Chapter 6: Listen to your Heart

After a nice dinner and the bragging between tofu and meat, the Teen Titans were sleeping in their sleeping bags next to the T-Sub. However, Beast Boy was still awake and was sitting at the edge of the hill, facing the mining area. He looked at the picture of both him and Terra with the sun setting in the background. Beast Boy could feel his soul growing cold as tears came down his face.

Beast Boy: (in thought) She's not coming back to the team. Even when Robin said it, she's not coming back. It's because it was all my fault. My fault Terra betrayed us, my fault she sacrificed herself.

Raven: Why is it your fault?

Beast Boy turned his head to the right and got startled for a second. Raven (without her cloak on) was next to him wondering what Beast Boy's saying.

Beast Boy: Raven! What are you doing here?

Raven: Can't sleep, thought I should meditate for a while. But it looks like I not going to be alone. (sits next to Beast Boy) So what happened?

Beast Boy: Uh... What do you mean?

Raven: Don't play dumb on my Beast Boy. You said it was your fault that Terra betrayed us. Tell me.

Beast Boy: I have no idea what you're saying.

Raven: Beast Boy, I can read your mind. You're hiding something.

Beast Boy couldn't take it. Raven was getting more suspicious and was going to make it worse. Beast Boy had no other choice.

Beast Boy: All right fine, I'll tell you. But promise me you won't tell the others.

Raven: I Promise.

Beast Boy took a deep breath and began his story.

Beast Boy: That night, when you guys were attacked by Slade's minions at the Tower, Terra took me out on a date and we went to an amusement park. We had a great time and had some fun. That was until Slade came and attacked us. We hid into the House of Mirrors. That was when Slade told me that Terra was with him the whole time. She was training with him, and gave him all our strengths and weaknesses. I thought I didn't believe him, but Terra admitted it.

Beast Boy's Flashback

At the House of Mirrors, Terra was running away while Beast Boy and Slade we're fighting each other. She then stopped and looked at her own image, filled with fear. She fell to her knees, feeling sorry about what happened. Giving Slade the information he needs about the Titans weaknesses and defenses made her guilty of her actions.

Terra: Beast Boy, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen.

Beast Boy went to Terra, now that he knew the truth.

Beast Boy: Then why did you let it?

Terra: I don't know O.K., I don't know. Slade, he helped me save me from myself. He said I owed him but-

Beast Boy: So it was all a game? You were just pretending?

Terra: No, you said you'd be my friend no matter what. Remember?

Beast Boy quickly turned his back away from Terra.

Beast Boy: Slade was right. You don't have any friends.

End Beast Boy's Flashback

Raven: Whoa, you really said that?

Beast Boy gave a small nod.

Raven: Why did you say that?

Beast Boy: I don't know Rae. I don't know what came over me that day. Deep down inside, I loved her, but that love was mixed by a lot of other emotions. Emotions like anger, sadness, hurt, confusion, and hatred. When I said that she didn't have any friends, Terra became a whole different person. When she attacked us, I saw her eyes filled with rage. And when she sacrificed herself, I saw her eyes filled with despair and sorrow. That is why it's all my fault she's in that stone state.

Raven: Well, Robin said that you blamed him for Terra leaving us and joining Slade. When he said that she can't control her powers and-

Beast Boy: No Raven, I only said that just to keep the secret away from them. If Robin or the others found out what really happened to Terra, they would be upset about it.

Raven: I don't think they'll be upset Beast Boy. If you tell them what really happened to Terra, I'm sure they'll forgive you. And when we bring Terra back to life and put her back on the team, I'm sure she'll forgive you too.

Beast Boy: She's not coming back.

Raven: What did you say?

Beast Boy: I said she's not coming back. Don't you get it!? I said something stupid to her and she took it hard. If we free Terra and tell her to be back on the team, she'll run away like she always does. Even if we convince her, Terra won't forgive us. And it's all because I said she doesn't have any friends. Maybe Star was right all along. Maybe I still am a Glorbag.

Raven heard every word Beast Boy said. She can tell that Beast Boy's mind is troubled and he doesn't know what to do. She then decides to take action.

Raven: Beast Boy, what does your heart say?

Beast Boy: Excuse me.

Raven: I know it's sounds stupid but trust me. When I was little on Azarath I always have doubts about my powers, sometimes I even thought about causing suicide once or twice. But my mom always tell me listen to my heart, that it's the one that makes the choices and decisions. If I haven't listen to my heart, I would never joined the Teen Titans, and become a friend of the team. Look, I know your mind said that Terra's going to leave, but what does your heart say about her?

Beast Boy: I don't know where you're going with this.

Raven: Just listen to your heart, then you'll understand.

Beast Boy thought Raven was crazy, but decided to follow her. He placed his hand on his chest feeling his heart beat.

Raven: Now, what does your heart say about Terra?

Beast Boy listened to his heart but heard nothing but thumps. All of a sudden, the thumps in heart started to say something. It's like his heart is answering the question.

Beast Boy: My heart- My heart tells me that Terra will stay with us.

Raven: And why would she stay with us?

Beast Boy listened to his heart again feeling the warmth coming back to him.

Beast Boy: Because I loved her and Terra loves me.

Raven: That's right. When Terra first met you, not only she enjoyed your jokes, but she loved your looks, charms, and you saved her a number of times. That's why she took you out on the date while we were under attack. She wanted to protect you, to stay out of harms way. But Slade came in and messed up everything for her. (placed her hand on Beast Boy's shoulder) Don't worry Beast Boy, I know that deep inside Terra's heart, she still trusts us, and she still loves you.

Beast Boy gave a warm smile to Raven.

Beast Boy: Thanks Raven.

Raven: Don't mention it. Now get some sleep; we have to get ready for the Griknack.

Both Raven and Beast Boy walked back to the T-Sub. Beast Boy stopped and looked up at the stars. A shooting star came out of nowhere as Beast Boy wished on it.

Beast Boy: (in thought) I wish that Terra would be back on the team and back in my life.
