Chapter 3

Terra messed with her new hair. It was a shade of ebony black. Her hair reached a bit under her chin with her bangs brushed to the side that reached to her lips. To a degree, she wanted to cry with how short it was cut but she knew it was for the good. And she actually liked it. Change was good for her. Terra saw behind her in the mirror of the bathroom, Raven. She turned and looked at her. She saw Raven wasn't wearing her usual cloak and unitard. Probably so Paul and Rebeka wouldn't know it was her. She wore a black hoddie with the hood up and Terra could see a purple shirt under it. She wore dark blue jeans and black tennis shoes.

"What are you doing here?" Terra asked.

"I told you I was going to check on you and its Sunday. Nice hair by the way." Raven said. Terra brushed some of the hair behind her ear.

"I did it so Beast Boy would stop calling me out in public." Terra said.

"Well he won't be able to know it's you. Can we talk in your room so your 'parents' won't listen in?" Raven asked. Terra nodded and lead Raven to her room When they came in, Terra sat down on her bed as Raven closed the door behind her. She saw the bedsheets and the Teen Titans poster.

"Still have things to remind you of him?" She said.

"Yeah. What is it that you want to talk about?" Terra asked. Raven pulled out the chair and sat down in it. She pulled back the hood.

"I want to know how you are doing actually. Yes you are a criminal but you are still my friend. Otherwise I would have told Beast Boy right away and called the police." Raven said. Terra smiled.

"It's nice that you still think of me that way. I'm surprise you do."

"Well after you turn to stone, all of us looked for ways to save you. I looked at all my spell books but I found nothing. Every spell I performed failed. Cybrog couldn't do anything with Science. But how did you break free?" Raven asked.

"I don't know. I just woke up in the cave and fell to the ground. I heard you guys come and visit me. Beast Boy came everyday. When you guys stopped, I thought you guys just gave up on me. Thankfully for me, you guys weren't there when it happen. I stayed there for a day afterwards before I came back to the surface." Terra said.

"Maybe it wore off. When Beast Boy told us he saw you, it was a theory we had."

"That was three days ago."

"I know. How did you get here?"

"I was actually on the streets a bit after I got Slade's armor off. So I only had the wraps and the bra and underwear I had on under it. Paul found me asleep in an ally and brought me here. Paul and Rebeka have been trying to have kids but they couldn't. So they adopted me. I told them what happen with me so they wanted to help me get a new life."

"So you then became Atlee Marks?"

"Yeah. I've loved it. I got friends, went to school dances, I made honor roll. It was great. I thought I would be able to avoid Beast Boy but he found me on Thursday. And now…it's going to get hard."

"So then you realized you needed to change so then came the new look?"

"Basically yeah. Maybe in time, I can tell Beast Boy it's me. But for now, I have to be Atlee Marks."

"You could come to the tower still but not as Terra. I could say we meet at the book store and you wanted to borrow a book." Terra started to rubbed her arm.

"No. I can't get to the tower. Not yet. It hurts me to even see Beast Boy and lie to him." Terra said.

"I understand…Terra I have a question."

"What is it?"

"What's it like to go to School and live a normal life?" Raven asked. Terra smiled.

"It's wonderful. Like I said, it was great." Raven smiled a bit.

"Good. Well I should get going. I can come back next week. It might be nice for you to talk to someone else who know everything." Raven said.

"That would be great. Thanks." Terra said as Raven got up. She pulled the hood up.

"I'll see you later then." Raven said as she open the door.

"Bye…what should I call you in public?" Terra asked.

"Raven for now. People do have the name Raven." She said.

"Okay. See ya Raven." Terra said.

"Bye Atlee." Raven said with a smirked as she left.

Terra looked out the window. It was actually good for Raven to know what's going on. It was someone else for her to talk to about what was going on in her life. Terra lied down on the bed and stared at the green sheets. Now the urge to talk to Beast Boy grew. But she had an advantage to this. Raven said Beast Boy would know it was her. She could find him and introduce herself as someone else. Terra sat up and smile. She was going to do that. That was perfect. And Beast Boy would most likely be somewhere with video games, movies, or anything of sorts. Or she could wait for the next attack and meet him that way. That would work. That was Terra's plan. She was going to talk to him now matter what.

Author's Note:

Okay so things are made clear, Terra's appearance as Atlee expect for the fact Atlee has purple eyes and I don't want to deal with it. Also I felt like that Terra needed someone to talk to about everything that's going on so Raven was the choice. Plus I did look at her powers and that's how she knew. The others will find out and of course, Terra will tell Beast Boy. And Already, I have a sequel planned.
