Chapter two Terra's Flight
Terra skidded to a stop at the end of a sheer drop off she looked down into the darkness as if
looking into her own heart. The slim blonde focused her powers and formed a large block of
stone leaping onto it she slid down the sheer drop off. Normal this was a thing of great pleasure
at these moments Terra was able to forget everything terrible that had happened. She embraced
the adrenaline rush and laughed as the wind swept through her long blonde hair. Not this time,
This time Terra was preoccupied, Slade had only desired for her to earn the Titans trust and
then make off with training videos. To lure them into a false sense of security, and then to lead
them into a trap. She knew by now that Raven would be hot on her trail and it was imperative
to Slade's plan that she make it to H.Q. ahead of them. Once there she would encase them in a
block of stone while Slade's lackeys destroyed the tower. It would take everything she had and
more to hold them in there Raven would be the most troublesome, for her powers were much
like Terra's. She couldn't kill them though that was most likely what Slade would ask, and if it
came down to it she didn't know. Her parents death, or the Titans neither an option she was
willing to see. Terra was visibly shaken from months of worry and intense training. Everyday
was growing harder, and harder for the girl. Yet, she must go on for her parents. Memories of
her mother and father swept back to her. Her first bike, countless birthday parties, family
outings, time spent with the understanding love of her mother and the strong guidance of her
father through the birth of her powers, and the day they disappeared never to return. As she
continued to speed on riding the stone block as skillfully as any surfer, she heard a howl from
behind her, Beast Boy in wolf form. He was pacing her, putting forth all his energy in order to
catch her, he was soaked in sweat and foaming at the mouth with exhaustion. His eyes shone
with blind determination. Terra had underestimated him she had not been expecting Beast Boy,
Raven, yes, Raven she could have understood but Beast Boy. No, fate was too cruel how
could this happen she couldn't strike Beast Boy, but she had to. Gritting her teeth she flung
small stones at her relentless pursuer. Beast boy leapt agilely out of the way and was struck by a
larger chunk of stone and knocked unconscious. I'm sorry Beast Boy I hope your okay
Terra thought sadly to herself as she picked up speed and left the prone form of her former
confidant lying in the dust.
Starfire sped after Beast Boy as he closed in on Terra. "Beast Boy please wait for the others!"
she called out desperately to him. He ignored her and sped on after the blonde streak. Starfire
put on a burst of speed as she noticed how far ahead they were. If Beast Boy got into trouble
he would be all alone. As Starfire closed in on the green form of her team mate she watched
helplessly as a large boulder struck Beast Boy in the head. "BEAST BOY!" she screamed as
she flew to his side. Beast Boy was laying face down in a crimson pool of blood and his once
bright green skin was getting paler, and paler. The wound on his head looked serious and
Starfire had no idea what to do. In tears she used her communicator to contact the others.
"Beast Boy has been injured and he is…leaking…please hurry I don't know what to do and his
color is not good." Star said desperately into the communicator.
Within seconds of her message Raven arrived on the scene. She quickly flew down to Beast
Boys side, and began to use her healing powers.
"Raven will he be okay?" Star asked quietly as she smoothed back a stray hair and wiped away
a few tears from her face. Raven said nothing her eyes closed in concentration. It seemed as
though she was pouring everything into saving Beast Boys life. Her dark aura was at its fullest
and seemed to engulf the three. Without notice Cyborg and Robin came quietly to Star's side.
Robin embraced her and tried to soothe her by saying everything would be all right. Truly Robin
had no idea, but he wasn't willing to leave his team mates, there might have been a time when
he would have raced after Slade without noticing his team mates plight but this was life and
death and he had to help in any way he could. Star needed him as she had always looked to him
for reassurance and guidance, and beast boy the youngest of the group he was always trying to
act so tough in order to displace his insecurities much like Robin himself. Cyborg's face was
grim, he was closest to Beast Boy, and seeing his friend near death reminded him of how human
he really was. They all watched breathlessly as Raven put her soul into her work. Gasping in
amazement they watched as the wound closed slowly but surely. Raven sighed as she drained
her last reserve, and nearly fell onto the unconscious Beast Boy, had it not been for the
quickness of Cyborg. Held safely in Cyborg's arms Raven spoke at last.
"He will be fine, but it took all I had. I nearly had to bring him back to life, a few more seconds
and he wouldn't have made it." Raven closed her eyes and allowed Cyborg to carry her.
"I'm glad BB's okay I don't know what I would have done without him I'd miss the lil guy."
Cyborg sighed in relief as he looked down on the sleeping form of his green friend. "Thank you
Raven" he whispered to the small sleeping teenage girl in his arms
"Yeah, it just wouldn't be the same without him." Robin said to Cyborg as he helped Star up.
Star rushed over to Beast Boy and gently picked him up and snuggled him close. Beast Boy
yawned and blinked his eyes in surprise.
"Hey, Star…yawn… what's going on? He asked as he rubbed his eyes, "man what hit me? I
feel like I've just been brought back to life heheh."
Star smiled brightly and hugged Beast Boy even closer. "Oh, I am so glad you are okay I
thought you had expired!" she exclaimed happily. Best Boys eyes bulged as the Tamaranian girl
continued to hold him tighter.
"Uhh….Star…your crushing me." Beast Boy managed to squeak.
