If Terra hadn't known better, she'd think Beast Boy was in a comma he slept so long. But still, she waited, waited like he waited for her, waited for forgiveness, waited for love. Wait – really? Love? Terra began to lose her nerve, then looked down to realize that she had been holding Beast Boy's hand the whole time. As she was about to drop it, she saw his eyes flicker open.
"Terra?" 'Forgeting' (A/N hehe – ya right) to drop his hand, Terra responded.
"Hey BB." Both could feel the tears coming up to their eyes, Beast Boy forced his hand out of Terra's, who looked down in embarrassment. Until a split second later she was engulfed in his hug. They sat there, embracing each other, letting their tears come, their pain, distress, everything was being let out. The emotional turmoil over the past months was too much for either to handle, but none of that mattered now. Now, in each others arms, everything was perfect.
(A/N – hey I just realized how to make that line, sweet!)
Robin heard the crying, as he had heard so often before, coming from Beast Boy's room. But this time was different, this time it wasn't over Terra, this was for her. And when he heard the second voice, a softer whimpering from Terra, he knew they wanted to be left alone. Terra had broken his heart, he had broken hers, and now they were ironically fixing each other. He turned to Raven,
"I need a status report on that guy, now." Raven, who had been reading his mind, was confused.
"Who – Beast Boy?"
"No – the guy we just foug – hey waitasecond, what are you talking about?" Raven grinned, not responding and walked away.
She walked down the long hallway, thinking about how everyone else would match up. Starfire and Robin were seemingly together, but her and Cyborg – no way. Her and Robin she could live with, but Cyborg and Star – no way. She came back a few minutes later. She walked back as Terra and Beast Boy came out of their room, trying to act normal, immune to the fact that everyone had heard them. Raven looked down at the sheet for the first time.
"The guy was named Geo-Force," Terra looked up, eyes wide, "doesn't seem to be that big a problem."
"Raven, are you sure!" Raven was surprised by Terra's sense of urgency, but couldn't get past the wall that Terra had set up to read her mind.
"Ya I'm sure Terra, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing, just … nothing," Terra put on a false smile and walked towards her room, "I think I'm going to bed." The
The Titan's stared at each other, exchanging the same glances, then all the glances were shot at Beast Boy, who was a step ahead, already walking towards Terra's room.
He walked in. Seeing the distress on Terra's face.
"Terra what's wrong."
"Nothi …"
"Terra what's wrong!" He didn't mean to raise his voice, and didn't realize he did until he saw the shocked and scared expression on Terra's face. He immediately began, "Terra, I'm sorry I didn't mean to raise my voice - I'm just - just scared Terra, I'm scared for you." He walked over and sat down next to her on the bed, taking her hand in his. "Please Terra, what's wrong."
"Beast Boy, Geo – Geo Force is my brother..."
"That's not all that's troubling you Terra, please, tell me every..."
"When I left five years ago, he came to me one last time and said what he always said afterwards, 'If you try to leave, I'll track you down and kill you.'"
"What do you mean afterwards Terra."
"After he – he –he." She couldn't say it, but Beast Boy got the idea, she had been raped, apparently multiple times. He took her again in his arms, letting her cry herself to sleep as he kissed her forehead,
"It's ok Terra, I'll protect you."
