Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans. I do own Byrnes though. H'e an OC. In this chapter, Byrnes attempts to revive his long lost sister Terra. I hope you like it.

Rejuvination

The Shine Reaver shone brightly in the hands of Byrnes as he slowly approached the statue of his sister Terra. All the titans were amazed at just the site of the sword in his hands, seemingly made of pure light. Deep down, Beastboy truly wished for Terra to come back, but he also thought of the consequences. How would she react to her revival? Would she be forgiven and stay with the titans, or run away in a teary rage? And would Byrnes's shiny sword even bring her back from this state? Well he would soon find out.

"Byrnes...will your sword really work?" Beastboy asked fingers crossed.

"I hope so." Byrnes replied, his eyes closed in deep meditation.

"I need silence so I can concentrate, ok guys?" Byrnes asked softly

All the titans knew that he had to concentrate to unlock the depths of the swords power, especially Raven whose meditations seem similar to Byrnes'.

"Wait!" Beastboy yelled just as Byrnes was about to reveal the depths of the power of the Shine Reaver.

He ran up to Terra and grabbed the plaque that read: Terra A Teen Titan A True Friend, and held it tightly as he walked back to the others. He set the plaque on the ground next to him. At this, Byrnes resumed his meditation, eyes closed, and deep in thought.

Just then, Byrnes's eyes shot open, shining an unearthly white light. He placed the sword upon the head of his sister's statue. Everything was silent. Nothing made a sound, not the birds, not the trees, not the wind. It seemed the surroundings had been muted. As they all watched in silence, the sword started a strange pulsing. They could hear a very loud heartbeat, apparently coming from the sword. Everything surrounding them seemed to shift, as reality was bending before their eyes. Just as the beating seemed to peak in volume, Byrnes removed the sword from Terra's brow as sound and stability returned to the world.

"It didn't work!" Beastboy shouted angrily.

"Just wait...and see." Byrnes shot back with a sparkle in his eye as he stepped away from the statue.

At this point, a small shining crack ran down the front of the statue. Small cracks appeared to grow out of the main crack, as cracks grew out of them. The whole statue was soon lighted up, as they all shielded their eyes from the bright light. After a minute in this state, the rocky cocoon crumbled, revealing Terra standing in the same position she was left in.

"Terra!" Beastboy shouted in pure bliss as he raced up to his renewed friend.

Terra glanced at Beastboy half consciously. A smile appeared on her face before she collapsed in his arms.

The rest of the titans raced up to the unconscious Terra as Byrnes slowly walked backwards, away from the group.

"Are you alive friend Terra?" Starfire asked as tears ran down her face.

"Hey... Hey!" Cyborg shouted at the top of his lungs with his hand on her shoulder.

"Guys, she's unconscious. Lets take her back to her room in the tower to rest." Beastboy quietly said to his friends.

"Hey Byrnes, you can stay with us tonight." Robin said, but to know one, since Byrnes had seemingly disappeared.

"Guys! Byrnes is gone!" Robin shouted to the group walking to the direction of Titans Tower.

Raven quickly turned around and rushed to where Byrnes was last seen, and shouted his name many times.

"Hey Raven, what's the hurry?" Cyborg asked at Ravens rushing to the scene of the crime.

"Oh...nothing, I just...didn't want him to leave without saying goodbye I suppose." Raven shyly and quietly answered.

"Well, I'm sure he'll be back to see Terra soon." Cyborg said confidently with a smile on his face.

"I guess you're right." Raven said as her old attitude appeared to come back.

So Beastboy carried Terra back to Titans Tower in the form of a majestic white horse, as the others followed not far behind.

Byrnes watched from a safe distance as Beastboy carried his unconscious sister back to Titans Tower, as the others followed. He had Terra's plaque held closely to his heart.

"Terra?" Byrnes said to himself, looking at the plaque, doubting that his sister even realized what he had done, or even noticed him as he walked away. He wanted to see his sister so bad, but he was also reluctant to face her. After all, she ran away from him. He didn't know if she even wanted to see him. He didn't know how she'd react to him.

"I'll talk to her...eventually. Once she wakes up, I'll go to her." Byrnes said to himself.

"Well why don't you just come with us now?" asked Raven from behind him.

Byrnes jumped as he heard the voice of Raven behind him, and turned around embarrassedly to face her.

"What are you doing out here?" Byrnes asked Raven

"I was about to ask you the same thing." She replied.

"I'm sorry, I'm just...afraid to see my sister. I don't know how she'll react to me. I don't know if she'll want me to be around you all." Byrnes sadly said

"What makes you think she doesn't want to see you?" Raven asked looking him dead in the eyes.

"She hates me...that's why she ran away from me and what was left of our home. She wanted to leave that life behind, along with her older brother." Byrnes said, eyes now on the ground recalling his past.

"It's ok, I'm sure she'll appreciate all the loving faces she gets when she wakes up." Raven kindly said.

"Thank you. I get a feeling that you act differently around me than you do the rest of the team. Is it me, or something I did?" he asked now directing his attention to Raven.

"No, nothing you did, I just feel like...you're not like them. You give off a strange aura...like me." Raven truthfully said.

"Wow, I get the same feeling from you, like we're different somehow." Byrnes happily replied.

"So, will you come back to the tower and stay with us until Terra wakes up?" Raven kindly asked.

Byrnes hesitated for a moment, unsure of what he should do. But he agreed to stay with the titans to await his sisters awakening.

So Raven and Byrnes walked back to the tower together. He was greeted kindly by all the other titans and encouraged to stay. He once again reluctantly agreed. They were all up late that night. Byrnes playing video games with Beastboy and Cyborg, Raven sitting close by, reading, and from time to time, glancing at Byrnes. Starfire and Robin sat at a nearby table, talking amongst themselves. Beastboy would try to make an excuse, every 30 minutes or so, to go through the hall where Terra's room was, and peek inside to see if she was awake yet. And every time, Byrnes would follow him, but know one would see him. They would think he was sitting right next to Cyborg still playing video games. The mind is an easy thing to deceive...

Terra awoke the next morning, or afternoon, as it was 1:00 pm when she got up.

At first she thought she was dreaming, as she did in her stone cocoon. She was living in the dream. Living out her life. From her childhood with her parents, to their death by the hands of Slade's henchman, to her living with her brother for so many years. All up to her meeting with the titans, and her alliance with Slade, looking for control of her powers. She looked around her room, realizing that this was not a dream. That it was real.

She got out of bed, but collapsed to her knees. She hoisted herself up with the help of her bed and looked around. She saw the heart shaped mirror that Beastboy had given her so long ago. She opened it up, and inside found pictures of herself and Beastboy, that he had apparently put there. As she touched the pictures, she fell in and out of consciousness, seeing Slade reaching for her. As if he wasn't dead. She snapped back to reality, the pictures lying on the ground next to the mirror. She lovingly picked them up and placed them in the mirror box, setting them on her bed. As she was stumbling towards the door she noticed a plaque, dedicated to her. Her eyes watered as she looked at it. She didn't know if she could face them... She then walked around, trying to find her friends. But she just thought to herself

"WHAT IF THEY DON'T WANT ME HERE? WHAT IF THEY DON'T LIKE ME? THEN WHY AM I HERE? HOW DID I COME BACK? WHERE WAS I?

She heard their voices from outside, as they were all sitting on a blanket, eating a picnic lunch. Just then, she saw a familiar face stare up at her. The boy then jumped up, and flew off into the clouds. She felt like she knew him, but then again, she didn't know who he was. She raced downstairs to go outside and face her friends.

"Where are you going dude?" Beastboy yelled after him, but it was too late.

"He'll be back...sometime." Raven said to the others. "I know he will."

A few minutes later, interrupting their confusion, Terra walked out the door of the tower, head down, walking towards them. Beastboy spotted her first, and ran full speed to meet her. The others weren't far behind, with smiles a mile wide on all their faces. Except Raven's whose smile was an inch maybe. Beastboy gave her a huge hug as soon as she got within his reach, and she halfheartedly hugged him back.

"Terra, it's so good to see you!" Beastboy said through her halfhearted hug.

She looked around and saw all the happy faces, and started to cry.

"Why are you crying?" Beastboy asked caringly, wrapping his arms around her closer

She broke the hug and stepped back.

"I almost killed all of you, and yet you're treating me like normal." Terra said shockingly.

"We're not treating you like normal." Cyborg said. "We can never do that again. But we do care, and are happy that you're ok."

"No!" It can't happen like this, I didn't want to be brought back! I can't face you! I hate whoever or whatever brought me back!" Terra shouted angrily through her tears.

At that she ran through them all, and tried to summon a boulder to carry her away. She couldn't do it. She realized that after the time in her rocky afterlife, her powers had gotten weaker, until she couldn't even lift a tiny pebble. She would have to train vigorously to get them back. So she ran instead, as fast as she could, away from them all. With eyes closed, tears streaming from them, she blindly ran into another person. She looked up, tears pouring from her face, into the empty look of her brother.

"I brought you back Terra." Byrnes said choking back his tears. "You still hate me..."

He couldn't hold it back anymore as a tear ran down his face at the fact that his sister still hated him, now more than ever. He turned and started to walk away, covering his tears, when he heard Terra softly say

"Byrnes? Byrnes is that really you?" Terra said, face damp from tears.

"Yes it's me, but you wont have to see me anymore, I'm sorry for bothering you." Byrnes said as he started to hover above the ground, preparing to fly away.

But before he could propel himself up into the sky, Terra grabbed his boot, hugging his dangling leg.

"Don't go Byrnes! Don't leave!" Terra screamed at him.

"But you said it yourself Terra, you hate me." Byrnes said, now back on the ground.

"I don't hate you Byrnes." Terra said happily. "I love you."

At that she fell into his arms, crying on his shoulder. Byrnes returned the hug, as all the titans gathered around them, all getting in on the hug, relieved to see their long lost friend was going to be ok.
