's. "I have a one favour to ask... then we can be on whatever relationship basis you want us to be."

She could only nod slowly and calmly. Her heart though was beating so fast it could probably look like a flat line on a heart monitor. Something about that last statement made her nervous, tense, put her in suspense... and left her anticipating something... something they had done together once before, but they were rudely interrupted before it actually occurred.

"Terra; remember that time at the fair?" She could only nod again. Her hand, the one held by Beast Boy, was beginning to heat up from being held for so long. She noticed a tiny blush on Beast Boy's cheeks. "We never... We never finished that night..."

What the hell is he talking about? Terra asked herself inside her head. Never finished the night? What could he... oh... Her stomach acid was churning now, and add that to the over-active heartbeat she was having, and she felt sick... but in a strangely good sort of way.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked at last, his voice so soft and soothing.

He didn't wait for an answer, but he moved his face towards hers at a caterpillar pace, even as a bright pink blush adorned her cheeks. He felt no resisting push on his chest, heard no words that told him to stop, so he told himself that she wanted this too. He was halfway in when his eardrums responded to words spoken by the blond girl who's personal space he was invading.

"I'm doing this for me," she whispered to him as she began moving forward at a nervous pace, "not for you."

"I can live with that." He whispered back to her so quietly her ears barely detected any sound.

They connected.

Fireworks seemed to erupt all along her lips. They had kissed for the first time! Everything else melted: her life, her past, her future, everything melted in the melding of hot lips. This moment was all that mattered. She kissed back, falling straight into his kiss, and she began to hold the hand Beast Boy had been using to hold hers, tangling up their fingers in Christmas wrapping. Screw everything about being a schoolgirl who wanted nothing to do with her past; this wasn't the past, this was the here and now, and she'd relish it.

Only it was all over so soon.

A large crash was heard, and instinctively Beast boy's head spun so he could look left, the direction of the explosion. Terra turned her head in the opposite direction at the exact same time, as if that crash had been some sort of warning beacon that the kiss was lingering a bit too long. It lasted a magnificent five seconds... her head told it was a lifetime. She held a hand up to the side of her face, and rested it on her skin, hiding her intense blush. She hung her head low so her hair could act as a secondary shield.

Beast Boy turned back to Terra, and tried to see her face, but it as well hidden.

"Terra, I have to go."

"Yeah..." She dead panned to him, doing a surprisingly good job of hiding her embarrassment.

She heard Beast Boy run off, and quickly grabbed her books... In her heart, as she collected her books, she told herself that she should be helping him; but she'd promised herself never to use her powers again. Terra finished collecting up her books, and immediately began walking towards school, in the opposite direction to Beast Boy.

That kiss had been truly a thing to treasure, even if she was going to lock the memory away in a filing cabinet.

Unknown to either of them; a waiter came out to give them the bill; only neither of them was there.

Cinderblock had begun his rampage. No one really knew what he was after, but he just seemed to be destroying things for fun this morning. Civilians were scattering in panic as Cinderblock overturned a car onto it's roof with a scary ease. He then began stomping down the road, eventually reaching another car and bringing both granite like fists down on top of it, crushing it like a can, an causing an alarm to go off. This continued down the road, craters left wherever his feet had stamped into the ground. The end of the street was marked with a large building, a skyscraper, with more civilians scattering out of the front door like frightened rabbits. Cinderblock stomped up to the front door. A man was left frozen just outside the front door; and he could only watch on in terror as Cinderblock swung his fists over his head, and prepared to bring them down on top of him, which would no doubt turn him into mush. The man, who was wearing a typical black suit, clasped his head into his heads and clenched his eyes shut, attempting to wish away his nightmare.

A growl that sounded like grinding stones was heard. The man opened one eye, shaking and sobbing with fear. It was like a dream; for the large granite man was no longer standing over him like a tower block, about to turn him into a gooey pulp with collapsing rubble. He stood up straight once again, and the road was just empty, besides the carnage left by Cinderblock.

All of a sudden, a person walked past him; walking in the direction of the man's left, towards Cinderblock, but it was like no person he'd ever seen. This teenage looking kid was very different... For a start, there seemed to be a glowing aura of what look like light blue light that flared like a fire...

Beast Boy had transformed into a green ostrich and ran to the scene at best speed. Needless to say, he got a lot of stares, but he was running half way across the city, and an ostrich seemed a better option than a cheetah, which could only sprint short distances.

He turned left onto the road where Cinderblock had first been sited. It was a mess of broken ground and smashed cars. He skidded to stop and went back into human form. Walking cautiously down the road he surveyed the damage... Cinderblock could do this easily, no doubt about it. He turned right, walking around the corner, and noticed three things. One, another badly smashed street. Two, Cinderblock was laying flat on his back, his feet pointing at Beast Boy. Three, stood at the granite giant's feet was a teenaged kid, who was apparently staring down at Cinderblock.

Beast Boy kept up his cautious walk, now making it silent as he watched this teenage kid. From the looks of things, he was male, and wearing a dulled white long sleeve top, with a dulled white robe for his legs. He wore black boots, and over his back with two green straps, each going in a diagonal direction, forming a 'X' shape on his back. The straps were quite wide and went into a brown belt wrapped around his waist. The straps were a dark green and dotted in equal distances with studs, which were a light green. The straps were green. His hair was red, as in pure red. It was also pointing downwards, appearing almost like Raven's hair-style, though it was spiked at the ends rather then cut straight. He had quite broad shoulders, and the slightly loose sleeves he wore appeared to hide gently muscled, but fairly large arms for his age. His back was also gently muscled. Over his shoulders seemed something like an overhead shade thing, he couldn't really tell what it was, but it was curved almost to the point of seeming sharp, and bent downwards.

The red-haired kid suddenly shot around and glared at Beast Boy. He had intense brown eyes, which had the tiniest hint of red, which were around average size, and his skin seemed to be a slightly dull peach. He had a slightly long nose. At the front of his hair were two tufts that went down the sides of his head, and perhaps a little down the front, each in about three unequal spikes. He also had red eyebrows, which were the average width and thickness it seemed. The sleeves were uneven as well. The front stopped at the wrists, but the backs went past his hands, which were covered with brownish-red fingerless gloves. He seemed to be about Raven's height, though perhaps two or three centimetres taller at most. His unusual white top had a thin triangular cut down the centre which stopped just above where the green straps crossed over each other in their 'X' shape, showing off part of his chest; or it would had it not been covered in what seemed to be a light black top underneath.

Beast Boy stared with a confused expression at the strange teenage male as he kept up his cautious walk. He surmised this kid had taken down Cinderblock single handed. Something puzzled him though... As he got closer, this unknown kid's expression got changed more and more. The stare remained, but it was now more based around fear, his face fully visible to the green changeling, his teeth gritted, and his eyes wide and dilated.

"Dude..." Beast Boy began softly as he kept walking, "you okay?"

"Back off!" The kid yelled, throwing his right arm up and pointing an open palm at Beast Boy. "Not another step!"

Beast Boy stopped walking, not willing to risk a challenge against this kid, who's possible powers and abilities were unknown at this time. There was also something else... This kid seemed human enough, but his unusual clothing and even more unusual red hair pointed to one of two things: he was foreign, or he wasn't human.

The kid slowly lowered his arm, his now half-fearful half-intense stare remaining. Suddenly, a bright blue aura erupted around him, apparently coming from nowhere. It seemed to flare around him a like a fire... this was the fireball! In a great display of speed, the kid lifted off the ground and flew above the rooftops, a light blue con-trail following on a foot behind the red-haired teenager. He then shot away in the direction of the desert.

"This was the scene from earlier today." A news reporter commented on the television. "The unknown red-haired boy single-handedly took down Cinderblock, but then apparently threatened Beast Boy before flying off at high speed, as this footage shows." Shaky camera footage of the entire scene was played, clearly an amateur video from some of the badly focused shots and grainy visuals. "Whoever this teenage boy is, his motives seem unclear at this time. Chief of police, Jonathan Green, had this to say..."

The police chief, a mike held near to his mouth, came up on the television.

"While this kid sees to have good motives; after his threat to one of the Titans, we can only guess if his motives are good. We shall take no other action than to keep an eye on this teenager until his motives become clear."

"And that's all from us," the reporter said, now back on screen, "this is Mike Namble for Channel Seven News."

The huge television of Titans Tower flicked off, the remote held by Cyborg. It was now two in the afternoon. The five Titans were sat on the crescent moon couch, all facing each other. From left to right sat Starfire, Beast Boy, Robin, Cyborg, then Raven.

"Well, this guy seems okay." Cyborg said. "A bit uptight, but okay."

"You're kidding right?" Raven dead panned "He threatened Beast Boy, and if he is the fireball in the sky that's been flying around, we've seen what he can do."

"Don't you threaten me all the time Raven?" Beast Boy asked sarcastically, raising his eyebrows at her from across the couch.

"That's different..." She told him monotonously.

"We should do as the police are doing." Robin told them. "We'll wait till his motives are clear. Raven, tonight, use your telepathic powers and find out where this guy is."

"Shouldn't we just stop him?" Raven asked, challenging her leader. "He's dangerous."

"When I saw the dude," Beast Boy interrupted, leaning forward on his knees with his forearms, "there was something in his eyes. It wasn't malice or anger or anything like that... It was fear. For whatever reason I don't know, this guy is scared of me, perhaps all of us. Perhaps we should just help him."

"We'll wait till his motives are clear!" Robin told them all firmly. "Raven, tonight, use your telepathic powers and find out where this guy is. If we can find where he lives we've got a better chance of tracking what he does."

She nodded gently as confirmation that she would do just that. The Titans all stood up and went about their activities. Robin went to training, Raven went to her room, presumably to mediate, Cyborg went to the garage, and Beast Boy also went to his room What none of them had noticed was that Starfire had remained totally silent throughout the entire meeting between the five heroes, with a concerned expression criss-crossing her face. She went to the kitchen and began cooking, pulling out a bowl and dropping in some berries, preparing the night's zorka berry pie, and trying to ward off Silkie from the said berries. She pulled out a wooden spoon and began stirring, and kept on stirring...

After half an hour, while she was still cooking, Robin came back into the room and stood at the counter. He seemed to be in the final phases of panting hard, most likely from his training, and he seemed to be somewhat sweaty on his face; which seemed to have been recently wiped off. Ignoring how good he looked at this moment, or how close he was, she continued her stirring.

He noticed how Starfire looked, a strange expression of concern on her face.

"Star, is something up?" He asked her gently.

"No," she told him quickly, her gaze shooting up from the bowl she was using to the mask of Robin. "everything is perfectly fine." She gave him a nervous smile.

Robin's eyebrow raised in confusion. Starfire normally wasn't this nervous about anything... Unless she was hiding something important... Was she? Should he be pushing her for an answer? The side of him that was her friend told him to leave it, but the detective in him told him to ask her again... The two sides waged an inner war, each thrusting and parrying frantically. That war lasted all of three seconds. His decision was made!

"Starfire, you're hiding something." He told her in a simple yet uncompromising tone. "What is it?"

The red-headed alien girl sighed hard into the bowl of now liquidated zorka berries. She couldn't deny him the information she held... She had to tell him something otherwise the trust between them would be shattered at a later date. She had to tell him something...

"It is... possible... that I know this teenage boy that defeated Cinderblock; and threatened friend Beast Boy." She noticed Robin's expression changed into one of a serious curiosity. "I am not certain however. I do have a personal database of people I knew from before I first came to Earth. I shall look through it tonight and attempt to find out who it is.

She noticed Robin's expression, or what she could see of it due to his eyes being hidden behind the mask, revert to it's normal calm but serious posture. She'd dodged the bullet, and Robin would ease off for the time being

"Okay Starfire. If you find anything, let me know."

She nodded politely, and he went to sit on the couch, turning the television back on to watch the news for any extra information. After over half an hour of stirring the zorka berries non-stop, she noticed that they were now just a liquid. She been so concerned with events from this morning that she had lost track of times and how long she had been stirring. Whispering a curse word in Tamaranean, she poured the liquid berries down the drain and put a fresh batch into the bowl... this time double the amount she would normally need.

Raven came out of her room an hour later, refreshed from her meditation, her hood down and her cloak wrapped around her. Things were still troubling her however. For a start; this new guy. He'd threatened Beast Boy, and that meant one thing to her... He couldn't be trusted! In her mind they should find this red-haired teenage kid and stop him before his. This was pointless though, Robin had told her what to do and she would do it, no matter how much she disagreed with his methods. Robin's methods seemed... ludicrous, sometimes. Her mind growled at the boy wonder, then she sighed outright to calm her mind again.

"Hey Rae." A friendly voice called out from behind her.

Cyborg jogged up and walked next to her down the corridor. When he had been jogging she could almost feel the floor vibrate because of the big metal man's size and probable weight.

"Can I help you?" She asked monotonously.

"Can I help you?" He repeated to her, noticing how she seemed plagued by thoughts.

"Maybe... This new guy; what do you think of him?"

"The redhead?" He asked rhetorically. "I think he's scared and confused."

"And that's why he threatened Beast Boy?" She asked in a dry tone, moving her eyes to the corners so she could look at the tall teenage half-man.

"Remember when Starfire first came to Earth?" Raven nodded very slightly, the signal for him to continue. "Remember how scared and confused she was?"

"Is this going somewhere?" Raven asked harshly, hurrying him along with his point.

"Think about it... He's scared and confused by Earth. We're just lucky he isn't wrecking everything like Starfire did."

"I suppose we're also lucky he already knows English." Raven joked sarcastically in her monotone.

She looked away when Cyborg chuckled quite heartily. The issue of the 'first kiss' between Robin and Starfire always got a laugh from him.

"All I'm saying is, the dude is trying to help, but he doesn't trust anyone yet. If we give him time to adjust to us, he might be more... hospitable. You had to adjust to us."

"I'm still adjusting..." Raven mentioned sarcastically.

Cyborg chuckled again, causing Raven to role her eyes in response. Cyborg then gave Raven a small pat on the back, his way of saying goodbye for now. Raven didn't know which way he went, but once again she was walking the corridors alone... peaceful... quiet... That's not right! her brain informed her. Beast Boy was supposed to be running about all over the place with all sorts of noisy words and pranks. She remembered then that he was in his room again. It was rare Beast Boy wanted to be alone; but she knew when it was best to leave people alone, so she shoved that concern to the back of her head. Her concern now was finding this red-headed teenage boy who had threatened her friend for no reason.

This guy would not hurt her friends!
