Lost Memories
Slade glanced around his surroundings, narrowed eyed, unaware. He spied the spot where Terra once stood in stone, and then groaned. She was no longer there.
In some ways, he had expected it. But in others, he expected her to stay there forever.
Slade had gotten out of his own fiery grave a few months before – he had been released by sources of greater evil, ones whom he now called master. When he left the cave, he had felt a fleeting sensation when he looked at Terra, an unexplainable one.
But now things were becoming clearer.
All of Terra's memories were suddenly his.
Slade could close his eyes, and try to picture a certain night, and there it would be. He didn't get why he had these images; at first they frightened him, but now he saw he could use them to his advantage.
Terra was out of stone. He was out of lava. And now she had no choice but to bow down before him, and serve him like the good little apprentice he tried to make her become.
Terra stared out the window, becoming lost in her own thoughts. The great blue sky, the mountains over the horizon… She felt a strange comfort when she looked at them.
The sky… The mountain… The ocean… The earth…
The earth is my home!
Terra grinned when she thought this. The earth was her home. But was that meant literally? Or that she simply lived on earth?
She placed her hand to her forehead, feeling a headache come on. It happened whenever she thought too much, whenever she tried to remember things. Robin had come in her room the night before, when she was suffering from another headache, and told her that.
Robin… Her face flushed at the thought of him. Was she sure that she liked Beast Boy? She could've sworn that Robin and her were closer…
"Terra?" Beast Boy popped his head in her room. "Are you coming? We all made lunch for you."
Terra whipped her head around, smiling gently at him. "Thanks, BB. I'll be there in a minute."
Beast Boy nodded, blushing slightly. He then closed the door again, leaving Terra alone.
Terra closed her eyes again, and a picture of Beast Boy materialized in her mind. He was gripping onto something… a rock perhaps? He was saying something… begging something…
Just like that, a picture of Slade replaced Beast Boy. He was sneering down at her, yelling, calling her a coward. A few nights ago, she had come to understand that she was once evil, but now, she was confused again. Why was she evil? Especially if she was a titan!
Terra opened her eyes and exhaled deeply, deciding to think about it later. Maybe she would ask Robin or Beast Boy.
Just maybe.
