Beast Boy woke up to a bright and beautiful day. It had been four days since the tragic events that had occurred on Tamaran, and with the Uranians well on their way to earth, the titans had to find a way to stop them before they arrived. Beast Boy scratched his head and looked outside, finally realizing he slept in. "Oh jeez!" Beast Boy leaped up from his bed and quickly put on his uniform and rushed out to the common room to meet the other titans. "Dudes, sorry! I know I totally slept—" He paused. He was surprised to see that no one was working to find a way to stop the Uranians. "Wait. Is today—"

"Yup." Robin spoke. "I mean, we can't work all day and night on this, right? It's important to break, you know?"

The titans were working hard to stop the Uranians, but every two days they'd take a break.

"Phew, that's a relief." Beast Boy looked outside and saw the bright blue glimmering ocean and the city in the distance. "Cool. Well uh, if you don't mind, I think I'll do my break in the city." He told the titans even though none of them were listening to him. He finished getting ready and headed out. He morphed into a hawk and flew across the ocean to the city. He landed and morphed back into his normal form. He landed in the park, and took in the lush, green environment, seeing all the people around him having a good time. He breathed in and exhaled. "Ah! It feels like forever since I've been here!"

Beast Boy spent his day around the park, and then saw a movie by himself, and near the end of the day he watched a baseball game. It was well into the evening when he stopped by a restaurant for food. It was the same restaurant where he took Terra on the night she betrayed the titans. He then felt upset by all of that again. Terra was on his mind again, and this time he just couldn't shake it off. He hadn't seen her since they fought that white monster in the construction site. That was six months ago.

The man at the counter was one person away from Beast Boy. "What can I get for you ma'am?" He asked the girl next to Beast Boy.

"I'll have your best pie." The girl replied.

"And for you?" The man asked Beast Boy.

"I'll have what she's having." Beast Boy responded and the man went to go get the pies. When him and Terra came to this place, they had pie. So it felt like a nice way of remembering the memories they had while it lasted. Beast Boy turned to see who the girl was, and nearly fell off his chair when he saw who it was. "T-Terra?"

Terra turned and was surprised to see Beast Boy as well. "Beast Boy!"

"Holy cow! You still remember me!" Beast Boy spoke excitedly.

"How could I forget! I—" By then almost everyone in the restaurant was staring at the two teens. "Beast Boy, c'mon, let's do this somewhere else." Terra told him. She took his hand, giving Beast Boy a somewhat of a love-struck feeling again. They headed outside and kept walking until there were less and less people around them in the streets. "Ho boy, I didn't think we'd meet again." Terra finally stopped walking.

"Me either." Beast Boy replied. The two stood in silence for a moment. "Wait, so what were you doing there?"

"Oh. Well, I kinda missed hanging out with the titans, and I missed hanging out with you. That place. That was the place where we had food. It was the night I…"

"Betrayed us." Beast Boy finished.

"Oh Beast Boy… going with Slade was the worse."

"So… you do remember! This is awesome!"

"It is?" Terra asked.

"Of course it is! I thought Slade must've done something with your memories!"

"Slade? Why would Slade do something? He burned in that volcano."

"Haha, yeah, it's a long story. I'll explain it all later." He stared at her. "Wait, the last time we saw each other… why did you pretend to forget that you were a titan?"

Terra stared at the concrete sidewalk. "Beast Boy, I felt super sorry that I hurt you and the other titans. When I was freed from stone, it felt like a good time to put my past life behind me now that the 'teen titan' part of my life was over. Remembering my life before I was put in stone, it made me feel so sorry that words couldn't describe. So I started a normal life again. I returned home, went back to school, and well, you know the rest."

"Well, if the teen titan part of your life is over, do you think we could… still be friends?" Beast Boy asked her.

Terra smiled. "That'd be great."

They spent the remainder of the day catching up. Beast Boy told them all about how they defeated lots of bad guys, and all the other adventures the titans have had. They now sat outside of the tower on the rocks, laughing.

"And the whole cafeteria was a mess! It took those twelfth graders almost two days to clean up the whole thing!" Terra told Beast Boy the stories she had at school, and Beast Boy had laughed.

He stared at her. She was still as beautiful as ever. He felt like he was falling in love with her all over again. He smiled and lowered his head slightly. "Terra? Do you remember when we were in love?"

"Of course I do." Terra lowered her voice. "I think about it all the time. What about you?"

"I do too." Beast Boy looked out onto the glimmering moonlit water. "Terra?"

"Yes Beast Boy?"

"Do you… do you think we could… start a relationship again?" Beast Boy had finally asked.

Terra didn't respond right away. She sighed. "Beast Boy… I don't know what to say. But you're a really good guy, and any girl would be super happy to have you as a—"

Beast Boy held her hands into his. "Terra, it's okay. I get it." He held back tears. "It was fun while it lasted, and I'll never forget the time we shared together."

"Um, Beast Boy? Would you be okay if… if we kissed? Just one last time."

"I wouldn't mind it at all." Beast Boy smiled. They came close, and shared one last, final kiss with each other. Once they finally

broke the kiss, they stared into each other's eyes. They started to laugh. It felt good to finally catch up… in more ways than one.

"Actually Terra… I think I got a new crush."

"Oh my gosh, really?" Terra spoke. "Who is it?"

"Well… I think you two already know each other." Beast Boy smiled and whispered who his crush was in her ear. Terra's eyes widened.

"Wow. Now that's something I didn't expect." Terra giggled. "So… what do you like about her?"

"Everything. She's very powerful, and she's super mysterious, but to be honest, that makes me want to know more about her. Her dark purple eyes are like the galaxy and the stars, and she's very, very beautiful."

"Aw Beast Boy, that's so cute!" Terra told him.

"Yeah, I plan to tell her soon. Hopefully she likes me back."

"Well, you've known each other for a long time now, right? There's no doubt there's something there."

"I hope you're right."

"Oh come ON!" A cry came from inside the tower.

"Was that Cyborg?" Terra asked Beast Boy.

"Yeah, he's been trying to fix the computer for the tower almost all afternoon, but for some reason he can't find out what's wrong, which is weird because he's basically our hacker." Beast Boy told her.

"Huh. Maybe I could try."

"Really?"

Beast Boy and Terra went inside the tower. They stopped outside the doors of the common room. "Oh man, this is gonna be a little weird, isn't it?"

"Eh, I don't think it'll be too bad. In the end you had good intentions, right? Plus, you did save all of us from that volcano." They really did miss you Terra, and I think they'll be super happy to know that you're doing okay."

Terra smiled. "Haha, okay."

The doors to the common room opened, and nobody turned around right away, so Beast Boy had to announce his arrival. "Hey guys? Um, you'll never guess who I ran into today."

Terra made herself visible. "Uh, hey guys."

Cyborg was the first to turn around. His eyes widened when he saw Terra. "Oh man, I don't believe it."

The other titans turned. "Terra!" Starfire said happily as she went over to her and the other titans followed, crowding around her.

"We were so worried." Raven told her.

"How did you even escape?" Robin asked her.

"It's a long story… actually guys, I'm sorry about what I did—"

"That's in the past Terra! We're cool now." Cyborg explained.

"Oh, we are?" Terra asked.

"Yeah, we're cool." Raven spoke in a low voice but smiled.

"This is a much different response than I thought I'd get." Terra told them and the titans laughed.

"So, how long have you been out?" Starfire asked her.

"A year, I think?" Terra recalled.

"So, Slade didn't have anything to do with it?" Robin asked.

"No. I haven't seen him since I turned into stone. So, he's alive, huh? Mind telling me how he came back?"

The titans turned to Raven. She sighed. "With pleasure." She told Terra all about her father Trigon, how him and Slade teamed up, and how the titans defeated Trigon and how Slade ended up getting away after all of that.

"Wow. That's… a lot to handle, even for you guys."

"Tell me about it. Trigon was one of the toughest bad guys we've had to deal with." Beast Boy hung over the couch.

"Oh also, you guys went to Tokyo?"

"You heard?" Cyborg asked.

"It was all over television! Those attacks were brutal, and everyone was talking about the Japanese government and their agents and, Robin! You got put in jail?" Terra asked. "That's crazy!"

"I know right!"

"Ugh, that guy was a jerk. I'm thinking he's gonna be faced with a much longer punishment than you had." Terra then remembered something else. "Also…" She pulled out her phone. "The ceremony of you guys receiving those medals was broadcasted all over the world too. Naturally I tuned in, although I couldn't help but notice that two of you were getting close?" Terra smirked at Robin and Starfire. "Is it true? Are you two really dating now?"

"You better believe it!" Beast Boy chimed in.

"Well finally! It was so obvious I mean, I know that I didn't stick around for long but like, it was super obvious that there was more to the relationship than just mutual feelings." Terra told them. "So, has anything else been happening?"

"Just a few harmless bad guys here and there." Robin told her. "We haven't had anything super serious in months until… uh… Starfire?"

Starfire looked at Terra and turned to her. "Terra, there is something you need to know." Starfire explained what had happened to them within the past few days, and what had happened on Tamaran, and what they were going to do about it.

"Oh gosh, that's awful. I'm so sorry Starfire."

"It is quite alright. Besides, we have a plan of how we will take them down."

"A plan?"

"More or less." Cyborg told Terra. "Or, some idea, at least. I was going to find information on what this alien race even is but," Cyborg went up and stood next to the titans' tower computer. "something's up with the computer."

"Oh yeah, that's kind of the reason why I came up here." Terra made her way to the computer and sat down in the chair. "I thought I could help, although, it has been quite a while since I dealt with something this big."

"Dealt with?" said a confused Beast Boy.

Terra smiled and turned her head a little to see the other titans were right up behind her. It feels like she had never left, and it felt nice. "Well…," she began. "my studies in school have been really paying off, and apparently, I'm one of the best in the whole state. I don't know how and when I was able to learn all about this stuff, but I guess I just missed you guys, ya know?"

"Come again?" Beast Boy still said confused.

"Oh yeah! I hope you don't mind but, when I went back to living a normal life and I had to start school again, I kinda may have taken courses that reminded me of you all."

"Oh, Terra!" Starfire beamed.

Terra couldn't help but let out her bubbly little laugh. "I have computer skills and programming, studies of space and life beyond our universe, zoology classes, meditation and self-defense classes." Terra told them, lightly blushing. "I think you can put two and two together."

"Well I think that's amazing." Robin told her.

"Thanks! And I'm actually getting a lot more recognition for my extra classes and skills than I thought. My mom was able to pull a few strings at work, and since she works in one of the departments at the CIA…"

"Woah, woah, back up!" Beast Boy interrupted. "Are you saying that…?"

Terra nearly squealed at the anticipation in telling her friends. "Part-time!"

All the titans were shocked and happy for her.

"Well alright!" Cyborg exclaimed. "Glad to hear my girl's got her life ahead of her!" He ruffled her bright blonde hair, causing her to laugh.

"And that's exactly why I came up here, Cyborg!" Terra spoke, still slightly excited. "I thought I could have a look?"

"Knock yourself out!" Cyborg told her. "Believe me, I've tried everything I know."

"Seriously, Terra," Beast Boy whispered to her. "He's been at it for a while now."

Terra chuckled as she tried to figure out what was wrong with the huge computer. "Hm? What's this?" She pressed a single key, and a bunch of numbers in bright green came up on the big screen. "Oh geez, this is big."

"What's happening?" Beast Boy asked. "All I see is a bunch of zeros and ones."

"Exactly." Terra said. "I don't know how, but all the files on the computer have been encrypted, and it's super hard to do much of anything without making the virus worse."

Cyborg softly winced hearing that something this bad had happened to his computer.

"Can you fix it?" Robin asked.

"To be honest, I've fixed virus infected computers before, but this is definitely something else. I'll have to try though. Let's hope all those boring classes paid off…" Terra began to rake her brain and tried to remember what her professor had taught her about virus infected computers that were this bad. She pondered on this, not wanting to make the computer already worse than it had looked. "Alright, what if I tried this…?"

Terra first found a way to get those big bright ever-changing binary numbers off the screen. She felt a little more at ease, but the virus was still somewhere in the computer. With a couple more minute and a few smart computer tricks, Terra finally exhaled and leaned back into the spinney chair. "I think that did it… but I think we should restart it just to be sure it's all clear."

"Sounds good to me." Cyborg agreed and proceeded to restart the tower computer. They waited for a few more moments before the computer had returned to the normal home screen. "Do you think?"

"I don't know, try opening something." Terra told him.

Cyborg did just that, and the two looked up at the screen, hoping the virus was gone for sure this time.

Everything had seemed to be normal.

"Terra… I-I think you fixed it." Cyborg said in disbelief.

Terra peered through her fingers. "I… really? I did it?"

"Heck yeah you did! I can't believe it, not even I could figure it out!"

"Aw, well I'm glad I could help. So, what were you guys even going to do on this?" Terra asked.

"Find information on the Uranians who turned Tamaran into space dust." Beast Boy said carefree.

"And… how's that turning out?"

"Not very well." Starfire told her. "Knowing what one looks like would be a big help, but none of us have ever seen one, not even I have seen what one looks like."

"Wow."

"Hey Star, didn't you mention that you found something about them in one of your books?" Cyborg asked.

"Yes, but it was quite vague."

"Anything would be helpful right now, can you remember anything it said?" Beast Boy asked her.

"Well, they're supposed to be one of the most dangerous races the galaxy has ever known, and, I think they're supposed to be

tall, and function almost like a metal bot."

Beast Boy slumped further into the couch. "I still got nothing." He almost groaned.

Terra thought to herself for a moment. She then suddenly thought of something that had even surprised herself. She grabbed

Beast Boy's shoulders, slightly surprising him. "Beast Boy, remember when you visited me and wanted me back as a titan all those months ago?"

"Uh, maybe?"

"You then ran off because you were called to help on a mission. What was it?"

"If I can remember, we had to fight this weird looking monster. I think I would've remembered if we caught it."

"So… you never found it."

"Well, I managed to take a picture of it before it flew off."

"Oh my gosh, really?" Terra said surprised.

"Exactly how long have you been doing that for?" Cyborg asked.

"I take pictures of all the villains we fight. Y'know, just in case we need them for later. I've been doing it ever since we first started fighting Slade."

"Beast Boy, that's actually genius." Robin was shook.

Beast Boy went through the gallery of photos he kept on his communicator and eventually found the photo that Terra was talking about. "This one?" He showed her. "Yeah, it's coming back to me."

"Yeah, just hold that thought." Terra hopped back onto the computer and began searching for something. After what had seemed like 10 minutes, she finally sighed. "Finally." She turned to the titans. "Just tapped into the world's best database about all living creatures in space. It was made by this guy a long time ago. Some say he locked himself away for fifteen years up in space just to get all the accurate information."

The titans went wide eyed once again. Terra had become so knowledgeable within the past year it was unbelievable. "Can I see that photo again?" She asked Beast Boy. He showed it to her, and Terra zoomed in and eyed the photo in an odd way. "Hm, okay. I think I can find it."

Terra started up again and Cyborg appeared next to her. "So what exactly is it that you're doing?" He asked her.

"Hoping to find a Uranian for you guys." She entered in the information she saw from the photo on Beast Boy's communicator, and pressed enter, hoping the results would generate the thing she wanted to see. She got her wish, the information had matched up with a Uranian's attributes and physical qualities. Then it hit her. "Oh geez…"

"What is it?" Robin asked.

"Well, remember when you guys fought that thing months ago and it got away? Turns out, that was one of the Uranians."

Everyone was shocked. "But… if that was one of the Uranians, how did they find Tamaran, and why did they destroy it?" Starfire asked.

"…Because it scanned us."

"What do you mean?" Beast Boy spoke up once again.

"I'm remembering it all now, too. Don't you remember?" Robin told the titans. "Before it flew off, it scanned us without all of us knowing, and by the time we did, it took off. It must have recognized that Starfire wasn't from earth…"

"So it probably alerted others and destroyed Tamaran." Starfire finished.

"I can't believe this." Robin spoke in a low voice, almost in a whisper.

"Neither can I…" Starfire spoke softly as her gaze moved downwards, looking at the ground.

As if on que, the door to the common room behind them opened, and Solace came out from it. "Princess? Your sister's here to see you."

Everyone turned and they saw Blackfire standing there. Starfire had never felt so relieved to see her. She was the only family she had seen in a while, and she had really needed family right now. She got up to hug her sister, being slightly surprised when Blackfire had hugged her back. "Sister, I have missed you."

"Is it true?" Blackfire asked. "Did the Uranians really attack?"

"Yes."

"And Galfore… is he really…?"

Starfire nodded, almost feeling sad about the whole thing all over again. Blackfire felt bad for her. She grabbed her sister's hands.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I need you to go back to Tamaran and be the temporary Grand Ruler until the Uranians are taken care of."

"Are… are you sure? Don't you remember what I—"

"Of course I do, but Tamaran needs you right now. There are only a few remaining survivors hiding underground, but I need you to get to them as quickly as possible without getting caught. It will be chaotic without someone in charge."

"And you?" Blackfire asked. "What will you do?"

"I have to stay here and stop the Uranians." Starfire told her. "They're going to come to earth, and I can't let them destroy this too."

Blackfire looked around the room and at the other titans. "Your position on this planet means this much to you?"

Starfire nodded. "More than anything."

Blackfire paused. "Okay, I'll do it. I promise to protect all that remains of Tamaran. I'll do it for you, sister." Blackfire flew towards the window.

"Blackfire." Starfire called to her before she took off. She lightly smiled at her. "It's good to see you."

Blackfire couldn't help but lightly smile back. "It's good to see you too, Starfire." She then took off and headed up to the depths of space.

"Woah." Beast Boy said in awe.

"Terra, thank you for your help." Robin told her. "We wouldn't have the information we have if it weren't for you."

"Aw geez, I'm just glad I could finally help you guys."

"I just have one question, though." Cyborg asked her. "Are you still able to, you know… use your powers?"

Terra nodded. "I mean, last time I checked I could. I'm sure I can still use them, I just, choose not to."

"Why do you suppose so?" Starfire questioned.

Terra leaned back and sighed. "I don't know. Sadness, regret… as much as there were a lot of good times I had with you guys before my… betrayal, every time I think about that part of my life the first thing that comes to mind is serving Slade."

"Oh."

The room went silent.

"But, it's not like I'm not happy where I am now." Terra continued. "I was finally able to return home and start school again, my grades are good, got a job, I made new friends, and now, I think I'm reconnecting with old ones?"

"You sure are!" Beast Boy hugged her once again.

"Yeah, we really did miss you." Raven told her.

Terra hugged them all once more before she heard her phone vibrate. She looked at the screen and saw it was a text from her mom. She smiled. "Curfew, I'm sure some of you remember what that feels like." She turned to leave and then suddenly stopped.

"Oh, here's something I think you should have." She held out a small little card which Beast Boy took and the other titans peered around him staring at it. It was her job occupation card which had her phone number and everything. "It's not exactly a communicator, but hopefully this'll do just in case you guys ever wanna reach out and stuff."

Beast Boy examined the card and his eyes caught onto something in particular. "Tara Markov?"

Terra smiled. "Heh, let's just say I only had to alter the name by a teeny bit once I became a titan."

"Ya need a lift home?" Cyborg offered?

"Nah, that's okay, I think I can manage." Terra walked and climbed over the nearest window and summoned a boulder and brought it to her feet. She stepped on the rock, getting used to the feeling after having not doing this for a while. "Well, it was awesome catching up with you after all this time. Rock on you guys." She prepared to take off.

"Terra," Robin called her before she could leave and she turned back around. He smiled at her. "We'll keep in touch for sure."

Terra smiled back. "Cool." She then took off into the night as the other titans got closer to the window and watched her fully disappear.

"Woah." Beast Boy said in awe.

"That was a pleasant surprise." Raven spoke.

"Agreed, I most enjoyed our time with her." Starfire added.

"Man, things have been crazy lately." Cyborg stated.

"Tell me about it." said Raven.

"Good thing I like crazy." said Beast Boy.

"Yeah, and now, there's no doubt that things are going to get crazier." Robin told them as they all continued to stare out into the night sky.
