Gothic Black Panther96: Do you know how awesome you are? No need to worry about me taking it negatively, the only bad review is one that is nothing but hollow flames that can't help a writer get better. Like saying it sucks without saying why it sucks. Your review made me feel so great, I felt better about writing the second chapter. I didn't like the first chapter for the exact reason you stated, it discouraged me from doing the next chapter in a timely fashion. It was just to text heavy in a bad way. No real dialogue, just words and words and words describing something. It felt like a manual or something. But I am pretty anal about things making sense, so I didn't want to bring Terra back without having it make some sense, even bad sense in my head. Sense without it being magical and poof! She's all healed and everything. Me being that descriptive in Cyborg's steps in healing her were long. I'm glad I did it though, because now I can go forward with writing the things I want to write. I appreciate your review.

I'll try to think of something to let people know that's just a chapter to let everyone know whats going on. Got it, call it the default chapter. I've seen it in other stories.

Without further ado, here is chapter 2. I promise, I didn't want that to rhyme, it just happened on its own.

Disclaimer: I only own my imaginary conversations with the Teen Titans, not the Teen Titans themselves though. Raven is freaking hilarious.

I was on all fours and I couldn't stop coughing. It was making me disoriented. My lungs felt like a thousand pieces of sand were stuck in them and every time I moved, hundreds of particles were thrust out of my body. My eyes were watering with all of the pressure inside of me and I could feel hands pulling me up from being on all fours. Through all of the tears I could start to make out the forms in front of me. I was being pulled up by giants and fear set in. Instinctively, I started using my powers and pulled the earth directly underneath me up to a towering 50 feet, knocking the two unknown people beside me off balance, giving me time to get oriented and look at who was surrounding me.

"Terra! Terra calm down, we are here to help you!" said a familiar voice. My eyes were clearing up and I could almost make out the owner of the voice. It was a tall lean man who was completely green with pointy ears.

"Beastboy.." I heard a raspy sound come from throat. Brain overload, what in the world is going on. Before I could even try to piece together what was happening I felt myself drift off into sleep, I welcomed it because I so needed a break.

When I awoke, I was on a bed in the Tower. I knew I was in the tower, but I was still playing catch up. Around me I could see the other titans, but it was… it was weird. They were older than me, I could just feel it by the way I had to look up at them.

Robin was about to speak but I silenced him with my hand. I just had to have time to think for minute. Just one minute and I could try to sort this out. I looked around the room. Robin's hair was a little longer but still spiked up. He had more muscle mass than I remembered and he was taller like everyone else. He still sported the same uniform that I remember which I was glad for. Cyborg looked better, some of his articifical limbs looked more realistic. Starfire's hair was a little shorter, and she had developed more as she aged. Her hair was a little less intense, but still more vibrant red than was normal for people of this planet. Her outfit was more conservative than I remembered but it was a nice change. Raven looked the most unchanged. Like Star, she was more developed and her face was the same but different. She aged amazingly well, I was jealous of her good looks. Her face was more defined and she was sure to look better each passing year. Beastboy was taller than Raven, but still shorter than Starfire and Cyborg. He looked exactly the same as I remembered, except for his height. He was the shortest before, but now it looked like Raven was the shortest. My mistake, I'm the shortest. How much time has passed for everyone to look like this? What do I look like?

I scattered out of the bed and went around the room looking for a mirror, any reflective surface would do. I settled on a computer monitor and saw that I looked the same as I've always been. I was kind of disappointed.

"How much time?" I said.

"3 years," Robin said. "Cyborg is the one who figured it out. Cyborg, do you want to---"

"I don't need the details. I'm just glad to be alive I guess." I said. It didn't come out as positive as I felt, but it came out all the same.

"Can I talk to Beastboy alone," I said. He could catch me up. I wanted to talk to him, and for him to tell me that everything would be okay and make me laugh. I wanted things to go back to the way they were before everything went to hell… Before I made everything go to hell.

As the other titans made their way out of the room, I thought I saw a look between Raven and Beastboy, and a way that the other titans moved around BB and Raven that I didn't like. When everyone was gone, BB came and sat in a chair next to the bed as I made my way back to the bed.

"So, what have I missed in the last three years?" I said jokingly standing in front of him. Fear was shaking through me. Three years. I had missed three years of my life, and nothing was the same, it couldn't be the same.

"Terra, a lot has happened while your were…out of action." BB said standing up in front of me. God, he towered over me, his muscles more dominant than I remembered. Too much has changed. I felt so weak and I just wanted him to hold me. I wrapped my arms around him, practically clawing him because I didn't want him to disappear. All of this moisture was falling from my eyes and I couldn't see him anymore, so I hugged him harder. I felt like he might go away like all the time I've lost. Slowly, he pulled away from me. I felt him pulling away from me, and I didn't like it.

He was putting distance between the two of us so fast…

"Terra…while you were away," he said stepping away from me and looking down. "I fell in love with someone else," he says. Finding some kind of strength he looks me in the eyes, finally, those warm green eyes, "I fell in love with Raven." And here the floor opened up underneath me. I was falling. I imagined that the tower was shaking, and when I looked at Beastboy, I could see that the tower actually was shaking. I had to get ahold of myself. The tower stops shaking and I back up to the nearest wall to sit down, pulling my knees to my chest, forcing myself to stop crying. Did I deserve all of this? I wanted BB to answer that one.

"Do I deserve all of this?" I ask him. I really wanted to know. The things I had done, was this my karma?

"I don't know," he says.

"Well, does this make it even? All the pain and hell I put you guys through, are we okay now? I know I did some bad things, and I just want to know what else I have to do to for everything to be okay."

"Your okay with me, but I can't speak for everyone else, your going to have to talk with them." He says as he makes his way to the door so that I can have some time alone.

"We do have a lot to talk about though Terra," he said as he pulls open the door not looking at me.

"BB, how serious is this love?" I ask him, not really wanting to know the answer.

He doesn't say anything, but I know he heard me by the tension in his back. He remains silent and exits the room.

I just want to disappear. No sooner had I thought it, I could feel myself sinking through the wall and floor. Freak out mode for half a second. I jump up sweating, trying to figure out what's going on with me. What's up with my powers? I've never been this in tune with the earth. Its like we're one now. As that realization sinks in, I feel a little better. Out of all of the bad things to happen to me so far, one good thing is that it looks like I have even more control over my powers, so much so that it is in sync with my thoughts alone. I don't consciously have to think about it, it just happens.

I stand up and wipe my face. There is no time for crying and feeling sorry for yourself Terra, you've already missed three years of your life. Its time to make your apologies and go forward from now on. But I just can't stop thinking about Beastboy. I wonder how serious it is between him and Raven. I don't think Raven likes me much, but I plan on starting over now. I take a look in the mirror before I get in the shower, and it might just be my imagination, but I think I'm growing some already. I feel taller already and it hasn't even been a day since Cyborg freed me. I'm going to have to thank him later.
