Chapter 3

"Look, Terra, I don't have time to explain but we need to help…" Raven was cut off however by Terra's hand.

"Rae, I know all about it. I've been trapped in rock, not deaf, so let's get down there and help Star and Jinx. Still can't believe that she's actually good now though." Terra said, that old immaturity she used to hold completely disappearing and now leaving an almost sense of actual maturity. She composed herself slightly more seriously, that seriousness also evident in her tone when she said, "Look, Raven, I'm really sorry about all of that stuff you know," She shifted a little uneasily and rubbed her arm consciously, "that happened before. With me calling you a witch and everything."

"Look, it's all water under the bridge. Too much has happened for things that almost seem stupid in the past to effect us now. So, lets just get on with it." Raven said, adding a small smile at the end.

Terra smiled back and nodded in agreement. "But what are we gonna do with him?" She asked, pointing at the slump figure that was Robin.

"Leave him." Raven said fairly bluntly, she was sick of the sight of him already. She quickly enveloped the unconscious members of her team at the cave entrance in her black aura, well the last bit of it she had, and transported them safely back to the base.

The cry of Starfire in pain ran up the walls and reached their ears. Terra grabbed hold of the energy less Raven's hand and pulled her along. They ran off the edge of the rocks and zoomed down to the ground, where the fighting was basically going on, on a rock that Terra had conjured. They landed on the ground to be welcomed with the sight of a crumpled Starfire and a beat-up Jinx. Raven whirled around, just to be hit in the stomach instead of the back, by a rampaging Cyborg. "Booyah" He said, a more sinister tone to the often pleasant word of his.

As much as Terra had thought herself prepared for the sight of the changed Beast Boy, she wasn't and completely let her guard down when first faced with him, only to be kicked in the face and thrown against a wall, enduring the pain Raven had been feeling only moments before with jagged rocks digging into her back. "Beast Boy." She said, despair very evident in her voice.

"Yo Terra, nice of you to join us." He said, smarmy and cocky.

That voice, the one that was leaking from his mouth with pure hatred and disgust, angered her and only fuelled her to lunge forward and hit him square in the jaw. Surprise flashed across his face, but only for an instant before a mocking grin and frustration took over. "Terra!" Terra, who had not begin paying great amounts of attention to the new Beast Boy, and was more focused on trying to help Jinx up, quickly snapped her head around when Raven called out her name, only to once again, get rammed into the wall. She groaned slightly in pain, the rocks digging into the same places as before. Beast Boy smiled wickedly and wiped away the blood from his lip from when Terra had lunged at him. Terra was ready to get up and fight back, but was quickly stopped By Raven grabbing her with her black aura and bringing her to the same spot as herself, Starfire and Jinx. "What d'you do that for?" Terra said, a little frustrated.

"Now isn't the time." Raven said matter of factly. "We've got to injured and we need to get back to the base."

Terra nodded as in she understood.

"Aw, don't go leaving the party just yet." They looked up to see a now lunging Robin, who had obviously gained consciousness and decided he wanted to join in on the so call 'party'. Raven however was too quick and before bird boy could smash her body to the ground like he had planned, they had disappeared and were safely back into the base.

"Ah man!" Cyborg said, frustrated at how easily they had gotten away.

"Dude! I can't believe they actually managed to bring Terra back!" Beast Boy said, a little angered by the sight of Terra.

"It's not Terra that we really need to worry about." Robin said, his back turned to them and his hand rubbing his chin as if he was in thought.

"What the hell do you mean by that!" Beast Boy exclaimed, arms flailing about in the air. "The only reason they bought Terra back was because she can help them bring Slade down!"

"Well that's not going to happen." Robin said, a little frustrated by Beast Boy's weak acceptance of Terra.

"Yea man, Terra's just a little rock throwing bitch who got on out nerves when we were younger." Cyborg said, hitting Beast Boy on the head for his outbursts of panic.

"Besides, it's Raven we need to watch out for." Robin said, turning around to face them.

"Why the hell should we be scared of Raven? We've been fighting her for seven years and she's never taken us down yet!" Cyborg stated.

"Exactly." Robin said bluntly. Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at him with confused expressions written across their faces. "She hasn't taken us down, but then we haven't taken her down. We all know of the power she's capable of! Hell, look at what she did to Slade on the night of her prophecy. She is the one that is predicted to bring us down unless she joins us."

"But that's never gonna happen, her joining us that is. She's all for the side of good." Cyborg stated once more.

"There may be a way…"

Terra, being the impatient brat she was, well it's not really fair to call her a brat due to the fact that she had barely had a home for more than about a month, drummed her fingers on the table as she waited for Raven to heal herself and Starfire before hearing the story of the past 7 years. "So how come I look like I should do if I hadn't been cast in stone for the past 7 years?" She asked, growing tired of the silence, something Terra had always hated.

"Because of the spell we used." Raven said, her face tensing in pain and she finished healing herself.

"Elaborate please." Terra said, sitting up from her slouched position and resting her elbows on the table.

"The spell that we used was from one of my old books from Azar. When combined with one of Jinx's hexes, instead of just melting away the stone, it updated you, if you like."

Terra nodded, having slightly understood but not really wanting to delve anymore into a subject that to be honest, didn't really interest her. "So how did you get this book anyway? From what Starfire had said from her little confession sessions down at my rock, the tower had been sieged by Slade's cronies."

"Before they got hold of the tower, we managed to salvage some bits and pieces." Raven replied.

"So that would explain why you have bits of Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg's uniforms on you." Terra said gesturing to the new uniforms of which Raven and Starfire had donned.

Raven and Starfire had managed to breach the security to the tower and retain a few personal items, such as Raven's spell books and Starfire's Tameranian belongings. They had also salvaged some of Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg's old uniforms, in Cyborg's case, some scrap metals and tech chips, which they had used in their new outfits and fighting gear.

So what could they have done that made them look so different? Well let me explain what their new uniforms looked like.

Raven had taken her old cloak, dyed it slightly darker and cut off the hood, attaching it to her shoulder plates, scraps of Cyborg's old metal, using Robin's old cloak clips. She had taken her infamous blue leotard and cut holes in certain areas; the breast area, her shoulders and her elbow joint areas. The breast area had been covered with parts of her old cloak while the elbow and shoulder areas had been covered and protected with metal shields, again part of Cyborg's old scrap metal. She had also taken those lycra, skin-tight, green leggings that Robin had famously worn, dyed them a slightly darker and less vibrant green so that her usually revealing legs, at least had warmth and protection, of course as well from more of the metal shields. Her old navy boots still covered her feet, although slightly darker from attempted dying and dirt that had clung to them and just stained them. She, like Starfire had kept those communication gems on their hands, Starfire also on her collar plate, and Raven on her belt. Raven's belt was now however; instead of from the fine Azarath gold had been replaced with Robin's old utility belt with the gem on the front.

Starfire had also kept most of her old uniform, yet making slight alterations. Her purple top had been stretched somehow into a leotard with her skirt still attached at the bottom, sort of as a trademark, but had become slightly shorter due to heavy fighting and the location of the hideout. The fabric had become darker due to dirt dying it a darker, brownie purple. Her old uniform boots still remained on her feet, covering and elongating her already long legs, the colour of the purple fabric on them turning the same muddy purple as her skirt and leotard, and the steel metal on the soles of the boots had become scuffed and scratched, also duller and darker due to having lost their old shine. Like Raven, Starfire also had some of Cyborg's old scrap metal body shields, but had some on the top halves of her legs, as well as her shoulders and arms, for protection where he boots didn't cover. Instead of her old arm plates which used to have her communication gems on, They had been replaced with scraps of Beast Boy's old uniforms, simply for a bit more comfort and her old metal plates had began to scratch her due to some of the metal bits tearing off leaving jagged edges.

Both Starfire and Raven's hair had changed in length and colour. Raven's had become slightly longer, just so that it touched her shoulders and had gone a lot deeper, darker violet than it was before, the tips looking almost black in certain lights. Starfire, instead of the expected and much admired long deep red hair she had once had in her youth with that quirky fringes, she now had slightly longer than her shoulders length hair and it had turned a much deeper crimson colour, that bright red that it used to have having dulled into a rich, more sensual colour, the fringe also becoming flatter and more like humans have.

"So where's my new uniform then?" Terra said, indicating to her torn and rustic metal Slade suit.

"I think we still have some spare bits of material and a few full clothing items which we can dye and alter to your satisfaction." Raven said, a slight smirk appearing on her face.

"Excellent…well let's get started…we haven't got all day and I'm not prepared to stand in this jagged thing all day thanks." Terra said, springing up from her chain.

Starfire beamed with excitement, something that the Tameran was rarely seen doing nowadays, while Raven just lead the way to the storage room.

They managed to find a pair of Robin's leggings that they could make less shiny and a darker, earthier colour. There were of course pieces of Cyborg's old scrap metal shields to use and they used the top half of Beast Boy's uniform underneath one of Starfire's tops. They used a pair of sleek, long gloves, something Starfire had managed to salvage from her collection of shopping items, which could be dyed.

They dyed the shorts, which were once the leggings, dark brown, Starfire's old top a lighter brown and the sleeves and under part of Beast Boy's outfit a dark grey instead of the black and purple it was at the moment. They cut off the boots at the bottom of her Slade outfit and stained them a dark brown, almost looking like dark rust. The gloves that had been Starfire were cut off at the fingers, so they looked like the kind of gloves homeless people wear, and cut down to be just above her wrists, then being attached to the sleeves of her under top.

Being fed up of her long, dirty hair, she washed it and they cut it down to a shorter and sleeker length, it now being the kind of length, maybe slightly shorter, that Raven had, except for the subtle undercut type haircut Raven had. Having lost some of its shine and blonde brightness, they found some of the hair dye which they had used on parts of Bumblebee's outfit, which was actually blonde hair dye, and dyed it back to almost its original colour, although now it was slightly lighter and whiter, which suited the earth mover just fine.

"Now this is what I like." Terra said studying her new look in the mirror. "Those boys won't know what hit 'em, even though it's likely to be a big chunky dirt rock."
