Thanks sooo much Savi for your reviews, I really like your story. Update soon!
Mîr sneaked off to the tower roof a few hours after Aqualad left. She was feeling, for some reason, extremely depressed. Hearing Aqualad's hash words, she recalled. 'It was great seeing most of you again.' She knew that the last part was directed at her, and only at her. It had for some reason really upset her as well, now she hurried up the steps to think for awhile.
Starfire had told her that she enjoyed relaxing on the roof whenever she was troubled. Mîr had made her way to the roof and had found her very correct. The skies where clear and all the stars seemed to be visible. The moon was high in the sky, its bright refection shining brilliantly of the small sea that surrounded the island. She sighed, it was her fault Aqualad's home had been destroyed, yet no matter how many times she had apologized, he never seemed to forgive her. She pushed her thoughts away and looked back up at the sky, a calm night breeze blowing her hair across her face. She froze, hearing the sound of a door closing behind her. She turned around to see BeastBoy watching her in confusion.
"What are you doing up here?" He said. "It's 2 a.m." Mîr turned around and ignored him. BeastBoy for some reason was very puzzled by her sudden disappearance after Aqualad's visit. Now she acting strange and his curiosity was driving him insane. He walked over and sat down next to her.
"Something bothering you?" He asked. Mîr laughed to herself and smiled.
"Why so interested?" She asked.
"Well…" BeastBoy really didn't know why he was suddenly so interested. Honestly, he wasn't mad at her anymore and kinda wanted to be friends with Mîr.
"No matter." Mîr said. "I won't mind company." There was something definitely bothering her. BeastBoy could just tell.
"No, seriously, what's wrong?" He said. Mîr laughed again.
"It's nothing of real importance." She said turning to him, he looked surprisingly concerned. Mîr sighed. "Well, I know that Aqualad pretty much hates me and up until now I really haven't let it get to me. But for some reason now it has."
"The team doesn't hate you." BB noted.
"Yeah you're right but you do." Mîr said half laughing. Her words hurt BeastBoy some as she said them.
'I don't hate her.' He thought, yet again he had been acting like he sure did the whole time she had been there.
"I don't hate you." BeastBoy defended. "And I'm sorry if it seemed like I did." He paused. "It's just, I miss Terra sooo much, and the rest of the team seemed to completely forget about her. I was afraid that they would forget completely when they gave you her room, so that's why I acted as I did. I didn't want the team to change too much before she came back you know." Mîr sighed. E had made some very points. She was trying her hardest not to change herself, to stay the way she had been when Seth was alive. She thought if she stayed the same she would remember him better. Lately she had realized that was impossible.
"I understand." She said finally. "I was just like you when died and still am some." She got up and began to walk over to a cooler that had been left on the roof. "Follow me; I want to show you something." She said to BB. He got up and followed her over to the cooler. Mîr opened it and looked inside. It was half way full of water and a few old empty water bottles floated inside. She took a bottle and showed it t BeastBoy.
"It's an empty water bottle, so what?" He said looking at it. Mîr turned back to the cooler and felt the water. It was still warm; it had probably been sitting in the sun all day. She put the bottle in and let it fill with water. When it was done she turned to the going impatient BeastBoy.
"The water is warm right?" She said, pouring a little on his hand.
"Yes, and?" BB asked. Mîr found a top in the cooler and put it on the bottle.
"This water is warm now, but will be cold by morning. How is that possible? It's closed up inside this bottle. Safe, nothing can get in, and nothing can get out, so how can it change when it is safe." She threw the bottle BeastBoy who looked it over. She was right, normally it made complete sense, worm water left out would get cold, in a bottle or not.
"What's your point?" He said tossing it back.
"You can lock yourself up in a steel cage for all your life, but you will change. No matter what do or say. Change happens to everyone, whether they notice it or not it always happens." BeastBoy still looked confused so Mîr continued on for a little more.
"You can't stop change, you and the whole team will change, even Terra."
"But Terra, she's covered in stone, I don't even know if alive how came she change?" He asked.
"I don't know." Mîr said. "But I do know she will, and hopefully for the better." She set down the bottle and looked at BB.
"It's not too much to ask, what exactly happen to Terra? I didn't think it would be right to snoop through the computer system. Can you tell me?" BB nodded his head and began to tell Mîr Terra's story. From the time the titans met her to when she became Slade's apprentice. When he had finished it was very, very late and Mîr was in shock.
"No wonder you hated me for using her room." She said drawing her knees to her chest. "I'm soo sorry." BeastBoy smiled and looked up into the sky.
"It's been awhile since all that." BeastBoy said. "I'm just happy Slade's dead, and who knows. All of us are still looking for cure in the mean time; Terra might be able to come back."
"You're lucky" Mîr said quietly. "Terra's not completely gone, Seth…" She trailed off. "Look its really late we both need to get some sleep." Mîr stood and headed to the door, she felt a lot better know knowing that BB was her friend.
Took me awhile to right this sorry. Really busy lately, evil school. Anyways I thought it would be nice to give you all the title of the next Chappie as a treat. It''' be called: Birthday surprise. Give you a hint it's not about Raven but see if you readers can figure out whose b-day it will be. Note I gave a few hints in the zoo duty chapter at the bottom of the page.
