Instantly the wind stopped, and everything was silent. The boy approached them. He almost seemed familiar. It was the same boy from the skyscraper. As they could clearly see him now, shivers went up all of their spines. And he finally spoke.
"Where is Terra?"
A look of shock came across everyone's face, especially Beastboy, who had just arrived at the scene.
"Whoever you are, Terra's not here." Beastboy bravely shouted fists clenched.
"Where is she then? I know she's been with you, where is she?" asked the unknown boy
"Friend Terra isn't with us anymore." Starfire blurted out.
"Where is she then?" the boy angrily replied his rage peaking once again as the ground started shaking at the ferocity of the wind, violently encircling him again.
The Titans didn't know what to do at this point. This person claimed to be Terra's brother, but could they tell him the truth about what recently happened to Terra?
"Someone has to tell him what happened." Robin said, thinking to himself about how to present it.
"I will tell you what has happened to Terra since she's been here." Beastboy said as he shakily stepped up to the boy
So Beastboy proceeded to tell him all about Terra's history with them. It greatly pained him to tell about her alliance with Slade, and her now present state, but even more the fun times they had, which were the most painful to reminisce about.
"Where are the remains of her body?" the boy asked, eyes wide, body shaking.
So the Titans lead the still unknown person to Terra's statue. They were all still confused at this point, because they still knew nothing about this person. How were they to trust him? They don't even know his name, let alone if he was telling the truth about Terra.
They finally approached Terra's statue, as the boy rushed up to it in disbelief. They could clearly make out the sound of him sobbing under his breath.
After a few minutes of watching and listening to this, Robin got up the courage to talk to the still unknown boy and ask him the questions that all of them were dying to find out.
"Excuse me...um, how did you know that Terra was here?" Robin asked
"I went through many people, many towns...anything to get information about where my little sister was.
"Well, how did you lose her in the first place?" Robin boldly asked
"I didn't lose her!" he angrily shot back "...She ran away."
Robin sensed this was a touchy subject for the stranger, so he decided to go in a different direction with his questioning.
"Well, what is your name then?" Robin asked
"That's better Robin, I know all of your names. And I'm sorry I've acted so rude to you all, I've just been...I don't know, worried, angry, all of those things over my little sisters disappearance. But anyway, my name's Byrnes. It's nice to meet all of you." He said in a much happier attitude.
"How do you know our names?" Robin curiously asked.
"You've got to be kidding me Robin, everyone knows who the titans are!" trying to hold back his laughter.
"Ever since Slade's henchman killed our parents, all we've wanted to do is become teen titans, although I doubt Terra told you that." Byrnes proudly stated.
"We had no idea she knew of us like that." Beastboy said, as he was deep in thought.
"After all we've been though, she's the one who got to pay back that madman for what he did to us." He proudly said.
"I'm just so proud of my sister for what she did with Slade." He happily said, tears still in his eyes.
A shock came over the Titans at this moment, in disbelief at what he said.
"You're proud of her for obeying that madman and destroying the city and almost destroying us?" Cyborg angrily yelled.
Byrnes looked at him cheerfully and in his normal, kind voice said
"No, I'm not proud of her for that. I'm proud of her for sacrificing her own life for her friends. She always wanted friends, and I tried to be her best friend, but I was always just a big brother to her. You see, our parents were murdered my Slade's henchman when we were young. We escaped them and started new lives far away from our original home. We both had unnatural abilities, our gifts as we called them. But I don't think Terra viewed her ability as a gift. More like a curse...anyway I just always tried to be there like a best friend for her. But she wouldn't tell me everything, and I always felt she was insecure about something, or herself. So 2 years ago, she ran away, and for these past 2 years, I've been getting information on where she might be, and my last source led me here, although they weren't great people. Anyway, I'm just so proud of her, she's finally grown up then. She's not a child like she used to be."
At that he walked up to her statue and placed his hand on her stone shoulder. A single tear ran down his face.
"I'm so glad to see you again Terra, don't worry, we'll be together again soon." He calmly said
"You do not plan on turning yourself into a rock like Terra do you?" Starfire boldly asked.
"No, that probably means me might kill himself to be with her." Raven pointed out.
Byrnes laughed out loud at this statement, clutching his sides he was laughing so hard. The other titans uncomfortably chuckled along with him, still not knowing to expect from Byrnes.
"No, I'm not going to kill myself, I'm just going to bring her back!" Byrnes said under his laughter.
Everyone stepped closer to Byrnes and his consistent laughter. They all had the same question on their minds.
"How will you bring her back?" they all asked at the same time
"It's quite simple for me." Byrnes stated. "You see, I have two different powers. Terra was able to control rocks and boulders and such. But I'm different. I'll explain my powers to you." He proudly stated
Everyone sat down on the ground and listened to Byrnes explain his still unknown powers.
"First off, I can control wind. I can have it lift me up and enable me to fly. I could do the same with any and all of you as well!" He said enthusiastically
"I can command it to blow at anything, lift anything, whatever, at many different velocities. But that's not my greatest weapon. My greatest weapon is not something I was born with, more of an ability I acquired from intensive training."
He then stuck out his hand like before and the flashes of light shot from his hand, revealing the sword made of pure light, shining in his grip.
"Wow it is beautiful!" Starfire said cheerfully
"Well thank you." Byrnes replied "But it is also very deadly. You see, this is called the Shine Reaver. It is formed from pure energy from within my body. It takes many years of practice to get your inner energy into a form outside your body. What it really is is like a piece of your soul. It is that feeling in you that you all have, being Teen Titans and all. That feeling that compels you to do good, to save people. I've trained that inner power to come out in the form of a sword, an energy sword."
Everyone was really into his story now, and paid attention to what he had to say next very closely.
"It has many different uses, well not uses, like...powers. It is very powerful first of all; it can rip through almost anything or anyone. It can rip a hole in space, opening holes to different dimensions, or to the black hell. That is the ultimate punishment. I have opened up a hole to the black hell before, and I'm not even going to start on that. But its greatest power is that of healing. It can heal, revive, or bring people back to life. Or in Terra's case, bring her back to normal."
Everyone was extremely excited about this news and all rushed up to Byrnes.
"Well come on Byrnes, cure her!" Beastboy excitedly said.
"Wait, I don't know if we should or not...yet." Raven said quietly. "Remember what she did. She worked for Slade, and could still be under his control."
"Raven, Slade is dead!" Robin stated, "He'll never bother us again, he's gone for good! So we don't have to worry about him."
"You're right, but what if she still hates us, remember she tried to kill us!" Raven coldly said.
"NO!" Beastboy shouted "She sacrificed her life for us! She would never think of hurting us again, she just wants us to like her! Give her a second chance, she deserves a second chance!"
"Alright, lets bring her back then!" They all excitedly stated.
"Ok." Byrnes said. "Here goes nothing!"
