Beep… beep… beep…

Her eye twitched. She fiddled on her seat, trying to get the ache in her bottom to go away.

Beep… beep… beep…

Her attention went from the heart-monitor to the bed, and the screen on the wall before going back. She changed her position again.

Beep… beep… beep…

A few blonde hairs fell in front of her eyes, and she quickly put them back behind her ear. Maybe she should have her hair cut?

Beep… beep… beep…

"Do we need that thing beeping, Cyborg?" Danny asked as he phased through the wall, saving the blonde from the torture. The half-robot shrugged and turned the monitor off before looking back at the vitals on the large screen. Danny flashed her a smile, and she returned it. That smile quickly fell though, as her eyes wandered to the figure lying on the hospital bed, the same one where she had been recovering only a week ago.

Beast Boy had been brought to the medical room after they discovered his bad state. He was malnourished, dehydrated and having a high fever. The fever had dropped by now thanks to their own cyborg-doctor, and the changeling was being supplied with water from a plastic bag. It's the fact that he has hardly ever eaten something for, god knows how long, that is troubling them. Beast Boy has to wake up before they can fix that, but he hasn't, yet.

"Don't worry. I'm sure Robin will give him a long lecture when he wakes up. That'll get him to eat again." Danny tried to assure as he noticed how grim her face was. She wanted to smile at that, but could only say one thing.

"This is all my fault…"

"Hey, who said it's your fault?" Cyborg argued as he looked away from the screen. She sighed before getting up.

"Don't you get it? This all started when I came back. It all started because I'm here, and he obviously didn't want me back here!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms up before letting them slump down. The blonde started heading to the door, giving neither the chance to retort, a fallen look on her face. She paused before leaving the room, taking a last look back at the green titan in the bed.

"Maybe you should have just left me as a stone statue in that volcano. Better for everyone."

And with that said, Terra closed the door. Cyborg shared a worried look with Danny, and he sighed, already knowing what the oldest titan wants to say.

"I'll keep an eye on her."

And he phased back through the wall, leaving Cyborg with his best friend.

"Please wake up soon, BB. We need you here."

"Terra! Wait!"

"What do you want Danny? Don't you see? It's all my fault!" Terra called back as she walked up the stairs. She pushed the door open and walked up on the roof. The ghost-boy phased through the door, following the geomancer. A wind kicked in, but he didn't let that stop him.

"Just wait. You don't know that for sure. Just, wait until Beast Boy wakes up, and use that chance to talk with him. You haven't said anything to each other yet, neither of you know what the other can be thinking."

"That's the point, we don't! We don't know, and I really do want to talk with him, but what if he doesn't want to talk? What if… What if…"

She turned on her heels, coming face to face with the halfa. He backed up a little as he sees the tears streaking down her face. Dark clouds were gathering in the sky.

"What if he dies?"

A flash of lightning passed through the sky.

Okay, that's just being far too pessimistic to his liking. Time for the halfa to change that.

"You know that isn't going to happen, Terra. Cyborg is taking good care of him, and none of the titans are going to let him die. Not Robin or Starfire, not Raven, and neither will Dani and I." He said as he walked closer, taking a slow step each time. He could see she had her defenses up, eyes alert on his every move and breath slow and controlled.

"…I know. Sorry, guess I got a bit melodramatic there, huh?" She said as she rubbed her neck, a few hairs ending up in front of her eyes. She tried to blow them away, but it didn't work, the wind blowing them back.

"That… is a bit of an understatement. Terra, you shouldn't be thinking like this. He'll get better, we'll find a solution. And you two will talk with each other, even if we have to force him to talk. I know you want to, you care too much for him not to. You love him to much for that."

"Yeah… Wait, what?! I don't, I mean… I-I'm not…"

"Terra."

She looked up, a sheepish look on her face for her sudden ranting. Danny raised an eyebrow, silently asking her if she's calm again. She sighed as her nerves calmed down.

"…Yeah?"

"I can tell, we all can. You and Beast Boy, you two are like a pair of magnets pulling to each other. But, right now, you're facing the wrong way, and are repelling each other. All you need to do is face the other way, and let life take over from there." Danny explained as he placed a hand on her shoulder, using the other to place those stray blonde locks behind her ear. She smiled at him, a small one, but a smile nonetheless.

"Thanks Danny. I guess I really needed a pep-talk."

"No prob."

She was about to say something back, but Dani took that moment to pop her head out of the ground, looking up at the two.

"Guys, Beast Boy's awake."

The duo shared a look, and the halfa smiled at Terra before nodding at his daughter. He took a good hold of the blonde and turned both of them intangible, phasing them through the roof.

A bit later, they entered into the medical room, where the other titans were. Robin had a stern look on his face as he watched over the changeling eating a whole plate full of food. Beast boy looked up from his plate to cross eyes with Terra, but he quickly looked back. Her smile faltered a little, but Danny placed a supporting hand on her shoulder and smiled, giving her a slight push.

The others noticed the blonde entering, and silently made their way out of the room. Robin was a bit reluctant to leave, but Danny took a hold of the boy wonder's shoulder.

"He's eating, let them talk now they have the chance."

The team leader sighed in defeat and followed the halfa out of the room. Danny shot a last confident smile at Terra, and a sideways glare at Beast Boy, and closed the door. The sound of a lock was heard, and the duo realized that they practically were locked in the room, stuck.

And the only way out would be if they talked.

"H-hey." Terra tried with a simple greeting, a nervous smile on her face. She was fiddling with her gloves behind her back, and was feeling the tension in the air. The changeling continued dutifully with eating, not sparing a glance at the geomancer.

"Talk, or I'll make sure you'll be stuck in that bed for the next month."

Both their heads turned to the head of the young halfa sticking out of the wall. Dani offered an innocent smile at her friend before turning to Beast Boy, a glare on her face that promised pain if he didn't listen. The changeling gulped as they watched Dani retreat back into the wall, leaving them alone in relative privacy.

Beast Boy sighed and put the fork with tofu down, locking eyes with Terra. She backed up a little at the void look in his eyes, but taking a second look she swore she saw a small spark in those green eyes.

The green titan sighed as he looked down.

"So, how does it feel being back on the team?"

"Oh. Kinda nice, I guess. I-I mean, I've only been out in the city twice now, and Robin most of the time keeps me at the sidelines when he thinks the criminal is 'too dangerous' for me." Terra answered, playing a little with her long hair. She was glad to see that Beast Boy at least was listening to her.

"Yeah, Rob can be a real fun-breaker when he wants to." Beast Boy said as he remembered the many times Robin stopped the changeling from doing something because it was 'too dangerous' or 'a bad idea'.

"I guess. I understand he wants to protect the team, but sometimes I think he's a bit of a control-freak."

"Like the real Control Freak?"

They shared a small laugh at that, and a genuine smile appeared on Terra's face as she felt the tension declining.

"…Beast Boy?"

"Yeah?" He looked up, some life returning to those green eyes. Terra bit her lips, and sighed. She has to ask.

"Are we… Are we cool?"

"huh?" He looked a little confused at that, not really getting where she's going at. Looks like she has to take the hard route.

"…Beast Boy, is it… Is it my fault that t-this," She motioned to his state and where they are right now. "all happened?"

The tension returned, and that life in those green orbs died down a bit. He looked away, biting his cheeks. Why did she have to ask? Why not let things be like they are? He sighed, knowing he'll have to answer.

"Terra. T-there isn't an easy answer to that, you know."

"I know, but I need to know. S-so… so I know if I should stay, or go away."

"No!"

They both flinched at the sudden yell from the changeling. He had caught himself as much off guard as the blonde. He slumped back a little, all those pent-up emotions finally gathering together in his head.

"I-I didn't want you to leave. I just…" He sighed, collecting his thoughts a little. Why does he have to face something like this, now?

"I didn't know if I could trust you."

She sighed. Of course. That's it. Trust.

After all, she betrayed his trust. Back in the amusement park, when she wanted to run off with him. When she betrayed their friendship.

"You don't trust me. That's it, huh? Guess I deserve that, after everything that happened. You know, I don't even know why I returned. It was so peaceful, being stone. Nothing to worry about, I could look back on things, and just let myself wander; like when I wandered the world, looking for a place where I could just, be alone and forget about life."

"Terra…" Beast boy got more straight in the bed, listening to every word she was saying. He could feel it, the truth behind her words, the emotion she's showing.

"But, that's the problem. Life doesn't work like that. Wherever I went, I somehow ended up saving someone, or making a friend on the way. When I came here, I never expected to become friends with the Teen Titans, let alone becoming one. But, then all those things with Slade and my powers happened, and it all came crashing down on me. I really wanted to be your friend, Beast Boy. I really did, but it just didn't seem to be so easy as I hoped it would be."

Tears started to appear in the corner of her eyes as she vented her heart, letting it all out. Why did she keep it all in? Why did she never speak from her heart like this before?

"You know why I did all of that? Why I followed Slade, become his apprentice and betray you guys? I did all of that, for you. So we could be friends, and maybe…"

"Maybe more than just friends."

She blinked, trying to stop the tears from falling. She failed, as they came down in streaks, falling to the floor. The blonde walked to the wall, placing a hand against it to stop herself from breaking down. She has to finish. No stopping it now. She followed Danny's advice. Time to change how she's facing him.

"When I took you to all those places to see, I did that so I could enjoy being around you, Beast Boy. I-I wanted to run away with you, leave everything behind. Slade, the titans, just you and me. Together. I-I didn't want to betray you, but Slade had taught me how to control my powers, I thought I-I owed him, for… for helping me. I thought I could trust him. But, in the end, I was proven wrong. He betrayed me, like I did to you, and I realized everything I had done wrong. I wanted to do good, you know. But, at that moment, I didn't know what it meant anymore to be good."

Beast Boy took the blanket off him, letting his legs hang from the bedside. He wanted to support her, help her. Why? His heart is filling with all these feelings, where is this coming from?

"And then, and then you guys came, and you saved me! From Slade, from myself. And when the volcano was going to erupt, I realized it. What it means to be good. I-I wanted to show t-that I could still d-do good, I-I wanted to h-help. That's why, that's why I sacrificed m-myself. The last good thing I could do, the last moment of being a true hero. T-that's why I didn't want you to be there, Beast Boy. I never thought about coming back, even if…"

"Even if I survived that volcano."

His eyes widened, and he stood up. He was a little wonky on the legs, and took a hold of the sidebar of the bed to keep standing.

"What?"

"I-I never expected you guys to forgive me. I never thought of coming back. And I knew that running away wasn't going to work this time, so even if I survived the volcano, I-I…"

"Terra, no…"

"I probable would have killed myse-"

She couldn't finish, suddenly wrapped in a pair of slim, yet somehow strong arms. She realized what was going on, and couldn't stop the tears anymore. The blonde dropped to her knees, Beast Boy following down. She cried, her head leaning into his neck and took hold of his loose uniform. He held her, comforting her, showing her he's here. It finally was there again. That feeling, that light in his heart. He closed his eyes, letting time flow over them. It hurt, hearing her cry, but he knew she had to let it all go, let it all come out.

And he had to say the one thing he hadn't said.

"Terra. I forgive you."

"B-Beast Boy?" She was startled, not even having apologized yet, but he already forgives her?

"Promise me, that from now on, we'll always tell each other the truth. That we'll never hide our feelings for each other again." Beast Boy asked as he held her close, his hand going through her blonde locks. She calmed a little at the motion, and nodded in his neck.

"I-I…I promise. I promise, from now on, I'll always tell you. Everything."

He smiled, finally smiled, and hugged her even closer. She smiled too as the tears were still flowing, but somehow she didn't feel so sad anymore. And she realized what had to be said.

"Beast Boy?"

"Terra?"

"I-I… I love you…"

"I know. I love you too."

They both let their hearts open, embracing close. She lifted her head from his neck, and locked eyes. Those green eyes, filled with life, joy and happiness. The three things she never had when she was wandering around. He looked into those blue orbs, seeing the care, the feelings, and everything else he loves about her. And despite everything, there wasn't a better moment.

They both lean closer, their lips connecting. Their hearts erupted with joy, and finally, the two had found each other.

And they couldn't be happier.

"Come on! Closer, almost!"

"No way, you're not getting past me, Cyborg!"

"Come on, guys! Give this dude a break! I'm still working up my strength back!"

The trio of boys were sitting on the ground, or in Danny's case floating a little above it, as they played another one of their video-games. A racing game, and Danny was in the lead.

"Ha, I passed you!"

Capital on 'was'.

"Come on, not fair! Did you cheat with those robot-gadgets of yours?" Danny asked as he floated closer, trying to inspect the oldest titan on anything suspicious. Cyborg held his hands and the controller in the air, showing that he had, indeed, not used any tricks.

"Gotta keep an eye on the screen, you two."

Both their heads snapped back to the large screen, just in time to see Beast Boy passing both of them. He smirked in victory as his racecar passed the finish-line.

"That's cheating! We weren't focused!"

"Yeah, we were distracted!"

"Come on guys, give him some slack. He won, fair and square." Terra defended her boyfriend, yes boyfriend, as she jumped on the couch, two drinks in her hands. She handed one to Beast Boy, who took it gratefully before taking a large sip.

"Next time, he won't win that easily." Danny declared as he floated away, grumbling something under his breath. Cyborg stood up, flashing a smile to the duo before leaving, off to do something else. He still had to recalibrate the tower's defenses after finding that bug in the system.

"Huh, normally they never leave me like that." Beast Boy observed as he sat down next to the blonde. Her smile faded a little as she remembered why.

"You're still recovering, Beast Boy. They know that."

His smile faltered a little, but he quickly put it back right, letting his arm rest over the couch and behind Terra's head. She smiled knowingly to him, and leant into him, letting her head rest on his shoulder.

Both shot up when the alarm sounded, and the screen turned to show Control Freak, using his notorious remote to turn the characters on billboards to life. The doors opened, the titans running in. The situation wa gauged, and they were quickly prepared.

"Titans, go!" Robin declared, and everyone gathered back out. The duo on the couch looked a little sheepishly at each other. Danny stopped in the air, rolled his eyes, and floated back to them.

"He means, ALL titans, including recovering members."

Beast Boy cracked a smile at that, and the two shot up from the couch, following the halfa out of the door and into the crime-fighting they're about to do in the city.

Yes, things have finally turned back to normal in Titans Tower.

The sun was setting when the titans returned home, a whole day of crime-fighting behind them. The door hissed open, and they filed into the living room. Cyborg made his way to the kitchen in response to his grumbling stomach.

"Anyone else up for a late dinner?" He called. A few groans in response followed, and he shook his head in exasperation before taking out a big cooking pan.

"Who else feels like today was busy?" Dani asked as she floated into the couch. Practically all hands went up in the air at that, and she cracked a tired smile.

"Dude, I didn't even know fighting criminals could be so tiring." Beast boy said as he slumped into the couch. Terra joined him, and sighed before letting her head rest against his chest.

"All worth it, though." The blonde added as she hugged him sideways. The changeling smiled, and put a soft kiss on her head.

"Gag me already." Raven spoke up from her corner of the room. The green titan shot her a glare, but let it go as he enjoyed the embrace of his girlfriend.

"Great, now Robin and Starfire aren't the only couple in the tower." Danny added as he floated a bit closer to the cloaked titan. He winked at her, and she shook her head in exasperation, although a small smile graced her face. 'Don't start spilling our secret now.'

'Wouldn't dream of it.' He responded in his thoughts. They had started using Raven's ability to read minds and project her own thoughts to others as a way to secretly communicate.

"We all deserve a rest. Things have been very hectic lately." Robin stated as he walked to the computer. He pulled up a list with villains they've fought for the past month, and to say it was starting to look long would be an understatement.

"Indeed, we have all worked very hard." Starfire agreed as she floated through the room. At that moment, a bell rang and all heads turned to the kitchen, where Cyborg was standing with a rolling table filled to the brim with food.

"Anyone want a bite?"

Dani was first at the table, smiling as she grabbed a plate and started putting food on it. Her eyes glinted when she noticed something among the foods.

"Is that cheeseburger with ectoplasm?" She asked as she looked at the plate with slightly green-glowing burgers. Cyborg nodded at the halfa.

"Yep. Danny showed me how to put ectoplasm in normal food. He told me how it makes food taste even better for ghosts."

"Definitely!" Dani agreed as she grabbed one. She took a bite, and her eyes shimmered. It tasted amazing! The young halfa quickly gulped her bite down and floated to the half-robot, placing a quick kiss on his cheeks. "Thanks Cy."

"Hehe, no problem Dani." Cyborg chuckled, a soft blush on his face. His eyes darted to Danny, and the look on his face spoke volumes. 'Even dare to think of it, and you're dead.'

The others quickly followed, and soon everyone had a plate with something to eat. Terra and Beast Boy were playing a game to see who could feed the other the best, while the rest ate normally.

"You know. If you told me this would be my life a few months ago, I would have never believed you guys." Danny said from his spot in the air. They shared understanding looks. Not even they could have ever predicted this.

"And it all began when that mad Doctor Light decided to run to Amity Park. Help me remember to thank him next time we kick his butt!" Dani added as she gulped down another one of those glowing burgers.

"You know. One of the reasons I kept on going after I met you guys and left, was you Dani." Terra said as she grabbed the ghost-girl in a friendly hug. They smiled at each other, almost like sisters.

"Sheesh. Thanks… Sis." The young halfa said, returning the gesture with a small ruffle of the girl's blonde hair.

"Great, just what we needed. Two Terra's." Raven spoke up with sarcasm. The two glared at her, and Danny floated next to her, sharing the same look with the cloaked titan.

"Or two Danielle's."

They all burst out in laughter, even Raven shared a little in it. After a little while, it calmed down, and everyone had happy smiles on their faces.

As the sun set of the horizon, the lights in the T-shaped tower stayed on, the residents talking and joking like a real family.

The same scene played on a screen surrounded by darkness. A slight evil chuckle filled the air as the one eye of Slade gazed at the sight.

"Yes. Enjoy your time together. Because I will find a way to divide you. And nothing will stop me." He said to himself as his plan was finally coming together. He only needed a few things.

And he knew just where to get them, his eyes wandering to the second screen to his left, a brick building with a massive structure above it.

Fenton Works.

"Time to meet your parents, Daniel."
