I DON'T OWN THE TEEN TITANS.
I DO OWN THE PLOT OF THIS STORY.
NOTE: THIS IS DEDICATED TO NATASHA (DON'T ASK WHAT HAPPENED TO NIAMH). THIS IS ALSO DEDICATED TO THE HARD DECISIONS IN LIFE.
THE THREE SIDED COIN
There is no such thing as evil. Evil is a person who fools themselves into thinking they're good. Evil is stealing something that you 'think' you 'need' to survive. Evil is killing someone because you 'think' they were 'going' to kill you, but you knew perfectly well that they weren't. But the worst type of evil is when love gets involved.
TITAN TOWER, TERRA'S ROOM…Loud weeps could be heard throughout the tower. It really bummed everyone out. Starfire, the cheerful alien, sat miserably as she pets Silky. Cyborg, the half-human half-robot, played video games, but didn't really care much as to how many times he lost. Robin, the one man army with a hundred gadgets, fiddled with his gear, not caring that he accidentally started a small bomb that would blow up in about a few minutes.
Louder and louder, as the days pass by, the cries of utter sorrow continue to fill the tower with woe. Terra felt like she started this, because she was once Slade's apprentice. She felt like she should have met the Titans in the first place. She felt that every problem in the world was her fault. But she soon thought of something. What if it wasn't her fault?
A knock at the door took her back to reality. With her index finger, she swift-fully wiped away her tears and pulled back the door.
"Stop crying."
Terra looked up and saw the violet dark goth of the Tower, Raven.
"You're distracting my meditation."
"Yeah I guess your conscience annoy you enough already at what you did." Terra said bitterly.
Raven had no idea what she was talking about.
"What?"
"You know what mean, so don't try and act stupid. Although, I have to say that's what you are for making Beast Boy choose such a decision."
"I'm not Beast Boy's sense of morality. He made that choice by himself. I understand if you're upset. I am as well. But we'll will save Beast Boy and…"
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT FUCKING EMPATHY SHIT!" Terra roar into the calm and emotionless face of Raven. "You did it and you know it."
"How?" Raven replied confidently, sure that Terra wouldn't have a response.
"Telepathy." Terra stated simply, "You could have forced him to sacrifice himself because you knew he was going to pick me over you."
Raven's blank face stayed still as she heard these wild accusations.
"First, I was out cold at the time, just like you. And second, you must be dreaming if you think Beast Boy would pick you over me."
For Terra, this was a bit too much. She looked at Raven's dead cold face and saw no emotion. But, when she looked into her violet eyes, she could see Raven mockingly laughing on the inside.
Terra's breathing became deeper. Raven thought she was going to cry, so she moved in forward, planning to comfort her. Instead of welcoming Raven with a hug, Terra sent her fist into Raven's chest.
"That's why Beast Boy would never pick you. You're too much like a 'Tom-boy'." Raven snapped at Terra, as she lay on the floor, startled by the force of the punch.
"Oh, and you're a perfect lady."
The two stared intensely at each other.
Raven lowered her head and sighed.
"Look I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that thing. But this isn't a time for either of us to be fighting. We need to work together and bring back Beast Boy."
"Then what."
"…What do you mean 'then what'."
"We'll get him back, then what. Before he left, he was stuck between us. Every minute us three spent together, was like a hundred years of tough love questions for Beast Boy. What's stopping him from making this same kind of choice again just so he doesn't hurt one of us. Raven, if we really love Beast Boy, one of us has to leave so that he can finally feel comfortable to fully express his love for the other one."
The two looked at each other with a sense of oneness between them. Nothing could destroy this moment when both of them agreed about something to do with love.
Sadly, there was something. A loud explosion grabbed Raven and Terra's attention. It sounded like it came from where Robin and the others were.
AS I'M WRITE THIS OUT, I FLIP A COIN TO SEE WHO HAS TO LEAVE FOREVER. ON ONE SIDE, TERRA, AND ON THE OTHER, RAVEN. TO MY AMAZEMENT, IT LANDED ON ITS EDGE. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING ENGRAVED IN IT. I BENT DOWN TO READ IT. I WAS STRUNK BY INSPIRATION. I GOT BACK UP AND STARTED THE NEXT CHAPTER. AND ON THE FLOOR, WAS A COIN, ON ITS EGDE, THAT HAD A NAME ENGRAVED ON IT.
…BEAST BOY…
