Chapter 2 - Runaway Lovers
Terra was pacing back and forth in Beast boys room, deep in though. Once she had finished arguing with the other titans and left the main room, she headed straight back into Beast boys room, so she could keep an eye on him.
Beast boy had promised not to hurt himself again, but fear in Terras mind was greater than her logical side, so she stayed there to keep an eye on him, while planning on stuff like, if they were going to leave the titans tower, where would they go or how would they survive on the streets.
Her thoughts drifted back to the events that had taken place earlier. 'I cannot believe it. How could I have been so blind.' she scolded herself. As her gaze fell back on her lover, her eyes softened. She hated seeing him in such a vulnerable state. She had to do something before she was going to see an encore performance of what Beast boy attempted earlier.
She suddenly stopped pacing as she remembered one person that could help her out in a situation like this. 'Cheshire'. Her mood lightened considerably as she decided to ask for her help.
She quickly ran to her room to retrieve her phone. Once she reached her door, she typed in her password, which unlocked the door to her bedroom. She rushed in and grabbed her cellphone from her nightstand and headed back into Beast boys room, forgetting to shut her bedroom door.
Once she re-entered Beast boys room, she took a glance at Beast boys sleeping form. 'Don't worry my love. Everything is going to be ok' with that though, she headed to Beast boys personal bathroom to call Cheshire.
As she typed in several numbers and started calling Cheshire, her thoughts drifted back when her and Cheahire had actually become friends.
Terra and Cheshire had become friends soon after Terra had betrayed the titans over 2 year ago. At first her and Cheshire didn't get along well, but overtime they learned to tolerate each other. Eventually they became close friends, like sisters. They always had each others backs, wether it was in battle or some other type of conflict. They often told each other about their secrets. Cheshire had even given some advice on how to-
She snapped out of her thought as Cheahire answered her call.
CHESHIRE: "Hello"
TERRA: "Hey Cheshire, it's Terra"
CHESHIRE: "Oh, hey how's my little sister doing" she asked in a cheerily tone.
TERRA: "Not so good, I need your help" she said in a serious tone.
CHESHIRE: "What's wrong" she asked in a worried tone.
TERRA: "Can you come to the Titans tower to pick me and Beast boy up. I'll explain everything to you once we have left the tower" she said in a pleading tone, which Cheshire recognized easily, which made her wonder about the seriousness of Terras situation.
CHESHIRE: "Okay. I'll be over in about half an hour" she said in a serious tone.
TERRA: "Ok, thanks for help" she said, her mood brightened up considerably.
CHESHIRE: "Anytime" with that said she closed the line and got ready to pick Terra and Beast boy up.
Once Terra heard the line close, she shut her phone and put it back into her pocket and stood up. She looked into a mirror and sighed loudly as a memory of Beast boys attempted suicide ran through her head.
She turned on the tap and sprayed some water on her face to refresh herself. Once she did that she dried herself off and exited the bathroom.
After she left the bathroom, she stole a glance at her lover. He was still soundly asleep. A small smile spread on Terras face, for the first time in several hours as she thought about her plan thoroughly.
She walked up to beast boy and gave him a peck on the cheek, saying "Everythings going to be alright from now on. And I promise that the titans will learn to respect you" with that said, she saw a great big smile spread on Beast boys sleeping form.
She made sure that he was asleep. She stood up and left his room for couple minutes to get her bag and pack up her stuff. Once she did that, she headed back to Beast boys room and packed some of his stuff up.
As Terra finished packing her and Beast boys stuff up, she decided to lie down next to Beast boy until Cheahire arrives at the tower. As she lied down, she sighed contently, wrapping her arm around Beast boys sleeping form. She was happy that they were finally going to leave their once so called home.
As she glanced up at Beast boys face, she noticed the peaceful look on his face. He looked so calm, yet she knew what lurked underneath that mask.
The thought of finally being able to help her lover made her so happy. There was going to be no more bruises or cuts all over the body of her lover. There was going to be no more verbal abuse towards the changeling and if anyone dared to insult or hurt him in the future, she would make sure that they would pay for it.
Cheshire was driving through the tunnel, which lead to the titans tower. She couldn't help, but worry about Terra. They were really close friends and now her friend is in some sort of trouble. As she passed through the tunnel and arrived in front of the large T shaped building, she grabbed her cell phone from her bag and dialled in several numbers and hit the call button.
She was calling Terra to let her know that she had finally arrived at the tower.
As she leaned closer to give Beast boy a loving kiss, her phone started to ring, which made her pull away from him. She groaned in annoyance, as somebody had just ruined her perfect moment.
When she sat up and checked her phone, she saw that the person who was disturbing her was Cheshire. Her previous annoyance quickly forgotten, as she answered the phone.
CHESHIRE: "Hey Terra, I'm outside of the tower now"
TERRA: "Ok I'll be out in a minute"
With that said, she cut the call and got off the bed. She grabbed 2 bags, which she had packed earlier. Before she left the room, she took one last glance at Beast boy and said "Everythings going to be alright from now on" with that she left and took the elevator down to the garage. As she opened the garage door, she saw a dark figure standing in the distance.
She knew who the figure in the dark was.
As the dark figure noticed Terra leaving the tower, she ran up to her and hugged her tightly, which Terra returned.
Moments later Terra pulled away from the hug "I'll be back in a bit. Can you load these bags into the car please" she said pointing towards the 2 bags. Cheshire nodded, without questioning her.
Terra thanked her for help, before she headed back to her lovers room. When she entered his room, she walked up to him and shook him softly "Beast boy wake up"
Beast boy stirred to the sound of his girlfriend waking him up. As he opened his eyes and looked up, he saw Terra looking down at him with a serious look, he wondered if he had done something wrong.
BEAST BOY: "What's wrong" he asked in a concerned tone.
As she started to explain what was going on and what happened, Beast boy pulled out his communicator and set it on the table. He had agreed to leave with her as she made him realise how much the titans must have hated him.
As they left his room and headed towards the elevator, Beast boy grabbed Terras hand in his. As he did that he stole a glance at his girlfriend to see her reaction. All he saw was her blushing slightly. To his surprise Terra entwined her fingers with his and held his hand slightly tighter.
As they left the tower in Cheshires car, they both fell deep in thought. Little did they know was that they were thinking about a same thing, which was revenge. Every second they lived, every breath they took, their hatred towards the titans grew.
They clearly didn't care about Beast boy. After years of torturing him, he and Terra were going to put the titans through the same hell, which they applied on Beast boy. Although the thing that aggravated Beast boy most was how they acted in front of Terra. It almost made Beast boy want to release his Beast within as he kept thinking about these recent events.
As Beast boy, Terra and Cheshire drove away from the tower, they didn't even take a one last glance at the tower. They were filled with too much hate.
As Beast boy took a glance towards Terra, he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. Terra complied by resting her head on his chest and wrapping her arms around his body. Soon after both of them drifted off to sleep.
As Cheshire stole a glance through the rearview mirror, she noticed them falling asleep. She decided not to question them about what was going on. She realised that they needed some time alone. All she could do was wonder 'What happened in that tower'.
If she could have seen his bruises, cuts and scars all around Beast boys body, she would have known, but as it was too dark to see anything, she was left clueless.
If they would have took a last glance at the tower, they would have noticed 4 remaining titans standing at the main room window, looking down at the receding car.
When the car had left the tower, they came to realise that they have been just as bad as Slade towards Beast boy.
As the car left their sight, they headed back into their own rooms, without even saying a single word to each other. They were too ashamed and guilty to even look at each other, so they took an entire day off to get themselves sorted emotionally.
When the alarm did go off in the tower, none of them actually reported to the main room. They refused to come out of their bedrooms as they were in no condition to fight. They were sure that the city could take care of itself for one day.
It wasn't long after that media had picked up on Beast boys and Terras departure. They were constantly calling the tower to get the conformation that was needed. After hours upon hours of calling the tower, Robin eventually answered the phone and confirmed that Terra and Beast boy really had left the tower, but when he was asked for the reasons behind on their departure, her refused to answer the question as it would give the titans a bad look.
After couple of hours of driving Beast boy, Terra and Cheshire had finally arrived at the secret underground bunker, some five hundred miles away from Jump city.
As Cheshire stopped the car, she took a glance at the rear view mirror and saw that they were still asleep. She was happy that Terra had finally found her love, but quickly frowned as she remembered that they had left their home.
She quietly exited the car and opened the boot. She grabbed their luggage and took them in the spare guest room.
After she put the luggage down, she headed back to the car to wake the 2 lovebirds up. When she got to the car, she saw them sleep so peacefully, that it made her feel almost guilty to wake them up.
When she started to wake the pair up, she heard a groan escape from Terras lips.
Terra was the first one to stir from her sleep. At first her vision was really blurry, but her eyes soon managed to focus. Memories of earlier events washed through her as she saw Cheshire trying to wake them both up.
CHESHIRE: "Hey, are you ok" she asked, as she noticed Terra waking up.
TERRA: "Yes, a lot better, now that we aren't with the titans" with that said, she looked around and asked "Where are we"
CHESHIRE: "Our secret bunker, remember"
Terra nodded in response, before Cheshire asked.
CHESHIRE: "Can you tell me what happened"
TERRA: "Yes once we take Beast boy to the spare guest room" Cheshire nodded and helped Terra to get Beast boy in the bedroom.
Once they did that, Cheshire left Terra and headed to the kitchen to make some tea. As she did that she took 2 cups filled with hot tea and headed to the main room.
Terra made sure that Beast boy was ok and that he was comfortable. She gave him a one last peck before she left the bedroom. As she left the bedroom and headed towards the main room, a smile spread on her face as she realised that everything is going to be alright from now on.
Once she entered the main room, she was greeted with a scent of strawberry tea. As she looked around, she saw Cheshire sitting on the couch, with 2 tea cups on the table. For some reason Terra became really nervous as she approached the couch so she could sit down. Once she sat down she sighed loudly as she grabbed her tea cup.
CHESHIRE: "So what happened" she asked, looking at Terra.
She took big sip from her tea before she placed it back on the table. She sighed once again, before she started to explain everything that has been going on.
Cheshire listened to Terra intently as she began to feel anger rising towards the titans. She winced at some of the things that the titans had done to Beast boy. Her blood boiled inside her when she heard what Beast boy had tried to do and how the titans reacted towards Terra when she told them about it.
She came to one conclusion that it was all the titans fault for Terra nearly losing her lover.
She put a comforting hand on Terras shoulder as she broke down in tears.
TERRA: "Do you know how hard it is, to see your lover about to commit suicide" she sobbed resting her forehead in her hands.
CHESHIRE: "It's not your fault Terra. You did the right thing by leaving the titans" she said in a calm soothing tone.
TERRA: "I know, but I'm so worried for Beast boys safety, you know" she said between sobs.
Cheshire wrapped her in a warm hug as she said "Don't worry, nothing will happen to him anymore"
After a while, Terra relaxed and with a final sniff she said "Thanks for the help"
Cheshire smiled and said " anything for my sister. Now why dont you go and get some rest. You deserve it after what happened today"
Terra nodded and said "thanks for the help" and left the main room. She headed back into the guest room and lied down next to Beast boy, wrapping him in a tight protective hug. She soon drifted off and dreamt about a better future for her and Beast boy.
When Cheshire saw Terra leave, she started to think about this whole situation. She felt so angry towards the titans for the pain that they have caused. She felt it to a degree which even surprised her.
One thought crossed her mind. 'They will pay for what they have done. Nobody hurts my friends'
She continued thinking on throughout the night. She was thinking about what to do about this situation.
