Beginning a New Chapter

Disclaimer: See chapter one.

Okay, since I did two thirds of the ex-titans, here's the last one. It's one of our favorite earthmovers: Terra!

Codename: Terra

Real Name: Tara Markov

Affiliation: Misfits (East Coast Team)

Powers: Geokinesis. Terra is able to control earth. She can telekinetically move rocks, dirt, and even mud. It is believed that she may be able to cause earthquakes and tremors as well with further development of her powers. Her powers come from her Markovian royal bloodline, which includes her older half-brother Brion Markov (aka Geo-Force), and older brother Lance Alvers (aka Avalanche).

Bio: Terra, alongside Avalanche, were the products of an affair the King of Markovia had. Many details of her early life are unknown. She served on the Teen Titans, until she betrayed them out of gratitude for Slade helping her control her powers. She would go on to repent and help the Titans defeat Slade, but she got turned to stone. It is unknown how she managed to return to human form.

She would end up being forgiven and rejoin the Titans, until most of them were killed by a psychotic mutant-hater, despite the fact that most of the Titans weren't mutants. Terra was one of the few surviving Titans, along with the half-demon half-siblings Raven and Bard. The three joined the Misfits since there were nowhere else for them to go. Shortly after moving in with the Misfits, Terra was surprised to find out that she had a biological brother in Lance Alvers, the geokinetic Misfit codenamed Avalanche. Though she and Raven fight constantly, they are really quite close. Tara and Lance have been working on their relationship, and she has bonded with Aja, the Misfit codenamed Lightspeed, considering they have things in common.

Chapter 10: Art class…Oh, no!

The Pit

"Okay…" General Hawk sighed. He and the Joes who cared for the Misfits were gathered in the general's office. "Let's have a rundown of the recent chaos."

"Well, so far…" Duke started, looking at a clipboard. "Raven and Terra got into an argument and trashed the dojo, Raven and Wanda got into a fight over who got to kill Pietro, and than Bard tried to kill him."

"The X-Girls constantly call to speak with Starchild." Cover Girl added.

"Wanda pounded Pietro…" Shipwreck scratched his chin. "Lila pounded Pietro…Craig pounded Pietro…Lance pounded Pietro…Angelica pounded Pietro…Raven pounded Pietro…Tara pounded Pietro…"

"Man, Pietro really needs to learn to stop pulling stupid pranks on people." Cover Girl sighed. A screaming Beach Head, dressed in a pink version of his normal uniform stomped by.

"QUICKSILVER, YOU ARE DEAD!" Beach Head roared in rage.

"Aja took the Driver's Ed class on a 'joy ride' in Beach Head's jeep, as well." Spirit remembered with a nod. "Rapture also got hyped up on coffee and starting doing the toga scenes from Animal House."

"Where are those loons now?" Low Light scratched his head.

"We managed to sedate Rapture." Cover Girl remembered. "She's sleeping the coffee off now, and the rest of the Misfits are in art class."

"Art class?" Hawk blinked. "Who is teaching the art class today?"

A nearby classroom

"Why do I have to do this again?" Lady Jaye grumbled. She was sitting behind a desk, while the Misfits were behind easels, drawing.

"Hawk said it was your punishment for starting that bar fight in town, yo." Toad reminded.

"John, will you stop that humming?" Lance grunted. "It's annoying."

"It helps me think." The redheaded Aussie grinned.

"Not my fault." Lady Jaye sighed. "That drunk goosed me." She looked at the class. "Pietro, this time, no drawings that have to be confiscated. We still haven't found that one that was confiscated from Rapture."

"Is that why Baywatch is banned here?" Bard whispered to Althea.

"No, it's because Rapture was harassing Yasmine Bleeth." Althea whispered back.

"And the fact that Shipwreck followed Rapture and tried to hit on Yasmine Bleeth, too." Aja added. A few minutes later Lady Jaye went to inspect the group's…unique paintings. She looked at Paul's, which was a painting of the band Kiss.

"Nice painting, Paul." Lady Jaye smiled.

"Thank you." Paul smiled. The Ranger then looked at Craig's, which was of a street corner.

"Home." He explained simply. Lady Jaye nodded. She looked at Lance's.

"Another one of Kitty?"

"Yup." Lance smiled. "This one is of her as the Greek goddess Gaia."

"Oh God, Lance…" Pietro groaned. "Get it through your head already!"

"At least I can draw something besides myself!" Lance snapped. "And Pyro, stop that annoying humming!"

"What'd I do?" John blinked.

"Alright, you two. Calm down." Lady Jaye cooled the boys' tempers. "Just draw what you like." The two boys calmed down and went back to their work. The spear-wielding ranger sighed in relief then looked at Bard's painting.

"Bard…" Lady Jaye frowned. "Why did you do a picture of a demon falling into a spike pit?"

"Because Raven beat me to painting him being sprayed with acid." Bard answered simply.

"It's not acid, it's holy water." Raven pointed out. "Wanda did the acid in her picture."

"Quiet!" Wanda hissed. "You're gonna get me sent to Psyche-Out again!" Lady Jaye sighed. She noticed Aja's painting. Aja didn't need to be in the class, but she wanted to anyway just for fun.

"Aja…why is that blonde guy tied to the front bumper of a car?"

"Well, Hawk said I couldn't use Rio, so I figured I'd use Riot instead." Aja grinned. "I'm gonna see if a gallery will have it."

"Right…" Lady Jaye trailed off and looked at Terra's. The blonde geokinetic had made a painting of Link holding up the Triforce triumphantly. "Hey Terra, not bad." Lady Jaye complimented.

"Thanks." Terra smiled. "I was always a big Legend of Zelda fan." Lady Jaye then looked at Wanda's painting.

"I call it, 'Daddy's Acid Bath'." Wanda grinned. Lady Jaye sighed.

"I think a few of you need to talk about anger management."

"Been there, done that." Wanda muttered.

"Pyro…" Lady Jaye pointed at something on John's picture. "Why is that house on fire?"

"I was inspired after watching Revenge of the Nerds." Pyro replied with a big grin.

"Oh, so that's why you were humming 'Burning down the House.'" Lance realized.

"Duh." John rolled his eyes. Lady Jaye sighed.

"It could be worse."
