Okay, so for those who actually might be ineterested in this, here's part 1 of chapter 1, which was supposed to be out 3 weeks ago but my internet failed. So anyways, here it is. Please forgive my bad sentance stuctures and writing skills...

-------------------

They arrived at the in about ten minutes, and by the looks of it, it had been attacked plenty of times before. The workers were cowering behind the boxes of diamonds, and as the masked people obviously working for Slade attacked them, they cursed and swore as all their hard work got destroyed once again.

'Hey, tell Slade that his attack patterns are getting old,' Sparky yelled from the entrance, and the minions charged at the team and Terrance. They split up and attacked their own little batch, and as Terrance rose into the air on another rock, he decided to take the batch farthest away from the girls. Actually wanting to see the team in action, Terrance knew that he'd have to wait for the next combat practice as the figures jumped at him. Grabbing one the shoulder and lifting it up easily, he swung it around, smacking the others. As they broke, he realized that all of Slade's henchmen were robots, and he laughed.

'Time to have some fun,' he muttered, and broke large rocks until they were spiked and smashed and stabbed away, enjoying every minute of it. Finding that he could have a little break, he looked over at Beast Babe, who had turned into a hawk, then, after flying up pretty high, turned into a brontosaurus, crushing many robots, but more attacked her as they forced her to back up. Forgetting that there was still plenty of robots there, one zapped his rock with a hand laser and he fell. Landing swiftly on his feet, he ran over to help Beast Babe. Using his powers to cause several rocks to fall on the robots, he saw Gypsie run by, and the swish of her long and shiny blonde hair. He saw his sister, and yellow filled his eyes. 'No,' he whispered, and fell to the ground, plenty of large rocks falling down with him. Watching in fear as the rocks came down, he noticed that Beast Babe was standing right underneath it all. Sure, he got a bunch of robots, but what about her? He got to his feet and tried to stop the rocks but it was too late. 'BEAST BABE!' he screamed, and everything stopped. He glared at the surviving robots as they inched towards him, and with a shout of fury, another large batch of rocks come down on them, crushing them flat. 'Beast Babe,' he whispered, then turned and ran.

On the other side of the collapse, the girls were lifting rocks and trying to get their friend out; the robots had been defeated. As two rocks were thrown away, the biggest one lifted into the air to show Beast Babe, morphed as Big Foot, lifting it up and out of the way. She changed back and rubbed her head.

'You okay?' Sparky asked, and she nodded, but not after looking around frantically for her friend.

'Where's Terrance?' she asked worriedly, and her friends shrugged. 'Oh shit.' More robots came into the room and began firing off their hand lasers, and the team sprang into action again, except for Beast Babe, who turned into a groundhog and began tunneling after Terrance.

Finally stopping to breathe, Terrance grabbed the sides of his head and fell to the ground, resting against a wall.

'Oh, why does everything I see remind me of her?' he said angrily, and closed his eyes. He had to get back, to check on Beast Babe, but the sound of running footsteps broke his thoughts. He looked towards the end of the tunnel to see someone run by – the tunnel's end was in the shape of a T. Recognizing the figure, Terrance gripped the pole supporting the wall and frowned. 'Slade,' he growled, and ran after the villain. Running as fast as he could to catch up with the masked man, Terrance stopped and used his powers to cause a cave-in right in front of Slade. 'Looks like I've got you,' he smirked, and Slade turned around. Jumping forward and in front of the boy, he tripped him and Terrance fell to the floor and onto his side.

'Actually Terrance,' Slade began as he threw up a sphere-like bomb with tiny mechanical legs that clung to the roof. 'I've got you, just like I did your sister.' The bomb exploded, blocking off the other exit, and the emergency lights went on in the dark room.

'What are you talking about?' Terrance asked angrily as he got up, and Slade smiled from behind his mask. 'You never knew my sister.'

'Actually boy, I did.' Slade pulled out his bostaff and swung it at Terrance, who jumped to the side. 'I knew little Terra quite well.'

'Shut up!' Terrance said as his sister's name was mentioned, and he tried not to think of her. 'Terra would never hang out with the likes of you!' he yelled as his fists glowed with his powers, and the rocks from the wall behind him shot at Slade, who destroyed them with his staff.

'That will do you no good; your sister tried the same thing.' Slade said calmly, and Terrance yelled out angrily.

'Stop it!' He formed a large rock into a spike and threw it at him, but missed.

'She tried that too.'

'No!' Running at the villain, he tried to him, only to have him grab his wrist and force him against the wall. 'Let go of me you sonofabitch,' he swore angrily, and Slade hit him. Hard. Clutching his gut, Terrance groaned and glared at the man. Using his free hand to summon a large rock, he made it fly towards Slade, but he merely turned around and jumped around, leaving Terrance open to him own attack. Falling to the ground, the rock falling beside him, Terrance groaned and clutched his hurting wrist and tried to clear his thoughts; he didn't want to think about Terra.

'Don't try and move; movement only makes it worse,' Slade snickered, and Terrance got to his feet, glaring angrily at the evil man. His eyes started to turn yellow but he blinked it away as Slade spoke. 'Yes, what a spitting male image of little Terra you are; even the lack of control runs in the family. But it doesn't have to be this way. You can come with me, just as Terra did, and I can help you with your problem. I can help you forget her, and regain control.' Terrance stopped frowning for a moment to process this information. Terra had gone with him…

'No. Terra would never go with you,' he whispered, and Slade shook his head.

'She did. Just like you will.'

'You don't know anything about us,' Terrance sneered, and Slade opened up his fist. A long silver chain down as he held the oval silver locket in his hand.

'Actually, I know everything about you and your sister. When I first offered my help, she refused, but in the end she agreed.' Terrance thought about her for a second, and ran at the villain in anger about his words, but Slade grabbed his already sore wrist and pushed him back into the wall. Groaning in pain, Terrance forced his eyes open and looked at his foe, his hair slipping loose from behind his left ear. 'She was my apprentice. She committed terrible crimes, and even attempted to destroy the Teen Titans, but the Beast Boy had managed to convince her that she didn't have to listen to me anymore, and it was I who had been annihilated, but I got a second chance, and so can you. If you came with me, then I can help you control your memories, and teach you to shine.' Terrance tried to look away, his hair now completely free on the left side, and Slade let go of his wrist, which he nursed for a moment before he slung the locked gently around the poor boy's neck. Terrance then looked up, the hair on the right side beginning to slip free. 'But all you have to do for me in return is get rid of the Titans North.'

'Never. They're my friends, and I would never destroy my friends,' Terrance snarled, his almost good thoughts about Slade vanishing with this offer.

'You don't need any friends, especially that Beast Babe. She's nothing but a big mouth. Eventually, she'll betray you, just like Beast Boy betrayed Terra. She'll tell them your little secret, and betray you.'

'Never. She's too nice. I trust her.' Terrance was getting angrier with every word Slade was saying.

'Terra trusted Beast Boy, but he told Robin her secret, just like Beast Babe'll tell her friends.'

She promised she would never tell.' Terrance clenched his fists.

'Oh but she will. She'll tell them…'

'Shut up! Just shut the hell up! Just go, and me the fuck alone!' Terrance yelled angrily, and dust and rocks swirled around him. Suddenly, Terra flashed threw his mind and he fell to the ground. 'No, don't think of her, don't think of her…' he said worriedly, and Slade laughed.

'You'll never gain control over your powers unless you come with me. I'll be waiting for you, and just like Terra, you'll agree in the end.' A bunch of rocks fell from the pileup, and Slade ran, leaving Terrance alone in the whirlwind of dust and rocks as he blankly faced the ceiling and let out a cry of pain. He then lifted into the air, his completely free hair swishing from this way to that, his eyes turning yellow.

Just then, Beast Babe broke through the ground and morphed back into herself, staring in fear at Terrance as he lifted his knees up to his chin and gripped his arms in a self-hug, his gloved fingers bruising the skin.

'Terrance!' she screamed, and the wind blew her off the ground. Scared to death, Beast Babe desperately reached for her troubled friend for if she didn't stop soon she would crash into the ceiling. Grabbing onto his wrist in fright as she passed, he stared at her before blinking away the yellow and gaining control. 'Terrance!' she said again, and, realizing how much danger she was in, he grabbed her hand.

'Beast Babe, you're alive?' he asked, and then collapsed into her arms, the visions of her crushed body littering his mind before Terra came back to haunt them. Tears were streaming down their cheeks; Beast Babe was just plain terrified and Terrance had thought too much of how he had let Terra just slip away like that.

The winds dying down as Beast Babe wrapped her arms around his neck, they floated back to the ground were they sat crying softly.

'You're not going to tell them about Terra, are you?' he asked after a second of confused thought, and she shook her head several times.

'No. I would never do anything to hurt you,' she whispered, and he pulled her into his lap. 'Never. Never…'

-------------------

Everyone was back at the tower. The fight had been won, but Slade had gotten away. His words still rang in Terrance's mind as he packed up the things the girls had given to him. As he finished off by packing his last shirt, he headed for the door to find everyone standing there.

'Well girls, it's been fun and all, but I really think that…' Terrance began, but was cut off as the door opened and he crashed into a white force field. Nearly falling over, he looked over at Crow, who was smiling faintly. 'Okay, what the hell is goin' on?' he asked with a smile, and Crow put the field down.

'Well…' Sparky began.

'We talked it over for like an hour or so, and…' Gypsie continued.

'We – but mostly I – wish for you to stay here with me! I mean, us, my still girlfriendless friend!' Moonfire finished, and the others rolled their eyes.

'Yeah, well, I think you're gunna need one of these,' Sparky said, and handed Terrance a Titans' communicator.

'Really? You want me to be one of you guys?' he asked, and Beast Babe smiled.

'Yeah. I know that whenever you think of your sister, you lose control, and I believe that we can help…' Sparky started with a smile, and Terrance dropped the gadget, his hands turning to fists.

'You told her?' he demanded to Beast Babe, who backed away a little and shook her head several times.

'No, I said I wouldn't!' she said worriedly, and he pushed her down.

'You bitch! You said you wouldn't! You lied right to my face! You lied!' he yelled, and ran out of the tower as fast as he could. Tears running down her face, Beast Babe got up and ran after him.

'Terrance, no!' she screamed, but it was too late; he was gone.

Standing on the rocky shore of their island, Beast Babe noticed the silver locket on the ground picked it up. She opened it to find two pictures inside: one of Terrance, and one of Terra when they were younger. Putting the locket around her neck, her pointed ears dropping, Beast Babe cried as Sparky came up behind her.

'I just figured it out. He gave a lot of signals to it, especially when he wrote Terra everywhere and stuff,' she said, and Beast Babe sighed sadly.

'I never even got to say good bye,' she whispered, and picked up a small stone. She skipped it, and to her sad surprise, it skipped a great way before sinking to the lake's bottom, dragging all of her happiness with it.

Miles away, Slade watched as Terrance ran away, and he grinned.

'Run all you like, but no matter what you do, or no matter how far you run, just like your sister, every step you take, brings you closer to me.'
