Not that I really need to say it... but I do not own Teen Titans. However I do own some of the characters who may be introduced in this story. For further reading on said characters see Code Lyoko: Desires, my second FanFic.
This is a parody on what might have happened if Terra hadn't joined Slade but instead my character, the traveler. (Again, see Code Lyoko: Desires)
Terra
How could they... How could he? Beast Boy had told me that he wouldn't tell anyone about my problem with my powers... but he had, he had told the others, how else could they have known. I couldn't stand it, he had lied to me! I thought he liked me but he had lied to me...
I was running away... running away from the pain, but it kept up with me. I couldn't escape the pain that I felt in my heart. The hurt of betrayal... I barely noticed the walls of the ravine closing in on me, the very place that I had met the Titans. I didn't feel the rain pouring around me softening the hardened ground, mixing with the tears from my eyes. The cold wind blew carrying the smell of wet earth and trying to push me over but I didn't care. I simply didn't care any more the pain was far too much for me to bear...
I fell to the ground bringing my hands up to my face and let myself cry. The rain poured over me streaking down my body and drenching my cloths. I continued to cry, alone once more... A moan of agony escaped my mouth and turned into a scream of pain and anger. I threw my fists into the sky with rage just as a lightening bolt struck. The anger in me grew as it flooded through my body mixing with the misery.
It wasn't fare. I had done nothing to them, how could they have done this to me. How could Beast Boy have betrayed me like this? I had almost had a home! For once in my life I had almost been accepted! How could they! How dare they! How? Why...
My body drooped to the ground again as the misery, the agony took over once more. The tears poured from my eyes and the rain washed them away... I barely noticed the footsteps coming towards me. As the person came closer I looked up and trough the blur of my tears I saw Slade.
"What do you want?!" I demanded in a low moan.
"To help you child..." He said calmly. "Your so called friends turned out to be nothing you thought they were. I am here to offer you asylum, shelter from the cruel world. I can help you; I can teach you. Teach you how to fully take control of your powers."
"How can you do that?" I asked the tears running down my cheeks slowing.
"Trust me and I can show you." He replied.
"I wouldn't trust him." A voice said coming from the woods.
Shocked, Slade and I both jumped. We looked around to see who was there but in the darkness were unable to see anyone. It was almost as if the voice had come from nothing but the air around us.
The cold wind blew through the trees pushing the rain away from me and into Slade. He stepped back and shielded himself with one arm and I shivered in the cold. Now that my emotions had changed I was beginning to feel the effects of the world around me, the rain dripping down my body soaking my hair and cloths. Quickly I wrapped my arms around myself to keep warm.
"Show yourself!" Slade demanded turning quickly around looking in different directions for the person who had spoken.
"As you wish..." the voice said. "But first I will show both of you what would happen if Terra did decide to join you."
A light appeared on the ground illumination the trees around us. I saw a symbol brightly engraved below the light but it disappeared before I was able to make out what it was. In its place an even brighter light appeared and began consuming everything around it, including us. As the light dimmed, and I was able to see again I suddenly found myself face to face with myself. I was standing beside Slade in the house of mirrors at a caravel which I had been to many times before. As I turned around I saw that lying in front of us was Beast Boy defeated, but still alive. He was looking at us, at me with hate. It was the hate from someone who had been betrayed. All around us were broken mirrors showing a fight had taken place...
Slade and the other me walked away into the darkness and the space shifted. I was now at Titans Tower in Jump City. The tower had been nearly destroyed and there were destroyed bodies of Slade's robots lying around. I saw the Titans before I heard them; they were sitting around a circle looking both angry and hurt, all of them but Beast Boy.
"I knew we couldn't trust her." Raven said. "She didn't just give Slade hidden cameras and security codes, she gave him us."
The space changed again and I saw Beast Boy confronting the others begging them to try to talk to me, to not kill me until they tried to get me back on their side. Then one by one I watched myself defeat them, all of them including Beast Boy... Then, suddenly, they were back, but with a vengeance. They hunted me like an animal and did everything they could to take me down. I was chased into an underground cave and I asked Slade's forgiveness. Instead he attacked me...
Now, running for my life from both Slade and the Titans I found myself being confronted by Beast Boy one last time. He was begging me to stop and come back to the Titans. I wanted to, but somehow Slade took control of my body and made me create a spike of rock hovering just over Beast Boy's body. The other Titans surrounded me and told me that if I killed him they would kill me.
Struggling to regain control of my body I managed to throw the spike at Slade, but the struggle had triggered a volcano that would destroy everything. Telling the others to leave me I stayed behind to stop it, but in the process died... I then saw the Titans walking into the underground chamber and placing a sign and flowers below the feet of my body which was encased in stone. I couldn't see the sign but I watched as Beast Boy promised to find a way to someday get me out of the rock and the vision faded back into the real world...
"What does this prove?" Slade spat.
"Simply that if she joins you she will die, but far worse than that, she will hurt the people she loves..."
"And what makes you think this will be the future?" Slade demanded.
"Terra," the voice said ignoring Slade's comment. "Search you feelings. Look within your heart. You know that I am speaking the truth. Now you need to decide, will you join Slade and be damned to that future, or will you seek another way?"
I was trembling on the ground. My body hurt, my insides hurt. I felt as though I couldn't breathe, as though I were encased in stone. This was far too much to take in at once... But then my mind returned to the expressions on Beast Boy's face. The look of anger, pain, and love... they were all far too real. I knew that I couldn't do that to him, not again...
"I will find another way..." I whispered.
"What?" Slade retorted.
"I will find another way." I repeated. "I won't do that again! I won't!"
"No! You can't do that!" Slade yelled rushing me.
The rain stopped and a bright white light appeared between him and me. Out of the light came a man wearing a hooded cape and a cloak. Four wings appeared out from under the cape, two demon-like and two angel-like. He held up his hand before Slade stopping him.
"I will not allow you to harm her." The man said.
"Just try and stop me!" Slade Yelled.
"As you wish..." The man replied and with a wave of his hand Slade disappeared.
I stared in open mouth shock as the man turned around. My body slouched and I fell to my hands and knees on the wet earth looking up at him. Another cold wind blew causing me to shiver and the trees bent shaking the rain off of them. One of the man's wings extended out over my head stopping the rain.
"Who are you?" I asked in a whisper, my voice trembling.
"I am a friend." He replied. "Come," He extended a hand. "I have much to explain and much to offer..."
"But what if I don't want to?" I asked.
"Then that will be your choice child, I will not force you, but if you decide to come with me I can offer you sanction and protection. I truly can help you understand your powers, and if you ever decide to leave, that will be your choice as well."
I slowly reached my hand out to his, and hesitated. From what I had seen taking sides could be very dangerous... but it had been this man who had shown me, and it had been him who had protected me. I continued to extend my hand and placed it in his warm palm. He gently gripped my hand and helped me to my feet.
"Come..." He said. "We have much to talk about, but first... You need to get dry and warm."
He lead me out of the woods and back towards the city. I suddenly felt safe comfortable, and, for the second time in my life, sure of myself. Warmth began to flood my body as he led me and all of the pain disappeared. My eyes began to get heavy and I drifted off to sleep...
