Frist Love Lost

Chapter 3:Delay

D. Montgomery: Once again your review was short and sweet, thanks, here's your update.

Jaime Snyder:Thanks for your glowing review, I'm glad to see we have new people reading yuri's (The more people read them, the more people write them) I'm glad you found my story interesting though. As for the whole 'Beastboy & Raven, always together', I've never been a huge fan of that piticular genre, I relate to Raven alot more then any other person (real or animated)on TV and in real life...and I'm a guy, so reading a fic where Raven's with a guy is kinda creepy. Any way, thank's for the review, I hope you continue to read (And review)

lady-of-tormentdeath:Thank's for your review, I'm glad you like my story despite the fact that you like Raven/Starfire fic's more. Truth be told I like Raven/Any girl fic's pretty much equally. But there are so few Terra/Raven stories(Only one other that I know of 'True awakening') that I decided to do one of these first. If you have any sugested reading I'd love to hear it, I can't find and new yuri's. As for Raven being out of character...I know, but to have Raven in love at all requires a certain amount of OC.

sno B:Wow...well I guees I should address your concerns one at a time(This will be long). First off, so I can write when ever I like I type out all my stories on a very old labtop...like so old it only has notepad and wordpad, so I don't have those line's...and I'm a terrible speller so I think I've been doing pretty good so far. As for my writing style...I write how I talk, so it's like I'm telling you a story that really happened to your face. As for getting a beta reader, that would slow down my update time, and I'm going on a trip over the summer vacation so I'll only be able to type on my labtop, I wont be able to update untill next school year. Plus your the only one that has a problem, all my other reviews have been filled with praise. Also, I didn't think I needed to put an AU in the story...I pretty much thought that by saying this was a yuri people would be smart enough to figure out that people would be out of character...appently I was wrong. And Starfire doesn't talk like Yoda all the time, I bet your one of those people tht would have her saying everything jumbled up...she only does that for certain things, not everything. I also thought this would be a good time to point out that you told me to "try to pay attenetion to those green and red sguiggles"...now I may have "atrocious grammar and spelling" but even I know that "Attenetion" should be spelt "Attention". Lastly I want everyone who care's anywhere near as much that "A lot" is two word as this person to please say so in a reveiw.

Authors Note:First off, I want to amend the timeline, lets make it 2 month's in titans tower before Terra betrayed them. And I also want to apolgize for the fight scene in this chapter, I didn't want to go through the actually fight...you'll see what I mean when you read it.And I suppose I sould say(Because so many people have mentioned it)that Raven will once again be out of character.

"I wont believe it!"Beastboys voice was heard clear even through the metal door that seperated him and Robin from the rest of the titans, who where in the main room now.

"Well, your gonna' have to, because I'm pretty sure it's true.."Robin's voice was no where near as loud as Beastboy's but still audiable through the door.

"How could it be! Terra wasn't gay!She loved me, you guy's all saw us together"Beastboy was now sounding more frustrated then angry

"What we saw were two close friends, you and Terra never did go on any date's, and how could you possibly know wether she was gay or not! From the sound of Raven's story...Terra wasn't to sure about it her self..."Raven could not hear anything after that, but she was sure Robin let out one of his sigh's.

Apparantly they decided to lower there voice's because they didn't hear the rest of the conversation, and it was a few minute's before the door opened and they came in from the hallway.

They both looked tierd.

"Is everything alright man?"Cyborg asked sitting up from the couch

"Not 100, but we wont be having any attacks...right Beastboy?"

"Hey I'm not inhuman"Beastboy said looking offended

"Dude, you kinda' are"Cyborg said with a smirk, he was trying to lighten the mood.

Beastboy just scoweled at him, untill Robin elbowed him in the ribs.

Beastboy, while rubbing his rib cage, turned to Raven and said"I'm sorry, I souldn't have snapped at you..."

Raven was surprised, though she didn't let that show on her face. "That all right Beastboy...it was understandable. You were in love with her..."

"And apparently so were you"Beastboy said with a small grin, as his mind was filled with image's as his perversion took over despite his jealousy for a moment."And I do have to admit you two spent alot of time together...especially near the end..."

When Beastboy looked up, Raven was no longer looking at him, she was looking to the floor, she had tears in her eye's.

When Raven realised Beastboy had noticed the tears she looked up "Sorry, I'v been treating the whole time up to now like she was on a trip...that she would come back to me...but now I have to face facts...she's gone"Raven's lip was quivering by the end.

Beastboy just nodded understandingly

And in that moment Beastboy knew, Raven and Terra had been in love...

"Raven?"Robin called to her through her door, they had decided that someone would sleep out side her door to keep an eye on her.

"What is it Robin?"An annoyed Raven responded

"How serious did your relationship with Terra get...?"His voice was somewhat shaky as he asked

There was a long pause then Raven answered "Where did that come from?"

"I've been wondering since you told us about you two, but I've been searching for the right time to ask"Robin said, his voice still shaky, he had never asked some one about a romantic relationship before.

"And this was the perfect time?"Raven asked sceptickly

"No, but there wasn't any good time...so I thought it would be better just to come out and ask...so, how serious?"

"I really don't think that's any of your business"Raven in her usual dead monotone.

"Fair enough, fair enough..."Robin said in defeat, he thought it was best not to press it, after all it was a very personal question to a person known for not sharing much.

"We are--were in love...that's all you need to know"Raven's voice sunk visible near the end.

Robin nodded and said"...I understand...good night Raven"

It was a week later and not a whole lot had changed, Beastboy still had not fully accepted that the woman he loved had loved Raven. Robin was still enforcing the 'keep an eye on Raven' policy. Starfire kept bugging Raven for all the romantic moments she shared with Terra...and was still dissipointed that the only one's she got were in her initial explenation. Cyborg was more worried that all the attention on her and Terra's relationship would push Raven over the edge again, so he had, for the time being, become her gaurdian angel, every time some one was bothering her, Cyborg would come to the rescue.

At this peticular time, everything was back to normal. Beastboy and Cyborg were fighting over breakfast, Robin was explaining a cultural reference that was just on TV to Starfire, and Raven was sitting on the couch reading a book and drinking her herbal tea.

Everyone's attention was diverted as the alarm went off. Robin was ofcourse the first to react "Titans go!"

6666666666666666666666666666666

When the titans arrived, they were very surprised. There in front of them were fifty of Slade's robotic minions, and for a split second they beleaved Slade had returned...that was until a group of street punks walked out of a bank that had had it's outer wall demolished, after the gang members started giving orders to the robots it became apparent that they must have just stumbled onto one of Slade's stash's, the police had already foud three stashe's of robot's in werehouses throughout the city.

"Go for the robots but don't let the robbers get away!"Robin yelled as the titans flew into action.

After about ten seconds it became apperant that the robots had been upgraded, they were easily holding the titans at bay while the robbers just stood on the side line's and laughed.

It wasn't that the bots were just to skillful...it was just that there were so many of them...plus the titans had been caught off gaurd.

The fight was starting to look hopeless, only five bots had been disabled, and the titans had been seperated...they could still see each other but they couldn't do any of there combo attacks. Just as all seemed lost...the ground began to shake (AN:You guessed it!)and huge columns of rock shot out of the ground smashing ten, twenty, then thirty robots, the remaining bots turned to the one responsible...there, standing on a floating boulder, was Terra, and she looked pissed "Leave my friends alone!"She yelled at the robots.

Terra was a mess, her normally bright blond hair looked almost brunette with all the dirt that was in it, her face, though it was obviouse she had tried to clean it, was covered in dirt, she was only wearing a thin white under shirt and thin white shorts, bothof which were probably underwear, and both didn't look very white anymore, both also showed offher even skinnyer body...apparently being turned to stone still meant you had to eat.

The titans eye's all went huge at the site of the supposidley stoned girl (AN:I just couldn't resist making at least one stoned joke)Terra's eye's went yellow as lifted her hands up. the ground shook and two large slabs of stone were pulled out of the street on either side of the bots, Terra slamed her hands together and as she did the two slabs of concrete slamed into and destroyed the remaining robots. With that Terra lowered herself to the ground, she turned to the robbers who were staring at her with disbelief, Terra just waved a hand towards them and a few chunks of rock flew from the ground and knocked all the robbers out.

Terra stood on the ground, still covered in dirt. She was looking at the titans, she wanted to say something...but she couldn't think of anything, she had so many thing to ask, to apologize for, but nothing came out.

The titans just stared, Terra was standing not twenty feet away from them, dirty but alive and deffinetly not made of stone. As the titans stared at Terra, they noticed Raven running faster then they would have thought possible.

As soon as Raven reached Terra she wrapped her arms around her and planted the most passionate kiss imaginable on Terra's delicate lip's.

Terra was obviously surprised but melted into it, she brought her right hand up and wove her fingers through Raven's amethyst hair, her other hand went hehind Raven but it was inside her cloak so the titans couldn't see she was grabbing the dark girl's ass.

They pulled away and stared into each others tear filled eye's while still holding each other close. Terra was the first to speak "Raven...I am so sorry...for everything..."

"It's alright...there was no permenent damage...plus you took out Slade..."Raven said smiling slightly at the end

It was now that Terra looked passed Raven and saw the surprised and the (For the most part) happy expressions on the face's of the other titans, needless to say Terra's eye's went wide. "Shit, the titans!"Terra said, she squirmed trying to get out of Raven's arms, but Raven had been missing her for almost two month's...she wasn't about to let her get away that easily "They know"Raven said when Terra didn't stop squirming.

Terra's eye's went even wider "What?"

666666666666666666666666666666

"I don't know...it's just wierd...having them know about us..."Terra said to Raven as they entered the Tower.

"Tell me about it...Starfire hasn't stoped bugging me for every singlr detail of our relationship since they found out"Raven said with a slight smirk

"It must have taken a lot of guts to tell them...how did you do it? Did you just one day say 'Hey everybody...just to let you know me and Terra were dating before she was turned to stone'"Terra stoped as she noticed the sad expression on her girlfriends face "What is it?"

Raven looked up into those blue eye's she had grown to love"How they found out had nothing to do with courage...they found out because I was a coward..."

"I'm sure that's not true, your the bravest person I know..."Terra looked around to the titans for support, but they were all looking at the ground.

"They found out"Raven started, she couldn't look Terra in the eye's for this so she focused on the floor "When I walked, sobbing, into the main room...with a gun to my head.."

Terra was obviously shocked "You tryed to..."

Raven nodded"After you...well I tryed to find a cure, after I found one it took awile to get all the ingrediants for it...but when I tryed it...it didn't work...and I kind of lost it..."

Terra nodded and gave Raven a comforting hug, since it was obviouse that she was on the verge of tears.

Raven could feel Terra's ribcage as she huged her, she must be so hungry, and yet here she was comforting her...

A thought appeared in Terra's mind they hugged "Raven, if you didn't bring me back...who did?" She asked as they broke the embrace

"You mean you don't know?"Raven said surprised

Terra shook her head from side to side "No, when I woke up I was all alone..."The thought deffinetly depresed her "The only things I noticed was that plaque you guys left...and that my skin was hot"

This gained Raven's attention(AN: See sno B, this is how you spell it..)"Like a fever?"

"Yea...why?"Terra said a bit confused

"That was one of the side-affects for my spell"Raven was now putting two and two together "My spell must have been delayed"Raven's face sunk, she had almost killed herself because her spell didn't work...and it had.

"Well then it looks like you were my guardian angel after all"Terra said with one of her huge smile that Raven had missed so much in her absence "Now, got anything to eat? I'm so hungry I gould eat a horse"

And with that Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, and Beastboy (Who thought it futil to try to squeeze in some Terra time) all started making Terra's favorite meals, while the love birds sat and cuddled on the couch.

"This is how it should always be..."Raven said basking in how much beter her life had gotten in only an hour. But Terra didn't hear her, she had fallen asleep in the arm's of the women she loved, and drifted into a dreamless peaceful sleep, so unlike the one she had just awoken from.
