Chapter 2: Next Encounter

Beast Boy was the first to react.
"Terra!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, running towards the pile of gravel and pebbles that had once been the love of his life.
The others just stood and watched as he held the pieces in his hands and cried, all of them to stunned at what had just happened.
Finally Robin broke the spell. "Starfire, Cyborg, get Beast Boy out of here. But do it without hurting him too much" They nodded and walked up to the two shattered forms on the rocky out crop, one physical, one emotional.
Softly they place hands on his arms and started to lift him up.
"No! Let me go! I'm going to leave her like this!" Beast Boy shouted, struggling against them. Against their combined strength he didn't stand a chance.
He could've escaped by morphing, but he didn't, or maybe didn't even realise it.
They let him struggle until he finally gave up, tears still falling down his face.
"Come BB, it's going to be alright" Cyborg said, carrying his friend on away from the desolate scene.
Once they were alone Robin walked up to the now empty outcrop and looked down at the ruined pieces of their former friend.
"Can you put her back?"
"What?" Raven started, lost in thought.
"I asked: Can you use your magic to put her back together?"
"No" Raven said.
"Any idea who our uninvited guest was?"
"No" Raven said, shaking her head.
Robin grabbed a handful of the dust remains of Terra, staring at the contents before squeezing his fist closed.
"Can you tell me why she looks like you?"
"No"
"Are you telling me everything Raven?" Robin spun around, pinning her with his eyes.
"She seemed to have your kind of powers, your outfit. You weren't apart of this in anyway were you?" he asked, walked up closer to her.
Raven felt like his eyes were trying to bore into her head.
"I keep telling you: No!" she said, anger starting to edge up.
"I don't know anything about this!"
"But I do" a new voice said.
Robin grabbed his communicator and flipped it open to see the face of
"Slade" he snarled. "I should've known you'd be responsible"
"Ah, Robin, I can't tell a lie. Yes, I had a hand in it. Oh, and there's more to this then just wanting to hurt you. Much more. But that's for another time. Bye"
And with that the screen went black.
Robin stood and trembled, gripping the com hard.
"Aargh!" he roared, throwing the com away to shatter against a rock.
"This time he's gone to far"

"I still cannot believe Terra is gone" Starfire said as she and Cyborg sat in the main room, the sunlight streaming through the large window.
"I know what you mean" Cyborg said, glancing over at BB fast asleep on the couch.
His face was still stained from all the tears, and he kept tossing and turning.
"Will Beast Boy be alright?" Star asked, concern in her voice and on her face.
"I really can't say Star" Cyborg said, although he knew BB would probably never be same after what had happened today.
He looked up as the door opened and Robin and Raven walked in.
And Robin looked mad, madder then he had ever seen.
"How's he doing?" Robin asked, nodding at Beast Boy.
"Passed out when we got here. The shock hit him pretty hard"
"It hit us all hard. Some more then others" Raven said.
Beast Boy stirred, yawned and sat up. "What time's it?" he asked.
"Not too late. Try to go back to sleep" Robin said.
"No, not until we find the person who did this" Beast Boy said, jumping up.
"We already have" Raven said.
"Who?" Beast Boy asked.
"Me" Slade said, popping up on their screen.
"Well, actually, that's not all true. I couldn't have done it without the help of my lovely assistant" he said, moving to the side to reveal the girl in white.
The girl smiled and gave a little bow.
"And modest too. The perfect apprentice" Slade said, walking back into view.
Beast Boy growled, anger burning in his eyes.
"Just wait till I get my hands on you Slade. I'll make you wish you'd never been born!"
"Ah ah ah. Don't make promises you can't keep" Slade teased, wagging a finger.
"First you'll need to find me. Good luck on that"
And the screen went black.
"No! Get back here!" Beast Boy shouted at the black screen, pounding on it.
"Beast Boy, relax. He's not getting away that easy" Robin said, holding up his com with a little blinking dot on it.

"Nicely done" the girl in white said.
"And the same to you, my apprentice"
A small smile flitted on her face. "No problem. I believe it was fun for both of us"
"True. And I do so love to cause Robin and his little friends pain" Slade said.
"You know what they say" Robin said, stepping out of the shadows.
"It's better to give then to receive" he said to the not so surprised duo.
One by one the other Titans came up behind him, all in battle formation.
"Well done Robin, and in record time too" Slade said, stepping up and standing in front of the girl.
"Now, Apprentice, let's deal with these pests"
"You know" she said behind him, "I never did like that title"
Slade's eye went wide as she placed to white glowing hands with black outlines on either side of his masked head.
And snapped his neck.

How's that for a twist?
