the day was full of brightness of the rays of the suns face, sure a few clouds in the air, but in actuality it complimented the bright blue skies. The breeze? Marvelous, fabulous, or any good thing with "lous" at the end of it. You wouldn't think anything could go wrong today. Nope not a damn thing, well actually that's not the case. Well if you think a giant scorpion that spawned itself in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere is a great thing, then wow you must be having a bitching day. It just so happens that a young blond beauty is running for her dear life from said scorpion, and she might disagree with you about it being a "good day".
She ran near the outskirts of Jump city, very surprised at how fast she can run when a giant scorpion, which again appeared out of nowhere, is chasing her. While she passes through a broad canyon the scorpion was brought to a halt exploding disks thrown near its face." Holy shit!" the blonde heard on top of the canyon path. She looks up to see six figures casting their shadows down at her." Where the hell did that come from?" Wize asked as he jumped down to the blondes level.
" Doesn't matter!" she said bringing her hands up as they glowed with a golden hew before the ground began to shake. As Wize looked on he felt a pulse shoot from his very being and his eyes glowed golden as well. He then looked at the scorpion and realized it had been crushed under debris of boulders. The rest of the group joined the two down at the ruined canyon." Well the mayor is going to be pissed again." Cyborg said as he looked at the path of destruction in front of them." Well he's never happy anyway." Robin said before turning his attention to the blonde." Nicely done by the way, the names Robin." Robin introduced himself as they shook hands.
"Thanks Terra the name, it means earth."
"in Spanish…" Wize said a tad bit creepily as he stared on with wide eyes and a grin that showed ever so obviously under his mask. " uh…yeaaahhh." Terra said as she scooted away from Wize. Suddenly like a bunny on speed starfire took Terra by the hands with her signature squeal."whereareyoufrom?whatisyourfavoritecolor?wh eredoyoulive?willyoubemyfreind!?"all that in one breath. Amazing.
"um im not sure. Blue, outside, and sure?" Terra smiled nervously at the hyper active Tameranian with an iron grip." Outside?" Cyborg questioned as Beastboy stared at her with hearts in his eyes." Yeah I had a camp before the giant bug-"
"Arachnid." Wize piped up to correct her, sadly everyone stared at him briefly with only the sound of someone dropping the last fuck they were about to give." Whatever and well here we are."
"That is Unacceptable!" Starfire said with a gasp as she pulled Terra into a tight hug." I will not let my friend stay out in the dark!"
"I have a flashlight." Terra said but to no avail, Starfire was already pulling her towards the tower. Wize fallowed after the group looking out at the distance, something gave him the feeling they were being watched.
(back at the tower)
"did she eat my pudding cup…" Wize asked at he stared at kitchen made void of all foods of any kind. Then he looked down and notices an empty pudding cup next to a crumbled up note that clearly states: don't touch. Today was indeed that of a bitching nature. He then notices clothing in the sink and across in the couch was a sleeping Terra." He then walks into the next room seeing the Titans argue over something.
" We have no idea what she capable of." Raven contested against Robin." And that's reasons to throw to the streets why?" Beastboy questioned with honesty." Well how about we test her. Like we did for Darren." Robin said gesturing towards Wize." I agree." Wize said immediately before rushing to his room." There its settled." Robin smiled as the hall emptied as the Titans disappeared into their rooms. Meanwhile after Wize got comfortable he sat at his desk with several books. Of course in any good situation Mercy decided to show up to bug him." Watcha lookin at?" she said peering over his shoulder." You know about the massacre right?" this question startled her at first but she nodded her head in confirmation." How Many family members with Enoch and Seth's bloodline survived?"
"Only you." She replied hastily." How about the Greyjoys?"
"From what I know every single one of them perished."
"and what about the Helsing's, and the Constantino's?" Wize said turning towards her.
" None that I know of?" Wize fell silent as he stared down at the book in front of him labeled: the lost tribes of seth." Markov…." With that name said the angel fell silent." You hear me?"
"yes I heard you, but I don't know why you're asking." The angel replied." Because I think I found one."
"that's impossible."
" do you forget who your serving?" Wize said with a smile." He does have a habit in surprising us." Wize got up from his chair and walked over to the large windows in his room and looked down at the shore to see both Terra and Beastboy having a little chat." Does she know?" the angel asked as she too looked down and saw Terra display her power by skipping rocks." I doubt it."
"Are you going to tell her?"
"yup…but not yet. I got to see what she's capable of. More importantly how unstable she might be."
(The next day)
The group was gathered around the obstacle course with the subject of torture that day being Terra." So the goal is simple, make it to the end of the course with the best time possible." Cyborg said as he typed into the controls of the course." And not die. That part is important." Wize shouted with alittle humor in his voice. Beastboy elbowed muttering something about being a cynical bastard. You wouldn't think Beastboy knows the meaning of cynical." Ready. Set. GO!" with that said the obstacle course was obliterated. With pillars of rocks scattered all over the place. Cyborg of course was less than pleased due to the fact that now he no longer had a high score and that now he had to repair the field. AGAIN.
"Impressive." Wize was startled by the voice that spoke behind him." God I hate it when you do that!" He said to mercy who smiled apologetically." Who you talking to?" Cyborg asked aside, causing Wize to remember that he is the only one that can see her." Uhh Beastboy!" He points at Beastboy in the form of a dog panting wildly with hearts in his eyes, which are staring ever so amorously.
" Stop the heavy breathing! Your breath stinks yo!" to which Beastboy suddenly turned back to normal crossing his arms in disapproval. As Terra walked up to the group who congratulated her performance, but then they notice her staring behind Wize." Uhh who's your friend?" Terra said pointing directly at the angel. Wize then paled at the realization, he wouldn't have thought her powers have developed that fast.
" Did you take a hit to the head or something?" Robin asked as the group stared at her and Wize. Wize then realized that he had his mask off so he came up with an ingenious story." Oh silly me! You saw me with my mask on the other day." Wize quickly put his mask back on. Terra stared at him blankly then looked at mercy who shook her head in contempt." He'll explain later just go with it." Terra then nodded with feigned laughter." Oohhhh couldn't recognize you there haha…"
"you know you should take your mask priority seriously Wize like me." Robin said pointing his thumb towards himself taking his usual cocky pose. Suddenly the alarm went off and the team quickly rushed inside the tower to the monitor in the main room." Who is it this time? Killer moth, Control Freak?" Cyoborg asked as Robin pulled up the situation on screen." Worse…" he replied as a man with a gold and black mask popped up on screen." Slade…"
"great what's he up to now?" Raven asked." He's attacking a mine." Robin said turning towards the group." Sounds abit small time, why attack a mine of all things?" Wize inquired." Sense when did Slade ever need a reason to attack the city?" Beastboy said fairly.
" Well he looks like a guy that wouldn't do something without a motivation and a plan." Wize said bringing the hood of his outfit over his head." My thoughts exactly, let's go find out." Robin said as he bolted towards the tower exit with the group fallowing behind him, well except Terra who stayed behind timidly. She then felt alittle shove from Mercy who gave her an approving smile." Terra let's go!" Beastboy called out which encouraged her to fallow.
(at the mining facility)
The Titans arrived on the chaotic scene and immediately engaged the Slade bots. The Slade bots were relentless no matter their losses but the Titans held their ground as they began to push the bots out of the mine. Everyone seemed to be in their zone all except Wize who was keeping a close eye on Terra. He looked and saw as she crushed a few bots with Rocks rising from the ground to save Beastboy, but he noticed the timing was delayed and she seem to be losing focus.
" It couldn't be?" he thought to himself, as he immediately tried to make his way to her until a seven bots blocked his way." You're in my way!" his voice echoed with power as his eyes glowed with a golden hew the bots that locked on to him began to spark and fry before collapsing to the ground while the others where cut down with a quick slice from from his sword. As he breached the line of Bots he saw Terra grip her head with both hands with her eyes glowing brightly." Uh oh…" WIze said as he tried to pick up the pace but to no avail as the entrance to one of the mining tunnel collapsed in on her with Beastboy under the ruble.
"SHIT! Beastboy! " Wize said with both him and Robin trying to dig their friends out while Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven took care of the rest of the Bots. They breathed a sigh of relief, when they saw Beastboy crawl out in the form of a mouse before shifting back to his human form." Where's Terra!?" Wize asked immediately." I don't know I think she's Trapped on the other side!" Beastboy said in a panic.
" Ok, lets split up and search the-"Robin didn't get a chance to explain his plan before Wize blasted a clear path into the Ruble and ran in along with Beastboy." Or we blast a hole in the unstable ruble…" Robin said bitterly in frustration before fallowing them with the rest of the team.
As Wize and Beastboy reach the end of the Tunnel they found Terra shaking violently, along with Slade watching gleefully at her suffering." YOU BASTARD!" WIze charged in furry with sword in hand. Slade was quick on his feet to dodge a good few of the swipes from the blade." Impressive foot work, boy." He said as Wize went in for a stab to his face, but Slade skillfully caught the flat sides of the sword with both his hands.
" My, my. That was rather dangerous, but sadly, this fun has come to an end…" with that said Wize heard a beeping Noise before Slade exploded sending Wize crashing onto the wall." Ow, damn it…" he got up cracking his back abit he notice Slade had wires coming out of his severed head." Great another robot…" he turned his attention to Beastboy and Terra, and noticed her eyes glowing again." Beastboy…BACK AWAY." His warning didn't reach in time as Terra suddenly screamed with her powers ranging on, shaking the structure of the cave as she floated in midair.
Beastboy stared in horror at the sight before him." TERRA!" he screamed, to no avail as his voice could not reach her. Wize looked on the gust of wind and dust, with sharp rocks flowing through it." Beastboy, im going to erect a barrier over us, and I need you to go to Terra and calm her down!" Wize clasping his hands together as the field of light surrounded both Beastboy and himself, they both then proceeded to walk into the wind." How do you expect me to do that?" he asked desperately.
" I DON'T KNOW! JUST DO IT!" WIze said before kicking him out of the barrier and into the wind. As Beastboy flowed through the wind cursing WIze's name he saw Terra crying sorrowfully as she begged her powers to stop its destruction." TERRA!" Beastboy called out, but this time catching her attention." BEASTBOY!"
"TERRA IM HERE! YOU HAVE TO CALM DOWN!"
"I CANT, I JUST CANT!" she said again in between her cries." YES YOU CAN! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!" after a while the wind and earthquake died down as Beast and Terra kneeled to the ground embracing one another.
" You can't tell them…please." She begged." It's going to be alright Terra. You're among friends." WIze said as he walked up to them, they stared blankly at the piece of metal sticking into his hip." Oh…strange. I hardly noticed it." He said as he took it out of his hip, making Terra face turn alittle Green and Beastboys face alittle greener than normal.
(Back at the tower)
" we would be glad to have you on the team." Robin finally said as he took out a Titans communicator." Really…is it really ok for me to join you?" Terra asked timidly as she reached for the communicator." Of course. Well you will have to go though some training sense you can't control-"
"You told them!" her demeanor suddenly shifted into anger as she turned her attention to Beastboy." No Terra I didn't-" Beastboy could finish his sentence as Terra suddenly bolted out the exit of the tower." Terra waits!" Beastboy cried out, but WIze just suddenly sank into the ground and appeared outside cutting Terra off from her path." Out of my way!" She said holding back her tears." Terra relax Beast didn't say anything.
" WIze said as he held his hands out in a calming gesture." So you did!" She said as she launched a giant rock at Wize head but he then countered by raising his golden glowing hand and stopped the rock midair." How did you..."
"Terra, I didn't say anything either…" he let the rock fall to the ground." Terra, my real name is Darren Drake. I Come from the line of Seth." WIze explained." I don't understand."
"Oh to put it short, he's your long lost cousin." Mercy suddenly appeared startling Terra." Yeah you'll get used to that." WIze laughed alittle then walked up and placed his hand on her shoulder." Terra. I can't stop you from going. But if you stay, I'll show how to control your powers. I'll teach you, our heritage." She turned away for a moment." How can i face them again after what they know?"
"the same way you're doing it now." Terra looked up and saw Beastboy and the group looked on at her. She turned again to WIze who removed his mask to smile at her." Maybe…just alittle while longer then.
