Before I start this chapter, I would like to apologize. A lot of my writing up to this point must look strange, see I had intended to separate scenes with dividers, which I could do on word by hitting underscore four times, and then enter. However, I just realized that on fanfiction, word's underscores, and you have to do them in the editing section, like I did in the first chapter. Apologies to all who are confused, and if need be I may go back and redo all of it to add the lines.


"Isn't there any way we can get our friend out of pain?" Starfire pleaded, rattled by the scream of last night.

"I don't think so Star, Cyborg says he's done the research, we just have to be supportive," Robin stayed calm, despite the growing anxiety of Starfire.

"Do you think Beast Boy can handle all of this?" Raven spoke up.

"Eh grass stai – uh – Beast Boy has been through worse." Robin smirked at Cyborg's near mistake. Just then Beast Boy and Terra walked in, Beast Boy was supporting Terra as he led her to the couch. The Titans, at a lost for words, could only stare at Terra's shock from the traumatic dream.

"Beast Boy, can I talk to you?" Raven broke the silence yet again.

"Can it wait?" Raven gritted her teeth.

"No."

"'Kay."

They both walked out of the room, successfully stealing the Titan's attention away from Terra, for about a second.

"Can it wait; did you really ask me if I could wait?"

"Come on Raven, I didn't mean it like that, it's just Terra needed me."

"Terra doesn't need in particular, I do, and all you're doing is spending time around, or talking about Terra. Even if we're alone! How could you be so ..."

"Raven."

"Don't cut me off – How could you ..." This time Beast Boy pressed his lips to hers.

"I would never leave you, I just want to help Terra, and if it was any one else you would expect me to do the same."

Raven blushed, and then blushed more when she realized she was blushing. By the time she was done she was the color of Santa Claus' nose.

"I'm sorry."

"You don't have to be, now I'm gonna go back inside, okay?"

Raven grinned, "'Kay."


Night came, and given his talk with Raven Beast Boy again decided to stay in Terra's room.


Terra awoke to a maroon atmosphere. She again saw herself and the tall figure. She was running, but lasers were firing after her.

"Good Terra, dodge them, excellent." The lasers and she simultaneously stopped.

"Thank you for training me, I think I'm good enough to be a Titan now."

"Terra, who said anything about becoming a Titan?"

"Well, they offered me a chance to be on the team, so I figured ..."

"But what about your debt to me?"

"Debt?"

"Why yes Terra, it took a lot of effort to train you, and it's only fitting that you repay me."

"B – but I thought ..."

"Thought I would do it for free? Nonsense Terra!"

"No ..."

"Tsk Terra, you see you really have no choice, should you refuse to fulfill your debt, I may have to inform the Titan's of exactly where you got your 'training,' and besides, all I ask is that you give me – information."

"I – I'll do whatever you want."

"Good girl, and besides, if the Titans really care about you, they'll take you back even after your done."

FLASH

Beast Boy: So it was all a game? You were just pretending?
Terra: No. You said you'd be my friend no matter what, remember?

(She reaches out to touch his shoulder, but he gives her the hardest glare he can and turns away.)

Beast Boy: Slade was right. You don't have any friends.

FLASH

Terra sees a figure, reminiscent of herself, except she's in some kind of suit...


Rather than waking with a start, Terra just shivered open, of course this was still enough movement to wake Beast Boy.

"Terra! Are you ok?"

"I – I'm fine."

"What happened, in the dream?"

Terra faced him, but cast her eyes down, "I finished training, and I was much better, but my trainer said I owed him a debt, and if I refused he would tell you guys who he was. Then you and I were on the Ferris wheel and you said..."

"I know what I said," now Beast Boy quickly glanced down, but then shot his eyes back upwards, and gently forced Terra's blue eyes to his green, "and I never should have said that, I was wrong Terra, you have tons of friends, I'm your friend."

They embraced, the warmth of the hug slowly calming Terra as Beast Boy rocked her through the night.
