A/N: Sorry for not writing, but one of my stories (Song for the moment) was deleted by the admin, and I was banned from putting stories for one week. I have absolutely no idea why was it done, I mean, they were just two of my songfics. Anyway, this story continues. I already wrote some chapters, so I could put up all the chapters at once, but then I wouldn't get any reviews. So if you want to read the next chapters you MUST ask me in the reviews:)
Disclaimer: Same as in Chapter 1.

Chapter 2
A new morningarrived into the city, which was now slowly waking up from its sleep. Even the protectors of peace were getting up, still a bit sleepy. Beast Boy was the first one to wake up. He went to the kitchen to prepare his usual meal. And an herbal tea for Raven. He had started making tea for her since they got together. At least this way he could give her a 'gift' every day, which she wouldn't refuse. He hadmastered the making of her tea to the point where it tasted exactly as if she would have made it. The others were arriving into the kitchen one after another, still quite sleepy. Cyborg arrived first. He noticed Beast Boy cooking and decided to make himself a sandwich instead of BB's tofu. Next arrived Starfire and Robin, holding hands. They were almost glowing with happiness. Actually Starfire's eyes were glowing with green light, her joy clearly displayed to everyone. And the last one to come in was his love. His dark angel, whom he had loved so much, that he couldn't believe that he was able to live without her before. He looked at her and felt so happy, so calm. There was nothing else in the world that could ever replace her. She was so beautiful, so loving. She was perfect.
"Hi Rae! You want some tea?" he asked her. Raven smiled at him and took the cup from his hands. Then she went to the table, sat down and began to sip her warm, bitter drink.
"Okay team, today afternoon we're having a training. Everyone has free time till then, so just make sure you're in top condition for it." Robin gave the orders for the day. The others nodded, finished eating and left the kitchen. Starfire and Robin remained to wash the dishes. Cyborg went to the garage to continue tuning up his 'baby' with some additional parts he had bought last week. Raven went into her room to meditate. Beast Boy wanted to be with her, but knew that she needed to do this in order to maintain her control over her powers. So he decided to take a walk on the shore of the island.
He went down to the front door and exited the tower. He slowly walked around the island, breathing in the fresh air, listening to the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks. Strong wind was blowing from the direction of the sea. Sun was high on the sky and it was quite a warm day. After finishing his walk Beast Boy looked at the horizon to see the city in the distance. Suddenly he began to feel strange. His animal instincts warned him, as if something familiar and dangerous was approaching quickly. He looked around, but saw nothing. He started to walk back into the safety of the tower, still looking around cautiously. The wind stopped blowing and everything became quiet. He was even able to hear his own heartbeat. He quickly entered the tower and locked the door behind him. He ran into the common room and saw that the others were already there, watching a screen with many diagrams and information on it.
"What's happening?" he asked worriedly. The others turned around to notice him, and then looked back at the screen. Beast Boy walked over to Raven and grabbed her hand.
"What is it Rae?" he whispered.
"We don't know. Something's changing the weather. The effect is global." Raven answered quietly. Red lights began to flash on a screen that showed the Earth from space. Small dots appeared on it and were getting bigger.
"It seems that the core of the world is changing somehow!" Robin analyzed the screen.
"How bad is it?" Cyborg asked.
"I don't know. The changes are happening deep inside and have no visible effect on the surface. Maybe it'll pass without danger." Robin was concentrating on the screen. And really, the flashing dots began to disappear until there were no more of them left. Everything was back in normal.
"Hmm. Strange." Robin said to himself. The others just stood in silence, but after a few moments began to walk out of the room.
"Robin, are such earthly changes often?" Starfire was still a bit worried.
"Well, they do happen from time to time. But I think that if it didn't cause anything it wasn't really dangerous." Robin explained. Starfire nodded, but came closer to Robin just to feel safer.
In front of Titans towerRaven stood on the shore. She was thinking about this little incident. She was looking at the water surrounding their small island. The sunlight was brightly reflected upon its surface. Suddenly she spotted something in the distance. A tense feeling appeared within her. She instantly pulled out her communicator and switched it to the frequency of the others.
"It seems we have company." she said in a monotonous voice. In a few seconds everyone came out and was standing by the water's edge, watching something in the distance coming closer to them. Soon the object came close enough to clearly see it. It was a large boulder of rock. And there was someone standing on it. At first they couldn't believe their eyes, but soon realized the truth. It was Terra. Her armor was gone, she was once again wearing the clothes she had when they first met her. Except that now she had nogoggles with her. When she arrived to them the rock stopped and she jumped off it in front of them.
"Hi guys! Good to see you again." she greeted them happily. However the Titans didn't seem to be too happy about her return, and they had a reason to be suspicious about her. She hadbetrayed them twice and although she realized her mistake both times, it was now more than dangerous to trust her.
"What do you want Terra?" Robin asked coldly. Terra didn't expect such a greeting. Then she remembered what happened the last time and felt ashamed for it. She wanted to prove that she hasfinally changed.
"Umm, well, I kinda didn't have any place to stay at, and I was wondering if I could maybe…" she started to explain, but was cut off by Raven.
"No! You can't come back!" her voice was filled with hidden anger. She treated her as she deserved after everything she did. She was an enemy to her. A threat. The others looked at Raven. They were quite puzzled by the situation. Partly they knew that Terra was a potential danger, but then she might hurt someone if they let her escape. The last argument won.
"You can stay here Terra." Robin said. Raven immediately looked at him.
"What did he say? He must have lost his mind, letting this blonde psycho stay with them!" Raven thought as her mind became clouded with frustration.
"Robin, I don't think that this is a good idea!" Raven tried to protest. Beast Boy looked at her. He understood her concern for Terra. The two girls have been in constant conflict since the first day the two of them had met. Terra's double betrayal just deepened Raven's distrust for the troubled teen. And he also knew that Raven was always jealous of her, because he had loved Terra for some time.
"What do you think guys?" Robin asked the other Titans. Starfire quietly agreed with Robin. Cyborg said something about trying to let her get back into the team, that it would be good for them and for her as well. Raven was against. The only one left was Beast Boy. Everyone looked at him and awaited his choice. The poor changeling now felt responsible for the future of the team. He still believed in Terra, although his trust in her had been shaken a lot as well. On the other hand however he knew that Terra's return would anger Raven, especially if he agreed as well.
"Well…I…uuuh….I think that…." Beast Boy was trying to put a sentence together, but still felt torn between the choices. Finally his love for Raven had won.
"I agree with Raven as well." he finally said. He could clearly see the shock on Terra's face. She expected him to stand by her.
"And I say we should let her stay. That's three against two, so Terra can stay." Robin finally ended the debate. Everyone went inside and Terra was given her old room.
In the afternoon, same dayThe Titans were standing near the training field and were practicing. Each one of them had to knock down or destroy moving targets that were randomly appearing during the course. Everyone went alone, and they measured the time needed for the completion of the course. Everyone had their own personal records and they were trying to improve it every time. Everyone has finally finished the training. Starfire's time was 3:21, Robin's was 3:01, Cyborg's was 3:34, Beast Boy's time was 3:29 and Raven finished with 3:07.
"Wanna give it a try Terra?" Robin asked her. He wanted to see how could she control her powers.
"I guess I could try." Terra said a bit unsure. Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire stood at the edge of the field, while Robin and Raven were operating the computers controlling the targets. Everyone stood quietly, waiting for the first target to appear. It was Terra's turn.
