Chapter two: Flash
Hey everyone. My dad is finally back. I'm sorry about that. Well, now I'm sick. Woot…anyways, my stomach hurts because I ate too much grapes then had a lot of Starburst so now my stomach hurts. Anyways, sorry it took so long to update this chapter. My dad would only let me on for a limited time so I updated my other story first. Now, since you all waited so patiently, here's chapter 2.
Wait, yes, Terra's in this chapter. I don't know what happened. I think I'll just make this one of those any time anywhere stories. Terra alive and she's a threat. RAE/BB MA/SD STAR/ROB (maybe)
Chapter 2: Flash
Mia starred around her at the surrounding comforts. There was a bed, pillows, and a blanket. It had been months since she had slept on a real bed. She set down her ruined backpack and flopped down on the bed. Her mind swirled as she thought of all she was just told. And to think, all they told of her was who Terra was, what relationship she had to the titans, and how she died. Well, it was a lot of information but it was only half of the story, that's what drove Mia crazy. It didn't matter though, the Titans wouldn't tell her any more because if word got out then blah blah blah. Now, she was stuck in a guest room in an unfamiliar superhero team's house, thinking about what to do next. Her head swirled around in thoughts until they finally led to dreams, and she fell asleep.
" So this Mia girl, how can we trust her?" Beast Boy asked, " I mean, she just comes here knowing everything about you and then asks us everything about Terra and how we live." He sat down on the couch between the quiet Raven and the slouching Cyborg.
" We don't know, we just do." Robin said, " She might be able to help us."
" How?" Cyborg asked curiously. " Aren't we supposed to help her?"
"Yes, but, she might prove herself worthy against some tuff placed to get through. She seemed short to me, and agile, so maybe…" Robin trailed off.
" OH! You mean to make her become a part of the team!" Starfire exclaimed, " What a glorious plan!"
"Besides the fact that we have bad luck with new comers." Raven said dryly. She crossed her arms over her chest, "I don't think this is a good idea." She sipped quietly on her tea.
" Yeah, Raven's right." Beast Boy put in, " She just seems weird…I mean she know like everything about you…" Beast Boy sighed and threw his hands up in the air, " But by all means, give your trust away freely, see if I care!"
Raven sighed and looked at him, " Even if you're the one who did it in the first place." She got up and walked out of the room.
" Well, I guess that's that." Cyborg said, " We disobey Raven's opinion and have her be moodier then before or not let Mia join the team and have Raven stay the same, not in the least bit thankful that we went by her wishes." He sighed and put his arms on the back of the couch, " Actually, we wouldn't get hurt by Raven, only BB would."
" But, we do not even know if this Mia will say yes." Starfire said quietly. She put her head down in her hands and moaned, " Why is she even here in the first place?"
" I don't know, but I'm curious to find out." Robin said, and with that he left.
" So, I guess you and Rae are overruled." Cyborg said with a laugh, " Good luck with that." He got up and left chuckling slightly.
Beast Boy groaned and picked up a pillow. He started hitting his head with it repeating " Stupid" over and over again.
" What is it Friend Beast Boy?" Starfire asked, turning her head slightly to the left, " Is it something you said?"
" No, it's just…oh never mind…" Beast Boy paused and looked up from his pillow. Starfire was smiling her innocent smile, eyes bright and curious, " Well, it's just I have a tendency to like every new girl." He sighed, " When Raven joined last of the 5 original Titans, I have to admit I liked her. Then Terra came and I fell head over heels for her. I just don't want my heart to find another stupid "soul mate" and fall in false love again. It's so stupid." He looked at Starfire again, " I doubt you care though."
" Beast Boy?" Starfire said, " What would make you think I didn't care?" She got up and sat down next to him.
" I don't know. I told Cyborg and he laughed at me. " Beast Boy said, " Said it was mere superstition."
" Well, I think it is very mature for you to tell people about it. It must be very hard to talk about." Starfire said comfortingly, " Well, maybe-"
BEEP BEEP BEEP
" We'll talk later, Beast Boy" Starfire said and flew out of the living room.
" Morning titans, hope you enjoyed that earthquake yesterday." Came a female voice, long blonde hair, and blue eyes like ice. It was Terra and yet again she was terrorizing the city. Her hands were glowing yellow as she met the eyes of 6 people bellow her. One had black hair and a black mask, Robin, Tim Drake. The second had red hair and bright flashing green eyes, Starfire, Kori'andir. The third had green skin and green eyes, Beast Boy, Garfield Logan. The forth had one red eye and half metal body, Cyborg, Victor Stone. The fifth one had dark deep and lonely violet eyes and hands of a black aura, Raven, daughter of Trigon. The last had black eyes and a look on her face of confusion and impatience, Mia Adams, Detective extraordinaire. The Teen Titans (and Mia) stood upon a small piece of rock that was slowly being lifted by a yellow aura.
" Well, if it isn't a new titans?" Terra said with a laugh, " She's pretty scrawny. What's your name, Wimp Girl?" She laughed at her own stupid joke, " Well, are you ganna show me your powers or what?"
" Leave her alone Terra!" Yelled Robin, " It's us you're fighting!" He jumped up from the still moving rock onto Terra's rock podium. He took out his "extendible sticks" and struck Terra with a forceful blow. She swerved and fell off the rock. But, a yellow flash of lightning struck and Terra rose back up on another rock. She laughed and came right at Robin, screaming a triumphant battle cry.
" Why did we bring her?" Beast Boy asked as he and Cyborg lunged in to help Robin, " She's just ganna get in the way!"
" We can't leave her at the tower. We still can't trust her, remember?" Cyborg said in a high squeaky tone, imitating Beast Boy.
"Shut up" Beast Boy said and he changed into a raven and swooped in low, near Terra's eyes. He stretched his claws and scratched her face. Blood came exploding from Terra's cheek. She screamed shrilly. She made a huge bolder fly up and hit Beast Boy down from the sky.
" You Sunshine!" Cyborg yelled as he took his sonic cannon and charged up. His came hurling down from the sky and hit Terra with a punch and a sonic boom. He laughed as her gathered up Robin's scratched up body and started jumping down the falling rocks. He got to the ground and placed him gently on the ground, " Hey Mia!" He called, " Watch him will you?"
Mia looked down from her safety between Starfire and Raven. She knew she couldn't say no so she nodded and Starfire flew her down. All around them the ground was shaking. Terra then erupted from the highest rock, screaming angrily, " What is he starts getting attacked?" Mia asked as Cyborg and Starfire started going towards Terra.
" Holler!" Was all she heard.
Mia sighed and looked down at the unconscious Robin. He looked terrible. But, if she was supposed to be helping him, she still felt pretty useless. She felt like she was only one of those bait look-out people, put out to look for danger, only to scream her last breath when danger arrived. But, nonetheless she knelt down next to Robin and put his head in her lap. Her mind began to wonder again to past time at her father's mansion with her father's mysterious lab creations. How one day she had caught him healing some woman's baby with no medical equipment, just bare hands. He had a glowing red power that made the baby stop crying. She had suspected her father had healing powers, but never really had any proof. Then, she saw it all happen, scaring her so much that she ran all the way to her room on the 5th floor and into her bathroom to cry. She kept on thinking that maybe she could have healing powers, but always thought it too far fetched. " Healing powers would be great right now," She whispered.
BOOM!
Mia looked up quickly and saw two...four flashes of tiny looking atomic bombs. Smoke came rushing around her, swallowing her and Robin both. She tried to look around her but the smoke prevented any vision. Then, the smoke started to clear away. She could see a life form walking towards her, blonde hair swooshing back a forward. Then she could make out two bright blue eyes, and yellow. As yellow power flashing from two hands, portentously growing. Mia's eyes grew in fear as she saw the other Titans unconscious in little creator like holes, smoke rising from their backs. Mia started to get up but felt the weight of a head on her lap. She remembered Robin and quickly tried to pick him up, but she was too small to pick up someone who had been training for two years of his life. She then put his arm around her shoulder and started to walk as fast as she could, dragging Robin's legs on the broken concrete. She tried her best to run but the weight was unbearable. She collapsed under the weight of the body. She found herself belly on the ground, Robins laying on his back right beside her.
" Trying to run are we?" Said Terra harshly. She started making random pebbles fall upon Mia's back, " Never run from Terra! Never run from The Master! NEVER RUN FROM SLADE!" Terra yelled.
Mia's mind though quickly. This Slade guy seemed like a god or something to her. Maybe…She thought then smiled in the dirt, " You're working for him, too?" Mia said cleverly, "Thank God!"
" What?" Terra spat. She bent down next to Mia and pulled her up by her long black hair, " You work for Slade?"
" Yes, I was sent here to spy. Isn't it obvious!" Mia yelled at her. She yanked herself free of Terra. Terra hurriedly helped Mia up, dusting her off. Mia hit her hands away, " Stop it, if you hadn't interrupted, I could have gotten more info!" Mia started raising her voice, "And I wouldn't say anything to Slade about this, or he'll have your hide!"
" Yes, Ma'am!" Terra whimpered. She started backing off, " I'll go report back to head quarters now! Meet you there, Ma'am?"
Mia froze. 'What now?' Mia thought, " Um, Slade said he moved it again, am I right?" Mia said, hoping something had occurred recently that was somewhat related to that.
" Yes, it was move to Bronze Park, 45 ft under the surface. Why?" Terra asked.
" Just needed to remember that, I'll be staying here, need more spying to do." Mia said, trying to sound casual. Man, I'm lucky, She thought, I'm gooooood, " Now, be off."
Terra nodded and flew off on a rock, obviously startled by the fact this Slade had sent a Spy.
Woah, that was really fun! Do you like it? Huh? Huh? Huh?
Read and review, thanks,
