Terra's Life Story By: Terra Markov

That night I stayed awake in order to find Gar. When I found him he was asleep near the ashes and little ember of the fire he had, had going. I stayed awake all night in order to hide when he awoke. Don't get me wrong, it was hard, but I just had to. In the morning he looked around several times, and he had a little water before he moved on. I noticed that we were headed towards the Doom Patrol's city. He went into the city and I stayed on the outskirts for awhile. I felt a rush of an icy cold stare on the back of my neck. I turned around and saw only the forest. That's Creepy. No, it's paranoia.

I went into the city to see Gar at gun point. Of course, I gasped, and the Doom Patrol came and Gar turned into a python and wrapped himself around the criminal. Once the gun was dropped, Gar returned to human form. I could faintly hear Mento say, "You have powers?"

"Yes, sir. I do." Gar replied.

"Nice work, kid. Although you really should leave this stuff to the professionals." Robot-man stated.

"Oh Cliff stop, he did a great job. Don't be jealous." Elasti-girl teased.

"He could've gotten hurt." Negative-man countered.

"He would make an amazing addition to the team. Who knows, maybe you guys will like him."

Gar smiled brightly, as Mento said, "True, but I bet he has a few issues with his powers. Everyone has a flaw. But, I guess we could use an extra hand," Mento smiled, "What do you say….?"

"Garfield," He looked at me with a glare, and then smiled back at the Doom Patrol, "I'd love to be part of the Doom Patrol!"

I stayed in the city and a few weeks after Gar met the Doom Patrol, There was a skating competition. I had, had a dream that it was going to be a disaster, so I registered to stop any and all madness. To my surprise, I made it. I only did a few Triple Lutz and a couple Spread Eagles. Other stuff too, but I didn't think it was all that good. Off to the competition!

The next few days I spent watching Gar or practicing. The Day finally came and to my surprise, The Doom Patrol was there. Gar was right next to the ice and wearing a goofy mask. I giggled as I thought this then I put my hair into a bun. They called my name and I skated onto the ice. Gar stared at me, as if saying 'You haven't left yet?'. I went to middle of the rink, my hands in front of my chest. I waited for the music to start. Once it did, I skated toward the judges and jumped into a spin landing on my right foot, doing a backward Spread Eagle. Still on only one foot I spun twice on the ice and turned toward the curve of the rink. I quickly skated over to it as the words of Love Will Find A Way from lion king 2, ring through my head. I skated quickly toward the middle and did several stunts, such as a Triple Lutz, before I got to the other side. I did another Spread Eagle, toward Gar, and he had the most priceless face in the world one that said 'WTF!' I couldn't help but giggle.

I got second place and I heard a ticking sound. I decided to investigate, I found a bomb on both sides of the rink. Gar must've noticed me, because he ran over to me. I quickly took off the protective metal cover. I saw three wires Red, Yellow, and Green. Gar had gotten to me, and he froze at the sight of the bomb. The Doom Patrol came over to us, quickly noticing Gar's tenseness. I looked at the wires again, and Mento was coming over to me. I remembered Red you're Dead, Green is mean, yellow is mellow I cut the yellow wire. Looked up at Mento who was shocked I knew which one it was and the I looked at the rest of the group. Instead of smiling I jumped back on the rink and skated away.

I met them back in the lobby. I was tying my shoes and Mento said, "I like your speed. We could use it…"

I cut him off, "Sorry. Can't. I would if I could," I paused and thought for a second, "Actually, I can but I won't, it would ruin your team. If you want an explanation, you can find me on the outskirts of town."

Mento was surprised, but nodded all the same. "I guess I'll see you tonight."

I smiled and said, "I guess," as I walked away.

Sorry it took soooooo Long to update. Heh I had writers block. I hope you enjoy!
