Chapter 2 – Pie
Terra looked at her reflection. She was still wearing the armour Slade had given her. When she was his apprentice.
Terra stared at the breastplate and tried pulling it off, knowing that it wouldn't come off.
"Terra?"
Terra turned around to see Starfire standing at the doorway looking rather embarrassed.
"Um…hey Star," Terra replied.
"How come you do not remove your…" Starfire trailed off.
"I-I can't Star," Terra said, her voice trembling. Terra bit her lip and pushed her hair out of her face, but it dropped down again. "It's integrated in my nervous system. I can't take it out."
"Oh friend, I did not know!" Starfire said flying over to Terra, patting her on the back. "We will find a way to get the suit off."
Terra woke up. She was lying in a hospital bed. Something felt different about her. That's when she remembered.
"Hey Terra."
She smiled, remembering that voice. It belonged to Beast Boy, the only person that really understood her.
"Beast Boy," Terra said sitting up.
She watched the green boy walk across the room carrying a tray of food.
"How are you feeling?" he asked staring at her with big eyes.
"Better," Terra said. "I can't believe it's off."
She looked down and surveyed her arms. Slade's suit was finally off. It was like breathing again.
"Good. I got you some pie," Beast Boy said handing the tray of food to Terra. "You know, there's the apple pie…from that uh…night and here's some cherry pie. I remembered what you said. The best cherry pie is two hundred miles outside of Gotham. I went there while you were in the surgery room."
"Beast Boy," Terra said, tearing up. She blinked the tears away. "This is so sweet. Thanks."
"Heh, it was nothing," he said blushing.
Terra ate some of the apple pie, savouring the taste. She hadn't had apple pie for a while. Not since that night she betrayed the Titans.
"Beast Boy, I'm sorry," she blurted out, after swallowing the pie. "I wish I never went to Slade. I shouldn't have…but he offered me control. I was a danger to myself. I was doing it to save everyone. It was wrong but it felt so good to control my powers!" Terra said staring at Beast Boy, the way she did at the house of mirrors when she was convincing him to trust her again.
"It's OK Terra," Beast Boy said hugging her. "You were right though. I promised I would be your friend no matter what. We're friends right?"
Terra smiled at Beast Boy and returned his hug. "Friends."
Author's Note: Urgh. So short. Huh. There's not really a plot to this story. Just emotional struggles and stuff. Anyway, thanks for the reviews guys! You're the best!
Fire and Ice equals Slush: Aw. Thanks for reading my fan fic. I love your fan fics. Your review for chapter one was really sweet. Thanks a lot.
Larie-chan: Thanks for the review. I'm not used to criticism. I should get used to it. Thanks for introducing me to my new friend, the coma.
Kuyaga: Yeah, it is a bummer that Raven doesn't trust Terra. But its like what Slade said in Masks. "Trust is hard to build but easy to destroy." Or something like that. Raven will have to get over it sooner or later. Hopefully.
YokoShippo: Thanks for the review. I guess that would be how I'd feel if I've been entombed in magma. But then again, I'm super emotional. Terra would probably feel less angsty. You're right.
