Beast Boy's heart pounded against his chest he was sure it would burst out. "What do you mean Terra?" he shouted chasing after Robin. Robin just looked at him, then mounted his motorcycle, and speed towards their destination. Since Beast Boy was too stunned to move, Raven and Starfire grabbed Cyborg under the arms and took off. The green titan shook his head quickly, turned into a bird and took after them. What had happened with Terra? She couldn't be destroying the city...she wouldn't. She couldn't. He didn't know why, but he was getting angrier as they approached. Terra wouldn't destroy the city, she wouldn't! Then again, Slade was still alive out there, what if he found her and she agreed to help him? He saw the disaster before he spotted Terra. It was dusty. There was a huge crack going through the street, the road was turned up everywhere. The Titans all stopped and looked around, bracing themselves. Beast Boy, however, didn't.
"Terra?" he shouted into the deserted street. Something moved, and the Titans all aimed towards there, and Starfire's glowed and she threw several star bolts in that direction. There was a slice of yellow and the star bolts swerved off to the side. Bumblebee fluttered out of the dust, holding stingers. The remaining Titans East, minus Speedy, came out of the dust, coughing slightly.
Robin, who was prepared to attacked, lowered his fists. "What are you guys doing here?"
"It's Terra, isn't it?" Aqualad asked.
"Uh yeah, how'd you know?"
"Judging my the damage, and how she and Speedy were gone for the afternoon and this happened.."
"Say what!" Beast Boy yelled, staring at Aqualad, eyes bulging out of his head.
Everyone ignored him from the moment, and Robin frowned, turning to Bumblebee and Aqualad. "So what's happened here?"
"Looks like she used her powers," Bee remarked looking around. "And I tell you it ain't pretty,"
"Why though?" Cyborg wondered out loud. "Maybe she and Speedy were in trouble?"
Bee pulled out her communicator and tried to signal Speedy. "Not working," she said looking up at everyone. "I've been trying but it's down,".
"We'll split up and look for them, or anything else," Robin paired everyone up and everyone departed. He and Starfire took off towards north, Bee and Cyborg headed off as well in the east, glancing at each other through squinty eyes, Raven and Aqualad took the west, and Beast Boy was left with the Spanish twins to go south.
Robin walked along and Starfire drifted overhead.
"I don't understand," the leader of the ground muttered to the alien girl. "What could have happened?"
"I do not know, perhaps Terra and Speedy were engaged in battle against each other?" Starfire suggested.
"I don't think so, Aqualad was telling me Speedy was...interested in Terra," he said raising his eyebrows slightly.
Starfire tilted her head. "This is not good for our Beast Boy, if the Speedy likes Terra also,".
Robin shook his head. "Let's just, not think about that for the moment, it's not really our concerns, come on," he said jogging along, and Starfire flew after him.
"I think we should go this way," Cyborg said pointing in the direction.
"Nun huh, I saw we go this way," Bumblebee argued back.
"This way!"
"No this way,"
"I'm telling you, th-" he was cut short by an arrow being shot in the air, then exploding.
"Speedy!" they both exclaimed, and Cyborg went running towards it, and Bee fluttered right behind him. They came close to where the shot appeared to be fired from, and they slowed down.
"Speedy?" they both shouted at the same time and listened.
"Over here..." they heard his voice from an alley, and took off towards it. They spotted him lying down, a bunch of bricks and pieces of plywood were pinning his legs and waist down, and when he spotted them, he waved his bow in the air, and they caught side of it and ran over.
"Finally," he muttered as they pulled everything off him and helped him up. "Glad I had you," he said admiring his bow for a moment, while Cyborg and Bee stared at him.
"Where's Terra? What happened?" Cyborg asked looking around.
Speedy went slightly pale. "We went paint balling, everything was fine and we came home, and she suddenly stopped, and there was a small rock in our path, and she just, tried to use her powers...because I was sort of bugging it out of her before," he said looking sheepish. "And everything was under control, her eyes and fists went yellow, and she lifted it off the ground by a few inches, and then everything went wrong.." he said shaking his head and shuddering.
"Speedy, you have to continue," Bumblebee said putting her hands on his shoulders.
He nodded slowly and continued. "And then, I don't know, the street started cracking, and she was pulling the street up everywhere, and there was just this tornado of flying rocks," he said gesturing around. "I tried to help her, but she just lost control and I got knocked by a boulder, and I don't know where she is now," he said worriedly. "We've got to find her," he insisted.
"You just calm down a minute," Bee said hushing him, then nodded to Cyborg who pressed a few buttons on his arm and contacted Robin, where he told him they found Speedy, and what had happened to Terra.
"Make sure he's okay, and then we've got to find Terra quickly, in case she losing control again," Robin said urgently and Cyborg turned to Bee. "Let's go,"
Beast Boy kicked a rock as he followed after the two Spanish twins Mas y Menos, who were arguing in Spanish on which direction to go when Beast Boy's communicator blinked. He opened it, and Robin told him they found Speedy, and what had happened. When he finished, the changeling closed his communicator, and his heart pounded against his chest as he had a flash back.
Beast Boy tunnelled through the ground and popped up as a gopher, then spotted Terra in a whirlwind, he ducked back and reappeared inside it and changed back to human form.
"Terra! Terra!" he shouted, he shouted and jumped towards her, nearly getting pulled out of the funnel cloud, and he gripped Terra's shoulder so he wouldn't go spinning out. At the feel of his touch, Terra, looked up at him, face stained with tears, and they slowly reached out to each other, and their hands linked, and they held on for dear life.
"It's okay Terra," he whispered to her as she sobbed in his arms. "I'm here...I'm here..." The whirlwind slowly dissipated, and the two gently fell to the ground.
"You won't-" she began to say.
"I'm not gunna tell anyone, I promise," Beast Boy whispered back, still cradling her.
(End Flashback)
Beast Boy gulped slightly, remembering the last time Terra had lost control over her powers. He gazed around, judging by the mess, this time was much worst. He had to find her. He broke away from the twins, who watched after him puzzled.
"Terra!" he yelled, as he ran along the broken streets. "Terra answer me!" he yelled, and stopped to listen, but only heard his voice echo back to him. He transformed into a cheetah and took off, running around every corner, looking for the blond girl. He transformed back when be became tired, and leaned against a dusty wall and slid down. He felt tears coming on but he forced himself not to cry. He heard someone approaching, but he didn't care, and didn't even look as he heard them slide down next to him. He turned his head finally, and his eyes widened. It was Raven. She didn't say anything at first, then she cleared her throat.
"You...okay?" she asked quietly.
He shook his head. "Everything is screwing up, nothing is going right..." he said in a small voice.
"It can't always go right all the time," she said lightly.
"I'm scared for her," he whispered. Even though Beast Boy knew Raven hated Terra, she didn't flinch or leave him at the sound of her name. Instead, she just slowly nodded.
"You weren't the only one upset when she...passed on,"
"You?" the green titan said staring at her, and she nodded slowly again.
"She was still a friend after all, never the less," Raven said shaking her head slightly. "She'll make it,".
Beast Boy peeked up at her calm, violet eyes, and reached out and hugged her. Taken back slightly at first, but then she slowly hugged back. It wasn't romantic, there was no spark, but it was just the comfort he needed.
Raven stood back up, and pulled her hood back on. "Your not going to find her like this," she said in a monotone, returning to her normal self. Beast Boy nodded and jumped up, and before he left he smiled at Raven and whispered 'Thanks,' before changing into a cheetah and blasting off. He kept his eyes and ears open. He searched on for another 15 minutes, and nothing. He changed back into human form and sighed, losing hope of finding her. And it was about to turn around when he spotted a head of blond hair. He slowly walked down an alley, spotting her curled up next to a garbage can, rocking and crying.
"Terra," he said before dropping on his knees beside her. She looked up at him with wide eyes full of tears, and started to cry a bit harder.
"Terra, it's okay, I'm here, it'll be okay..." he said putting his arm around her.
"I could have hurt someone, I-I knew I shouldn't have tried them, I k-knew I shouldn't have," she said through little sobs. "It's all my fault, everything, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry," she said over and over.
"It's okay Terra, calm down, it'll be fine," he tried to reassure her and he rubbed her back. He wasn't completely sure what she was talking about either. He pulled open his communicator and quickly signalled to Robin and the others they he found her, then he slipped it away, and hugged Terra, and with a small sob, she embraced him back.
(The story is nearly to a finish...how traggic! Anyways, 1 or 2 more chapters I think left)
