Chapter Forty-Two: "Friendly Fight"
An hour later everyone was doing there own thing. The dishes were done by everyone and they broke up to different parts of the tower. Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing another ridiculous game while Keyda watched.
Cyborg looked over at Keyda. She looked so intrigued by the game, "Hey Keyda, you want to play?" he asked, blushing unnoticeably.
"I'm afraid I don't know how. Will you teach me?" Keyda asked.
"Sure." Cyborg smiled.
Keyda walked from the screen to Cyborg, but as soon as she went to take the control she fell to the ground, moaning in pain. Cyborg rushed to her side instantly and Beast Boy paused the game.
"Get Raven!" Cyborg shouted at him.
Beast Boy nodded and turned into a cheetah and dashed off.
Keyda moaned in pain, louder this time.
"Keyda! What's wrong?" Cyborg demanded to know.
"I . . ." Keyda trailed off, the pain in her body was getting worse. "I can't survive..." She began taking in deeper, shallower breathes. "...in this..." she screamed in pain.
Raven quickly phased through the door and ran to Keyda's side. Keyda was in a fetal position, but she looked up to see Raven's worried expression.
"We need to get her to my room. She can't live in sunlight." Raven announced in a doctor kind of tone.
Cyborg picked Keyda up as gently as he could and followed Raven to her room.
Raven opened the door to her room and walked inside, followed by Cyborg.
"You can lay her down on my bed." Raven instructed.
Cyborg walked over to the bed and sat her down. As soon as he did, she disappeared into the shadow's on the floor.
Alarmed Cyborg looked at the floor, "What happened?" He asked instantly.
Raven walked over to his side, "She's recuperating. She can't survive living in sunlight, she's a shadow. Shadow's don't live in daylight." Raven informed him in her monotone.
"Will she be ok?" Cyborg asked, still worried.
"She'll be fine." Raven motioned for him to leave her room. He sighed and left in silence.
Robin was outside, running towards a cardboard target. He kicked it and it fell to the ground. He rushed over to another one that popped up to its right. He punched it and it instantly fell to the ground.
Terra walked onto the course and smiled. Robin noticed her after she had been standing for quite some time.
"Hey Terra, didn't see you there. What's up?" He asked casually, stopping to take deep breathes.
Terra smiled, "Oh nothing. Just watching you."
Robin had a quizzical look on his face, "Uh, ok."
I can't use my own powers. She thought as she walked towards Robin. But I can use hers. Terra walked up to him, "So, do you know any moves that'll stop me?" She asked casually.
"Huh?"
Terra's hands glowed yellow and rocks began to float. "I've been trapped in stone for awhile. I need to see if I still have control of my powers." Robin backed up a few steps. "Don't worry, it'll be a friendly match." She smiled.
Robin seemed to be relieved by this and got into steady stance. "Ok then." He smiled.
Terra lifted a few big rocks and started throwing them at Robin. Of course, he ducked and brought out his bo-staff. He ran towards Terra and started swinging his staff. He hit her across the chest and she fell to the ground. Robin walked over to her and bent over her.
"Terra, are you -"
Terra's eyes popped open instantly and they revealed a bright yellow glow. Two pillars flew at Robin, sending him seven feet away.
"AAAHHH...!" Robin cried out.
Terra lifted up a giant rock and left it hovering over him. Robin opened his eyes to seeing a floating piece of dirt.
"Terra I thought this was a friendly fight!" He cried out.
Terra's eyes dimmed, "Sorry, old habits die hard." She smirked.
She threw the rock across the field and walked over to Robin. She leaned over him and smiled innocently.
"You ok?" She asked.
"Peachy." He said angrly, getting ready to stand up. Terra stopped him, "Terra let me-"
Terra planted her lips on Robins. Freaking out that Starfire may show up he pushed her away.
"TERRA!" he shouted, obviously extremely irate.
Terra smiled sweetly, "See you later Robin." Terra began walking towards the tower, smiling happily.
Ten minutes later she was inside the tower, walking down the hallway.
Raven was walking down the same hallway; she looked up from her book, "Terra." Raven bitterly said.
"Raven." Terra said equally as biter.
Raven saw the way Terra was smiling and knew instantly that something wasn't right. Before she could mention anything Beast Boy walked up, in his puppy dog form. He quickly turned into his human self and walked up to Raven.
"Hey Sweetheart." Beast Boy smiled. I can't believe I just called her that. Beast Boy thought. "Hey Terra."
Keyda felt Terra's jealousy well up inside, but she quickly took control of it. "Hey Beast Boy." Terra smiled.
"Hey Raven, wanna go to the movies? Or rent some and have a movie night later?"
Before Raven could answer, everyone began blinking.
"It'll have to wait. Trouble." Raven said sternly.
All three Titans ran to the main operations room.
