I hope everyone had some happy Holidays. I don't own Teen Titans. Rated T for Ke$ha and naughty words. And I refuse to apologize for the Ke$ha! LOL. Oh and to answer a question from Vin that had me thinking for a while, I'd actually give Jinx a better shot of winning that Starfire or Terra. In fact, if there was just one fight on neutral ground, I'd give the win to Jinx, due to the fact that the others would believe her to be the least amount of threat. The rest of the girls would be more likely to target each other and leave the perceived "weakest" one out of them for last. All she'd need to win is a little luck or for everyone else to have really bad luck, which she can arrange. But I curious to see what other people think so I posted a poll for who you think would win.
3:30 a.m.
"Raven, wake up."
Raven slowly stirred into consciousness, confused at who would be calling her name that early in the morning without the crime alert being activated. Whoever it was, they were dead.
"Oh, please. I know you are not pleased with me waking you, but you would never kill me. Or you couldn't kill me for that matter."
Raven groaned. She knew that voice. She groggily got up from bed and went to her dresser and opened the top drawer. Inside was her mirror and within it was Desire. "What could you possibly want this early in the morning?"
"I would typically have waited for you to wake up in the morning, but this is an emergency. I need you to come to Nevermore in order to discuss it. The event has many of us...upset."
'Oh great, what could be going wrong now?' Raven eyes glowed for a moment and she was sucked into her mirror.
Nevermore
"So what is so important that it couldn't wait til the morning?" Raven was standing in the area she affectionately called the "Board Room". Typically she met with her emoticlones individually, in their own section of Nevermore. They were free to go to whichever section they wished, except for Rage. But, since she had combined with all her emoticlones to defeat her father in her mind, she had decided that a section of Knowledge's library would be a neutral field where they could meet all of the at once. Called the "Board Room" simply due to the long table at they all sat at, the decor was more of oriental in origin, with table sitting low and with pillows instead of chairs,
"The problem is we are losing Beast Boy to the other girls."
Raven groaned. She should have known that if Desire had called the meeting, it had to be about Beast Boy. "Just because we haven't really spent any time together doesn't mean that we are losing him to the other girls. We've just been busy doing other things."
"Yes," hissed a voice at the opposite end of the table. Raven looked to see who it was and was surprised to see Rage sitting there. She had always had a spot a these meetings, ever since Trigon had been banished, but she had never showed up whenever the emoticlones were summoned. "We all know what you have been busy doing. Why you bothered with it, I will never know.I don't see why she should care. So what if the Green One chooses another mate for now? Eventually, we will possess him."
"A. She needed to do that so she can grow emotionally as a person," Knowledge said in an agitated voice. "B. We do not possess people. C. I don't believe you should be here during this particular meeting."
"Aw, didn't you miss me, Knowledge?"
"Anyway," Raven said, not giving Knowledge any time to answer, "how about I just promise to spend more time with him when he gets back. Can I go to sleep now?"
"Raven, do know what Beast Boy did today?" Desire asked.
"Probably played video games, made tofu, and played pranks on people."
"He did none of those things. He left early in the morning with Starfire. And not until just recently did he return."
"Well, they have been hanging out a lot since she has been dealing with Robin. Maybe after they got detained by some criminal." Raven said, with conviction she did not possess.
"Without backup. Til three in the morning. That might have been the weakest argument you've made since the time you tried to explain to Beast Boy why you couldn't go swimming with him."
"Or why we couldn't play video games with him."
Raven remembered those arguments. They had ended with Beast Boy in the ocean and some regret meditation. "So what do expect me to do? Just walk up and say to him, "Hey Beast Boy, I know I have been a huge jerk to you, but it only because I really like you. Please go out with me?" He'd laugh in my face and you all know it. So if this was the only thing you guys wanted to talk about, then meeting adjourned." With that Raven vanished from the room.
The remaining emoticlones looked towards Desire. She looked around and saw a particularly pleased looking Rage at the end of the table and grimaced. Desire sighed and said, "Plan B it is then." The emoticlones nodded.
Raven emerged from Nevermore expecting to get an immediate barrage from Desire. Surprisingly there was none. She went to her bed and laid back down. Somehow the silence from her head did not put her at ease.
Raven woke up earlier than usual. Her dreams unsettled her, but she could not recall what they were about. She decided that she may need to meditate a little more that usual, in order to sort her mind. She quickly got dressed in her leotard and cape and went left her room. Her intent was to walk up to the roof, but her feet weren't taking her that way. She was upset to see that she found herself outside of Beast Boy's door. She scowled and was about to leave when she heard a voice come from the room. A feminine voice. She looked around and leaned against the door.
"...what do you see me as? A friend, a love interest, a girlfriend, an enemy, what? What am I to you?
There was a pause at the other side of the door. Raven had just planned on listening further, but heard someone walking down the hall. She sunk into the shadows as Robin walked up to Best Boy's door. Raven found herself back in control of her body and transported herself to the roof. 'What on earth was that? Why did I go to Beast Boy's door? And why was Terra in his room that early?
Blackfire yawned as she walked into her abode, She was tired from spending the night doing her job and would usually not hesitate to just take shower and go to bed, but she heard her favorite noise in the universe. The noise of her special communicator. She walked over to the device and smiled. It had taken a lot to get over her hatred of her sister, but now her talks with her sister were one of the best things in her life. She quickly sat down in a chair in her living room and turned on the device.
"Good morning sister," Starfire said in a hushed tone. Blackfire heard her tone and swore revenge on whoever would take the wonder out of her sister's gentle tones.
"Good morning Star. Is something the matter? Did something happen on your date with the green one?"
Starfire brightened at the mention of Beast Boy. "No, Beast Boy and I had a wonderful time. We played with the orphaned children together, watched a wonderful movie about a panda who did much of the whooping of the butt, we had a wonderful lunch and dinner, and fell asleep watching the stars together. The evening was magical."
"Really? Then I would have expected you to sound much more like you did now, than when you originally called me. Has something happened since then?"
Starfire glanced away from the screen. "Well yes, something did occur."
"Which was?"
Starfire remained looking away from the screen. "Well, this morning Beast Boy, Robin, and Cyborg were going to the Titans East to do the checking up on them."Starfire's voice began to break as she went on. "When they were about to leave Beast Boy and Raven had an...interaction with each other that I found most displeasing."
"And what interaction was it in particular, sister dear?" Blackfire hesitantly asked, fearing she already knew the answer.
"Raven gave Beast Boy the goodbye kiss." Starfire began to cry, thinking that her new possible love had been taken away from her before she was fully able to act yet again.
Seeing the tears on her younger sister's face sent Blackfire's mind into scramble mode. 'Shit! She's crying! What do I do? What do I do? If I can't help her out now, then what good am I as her sister. C'mon think, think, think.' Blackfire bit he lip in frustration, when she thought of something. "Did Beast Boy return the kiss?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, when Raven kissed him, did he make any moves to kiss her back?"
Starfire cries turned sniffles, as she thought about the event. "I don't believe he made any motion toward her when she kissed him."
"And were all the girls there? The ones that you think are also in pursuit of Beast Boy?"
"Yes, Terra and Jinx were also present."
Blackfire thought that this might be a bad idea, but also knew that this could be the only way to prevent her sister from going back to the dark place in her mind. And small as it may be, Starfire didn't need to be in any dark places. "Well, since he didn't respond and all other competing females were present, Raven has issued a declaration of Glor Forq."
Starfire gasped. No had even mentioned Glor Forq in hundreds of years. "Sister! That is ridiculous! There's no way that we could go forward with a Glor Forq. I could never hurt my friends even if we are competing for Beast Boy affection."
"Fighting isn't the strict criteria for Glor Forq, it's just the traditional way of determining the winner. The point is, Raven has challenged you all to the right to mate with Beast Boy. Will you respond to the challenge or will you flee like Sinfir, the Cowardly."
Blackfire eyes lit in joy when she saw her sister's eyes start to glow green. Angry Starfire was so much better than sad Starfire. "Do not imply such things. I am no caward. I will go and tell the others that we have been conscripted into Glor Forq."
"See that you do." Blackfire said with a smile.
"Goodbye sister, I must prepare. Oh and thank you sister." The call disconnected.
Blackfire went to her bathroom and took a long shower. he then dressed herself in some pajamas and went to bed, having rarely slept as peacefully as she did that day.
Jinx and Terra sat in the T-Car, Jinx driving through the streets haphazardly. Yeah, what she had just seen had her pissed off. Hell, both females in the car were. There were just lines you did not cross in the world and Raven had just danced all over it. It would have been one thing if Raven had given a kiss of affection in front of them, but that wasn't it. Raven had just used that kiss on the roof to declare Beast Boy as her territory. She had just thrown down the gauntlet and she would be deftly mistaken if she believed it would go unanswered. Still, the way Jinx was whipping and weaving through cars made it feel like they were in a car chase and not going to pick up some clothes. Terra was having and issue staying more mad than sick. "Could you calm down before you kill us or somebody else?!"
Jinx just grunted as she tried to calm down. 'Maybe some music will help.' She turned on the radio.
Hot and dangerous
If you're one of us, then roll with us
'Cause we make the hipsters fall in love
And we've got our hot-pants on and up
And yes of course we does, we running this town just like a club
And no, you don't wanna mess with us
Got Jesus on my necklace
Jinx glanced over at Terra. She loved to listen to Ke$ha, but always worried the people around her would make fun of her for it. At first, it didn't seem as if Terra was enjoying the song, but a second glance showed her foot tapping to the beat. It appeared that Terra had the same fears as her. She started to tap her hand audibly against the steering wheel.
I've got that glitter on my eyes
Stockings ripped all up the side
Looking sick and sexyfied
So let's go-o-o (Let's go!)
Terra noticed that Jinx was getting into the song as well and sighed in relief. Now she could dance like she wanted to the song. She started by nodding her head, the motion moving down to her hips as the song went on.
Tonight we're going har har-har ha-ha-hard
Just like the world is our our-our our-our-ours
We're tearin' it apart part-part pa-pa-part
You know we're superstars, we are who we are!
We're dancing like we're dum dum-dum dum-dum-dumb
Our bodies go num num-num num-num-numb
We'll be forever youn youn-youn youn-youn-young
You know we're superstars, we are who we are!
Oh, Jinx just couldn't help it anymore. These were her favorite lyrics of the song. She started to sing with the radio and was surprised when another voice entered as well. Terra's.
DJ turn it up
It's about damn time to live it up
I'm so sick of being so serious
It's making my brain delirious!
I'm just talkin' truth
I'm telling you 'bout the shit we do
We're sellin' our clothes, sleepin' in cars
Dressin' it down, hittin' on dudes (HARD!)
I've got that glitter on my eyes
Stockings ripped all up the side
Looking sick and sexyfied
So let's go-o-o (Let's go!)
The two girls fond themselves simultaneously pumping their hands together at this point, going wild in Cyborg's car as if they were alone.
Tonight we're going har har-har ha-ha-hard
Just like the world is our our-our our-our-ours
We're tearin' it apart part-part pa-pa-part
You know we're superstars, we are who we are!
We're dancing like we're dum dum-dum dum-dum-dumb
Our bodies go num num-num num-num-numb
We'll be forever youn youn-youn youn-youn-young
You know we're superstars, we are who we are!
DJ turn it up (up up up up up up)
DJ turn it up (up up up up up up)
DJ turn it up (up up up up up up)
DJ turn it up (up up up up up up uuuup)
Tonight we're going har har-har ha-ha-hard
Just like the world is our our-our our-our-ours
We're tearin' it apart part-part pa-pa-part
You know we're superstars, we are who we are!
We're dancing like we're dum dum-dum dum-dum-dumb
Our bodies go num num-num num-num-numb
We'll be forever youn youn-youn youn-youn-young
You know we're superstars, we are who we are!
As the song's music faded away, the two teens tensed up. Though not the most reserved Titans, it was awkward for the two to just let loose like that, especially in front of someone they barely knew. After a couple minutes, Jinx decided to try to break the tension. "So, uh, I heard you made quite a ruckus when you came after the Titans with Slade."
Terra blushed and turned away at the comment. "Yeah, well, from what I heard you weren't so easy on them yourself when you showed up. Also, you were working for Slade at he time."
"Touche." The ride resumed the awkward silence as another song played.
"So, how'd you go from thief in international evil organisation to Teen Titans member? That's a big 180."
"Look who's talking, Ms. I-Conquered-All-of-Jump-City after being a Titan." Terra turned red once again. "Well, there was a push and a pull factor really. The push was that my hero, my Idol, my Goddess was an asshole who took pleasure in demeaning everything I did and was a complete bitch."
"And the pull factor?"
"There was a cute guy stopping us at the time and he made me feel important. But, as it turns, he was just trying to get into my pants. Apparently villainess is a synonym for easy lay. Who knew?" Jinx spat with a sarcastic chuckle.
"Oh. I'm sorry." Terra said in a quiet voice.
Jinx felt out the simple words that Terra was saying, looking for pity or worse, sarcasm, but she found none. The girl sounded as if she was genuinely sad that Kid Flash had been an asshole. Almost as if she had been through the something similar. Jinx was about to question her further when they arrived at the warehouse and Terra jumped out of the car. "I'll be right back. It should only take a few trips."
Jinx pulled out the starter chip and got out as well. "Well then it would be done twice as quickly."
Terra looked nervous. "Uh, you don't have to do that."
"I know I don't have to, but I'm going to."
"Okay."
The girls went into the warehouse. Terra had brought bags for her stuff, but then Jinx started to throw it into a storage portal and eventually she followed suit. Soon the two had been through most of the warehouse til only one remained. "Okay, we should get going." Terra said, ignoring the room.
"What about this room? Don't you have stuff in there?"
"Uh, no that's just a...storage room!" 'Crap did I just say storage room!'
"Then shouldn't there be stuff in there?" Jinx asked skeptically.
Terra began sweat profusely. "It's empty, I swear!"
"Oh really. Then I guess you wouldn't mind me taking a peak then." Jinx opened the door, only to find a room with a desk and a chair.
"See, it's empty. Now let's go."
"Hmmm." Jinx entered the room and Terra followed her nervously. 'Please don't notice it. Please don't notice it.' Terra prayed but had no such luck. Jinx saw the frame on the desk and looked at it. It seemed that she had collaged a photo of the Titans. There was Robin in a tux while Starfire was in a pink dress. There was a picture of Cyborg working on the T-Car. There was even a picture of Raven reading, taken at a profile. But in the center was one of Beast Boy, looking up gleefully, at what Jinx did not know. "Why didn't you want me to see this?"
Terra looked close to tears. "Every one of he picture in that frame were taken from Slade's database on the Titans. These are the people trusted me. The people who believed I could be a hero. And I failed them. More than that, I betrayed them." Terra's voice began to crack and tears were flowing freely. " And they keep trusting me. I don't deserve people like them. This picture was supposed to be the last connection I had with the Titans. I swore on this picture that I don't even deserve to have that I would stop bothering them. And now, I've broken that promise. I couldn't look at that picture, it'd taunt me." Terra heard glass crack and felt an arm around her shoulder.
Jinx whispered into her ear, "Maybe that promise was meant to be broken." Jinx handed her the picture in the broken frame and walked out of the room. She waited a couple minutes, as Terra said goodbye to a place that been her home, before yelling, "Now come on! I want to grab some Dairy Queen before we get home."
Beast Boy was somewhere over the Rockies when he saw him. For a second he thought he must be going crazy, but there he was going into a cave. The best person in the world to talk to when something big was on your mind. Beast Boy changed course and headed to the same cave he was in. He morphed back into his human form and surprised his friend. "What's up, Jericho. What are you doing way up here?"
Jericho turned and was surprised and nervous to see the green Titan in front of him. He quickly signed his answer.
"That's good to here. I would have figured that you'd start with more interesting mountains that the Rockies, but it does sound like a fun journey. The others aren't here, I'm just flying back to Jump City alone when I saw you enter this cave. So I need some advice."
The blonde boy smiled at this and motioned for him to continue.
"Well, here's the thing, there are four girls who like me. Like, like me like me. And I have no idea how to choose any over the others. They just feel, kinda right when they're near me. It's weird. And I don't want them to be sad or to fight with each other. What do you think I should do?"
The blonde boy thought for a moment and then signed some very inappropriate answers.
"What!? There's no way I can do that! You and my inner Beast are crazy!"
The mute boy gave what appeared to be a laugh and then signed more to his friend.
"You are so not funny!"
The boy signed to him again and Beast Boy looked at him astonished. When Jericho finished telling Beast Boy of his plan, the green teen gaped.
"Are you crazy? They'd kill me for that."
Jericho signed once again.
"I guess you're right. Thanks Jericho. I guess I'll see you when you get done. Maybe. See ya." Beast Boy morphed into a Raven and flew away.
Jericho watched his friend go and then set up a gas lamp. He made two cups of soup and waited. After around half an hour, a figure showed up in the cave. They gave no salutation to Jericho and just took the second cup of soup. Jericho only had to wait a couple moments before they spoke, their voice muffled by the black and orange mask they wore. "So I see one of the other Titans was here. Have you betrayed me?"
Jericho simply shook his head.
"That's good to hear. What a good boy you are."
Jericho signed the the person in the mask.
"You know perfectly well why." The masked person pulled out a deadly looking katana. It had a pale gleam from the light outside. Jericho stood up and inched towards the door. "I'm feeling generous. You can have a 20 second head start this time. One." Jericho left at the n in one and 19 seconds later, the masked figure was after him.
When Terra and Jinx walked in, they were met by Starfire. While the two girls had cooled down somewhat from the morning, they knew when they reached the Tower, there could be a grudge match going on. They also knew that the would soon be competing against the girl next to them for the hand of the man they cared for. But neither was prepared for the curt voice of the red headed alien. "Follow me please."
The three girls went to the living room. Raven was already sitting there. When the other two girls met the eyes of the young sorceress, there was an instant wave of anger that rushed into the room. Everyone tensed momentarily, preparing for one of them to attack. And one did. Jinx quickly jumped at the hooded girl. She may not have been the fastest of the girls, but you wouldn't have known it from the speed that Jinx slapped Raven across the face. More damage may have been done, but Starfire had grabbed the cat eyed girl. Knowing there was no way to break free from her, Jinx continued the assault with her words. "How could you? How could you do something like that?! Trying to claim him, to mark him as yours in front of all of us. I thought you had more class than that Raven. But maybe you are just a Demon."
Raven did not respond to Jinx's words. She couldn't, for she felt they Jinx at least had the right to say them. Starfire though, had plenty to say. "You will not call Raven the enemy. She has committed a great wrong unto us, but now is not the time for us to address it. As she has told me earlier, Beast Boy did not accept her as his girlfriend. And since she has made a claiming statement, the ancient Tamaranean tradition of Glor Forq has been issued."
"And what on Earth is Glor Forq?" Terra asked.
"Glor Forq is a competition between females that want the same mate. The females have the right to confess to the mate in any order they choose. The desired mate will either choose one of the females or decide on a challenge and the winner will be the rightful mate of the desired one."
"And Beast Boy will be here soon, according to Cyborg. He made some kind of stop in the Rockies, but should be here in about 15 minutes" Raven added.
"Wait, are we really going to let one of Starfire's weird customs force us to decide which of us Beast Boy chooses?" Jinx asked.
"Does anyone have any better idea?" The room was silent. "Then I guess we are."
"So what's the order?"
"I believe that asking all at once would be the most direct solution."
"I'm fine with that."
"I guess that's okay."
"C-c-can I go first?" Terra asked timidly.
"Does no one object to friend Terra's want to go first?" No one said a word. "Then you may go first, but before you speak your amorous word, tell him of our presence and the Glor Forq."
"Thank you." Terra walked quietly as she walked to the stairs for the roof. The rest of the girls sat down on the couch and waited.
Beast Boy was surprised to see someone was waiting in the roof for him when he arrived. 'Cyborg must have told them about me coming back. Well, the sooner I get this over with the sooner it will end.' The last girl that Beast Boy had suspected to see here was Terra. In a way he was glad it was, but in another he wished it was anyone else. This on was going to hurt.
"Hey Terra. Wait for me long?"
Terra shook her head and looked at the young man in front of her. She finally seemed to notice how tall he had gotten, not really tall, but definitely taller than her and Raven. His voice sounded so much more mature than it had. It felt like it had been a year since they had went to the pier with each other, but in reality it had only been months. "So, you've got quite a reception when you get inside."
Beast Boy laughed quietly. "Really? What kind?"
"The kind where two sorceresses and an alien expect you to tell them how you really feel about them. Or have you make a competition in order for them to decide between themselves."
Beat Boy looked at her sadly. "Is that right? And what about you?"
Terra waited a moment. "I want you to answer the question I asked this morning."
"I see." The two stood there, looking into each others eyes. Beast Boy sighed and turned away, unable to look at her ace as he said these words. "Terra you are my friend. One of my dearest friends. But I can't be you boyfriend. At least not yet. We've spent so much time apart. You've lived a whole other life since we've last even had a real conversation. We've got to get to know one another again. I've got to see if I can trust you with my heart again."
"Okay. Thank you." Terra walked towards the stairs off of the roof. Beast Boy couldn't bring himself to watch the girl leave, knowing that he even saw a tear hit the ground, that it would break him. Beast Boy wiped his eyes and then closed them, using muscle memory to navigate his way to the elevator. He hit the down button and got in. He composed himself on the ride down and tried to make his trademark smile, but it just wasn't coming to him. The elevator dinged and he walked into the room. He walked over to the couch and saw the three girls waiting for him.
"Has Terra told you of the Glor Forq?"
"She did."
"So, what's your answer?"
Beast Boy prepared himself for the beating he was about to receive and said with as much gusto as he could, "The competition is if you agree to be in my harem!" his finger pointing in the air at the exclamation.
The three girls sat there in shock of what was just said. Beast Boy, a boy known for pining after one girl for all his teenage years, had just suggested a harem filled with three of the most powerful young girls on the planet. It was a ballsy play.
Raven knew that the most logical answer would be to say no, and beat the living snot out Beast Boy when he suggested such a thing. Raven knew that he was smarter that to think they would agree. 'There's got to be some kind of trick to this question...that's it! He wants us to all say no. Then he didn't hurt anyone's feeling and our feelings would turn into anger which we would work out through attacking him. Even if one of us said yes, the other wouldn't be into sharing one guy. So the answer to the problem is just be the first person to say yes.' "I agree to your terms Beast Boy."
Beast Boy's finger and arm drooped when he heard on of the girls say yes. "You do?"
"Yes."
"Okay then! That's one!" Beast Boy said with resumed gusto, he and Raven both sure that no one else would agree.
Starfire also thought of the proposal from the changeling but in a different way. 'On Tamaran, there is no law that says one cannot have multiple mates. Mostly because most feel that they can only have one true love, but it is not unheard of for a male or female to take on more than on mate. It would just take an exceptional man or woman to deal with such a lifestyle. Does Beast Boy have the qualities to take up such a task?' Her thoughts stopped at such an insane notion. "I agree with your conditions as well."
"What!?" yelled the three other people in the room, all looking incredulously at the alien.
"I have agreed to your terms. Beast Boy is strong and gentle, loyal and heart-warming, funny and caring. It would in no way lower me to be with such a man, even if he has more than one mate."
Beast Boy was unable to speak due the howling from the Beast in his head. 'That's two young one. It seems the blonde one's plan has failed in the most perfect of ways! Hahaha!' The rest of the room turned towards Jinx.
Jinx was down right stupefied at the fact that not one, but two of the girls had agreed to his demands that they form his harem. She was about to refuse when she looked him in the eyes. His eyes showed that he had no idea that anyone would agree, let alone two girls agree. 'He's not like Wally. He's not trying to play with multiple girls hearts, he was giving us an out. There's no way he would hurt us, even if the relationship is...unorthodox.' "You girls are crazy and so is the Green Bean over there. Lucky for him, I like crazy. I'm in."
'That's three! Who knew I had such a good host! Hahaha!'
Beast Boy's mind could not handle what ha just happened. Not in his wildest dreams had he thought that this outcome was possible. "I've got three girlfriends now," he said in a weak voice and then did the only thing a man could do when he had acquired three beautiful super powered girlfriends in the span of five minutes. He fainted. Starfire and Jinx rushed over to him, while Raven slipped away. There was a little business that had to be finished that night.
Terra was running on the beach away from the Tower. She could have flown using her powers , but didn't want to let anyone know she was leaving. She had left stuff in Jinx's portal and couldn't ask her for it. All she had with her was a little money,the clothes on her back, and a broken picture frame with a picture inside. She was about to make her way to the gorge when someone stood in front of her. A girl in a blue cloak. "Going somewhere?"
"Yes."
"Where to?"
"...I don't know."
Raven stood there for a moment. "Why?"
Terra was angry at the question. "What do you mean, why?! He rejected me. He said I wasn't the one for him."
"That's not he said. He said that you couldn't be together right now."
"You were listening," Terra hissed.
"Yes, I was."
"...I'm leaving." Terra attempted to rush past Raven, but she had other plans. She grabbed hold of geomancer's arm, refusing to let go. Terra yanked her arm multiple times, but Raven held strong. Finally, Terra collapsed on the ground, snot running from her nose and tears rolling down her face. "Why won't you let me go?"
Raven sat down beside her. "Because I don't want to see you make another big mistake." Terra looked at the girl beside her for elaboration. "Listen, I've been in your mind. I've seen all your memories, all the thing you've done to survive. And you know what. Terra, me and you are more alike then I thought. If I hadn't found the Titans, I would have been in the exact same boat that you found yourself in. I can't watch you make another big mistake and hurt the one you gave up so much to be with again."
Terra looked into the girls violet eyes. "R-raven, d-d-does this mean that..."
Raven smiled a gentle smile and pulled the girl towards her. "Yes. It hasn't been easy for me to do it, but Terra, I forgive you for hurting us."
"How? I've done terrible things to all of you. I've betrayed you, maimed you, and broken your hearts. How could you even trust me after all that?"
"You are not the same girl who did those things. The girl who did those things would have seen Beast Boy screaming in pain and run away from it. She would have never risked her standing as a normal person to take on the emotion drama of a superhero. She wouldn't have given up her normal life, her old friends, her entire identity for a boy who said he loved her. She wouldn't have saved the city. You may have left us broken Terra, but you've come back to make us whole."
