A computer generated voice started to blare through the tower. "All Titans report to the infirmary. All Titans report to the infirmary. All Titans report to the infirmary."
The door swished open as Cyborg and the rest of the team came rushing in.
"Somebody do something, he fainted."
"He what?"
"He fainted after I told him about you and Jinx."
"YOU WHAT?"
"Forget that, he just woke up after a decade and then fainted. He never fainted before. No matter what you told him."
"Right." Cyborg rushed over to the main console that controlled the various pieces of equipment in the room. After a brief but thorough scan Cyborg could make but one conclusion. "He's fine. He just fainted. You kind of have to expect this. He hasn't been around for the last ten years and that kind of shock is enough to do that to anyone. If I had been in a coma and woken up to find out that Raven and him were dating I would have fainted. It's just a normal reaction."
"Okay, I'm sorry for scaring you all."
Nightwing looked at her. "Don't be. He just woke up from a serious head injury. It was a perfectly justified reaction."
Terra looked down at her hand. Hidden underneath the glove was her ring. "Look, Beastboy thinks I should tell you something."
Nightwind looked at her. "Is it something important?"
"Yeah," Terra fidgeted as she worked up the nerve to tell them. "I'm getting married."
Several jaws dropped at this. "What the heck, He just woke up from a coma and he asked you to marry him? I'm doing another scan." Cyborg walked back toward the console.
"Dude, I'm not that crazy. I'm just the first one she told."
Cyborg turned to face Terra. "You're getting married? And you didn't tell us till now?"
"Well, I started dating him a couple of years back."
Cyborg looked at his best friend. "And you're okay with this?"
"I'm not in love with her. I'd just told her before she informed me about her upcoming marriage."
Cyborg looked between the two. "I'm going to bed. I have to be dreaming."
Beastboy looked around at his friends. "What do you have to complain about? I was the one who just lost ten years of my life."
Nightwing stepped up and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "We understand. To you it's only been a day since you last saw your friends, but we've grown and changed. It's going to take some getting used to."
"You've got no idea." Beastboy's eyes involuntarily started to run up Raven's legs. "Terra, do you mind staying for a while? You have some idea what I'm going through."
"Yeah, sure." The rest of the Titans went their separate ways to allow him some time to adjust.
"So, what do you want to talk about?"
"You said you spent a lot of time visiting me. What kind of stuff did you do?"
"Nothing much, Sometimes I brought a book and read to you. But a lot of the time I just talked. It was kind of nice having someone to listen to me. Even if he was asleep. Not sure if you can understand that."
"Trust me, I do. Whenever I was depressed or just had something on my mind I'd come to talk to you. It had become a pretty regular thing before I was injured. How'd that happen anyway? It's kind of blurry."
"They told me it was a fight with Adonis."
"Dang, again with Adonis. How many times is he going to mess my life up."
"What do you mean?"
"You don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Back during one of our early fights with him we both got doused in some chemicals. It unleashed something, primal, something violent. At the time I was being a real jerk, then something else happened. I changed into a monster. There was almost nothing left of me. For a little bit we even thought I had attacked Raven." A look of pain crossed his face. "It hurt a lot that I could have attacked a friend. It turned out that the chemicals had the same effect on Adonis. It was him that attacked Raven."
"Geez, rough."
"You have no idea."
Terra's eyes brightened for a second. "You didn't tell me how you figured out that you weren't in love with me."
Beastboy shifted nervously. "It was pretty simple. I fell in love. I thought I was, back when you were around, but this made what we had look like a candle compared to the sun."
"Who was it?"
"Doesn't matter. She was way out of my league. I couldn't even talk to her seriously. I knew that it was impossible but I couldn't help myself. I loved her, and she barely noiced I was alive."
"Don't be so sure."
"What do you mean?"
"It was Raven, wasn't it?"
Beastboy's face took on an expression of shock. "Raven, no, not at all, what would make you think something like that.
Terra kept a level gaze at him. "Tell the truth."
Beastboy dropped his head. "Yeah, it was Raven. Stupid, huh? What could we possibly have. We don't have anything in common. Besides, she hates me."
"She didn't hate you. You annoyed the hell out of her. but she didn't hate you."
"How could you know?"
"Because out of all of us, She was the one who was there the most. We all visited you like three times a week, Well, all except Jinx. She didn't know you after all. Out of all of us, she missed you the most."
"Well, she might have missed me but that doesn't mean we had a chance. Speaking of chances, you never told me Mr. Right's name."
Terra blushed slightly. "He's a great guy, I think you'd like him. His name's Garfield Logan."
Beastboy's jaw dropped.
