Hi everyone! Well, I just saw 'Things Change' and to tell you the truth I am absolutely horrified. As a episode by itself, it was pretty good… as the show's last episode, it was horrible! You just don't end a show as great as Teen Titans with an episode like that. (Personally, I'd say you just don't end a show as great as Teen Titans. Period.) What were they thinking? Oh well, they will bring it back! They can't leave a show as popular as this off the air forever! If they don't put it back, someone else will! I guarantee you, it'll happen one day! And I'll be there when it does! I'll never get tired of watching Teen Titans! Never!
Wow, I'm totally off the subject here. I really have to stop doing that. LOL! Anyways, here's the next chapter! Hope you enjoy!
The next day, Moonfire woke up and stretched, looking around herself tiredly. What she saw made her leap to her feet, suddenly wide awake with all signs of her former tiredness gone. "Where in the world am I?!" she thought. Spinning around, she saw Starfire still asleep in her bed. "Mom?"
Suddenly, the events of the night before came rushing back, and she remembered why she was there. Relaxing, she quietly walked out of the room, trying not to wake Starfire. She then walked down to the Ops. Room. Walking in, she suddenly froze, her body tensing, when she saw who was there. Terra. For a moment an awkward silence filled the room. Then Terra spoke up. "Look, I'm sorry I attacked you last night. I didn't know you were a titans." Moonfire forced a small smile on her face. "I understand." she replied, silently hoping Terra wouldn't pry on why she was there. Luckily, she didn't and Moonfire let out a small breath of relief.
Soon, all the other Titans came down as well. Moonfire took advantage of this to watch Terra and Beastboy talking. While Beastboy seemed uncomfortable with Terra being so close to him, Terra seemed not to notice, and was completely happy. Moonfire shook her head disapprovingly. "It would be different" she thought, "if they were just friends." But from what she could tell, Terra wouldn't be interested in being 'just friends' with Beastboy.
She sighed, wondering what her team was doing right now, and how Sparrow and Crow were feeling. She also felt guilty. Darkstar, Wasp, and Stinger were the only ones that could fight crime, since she had ordered Crow and Sparrow to stay at the tower, not wanting their powers to stop suddenly and result in them getting hurt. She had no doubt that with three members of the Teen Titans not around to fight, the media would find out and the criminals would chose then to strike, giving the three remaining titans an even harder time then usual.
"Oh well," she thought to herself. "I'm sure they can take care of things and besides, they can always call our parents or Titans East for help." Suddenly, she felt someone tapping her back. Turning, she saw Starfire looking at her in concern. "Is anything wrong?" she asked. Moonfire shook her head. "Nah, I was just thinking about my team." she reassured her. Starfire nodded understandingly. "Perhaps you would like something to eat?" she asked again. Moonfire couldn't help but smile. "Thanks, but I really am busy." she said. "Oh." Starfire replied, looking disappointed at not being able to cheer her up.
Moonfire felt bad, and suddenly thought of something. "Unless… you have any zorkaberries." she said, hopefully. Despite being like her father, she couldn't help but like the Tameranean fruit-like treat. Starfire grinned, instantly cheered up. "I shall go fetch them." she said, flying off.
Meanwhile, with Terra and Beastboy
"Um… Terra?" Beastboy said hesitantly. He had thought about the easiest way to break the news to her and finally concluded that there was no easy way. He would just have to hope for the best. Terra turned to him. "Yes?" she asked. "Can I talk to you… alone?" he said, feeling a pang of guilt when he saw her smile happily. "Of course." she replied, getting up.
They went up to the roof. As they walked, Beastboy thought about what he was about to do. It wasn't that he didn't want to end it with Terra, quite the opposite actually. He was with Raven now, he loved Raven. Crow and Sparrow were proof that it would work out between them. What he once had with Terra, what he once thought was love, just wasn't. He couldn't let her get in the way of him and Raven's relationship, couldn't let his kids disappear because of Terra. (A/N: Okay, maybe I went a bit overboard. I'm a big time BB/Rae fan and I just wanted to explain the relationship better.)
"So," Terra said, sitting at the edge of the tower that overlooked Jump City. "What did you want to talk to me about?" "Well, it's about us actually." Beastboy said. Terra grinned. "So you do want to get back together too!" she said happily. Beastboy sweat-dropped. This was going to be harder then he thought. "Um… actually… I don't." he said, bracing himself.
He watched in silence as Terra stared at him, looking both shocked and confused. "Wait…you don't want to get back together?" she asked, a hurt look crossing her face. Beastboy gulped. "No, I don't." he replied. "But…but why?" she demanded. Beastboy took a deep breath, bracing himself. "Terra… things have changed since you lost your memory. I have a girlfriend now and…" "Wait. You have a girlfriend?!" she yelled, feeling betrayed. "Who?" Beastboy looked her straight in the face. "Raven."
There was a moment of silence. "RAVEN!?" Terra finally shouted. "You're kidding me right? You and Raven? It would never work! She'd probably murder you if you even asked her out!" she insisted. "Like I said Terra, things are different." "But…" Terra gasped, shocked that he wasn't joking about him and Raven. "It… it can't work." "I'm sorry Terra, that you had to find out like this."
Before Beastboy could say another word, however, Terra's eyes suddenly glowed yellow and she flung a large rock at him, which he just barely managed to dodge. "Leave. Now." she growled. "But I…" Beastboy started only to be cut off by a second rock flung at him. "NOW!" Terra shouted. Beastboy gulped and backed away. As soon as he shut the door behind himself, he muttered, "Well, that didn't work as well as I'd hoped."
Beastboy left Terra on the roof and walked down to the Ops room to find the rest of his team and Moonfire waiting for him. "So… how'd she take it?" Cyborg asked. "Well… she denied it at first and then threw two huge rocks at me." Beastboy admitted. "That well huh?" Cyborg said.
"Well, I'm sorry she got hurt, but it had to be done. Even if Sparrow and Crow had nothing to do with it, you still would have broken up with her eventually, right?" Moonfire asked, turning to glare at him with questioning green eyes. Beastboy flinched. "Of course I would have!" he yelled, looking offended. "That's what I just said, wasn't it?" Moonfire replied, ignoring his outburst.
Before Beastboy could reply, Moonfire's communicator started beeping. "Here, I've gotta take this. Why don't you take the time to think of a good comeback Uncle BB?" Moonfire suggested, smiling mischievously. Flipping her communicator open, her smile and good mood instantly evaporated. "Darkstar! What in the world happened to you!" she yelled in horror.
Her brother looked extremely torn up. He had sweat running down his face and a cut on his left arm that was bleeding heavily. His shirt was slightly torn and he looked utterly defeated. "Where do I start!? Well, as soon as the morning news came on, it seems like every villain in Jump City found out about Sparrow, Crow, and you not around to fight! We haven't stopped fighting crime since then! First it was Control Freak, then Dr. Light, then the Hive! Not to mention we've had to deal with extra muggings and bank robberies!"
He stopped to take a breath and Moonfire frowned, confused. True, that was much more then they usually dealt with in a day. It was usually a few muggings and bank robberies, a super villain or two. Of course, they had there busier days, but the rest of the team had always been around for those. Still, all that wasn't enough to beat her brother like this. "I don't get it. If it got so bad, you could have called Titans East for help." "We did!" Darkstar said. "They came and helped us take care of things, and everything was back to normal by the time lunch arrived."
Moonfire was now even more confused. "Okay, so then answer my question: What happened to you!" Darkstar sighed, and suddenly seemed nervous. "Well, something bad happened about an hour ago." he started. Moonfire shook her head, frustrated. "Get on with it already! What happened!" Darkstar ran a hand thru his hair, wondering what to say to her. "Uh… promise you won't be mad?" he asked innocently.
"DARKSTAR! SPIT IT OUT!" Moonfire yelled, annoyed. She never had been a very patient person. "Slade escaped out of prison." Darkstar said at last, bracing himself for the screaming that was sure to come. And come it did. "HE WHAT!?" Moonfire shouted, all her self-control vanishing. "How could you let this happen?! Where were you guys when this happened!?" she yelled. "Fighting crime! Why do you think I'm so torn up right now! We just fought Slade and lost big time! We need you to come back!" "Okay, okay, I'll be there as soon as I can!"
With that said she snapped the communicator shut and turned to the rest of the titans, who were staring at her, confused. "Something wrong?" Robin asked. "Yeah, you could say that. Slade escaped out of prison! Ugh, I should have known he'd pull something like this!" The titans looked utterly horrified. "Slade escaped out of prison?" Robin yelled, his mask (eyes, whatever) narrowing.
"Yes, and I have to go back and help my team. "We'll help you!" Robin said, stepping in. Moonfire looked up. "Really?" she asked. "Of course." Cyborg chipped in. Moonfire grinned. "That would be great!" she said. Turning to Cyborg, she added. "How quickly can you get the time-machine up and running?" she asked. "It'll be ready by tomorrow." he replied.
"Good." Robin said. "Everyone get ready to leave by tomorrow." he ordered. "Just one thing." Raven said in her monotone voice. "What about Terra? Are we just supposed to leave her here?" Everyone froze. They hadn't considered that. "We'll have to talk to her tomorrow." Robin said at last. They all nodded in agreement and went to get ready. Little did they know, that there was so much more to Slade's plans then just escaping.
What did you think? Too much BB/Rae? Was it too rushed? I know I haven't updated in the longest time, but I'm trying the best I can and I thank all of you for being patient with me. I'll try to update as soon as I can. The plot is building in my head as we speak, so this may be a longer story then I had originally planned.
Anyways, good reviews are always appreciated and let me know what you think and any suggestions you may have will always be given consideration. There may be a few new characters later on. Anyways, please REVIEW! (
