Chapter 2.

Revival

The Titans walked down the dark tunnels, leading towards Terra. In front was Beastboy, repeating over and over again, "Thankyouthankyouthankyou…" To Robin. Also in front was Starfire, looking apocalyptic and clinging to Robins arm. Robin was striding forwards trying to ignore the crushing pain in his arm. Cyborg was trudging along behind them, thinking to himself, and Raven and Wraithe were at the back arguing.

Starfire let go of Robins arm and hovered back towards Cyborg. Robin breathed a sigh of relief. "Cyborg." Whispered Starfire, "did you not say you had a miracle break-through that could bring friend Terra back?"

"Oh sure," Cyborg looked sheepish, "An absolute modern day miracle… but it would require the entire cities power, has only a thirty-five percent chance of success, and will only bring back one of Terra's fingers… or a hand if we're lucky."

"Oh," Starfire sighed, then perked up, "but maybe the Wraithe woman was bluffing, and Robin would see the fraud she is and…."

"Star," Cyborg looked serious, "are you saying that Terra's life, the life Terra sacrificed for us and the entire city, is worth less then one date?"

Starfire looked at her feet, "I am sorry… I was selfish."

Cyborg patted her on the shoulder, "It's alright Star."

Suddenly Beastboy and Robin stopped. "Well," said Beastboy, "here she is…"

Wraithe swept past him, she flew up to Terra and tapped her with her fingernail, "ooooh, yes I see… been here for quite a while hasn't she?"

Beastboy scrambled up beside her, "Yeah, more than a year." He turned to Wraithe, his face a mask of seriousness. "I need to know… will you bring her back?"

"I said I wou…" Wraithe started, but Beastboy interrupted.

"No," he said, "I mean… will you bring her back properly? The way she always was? Cause' I don't want her to suddenly die at midnight. Or turn to stone again after a week. Or age before my eyes. I'd rather her to stay the way she is then have her ripped away from me again."

Raven looked closely at Wraithe, and saw her eyes lit with… respect? For Beastboy? Wraithe seemed genuinely touched. Wraithe smiled. "I give you my word that I shall bring your friend back, the way she always was."

Raven knew that she was telling the truth… Wraithe may be cunning, cruel and evil… but she was honest.

"Stand back!" Commanded Wraithe, more for dramatic effect then anything else. She placed her hands on either side of Terra's head and waves of magic coursed over Terra's slim frame. The rock softened into skin, Terra's hair felt the constraints of gravity for the first time in over a year. Terra's eyes opened and she took in her surroundings for a second, then she smiled and said, "Did we win?" Then she fell forward, unconscious. To everyone's surprise it was Wraithe that caught her, she wordlessly handed Terra to Beastboy, and strode over to Robin, "See you at six," she said, and vanished in a flash of purple fire.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beastboy gently laid Terra on the medical ward bed. "When will she wake up?" He asked softly.

"It could be any time, she's been a rock for a while." Raven said solemnly.

Robin began to attach some probes to Terra's armor. After doing so he went over to a computer and typed for a while… there was a BEEP! And Robin looked up satisfied, "That's the micro-needles disabled." He said, removing the probes. "Now I better get ready for my date." Robin left, with a dejected Starfire following behind him. As he was leaving Raven put a hand on his shoulder, "don't trust her." She whispered in his ear, and then let go.

"What did she say?" Asked Cyborg.

Beastboy shrugged, "I dunno."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wraithe had been searching through the eveningwear store for a while. "Can I help you madam?" Asked a store clerk in a bored voice.

Wraithe spun around and looked calmly at the man. "Yes," she said, "I want a dress. Not just any dress. It must be perfection, not laces and bows, and not this… this… peasants wear. I have a vast wealth, I could create a dress but it is too superficial, I like the authentic look." She looked expectantly at the clerk.

The clerk smiled, "Ah." He said. "Madam is THAT kind of customer. Please follow me."

Wraithe followed him to a room out the back. Each garment here had a separate stand to itself. Wraithe walked around for bit, with the clerk tagging along behind her. Wraithe eventually found a dress. It was perfect.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Robin. You must not go with this woman." Starfire said angrily.

"She kept her word." Said Robin simply.

Starfire snorted. "Terra is unconscious."

"But she's alive." Robin said calmly.

"But I do not wish you to go!"

"I have no choice."

"The Wraithe may cast a spell on you!"

"Then I'll have to be careful."

"You…you…you have something between you're teeth!" Starfire shouted triumphantly. "You cannot go!"

Robin sighed. "Then I'll floss." He walked into his room and shut the door. Starfire scowled and retreated to her own room.

Beastboy sat next to Terra's bed.

He wouldn't leave her side for a minute, even if she stayed in a coma for weeks and weeks.

…

… Unless he needed to go to the bathroom.
