It was breakfast time at The Titan's East. The twins were gobbling down some cereal, and Bee and Aqualad were making coffee, and Speedy was leaning on his fist, half asleep, sleepily glancing at the couch, where Terra was still sleeping.
"I'm a bit worried about her," Bee mumbled to Aqualad, while stirring sugar into her coffee, then raising the mug to her lips and taking a sip.
"Yesterday...?" Aqualad said matching her low, quiet voice.
"Well, everything," Bee said nodding slightly. "That talk we wanted to have with her, I think we should make it soon..."
"What talk?" Speedy interrupted, walking over.
Bumblebee glared at him slightly. "Never you mind,"
"Tell me," he insisted.
"You'll find out soon enough," Aqualad said with a small smile, then glanced over at the couch as Terra slowly pocked her head up.
"Hi," she said.
"Morning," they all said at the same time. Speedy glanced at his fellow team-mates, then slunk over to Terra, and sat down on the end of the couch.
"You alright?" he asked.
"I think so," she said quickly, he knew she must be embarrassed or something. "Definitely bruised something," she said wincing as she shifted, then held her side.
"Let's see," Speedy said leaning towards her and lifting her shirt slightly, where a large bruise met him. "Yeah you got a big one around your ribs,"
"Thought so," she said with a sigh. She closed her eyes then reopened them, looking at her hands, before she got up silently and heading into the bathroom. Speedy grumbled and leaned back grumpily.
"I can't ever get her to stay still and talk to me," he complained to Bee and Aqualad.
"S'cuse me?" Bee asked staring at him slightly.
"He likes Terra," Aqualad said laughing. "Havn't you noticed?"
"Hmm, come to think of it, I think I have," she said slyly while looking at Speedy, who rolled his eyes slightly, but a small blush rose in his cheeks.
"Well anyways, you just gotta talk about something that catches her interest, invite her to go on a walk or something, you don't have to make it sound all romantic, it can be innocent," Bee said taking another sip from her coffee.
"I guess I can try that.." Speedy muttered.
"You tell me how that works out for you," Bee said smiling slightly then getting up and heading to get ready for the day as well.
"And how's your love life?" Speedy asked moodily to Aqualad, who went a little pink.
"What love life?" he asked and rolled his eyes slightly, but wore a secret smile as he exited the room. The twins watched after him, and hooted, before jumping off their stools and racing out of the room. Speedy showered and got ready as well, and by the time he finished, Terra was done as well. She was searching through the cupboards for breakfast, so Speedy seized this opportunity to ask her.
"There's not much food," he commented. "Want to go out and grab something?"
"Might as well," she said nodding and closing the cupboard doors, and the two slipped on their shoes and headed out the door and towards town.
The sun was warm beating down on their backs and necks. "Where to?" Terra asked looking at Speedy.
"You choose,"
"Nah you pick,"
"No you pick,"
"I'm not choosing,"
"Well, I'm not either," Speedy said, and then both laughed slightly.
"There's a place," the blond said pointing at a little Snack Shack. Even though it was breakfast, they ordered burgers and fries. They sat on the wooden benches waiting for their orders. Speedy noticed she winced as she sat down.
"You sure you okay?" he asked frowning slightly.
"I'll live," she said with a shrug.
"If you don't mind me asking, what happened?" he asked leaning in slightly to hear. She looked a little embarrassed. "Me and Raven, well, I suppose you know about the whole...incident do you?" she asked, slightly nervously. Speedy nodded slowly. "Well, after that I guess she just hated me. I thought it might be like this, but I didn't think she would...attack me or anything,". She looked down. "I guess I deserved it maybe,"
"Everyone makes mistakes," Speedy said looking at her deeply, but she kept her eyes levelled to the ground. "You were confused, didn't know what to do,"
"I guess," she whispered, voice filled with emotion. He didn't want her to cry, so he jumped up immediately when they're orders were ready, then got them and brought them back to the table.
Terra took a fry and ate it miserably, and Speedy cringed for making her upset.
"How come you didn't fight back?" he couldn't help but ask, but regretted it seeing how it depressed her.
"I'm not going to even bother trying my powers," she said munching on more fries then hugging her legs.
"Well, why don't you try?" he asked curiously.
"Scared, I guess," she admitted. "Look what happened last time,". They finished their meals in silence, then threw away the trash.
"We going home then?" Terra asked looking at him.
He smiled slyly. "Let's do something fun,"
"Like what?" she asked raising her eyebrows slightly.
"Ever try paint ball?"
Beast Boy laid sprawled on the couch, exhausted after finishing a mission. He kicked off his shoes and stretched his toes apart then sighed and curled up. "I'm tiiiiired," he whined.
"Good work today team," Robin told them, and Cyborg clapped his hands together. "Ohh yeah, Cinderblock didn't stand a chance," he said pumping his fist into the air. He turned to the tired Titan on the couch. "Hey BB, how about a game?" he asked happily holding up the controllers for a video game.
"Your on!" he asked accepting the challenging and jumping up and grabbing it.
"I thought you said you were tired," Raven said staring at him flatly.
Beast Boy didn't reply to her, and simply turned to the television screen. He was still furious with her for attacking Terra like she did. Even just looking at her, her constantly bored expression, how she didn't care, just made him angrier. He glanced at her, and she rolled her eyes slightly. He went back to his game, where he ended up losing to Cyborg because he wasn't concentrating.
"Oh yeah that's what I'm talking 'bout!" Cyborg said doing a victory dance, and Starfire giggled and clapped her hands.
The alarm suddenly went off, and Robin came running into the room. "Titans! Trouble!" he shouted, but looked a bit pale.
"What is it?" Raven asked as they all ran after him.
"It's Terra," he said, and they all stared.
"Terra?" Beast Boy whispered.
