And again, I don't own Teen Titans or the songs.


Numb
By: Linkin Park

(this takes Place in Aftershock Pt. 2)

Intro:

"I've patroled the city four times already!" Terra said. "They aren't coming back!"

"Shut up you worthless girl." Slade hissed and back slapped her cheek.

She held her cheek, but she didn't cry out.

She was stronger than that.

"When I give you an order, you do it. No matter how many times you do it. Do I make myself perfectly clear?" he hissed.

She glared at him.

"Yes Master." she mocked.

He rose his hand again. She shut her eyes in fear.

"Would you like me to slap you harder?" he asked.

"No, sir. Please. I'll go. I'll do it." she said with a nervous tone.

"That's my good little girl." he said.

She walked out and jumped onto a rock.

(Music starts)

'Is this really how I'm supposed to be treated?' she thought...


I'm tired of being what you want me to be,

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface.

Don't know what you're expecting of me.

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes.


She sees the tower in the distance all battered and torn up.
An almost invisible tear runs down her cheek.
'I can't do this.' she thinks.


(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you.

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)


"Anything wrong up there, my dear?" Slade asks through her ear.
"No, sir. Everything is...quiet. Dead. Just like you wanted it." she responds.
"Good. We have alot more cities to conquer than this one and if your going to cry about losing your pathetic friends than I think..." he starts.
"No! I don't care about them!" she insistes.
"Good. Very good."


I've become so numb I can't feel you there.

I've become so tired so much more aware.

I'm becoming this; all I want to do.

Is be more like me and be less like you.


She continues to slowly stand on her floating rock wandering through the desolate city that used to be her home.
Memories flood back to her like a waterfall.
She steps off her rock and leans her back against a building and looks around.
This is her home, but she doesn't recongnize it.


Can't you see that you're smothering me?

Holding too tightly afraid to lose control

Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you


'Terra...why?' Beast Boy's sad voice rung through her head.
She couldn't bare to have his voice there.
She knew what happened to them.
What happened to him.
She finished them off.
They were dead.


(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take


"Terra..." She looks around.
The voice that called her name was more calm than Slade's harsh tone that she had often heard.
"Terra..." The voice sounded much clearer this time.
It couldn't, could it? Could he still be alive?
"Yes, Terra, I am alive."
She jumped when the voice knew her thoughts.
'This can't be happening to me.' she thought.


I've become so numb I can't feel you there

I've become so tired so much more aware

I'm becoming this all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you


"But you can't...how?" she stuttered.
She was frightened and confused.
"Come out and show yourself!" she demanded.
A greenish mist appeared beside her and she gasped with wide eyes.
"Terra, you can't do this. You can't. What about me? What about everything we had?"
She looked stunned than came back into reality.
"I...can't, Beast Boy. I just can't. Slade...he gave me what I wanted."
The green mist fell onto my shoulder as if sitting there.
"Control? Is that what this was about?"
I hung my head.
"Yes."


And I know I may end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me

With someone

Disappointed in you


"Terra, Robin told you before we could help you. Why didn't you listen?"
She looked up instantly.
"Because you told my..." she started but her ear device crackled and Slade sent a bolt of electricity through her.
She slumped to her knees and held her wrist close to her chest.
"Terra! I will not have you talk to something that isn't there! I told you to be patroling the city! Now get down here. NOW!" Slade yelled.
She gulped and ran off to Slade's lair.


I've become so numb I can't feel you there

I've become so tired so much more aware

I'm becoming this all I want to do

Is be more like me and be less like you


She got there and Slade's back was turned to her.
She came up behind him and he turned and grabbed her by the wrist and twisted her arm so hard she screamed out in pain. "You disobey me, apprentice, you pay the price." he hissed.
He shoved her to the ground.
Her hair fell over into her face and she gasped for breath. She was horrified.
'Terra, he lies. Don't listen to him. He just wants to hurt you...'


I've become so numb I can't feel you there

Tired of being what you want me to be


She got up almost looking like she wasn't swayed by Slade's attack.
"And where do you think your going young lady?" he asked.
"I'm going to patrol the city." she lied.
She left and surfed over the city again.


I've become so numb I can't feel you there

Tired of being what you want me to be


The green mist appeared again beside her and swirled around her.
She could feel the warmth on her body, even though her suit.
She tried to hold the smile back from her lips. T
hey were alive.
She'd have to be the actress again and pretend she was still with Slade.
Good.


I know. It's not as good as I thought. And don't review me saying something like this:"omg this was the stupidest thing I have ever read in my entire life! YOU SUCK!" Please don't. I hate flames. They hurt.
