Faint…. Everything…
Midnight, no, dusk.
Blind. Cold. Wet…
Light? No. Something... better? Maybe.
"….-ink he'll be ok?"
"He'll be just fine."
"Look he's coming to."
"Terra..," uttered Beast Boy in a barely audible voice.
"What? Beast Boy say something," said Robin.
"Terra... Terra!!!!!" exclaimed Beast Boy as he shot upright. "Ahh!" he cried as he quickly grabbed his abdominal region. Beast Boy quickly notice his surroundings. His legs covered by a white blanket, his friends standing on both sides of what appeared to be a bed.
"Beast Boy, watch it. You're in no condition to move," sympathized Robin. "You're in the Titan Res—
"I know where I am," cried Beast Boy, wondering why he was in the Titan Rest Wing. "Now let me the hell out of here," said Beast Boy faintly as he tried to get out of bed, "I… gotta… find... T--"
"Terra is fine," laid out Raven.
"Whe--"
"She's in her room," said Raven, once again interrupting Beast Boy.
"Beast Boy," said a concerned Starfire. "We believe it is best for you to remain still and not upset your injuries. You are most damaged! Please do not move"
"Damaged?" questioned Beast Boy as he know realized he was still griping his lower torso. "What... did I--"
"That hit from Slade really took a toll on you," said Cyborg. "You were out cold for who knows how long."
"That… hit from... Sla- Slade!!!" yelled a startled Beast Boy. In an instant everything came back to him: two titans sitting in a room talking, an alert from Robin, two titans walking closely down the street, a shadow, a friend in fear, a scream ……..
"Ahh! No, let me go!" argued Beast Boy as he leapt out of bed and made a break for the door.
"No Beast Boy," retaliated Cyborg, "you don't know what you're doing!"
"I know exactly what the hell I'm doing!" he yelled as he slipped through and made a mad dash for the door.
"Beast--," "No, let him go" said Robin.
What was going on? Beast Boy was running through the Titan hallways, not knowing where his feet were taking him. But before he knew it, he was bursting his way through Terra's door.
"Terra!" yelled Beast Boy panting heavily.
"Beast Boy!" responded the shocked Titan, standing up from her sitting position on her bed. "How the—you shouldn't be out of bed."
"Terra, you… are ok," said a relieved Beast Boy as he settled down on Terra's bed.
"I'm ok?!?!" she said as she sat down comfortably next to him. "It's you who should be worried about!!"
"Yea but back there I—you disappeared."
"Beast Boy, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have-- "
"Terra. What happened? I mean, to me. I remember I was… fighting Slade, and then…" Then it came back to him. They were on the dock, he and Slade. Hands locked together Beast Boy went for Slade and was bested by Slade's elbow to the stomach. Then darkness. A rush of cold air that seemed to last forever. But something stuck out in his memory. He woke up. For what seemed to be only a second. He opened his eyes and found that the wind was no longer against him. A yellow border and two blue blurs. What could that have been?
"A yellow border and two… blue.. blurs…." said Beast Boy. "Terra! You saved me. I was falling. Slade threw knocked me over the rail. I remember now, well for the most part… but... Terra…"
"Beast Boy!!!!" yelled Terra as she lunged towards him, her eyes glimmering.
Before he knew it, Terra had her hands flat along his chest, pressing her lips against his, luring Beast Boy to his long awaited response of kissing back.
