I've decided to give you two chapters instead of one for my lack of update. Enjoy them both.

Chapter Four : ReIncarnation

"Hey guys!" Beast Boy shouted, the smiling blonde still in his arms, "Guess who's back?"

He kissed Terra's cheek and let her down. Since she'd given up all her old clothing when she'd worked for Slade, Raven offered to give her a small white dress that came down just above her knees.

As always, BB thought she looked gorgeous in it.

"TERRA!" Starfire shouted gleefully, hugging the blonde tightly, who surprisingly hugged back.

"It's great to see you again, Starfire," Terra said, immuned to the alien's windpipe-clogging hugs.

"Aw yeah, my rocker is back!" Cyborg said as they high fived, "Great to see ya again, Tee."

Terra grinned happily at the robot and turned to her leader.

All eyes were on him now. It was his final decision and Terra was ready for anything, even if it was rejection, whichshe knew was more than likely to happen, accounting for everything she'd done up until that point.

"Robin, look, if you don't wanna take me back then..." Robin put his hand up and she stopped.

"Say no more, Terra," he pulled out her communicator, "We all want you back."

"Really? THANK YOU!" Terra squealed in excitment.

Robin gave her a small smile.

Terra calmed down and finally turned to the dark girl that had her hood over her face and her eyes closed, deep in thought.

"Raven...I just wanted to tell that I'm really,really sorry," Terra said sincerely.

"It's okay. You were under Slade's influence and I believe that," Raven said, taking her hood down and letting it fall behind her back.

"So, uhm...friends?" Terra stuck out her hand hopefully.

"Friends," Raven shook Terra's hand but put her other arm around her, hugging her.

It wasn't the biggest hug but it was the only hug Terra had ever gotten from the dark sorceress. Raven pulled from the hug and Terra noticed how mellowed out her expression had become.

"I see alot has changed since I've been gone," she said sadly, looking down at her bare feet sadly.

"It's nothing ya can't catch up on," Raven said, offering a smile.

"Raven smiles now? That's new too!" Terra laughed and Raven gave a small chuckle.

"It's not all I can do. Stay around me for a while and I might do a trick."

That got a laugh out of everybody.

"She's into comedy too?" Terra asked, still smiling, "I have some serious catching up to do."

"Not really. I read it on a shirt," Raven said, giving a smirk, bursting everyone back into laughs, "I must be funnier than Beast Boy."

Beast Boy immediately stopped laughing and pointed a finger in Raven's face.

"Now that is not cool, dude!" he said, offended.

Raven gave him a smug grin with her nose up in the air, "Yes it is, cause I amcool."

"Yeah, whatever you say, Raven," Beast Boy crossed his arms.

Raven's eyes glowed black and she surrounded Beast Boy in black magic.

"I am cool, Beast Boy," she said, getting in his face, "Learn it, know it, live by it."

With that, she let him go.

Everyone just stared.

"This is the part where you're supposed to laugh," Raven said, her face straight but a smile tugging at her lips.

They all exchanged glances and began to laugh.

"Friend Terra," Starfire glided up to her, "May you wish to paint the toe nails later today?"

"Sure," Terra grinned at her alien friend, "I need new polish anyways but I might not get to cause BB's been hogging me all day."

Terra smiled sweetly at Beast Boy, making him blush.

"Well..." the blush was creeping across his face, "I..."

"It's alright BB. We know how ya feel bout Tee," Cyborg said, nudging his friend, "There is a fine line between friend and, uh... friendlier..."

It was Terra's turn to blush, and she did, her eyes casting downward in embarassment.

"Alright," Raven said, trying to worm her way out of the total awkwardness of the conversation, "Let's have pizza."

"Actually Raven," Terra said, yawning, "I think I'm gonna crash early tonight. Can I just have one piece 'for I hit the road?"

"You are not leaving Terra!" Starfire shouted, her eyes turning green.

"Who said I was leaving?" Terra asked, confused.

"You said you were going to 'hit the road'," Starfire said, her eyes fading back, "Does this not mean you are leaving us?"

Terra opened her mouth but Robin got to Star before her.

"I'll explain it to you later, Star," he said, "Terra isn't leaving."

"Oh..." Starfire scratched the back of her head, smiling.

Terra sat down in between BB and Raven and Cyborg handed her a plate with a huge slice of pizza on it. Terra yawned again before biting into the pizza.

She kept her left arm close against her torso, which Raven noticed.

"Terra?" Raven asked.

"Hmm?"

"What are those scratch marks from?"

'Damnit,' Terra thought, kicking herself metally.

"You aren't trying to do what I think you're trying to do, are you?" Raven asked gently, but still very concerned.

"No!" Terra smiled, "I got them when I worked for Slade. It was my punishment."

"Slade slit your wrists if you didn't do what he said?" Robin asked, his expression behind his mask firm but soft.

(A/N: I really hope that made sense)

"That's not all he slit," Terra said, pushing the collar of the dress down to reveal a huge scar that had been stitched up.

Starfire gasped, cupping her hands over her mouth, looking utterly horrified.

"I know," Terra said, tears starting to sting her eyes, "I have more cuts from him too."

"Do you think you'd need medical treatment, cause, Tee, I'll do it if you want me to," Cyborg told her.

"I know you would, but," Terra sighed deeply, her voice just fading off.

"She needs rest," Beast Boy said suddenly from the silence of the room, "C'mon Ter, I'll take ya to your room."

Terra curled a strand of her hair behind her ear and followed Beast Boy out the door and down the hallway to her room.
