Chapter 3

Thoughts and Feelings

"Terra? Terra? Where are you?" Beast Boy called. "Terra? C'mon it doesn't take a half hour to change your clothes! Where could she be?" He added to himself, putting his fists on his hips and thinking hard.

"Friend Beast Boy, I shall join you in your search for Terra. Maybe she is in her room. I shall check the outside." Starfire zoomed off.

"Okay, go to Terra's room. Got it." Beast Boy said, marching confidently up the stairs and out of the Titans living room.

Terra stared out at the bay, her arms hugging her knees. Her hair blew softly in the wind. Terra's blue eyes moved to the spot next to her. That was where Beast Boy sat when she almost dropped a rock on him, the first time she was here. He had come to see her in the middle of the night. She still didn't know why. She giggled, remembering their conversation. He was so funny. A sigh escaped her lips. How was she going to live with her guilt? What she'd done to the Titans, to him. Terra rested her head on her knees and closed her eyes tightly. Don't think about that. You can make things right again. All you have to do is---

"Terra!" Starfire exclaimed, jumping out from behind the rock. "I have finally located you!"

"Yikes! Gosh Star, dontcha think you could be a little less loud? What are you doing here anyway?"

"I was helping Beast Boy to locate you! He went to search for you in your room, and I searched the outside."

"Um, okay, so what's up?"

"Nothing is up, just clouds and the blue sky." Starfire said, looking up.

"Err, no, it's just an expression, it means, well...Oh, I give up! What do you need me for?" Terra threw her hands in the air in exasperation.

"Beast Boy was looking for you."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Oh." Terra began to stare out at the bay again.

Starfire sat down next to her. "You should go speak to him."

"Huh? Who?" Terra asked, startled out of her reverie.

"Beast Boy. He missed you very much."

"How do you know? I bet he didn't. Not after what I did." Terra's heart sank.

"Yes he did. I have proof."

"You do!" Terra said a little to quickly. "I mean, you do?" she asked, calmly. Her heart rose a little bit.

Starfire sat down next to her. "Yes. You see, Slade came back because he made a deal with an interdimensional demon. His infamous power is known of even on my planet. He came to earth to put an end to all things mortal."

"Okay, go on. I get you so far."

Starfire spoke very quickly, "Raven was how Trigon got to Earth, and she protected us so we didn't turn to stone, and Slade helped Robin to rescue her, but she was a child and--"

"Whoa, Starfire, slow down. You can tell me the whole story another time. Just get to the point!" Terra really wanted to know what Star's evidence was.

Starfire took a deep breath. "Well, Cyborg, Beast Boy and I had to distract Trigon while Robin went to rescue Raven. Trigon, however, the coward, did not want to fight us, so he used his evil powers to bring out our bad sides."

Terra's eyes widened. "Wow. But where do I come in?"

"You see, being part of us, the our evil selves knew all our secrets. They tormented us about what we cared about most." Starfire shuddered remembering how cold fear had gripped her heart when her evil self had threatened to tell Trigon, and take Robin. "So, as I was fighting in the air, I watched over my friends. When I saw Beast Boy, he had stopped fighting and was panting." Terra listened with rapt attention, eyes boring into Starfire. "Beast Boy's evil self said, 'Giving up already? No wonder Terra dumped you!'" Terra gasped and her eyes filled with tears. Starfire went on, "I saw Beast Boy's eyes fill with tears, and then he rushed forward and tried to punch his evil self. The evil creature just blocked his punches and mocked him again, saying, 'Aww, did I hurt your feelings?'"

The tears that had gathered in Terra's eyes spilled over. She opened her mouth to say something to Starfire, but before she could, Starfire silenced her with a wave of her hand. "Shh, someone is coming. I think it is Beast Boy. I shall leave you now. Please, friend, talk to him. It will ease your troubles." And with that, she flew around the rock and back to the Tower. Terra looked after her, a grateful smile on her face.

"Terra! Terra!" Beast Boy shouted, stumbling on rocks as he tried to run toward her. When he reached her, he stopped, panting. "There...you...are...I've...been...looking...

all...over...for...you," he said between gasps of breath. He looked around. "Where's Starfire? Didn't she find you? She told me she was going to search outside--"

"Yeah, she found me. We... talked."

"Where'd she go?" he asked, then looked at Terra. "Hey, what's the matter? Why are you crying?" He sat down next to her.

"You don't hate me? Even after what I did?" Tears were pouring down Terra's face.

"Hate you? How could I hate you? You sacrificed yourself to save the whole city!" Beast Boy was shocked.

Terra wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "So, then, you forgive me?" He nodded solemnly. "But, what about that time at the amusement park? Did you mean what you said? Do you still believe that now?" Terra looked at him, fear flickering on her face.

Beast Boy hesitated, remembering that night. You said you'd be my friend no matter what... Slade's right, Terra! You have no friends! Beast Boy took a deep breath, then turned to Terra, and put one hand on each of her shoulders. Looking her in the eyes, he said, "Terra, I... I was angry. I was shocked. I almost meant it. That night. But, as soon as I saw you crying, I couldn't hate you anymore. I don't believe that anymore. You are my friend, and you have friends in the rest of the Titans. I...We, don't hate you."

A fresh wave of tears wet Terra's face. She hugged Beast Boy, crying into his shoulder. "I'm sorry..." she whispered.

"I forgive you."
