THIS IS THE FULL VERSION. Okay, it's not much, but it's more. And I have something fun planned, thanks to my ex-boyfriend and his well of useless knowledge he calls a mind...Lets just say, it involves Static Shock (yes, I can link those two!)

Sadly, I don't own these characters, so try not to sue me. Plus, I'm a college kid, I'm broke! This is based on the episode of Teen Titans after Terra sacrifices herself to save the Titans and the town. Read and review please!

Thank you for all the reviews on the teaser!

-Awakenings-

-Chapter 1- (full)

"You always had a choice!" Beast Boy shouted at me. He was raising his voice at me, it tore me up inside.

But Slade overpowered this and took control of me again. I attacked my friend...

That was long ago. I had overcome Slade's power and drew upon the Earth, my power source, and destroyed him. But for that, I spent what felt like an eternity encased in stone. Quietly I fought the damage Slade had done. My mind got over the pain and hurt of his abuse. I was finally free. Then, the rock crumbled and I fell onto the cool stone I had put there long ago. It was hardened magma. It was my prison. But now I was free. Free to be myself, free to love. Free to find the Titans. My vision took it's time correcting itself; I pulled bits of stone from my hair. When I could see, I saw that the cavern was essentially the same. I also saw piled of roses, blackened by age. However, there was a single rose, just beginning to turn. How long had I been imprisoned? Was it just a few days? It couldn't have been the roses would not blacken by then. Months? Probably not, there were too many roses for just a few months. My mind settled on years. As I stood up on shaking limbs, I tested my powers, lifting a few pebbles. That was still easy. I took a few steps, leaning heavily on the wall nearby. Instead of walking, I called upon a boulder to carry me to the outside.

Sunlight, something my body missed. I stood in the sun for I don't remember how long, absorbing it's life-giving heat, warming limbs frozen by stone. Eventually, I remembered what I had wanted to do. My memory led my body to the large T of long ago. It was still shining, the sun glinting off the windows. As the boulder took me to the tower, I pulled off what I could of Slade's controlling devices, throwing them angrily at the ground. Still, they sparked with stored energy, kept alive by my system. Or was it they keeping me alive?

That didn't matter now. I was alive, and I was going to be seeing the Teen Titans. I could apologize to them for my actions while Slade had control of me.

As I approached the tower, a familiar figure had her back towards me. She was taller, and her hair was pulled up into a tight knot on the back of her head. Instead of the beautiful two-piece, she wore a long, white dress. I called her name, my voice cracking. She turned in surprise, stared, and then dropped to her knees.

"We all thought you were never coming back." She said, tears forming.

I embraced Starfire's shoulders, "I'm back, my friend."

"It is so good to see you, Terra." She smiled, using me to help her stand.

"It's good to see you, too, Star. Why the white dress?" I asked.

"Don't you remember?" She asked in return, looking slightly confused. "It is the day you saved us all."

I had to look shocked. I had awoken on the day that I had defeated Slade. But I still didn't know how many years had passed.

"How long ago was that?" I pressed. Star had turned to return inside.

"Three years to this day." She said. "But come now, let us go inside. I am sure everyone will be happy to see you."

I let the boulder drop as we entered the dimly lit tower. Star led me past various rooms to the entertainment room where Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Robin were thoroughly enjoying a game of beating each other and eating as many chips as possible.

"We promised each other to keep this day happy." Star smiled at me. "I had to go outside and say a prayer for you because I could not hide my sadness."

"Guys!" A familiar, albeit lower, voice shouted. "Terra's gone! She's..."

I stepped forward. "Right behind you."

"Terra!" Beast Boy shouted, tackling me in a hug. "You're alive! We were so worried! What...how?"

"Beast Boy! Good to see you! Now breathe and try a real sentence." I smiled, hugging him tightly, planting a small kiss upon his cheek.

"Welcome home, Terra. We knew you would survive." Robin said, smiling.

Everyone had grown up so much. They were older, and I still looked so young. The only person who was missing was...

"Where's Raven?" I asked, looking around.
