Titan's Universe
---------------------
Raven walked back into the medical ward and checked the unconscious, snoring Beastboy.
She mumbled, "Done with you."
On the other side of the ward were Kori, Tara, Richard and Jinxie.
Kori asked, "Friend Raven, what is occurring with your Terra?"
Raven said as she walked toward the four, "She is probably being examined."
Kori said with concern, "That is not my real question. What did she do to warrant such hostility?"
Tara piped up, "Yeah. What did the cranky schoolgirl do to tick off everyone?"
Richard warned, "Terra."
Jinxie whispered to Tara, "Don't worry about her now. You got more important things to do: Like how to protect me from their Jinx."
Tara whispered back, "What happened?"
Jinxie whispered back, "Her boyfriend kissed me."
Tara grimaced. "You are so dead, girl friend."
Raven stood in front of Richard. She reached out and grabbed one of his blistered arms. Darkness came out of her hands.
Richard sighed in relief.
Raven said, "If you done whispering, I'll tell the short version of it Ok?"
They all nodded.
Raven inhaled. "First Terra joined us. Terra has a secret that she couldn't control her power. Terra fell in love with Beastboy and told him the secret. Robin discovered secret; Terra blamed Beastboy. Terra left. Terra came back as an agent of our enemy Slade. Terra betrayed us. Terra beat us. Slade order Terra to kill Beastboy. Terra revolted and killed Slade with lava. Lava threatened city and Terra sacrificed herself to save city. Terra is alive, again. We don't why. Done!"
Four stunned faces stared at Raven. Raven just ignored them and continued healing Richard's arm.
Tara suddenly got angry, "You're telling me that a cheap version of me betrayed your group?"
Raven paused and then said, "Yes, and then she saved the city."
Richard said, "Calm down, Terra."
Terra stopped for a second before she said more calmly, "You mean she saved the city from the lava she created, right?"
Raven released Richard's arm and started to heal his shoulders. "Yes, Terra. The lava she used to kill Slade."
"Slade looked alive to me in that last fight."
"That, Terra, is another story."
"Ok, ok. None of that would have happened if she didn't betray you, right?"
Raven started to get angry. "True. I can't believe that I'm being forced to defend Terra."
Raven's communicator beeped.
She opened it and snapped, "What?"
Cyborg's voice cam back, "Woo girl. What has gotten you mad?"
"Nothing! Why the
call?"
"We need you to come down and check the other Cyborg.
You know him, the good looking guy we bought back from the other
dimension."
"Ok, I'll be right there."
Raven closed her communicator and it beeped again.
She snapped into it again, "WHAT?"
Robin voice asked, "Raven, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing, Robin. I'm fine. What do you need?"
"I need your opinion on the scans of Terra and then I need you to see someone else."
"Cyborg needs me, now. Can I see you after that?"
"Sure. Robin out."
Raven closed the communicator.
Kori asked, "Can I go with you, Friend Raven? I want to see my Cyborg again."
"Sure."
As Raven left, Kori and Richard followed. Jinx shrugged at Tara and they both followed.
---------------------------
Next to the shower, Jinx picked through various bottles of shampoos and conditioners.
"She wouldn't use this. Hmm, this must be Kori's. It's cheap stuff. This is not it… Ha! This must be Jinxie's conditioner; it's the only one I would use."
Jinx smiled a wide smile.
---------------------------
In the machine shop, Victor's body was up on a rack with several wires and tubes connected to him. Cyborg examined several consoles while Mikron was searching the shop.
Mikron said, "I can use this. This is junk… junk… junk… can use this…"
Cyborg said, "Hey, you can used some of the stuff. Don't take too much."
Mikron continued looking, "Hey, you guys owe me. I've been helping the titans for months."
At that point Raven walked in followed by the rest of the alternate dimensional titans.
Mikron squeaked, "Phoenix."
Cyborg said, "I told you five times: We have no Phoenix here. She is Raven."
Raven said, "Hi."
Mikron weakly said, "Hi."
Richard spoke up to Cyborg, "Hey, big guy. How is our Cyborg doing?"
Cyborg said seriously, "I don't want to say anything until Raven done with her examination."
Kori looked concerned.
Raven nodded and stepped up and closed her eyes. She held out her hands and a dark glow enveloped them. "There is a spell here."
Jinxie asked from back of the group, "A curse?"
"No, I don't sense a curse… It is a time freeze spell… thrown on his organic parts. And the magic don't feel like Phoenix's doing… it feels like mine."
Tara angrily asked, "Why would she do that? She is pure evil."
Raven said, "I think that this was the last spell your Raven cast before she became the Phoenix. It was a spell to save your Cyborg's life."
Tara said, "I don't
believe it."
Richard said, "Enough! Raven and Cyborg, can you
bring him back to life?"
Raven nodded and Cyborg said, "It shouldn't be a problem, but I have a question for you guys."
Richard asked, "What is it?"
Cyborg explained, "His power systems are shot. When I replace them, I would like to do a full upgrade at this time. With that spell in effect, it would the best time to do it, but I can't ask him. I want your permission to begin the upgrade."
Richard looked at Kori and Kori nodded.
Richard said, "Do it. I'll lend what help I can."
---------------------------------
In the room with Terra, Robin was explaining, "…and that black circle in the air was the gate that allowed the T-Car with our alternate dimension selves to return in the middle of that last fight."
Starfire cheerfully spoke up, "And our new friends are now safe and we have you back, too. A joyous day!"
Terra look down from the examination bed she was sitting on and said, "I guess I should apologize to the other me. I've been a little mean to her…"
The door to the room opened and in came Raven, Kori, Jinxie and Tara.
Tara glared at Terra and Terra just glanced at her then looked away.
Robin said, "Raven, look at this."
He handed her an X-ray of Terra's neck.
Raven frowned at it and said, "I don't know much about X-rays and this looks ok to me."
Jinxie, just to Raven's left, said, "That looks odd. Some damage at the base of the skull?"
Kori, just to Raven's right, said, "Yes, I see that. What about these tiny bits of… wire?… that form a path between damaged area and the skin's surface?"
Jinxie questioned, "Wires? What wires?… I think I see them. Hmm."
Robin grabbed the X-ray from Raven's hands and asked, "Where?"
Raven asked, "Guys?"
All three of them continued to talked around Raven.
Raven said, "I know what happened."
The three ignored her.
Starfire spoke up, "Friends, Raven has something to say."
The conversation continued.
Raven shouted, "Listen to ME!"
The three went silent.
Raven said, "First I have some question for the sitting Terra here. Were you conscious when you were turned to stone?
Terra softly responded, "Yes, but it with foggy. I remember reaching out into the lava to cool it down. Once I turned some lava into rock, I reach further out and did it again and again."
Raven nodded, "Did you hate the suit Slade put on you?"
Terra looked down, "Yes, I hated it… and hated what I'd become."
Raven asked, "Could you feel Slade's control implants against your nerves?"
Terra nodded.
Raven smiled a slight victory smirk. "Then its my guess that you pushed those implants out of your stony body, one by one, and damaged your nerves as you pushed them out. You'd destroyed your own power."
Terra in shock asked, "What?"
Raven continued, "And when your powers faded, you couldn't stay in your statue form. Your stony form turned back into flesh."
Terra said, "I still had some of my powers left when I woke up."
Raven said, "Oh?"
Terra continued, "Yes, I was barely able to fly to the teen tower. The place was dark. I heard later you guys were fighting the Brotherhood of Evil. The security door still let me in. You guys should change the security code ever so often. I got some clothes from my room and flew back to the city's shore. There I removed Slade's suit… Most of the wires were lose, but some were painful as they were pulled out from my skin."
Raven nodded. "Go on."
"It was then that I found out all my powers were gone. I got dressed and looked around the street for any lose coins. I used a pay phone to call my father, who I hate, and got him to pay for my schooling."
Robin said, "Good deduction, Raven."
Kori said, "Yes, I am most impressed."
The general buzz of conversation started up.
Terra glanced at Tara and nodded toward the door.
Tara turned and quietly left the room.
Terra said, "I'll be back. I have to go somewhere."
Terra left the room and Tara was waiting for her thirty feet down the hallway.
Terra walked to her and said, "Terra, I would like to-"
Tara interrupted, "I don't want to hear anything from you! I can't believe that you betrayed you own friends!"
Terra quietly said, "I know, but-"
Tara cut in again, "No 'but' about it. I don't want to hear any 'buts' from you, schoolgirl."
Terra said, "I will have to-"
Tara cut her off again, "You will have to leave, schoolgirl. They deserve someone better than you."
Terra said evenly, "I'm hearing this from a person who almost killed her own teammate, dangerous girl?"
Tara got angrier. "Who told you that, schoolgirl?"
Terra looked mad, too. "Robin told me what happened here so I could understand what happened to you people. And I was going to apologize to you, dangerous girl. No chance of that now."
Tara shouted, "Stop calling me dangerous girl, schoolgirl."
Terra shouted back, "Then stopping calling me schoolgirl, dangerous girl."
They growled at each other before Terra angrily turned away.
Tara asked, "Running away, again, schoolgirl?"
Terra turned around and got right up in Tara's face. "What do you suggest, Sister?"
Tara said, "Fight, you and me, right here, right now."
Terra smiled an angrily smile, "So you can blow me away with your powers? Do you think I'm stupid like you?"
Tara returned the hostile smile, "No Powers."
As they glared at each other, Terra just nodded.
They started swinging at each other.
--------------------------
Back in the examination room, Robin asked, "So you think you reverse the damage done to Terra?"
Raven said, "Yes. I can heal the nerve damage."
Starfire exclaimed, "Glorious. Let me tell Friend Terra."
Kori spoke up, "Yes, it is glorious, but Friend Starfire you are going back to the medical ward to receive treatment. You are not fully healed up."
Starfire complained, "But Friend Kori, I-"
Jinxie interrupted, "Where is my Terra? When did she leave?"
Robin said, "Ah, she is probably taking with our Terra. She should be fine."
Jinxie frowned, "Our Terra isn't too fond of your Terra."
Robin said, "No problem. I've explained the situation to our Terra and she said she was going to apologize. They're probably bonding with each other right now. Give them some time to talk."
Jinxie said, "I don't know about that."
Jinxie opened the door.
The weak sounds of grunts, curses and screeching came through the door.
Kori said, "uh-oh."
Jinxie ran out into the hallway only to see two very tired, weaken and beaten up combatants on the floor still trying to punch, kick, scratch and pull hair.
As Raven, Robin, Kori and Starfire came out into the hallway, Jinxie was heading toward the battling dual.
Raven remarked, "Yes, Robin. That looks like bonding to me."
Jinxie tried to separate them while saying, "Terra! Stop this!"
Both exhausted girls just redouble their fighting energies.
Robin yelled, "Stop it NOW!"
Both girls froze.
Robin reached down and grabbed the first wrist he saw and said, "Let go of her."
Jinxie grabbed a hand and Kori stepped up to help separate them.
Tara muttered, "I'll get you, schoolgirl."
Terra responded, "If it's only you, I got no problems at all, dangerous girl."
Robin commanded, "Shut Up!"
Then Robin said to Kori, "Please take my world's Terra out of here."
Then while Jinxie held Tara up, Robin started to examine Tara around the neck.
Jinxie looked uncertain and Tara complained, "I'm alright. You should be looking at the schoolgirl. I've giving her a beating."
Robin continued the examination, but now around the head.
He said, "Terra, our Terra was trained by Slade. If she was serious, you would be dead now."
Tara looked a little deflated, but said, "If I was serious, she wouldn't be standing."
Robin said, "Terra, from now on, you will be escorted by one of your team members."
Tara started to complain, "But I-"
Robin interrupted, "And our Terra will be escorted as well. Understand?"
Tara said weakly, "Yes."
