Much to her surprise, Terra had quickly recovered from the effects of prolonged stillness. She could easily stand in five hours. She also could kind of limp, which was good enough for her. As most of concentration was on walking, she had hardly noticed her surroundings. She looked around, taking in all the memories of her final encounter with Slade. She knew exactly where he had stood, where she was fighting to regain control of her body, where Beast Boy was coaxing her to fight off Slade's power. She remembered everything as if she were watching it now. She looked down and she remembered something else.
Beast Boy felt extremely depressed, and Starfire had noticed. "Would you like to do the "hanging out", we could in engage in the violent cinematic games I see you play with Cyborg, yes"? Beast Boy agreed, he needed to do something, anything, to get Terra off his mind for a bit. Even if it meant an unchallenging game of Mortal Combat with Star. The video games were no contest. Starfire didn't even know how to work the controls. "Dude, I like clobbered you"! Beast Boy continued to gloat, even though there were more important things on his mind. He just wanted Star to think that he was content so she would leave him alone for a while. Star gave an awkward smile and left to hang out with Robin. Beast Boy sighed. Everybody was getting along just fine. Would he ever be the same?
The suit. Terra felt herself start to tear up. "NO"! She screamed. She pounded her fist against the wall in aguish. "I need to get this damned thing off", she declared. You couldn't begin to imagine her relief when the suit easily tore off her skin like tape. "When Slade lost control of me, the suit must of malfunctioned and let go of my skin". She threw the remains of the suit to the ground, and heard it crash against something metal. On the ground, next to a bouquet of dead roses, was a plaque reading "Terra, a Teen Titan, a true friend". She, yet again, cried. "They did care". She said between sobs. She needed to see them, more than anything. Maybe they really would accept her. She drew up the rock containing the plaque. She wanted to take it with her. It was a big plaque, so she decided she could float on it. "Finally, a rock with my name on it". "Oops". She blushed, she needed some clothes. "Oh, great", she said, "I don't have any thing to wear". She knew where the closest clothes donation box was, and it was already pretty dark out. She could hit it up for some clothes. She curled up not wanting to be seen. "And now, I begin my journey". She joked as she floated out of the cave.
It was getting late. Everyone was starting to get ready for bed. You would think a bunch of teenagers would be staying up till one in the morning, but Robin had ordered them to go to bed at 11 to keep their powers up. He said they couldn't be tired and need to be prepared for missions. Everybody had grudgedly obliged, not doubting Robin's leadership skills. Beast Boy tried to act like himself the whole day so no one would be suspicious. He needed some serious alone time with Terra. When he was sure everybody was asleep he set out. He couldn't be seen, so he transformed himself into a fly. He flew out his open window to the sacred place where Terra stood. When he was far enough away that he wouldn't be seen by the rest Titans, he changed back to normal and ran, his heart beating the entire time. "I'm coming Terra", he whispered to himself.
Terra came upon the red donation box behind Marty's Liquor store. She rummaged through it finding a XL sized man's football shirt. It was labeled Jump City Hawks in big silver and blue writing. She had watched a Hawks game with Cyborg and Beast Boy before. She giggled remembering throwing Fununs all around when they won. She put it on, and if she tried she could've probably slipped her entire lanky body through the neck. She looked quite funny in the giant t-shirt which looked like a dress on her. She laughed at herself while looking in a cracked full-body mirror that had been left in the furniture donation section. She couldn't linger much longer she had to get...home. She felt warm thinking about Titan Tower. She let a tear escape. "Terra, your going soft, crying like this". She joked to herself. "I'm coming home Beast Boy", she whispered to herself.
