-1You Can Never Forget

Chapter 1: Rediscovered

The stars were unusually bright tonight. From what she heard, a creature had attacked at the recycling plant, but somehow got into the power lines, causing a city-wide blackout. She was leaning against a wall on the roof of the building, looking up at the sky.

"Stars; You used to love sleeping outside."

"Not me. I hate camping out; too many bugs.."

It was strange how since yesterday she seemed to appreciate it more.

The smile that had just formed faded away as she remembered what had happened earlier. She felt like such a bitch for what she had said to him. He looked broken-hearted when she turned around to face him again.

"But I'm not the girl he thinks I am!" she shouted to no one in particular. Then in a whisper, she added, "Or am I?" There had been moments when he was talking to her where she felt like it might explain some stuff, or she felt some familiarity. The other day, on her way to school, she saw the Titans fighting a creature. It had been more than her human curiosity that had kept her there longer than she should have been, but she felt like she should have been there, too, fighting the monster, beside them.

Of course, who wouldn't want to have been a superhero? But no, there was something else there, something more… Tara shook her head. No, it couldn't have been too long ago, and she could remember further back than that. Or could she?

Her entire childhood was a blur up until the start of her freshman year last year, and even then there were gaps in some of her memories. It was normal for memory to fade, or not to remember something, but nothing like this. Nowhere in any of them could she locate any of her teachers, or her two "best" friends. There also some where she could remember it clearly, except for some crucial parts, where there wasn't even a trace of a memory. It was just too suspicious.

With a flicker, the lights came back on and Tara sighed, heading back inside. On her way towards the door, se felt strangely energetic. A power was rushing through her. Next to her, she saw some of the gravel that had been on the ground levitating at the same level as her head.

"Earth! You can move the earth!" she remembered him telling her. Of course that had been just before he threw dirt in her face and she chewed him out. But there was no doubt this was an exertion of those powers of the traitor he had once known and she could've sworn she wasn't.

In that brief moment of shock, the gravel fell back to the ground where it belonged, surprising her back to her senses. She backed towards the door, not taking her eyes off of it until she closed the door, thinking, I can't let anyone know about this.

"Please, friend, why do you not tell us what happened?" begged Starfire.

Cyborg answered in Beast Boy's place, "Isn't it obvious? He got dumped."

"Why don't you just shut up!" the green shape shifter yelled at Cyborg. Taking a couple moments, he calmed down and said, "It's just time for me to let her go…"

From behind a horror novel, Raven spoke up, "It's better for her this way anyway." The other four Titans looked at her, surprised she cared what happened to Terra, considering they never got along. "Think about it. Between her not being able to control her powers and unintentionally causing mass destruction, and being manipulated by Slade into intentionally causing mass destruction, it might just be too hard on her to remember. At least now she has a life."

"And besides," Robin added on. "We can't have you ditching us all the time like you did today and yesterday."

"And the day before that…" Raven reminded.

"I get the idea!" he shouted. "I'm goin' to bed." And with that, he turned to leave.
