Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans. I own Byrnes. This chapter is supposed to be filled with happines and remenicing about old times between Terra and Beastboy, but someone has to ruin the mood right?

Peace Then Worries

This was the happiest atmosphere Titans Tower had seen in a long time. Everyone was back and in a great mood. Especially Beastboy, who was inseparable from Terra, who he had felt miserable without during the months of her absence.

Terra had told them all about her dream of life while she was locked inside her stone prison. All about the dreams of her childhood, Byrnes, Slade, and the titans. Nothing could ruin this night for any of them. Even Raven was in a good mood as they laughed at all of Beastboy's jokes that night. Even Byrnes got in on many of the jokes as he told his own. His favorite goes like this:

"A man calls the animal control from his town because there is a crazed gorilla on his roof. Soon the animal control truck gets there. And an old man walks out with a baseball bat, a dog, and a gun. He hands the man the gun and says: Okay, here's what we're going to do. I'm going to go up on your roof and threaten the gorilla with the baseball bat until he falls off. When he falls off, the little dog will bite his balls until he's incapacitated. Great, says the man. But what is the gun for? Well, replied the animal control guy, if I fall off instead of the gorilla, shoot the dog!"

This had everybody in tears, laughing for minutes as hard as they could. Raven laughed the hardest. She hadn't laughed in a very long time. Around 2 that night, they all decided to go to bed, Terra back in her old room, and Byrnes occupied the futon couch.

That night, Beastboy was awake for a 5 in the morning snack. He patrolled the kitchen quietly, so he wouldn't wake up Byrnes. After he had pigged out the remains of a pizza that Cyborg had planned to eat tomorrow, he went up to the top of Titans Tower, deciding not to go back to sleep, and enjoy the sunrise.

"Beastboy?" Terra asked as he found a seat on the edge of the roof.

"Terra, what are you doing up here this late...or early...whatever." Beastboy replied

"Well, I couldn't sleep. Not after all that fun. I never knew my brother had such a sense of humor. He never told a joke in the old days." She said, eyes closed trying to remember some of the old days with Byrnes.

"Why, didn't you get along with him?" Beastboy asked, yawning.

"Well, I'm not going to say I didn't get along with him, I loved him dearly. But all he did was train and train and train every day and practically all night, trying to perfect this weapon he kept talking about. Shine Reaver or something like that." She said jealously.

"Terra, he has perfected that weapon." Beastboy said, filling her in.

"He has? How do you know that?" Terra asked.

"Terra, that is what he saved you with. He used its rejuvenating powers to free you!" Beastboy excitedly said.

"Wow, and I had no idea that he was able to control it. I left before he had even formed it, because all he did was train and study. He never paid attention to me...Well he tried. He tried to be my best friend, but I didn't have any friends, being a freak and all with my powers. So we stayed to ourselves, only he would train all the time and I would do nothing. So I suppose I got bored, and decided to leave, wanting to strengthen my control of my powers." Terra said, remembering all that had happened

"But Terra, why didn't you just ask your brother to help you? You could just train with him and develop your control!" Beastboy pointed out to Terra

"I've just recently realized that Beastboy. But instead I ran away like a dumb little girl and had him worried sick looking for me those 2 years. That proves that he cared about me. He stopped training to search for me. Although, I guess he had already summoned the Shine Reaver, or he was still working on it. But I know that he loved me and still does, so I feel like an even greater fool now." Terra said, as her eyes started to water.

"He thought you hated him..." Beastboy said softly.

"I never hated him, I don't know what I was thinking. He was the only one who really loved me and cared for me. Well, before I met you." Terra said happily

"Beastboy, I'm just...so sorry about not telling you about Slade, I still feel horrible about what I did, to you. And to the others. I'm surprised that they've welcomed me so warmly, but it seems like they care for me too." She said thinking to herself

"We'll always be here for you Terra. And I promise I'll never leave you again. I was wrong when I said you had no friends Terra. And I want to be the best friend I can be for you." Beastboy said warmly.

At that, he slowly put his arm around her shoulder, hoping that she wouldn't block him or scoot out of the way. But instead, she embraced him.

"Thank you Beastboy, for being a great friend."

At that, the sun started to shine above the horizon. They watched the beautiful sunrise together, which seemed to last an eternity.

Terra slowly slipped into a dream as she lay in Beastboy's arms. The dream wasn't as pleasant as the reality she was missing out on. She saw Slade once again, reaching for her. He was in his domain, and looked as if he had suffered no injuries whatsoever. She then saw herself in her fight with Slade as he slipped into the magma. What she saw this time, was the mask sparking as it was going under. Like a decoy, like an imposter. Then she heard his voice slip into her mind.

"Terra, you're back and so am I. I'm coming for you Terra. Be ready, because you'll pay the ultimate price for betraying me. YOU CAN'T REST IN THE ARMS OF YOUR FRIENDS FOREVER!" Slade spoke threateningly

She woke up suddenly, in the arms of Beastboy. The sun had risen, and it seemed like he was only half asleep.

"Beastboy wake up!" Terra worriedly said.

At that Beastboy snapped too and looked her in the eyes.

"Well, good morning!" he said enthusiastically

"Beastboy! Slade is alive!" Terra shakily said to him.

"You're kidding me!" Beastboy said, "Slade is dead, you killed him yourself!"

"No Beastboy, he's alive. I saw him. It wasn't really him I was fighting. It was an imposter. He's alive, and he's coming for me." She said, clearly frightened.

"Well, we have to tell Robin and the others!" Beastboy said as he jumped up and proceeded to rush to the elevator back to the sleeping area, with Terra close behind him.

"Robin!!!!!!" Beastboy yelled at the top of his lungs.

"Byrnes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Raven!!!!!! Cyborg!!!!!!!!! Star!!!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed so loud his throat began to hurt.

They all rushed out of their respective rooms, all in their PJ's many still half asleep, looking around to try to find the source of the problem. So Terra proceeded to tell them about her vision, with Beastboy's support. At that, Robin rushed to the computer room, and did a search for Slade. He could not be found.

"Then the computer just can't find him, because I know what I killed wasn't Slade, it was a decoy!" Terra yelled at them.

"You may be right Terra, I fought a Slade decoy once, so it could possibly be another." Robin said recalling his incident with the Slade imposter.

"I know how to find him if he is still alive." Raven said calmly

So they all followed Raven to her room, which anyone hardly ever entered, and she shut the door. No lights were on, so Beastboy bumped into something, jamming his toe and yelping in pain. A light flickered on as Raven stared angrily at him.

"You must be quiet!" She growled at him through gritted teeth

Beastboy nodded in understanding as he sat quietly with the others.

White smoke filled the room as they all saw into the mind of Slade. He was alive, and he knew they were in his mind. What they saw was an unoccupied building downtown, which seemed to invite them in.

"That is where he is." Raven stated.

"Then we have to go there, and kill him for good!" Robin said, as the smoke cleared.

WELL, THERE'S CHAPTER 4. I'LL START WRITING ON CHAPTER 5 RIGHT NOW. WHERE THEY GO TO HUNT DOWN SLADE ONCE AND FOR ALL...UNSURE OF WHAT AWAITS THEM. R&R. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING!
