ravenfairie: Yeah, I felt I needed a little more between the two to make a smoother transition, and this seemed like a good one

Replies to Chapter One
ravenfairie: Yeah, I was hoping to go for somethinga little different. I wanted to bring Terra back, but I didn't want her to have a shot at Beast Boy, so I thought I'd mix it up a bit.

rochwen90: Well there is definitely gonna be a little scuffle between the two teams over takin down a bad guy...not quite sure how its gonna play out yet. As for the name Falcon...at first, since Beast Boy was named after his dad, I considered naming Robin's daughter Robin...but the name doesnt work the same way for a girl...too whimpy, I wanted this character to be a real tough one. Then I thought about Hawk, but that was just lame. After like a ton of different names, I settled on Falcon, it seemed to fit a girl character and still give off a bit of a threatening tone.

Chapter Two: Training Day

By the time Beast Boy made it back to the Tower, the others had already gone to sleep. He morphed into a hawk and flew up to his bedroom window. On the ledge, he morphed back into his normal form and slid the glass pane open. He stepped down into his room and shut the window. Beast Boy jumped as a voice cut through the silence, "Welcome home." He wheeled around as the lights clicked on and saw Terra standing in the corner. Beast Boy glared at her, "What are you doing in my room?" Terra pushed herself off the wall and stepped forward, "Waiting for you." Beast Boy moved toward his bed, "Well, I'm here. You can leave now." Terra shook her head, "Sorry Beast Boy, it doesn't work that way."

Best Boy glared at her, "This is my room..." Terra returned his cold stare, "And it's my team. If you want to be part of it, you gotta learn to trust me, Beast Boy." Beast Boy smirked, "Heh, good luck." He plopped down on his bed and Terra stepped closer, "I don't want to kick you off, Beast Boy…but if you won't cooperate with the rest of us, I'm gonna have to." Beast Boy leaned back on his bed, "Whatever." Terra shook her head and walked toward the door. She stopped inside the doorway and looked back at Beast Boy, "We start training tomorrow at six." She looked at the clock next to Beast Boy's bed, "That's four hours…better get some sleep." She turned and left the room. Beast Boy mumbled to himself as he rolled over and went to sleep.

The next morning, the Titans gathered on the roof top of the Tower. It was six in the morning, and the sun had just started to creep above the horizon. Beast Boy mumbled to himself as he stood in the cold morning air. Warlock shook his head, "She's crazy…I'm convinced." Terra glared at him, "Who you callin crazy?" Warlock grinned and said nothing. Terra shook her head and smiled, "Anyway…I know you guys are ready to kill me right now," she turned to Beast Boy and smirked, "but we gotta do this." She turned back to the others, "We're gonna be a lot stronger as a team if we know each other's strengths and weaknesses." She smiled slightly, "And the best way to learn that is with a little one on one." Vortex jumped in, "Are you sayin we 'ave to fight each other?" Terra nodded, "Yeah." Falcon smirked, "Heh, sounds fun."

Terra glanced back and forth between the other Titans, "Ok, let's do it. Falcon, Warlock…you guys pair off. The winner takes Vortex." Warlock turned to Terra, "What about you?" Falcon shoved him playfully, "What do you think?" Warlock glanced over at Beast Boy and turned back to Terra. Terra smiled and nodded. Warlock returned the smile, "Take him down…"

Terra looked over at Beast Boy, "You wanna join the rest of us?" Beast Boy looked up and glared at her. Terra smirked, "Come on Beast Boy, you and me, let's go." Beast Boy's head jerked up, "Huh?" Terra smiled, "You and me…one on one." Beast Boy walked over slowly, "You can't be serious." Terra nodded, "Totally." Se lifted a small pebble off the rooftop and threw it at him. It bounced gently off of his head and he growled. Terra grinned, "You know you want to do this." Beast Boy shook his head.

Terra shrugged as she started launching pebbles in his direction. They pelted his whole body gently but he refused to move. Beast Boy watched her with an icy stare. Terra laughed slightly, "Heh, come on Beast Boy." Suddenly Beast Boy charged forward up and morphed into a cheetah. Terra gasped and jumped to the side as Beast Boy charged forward. He ran past her and skidded to a halt. Terra laughed, "There ya go." Beast Boy turned and growled at her. He leapt at her and curled into a ball as he morphed into an armadillo. He slammed into Terra's stomach and knocked the wind out of her.

Terra slumped to the ground and gasped for air. "Nice hit," she grunted between pained breaths. Beast Boy smirked and started walking away. Terra kicked her foot out and knocked Beast Boy's legs out. She jumped up and pinned him to the ground with her knee, "You'll have to do better than that." Beast Boy pushed her off and roared as he morphed into a T-Rex. Terra stepped back and jumped up as a small boulder floated under her feet. She flew backwards and dodged a blow from Beast Boy's massive tail. She hovered for a moment and lifted a pair of rocks from the island around the Tower. Terra flew towards Beast Boy as she threw the rocks in his direction.

Beast Boy morphed back to his normal form and the rocks sailed over his head. Terra flew past him and turned around. Beast Boy stood motionless on the rooftop of Titans Tower. He watched Terra with an unbroken stare. Terra grinned as she soared toward Beast Boy. As she neared her target, Terra prepared to strike. Then, before she had a chance to react, Beast Boy morphed into a T-Rex and swung his tail at her. Beast Boy slammed into Terra full force.

Terra lost consciousness the instant Beast Boy's tail struck. Her limp body flew off the rock and sailed over the edge of the Tower. Warlock jumped forward, "Terra!" He suddenly vanished into thin air. The others gasped. Moments later, Warlock returned holding Terra's helpless body in his arms. Falcon stared wide-eyed at him, "Warlock, since when can you…" Warlock cut her off, "There's a lot about me you don't know." He reached his arms out toward Falcon, "Can you take her inside? I need to talk to Beast Boy." Falcon nodded and took Terra from Warlock. She headed into the Tower and Vortex followed behind her. Warlock turned to Beast Boy who was standing near the edge of the roof. Warlock growled as he came up behind Beast Boy, "What the hell were you thinkin?" Beast Boy didn't respond. Warlock asked him again, "Beast Boy! What were you thinkin?" Beast Boy turned around and stared at Warlock, "She wanted to fight."

Warlock glared at him, "You fought her like she was some criminal!" Beast Boy nodded, "Well, she is." Warlock punched Beast Boy in the stomach. The green teenager slumped to the ground and gasped for air. He looked up at Warlock, "What are you doing?" Warlock grabbed Beast Boy's shoulder and threw him to the middle of the roof. "You and me Beast Boy! One on one!" Beast Boy stood up shakily, "I'm not fightin you Warlock." He started walking toward the door. Suddenly he felt a rope tighten around his neck and yank him back toward Warlock. Beast Boy reached up to his throat, but there was nothing there. He stood up and turned to Warlock, "What was that?" Warlock smirked, "One of my little 'tricks.'" He moved toward Beat Boy, "You are gonna fight me. Whether you want to or not."

Beast Boy stood up and turned toward the door. As he started to move, Warlock kicked Beast Boy's legs out from under him. Beast Boy grunted as he hit the ground hard. Warlock came and stood over Beast Boy, "I don't know what your problem is, but it ends here!" Warlock glared at Beast Boy, "Sooner or later, you are gonna need to realize something, Terra is in charge, and she is not a criminal!" Beast Boy stood up slowly, "Say what you want Warlock. It doesn't mean I have to agree with you." Warlock punched Beast Boy in the stomach again. Beast Boy doubled over in pain and slumped to his knees. Beast Boy stared up at Warlock, "Whose side are you on?" Warlock ignored him as he walked away and left Beast Boy alone on the roof.

Yeah...Warlock is a bit unorthadox in some ways...it's all because of his past, which will be made clearer later, I promise, even if I have tocgo anddo a background story for all my new characters

As always, read, review, and point out the errors...

Now, I want to do something different, and let you readers into my creative process. I problydon't write my stories like most people do. It's hard to explain how I do it, but I think it's cool.
First, when I have time to myself, like at night, I'll come up with conversations my characters will have by being the different characters in my story. I'll whisper to myself how I want different things to sound, and what I want the characters to say. Often, I repeat different parts of the conversations a bunch of times with different characters, and or attitudes. When I finally settle on something I like, I thenwrite everything in between. And the things I make a character do while saying a certain line, is a direct result of how I said the line itself...yeah like I said...I'm weird. I'm 18 years old, andI still talk to myself...but hey, it makes for what I think are pretty good stories...anyway, sorry if i scared ya

Just on a side not...maybe i should see a doctor...lol...hope I haven't scared you away from my writing with this...
