DISCLAIMER: I still don't own Teen Titans
Terra POV
I walked down the street, pulling my jacket tighter around me. I was going to the bank to cash the check I had received for my art, and it was windy as hell. I gritted my teeth when I walked past a certain landmark. Titans Tower. The memories of happier days, dark days, and sad days came flooding back. I missed my days as a Titan, but there was no way I could go back now. The Titans were done.
I still remembered what happened that day I found out.
Flashback
I sat down at my foster families table, and started eating my cereal. I had my uniform on, and I had to hurry to get to school. I heard a beeping come from the TV. I saw a picture of Titans Tower flash on it, and quick turned it up.
"Breaking news! Just this morning leader Robin of the Teen Titans released a press statement." The scene cut to Robin, who was standing in front of a podium.
Robin cleared his throat. "Well, I have some news on the Teen Titans future today. Due to irreconcilable differences, the Titans have broken up. We will be going our separate ways. We are sorry for any inconveniences." and with that the scene cut back to the reporter, who started talking about how this would affect Jump City.
My cereal fell out of my mouth and I dropped my spoon on the floor. I got up and ran out of the house. I had to find at least one of the Titans. I grabbed a rock and sped to the tower. I leapt off and ran to the door. I banged on it, only for it to swing open. I cautiously walked inside. It was silent. I checked every room, and I found nothing. I entered my room, and saw that everything was still there.
I walked over to the heart mirror Beast Boy made me, and put it in my school bag. I walked out, and looked around. I had gone in every room except Ravens. I wouldn't go in there though, I wouldn't disrespect her privacy.
I walked out and sat down on the rocks, the same rocks I had spent many nights with Beast Boy by my side. I put my head in my arms and drew my knees up to my chest. They were gone, they were all gone. I let my sobs escape as I realized I had lost my chance of ever again being with people I could have once called my family.
End flashback
I hurried past the tower. After that I went to school, and graduated when I was 17. Now I was 21, and I made art out of rocks and even sketched and painted occasionally. That was how I got my money. I had given up looking for the other Titans, I had searched for two years since school got out. I had only ran into one titan, who I now kept in contact with.
Speaking of which, I was going to visit him tomorrow. I pulled my jacket tighter as a huge gust of wind blew. It kept blowing and getting stronger. I looked up, realizing this wasn't an ordinary wind. I saw something that looked like a green pea pod landing on the hill about a block away from me.
I narrowed my eyes, stuffed my check in a pocket on the inside of my jacket, and summoned a rock. I may not have been a Titan anymore, but that didn't mean I stopped protecting the city. I jumped on it and soared right over to it, summoning more rocks to fight with. My hair was wildly blowing around my face, my hands and eyes glowing yellow.
The pod opened, and out walked someone. The wind died down a bit, and I was able to see who it was. I couldn't believe my eyes, but the proof was right here in front of me. It was Starfire.
I jumped off my rock, and all the others fell to the ground. Starfire stayed where she was, looking around her, breathing deeply. I looked at her. She was different than I remembered, she looked more mature. Never thought I'd see the day Starfire looked mature. She was looking around, and she caught sight of me. Her eyes widened.
"Terra?" She asked, walking towards me. I nodded, and she rushe dover nad grabbed me in a bone-crushing hug. Her voice wasn't the light and airy tone it used to be, now it was not as high pitched, but still slightly higher than a normal voice.
"Hey Starfire." I laughed, hugging her back. She pulled away and looked at me.
"So you do remember." It wasn't a question,it was a statement. I avoided her eyes.
"Yeah. I just couldn't go back, not after what I did to you guys. You have to understand that." I pleaded.
"I know. I just wish you had understood that some of us had forgiven you." She looked me in the eyes. I nodded.
"So,where have you been all this time?" I changed the subject.
"I have been on Tameran. I… couldn't bear being here, knowing we were all broken. Even though I have no idea where anyone is, and nowhere to stay, I had to come back." She sounded so sad.
"Well, you can stay with me! And I know where one person is!" I brightly told her, trying to cheer her up. She immeadiatly brightened.
"Thank you thank you dear friend Terra! Who is it?!" she exclaimed, floating into the air and twirling. She gasped and looked surprised as she did.
I laughed. "Cyborg. I found him while I was looking for Beas- I mean the others." I winced as my chest throbbed just from thinking about him. I wrapped my arms tightly around myself. Starfire's eyes took on a knowing look.
"Do not worry friend Terra. I am sure that between me, you, and Cyborg we can find all our old friends." Starfire's smile became slightly sad, but I didn't blame her.
"Well, how about we get your things and we go to my place." I smiled, and we got her things out of the pod. "First I just have to stop at the bank and we can go." I made a hollow rock, and we put most of her bags in it. She just had a small duffel bag that she insisted on carrying.
So I cashed my check at the bank, and we were walking back when a girl about 8 years old stopped us.
"Are you Terra and Starfire?!" She squealed. We nodded. She gasped and hugged each of us tight. "Are you guys gonna start fighting crime again? My friends won't believe it when I tell them I got to talk to you! Will you take a picture with me?!" she exclaimed, whipping out an iPhone.
"Of course." Starfire and I both replied at the same time. We bent down and smiled next to her as she took the picture. She squealed.
"Thank you so much you guys! Would you also sign my phone case please?" she begged. We shrugged and took her sharpie and signed it.
"Whats your name sweetie?" Starfire asked before she signed. The girl giggled.
"Krissie. I am a huge fan!" She informed us. We finished signing and hugged her one last time, and went on our separate ways.
Starfire looked over at me. "She sure hasn't forgotten about us. I wonder how she knew about us; she had to have only been four when we were heroes."
"No one has forgotten about you guys. In fact, on the anniversary of the split, people gather around the tower and pray you'll come back. They normally even have expeditions around the world to try and find everyone." I looked over to the water.
"Why do you say 'us'. You do know your still a Titan right?" Starfire sounded utterly confused.
I looked at her. "I doubt I'm considered a Titan by everyone. Maybe by you and Beas- a select few, but not by many." I winced once again.
"Terra, you will always be a Titan. We all decided on that once you were trapped in stone." Starfire told me softly.
I smiled slightly. We finally reached my apartment. It was in a good neighborhood, and there was an outdoor and indoor pool.
"Here, I can just move the rock up to my balcony and we can get it when we get there." I told Star, and I did just that. We walked inside, and walked up the stairs to the 7th floor. Dumb elevator was out of order for cleaning. Who needs to clean an elevator?!
I unlocked my apartment, and walked in. Starfire looked around as she walked in. "Nice place." She told me. I muttered thanks and took her bags out of the rock, then moved the rock down to the ground. I showed her the guest bedroom, and she went to bed, saying she was very tired.
I walked in my room, and took off my skinny jeans, paint splattered long sleeve, and jacket. I grabbed my flannel pajama bottoms, and a slightly ratty gray sweatshirt. I wore the sweatshirt every night. Beast Boy gave it to me when he was 14, and I was 15. It was the 6th night I was there. I was so touched. But I felt terrible because I had to do what Slade ordered.
I went in the bathroom, and took a look in the mirror. My blonde hair was side parted, straight, and went to my hips. My eyes were purplish colored, but they did change quite a lot. I was about 5 inches taller than I was before. I had finally grown out of my gangly stage, and filled out my curves. I put my hair in a bun on top of my head, and brushed my teeth.
I turned away and went over to my bed. I lay down, thinking about all that had happened today. I had found Starfire, and she didn't hate me. She was gonna help me find the others. I had gotten my mind off of Beast Boy for almost an hour.
I laid on my side, looking out the window. Somewhere out there, Beast Boy was there. And I would find him.
