Heart of Stone: Chapter V
For a split second, she thought of surrendering, but then an image of Beast Boy came to her, and she had to do something for his sake.
Garnet's blade was just a fraction of a centimeter away from her breast when Terra had a rock hit her from the side, throwing her a few meters away. It had afflicted her in too many places to cover it up completely.
Terra! You have to keep her from covering it up, she heard Raven tell her telekinetically.
What appeared to be fists formed from concrete grabbed Garnet's wrists, holding her in place.
"First blood," she said, walking in her direction while a few floating rocks followed her. Terra threw one at her right thigh. "Second blood," she said to a struggling Garnet. She let the other rocks fall and picked up a larger one and sent it in her direction and it cut a gash in her left arm. "Third blood," said Terra, smiling, as she released her. "Now, our deal?"
Garnet got up, stumbling a bit, and walked over to Beast Boy, defeated. She put a hand on his forehead then began to walk away.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven yelled, throwing something at the back of Garnet's head, knocking her unconscious.
Back home, Starfire was sleeping off a headache cause by a minor head injury, but she had come to shortly after Garnet was arrested. Robin and Terra were bandaged where they were bleeding the most heavily.
"Terra, can I speak to you alone?" Beast Boy said to Terra, nervously.
"Sure," she responded, following him to the hall.
"I wanna thank you for tonight," he began, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"It was nothing. After all, you did the same for me," she said smiling.
"But I just want to ask one more favor," he said, blushing. "You remember that place with the kick-ass pie? I completely forgot where it was "
Terra laughed and said, "Sure." They went outside and she made a rock levitate and jumped on to it. Beast Boy transformed into a crow and perched on her shoulder. She flew outside of town, noticing how beautifully the moon reflected on the water. When she reached the diner where they had had their first "date," Beast Boy transformed back, putting his arm around her shoulder.
"Haven't seen you around here in a while, the usual?" the old waitress said.
"Yeah, same for him" she said, gesturing to Beast Boy.
"So…" Beast Boy said. "sorry, but you don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but what was it like?"
"You mean being a statue?" She looked down as she said this. "It was lonely and seemed as if time had just stopped, like I was just floating in space, having no idea for how long…"
"I'm sorry for not trying to find a cure sooner…" Beast Boy apologized.
"It's ok, I know you tried your best," she said, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Hello, Terra, I haven't seen you in a long time," a familiar voice said. She turned around and saw Slade. He approached her saying, "So how has my apprentice been?"
