Without the Mask

Quick Notes: 1) Disclaimer is in the prologue...
2) Reviewers:
a) Dazzle- I meant that I to the idea of Terra and Beastboy. I just plain don't like that pairing.
b) AG- Thanks, glad you like it so far. Terra is my absolute favorite character from Teen Titans. I checked out your website and it's awesome so far! Great pictures! I could give you some if you want. I've got a whole mist load of them! I like Slade second obviously. He's an awesome villain; I just wish he'd show up a little more. Well, hope you continue to read! Thanks again! That's Terra's last name! I knew it! Some friends and me had an argument over it. Now I can prove them wrong! HELL YEAH!
c) Trallgorda- oh mist! Yes, I meant, "may be". That's a typo. Hope it didn't cause too much confusion. I should've written, "He is" instead.
d) OMFG! Congratulations to the person who put their name as "who cares"! They guessed what I had planned without even knowing it! Here's what they wrote:
"Go for Slade + Terra that would b cute!! (As long as he's in his 20's)"
*claps proudly* Awesome work! We also have someone who seconded the idea! Thanks all! PS: I'm glad somebody has said something other than: "You're crazy". My friends said it wouldn't work cos he's too old even with the age I gave him, but I really don't think age matters! I'm still working out how it's gonna happen cos I can't just alter somebody else's character in personality. Slade has to be...well.... he has to be...SLADE, after all. If anyone has any suggestions I'd really appreciate it. Just give me an e-mail or something. I have msn messenger that I'm almost always on constantly: sesshomarusgal@hotmail.com. Don't be too surprised if my name comes up as "Terra Markov".
e) Thank you all who reviewed and those of you who just read and don't review. Have a great day!
f) There will soon be images for the story on my homepage at: www.KachinaPrisma.deviantart.com. You could just click on my name then webpage, that works too. They should be up really soon.
Chapter 3: Not Always What They Seem
Slade sat silently in his chair planning and going over plans. His plans must be thought through carefully and have backup plans just in case. So far, things were set back a bit by Terra's injury.
"Maybe I'd gone to quickly. Perhaps Terra wasn't ready for that just yet." He thought aloud.
Thinking of what to do next was becoming difficult with the fact that Terra would be temporarily weakened. He knew that when Terra returned to her training he'd need to go back to small things once more. She'd be too weak and her speed and flexibility would be severely affected as well. Slade kept pondering his predicament. Many times he had to overcome his need to pace from frustration.
"Slade?" came a voice from the hall.
Coming out of his thoughts, he found Terra entering with the up most caution.
"Come Terra. There's nothing to fear."
She looked to where she heard his voice and began to relax a bit.
"I came to tell you I've healed enough to begin training again." She informed confidentially.
Slade stood. "Are you certain Terra?"
"Yes."
"As you wish. But because of your injury, we need to go back to small training. Can't afford you getting hurt again do we? I'll be in the control room."
Slade watched the teen run out quickly. That signaled she'd healed more than he'd expected at this point.
"Perfect." he whispered.
Young Terra seemed so innocent. She was clueless as to what he was planning. Soon enough she'd figure it out. He wouldn't have to tell her. A quick one she is, and she'd see all the clues and most likely hear it from his own mouth at one point. Then there would no longer be innocence in her strong blue eyes, but hatred. That's when he'd have to apply force. Like he'd done with Robin. Only Terra was slightly weaker. She'd give in and wouldn't fight as much as Robin had. By then she'd be able to control her powers fully and a whole mess of emotional earthquakes won't brake out. He already had what he needed to contain her energy and power so that she wouldn't be able to use it. The hair clip he'd returned to her not only had a tracking device in it, but an energy container. It would disable the use of her power so she wouldn't try to escape. Terra had no friends to distract her, and no one for her to put her trust into. She'd be the downfall of the Titans. His victory at last!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not much had happened since the Titans' battle with Slade. Starfire ran and dashed about the T-Tower yelling happily about some holiday of her planet. Beastboy and Cyborg were deep in competition on a racing game on there game system.
"Give it up Cyborg! Ya know you can't beat me!"
"What are you talking about Beastboy? I'm winning!"
"Not for long!" Beastboy did some sort of cheat code and it put him in the lead.
"No fair! You cheated!"
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
The two stood up yelling furiously at one another while the game ran by itself. Soon the noise was overheard by Raven who swooped out from her room and to Beastboy and Cyborg.
"Quiet!" she hissed angrily.
"No! He cheated!"
"I did not!"
"Did too!"
"Beastboy! Cyborg! Shut up!" Raven yelled.
The two stopped and stared blankly at her.
"Beastboy, you cheated! Get over it both of you!"
"But--" they both said.
"Quiet! Take responsibility for your actions!"
Cyborg and Beastboy burst out laughing like psychos.
"What?" Raven asked confused.
"You're telling Beastboy to take responsibility for his actions? Good luck with THAT one!"
Beastboy stopped laughing. "Hey, wait, I mean...AWWW, MAN!!"
Cyborg laughed even harder at Beastboy's response. Raven rolled her eyes knowing it's useless from this point to win and started back to her room.
"I don't know why I even bother.," she said.
Starfire suddenly flew into the room singing loudly, yet pretty good. She flew around the room giving out beaded necklaces of all different sizes, shapes, and colors.
"Uhhhh...Star?" Cyborg asked looking doubtfully at the necklace.
"Yes?' she said smiling brightly.
"What holiday did you say this was?"
Starfire giggled. "Vorthog! It's the day where all of the people of my planet celebrate the joy of being alive!"
O-kay..." Beastboy raised an eyebrow. "Just how many holidays does your planet have?"
"Why, well--" Starfire was cut off by the door swinging open noisily.
They all looked to see who it was. Robin and Raven ran into the room expecting a battle. They all gasped at the sight before them.
A/N: Haha! Cliffhanger! Blah! Guess you'll just have to read to find out who it is...it's the most unexpected person too...but I'd better shut up now, I already ruined one surprise. Hope people come back for more!
