Episode 18: Relax
Author: Brruundin
Warning, I do not own the Titans or any other DC characters I may use.
While the other Titans were out doing missions to complete various objectives, Terra and Beast Boy were stuck watching the Tower. It wasn't an exciting job, but Beast Boy was at least thankful he didn't have to worry about Terra getting into trouble, or he least he didn't think she would.
"Terra, what do you want to do while everyone else is gone? We could play gamestation!" Beast Boy cheered with a grin, trying to get his girlfriend to do one of his favorite activities.
"Oh Beast Boy, you know I'm terrible at those things. I always get upset and end up breaking those machines. Remember what happened last timeā¦" Terra was referring to accident in which an earthquake occurred in the tower, after Cyborg "cheated" and beat Terra.
"Yeah dude, but Cyborg isn't here it's just you and me, so it'll be kinda fun!" Beast Boy says again, pushing Terra into giving in to what he is asking for.
"Alright Beast Boy you win, but I get to pick the game." Terra says, and lets out a smirk. The two of then starting playing a racing game, this goes on for about an hour until an alert goes off. Beast Boy jumps six feet in the air.
"Dude what's going on?" Beast Boy asks, and changes the screen to the cameras outside. A familiar black mask with his signature red marking appears.
"Dude! It's Red X! What do you think he wants?" He looks at Terra and she shrugs. Beast Boy decides to get on the intercom system to figure that very question out.
"Umm Red X? Why are you here?" Beast Boy asks. Red X just looks up at camera and then back and the door, no noise is made along with no movement.
"Dude if it's a fight you want, now's not the time. There are only two of us here and with our security system in place, there's no way you're getting in. So you just come to tell us why you're here?" Beast Boy asks again, with more urge in his voice, really trying to get the answer out.
"I've come to warn you, bad things are about to happen to you and all your friends. Get out before it's too late. Trust me; it's not going to be pretty." Red X says, while tapping his foot implying he wants to come in.
"Oh then, thanks I guess? Do you want to come in? If you're not going to cause any trouble I guess we can trust you." Beast Boy says again, thankful that Red X is telling him this.
"No, I'm fine. But if you don't leave soon you won't be trust me. You don't want to be here when the bad things are going down." Red X says, and then heads off into a different direction that Beast Boy couldn't see because it was already dark.
"Wow Terra that was way weird, do you think we should listen to him?" Beast Boy says, while looking back at Terra. She shrugs.
"I don't know Beast Boy, but I would say we should tell the others in the morning. It's getting kind of late don't you think?" Terra asks, while looking back at Beast Boy.
"Yeah definitely, but I'm not tired just yet. Hey do you want to go watch a movie? Like at the theaters?" Beast Boy asked, tired of being stuck in the tower. He knew that they should probably stay in the Tower. But at this point, he'd figure it would be fine. Plus as long as he enters the security code before he leaves the Tower would be fine.
"Yeah that sounds like fun, but aren't we supposed to stay watch?" Terra asks, concerned about getting in trouble with Raven and the others if they actually did decide to leave.
"No Terra it's fine. Plus we have that security system now that Cyborg's been working on. It's top notch, and besides they won't be back before at least tomorrow morning. We'll be back in a couple hours. It's not like were going out of town for three weeks. Trust me Terra, it's gonna be fine." Beast Boy says, trying to convince her to go along with his plan.
"Alright Beast Boy you win, but I get to pick the movie." Terra smiles, she usually let Beast Boy pick the activity and she was okay with as long as she got to pick the little details about that activity.
"Alright Terra let's head on outside I need to make duty." Beast Boy says, while morphing into a dog and starts to bark. The two of them begin to laugh, and head out to the movies.
Beast Boy and Terra decide to walk down to the theater as it wasn't that far once that got over the water and into the city.
"It's such a pretty night out Beast Boy, thanks for coming up with this idea." Terra said while looking up at the sky while watching next to Beast Boy. It was a clear night so the stars were all out in full. The moon was in a new bright crescent shape, it looked closer than normal Terra thought. But no matter, it was so pretty. Terra then turns back to Beast Boy, and leans closer to him and grabs his hand. This night was nice, and after all they and their friends had been through in the past couple weeks, this was good needed break.
As they got closer to downtown, Terra never noticed how bright the lights of the city were. She always felt it was a pretty dark place when looking out from her room in the Tower, or even in her own bedroom back home. It fascinated her for some reason, as she couldn't help but staring. However in the midst of this trance like state the two of them had drifted into the middle of the street. Terra wasn't paying attention and a car headed for her straight on. Beast Boy noticed it seconds before and reacted to it.
"Terra move!" Beast Boy says, while pushing her out of the way because the car wasn't stopping. Terra made it out okay, but Beast Boy managed to get hit.
"Beast Boy oh my goodness are you okay!" Terra yelled, scared that he wasn't. When she saw him at he was laying there unconscious, the driver gets out of the car very scared and nervous as well.
"Oh my god are you okay? I couldn't see you!" The driver says, checking out Beast Boy who was still lying in the street. The man begins to check for a pulse, and can hear breathing. Beast Boy started to move. Terra heads over and holds his hand.
"Beast Boy please be okay, please I promise I'll never let another bad thing happen to you." Terra says, tears running from her eye. Beast Boy starts to cough and then laughs.
"Terra, I'm fine. Help me up though" Beast Boy says, while lifting his arm up towards her. She picks him and then they turn to the man who hit him.
"Hey dude, don't worry about, it'll be okay I promise, just try to be careful, children could have been hurt." Beast Boy says, lecturing the man on the safety of driving.
"Yeah I know I feel bad about it, is there something you want me to do? I'd rather not get the police in involved." The man asks, hoping Beast Boy would call the police or anything.
"No dude, just go you've done enough damage. I'm fine." Beast Boy says, and the man gets back into his care and heads off.
"Geez people need to drive better in this town" Beast Boy says, while brushing himself off. He then turns to Terra who still looked concerned.
"Relax Terra, I'm fine honest, we got a movie to catch." Beast Boy says, trying to lighten the mood. She still looked worried though.
"Are you sure you don't want to go back home and lay down? You took quite hit by that car."
"I'm fine, trust me. Let's go already I don't want to miss anything good!" Beast Boy says, and Terra sighs at him but she decides to go with him.
When they arrive at the movies, Beast Boy asks her what she'd like to see, she decides to pick cutesy romantic comedy that was playing and the two of them go inside. After the movie is over, the two of them stand outside the theater before they decide to go home. Beast Boy isn't feeling well and just wants to sit down outside for a minute.
"Are you sure you don't need to go the hospital or something?" Terra asks, concerned about him.
"No Terra, I can shift my body and fix broken bones. I'm fine. Everything that was wrong with me physically is fine except for stomach. I may need to throw up, but I'm pretty sure I'll be okay" Beast Boy replies, trying to tell Terra not to worry so much. A few minutes later, he gets up.
"I'm ready to go now. My stomach feels better." The two of them head back to the tower, it was getting really late at this point, and was a lot darker than when they first arrived. When they finally got back to the Tower the two of them sat down on the couch and talked. They talked about everything from favorite things to whether Robin was going to come back or not and even whether Red X's statement from earlier was a threat.
"I just hope everything works out and they find our friends. I don't like feeling defenseless. The more help we have around here the better. Plus I hear Cyborg has a crush on someone on the Titans East.
"Dude! Really? That's so funny. I can't wait until he gets back then. I'm going to tease him about this until of the time. I can't ever remember Cyborg ever being involved with anyone let alone crushing. This will be great!" Beast Boy says, and Terra begins to giggle.
"Oh Beast Boy, just let him be. He wasn't too hard on you when we first got together." Terra says.
"Yeah he did, he just didn't do it while you were around!" Beast Boy says, and the two of them laugh again. Beast Boy begins to yawn.
"Looks like you need to get some sleep." Terra says, teasing Beast Boy about him being tired.
"Yeah probably, well goodnight Terra, I'll see you in the morning." The two of them hug and kiss, then head into their separate rooms.
In the morning, Terra gets into the living well before Beast Boy wakes up. She sits and waits, reading through a magazine that had come in last week. Eventually Beast Boy gets up. Terra looks at him and smiles. He smiles back and heads into the kitchen for food. Once he gets his fix of food, he heads over to the couch with Terra.
"Any word from the others yet?" Beast Boy asks, Terra wondering if they found anything and told her anything yet.
"Nope, nothing yet I thought about radioing in but Raven said only for emergencies. So I decided not to otherwise Raven may get all psycho on me again." Terra says, and Beast Boy and Terra laugh about this statement.
However, a few minutes later they get another alert that people were coming by. It was Cyborg and Aqualad, and they were carrying Raven.
"Oh no dude is Raven okay?" Beast Boy says over the intercom system.
"She'll be fine BB just needs to rest, so let us in will ya!" Cyborg says, Beast Boy pushes a button and the other three enter the room. Aqualad is the first to address all the issues after Cyborg lets Raven rest in her room.
"Alright so Titans East is found and they are on their way over here. The HIVE will also be joining us with a temporary alliance. We think Slade is trying to break us down even more, there was a hooded figured at the old grocery store trying to blow us all to pieces. I don't know who he is but he seems dangerous. Raven got hit by the blast and is now trying to recover. Anything weird happen while we were Beast Boy?" Aqualad turns to Beast Boy and Terra who were sitting on the couch.
"Yeah dude, Red X showed up to the tower trying to warn us about bad things going to happen the tower. Told us to get out while we could, I don't know. The place is basically invincible so I don't know what they could possibly do." Beast Boy says, Aqualad and Cyborg begin to think it through before coming up with a new plan.
"Alright so once everyone is here, and Raven is recovered we'll discuss everything with everyone. We'll make a plan from there. Until then relax, everything should be fine." Aqualad says, and then Beast Boy turns on the TV.
A/N Chapter 18 done! Sorry there wasn't that much excitement, it was sort of a filler episode to get Terra/BB POV, However, Red X is back! Why does he want to warn the Titans? More to be discovered next time! As always review!
