So, what do you guys think so far? I know Terra haters are probably cheering right now. Anyway, thanks for the reviews and on with the story.
Robin wasn't exactly pleased that Shadow was trying to destroy a fellow Titan that saved Gothom City as well as almost getting into a fight with a present-Titan. Shadow sat on the couch, slumped, hood off, arms crossed with an angry expression on her face,
"I don't know why you wanted to destroy Terra, but I won't allow you to do that again," Robin scolded but Shadow said nothing, merely turning his head with a pout. Avalanche knew that Robin isn't the most patient of them in this kind of situation so he stepped in,
"Hold on a minute, I know what Shadow was trying to do got you guys upset, but I highly suggest you leave her alone for awhile. Trust Me." It took convincing, but Robin did let Shadow off and let her go to her room.
"Okay, I know I promised Shadow I wouldn't tell anyone but I have to tell you guys," Avalanche announced after Shadow locked her room.
"You mean, Shadow did not mean to destroy Terra like the way it looked?" Starfire had her hopes up since she doesn't like losing friends,
"Well, sort of but not exactly," answered Avalanche while scratching the back of his head, "She better have a good reason before I pound her!" Beastboy' hand met his fist, still upset about it,
"Here me out. You see, when Shadow was young, and I mean young, she lived a very happy life. She had a best friend and-"
"You mean you?" asked Raven,
"Oh no no no! I didn't meet Shadow until I was almost a teenager! Anyway, she didn't have a care in the world; she can laugh, play, joke, and do anything that anyone would do without a care in the world. Until one day, she changed. I learned about Terra from my fellow Titans, and did some research on the events that happened in the past and I learned that Terra betrayed the Titans. But I also learned that she also sacrificed herself to save the city and was frozen in stone for a long time. I do know that in the end, Terra was a true friend to you guys and I believe what I found out. Unfortunately, Shadow doesn't think Terra is a hero because when she was eight, Terra took her happiness away. And I'm not going into details on what she took away! But I had a hunch that it wasn't really Terra that destroyed Shadow's happiness because I think Terra was possessed or something, but Shadow took it seriously and ever since that day, Shadow has never been the same. It really pained all her friends to see a dramatic change in her, and she decided to settle this once and for all by going to the past to take her revenge and save her future. I truly apologize for her!"
"If you knew about this, then why did you let her come to the past and come with her?" Cyborg pointed out,
"Because I know that she can learn that revenge is not the answer in this time. Plus….there's a battle happening currently in our time and going to the past to prevent it seemed like a good idea. I know I haven't really been doing anything important but I was still trying to get the feel of the past. And I didn't exactly think things through on how to stop our future problem…because I was excited to meet Robin…" Avalanche admitted. Everyone understood the reason, but forgiveness didn't exactly sink in with everyone.
Beastboy went to his room and was about to take his anger out on his stuff when he heard a knock on his door, "Who is it?" he asked,
"It's me, Raven. Look, I know you're upset that Shadow almost killed Terra, and I'm sorry."
"I can't believe I actually said that! Ugh, this is so stupid…" Raven thought to herself,
"Why are you sorry?" Beastboy asked in a sad voice, "It wasn't you that tried to destroy Terra." They were still talking with a door between them,
"I'm sorry because if Shadow is my future daughter like she said, then it's just as my fault as it is hers. Maybe I just didn't raise her well enough," said Raven with a shrug. Beastboy couldn't believe she was actually blaming herself for this! "Thanks, Rae. And I don't blame you at all. Don't be sorry," said Beastboy and smiled.
"You're welcome…" she said before she left.
"Wait a minute, Raven didn't tell me not to call her Rae like she usually does," Beastboy said to himself.
Please R and R.
