'I'm alive, I'm standing with Beast Boy in a cave. I can feel the warmth of his palm, I can smell him.'
Terra was still a bit dazed, her mind reeling with the sudden rush of events; it hadn't been in any use since she last saw the Titans, how long ago was that? She remembered feeling terrified before she finally let all her feelings go into her last attack, the one that she hoped saved Jump city. She squeezed her friend's hand, in need of some reassurance. Starfire's bright green light shone brighter as they got closer and she could hear Cyborg's metal feet clanking against the cave floors. The blonde girl began to tremble.
'I can't do this, not after all I've done.'
"Terra it'll be ok." Beast Boy whispered in her ear, she shivered and goose bumps rose on her arms, she used her blonde hair as a shield from their faces and the locks covered her pale blue eyes. Her free hand fiddled with the cloth that was deemed as her clothing for now.
"Yo BB where are you?" Cyborg hollered.
"In here guys!" Beast Boy shouted back excitedly, Terra still trembled and Beast Boy leaned into her a little to support her form.
"Beast Boy my friend are you-" Starfire gasped and her light went out for a moment as she gaped in shock, she quickly regained the energy and ran full speed to her old friend.
"TERRA! TERRA IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!" Starfire squealed with joy, her Tamaranian strength catching Terra in a death hug, Terra gasped for breath and Beast Boy could have sworn he saw a piece of Terra's soul trying to escape from her mouth.
"Terra . . wha-" Robin was now staring speechless and then a grin spread across his features and Cyborg almost dropped the pizza that he brought.
"Star. . . fire. . . . not . . . breathing!" Terra grunted and Starfire released her with an embarrassed apology, Robin was beside her in an instant and so was Cyborg both grinning happily.
"Terra I'm glad you're ok!" Robin said with pure delight, Terra gave him a timid smile in return, thankful his delight was not false. Cyborg ruffled her already messy hair.
"Nice to see you, hungry?" He held out the pizza in front of her and her mouth watered instantly, she had gone so long without food, her senses were now roaring with the demand of the delicacy in front of her and she nodded taking a piece and biting into it, it scorched her tongue but she didn't care, it was food and that was all that mattered. But in the midst of her eating she realized that one was missing.
Raven.
She swallowed the last bite of her slice and gulped it down, she found it hard once she began to remember the fight they had in the oil, Raven's sudden rage burning itself into Terra's memory as it showed her how truly angry the dark teen could get. Her eyes flickered around for the hooded Titan and she was nowhere to be seen.
"Raven?" Robin asked following Terra's gesture not too long afterwards, he called her name a few times and then stopped and picked up the clothes Raven had carried.
"She must have left." Cyborg concluded and terra felt her stomach twist.
She wasn't surprised but after the warm welcoming from the other Titans she kind of hoped Raven would at least give her a 'hi'. But after her betrayal Raven had hated her, she could see it in her violet irises just before she turned to stone.
"We'll check on her soon enough, here Terra, your old clothes and then you can sit and eat." Robin said and set her clothes down in front of her.
Just then the communicator began to beep and Robin answered quickly.
"Raven what's the trouble?"
"Killer moth, he released a swarm of his experiments in the city, that's why I'm not there right now."
"We're on our way, just stall as long as you can." Robin commanded then shut his communicator, he looked at Terra apologetically and she shook her head with understanding, they were the Teen Titans, stuff liked this happened all the time.
"Beast Boy, you can take Terra home, the rest of us will handle Killer Moth." Beast Boy nodded and was already standing close to the blond, the 3 of them dashed out of the cave and left the 2 alone once more.
"Sooooo, you must be wanting a long hot shower and some drinks with the pizza huh?"
Terra, who was in a blank state, reawakened from it and nodded, her lips turned into a smile at the thought of a shower, she felt dirty and grimy. As for the food she wanted to swallow the pie whole.
"Come on Terra . . . Let's go home." The green young man's hand was outstretched, awaiting for her to take it and without any hesitation they did and they turned for the cave entrance.
Home.
She hadn't heard that term for a while either, she closed her eyes, letting Beast Boy guide her, and remembered her various treks before she met the Titans. Her search for a home, a place where she belonged, where people would love her and want her near; but it was always thrown away every time she lost control of her power and caused devastation.
Tears budded in her eyes and one was able to leak over her bottom lid down to her chin and she smiled joyfully at the thought of her destination.
Home.
She was going home.
