ON WITH THE REST OF THE SHOW!

Her vision was blurred when she opened her eyes; the only thing that was clearly visible was that she was in the infirmary. Raven sat up quickly only to be stopped when a hand was put on her shoulder.

"You need rest," the voice said. Raven's head ached and it wasn't completely clear who was talking. "Robin said you can't fight with us… I tried to change his mind, but he doesn't think you'll be able to…"

Raven sighed. "I can't see two inches in front of my face; I think Robin made the right decision."

"Do you remember what happened? I wasn't in the tower when you were attacked." The figure said as Raven's mind started to clear up.

She rubbed her temples to make things clear faster, but came short when she saw who the figure belonged to. Beast Boy.

"Umm…" Raven said hesitant. "All I can remember is that I went to run a test on something Plasmus was holding and that before I blacked out, my neck was stinging."

Beast Boy sighed and looked down at Raven's hand; he grabbed her's in his and smiled. "I asked Robin if I could stay behind, you know keep you company while everyone else is attacking, but Robin said that I'm a key weapon… I'm sorry Raven."

Raven took her hand out of his and blushed slightly. "Beast Boy it's fine. Robin, Terra and everyone else needs you. I'll be fine here by myself."

Beast Boy sat down and sighed. "Look Raven, I…"

"You should probably get ready for battle with everyone else, besides I need to meditate." She said standing from the cot and walking to the wall sitting in lotus position.

The last thing she heard was a sigh, footsteps, and the door sliding closed.

Beast Boy walked down the hall and into Terra's room. The first thing he saw was bunny Raven hoping across the room, then his eyes moved to the sofa to see Grace curled up with a cushion. He smiled and walked over to the bed where Terra was laying.

"Crazy day, huh?" Beast Boy said as he sat down on the bed's edge.

"You have no idea. My parents didn't believe me when I told them how I got my powers; they thought I hit my head or something during the fire." Terra said in frustration as she pulled a pillow over her head so that it covered her face.

Beast Boy couldn't help but be curious. "How did you get your powers?"

Terra sat up causing the pillow to fall into her lap. "It's a long story…"

"So is mine." Beast Boy said shrugging.

Terra tapped her chin then smiled. "How about we make a little trade?"

"I'm all ears," Beast Boy said with a smile.

"I'll tell you how I got my powers, if you tell me how you got yours."

"Deal." Beast Boy said nodding his head.

"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 even more so. 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."

Terra sighed as she finished her story. "I really miss my brother. He always had such control over his powers. He said he would teach me, but I didn't give him a chance…"

Terra held back tears as Beast Boy pulled her into a gentle hug. "I'm sorry Terra… are you sure you want to hear my story? We don't have to if you don't want to…"

"No, it's alright, I'm fine." Terra said as she wiped her eyes and cleared her throat.

"Alright… here it goes."

"When I was really little, I was living with my parents in the jungle. One day I wandered off on my own and found a monkey. I stepped toward it with my hand held out to pet it, and it jumped off of its branch, landed in front of me, bit me, and ran off. I screamed with pain and my parents found me and brought me back to the house we built. My parents were both doctors and realized that I had a rare and fatal disease. They were very smart and came up with antidote that they knew would cure me. I drank it and the pain went away, but was quickly replaced by a new pain. My parents had no idea what was going on and all they could do was try to calm me down as I cried in my bed from the pain. They gasped with horror as my ears became pointed, a fang appeared and covered my upper lip, and my hair and skin became green. When I told them the pain was gone and they told me what happened, they ran some tests and found out that the serum they gave to me, not only cured me, but gave me my animal shape-shifting powers."

Beast Boy took a deep breath and wiped his eyes.

"A few years later, we moved back to civilization. And one day when I was home alone, the police had come to my house and told me that my parents had died in a boating miss-hap. It was the worst day of my life."

Terra sat there speechless by her friend's story. "Your story is far worse than mine, I'm so sorry…"

"It's alright…" Beast Boy lied.

Terra hugged him as Grace sat up on the sofa. Terra let go of him and turned to Grace. She hadn't told her that she was going home tonight, but she knew she wouldn't take it well.

"Grace? Can you come here for a second?" Terra said as she pat her bed.

Grace stood up and slowly walked to the bed. "Yes?"

"I saw mom and dad today." Terra said looking at the small girl in front of her.

Grace's eyes lit up immediately. "What did they say?"

Terra sighed. "They miss you. They want you home… I'm taking you back tonight and you're all leaving for New York this weekend."

Grace frowned. "What about you?"

"I have to stay here with the Titans." Terra said looking at Beast Boy who frowned at Grace. "I have to help them protect the city, protect the citizens, protect my family."

Grace started crying. "Haven't you thought about us? We're going to miss you! I can't live without you Terra, you're my big sister!"

Terra picked up her little sister and held her tightly. "I know, and I'm sorry Grace I love you."

Grace said nothing, she just let her tears soak into Terra's shirt as Terra stood and walked toward the door.

"Tell the others that I'm taking her home and I'll be back in an hour." Terra said to Beast Boy as he stood off the bed.

"WAIT!" Grace said as she squirmed in Terra's arms. "What about Starfire? And Beast Boy? And Cyborg? And Robin and Raven? I don't get to say goodbye?"

Terra sighed. "Alright Grace, but you don't have a lot of time. Grab Raven and say goodbye."

Grace nodded and picked up her little black bunny. She walked up to Beast Boy and looked up. "Good Bye Beast Boy, I'll miss you."

Beast Boy knelt down so that he was eye level with Grace. "I'll miss you too Grace." Grace hugged him and he hugged her back. Grace let go, looked at Terra and when she saw she wasn't looking, she turned back to Beast Boy.

She leaned into his pointed ear and whispered. "I think Terra likes you! You better take good care of her or else." Grace said seriously as she held up her fist and it started to glow blue. Grace grew startled and shook it making it stop glowing.

Beast Boy smiled and laughed as he hugged Grace once more. "I promise Grace, I will."

Grace let go and waved goodbye to Beast Boy as she grabbed Terra's hand and walked out of the room. They walked down the hallway and turned into the main room where Robin and Cyborg were talking and pointing to a map of Jump City on the monitor. Terra waited by the door while Grace ran down the stairs and up behind them.

"Watch doing?" Grace said as she walked in between their legs. Cyborg looked down, smiled and put a metal hand on top of Grace's head. "We're trying to map out where we think Slade will be hiding."

"I see…" Grace said as she pet her tiny bunny. "Well, Terra's taking me back to my home and I just wanted to say goodbye."

Cyborg looked down at Grace with a frown. He picked her up and gently hugged her trying not to hurt her. "I'll see you around kid."

"Bye Cyborg." Grace pulled herself up to his face and gave him a tiny kiss on the cheek.

Cyborg smiled sweetly as he put the small girl down. Grace turned to Robin and pulled on his cape because he wasn't paying attention. "Robin, Slade can wait. I'm trying to say goodbye."

Robin glanced at Grace and sighed as he smiled and knelt down to hug the little girl. "It was really nice meeting you Grace. Be sure to take care, and practice your powers whenever you can."

Grace nodded her head as she gave Robin the same kiss that she gave Cyborg. "Goodbye Robin."

"I'm really going to miss you guys…"

Grace waved goodbye to the boys as they turned back to the screen and continued in their conversation. She walked back to her sister and they walked out of the room to find Starfire in the hallway.

"I have heard from Beast Boy that you are leaving the Tower tonight, new friend…"

"Beast Boy told you right Star, I'm taking her home tonight." Terra said holding Grace's hand. "She just wanted to say goodbye to everyone before we left.

Starfire had tiny tears in her eyes as she looked down at Grace. "I shall miss you friend!" She wailed as she picked up Grace in a death grip hug. Grace started to cry and returned the hug with the same death grip strength.

"Starfire," Grace said in between sobs. "Who's going to help me with my powers? Who's going to encourage me to keep trying?"

"Grace," Starfire said as she set the small girl down. "What I will do is see if once a week I can visit you and take you to a location where we can practice your powers. Does this sound like a good plan?"

Grace nodded and hugged the Tameranian girl once more before walking down the hallway to the infirmary with Terra. They entered as the door slid open. The room was dark, but they could easily see Raven meditating in the corner.

"Beast Boy, I told you I don't want to talk…" Raven said as she turned around. She was surprised to see Grace and Terra in the door instead of Beast Boy. Terra had the same expression of shock…but for a different reason.

Terra cleared her throat and smiled. "I'm taking Grace home and she wanted to say goodbye to everyone before we left. You're the last person."

Grace let go of Terra's hand and walked over to Raven and rapped her arms around her. "I'm gonna miss you Raven."

Raven smiled and returned the hug sweetly. "I'll miss you too Grace. Be sure to take care, and keep safe."

Once Raven let go, Grace pulled her down so she could whisper in her ear. "I think that Beast Boy and Terra like each other. I won't be here, and I want you to watch them."

Raven smiled. How appropriate… she thought.

"I will." Raven answered.

Grace smiled and turned back to Terra. "Alright, we can leave now."

Terra nodded and took Grace's hand once more as they traveled to the top of the tower to leave.

When Terra landed the large boulder Grace and her were riding on in the backyard, Grace flew up to the door, but caught herself before she went inside. She waited for Terra as she threw the boulder into the forest causing a tree to crack.

"You promise you won't tell mommy and dad about my powers right?" Grace asked with sad brown eyes.

Terra nodded and picked up her sister. "Yes, but only if you promise to never forget me."

Grace frowned and rest her head on Terra's shoulder as they walked into the ruins of their home. "Mom? Dad? Anyone here?" Terra yelled.

"MOMMY, DADDY, WHERE ARE YOU!" Grace yelled in Terra's ear causing her to flinch. They both heard running footsteps and saw their parents run out of the hallway, both covered in soot. When they saw Grace, their mother started crying and they embraced their two daughters happily.

"The family's together again…" Grace said through tears. "I really missed you guys."

"We missed you too, and the family's staying together. Forever." Their dad said looking at Terra. Terra sighed. "I told you guys I can't stay. Because of my powers, I've been given a huge responsibility taking care of the city and all of its citizens!"

"That is no excuse Terra!" Her mother said frustrated. "We adopted you, we have legal custody over you, and we have all say in what you do!"

"That's not fair! I'm sixteen; I think I can make my own decisions mom!" Terra fought back.

"It doesn't matter how old you are young lady, we are your parents…"

"NO YOU'RE NOT! MY FAMILY IS IN RUSSIA, YOU GUYS ARE MY FOSTER PARENTS, AND THAT MEANS, ACCORDING TO THE ADOPTION PAPERS THAT IF MY REAL FAMILY IS STILL ALIVE AND IN CONTACT, I CAN CONTACT THEM AND THEY WILL TAKE ME BACK GIVING ME COMPLETE CONTROL OVER WHAT I DO WITH MY LIFE!" Terra screamed at her parents with fire in her words. Her eyes were shut tightly, but when she opened them, her parents mouths were a gape and Grace was crying loudly.

Terra hurt them…her mother began to cry and her father just frowned and said nothing. Terra stood there silently watching what she caused.

"I… I…didn't…mean what I said…" Terra stuttered as she watched Grace cling to her mom's leg for dear life.

"I'm sorry. I would never want to leave you guys; I love you too much, but… I have to stay, help my friends fight and watch over the city. I'll try to visit you as much as possible. I'm just asking you if I can stay…" She trailed off.

Her father looked up. "So now you're asking us if you can stay…" Terra nodded.

Her mother wiped her eyes. "Terra… I love you. I don't want to see you get hurt."

Terra sighed. "Alright I'll go to New…"

"But," Her mother interrupted her. "You may stay and protect the city with your friends, if you come to visit us once a month and PROMISE to write every day."

Terra smiled brightly with tears in her eyes as she hugged her mother tightly. "Thank you… I promise I will." Her Dad and Grace soon joined in the hug and they were all crying.

"We love you Terra…"

"We'll miss you…"

"I'll miss you the most!"

Terra let go of her family and began stepping back towards the door. "I love all of you, please remember that."

They nodded and waved goodbye as Terra stepped out of the door and onto a rock and flew up into the sky that was now becoming black.

Once Terra had sat down on the sofa and was waiting for Robin to give everyone the motivation speech, she thought back on today; dropped out of school for a month, rejoined the Teen Titans for good, and said good bye to her family.

She wished there was a way for her family to stay and for her to be part of the Titans. But lately it seemed, luck wasn't on her side…

"Alright everyone," Robin said as he stood in front of the large group. "Tomorrow we attack Slade. You all know your fighting patterns, and I think that we are well prepared. Just to go over everything once more before we get well deserved rest, Terra will lure Slade out of hiding by walking around the city, once he is out, Starfire and Bumble Bee will attack first."

"What about Raven?" Beast Boy questioned.

"She isn't capable of fighting, and she doesn't seem to realize that her head was badly damaged." Robin countered back. Beast Boy said nothing and went back to listening with the others.

"Once Slade is weakened in the slightest bit, Speedy, Cyborg and I will attack and weaken him even more so. Once we are finished, we will lead him down to the docks where Mas Y Menos, Aqualad, and Beast Boy will take over. Once they have finished we will all clear out while Terra finishes him for good."

Everyone nodded, and a few cheered at the plan for they were certain that they would be victorious. They all soon began to leave the meeting room one by one for rest when the blaring alarm sounded filling the tower with shrieks of panic.

Robin, thinking on his feet, ran to the monitor to find two images up on the screen. The image to the right showed Cinderblock in the middle of the city flipping cars, crashing through buildings, and hurting anyone who stood too close. The image to the left however, showed Overload at the city's power plant draining the city's electricity with every pacing second.

"Titans East, you take Overload! The rest of us with take on Cinderblock. TITANS GO!"

Once the alarm had stopped shrieking, the Titans were gone and the tower was empty…or so they thought…
