Chapter: 7
Part 1

"BEAST BOY!" Terra yelled, reaching down to try and grab his hand. She missed though and instead slid off the rock. Weird… she didn't see anyone around. Terra had her back turned to the rock she'd just been sitting on, but before she knew what was going on, she felt it fly out from the back of her legs, causing her to fall back on it. It was cold… and covered in ice. It tipped over after rising a bit, sending the blonde to the ground. She hit the concrete and moaned.

Beast Boy struggled against Madam Rouge's tight grip. His pupils disappeared as he changed into a rhino and charged forward, breaking free from the villainess's grip though being thrown aside by yellow beams.

Terra stood up, rubbing her side. That had hurt. She was forced to jump aside as a blast of fire was sent shooting down at her. She pulled up a shield of rock around herself, glaring. Not these guys again- Terra's thoughts were cut off by letting out a yelp as she was shoved into the rock wall she had forced up from the ground. She wheeled around to see Sierra smirking at her before throwing a punch. Terra blocked it and continued blocking the punches the ice girl threw. She finally ducked one, causing Sierra's fist to meet with the rock. Terra brought her foot up, pulling Sierra down by the ankle only to have more fire shot down at her.

Beast Boy shook off the hit and blew through his nose, more then annoyed he morphed into a T-rex though it was risky due to the tight space. And it didn't stop Night Hawk and her swift zooms through the air and eye beams. He made snaps at her but she was almost impossible to hit in this slower form. He had to resume human for the moment, but it was a mistake as Rouge's hand wrapped around his ankle and threw him in the air. Where Night Hawk hit the green elf with her eye beams.

Beast Boy let out a short yell as he was thrown into some dumpsters, though waited, until one of them wondered if he was finished and walked within range.

Sierra shot up into the air, Terra followed, letting the piece of concrete beneath her feet shoot up after her.

Angel flew up behind Terra, grabbing her arms and holding her there. Terra grunted as she struggled against Angel's grip. She her eyes grew slightly wider when she paused to watch Sierra create a piece of ice and sharpen it. A glare formed on Terra's face and she managed to flip herself behind Angel. She didn't care that it was a long fall down; she easily summoned another piece of concrete up to her to land under her feet.

Terra flew down the ally way, Angel right behind her. The fact that Terra was forcing dagger-sharp, spike-like rocks to shoot from the ground wasn't stopping Angel (she also forced them back down after Angel passed because first off, they took up too much space and it juts made it more difficult for Beast Boy and her, and so that she or Beast Boy wouldn't get hurt). Terra yelped when an ice block collided with her rock. "Oh, come on!" she snapped, clearly becoming annoyed with these girls. She flew closer the ground now but skidded the rock to a stop as Sierra landed right in front of her. Terra glared backing off, but this didn't help, seeing as how Angel was right behind her.

Night Hawk flew a little closer to the heap of cans and garbage Beast Boy had been thrown into, but as she peered in, she learned it was a mistake as a large tiger leaped from the bags, pinning her down and snarling. Night Hawk glared before shooting Beast Boy in the face with her beams, enough to make him stumble back in a retreat.

Madam Rouge watched from the side lines, she would admit, her new 'team' needed elbow grease. She turned her head to watch as Beast Boy threw Night Hawk into the building wall. Okay, maybe some more grease then she thought. With a frustrated sigh, Rouge whipped her hand out and smacked Beast Boy up by the chin, in his rhino form it was still enough pressure to make him stumble back once more.

Terra glared, her eyes glowing golden yellow. She once more forced two concrete hands up from the ground, one behind each of the girls. Both Angel and Sierra paused as they were shadowed over by something. The two of them both turned around, but were too slow in attacking as both the concrete hands grabbed the girls, holding them in a fist. Terra's eyes went back to normal, watching Sierra and Angel struggle before smirking.

Rouge signaled Night Hawk towards Terra before taking a step closer to Beast Boy, who had his head lowered in a charging position. "I remember you," She told him before dodging his charge then grabbing his thick leg and tripping him in a counter attack. "You were the little boy that almost destroyed us," she accused, right before having to dodge the ham fist of a giant gorilla.

Night Hawk, taking her cue ran towards Terra, hoping she could get this attack right, this time. Her eyes glowed a vibrant yellow as she threw a punch towards the blonde.

Terra, who'd been taking a quick breather before going to help Beast Boy, had her back turned to Rouge and Night Hawk. The young geomancer quickly realized her mistake as she felt someone's fist make contact with her. "AH!" Terra yelped, being shoved forward and almost falling to the ground. She caught herself though, shooting a death glare up at her attacker.

Night Hawk smirked and twirled her fingers at Terra's direction, mocking her in clear tone. A swift moment later though, she had her eye beams upon the geomancer and that was followed by a quick snatch-and-grab. Though her hand held Terra's hair, it would hurt, a lot, if Terra tried anything now. Night Hawk smirked again, this time, proudly.

Beast Boy was thrown aside once more, in human form he groaned. As much as his pride hated to admit it, they needed back up. He quickly stood up once more and dodged the shooting hand towards him and morphed into a hawk, flying over the fence, though he was forgetting someone. Beast Boy resumed human form once more and looked back. "Terra!" He yelled.

Terra glared at Night Hawk, but couldn't help the pained expression she knew was on her face. She was being held by her hair; that HURT! Terra bit her lip before, contemplating the only thing she could think up doing to get free without hurting herself even more. Terra sighed, closing her eyes. In one swift movement, pulled the knife Beast Boy had give to her from her pocket, flipped it open, and brought it down fast and hard enough to cut through her hair. Of course it was uneven and choppy, but there really wasn't any way to avoid that. Her hair fell about right below her shoulders but she paid no attention right now as a rock she'd pulled up from the ground forced her upward more into the air. She sat on her knees, rubbing her head as she steered the rock over the fence she'd seen Beast Boy pass over.

Beast Boy hadn't had time to have the slightly shocked expression his face was sure to have later as he morphed into a falcon and swiftly kept up with Terra, getting out of harms way for the moment.

Night Hawk looked down at the handful of bright blonde hair in her hands, sighing with frustration she threw it aside.

Terra looked back at Beast Boy, just to be sure he was there before continuing on, rubbing her head still. Once she thought they were far enough away, she slowed down a bit, glancing at Beast Boy since she had no idea where the heck they were going.

Beast Boy caught her message and flew ahead of Terra, leading the way towards their current home. He swooped down and morphed back to his regular human form at the last minute. He looked up at Terra, waiting for her to land with a blank look on his face.

Terra landed after him, standing up slowly. She pulled some of her hair into her range of vision and groaned. She shook it away, glancing at Beast Boy, then the house, then back to Beast Boy.

Beast Boy smiled at her, "Oh c'mon, it's not that bad, really." He placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Yes it is," Terra said gloomily. "It's short. I don't like my hair short."

"Awww c'mon! Think of it as a try for a new look!" Beast Boy tried cheering her up as he walked towards the house, hoping they wouldn't be in trouble for being late. Not like it was their fault really!

Terra shrugged. She didn't like new. Well, with some things she didn't. She dragged her feet along, following him at a slug pace towards the house.

Beast Boy walked in first, leaving the door open for Terra, "We're home!" He yelled loudly.

"And better have good reasoning!" Mento's voice warned from the other room, probably kitchen. Beast Boy sighed, well at least he had a good it-wasn't-our-fault on his side.

Terra didn't flinch at Mento's yelling. First off, she knew it was coming, and secondly, she was too annoyed and angered with what had just happened to care. She sluggishly dragged herself in, closing the front door behind her.

Mento came walking in with crossed arms and an annoyed look on his face. Narrow eyes, hard jaw, yeah it was easy to tell. He glanced at them both then looked back at Terra's hair, raising an eye brow under the helmet. "Well?"

"Wasn't our fault we're late!" Beast Boy complained. "We got ambushed."

Terra stood, cross armed and slightly pouting. "Same group that we fought last time," she grumbled.

Elasta Girl came into the room that moment. "Ambushed?" she asked, her previous look of slight annoyance at Beast Boy and Terra being late turning to worry. "Well, are you both okay?"

Terra half nodded and half shrugged. She was okay, just… mad.

Beast Boy looked at Terra then back at the two adults. "I think so, Ter got a hack job though," he smirked.

Terra shot Beast Boy a (mostly) joking glare and playfully punched him. Not hard though.

Elasta Girl looked over at Terra, examining her now uneven hair. "That's nothing I can't fix," she smiled.

"You can fix it?" Terra asked, brightening up a bit.

"Well, I can't make it grow back-" at these words, Terra's face fell again. "-but I can make it look better."

"Keep this attitude up, and with your new hair we're going to have a blonde Raven." Beast Boy joked to Terra, nudging her arm slightly.

"Where was the ambush?" Of course, Mento would be the one to ask that.

"In an uh- alley..."

Mento gave Beast Boy a look that said something along the lines 'oh, we don't have a ton of those or nothing'.

"Umm- not far from our house." Beast Boy added, Mento nodded satisfied with that and turned around and left, probably to his desk in the garage.

"What were you two doing in an alley, anyways?" Negative Man asked, coming into the room as well.

"We were running a little late, so decided to take a short cut," Terra said.

"Caught a movie, lasted longer then we thought." Beast Boy added in.

Negative Man nodded before going back into the kitchen.

Terra's attention went back to her hair, shaking her head around a little. Well… her head was lighter. Other then that it was just annoying. She'd always had long hair.

"I can help you fix that now if you want," Elasta Girl offered.

Terra sighed, nodding her okay.

"Love to see your brothers face if he found out what happened to your hair," Beast Boy whispered to Terra, trying not to laugh at the picture.

"Wouldn't that be funny," Terra said, trying not to laugh at the picture of that too. She let a smile come to her face though as Elasta Girl started heading upstairs. Terra followed her, glancing back at Beast Boy, giving him a 'this should be fun' look.

"I wanna watch!" Beast Boy followed the two girls, not having anything else to do really.

Terra grinned. Having Beast Boy there always made things more fun.

Elasta Girl led the two teens up to one of the other spare bed room. In the room was a wooden chair and (luckily) an extra pair of scissors. She pulled the chair out to the middle of the room and took the scissors. "Just have a seat right there," she said. Terra nodded and sat down a bit unsurely, gripping the arm rests nervously. She'd always hated haircuts for some reason.

Beast Boy didn't enter the room, in fear while she was at it Elasta Girl decided he needed a hair cut too. Better safe then sorry. He crossed his arms and leaned on the door frame, watching. In a way he would be kinda, disappointed at Terra's hair cut. He liked the long blonde hair, but she was still... Terra. So he wouldn't fret over it.

Terra glanced over at Beast Boy, letting out a sigh and grinning nervously.

Elasta Girl started cutting Terra's hair, evening it out more and making it look good. Terra was nervously drumming her fingers and tapping one foot when she heard "Oops…" from Elasta Girl. The poor blonde's face immediately fell.

"What do you mean… 'oops'?" She asked, eyes wide.

"I'm just kidding, Terra, relax," Elasta Girl laughed when she heard a deep relieved sigh come from Terra.

"That was so…" Terra started, sounding really whiny, but it soon turned to a laugh. "mean," she finished off.

Beast Boy snorted, "Good one," he laughed.

"You're not the only jokester around here," Elasta Girl smiled. "Just the biggest."

"And I shall proudly hold that title." Beast Boy laughed.

"I don't think I trust you with scissors anymore," Terra joked, pretending to pout. Though, she had to admit, it had been a kind of funny joke.

"Don't worry Terra, if you are to fear anyone with scissors, I think you should fear Cyborg, last time he tried to 'trim' my hair I came out looking like I got mangled... though that might have been on purpose..." Beast Boy recalled.

Terra laughed. "I wouldn't doubt that," she said.

"Stop moving before I really do mess up," Elasta Girl teased.

That shut Terra up pretty quickly. Elasta girl finished up a few minutes later. Terra's hair was much shorter then when they had first met. It was now shoulder length ( a little choppy so that when it grew back it would kind of layer), yet those two strands that never stayed put were still a little longer. "Do you want those trimmed?" Elasta Girl asked.

Terra shook her head no. "They're fine," she said. She shook her head a bit more, her hair was so short! She stood up, running her fingers through her hair for a minute.

"Nice Terra," Beast Boy smiled, the hair made her look... older in a way. He didn't hate it, he kind of liked it actually. Though the longer hair was better in his mind.

"Eh," Terra shrugged, not sounding too happy about it as she stood up. "It does look better then what I did to it," she tried to joke. "Thanks Rita," she said, half smiling.

"You're welcome, Terra," Elasta Girl said, placing the scissors back into a drawer. She walked over and pulled the chair back to it's regular spot. She smiled at the two and left the room.

Terra stared at her reflection in the mirror. She couldn't really say she liked it. She sighed. "You really think it looks okay?" she asked.

Beast Boy nodded, smiling warmly. "Yes Terra, it looks fine! Honest!"

Terra sighed and turned around to face Beast Boy. "Okay…" she said, sounding a bit unsure. She walked over, stopping in front of him. "Did you wanna just go back downstairs, or… what?" she asked.

Beast Boy shrugged, "If you really hate your hair that much, we can always use super glue, you know." He joked.

"It's not that bad," Terra said, grinning. "It's just gonna take some time to get used to. That's all."

"I can't wait to see the others faces," Beast Boy snickered.

"Oh yay," Terra said sarcastically. "Doesn't that sound like a bundle of joy." She just couldn't wait for her millionth trip down to Teasing Town.


HA! We're evil xD But yeah, I got the idea of cutting Terra's hair after looking at old comic book pages. Her hair used to be short at times O-o So we needed an idea to cut it, then I saw a add for some ninja show I don't watch, Narato, or somthing like that I think. When that girl with pink hair cut her own hair when somone was holding her by it. So yeah, that wasn't an orginal idea.
