Chapter Forty-Six: "Up to Date"
Cyborg looked towards Robin with a serious face, "How-" he paused, "-How'd you know my real name?" Cyborg asked, walking towards him.
"It's in your profile in the main computer. As is everyone's information." Robin smiled.
Cyborg shrugged it off. "Well who wants waffles?" He smiled.
Beast Boy perked up, "I'll make 'em!" he shouted, as he dashed off to the kitchen.
Cyborg was right behind him, "Oh no you don't, we're not havin' any of that tofu crap!" he yelled after him.
Everyone shared a laugh as they walked towards the kitchen.
Terra woke up, took a shower and got dressed before entering the main room. She felt everyone glaring at her, she felt tension and uncomfortable. Finally, after taking a seat at the kitchen table she go fed up with it.
"Why is everyone staring at me?" She demanded to know.
Everyone looked at each other. Beast Boy walked over to her and sat down next to her.
"Terra, are you feeling ok?" Beast Boy asked as gently as he could.
Terra gave him a mean look, "What do you mean? What's going on?" She asked a hint of panic in her voice.
Beast Boy looked concerned, "Well, we didn't see you all day yesterday and you've been acting really strange."
Terra's eyes began to water, her face turning red. "I stayed in my room yesterday because I don't remember the last couple of days."
Robin looked approached her, "So you don't remember the fight we had and the kiss you gave me?"
Terra quickly looked up at him, both shock and disgust on her face, "No!" She quivered, "Ewww" she added.
Beast Boy looked over at Raven, she was reading another one of her old dusty books.
"What else has been going on and," wiping the tears from her eyes, "Who is that?" She asked.
"Come on now! I'm Cyborg!" He shouted in a happy tone.
Terra was now even more confused.
"Maybe Raven can bring you up to date. She's the only one who can accurately tell you what's happenin'."
Raven quickly shot him a glance. She gave him that's not a good idea kind of look, but Beast Boy mouthed please and Raven gave in. As much as she didn't trust Terra she got up and walked over to the table.
"Terra let's go to your room." She stated emotionless.
Terra looked at everyone, but she looked deeply into Beast Boy's eyes.
"She won't bite." He joked, "Trust me." He smiled.
Terra whispered to Beast Boy, "I always have and I always will."
Beast Boy blushed, but it was barely noticeable. Terra got up and, as uncomfortable as it was, walked along side Raven and they, both, went to Terra's room.
After they left the room Beast Boy jumped up and began to walk towards the fridge. Cyborg intercepted him and stopped him.
"Oh no you don't! You're not getting anywhere near that fridge." Cyborg smirked.
"Dude, let me get the soy milk!" Beast Boy yelled.
Robin sighed, "Not again."
Starfire giggled happily.
Terra opened her door and stepped in first. Raven followed right behind her. Terra made a gesture for Raven to sit on the couch, but instead she assumed her meditation stance, levitating herself.
"So, you can't remember anything?" Raven said in her monotone.
Terra shook her head, "Not a thing." Terra's eyes widened and she quickly stopped Raven before she began talking, "But the last thing I can remember is waking up from a dream, some one told me that I owed them, and that she was going to take over my body and then they changed into Slade and he told me I didn't have any choice. I woke up and I felt relieved that it was just a dream. But after a few minutes I felt a stabbing pain in my back, like someone had jumped inside me." She paused and shook her head, "Then I blacked out, the next thing I know I'm in my room trying to remember what had happened to me. I mean I woke up and it was night, then yesterday I realize that it's day and it's no longer Monday, but Wednesday."
Raven looked at her, still no hint of emotion. "So you don't remember having a fight and kissing Robin?"
Terra looked at her, "No—" she had a frustrated look on her face, "Why does everyone keep bringing that up! I don't want to even know about that." Terra quivered again. Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww. She thought. "So what's happening to me? And what happened to Cyborg?"
Raven's mind was having a discussion all there own.
Raven, exactly what are you going to tell her?
Oh, I know. Tell her how you and Beast Boy made out last night in your room.
Oh sure Lust, that'll make for a wonderful conversation, 'Hey Terra, I made out with the guy you love.'
Hey, it's a wonderful conversation for me.
Tell her how you much you hate her.
Rage be quiet. Tell her how much you've missed her.
Love you're such a kiss &.
We should tell her how much fun we've been having.
Happy, go be perky somewhere else.
You should tell her how sorry we are for her current situation.
I know, tell her how we kicked Kayla's butt!
Raven rubbed her temples with her hands and sighed, "To make this brief, there are these creatures called Shadows. They live in there home dimension which is known as the Shadow Realm. Well the leader, which is like a queen, wanted Robin to be her husband. Robin refused and he had reaccuring nightmares of Starfire's death. Well despite Robin's pleas and orders, Starfire took some of my powers and used it to defeat Kayla in a battle, of course I helped too because Starfire wasn't strong enough. My guess is that Kayla used her powers to free you from your stone state. Only Shadow's have enough power to change someone's state without killing themselves. She revived you to get back at me for helping Starfire." Raven paused, closing her eyes, "Why she did that, I'm not sure—" She lied. "But it's a good thing she did that because it saved us a ton of time looking for a cure." She added quickly, not wanting to hurt her feelings and making her lose control of her powers. "Well Keyda, another shadow, returned here with us and she did that because she likes Cyborg. Well Keyda isn't as mean as Kayla and she didn't want to force Cyborg to leave with her and she couldn't stay here because she can't survive in sunlight. At least not for long periods of time. So instead of saying good bye, she gave Cyborg one of his deepest desires; his human body. And that's pretty much it." Raven took a deep, but even breath.
Terra looked both shocked and lost. "So why can't I remember the last few days?"
Raven looked at her suspiciously, "Well, one of two things could have happened. You're either don't want to remember the last two days and lie to us or Kayla could have taken over your body and used you as a way to survive Earth's conditions."
Insults are the first steps of a perfect fight! Keep it up Raven, call her something else.
Terra's face began to show signs of hurt and anger. Her hands glowed yellow, but faded soon after. Eyes closed, "I'm not a liar." She stated, trying to keep a low, even voice.
Raven doubted that, "Ya, that's why you became Slade's spy and betrayed us all." Raven said harshly.
Terra stood up and walked towards Raven, "You know what Raven? I didn't come back here for nothing! I gave up my life to save all of you, and this city! I don't deserve this kind of attitude! I've changed, that's why I came back here, and you guys were my only real friends!" She shouted, losing control of the level of her voice.
Raven's facial expression didn't change at all. She didn't trust Terra and that wasn't going to change instantly. "Well you'll have to earn my trust again. But this time, it's not going to be as easy as it was before. If you so much as harm a single hair on any of my friends I'll have you sent to another dimension in a heartbeat. Got it?"
Terra walked up to Raven, there face's only inches apart, "Got it."
Raven stood up and walked out of Terra's room. Without anyone knowing, Beast Boy, who was a fly on the wall, followed Raven outside the door. Once Raven was gone and out of sight, he turned back into his human form and knocked on Terra's door.
"Terra?" He asked.
"Who is it?" Terra asked, trying to keep her voice calm and collective.
"It's Beast Boy. Can we talk?" he asked as sweetly as he could.
Terra opened the door, "About what?"
