My Season 4 - VOL. II
A Firma Line
The 4th Teen Titans Fanscript – Fanfic Adaptation
By RavenStar
Author's Note: The plot of "A Firma Line" is as follows: With Jinx now on the team, the Titans' number is even at 6 members. But 6 may not be enough to defeat the new villain OneLine. Can an old friend help to be the unlucky number 7 and tip the balance in the Titans' favor?
NOTE: OneLine is a character made up by me.
ACT TWO
Terra stood over the hopelessly defeated OneLine, now basically welded to the ground by her powers. "You see, there's this thing I have about lines:" she said. "They're only safe if they're properly grounded."
"TERRA!" Beast Boy couldn't believe it.
Terra welcomed his bear hug warmly. As they embraced, the rest of the Titans just stood and stared at Terra in shock. "I thought you were gone..." said Beast Boy, tears forming in his eyes.
"I thought I was, too, BB. I thought I was, too... But I'm back."
Beast Boy was now fully crying with joy. "You're back..." He hugged her tighter.
In the background, the police arrived.
Suddenly, Terra keeled over, wheezing and panting hard. "Terra!" Beast Boy almost panicked.
Jinx and Raven ran over to help Beast Boy lift her up.
"Thank you," Terra gasped.
"No problem," said Raven.
"Will she be alright? Starfire asked.
"Starfire," Raven said dryly, "she's been encased in rock for forever. She's just drained and tired. All she needs is food, water, and rest. Then she'll be just fine."
Meanwhile, the police took OneLine away.
"I will return! I WILL return, Titans! You haven't seen the last of me!" he barked.
"You're right, OneLine:" Jinx said. "We haven't seen the last of you."
OneLine was put in the police van and its doors were closed.
"Oh - now we have."
All the Titans laughed.
The next was another bright, sunny, happy day over Jump City.
Inside the Tower, Robin and Starfire were watching TV, while Raven and Jinx were reading a book together on the other side of the couch. The double doors opened. All four Titans on the couch looked up as Cyborg & Beast Boy JUMPED into the room.
"Cyborg, a little drumroll?" Beast Boy asked.
Cyborg gladly obliged, playing a drumroll loop from the stereo he had in hand.
"DUN DUN-DUN-DUN DUN-DUN DUN DUH!" Beast Boy looked like he was introducing the Queen.
He and Cyborg saluted as Terra walked through the doors.
She could not keep from giggling as she turned to Cyborg.
"Private Cyborg!"
"SIR, YES SIR!"
"You're dismissed! Go do what you want!"
"THANK YOU, SIR!" Cyborg responded. He went to do whatever - conveniently staying in the room.
Terra turned to Beast Boy.
"Lieutenant Beast Boy!"
"SIR, YES SIR!"
"Pick me up, carry me into the kitchen, and make a sandwich for me! STAT!
Beast Boy scooped up Terra in his arms, grinning wildly. "Oui oui, my darling..." he said, doing his best Pepe Le Pew impersonation.
Terra cracked up as Beast Boy carried her to the kitchen. Beast Boy put her down, then yanked out some bread, a cutting board, some vegetables, and a paring knife.
"So what'll it be?" he asked, rapidly slicing the vegetables. "Tofu eggplant supreme? Tofu, lettuce, and tomatoes? Tofu cheese with BAM! Essence of Tofu? Tofu, sprouts, and cheese with tomatoes-"
"How bout just a ham sandwich?" Terra asked.
Beast Boy's face dropped.
"Please?" Terra leaned in close to him. "For me?"
Beast Boy hesitated - then, his hands shaking, he winced as he took out the sliced ham and put it on her sandwich. He looked at the ham slices. "I'm sorry, guys. I'm really sorry..."
Terra giggled, then took the plate with the sandwich from his still shaking hands. She gave his cheek a peck kiss. "Thank you, Beast Boy. You're sweet."
However, when she went to sit down at the table to eat, Starfire ZIPPED over to her and HUGGED her. Jinx, Raven, Robin, and Cyborg walked over as Starfire giddily spoke to Terra.
"Oh, I cannot tell you how much joy I am feeling to know that you are back with us, Friend Terra!" the Tamaranean girl exclaimed.
Terra blushed, embarrassed. "Hey Star..."
Raven hugged her after Starfire. "Good to have you back, Terra."
Terra blinked in astonishment. "D-Did you just hug me?"
Raven looked at Jinx and they both giggled.
"Uh..." was all Terra could say. Beast Boy put his hand on her shoulder. "A lot of things have happened since you've been gone, Terra."
"Oh," Jinx smacked her head. "I should probably introduce myself." She extended her hand to Terra. "Jinx."
"Jinx?" Terra asked. "Wait - wasn't she-"
Raven put her arm around Jinx's neck playfully. Jinx smiled.
"Like Beast Boy said –" Raven continued, "A lot of things have happened since you've been gone."
"Apparently..."said Terra. She realized all the Titans were still staring at her.
"Uh, could I be left alone so I can just go ahead and eat my sandwich in peace?"
Caught, the Titans slunk back to their previous activities.
"Lieutenant Beast Boy!"
Beast Boy stopped, turned, and saluted Terra. "Sir, yes sir!"
"Stay here with me?" Terra asked sweetly.
Instantly, Beast Boy was on the stool next to her.
Finished with her lunch, Terra was putting her plate in the sink, laughing at something Beast Boy has just told her.
She walked over and sat on the couch, Beast Boy beside her. "So, none of you guys are still angry with me for what I did?"
"Why should we be?" asked Robin.
"You sacrificed yourself to save us." Starfire smiled.
Cyborg nodded. "You saved the entire city."
"That's not a villain," said Raven.
Terra looked at her, a little surprised.
Raven continued. "That's a hero."
"And that's what the Titans are:" Jinx chimed in.
Beast Boy put his hand on Terra's. "Heroes."
Terra smiled at him. "Thanks, guys."
"We're still workin' on figuring out how to get Slade's neural suit off you," Cyborg semi-growled. "That slimeball certainly knows how to keep his name around after he's gone..."
"So, uh Cyborg - what happened to Slade?" Terra asked.
The question caught Cyborg off guard. "Uh, well—"
"Cyborg, just tell me - what happened?"
"Well... Let's just say you're not the only one who's recently returned."
"What? But he fell into a pit of lava!" Terra said, shocked.
Robin hmmphed. "Well, he's back."
"In fact, it was Jinx's becoming a Titan that brought him out of hiding," Raven explained. Jinx nodded. "Yeah, it was. We just went through another of his sinister plans again."
"And we had him...we had him all tied with a bow, we were all ready to ship him off to the jail that he belongs in—" Cyborg sighed. "And he escaped from us again."
BRANKK! BRANKK!
The alarms went off again.
Jinx was extremely, as she just got back to reading with Raven the book she and her were reading earlier. "Ugh –" she groaned in disgust. "Always at the good chapter!"
Raven snorted. "I know what you mean..."
Robin rushed to the monitor. "It's OneLine!"
"What?" Terra asked,
Cyborg wasn't thrilled. "Aw, man, he escaped?"
Raven crossed her arms. "Oh, wonderful."
"He's at the Bank at this very moment, siphoning money from other people's accounts using stolen credit card numbers he's received from wherever he was before he got here to this city," Robin said, observing the monitor. "They're tracking him online."
Jinx was more than confused. "Why would he be siphoning accounts while he's inside the Bank? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose those people have for siphoning money in the first place? And why would he trip the alarm?"
"Yeah –" Terra asked, impatient. "So why are we still standing here? Shouldn't we stop him - now?"
Robin turned. "Titans! GO!"
They all RAN out of the Tower again.
