Chapter 1: Never Give Up
He left.
He had actually left.
No more begging, no more tears, no more sleepless nights – over him. Terra realized that
if he had said one more word – tried one more time, she would've given up – yet she was
thankful that he didn't. For she had decided long ago that he was better off without her.
He had left – but it wasn't over. Beast Boy assured himself it would not be over until
every time her head lied down, his hand would be there to cushion it. Beast Boy was
determined – and he had decided long ago that he would never give up on her.
"Beast Boy where were you!"
As Beast Boy ran onto the scene he gasped at what he saw – each Titan had been taken down – their bodies lying over the gray pavement – but by whom? He ran to Cyborg and Starfire, who were closest to each other, and helped them up, followed by Raven and Robin.
"What happened?"
Robins responded as Starfire again fell to her knees, "It was Slade – he's back, and he took us down."
"Slade! Where'd he go?" He said with profuse resolve, however his feeling of immortality was quickly destroyed by Raven.
"What does it matter? Are you really willing to go after him on your own and get yourself killed?"
He sighed in defeat, bringing an awkward silence among the group that thankfully was broken by Cyborg.
"Let's head back to the tower."
Injured and embarrassed, the group complied, trudging off to Cyborg's car, each (leave Beast Boy) exhausted. As the forced themselves into the car, unbeknown to them, far in the distance, a masked man was watching.
"You should thank me Titans, for if I attacked now, I would easily take the city. But I do enjoy it when you attempt to put up a fight."
He turned and walked off, "Rain-check."
Raven was hunched over on her bed, Robin and Starfire were in recliners - sleeping, and
Cyborg was sprawled out on the couch, with Beast Boy on the floor, every so often staring at him, but when Cyborg attempted eye contact, the changeling would look away.
He groaned, "What do you want Green Bean."
"I need some help – with ..."
Cyborg cut him off, "Don't even say it, unless what you were going to say was video games or overcoming your vegetarianism."
"But Cyborg I know it's her!"
Now Cyborg stood, "What's your point?" He forced out coolly.
"What if she has amnesia?"
"What if she doesn't want to remember?" Cyborg countered. Beast Boy cringed at the memory of Slade telling him the exact same thing.
"Think about Terra, Cyborg, she would want to remember."
"I beg to differ." Cyborg had just begun to walk towards the kitchen when he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.
"Please Cyborg," the changeling whined softly.
Cyborg sighed, "I'll talk to the kid, but if she doesn't want in, I'm not making her – so don't get over excited about -"
Too late.
"Thanks Cyborg you're the best!" A grinning Beast Boy ran off to his room.
From a distance, Cyborg peered in through the window at the girl – this was the first time a Titan besides Beast Boy had even seen her – and she did look like Terra.
A bell rang, causing Cyborg's head to pop up – but just in time noticing Terra leaving the classroom. He raced to the side of the building and quickly leaned against the wall – he had to act natural.
Terra walked out – a red-haired and black-haired at her side..
"Hey kid."
Terra almost looked over, but quickly corrected herself and looked the other way.
Cyborg noticed.
"Terra," he called out.
All three girls turned to him, the redhead whispered to Terra, "Tara, he's cuter than the green guy, think you can hook me up after he's done stalking you."
"I disagree," Terra smiled, "and no. Let's go, I'm not in the mood for one of them today."
Terra held out her A+ essay, Cyborg ran up and peered over her shoulder.
"Nice, but next time shoot for extra credit."
Terra turned and attempted to slap Cyborg, but his giant hand caught her.
"Let go of me."
"We need to talk." He countered.
"Later."
"Tomorrow, at 3:10 at the Pizza Shop, if you aren't there, I'll come get you."
"What, your trying to convince me I'm Terra by asking me out, Terra spat out.
Cyborg ginned, "Whatever kid," he let go of her hand and walked off.
Now the black-haired piped in, "Do you think we need to report this guy."
The redhead countered, "No it wasn't that bad. But did you get his number?"
Terra stared at the clock, a familiar site that she had been staring at all day. Her teacher was in front of the chalkboard, giving some pointless lesson that Terra already knew, and thus she was completely ignoring her.
The teacher noticed.
"Is there a problem Tara?"
"Uh ..." Terra's eyes switched from the teacher to the clock and back.
5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1.
"No." The bell rang before the teacher could further investigate, and she sighed as she watched her students go out the door.
Terra hurried to the Pizza Shop, she didn't want to risk another Titan coming to get her. She peered into the window as she walked to the door – Cyborg was already there. Opening the door and plopping her stuff down at the orange table – glaring at him the entire time, she sat.
"What?"
"So what kind of pizza do you like?" Cyborg was playing with her.
"Cheese," Terra lied.
"Hm."
"Anything else?"
" You know why I'm here, now it's your turn to ask a question. Anything you want to know?"
"No." Terra got up to leave, but was stopped by Cyborg.
"If you leave I'll see you tomorrow." She sat.
"Fine, who exactly is this Terra person."
"Terra if your going to lie to me, I'll see you tomorrow. But, if you don't want to go back, all you have to do is tell me."
"Fine, I don't want to go back."
"But you know who you are?"
"Yes."
"Good, now just tell Beast Boy that."
"But you said ..."
"I lied, Tara."
Cyborg walked out the door, leaving a steaming Terra in his place.
Terra's teacher looked at her, this was the second day she was off. And Tara Markov was never off.
"Tara, I need to speak to you."
Terra started to arise from her desk, but was stopped.
"After class."
Terra slumped back into her desk right as the bell rang.
"What?" Terra spat out – she was still a little bit mad.
"What's going on with you?"
Now Terra's voice softened, "I've just had to do some things after school."
The teacher raised her eyebrow, "Anything I need to know about?"
"No, today's the last day."
"Ok then, you can go."
Terra practically ran out of the room, if she knew Cyborg, he had told Beast Boy to meet her at the Pizza shop – and as she again approached the door, she peered in, she was right – wait – WRONG?
Terra spun around, where would Beast Boy want to meet her? Suddenly her eyes widened, Cyborg had already told him – she knew where he was.
Terra just stared straight ahead as she approached the amusement park.
Next update: within 4 days, probably in 2 days, maybe in 1, all depends.
