Kiera realised that she was in no place she recognised. It was dark, and cold. Some kind of cave. Slade was there -of course Slade was there, he couldn't leave her alone, could he?
"Hello, child."
"Hi, Slade," Kiera said, too afraid to say anything that might get her in a mess.
"Do you know why you are here?"
"...No,"
"Ah. Do you see this statue?"
Kiera looked up at the statue she was leant against. She stood up and turned around- It was a full size teenage girl, and at the bottom, lay a plaque.
'TERRA
A TEEN TITAN
A TRUE FRIEND'
"Who's Terra?"
"A girl who sacrificed her life to save the one she loved."
"Why am I here?"
"Because, I want you to meet her."
A guy with a green face and a long nose stood out of the shadows. "My name's Mumbo Jumbo!"
Kiera stepped a pace away from Mumbo Jumbo.
"Afraid of clowns? What a shame!" He pulled off his hat, and lots of bats came flying out.
Kiera screamed. A full, Hollywood-worthy scream.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you." He scowled at Kiera.
He walked over to the statue and put a huge piece of fabric over the statue. "Are you ready to see my best trick? Hocus, Pocus!"
When he whipped he fabric from the statue, Terra, in full colour, moved, and rubbed her head. When she noticed where she was, she strted yelling at Slade. Inside her head, Kiera was cheering her on.
"Slade. Why are you here? Why am I here?" She hopped off the pedestal and looked down at herself.
"Say hello to Kiera." Slade gestured to Kiera, who stepped back again into the cave wall.
Terra shook her head. "No, I don't want to." She glared at Slade. "Where are the Titans?"
"They've all gone missing, see." Slade grinned. It wasn't a nice grin.
Kiera thought that over. They had all went missing? It was a possibility. Perhaps. But that would mean that the city would be unprotected from criminals. Well, the type that you couldn't stop with a pair of handcuffs, anyway.
"They have not!" Terra ran out the cave.
Slade looked at Kiera. "You go follow her. Off you go."
Kiera glanced at her unbandaged leg, it had been okay, but after a while of standing up, now it was starting to ache.
"Go!"
Kiera didn't have a chance to think it over, so she just ran after Terra.
Terra was running like no tomorrow- she glanced over her shoulder and put on a burst of speed when she realised she was being followed.
Kiera could put up with that. She tried to keep up. So far, she was doing well at ignoring the pain.
Terra eventually started losing her breath. The moment she began to slow down, Kiera jumped on her back. Kiera twisted round and Kiera fell to the floor. Terra pulled up a rock and jumped onto it, trusting it to take her away from Kiera.
Kiera jumped up and managed to reach it, though she was only just hanging on. She pulled herself up, and spoke before Terra could push her off.
"Slade's been chasing me for ages, can't you please get me away from him?" She said it way too fast for Terra to understand. But she did understand, somehow.
Terra took a deep breath. "Okay then. But first of all, do you know where the Titans are?"
Kiera reached in her pocket. A digital camera. She had taken a photo when the map popped up on the screen. It looked like she'd twisted the camera to an angle at the moment the photo was taken. It was a swirl of grey and white and a red smudge at the top corner.
"Gimme that," Terra took the camera. After pressing a few buttons, the photo was perfect. She took the rock upwards more. Looking down on the city, she turned herself the right way. She only took a moment to figure out where it was. she gave Kiera back the camera, and flew downwards towards the house that the titans were supposedly in.
Robin walked into the bedroom where Starfire was still sleeping.
He sat on the edge of the bed, and yawned. He lay down on the bed next to Starfire, facing the cieling. He couldn't help stealing glances at her, and eventually he just turned over to face her.
Beastboy punched Control Freak several times in the stomach. In the end, Control Freak just laughed. "Tickles," He said.
"It's all that fat," Beatstboy muttered under his breath.
"I'm Not Fat!" Control Freak yelled at the top of his lungs.
Starfire woke with a start.
Bolt upright, she wondered what Robin was doing, staring at her in her sleep. In Tamaran, you would be arrested for such a crime.
"Robin!"
Robin snapped out of his daydream. Dread filled him when he realised Starfire was awake.
"Why were you sleeping next to me?"
"Um..." Robin tried to come up with a valid answer. "I got zapped by a remote!"
Starfire thought back to that. She remembered Robin attacking her. "You attacked me. Do you no longer wish to be my friend?"
"I wanna be your friend, Star, Whatever I did, I wasn't myself..." Robin could actually remember attacking her. He never wanted to. Just he was angry and had no motive to restrain himself.
Starfire looked away from him. She was feeling hurt. Sho could have forgave him if she had just wanted to. She did want to, but she just couldn't.
Control Freak grabbed Beastboy, kicked him, and then pushed him over.
Then the door opened, and Terra was stood there.
"Beastboy!" She souted as soon as she saw him, being thrown across the room. She threw a bunch of small pebbles at Control Freak.
"Ow, ow, ow! Who are you?" He asked, pointing a finger at Terra.
"I'm Terra!"
"...Who are you?"
"Oh, I used to be a Teen Titan. And I wanna be a Teen Titan again. I'm sorry, Raven, I'm sorry, Beastboy," Terra said.
Raven ran over to the doorway, where Kiera was standing. "You can stay there, or you can come in. You could even help us beat this tub of lard."
(I have nothing against fat people. I'm insulting Control Feak so much and making him look stupid because he is a villain. I will insult any villain.)
