ON WITH THE SHOW!

Terra walked up to the ruins that used to be her house and saw her mother's van in the driveway. Terra's stomach immediately filled with butterflies and a cold sweat broke out on her forehead; she sighed and proceeded into the dark ash and rubble.

"Hello?" Terra said to the darkness of the hallway. "Mom? Dad? Is anyone here?" Terra heard no one respond, but could make out the sound of soft sobs in the other room. She stepped over the holes in the floor and walked into what used to be the kitchen. Her mother and father were sitting in the ash covered chairs; she was softly crying while he held her gently to his chest.

"Mom…"

"TERRA!" Her parents cried out as they both stood and hugged her. Terra could feel her mother's tears hitting the top of her head as her chest rose up and down from heavy sighing. Her dad was giving her the tightest hug he'd ever given her and he too was crying.

"I thought I'd lost you…" Her mother sobbed. She let go of Terra and saw her uniform; her eyes filled with concern, but it faded when she noticed Grace wasn't with her. Once her dad had let go of her, they all sat down.

"Where's Grace?" Her dad said urgently.

Terra gulped silently and took a deep breath. "Mom, dad…"

"SHE'S DEAD?" they both said together as they choked back tears.

"No; she's fine…"

"Then where is she?" Her mother asked wiping her cheeks.

"It's a long story…but here it goes." Terra took in a breath and began.

"When you adopted me, you asked me to tell you everything about myself; and I did, but I left out some of my past… My real name is Terra Molovick…but Molovick as in the Russian royalty."

Her parents had confused expressions on their faces, but Terra continued.

"I was a princess in Russia basically. I had a father and a brother but my mother died. Our land was entering a battle and we were getting defeated left and right all of our men dying. My father became concerned and hired scientists to invent the ultimate weapon to give us an advantage, and they promised they would. The next day, they called upon my brother and me and told us to follow them. I was very young and didn't understand why they needed us so I stuck close to my brother. They brought us to a lab and told us to step into tanks filled with water and that it would be over soon. They were making us into the weapons.

"When I woke up the following day, I saw my brother in the lab raising his arms. I was very confused and started taping on the tank glass to get his attention. Unfortunately the scientists saw me first; they took me out of the tank and put me in a strange brown, orange, and yellow jumpsuit and took me to my brother. I hugged him, and asked him what's happening, why were we there, I was terrified. He told me what they did to us and I grew terrified. I became enraged and ran toward the scientists; but I was completely oblivious to the rocks that were flying across the room ahead of me. My brother told me that they gave us superpowers, more specifically, earth bending.

"I couldn't control my powers as well as my brother could, and I was scared I would hurt someone I loved, so I ran away to America.

"I tried to fit in to whatever city or town I came to, but my powers wouldn't let me. I would try to help someone and lose control causing avalanches, mudslides, and earthquakes enough to kill. I was going to completely give up on myself, but then I met the Teen Titans. I became part of their group and was so thrilled to be with other people like myself. But I still couldn't control my powers… So I ran away from them to, to save them and gain control.

"An evil man named Slade found me and told me that he could teach me how to control my powers completely; but I would have to in return do a favor for him, but I agreed. Within time, I was in complete control of my powers and went back to the Teen Titans with a mission from Slade. I had to destroy them. In time I understood what I did was wrong and killed Slade. But When I did, a volcano big enough to wipeout all of Jump City was triggered and I had to stay and stop it. While doing so…I turned to stone."

"Terra…are you" her mother began but Terra cut her off.

"I don't know how, but I came back to life! I knew I couldn't go back to the Titans because of what I did to them so a traveled into the city living on the streets until I found the orphanage and you guys adopted me.

"But two of my friends from the Titans disguised themselves to look like regular students at my school and tried to get me to come back to the Titans, and when they found me; so did Slade. He did this to our home. He broke in and threatened Grace, threatened me, threatened killing everyone and everything I loved, and set our house on fire. Now…Grace is currently at Titans tower being watched over by my friends. I'll bring her home to you soon, but she has to stay in our infirmary until the burns from the fire are healed."

Terra lied on this last part because she knew that Grace didn't want her parents to shun her for her newly developed powers.

"So Grace will come home, but I have to stay at Titans tower and defeat Slade once and for all. It's the only way things can go back to normal in my life, in your lives…"

Terra waited for her parents to respond, but they just sat there looking at each other. Her mom was the first to speak. "Terra did you hit your head during the fire?"

"What?"

"You're delusional…sweetheart." Her father said putting a hand on her forehead checking her temperature.

"You don't believe me?" Terra said as tears came to her eyes. Her parents didn't believe her, so she'd have to give them proof. "Come outside with me."

"No, Terra" her mom said grabbing her wrist. But Terra pulled it out of her grasp and turned back.

"Come. With. Me." Terra said in a harsh tone. Her parents said nothing and did as they were told. They walked over and around rubble that used to be their home until they were outside. Terra walked over to a large grassy area and took a breath. She lifted her arms above her head and quickly rose fifteen feet in the air as a large mass of earth lifted her. Her mother gasped in terror, and her father stood still, his mouth a gape.

Terra jumped up and thrust her hands into the rock as it fell back into place like a missing puzzle piece. She stood and brushed herself off as her parents stood on the other side of the yard.

"Do you believe me now? I'm telling the truth. And I have to stay with the Titans to defeat Slade to restore peace. You guys will move to New York and carry on with your lives without me. Understand?" Terra instructed.

Her mother stepped forward and hugged her. "Honey, I'm sorry we didn't believe you but after all that's happened, we can't lose you."

"What?" Terra said pulling out of the hug.

"You're coming with us to New York; it's far too dangerous here for you and Grace." Her mother said.

"I agree, Terra. You're coming with us."

"No I'm not!" Terra shouted. "I can't! I have to stay here and protect you guys, my friends and myself! I can't just leave now; Slade will still come after me, no matter if I'm here or in New York!"

"Terra, you're out of control and you're coming with us. That's final." Her mom said putting her hands on her hips.

"NO!" Terra said as she lifted her hands up and soared above the house on a chunk of their yard. "I'm staying! I'll bring Grace home tomorrow and then I want you guys to leave for your own safety!" Terra shouted back as she flew over the forest and out of sight.

Her mother began to cry as she hugged her husband. "We can't leave her behind, she's not safe and I love her too much."

Slade walked back and forth across the cold floor as he listened to the conversations of the Titans.

"We'll strike tomorrow…"

"Will Raven be alright?..."

"Yes, whatever happened to her, she'll recover…"

"Everything's set. Grace is going home tomorrow…"

Slade almost smiled. Everything was going according to plan. Raven was unconscious, Terra's family was leaving, and the Titans were off guard.

"You've done well Plasmus." Slade said not looking at the monster in front of him. "I must say I am proud of this. Everything's falling into place just as it should. And Raven is unaware, for she doesn't know she is the crown jewel. Her immense power is incomparable next to the other Titans and she doesn't even know it."

Slade stopped walking and faced Plasmus, Cinderblock and Overload. "We strike tonight."
