Title: Rain
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans or the rain or deserts
Pairing:None
Other Notes: I'd say this takes place pre Titan Rising. Apprentice!Terra
It's raining out. Correction, it's pouring out. Cats and dogs. Typhooning. Terra considers making a break for it to build an ark. Getting two of any animal she can find and escaping; however, this might mean that she'll need to find another human (Humans are animals too, you know). Her only option, though, is the man standing in front of her, and right now that's a less than desirable choice.
Training out in the desert would've been a good idea, but when it rains in a desert, it floods. And Terra hate hate hate hates the rain. It makes the dirt mud and the rocks slick. It makes her hair frizz later, and it makes her freezing cold. It makes her want to scream. It makes her cry, or at least look like she's crying.
Right now her hair is laying in bunchy strands in front of her eyes, but it won't stay back behind her ears, so she lets it go. It wouldn't effect her vision either way, the rain is so thick. She can barely make out Slade's figure only ten feet away.
She stands up straight and tries to keep herself from shivering. A thought pops into her head to use some rocks for cover, but Terra can't see any from where she is now. She shudders, and clenches her mouth shut, but her teeth clack against each other anyway. She closes her eyes and runs her fingers through her tangled hair. When she looks up again, she tries to focus on Slade, but he isn't standing in front of her anymore. For a brief moment, she believes that she's free to leave. This idea is slammed out of her head by the bo staff connecting with her hip.
Her body jerks to the right, twisting away from the blow. She turns so that she'll land on her back, so that she's facing the rain. She closes her eyes again, and lets herself fall, fall, fall...
Before she gets up, she lets the mud soak through her hair. A quick moment of peace.
