When Terra awoke from sleep she expected to be greeted by either a chorus of angels or the roaring flames of Hell. After all she was certain she was dead after Slade's attack and she wasn't sure if she was good enough for Heaven or evil enough for Hell. She frankly hoped God would let her rest beneath the earth that she was always a part of anyway. What she did not expect was her former teammate and rival Raven to be chanting over her. Her shoulder was in a cast.

"Raven?"
Raven continued chanting. She finally stopped after a few minutes.

"We managed to retrieve the documents. Do not move your arm. Your shoulder was broken. I managed to repair most of the damage, but you're going to be out of commission for a while." Raven said.

Terra sat up. "Remember when I called you a witch? I've never been more grateful for your witchcraft."
"It's not witchcraft. At least not the kind you're thinking of."

"How do you know what I'm thinking?" Terra asked a bit annoyed.

"Because I know you." Raven said. "Turning against Slade took guts. Now spying on him and stealing documents from him is a special kind of bravery or maybe idiocy. I haven't decided yet."

"I'm not sure myself." She paused. "Does this mean I'm back on the team? Did Robin say?"
"No, he didn't." Raven answered.

"Would you accept me again?"
"Terra, I never accepted you." Raven said. "On the other hand Beastboy's about to go crazy wanting to see you again. So is Star. Cyborg isn't showing it, but he's really happy."

"And you?" Terra asked.

Raven sighed. "You're unstable and not worthy of my trust. However, you're performance on this particular mission was excellent."
Terra decided that was the closest to a compliment Raven would ever come to giving her. "Thanks. I guess."
"If you ever hurt my friends again-especially Beastboy- I will tear out your soul and cast it into my father's realm where he will torment you for all eternity."
"And your father is…"
"Satan."

"Oh. My dad works for him."
Raven's lips twitched in what Terra thought might have been a repressed grin. Robin strode in.

Moment of truth. Terra thought.

"So, how'd I do?" Terra asked.

"You accomplished your objective." Robin said. "Good work."

"Thanks." Terra laid back down. "So, Slade is building an army of super soldiers."
"He's only managed to get to the experimental stage." Robin said.

"And there's no way I'll be able to gain his trust a third time. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, fool me three times I might be a dumbass. Even I'm not that good of a liar."

"And Slade is no dumbass." Robin commented. "What we do now is make a plan to break into Slade's headquarters and steal the super soldier serum. So far he's only made one batch. Since Terra needs time to recover we move out two days from now. We discussed it while you were out, Terra. Do you agree to the plan?
"Does this make me a Titan again?" Terra asked.

Robin nodded.

"I…Yes. But there's something I really need to say. Just get everyone together, alright?"
Terra stood up and walked from the infirmary. The other Titans were gathered in the living room. Both Starfire and Beastboy rushed to hug her. She let them and embraced them both.

"Guys, there's something I need to say to everyone."

Beastboy and Starfire backed off. Terra sighed.

"I'm sorry. The things I did and said were inexcusable. If you all hate me…if you want to kick me out and never see my face again I understand. I hate me too."
"Terra…" Beastboy started.

"But all I ask for is a chance. A third chance I know. Please, accept me back. But if you don't want me I'll walk out right now."
The Titans exchanged glances.

"I'll go along with everyone else's decision." Raven said.

"Terra I still love you." Beastboy said.

"I still think of you as a friend." Starfire told her.

"So do I. We all make mistakes." Cyborg agreed.

"Terra you proved yourself with this mission. You've already atoned twice with this mission and the sacrifice you made. I accept that." Robin said.

Terra sighed with relief. "Thank you. You…you guys are great, the best friends I ever had." She teared up. Beastboy hugged her. She hugged him back and they held onto each other.

"I love you Beastboy. Always will and always have."
"So do I, Terra." He told her, kissing her deeply.

"Hug of the group!" Declared Starfire in her mangled English. Terra translated and had time to prepare herself for Starfire's bone-crushing hug, then Robin, Beastboy's and Cyborg's. Raven rolled her eyes, but even she joined in.

"Don't fuck this up." She growled to Terra.

"I won't. I promise."

They all broke apart.

"Now that all the mushy stuff is out of the way, we need to do some serious thinking about how we can infiltrate Slade's lair." Cyborg said.

"Terra has been in and out of Slade's lair several times. She might be able to help us." Robin informed them. Terra suddenly felt uncomfortable as suddenly all eyes were on her.

"Well, Robin's probably told you about the school I infiltrated. Basically it leads straight to Slade's lair through a tunnel deep within the earth. I was able to seek it out with my powers which have evolved considerably by the way. I also know the security codes."
Raven bit her lip to keep from asking the question on her mind. How can we trust you? How do we know you're not leading us straight into a trap? She trusted Robin and Robin trusted Terra. That was enough for her to fall in line like the good soldier she was. Terra had proven herself again and again, but Raven could not so easily forget her betrayal.

And if she betrays us again…

Will you really send her to my domain? Trigon asked her from the depths of his seat in Hell.

Well, Father's Day is coming up. Raven replied.

You've never done anything for me before…

Raven closed the connection before Trigon could scold her about what a terrible daughter she was and realized she'd tuned out to what Robin was saying. Luckily Robin always summed up these meetings.

"Two days from now we will go to the school and find the tunnels. Then we will find Slade's lair and get the serum. Agreed?" Robin asked. They all nodded. It was getting late so they said good night to each other and headed off to their bedrooms. Terra gawked as she noticed Starfire take Robin's hand and then head off with him towards his bedroom.

"C'mon Terra, that can't surprise you too much." Cyborg said. "They hooked up last year in Tokyo."

Terra thought back to all the interactions she'd seen between Robin and Starfire. "Yeah, I should've seen that one coming."

Beastboy took Terra's arm. He blushed. "W-would you mind if I showed you to your room?"

"Not at all." She said, smiling at him. They walked in silence. Beastboy led her to her room, not letting go of her arm. She didn't want him to. They paused at the doorway.

"I don't deserve you, Beastboy." She told him. "I can't tell you how sorry-"

"Terra, that's enough. You've apologized. I forgive you. I hope you can forgive yourself."

"When did you get so wise?" Terra asked him.

"After you. You taught me so much Terra." He held her hands in his. "You helped me grow. You taught me to love."

They kissed passionately, intensely. She tasted like the freshness of the earth; he tasted like the musk of the wild animals that walked upon it. Both were of nature, attuned to the wild world and all the desires and instincts that come with it. She wrapped her arms around him and drug him into her bedroom. He knocked her onto the bed.

"I have waited way too long for this." He said.

"Stop talking." She ordered as she kissed his neck. He moaned in pleasure.

(A/N-And I'll end it there to keep the T rating. I don't know if Raven and Trigon mentally talk, but I thought it was an amusing concept.)
