Terra Returns
Chapter Two: Resurrection
Beast Boy couldn't wait until the next day. That would be the day that Terra would be brought back to life. That is, if Robin's "way" of doing so works out. Still, he was very anxious. This could be their only chance.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Beast Boy said.
It was Robin.
"What's up, Beast Boy," Robin said. "Bet you can't wait for tomorrow, huh?"
"Nope," Beast Boy said.
"That's good. It's nice to know that my machine won't go to waste."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you see I've been working on it even since Terra di- I mean was turned into stone, I started working on a new invention that could bring her back."
"What happened?"
"Time passed, and everyone else started to forget about her. I figured that I should stop. But now, it can finally be used on her."
"Cool."
"You do already know that there are risks. Either Terra can be brought back to life, or, she could be killed in the process."
Beast Boy was silent for a moment. This was a hard choice. Either bring back his beloved Terra, or lose her forever. But hadn't he already lost her before? Why should now be any different?
"So what's it gonna be?" Robin asked.
Beast Boy thought for one more second before deciding.
"Let's do it."
"Everything will be ready. I just hope it works."
"Me too."
The next day, everything was ready. The machine, called the De-Gravifier, was in the basement, and it was ready to work. Everyone volunteered to help, except Raven, for obvious reasons. Now that everything was ready, they just need one more thing: Terra.
"I'll go get her," Beast Boy said.
He ran off out of the Tower to revieve her. He found her in her same position she was in for a year.
"Come on, Terra," he said as he left the heavy statue off its place. "You might be saved."
He took her to the Tower and down to the basement where the others waited.
"Great," Robin said. "Now just place her in the container."
Beast Boy did what he was told.
"Now close it."
He closed the De-Gravifier.
"Good."
"Now how exactly does this thing work?" Cyborg asked.
"Well," Robin started, "now that Terra is in the container and is securely locked in, we can start the machine. On my signal, Starfire will initiate the 'Melting Phase'."
"What does that do?"
"It burns away at the rock around her. Like an acid."
"What if it burns her?" Beast Boy asked, worried.
"Don't worry, BB," Robin said, calmly. "This acid can burn through everything but the metal and glass in the machine, and flesh. After this is finished, it will be drained and washed out in the 'Cleansing Phase' that will be operated by Cy. Then, we wait."
"For what?"
"For Terra to come to life. Everybody ready? Let's get started."
Starfire went to work on the computer, and soon after, the container was filled with a thick blue liquid. After ten minutes, the liquid was drained, and then filled with water. Then it was drained again.
"Finished," Robin said. "Now we wait."
They waited for an hour. There was still no movement coming from the naked figure in the container.
"Maybe she's dead," Starfire said.
"Don't say stuff like that!" Beast Boy said, angrily. "She's alive, and I know it."
He didn't even believe what he was saying. Maybe Terra was dead. If so, then they had failed. He felt no different from when Terra was incased in stone. Only that this time, he could see her in person.
He could see her beautiful face, and her fine body, and her round hips, and her twitching hand, and her nice… her twitching hand?
He focused more closely on the hand. It was moving! She was alive!
"Guys, guys!" Beast Boy said, excitedly to the others. "She's moving!"
They all came to see that Terra's hand was moving. They cheered over their accomplishment.
"Wait," Robin said. "She's still not breathing."
He was right. Though her hand was moving, she was as stationary and lifeless as before.
"Wait," Cyborg said. "I have an idea. I can insert some electricity into her. Just life the doctors use those… things, I can use my hands the same way."
"Well, give it a try," Robin said.
Cyborg opened the top of the container. He slowly moved his hands over Terra's chest. He placed them on top, ignoring the fact that he was touching her breasts, and pumped the electricity. Nothing. He tried again.
Suddenly, Terra rose up. She gasped for air as she lifting herself off of the surface of the machine.
"Close it back, Cyborg, hurry!" Robin ordered.
Cyborg closed it, and locked it. This calmed her down.
"She's not used to our air yet," he said. "We have to keep her contain-"
His words were drowned out by the crashing of glass. Terra was breaking out of the container! She broke the lock handle, and then kicked the top completely off. If Starfire hadn't blown it to bits, it would have landed on Beast Boy.
Terra was standing up now.
"Get her," Robin said. "Quickly!"
Cyborg jumped for Terra, but she jumped out of the way and onto Robin. She was actually attacking him! She dug her nails into his skin, causing him to give out a painful howl.
She then turned her attention to Beast Boy.
"Uh, Terra?" he said. "Don't you remember me? It's Beast Boy. Your friend-"
He ducked, just barely avoiding her grasp. Starfire tried to get her, but Terra was moving too fast. Beast Boy couldn't believe it. Maybe if she didn't try to kill him he would have been happy or, even more like him, would've enjoyed the sight of her running around naked. But she actually tried to attack him!
She was focused on Beast Boy again. This time, he ran out of the basement. She was quickly following him. He ran all the way up the stairs (taking the elevator would've taken too long) to the living room. There was Raven, reading her book as usual. She turned around to see Beast Boy running away from Terra!
She couldn't believe her eyes. Her worst enemy, sort of, was actually alive. But how?
Before she could think of the possibilities, Beast Boy had ducked down away from Terra's tackle, who was now heading towards Raven! Raven quickly put her powers to work. She had put a black bubble around Terra, and sent it floating up to the ceiling.
Beast Boy, recovering from the shock, looked up at her. She was struggling to be freed. He then looked at Raven, who was still staring at the revived Terra.
Behind, the rest of the Titans came. They saw Terra in the bubble near the ceiling.
"We have to keep her contained," Robin said. "Starfire, do you still have that huge cage with you?"
"Yes," she said.
"Go get it."
She left, and came back with a huge cage, like Robin wanted. Raven released Terra, and let her drop into the cage placed below her. They all took the cage away while Terra tried to make her futile escape.
"Not exactly how I expected her to react," Beast Boy said to Robin.
"Yeah, I guess not," he said.
