Beast Boy slowly got up: around him, only destruction; everyone who could
had escaped but many people were still on the ground, crying weakly. Terra
had got up and was admiring the scene, smiling evilly.
"How's the witch? Sorry, I forgot that you both have to die, so it doesn't matter at all..." she said to Beast Boy and laughed. He shook his head, trying to convince himself that is was only a bad dream, that it was still night, and the sun wasn't shining on the corpse of people like nothing had happen. Why it wasn't raining, so he hadn't to cry alone, in that damned square? He gave up, and simply sat down, crying. Terra looked him with hate, and said:
"So, here's the famous strength of Teen Titans, the invincible team... But now that you're alone, you cry, little child? What's up? You can't stay alone? I passed all my life being alone, and I grow up very well, don't you think?"
Beast Boy wasn't listening; deep inside, he was trying to find the strength to stand up and make her pay for all the pain she had caused to him, to Raven, to Paul, and to all the innocent people. But it needed too much strength, and his legs weren't in the mood to help him. He cried more loudly, hoping to find some strength in the desperation, but it was all futile. Terra laughed again, and picked up a rock:
"Don't worry, you won't be alone anymore, I'll send you where there isn't any sufferance... or life!"
and she threw thee rock. Beast Boy didn't know what he was doing, he just did it: he stood up without hesitation, morphed in a mosquito and dodged the rock. Terra looked him, and threw another rock, but he was too small, and avoided them easily. He forgot all the pain he had suffered before, now only revenge was in his mind, and he was determined to have it. He flew near Terra and morphed into a gorilla, and started throwing punch everywhere. Terra avoided them, thanks to her reflexes and some rocks which were used like shields, but the last punch hit her in the stomach and she fell on the ground, far some meters from Beast Boy. She stood up, and spitted out some blood.
"That's all you can do?" she said with scorn.
"No, that was just a shot...." Said Beast Boy, emotionlessly.
"I'm glad, cause you're gonna need all your strength, to defeat me!" and the fight started again, with Terra who was throwing everything around, and Beast Boy who were fighting like a mad, ignoring all his wounds, and focusing only on making Terra feeling the same pain he was suffering. Another punch hit Terra, and this time she fell down and had to wait a minute before finding the strength to stood up, and when she got up, she was trembling like a drunk. She was losing, and she knew that another punch and she would have be K.O. or, worst, dead. Suddenly, she saw her safety. She smiled and lifted a rock; Beast Boy morphed again in a mosquito, ready to dodge the attack, and waited Terra's move. She threw the rock, and Beast Boy, full of surprise, noticed that it wasn't coming towards him, but towards Raven, who was still unconscious on the ground, near Paul's corpse. Beast Boy didn't know what he was doing, he just did it: he morphed in a gorilla and ran with all his strength towards Raven, and punched away the rock, sending it back to Terra. She was distract and noticed too late the rock. She shouted an unarticulated cry and tried to dodge the rock, but it was too late: it crashed right in front of her, exploding in a thousand of small debris. Terra remained buried under the debris, and only an hand was visible. Beast Boy went down on his knees and started crying: he still loved her, after all. And now, everyone was gone: Raven was on the ground, half alive, and Paul was dead, forever, like Terra. An hour before they were chatting happily, worthless, and now they were there, killing themselves and dying, for what? For some stupid reasons, for a little bit of power, for the same, old story. And love, the only escape, revealed himself like a traitor with the name of Terra, and nothing was left, only death and debris. Beast Boy started crying. When the police finally arrived, Beast Boy was still crying, keeping Terra's hand, and Raven was still unconscious on the ground, near Paul.
