Terri
Part 8
At the tower, Terri laid on her bed, her eyes closed and herself propped up by two pillows. Speedy sat at her side, his head in his head. Terri hadn't moved since he put her in the T-car, which started to worry Speedy. She was still breathing, but it was very weak. Speedy grabbed a cup and filled it with water from the sink. He sat back in his chair and tilted the water into Terri's mouth. Terri swallowed it slowly, Speedy hearing the gulps.
"Terri, can you hear me? If you can, I'm sorry I didn't help you," Speedy said leaning forward, his arms rested on his knees, "I should have been there... I'm so stupid," Speedy banged his fists on Terri's bed.
"If your so stupid, then why do I like you?" said a weak voice from above. Speedy looked up and saw Terri's eyes half-way open with a smile on her face. Speedy blushed and stood up quickly, scratching his head and clearing his throat.
"Well, um, uh," Speedy said looking around the room.
"You're the nicest person I know, Speedy. If you are stupid, you wouldn't have rushed to my side like that," Terri said weakly.
"Well, you were hurt, what else could I do besides that?" Speedy said crossing his arms.
"Well for starters, you could have completely blown up at Mammoth. But you took it as a gentleman and helped me," Terri said with a smile.
"How's your arm?" Speedy said sitting back down. Terri looked down at the badly bandaged arm. She still couldn't really feel it, but enough to move it about an inch up.
"Still hurts, but it'll heal fast. I'm known to have a bruise for about two seconds," Terri said.
"No matter what, you're not going into battle with an arm like that. You could have been killed,"
"It's not the first time I almost died. I'm kind of like a cat, I have nine lives,"
"No, Catwoman has nine lives. Terri, you could have really gotten killed out there!"
"I think I would know that, Robin Hood! Why do you care anyway?" Terri said eyebrows furrowed.
"Because I l- because I... watch out for my teammates,"
"Oh really? Why didn't you help Starfire when she collided to the ground? Or Beast Boy who got thrown fifty feet by Mammoth? Or Raven who almost got hit by building construction beams that Jinx threw hexes at? Or Cyborg who almost got short-circuited by Gizmo? Or Robin who was surrounded by those ninja things?" Terri said, eyebrows stilled furrowed. Speedy sat there blankly with nothing to say. Terri just nodded her head and hopped of the bed.
"Just what I thought," Terri said shutting the door behind her. As she walked down into the hallway, she heard a squeak.
"I don't really want to talk to you right now, Speedy," Terri said turning around, but no one was there. Terri stood there hesitantly, then continued to walk down the hallway. She heard creaks behind her. Terri looked back again, but yet again no one was behind her. Terri continued to walk, a little faster than normal.
"If that's you, Speedy, could you please stop? I'm not in the mood for games right now," Terri said quickly as she heard more creaks, walking faster than before almost to a sprint. Terri reached the family room, turning around sharply that she slid a couple of inches. She decided to wait for whatever was scaring her. Five minuets past by and no one came out of the doorway.
"C-c'mon and s-show y-yourself!" Terri stuttered holding up her fist. Terri heard footsteps getting closer and closer. All the sudden, Terri was staring down at orange-brownish boots.
"No, not you!"
