Chapter 10

Terra sat in the bar, staring at her bottle. She was on her fifth one, maybe the sixth, she lost track after the third one. She put her head on the counter and closed her eyes. She knew going to Markvoia was a bad idea. She found out she was going to be married off and then lost her child. They found out later she was carrying a girl. Terra sat up and ran a hand through her hair. She had probably two more bottles before she left.

Terra was walking the streets with a slight tumble. She made her way to the junkyard. When she found an open car, she crawled in and lied down in the back seat. Part of her felt like she should stayed there for no one. She couldn't go back to Garfield and faced him. She felt ashamed for everything. Nothing good every really happen to them besides the wedding. She lied to him many times, lost his daughter and now she was a drunk! Terra curled up and cried some.

"You've reached rock bottom haven't you?" Terra looked up and saw Slade standing nearby.

"Come to make my life even shittier?" She asked. Slade walked over.

"Don't forget who you were to me." He said.

"That was years ago. I don't use my powers anymore so fuck off!" She said.

"Oh poor Terra. You seem like you have nothing left." He said.

"I don't. I have no job, I lost my daughter and I found out I was going ot be married off to some creep and I can't even look at my husband. I have nothing." She felt Slade grabbed her hands.

"You have these. Your wonderful, beautiful power I helped you control. Use it. Express your anger!" He said. Terra kicked him out and got out of the car.

"You want me to express my anger? How about I TAKE IT OUT ON YOU!" Her eyes started to glow and she brought up a boulder and hit him.

"You have ruined my life! It's your damn fault!" She said bringing out another one hitting him causeing him to knock over some cars. He got up and looked at her.

"What about your family? Isn't there fault you lost your child?" He said.

Before Terra threw another one, she thought about it. He was right. It was their fault. She started to scream as the earth shook. If it was possible, Slade would be smiling. He watched the Earth rise as it shook. This was perfect for him. Terra was out of control. He turned away and left. Terra was left there for a while. Soon enough, Garfield ended up coming with Wally and Jinx.

"It's not a monster, it's Terra." Jinx said.

"What should we do?" Wally said. Garfield started walking towards her.

"Gar, be careful." Wally called out.

"I've done this before." He said.

Garfield dodged the rocks that were flying around. He came to the center and saw Terra was pissed. He could also tell she was crying as well. Garfield walked over and grabbed her arm. A rock came flying at him and he ducked. Quickly he pulled Terra into a hug. Terra felt it was him and wrapped her arms around him and cried into his shoulder. The shaking stopped and the rocks fell down. Garfield held her tight.

"It's okay Terra. It'll be okay." He said.

"IT's their fault. It's there." She cried.

"Who's fault?" He asked.

"My families." She said.

"No. It's the Duke's son's fault. It's all his. And he was taken care of. Brion took care of it." HE said. He brushed her hair as the others came over.

"Should we get her home?" Jinx asked.

"Yeah. Wally, can you get to our place and start making coffee?" Garfield asked. Wally nodded and ran off.

"Let's go home Terra. Get some coffee in you." Garfield said.

Terra nodded as they started walking. When they got home, Wally had made them all some coffee and had a blanket out for Terra. Garfield sat down on the couch with her as Jinx brought over the coffee. Garfield wrapped the blanket around her as she picked up the mug and took a sip. Garfield brushed the hair out of her eyes.

"How you feeling now?" He asked in a soft tone.

"I can't cry anymore. I'm dried out." She muttered.

"I know. I'm cried out too. Have you been going to work?" He asked.

"I got fried." She muttered.

"I'm sorry. I know you wanted that job. Terra for now, just stay home and rest. I'll get a job to help pay for bills again. Alright?" He said. Terra nodded her head.

"When you work, want us to watch her to make sure nothing like this happens again?" Jinx asked as Wally came over. Garfield nodded his head yes. This was a hard time for both of them. And now, Garfield's main goal was to get her to be happy again. He wanted to see her smile again. He watch her finished up her coffee and then got up. Terra went into the bedroom and closed the door shut. Garfield sighed.

"We were talking about getting a new house when we left. Everything was going so well and then this happen. Terra was kinda of right. It's her family's fault this happen." He said.

"Well luckily you guys do have another chance. But I guess that's going to be a while for Terra before she'll want to do anything." Jinx said.

"Yeah. It'll be a while before she'll think about another child. I hope what happens doesn't make her never want kids again." Garfield said.

"It shouldn't be. She was happy thinking about having a baby. She should be like that after this depression stage is over with." Wally said.

Garfield rubbed the back of his neck. He shrugged his shoulders. Now he was worried. Maybe he could convince Terra to talk to someone to help her with this. He got up and walked to the bedroom. He opened the door and saw she had fallen asleep. Garfield walked over and took off her shoes and socks. Thankfully she was a heavy sleeper. He got her clothes off and put on one of his shirts. Garfield put the sheets over her as he picked up her clothes.

He gave her a kiss on the forehead as he walked out and put her clothes in the hamper. HE walked back out and sat down and took a sip of his coffee. He sighed and looked at Jinx.

"Can you come over to watch her while I look for a job?" He asked. Jinx nodded her head.

"Yeah. You want me to contact Raven and see if she'll come here to talk to her?" She asked.

"Sure. And tell her not to mention Star and Robin's baby. It will kill her to hear anything about babies." Garfield said.

"Yeah. Well we should leave. Come on Wally." Jinx said getting up. Wally took their cups and put them up and came out.

"See ya Gar." He said as they left. Garfield waved and leaned back.

He had a idea to get Terra out of this depression.
