Disclaimer: I stand by what I said earlier: I do not own the Teen Titans.
Chapter 1 – Voting
Terra's eyes brimmed with tears at the site of the five Titans standing before her.
"W-what happened?" she whispered, her voice cracking.
Beast Boy's eyes were glistening with tears as he smiled warmly at her. "Terra," he repeated.
Terra blinked. She was exhausted. She blinked again, but could barely open her eyes. She was so tired…
A warm white light hung above Terra as she lay in the infirmary. She had passed out. Beast Boy hadn't left her side since then. Terra was still unconscious but she was alive.
"I thought you said that it would reverse the effect," Beast Boy said coldly as Robin entered the room.
"It did reverse the effects," Robin replied placing a hand on Beast Boy's shoulder as he looked down at the resting girl. "She's been in there for a long time Beast Boy. She hasn't been eating or drinking. She's just tired. Anyway, we've gotten some fluids into her so she'll be fine."
"What about the others?"
Robin sighed loudly. "We're holding a meeting. Are you going to come?"
Beast Boy dropped his eyes to his lap. "I dunno…what if Terra wakes up?"
"The alarm will ring," Robin assured the changeling. "We need to vote. Come on."
"No," Raven repeated stubbornly. "She betrayed us. How can we trust her again?"
"You didn't think that when we were discovering cures for her!" Beast Boy argued back.
Raven glared at the green boy. "But what makes you so sure that she won't turn against us?"
"We can beat her, we did it before," Cyborg pointed out.
"But we caught her out of surprise," Starfire said sadly.
"Because of her, Slade knows our weaknesses," Raven said coldly. "I say we kick her out before she finds out more about us."
"We need to vote team," Robin said loudly. "We're just arguing in circles."
"I say we let her back into the team," Beast Boy said glaring angrily at Raven.
"I agree with Beast Boy," Starfire said thinking of her powerful friend. "Terra is our friend and she helped save the city at the cost of her life."
"I say no," Raven growled. "She's is a traitor to this team and a disgrace."
"I believe that everyone deserves a second chance," Robin said slowly. "But Terra used her second chance already. I agree with Raven."
"You're the tie-breaker Cy," Beast Boy said quietly to mechanical man.
"I dunno y'all…I think Terra deserves another chance."
"YES!" Beast Boy squealed excitedly.
Just then, a flashing red light blinked in the room.
"She's awake."
Terra lay on her bed, too weak to get up. She wanted to, of course. She heard the door open. Using up most of her energy, she turned herself away from the door.
"Terra."
She recognised the voice. She opened her mouth to say something, but instead, tears formed in her blue eyes.
Beast Boy walked over to Terra's bed. He turned her onto her back. He saw her scared face stained with tears.
"I'm so sorry Beast Boy," Terra whispered tears flowing from her eyes.
"It's OK Terra," Beast Boy replied hugging Terra. "We forgive you."
'But have I forgiven myself?' Terra thought sadly as Beast Boy stepped back from the bed.
It took Terra a week to regain her energy again. She tried training with the Titans, to Raven's dismay, but realised that she was still too weak to use her powers. She felt useless as she watched the five other Titans training. Instead, she tried making her trashed room neater. Raven refused to help but the others offered to help. Terra declined their offer.
"Hey Terra," Beast Boy said entering Terra's room. "I brought you some cocoa. Wow, your room looks good."
Terra was sitting cross-legged on her bed. She managed to fix her room up and it looked like it did when she first got it.
"Thanks," she said smiling warmly at Beast Boy. "I tried to make it look like when I first joined the team…" she drifted off track remembering that she had been working for Slade at that time. "Mmm! Hot cocoa," she said suddenly grabbing the mug from Beast Boy.
"Oh yeah, I got you something!" Beast Boy said reaching into his pocket. He took out something small and flat wrapped in pink tissue paper.
"What is it?" Terra asked, her voice cracking, as she took the gift. With trembling fingers, she lifted the tape off and unwrapped the paper. A silver butterfly clip lay in the middle of the paper. "Beast Boy," Terra said blinking away tears.
"You left it outside Titans Terra after we first met," Beast Boy said picking up the clip and placing it in Terra's hair.
"Why are you doing this Beast Boy?" Terra whispered.
"Because you're my friend and I care about you a lot," Beast Boy replied smiling warmly.
"But I did so many wrong things. You should hate me," Terra protested sobbing.
"A long time ago, I promised you that I would always be your friend no matter what," Beast Boy said seriously, frowning slightly at Terra. "And I always keep my promises."
'No you didn't,' Terra thought. 'You rejected me. Because I sold you out.'
"I'm tired," Terra said loudly. "Good night Beast Boy."
"Uh…OK Terra," Beast Boy said walking towards the door. "Sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite!"
Terra laughed unsurely as the door closed shut. She closed her eyes and hung her head down as the lights turned off.
Author's Note: Ta-da! Another chapter! Ha, ha, ha! Anyway, this is a promotion for my other fan fic 'Twins'. Read it, it's good. If you read the story 'Lost Soul', sorry I deleted it. I didn't like it and I thought it was kinda bad. So sorry to all of y'all out there.
Hotshot45: Thanks for the review. I hope you liked this chapter.
Mriss444: Did you like this chapter? I'm defiantly going to make it more interesting later.
Kuyaga: He, he, he…you know me well, don't ya? Well, I tend to finish my homework and stuff really quickly so I can write a chapter a day if I don't have too much homework or if there isn't anything on the tele.
