Ten minutes have passed and Raven could feel her strength ebbing away from her. Trigon was taking control and she could feel it.

Raven: It's useless. I can't stop him. Not alone. I can still save them though. I could save Earth and Tamaran if I just give him my power. I can't stop him the least I can do is save what I can. I have too…

……………………………………………………….

The words Raven just spoke so helpless, weak, and tired. Terra couldn't stand it.

Terra: No this isn't the Raven I know, the Raven I know isn't like this. GET UP! You can beat him Raven please don't give up.

Terra began banging on the glass and it started to crack. She backed off. She could get in. A plan began forming in her mind.

Terra: I'm sorry Raven but I won't let you betray them.

……………………………………………………………

The tears in Raven's eyes had started to dry as she began to accept her fate.

Raven: Not too long now then I will give him what he wants. At least I can do this.

Terra: So this is what's become of the great Raven? Pathetic.

That voice it couldn't be. There was no way.

Terra: Look who the traitor is now. Ready to sell off the universe and everything the Titans stand for. You make me look like a girl scout.

Rage. It was the only thing that could describe what she was feeling. Terra, the betrayer, the one who tried to kill the Titans, Terra the one who caused so much suffering was taking the moral high ground! How dare she!!

Raven: How dare you judge me! How dare you!

In that instant Raven charged Terra claws forming around her hand from her powers forming. Terra had trained under Slade long enough to read her moves and easily sidesteps Raven's attack.

Terra: Is that all you got? Poor little Raven has daddy issues. Cowed like a helpless child sobbing and begging. Raven I expected much better.

Raven was seething. Her powers began to erupt and out and shot a clawed hand from her body that grabbed Terra by the throat. Terra grasped the black claws as they dug into her neck slowly tightening.

Raven: You think you're better than me. I don't have a choice, I can't fight Trigon I can't stop him! I unlike you am trying to save all that I can.

Struggling Terra was still able to speak and struggled as she spoke.

Terra: You think I don't know. When I betrayed the Titans I thought "Slade will take them all anyway nothing could stop him." Still I tried to save Beastboy I thought that was the least I could do. Save what I can.

Tears began flowing down her eyes as she struggled to take gasps of air as the grip tightened.

Terra: It was a LIE! gasp Giving up is never an option. gasp It's…..just….another ...betrayal…

Terra could feel herself losing conciseness. For a moment she though Raven was going to kill her. Then the grip lessened and she fell she began gasping for air. Raven came over to her and began healing Terra's wounds. They may be astral wounds in her mind but she could still heal them.

Raven: You're right Terra. I hate to admit it but you're right. Thank you.

Raven looked at the Geomancer as she took gasps of air. Raven could see what Terra was trying to do and seeing the shape Terra was in realized the risk Terra took in doing this. Terra looked up at the gray skinned girl smiling a weak smile.

Terra: I see your powers are working again.

Raven stopped suddenly realizing that her powers were working again despite the fact she had been throttling Terra with them she never noticed.

Terra: Sorry I had to do that. I knew you wouldn't take me seriously unless you wanted to kill me. I know anger isn't exactly your favorite emotion but it's the only emotion you had about me.

Terra looked down a hint of guilt upon her face.

Truth is Raven even though we may have been similar in this betrayal what I did after is something you would never do. The hate I had, the pain I caused, that was for me and me only even now you are thinking of others while I blamed the world.

Terra: Never forget who you are Raven. I don't care how powerful Big Red there was I know your stronger.

Raven looked at the young earth-shifter. Raven had never truly forgiven Terra considering her a villain for as long as she could remember. Her sacrifice to the city seemed a desperate act for a hopeless girl. Still her opinion had started to change ever since facing her father and giving in doing the same thing Terra did saving a world she helped destroy. Still she had doubts and distrusts about Terra and was unsure if she would ever welcome the geomancer back but now. Now Terra had put her life at risk to absolutely no benefit to herself.

Raven: Thank you Terra. I really needed that.
