Terra hugged the blanket to herself. She was curled up in the hospital bed in Titan's Tower's infirmary. Wires connected to electrodes snaked out from under the blanket, an IV was in her arm and oxygen was being pumped directly to her nose.

But the girl was obviously still distraught. And it did not seem to be because her only covering was the blanket, asher helping Cyborg take Slade's armor was the most energy the girl had shown. When he allowed Robin, Starfire and most of all Beast Boy into the room, she immediately looked away. Dim blue eyes staring out into space.

Not meeting the curious gaze of her now caretaker, Cyborg.

Not meeting the judgemental gaze of the ever moral, Robin.

Not meeting the exceedingly cheerful gaze of the nigh-eternally cheerful Starfire. Why did she have to pretend this was so damn happy, anyway?

And definitely not Beast Boy. She tried. She really did. But what if instead of the hate of someone betrayed by the girl dear to him, he looked at her with forgiveness. What if he had never forgiven her and looked at her the way Raven had looked at her when she hadthreatenedto kill him? What if he felt something she couldn't imagine and she couldn't cope with it? Worse-what if she could? What kind of monster must she be to shake off betraying and fighting the very people who were making sure she was back to human?

"Terra.", Robin started. "I need to ask you some questions."

Terra didn't respond.

"I need to know everything you can tell me about Jinx.", Robin continued. "Do you know what she did to free you? Did she tell you what she's up to?"

Starfire burst in. "Yes. Please tell us, friend Terra/"

"I'm not your damn friend!", Terra screamed. She tried to throw her pillow at the alien. It landed barely off the edge of the bed when the IV line pulled at her arm.

Terra clenched her teeth against the pain of the needle in her vain straining against the muscle she tried to use. "I tried to kill you. I used you. I sold you out to the worse person I could find. And not because I hated you, or you did something against me, or needed it in some sinister sense but because I was going to get something in return. I wanted a bribe and I tried to sell you for it."

"Then I wanted you dead. Because if you lived you would always remind me of what I am. If you were all dead I could at least pretend. I could pretend to forget. I could help someone and pretend that I was a good person."

Beast Boy took a step forward. "Terra, please/"

"Don't you touch me!", Terra cried. And she continued to cry. "How dare you try to comfort me as if you need to apologize to me, of all people, for what I've done. How can you take me in after what I did the last time you did? How can you be happy to see me? How can you spend so much to make sure I'm healthy after I tried to bury you all?"

Then she glared at all of them. "What gives you the right?"

And the room turned black. She couldn't see anyone or anything. Except when she looked straight up. Two glowing white eyes told her everything she needed to know at the moment. 'Be afraid enough to obey.'

"I'm going to ask you one more time.", Robin's disembodied voice told her. "What do you know about Jinx?"

Terra had stopped her tantrum instantly. "Nothing. I woke up with her lips on mine in the cave. She dragged me to your door. That's it. I swear."

Robin lowered his cape. The light of the room came screaming back in. She saw the horrified faces of the other Titans as Robin slid off the bed. "Thank you. That's all I needed to know."

"How could you do that to someone in her condition?", Cyborg asked.

"How could you do that to anyone?", Starfire added.

"Hasn't she been through enough?", Beast scolded.

Terra returned to crying into her blanket. "No, no, no...", she chanted.

"He can do that because he's a bad mother/"

"Shut your mouth.", Raven scolded Jinx.

Jinx tossed a sideways glance at Raven while sliding into the room. By altering the probability of the molecular placement of the floor against her boots, she lowered the friction caused by such interactions to a coeficient that allowed her to skate across the room.

She stopped in front of Robin. She took stock of him, from face to crotch. "Lookin' good, Boy Wonder.", Jinx declared.

Robin pointed at her while glaring at Robin. Jinx was confident Robin wouldn'tmurder Raven while she was taking a bath, but she wouldn't be able to prove it after that glare.

Raven shrugged. "I'll need to talk to you later."

"What's her problem?", Jinx asked while scoffing at the crying teen on the bed. "You'd think Goldilocks would be happy to move an inch, let alone all the way back here."

"Maybe she's a good person dealing with her issues and not a collosally evil bitch!", Beast Boy screeched at her.

Jinx smirked. "Alright, I'll buy that."

Then she turned to Raven. "Outy.", she said casually. With a burst of pink shine, there wasn't a trace of Jinx.

"Robin.", Raven called his attention. "By later, I meant right now."
