Hello everyone! Terribly sorry this took so long. You see, I had another chapter half written and my compy crashed. So, after much laziness I've decided to continue writing Reconciliation, because I think there's a lot of potential.

As far as Raven's transformation, I promise she will be more in character later on. It's just a matter of time before she starts actually having true human thoughts and everything. Also, I promise that as the story grows and the 'plot thickens', that the chapters will be longer and detailed, with lots of surprises and goodies packed in just for your delight!

Enjoy!

Reconciliation

Chapter Three

Terra knew something was wrong. She lay for a moment in the middleverse between sleep and consciousness, trying to catch the strands of fading dreams which had awoken her. She felt anger, not towards her…

The sound of a door opening startled her completely awake. Grasping her bearings, Terra realized she and Beast Boy had fallen asleep on the floor. Standing, she pulled off the remnants of left over pizza which had become attached to her clothing during the night, and looked for the source of the noise.

Star was standing in the door way of Titan Tower, suitcase in hand. For a moment Terra didn't understand the melancholy look on the Tamaranian's face, but like a whirlwind reality hit her.

"Star?" She asked, worry filling her voice. Beside her leg, Beast Boy mumbled something and turned over in his sleep. Not wanting to wake him, Terra approached Star Fire, worry in her blue eyes. As she drew closer, Terra could see crystalline tears streaming down her friend's face.

"Star Fire…what's wrong?"

For a moment it seemed sorrowful alien would burst into torrential sobbing, such was the pain in her lovely eyes. But the emotion was fleeting, and abruptly Star Fire closed her eyes and raised her chin in a gesture of cold indifference, though the tears remained.

"Nothing is the matter. Robin and I have decided to…" She opened her eyes and with added sarcasm Terra did not understand, spoke the last word of her sentence. "Think."

Before Terra could ask questions, Star had left Titan's Tower.

For a few startled moments the blonde Titan merely stood there, aghast. What could have happened that would tear Star from Robin's side? The two had shown no sign of wanting a divorce, or even a separation.

You know the answer to that. Spoke a sober voice deep inside of her. And she did.

"Raven."

The word hung in the air, as cold and emotionless as Star Fire had attempted to be as she left the Titans several minutes before…

Left the Titans.

Terra snapped to her senses, forcing away the shock of Star's abrupt departure, and entered into a state of sheer panic.

"Garfield!" She cried, running to wake her sleeping lover. "Wake up! Wake up! Star's gone, she left!"

Beast Boy rubbed his eyes, not understanding in his sleep laden mind what Terra was so frantically trying to tell him.

"Wha-? What're you…ew gross! I slept on pizza." Beast Boy grimaced as he pulled the remnants of his own re-microwaved dinner from his clothes.

Terra rolled her eyes in frustration and forced him to stand up, hoping to shake him awake. Once he was standing on his own two feet, she grabbed him by the shoulders and looked him squarely in the eyes.

"Star Fire left."

The sound of a roaring engine told them that the fiery alien had, indeed, gone.

Beast Boy came completely awake, his eyes wide with fear. "She's gone? But…we have to go after her!"

At that moment, there was a cry from somewhere above them. Terra paled and eyed Beast Boy fearfully.

"Robin."

Raven soared over the diamond studded glory of a lake, heading towards the gigantic shining structure at the far edge. An odd feeling had been growing within her recently. An emotion she associated with the image of that handsome human boy…she wasn't sure what it was, but she knew she had to reach that monstrous mountain that loomed ahead. As she flew, she noticed another creature coming swiftly towards her. For a moment she considered turning back and coming later, but…no. This creature did not have the feel of a predator. In truth…it didn't really seem alive at all. Raven watched it warily as she continued determinedly forward. It was large, and now that she was beginning to see it clearly, she could see it wasn't actually heading directly for her. It was going upwards, further up to the sky. As she watched the strange creature-object fly towards the sun, she noted a swift feeling of familiarity with the thing. Something seemed to jump inside her with a pang she couldn't interpret. It was unlike the simple emotions she typically felt; hunger, thirst, fear. This had an oddness about it. As she passed beneath the craft, now shining brightly from the power of the sun, Raven heard a word like the ones humans used in her mind. She couldn't quite understand it, but somehow she knew it had to do with that odd familiar feeling. The word was "Regret." She flew on.

So? What do you think? I REALLY would like some reviews, just to let me know if anyone's actually reading it...sniff

I'm also quite open to any suggestions. I have the basic idea of what's going to happen, but I'd love to hear other people's input. Should there be more BB/Terra stuff? And what would you like to see happen with Star? Just tell me in your review, or email me at .
