Beast Boy looked from left to right in the darkness backing up slowly. Where was he? He wasn't in the Tower anymore. It was too dark to see anything. The Changelingstarted toback up until he bumped into something hard. He whirled back to see Trigon towering over his bug-like body. Beast Boy squeaked as the giant, red demon laughed loudly. Then the least expected happened. His body switched to Terra still as tall as ever and still laughing at him.
"Terra…?" She stopped laughing and glared down at him.
"You gave up on me Beast Boy…"
"No, I didn't! I just…"
"Then where's my cure? You lied BB… I thought you loved me…" Terra growled angrily. Beast Boy hesitated and his hands that were in defense mode fell limp on his sides. He lowered his head so she wouldn't se his tears.
"I- I don't know anymore, Terra… I… found someone… new." Terra's eyes narrowed into slits, showing her hatred for him. Beast Boy could feel her stinging glare and it was burning through his soul. "…I'm sorry…" Beast Boy sobbed, barely containing his frantic tears.
"It's all about Raven now, is it?" She hissed lowly, crossing her arms. The green man shot his eyes up to her tall form just to find her cold, dark pools of raw hatred glare at his hurt, green ones. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. He was speechless. Terra scoffed. "So what we had was just practice? It didn't have a meaning? I thought I knew you better than this." Terra snarled with not just emotional pain but with the feeling of being betrayal falling over her face.
"That's not it Terra, I just had to move on with my life like the others told me to do! I'm sorry, OK?" Beast Boy blurted out. Tara turned her back on him as if she couldn't face him anymore. "I told you already, I'm sorry! We couldn't find a cure! There wasn't a cure! I don't know what you expect from me!" He snapped suddenly angry. Terra sighed and trailed her fingers through her blonde hair.
"There was a cure. You didn't look hard enough. It was only a matter of time before someone finally got me out…" Beast Boy's hairs nearly popped off his skin once he heard this.
"What are you talking about?" He asked in concern. She didn't answer as she began to walk away from him. "Terra, wait! Terra! Terra…"
"Terra… don't leave…" Beast Boy groaned grabbing at his pillow. His eyes snapped open and his figure snapped up quickly, his green skin cloaked in sweat and drool. "Terra…" He muttered as he got up to get dressed and sneak out Titans' Tower.
In Terra's dark cavern Beast Boy stared up at what seemed to be nothing. He backed up from where Terra used to stand and fell to his knees. "Terra…?" He questioned to himself.
Terra ran to a phone booth with a shiny quarter glimmering in between her fingers. She shoved the coin into its slot and began to dial frantically. Marcello had already given her his phone number. After about a couple of minutes of ringing, he answered with his usual cool and collected voice.
"Yeah?" Terra grinned happily to his voice.
"This is Terra; I've got all the money we need." Terra answered genuinely shaking her bag. Marcello chuckled, obviously happy in Terra's work.
"Great job, kid. I knew you could do it… so, you can come back here and take a break." Terra found just one thing wrong in what he had just said; she couldn't fly all the way back to Jump City without taking multiple breaks and getting there in a month.
"Uh, boss…"
"I'll get the same guy that flew you to Gotham to get you back here. You have to meet him on the same building that you got off on. But I heard he got problems with that copter ever since he came back to Jump City… something about it getting shot or something." Terra urged herself not to ask about that last comment and focus on the thing that mattered. "So you might as well try to find a hotel or something and get comfortable. Get a job and such." He suggested lazily.
"But what about the money I got…?"
"That's work money. You don't use that you just give it to me." Terra didn't bother and agreed. She hung up and walked out the booth, looking up at the tall buildings that seemed to tilt as they grew higher. The blonde Markov blinked as she noticed that the sun was beginning to rise.
"Great. I didn't even sleep yet… but then again, I've been sleeping for a year so it's not that bad. I don't feel that sleepy anyway." She shrugged while walking around, on her quest to looking for a job. But then she noticed another thing. She needed a change in clothes. These would now be called a costume from now on. If Batman were to be crawling around the streets with her in the same clothes that would be bad news for her. Terra doubted that he saw her face properly anyway but what about the guy in the green, black, yellow and red? He seemed to recognize her all too well…
'…It was probably just a false guess.' She thought to herself as she removed her hat and kept walking to whatever destination awaited her in Gotham.
That night Robin called the Titans to report the latest news like he always did ever since he arrived to meet his mentor. "Titans, do you read?"
"Yeah, yeah, I got it…" Cyborg complained after answering. "What's up Robin?" He asked with the others right behind him carrying eager faces.
"I'm here to report recent sightings in-…"
"Yeah, I know that, I mean what is it?" Cyborg interrupted pleading for his leader to hurry up with his midnight call. Robin mentally sighed and answered,
"Bruce Wayne's mansion has just been robbed…" he began with a frown. "I didn't get to stopthe robberbut I got a pretty good look at her face and I have a funny feeling it was Terra." Robin blurted out seriously not bothering to waste time. Beast Boy squeaked but no one heard him.
"Robin, I do not think Terra could have gotten out. We were unsuccessful in finding a cure for her…" Starfire bravely stood up but the green boy quickly forced himself into the chat.
"There was a cure; we just didn't look hard enough!" The team stared at him in surprise. Raven sighed.
"Beast Boy I looked through every book from Azarath and none of them say anything about stone. That was a rare situation. There was no cure." Raven corrected coldly, not wanting to think of her mortal enemy at the moment. Beast Boy glared.
"There was a cure." Beast Boy growled like he wanted to start an argument. Robin suddenly cut in.
"Well, we're not sure. I'm going to look into it with Speedy." The boy-wonder replied. "Robin out." He cut off their connection signaling that the chase has just begun.
