Terra arrived late at the Tower and Robin and the others had their hands full with Adonis so that was the reason she couldn't reach them during their fight. Of course, Robin became grumpy, hearing that Billy 'escaped' and Raven almost suspected that it was partially her fault and Terra excused herself before Beast Boy tried to cheer her up...but after that kiss, she couldn't even look him in the eyes anymore and drifted into a restless sleep.

And when she finally went to sleep, she was tormented further with a dream of the events that caused all this confusion. But luckily for her, the climax of the dream was interrupted by the crime alert and with relief, Terra and the others made their way towards a warehouse on the outskirts of the city and were forced to split up to take care of each villian (a band of robbers) individually.

Billy eventually made his way back to his own hideout; he was alone because him and his team do solo missions from time to time, mostly group, but solo sometimes. That was what he was doing tonight. But he was now back at the hideout, actually pretty exhausted with a range of emotions flowing through him. But damn did it all come crashing to him once he decided to call a quits for tonight and lay down. He was so confused but damn did he enjoy that kiss, and just... her . He enjoyed her already and he just met the chick. Something clicked when they started messing with each other, and he had no complaints with it. But of course, throughout the whole night, he couldn't get his mind off of it; what happened tonight and just her in general. On and off sleeping, and when he did sleep it was just her . Dammit. She may have got him hooked. Now what? What was he even supposed to do about this?

Terra was currently chasing one of the robbers around the building when he suddenly turned around, shooting from his gun he held suddenly in his hand and Terra managed to form a shield before getting hit. "Dude, that's not supposed to be in the wrong hands. I bet the police wants it back," she said smugly before knocking the villian out cold. She pulled out her communicator to tell Robin of her victory...when she had the feeling she wasn't alone.

And then she heard his voice - '...Rocky.'

She turned around, hoping that it wasn't really him...

But then again, part of her wanted it to be him.

He wasn't expecting really anything out of this walk, but he thought he just needed it overall, to clear his sleepy mind a bit. The duplicator left the team's hideout in just civilian clothes, not in his villain outfit, but again, he was just taking a walk and no one could identify him in civvies besides his teammates, so he was fine. The sun was just coming up; all night without sleep because of her on his mind. Dammit. He sighed to himself as he walked along the sidewalk, the city starting to come to life as people woke up and started their days; it was peaceful, he must admit.

Billy was drifting a bit, lost in thought, but of course he tuned right in when he heard gunshots in the distance; the hell was going on? The country boy looked around, seeing fighting in the far distance; the Titans?

Terra.

The gunshots were closer than the guys in the distance, so he looked around, following the struggling sounds. When he was searching, he heard something or well, someone behind him, quickly turned around just in time for him to block someone's punch. Who the hell was this jokester? He wasn't very good at physical contact, that was for sure, because the duplicator took him down in less than 2 seconds, dropping the guy to the ground beneath him and having him be knocked out. He let out a breathe, picking up the guy, who was one of the bandits, up and over his shoulder and carried him the few feet that he had to go... until he saw her, Terra.

"... Rocky." He called out, keeping the passed out guy over his shoulder. "Fancy seein' you here. Hurt at all?"

Hurt? Actually she felt some strange mix of relief and...warmth inside as soon as her eyes spotted the boy...and she instantly locked eyes with him.

"What are you doing here?" she asked with a curious brow, praying none of the others would see her with him.

She wasn't sure if they would recognize the hive member in such clothes but she would be sure they would poke holes into her with their questions...and that would only bring 'unwanted' memories. "Don't tell me you gave up crime? Who would be my training partner then?" she allowed herself to smirk a little, her curiosity getting the better of her.

Billy looked at her with a small, gentle smile when she finally noticed him and locked eyes with him. He looked over at the guy on his own shoulder, still unconscious before tossing him to the side then walking over towards her. "You wish." He smirked, running a hand through his hair, fixing it a bit. "Oh how ya wish I gave up on crime. It'd be one less thorn in ya side." He chuckled before crossing his arms. "I couldn't sleep ta be honest." 'Cause I keep thinkin' 'bout ya "I've just been up pretty much all night. Couldn't really sleep. Too many dreams... an' I see that ya got called on a mission huh?"

Terra looked in surprise. So he had trouble sleeping as well, huh? The girl mimicked his action, crossing her arms over her chest. "Aww, did the big, bad boy have nightmares? Maybe you gotta sleep in someone's bed tonight so you can get back to happy dreamland," she cooed mockingly...but that line was not so ineffective against her as not so bad thoughts of Billy deciding to spend the night with her ran through her mind and she bit her lip as more and more of the thoughts were making themselves obvious.

"Cut the cheesy romance and tell me why you're really here?" she said more seriously, her hands glowing again.

Maybe acting all angry might get those thoughts to stop that she suddenly felt the need to act out.

"Oh totally. That's just it. How didja know?" He said in a monotone voice, rolling his eyes in a playful way before looking back over at the unconscious guy. "Totally totally. Lemme just go share a bed with one of my teammates an' cry ta them 'bout all my struggles. Uh huh. I'll make sure ta do that." He said with a scoff-like laugh, looking back at her as she attempted to act all tough again; her hands glowed, and she said this next line in a more 'serious' voice. "Don't get all big girl tough on me, lil' one." He said with a chuckle, walking past her a bit and looking around, seeing the sun rising in the distance. "Literally toldja why I'm out here. Couldn't sleep. Decided ta take a walk ta clear my mind. Then I heard gunshots an' now I'm here. If I were really up ta no good, would I really be out in civilian clothes? No face mask, no shades, no nothin'? Uh huh. Don't think I'd be in a good place if I went out an' casually walked 'round in my red outfit." He let out another laugh, looking back at her; she was too damn pretty, and it was starting to haunt him. Haunt was not being meant in a bad way though. She was just too damn cute though, and he couldn't get over it.

"So you want to tell me you just stumbled here on accident?" she asked with a raised brow before letting the glow cease from her hands and dropping them to her sides.

Her eyes darted around for any sign of her friends and she now spoke in a softer tone. "You know, it's not safe for you to be here, even if it's just to clear your head."

The others could see them and then they might be in big trouble. Robin would make sure of that and Terra let out a chuckle at the possible scenario that played out in her mind before her communicator interrupted her.

Robin and the others had seemed to taken care of the guys as well but were now struggling with Plasmus. She was surprised to hear that Robin had something up in his sleeve when he told her about a serum that would 'take care' of the monster and she had to get back to the Tower to get it.

She shut off her device. "I'm not one for goodbyes but I gotta run," she said, running past him before floating on a rock towards her home.

Why was so sad about leaving him? Why couldn't she stop thinking about him?

She decided to stop all teasing when she entered the Tower and just be what she was supposed to be - a hero. And heros and villains don't mix well together.

"... I mean I literally did, like I actually did. I literally just took a walk an' conveniently ended up here." He shrugged, not even sure how to explain himself anymore than that. "Eh whatever. Bird boy can go suck it for all I care." He grumbled, only to be interrupted by her communicator, which in turn made her have to depart. He noticeable frowned a bit, but just nodded as she said this and took off. "... I guess bye then." He said softly with a sigh, watching her fly back to the Tower before he couldn't really see her anymore, then processed to let out another little sigh and heading back the way he came. This didn't help. In fact, this just made him think about her more, plus the fact that there would never be a chance in hell for him.

God, she made him feel so... confused... he didn't even know what was happening anymore. He just wanted to be with her again. That didn't seem likely though. Another day, maybe.

Terra retrieved the serum from Robin's room and as fast as she could hurried back to her team. Plasmus was taken out faster than she could have blinked and they silently made their way back to the Tower.

Terra awoke late at night, drenched in sweat and she cursed under her breath, once again being tormented by him. This had to stop! She couldn't let this keep going!

Deciding to face her problem head-on, she made her way out of the Tower, hoping to find the little nuisance that wouldn't leave her alone. Unfortunately it was not until the next morning that chances were likely as the crime alert rang through the Tower that she might see him again and she even ignored her fatigue from her restless sleep because of this and followed the others outside.

Time went by and every damn second he tried to sleep, it was just her . He's never felt anything like this before; was she even in the same boat? She seemed somewhat interested, in a small way, or maybe she wasn't... or maybe she just hid it well that it's a lot more than he thinks... it could literally be anything at this point! He has no idea. Maybe he should talk to her about it; but how could he when he hasn't seen in about two days now?

Well, coincidently, as he finally fell asleep with less than the usual complications he's been having, about ten minutes after, Gizmo pounded on his door, telling him to get ready for their planned heist; of course. The duplicator grumbled, not even wanting to get up at all. But he knew Jinx would have his head if he didn't go. Billy did though, getting all his fixings together before heading out to do his thing with his team as they planned; successful in doing so, until the Titans showed up.

His heart dropped into his stomach in nervousness as he scanned around, looking for the one person who actually mattered to his tired self right now. He did this as his teammates were about to defend themselves and attack the Titans. Billy went along with it, grouping up with them as he locked eyes with Terra who was a couple meters away from him.

He may have been tired, but he was never too tired to tease; he made a couple duplicates appear next to him as he made his way over towards her. "Hm. Fancy seein' you around here eh?"

There it was again - he was teasing her! "Really? I'm starting to think you follow me around. Don't tell me it's me you've been dreaming about?"

Terra suddenly glanced over to her team. Did she have to say it out loud? They could hear!

Her heart beat in her throat, seeing the changeling shooting a quick curious glance at her before she decided to change plans.

"I've...actually been dreaming about you too - about you being locked up," she smirked and floated on a hovering rock before shooting spears at him.

Yet, she slowly moved away from her team, little by little, trying to lure Billy away from the crowd.

She had to end this...in privacy and hoped he picked up on her hints and followed her.

The original Billy's face changed to one that was between shock and 'ah shit did she really say that. Did she really... just... say that'

"... what the hell are ya even sayin'." Billy said with him trying to cover up what she just said with his own confusion. But she then covered it up as well and backtracked. Good one.

He was now hit with some of those rock spears she threw at him the first time they met, a couple of them being dodged, a couple of them hitting the duplicates; boy he was just so friggen tired, he was off his game! Well, only get a couple hours of some sleep over the course of three days will make a person a bit uneasy.

The HIVE was busy dealing with the other Titans, while the duplicator was keeping his focus on Terra, who seemed to be purposely moving away from her teammates. Every time she moved, he would follow, but they made it look like they were actually fighting by throwing rocks or using multiples and so on. "'Dream 'bout me gettin' locked up', huh? Nice save, Rocky." He said with a sleepy smirk, now a good ways away from everyone else. "Wanted me all for y'self, sweetheart?"

Terra felt strange excitement run through her seeing him not only follow her but also help her not attract attention.

What a guy!

"I think I should be asking that you. I just came here to finish you off myself," she smirked. "So how about you drop the act and your shades with them. It's not like I'm hiding something from you."

What a lie!

She'd been hiding how she felt about him from the moment that kiss happened...and ever since she couldn't get enough!

"I got something important for you," she said seriously before walking up to him and pulling out her communicator.

She held it out to him, not regretting what she just did. "Don't let anyone find out!"

"Now is that a threat or a promise?" He smirked, giving her forehead a playful poke. "I know I know, ya think my face is gorgeous... but yknow I can't take this off when I'm out in public like this. Ain't gonna happen. Don't want Bird Boy lockin' me up if he sees me in normal clothes walkin' along the street 'cause he knows my face. Now if we were alone alone, that'd be a different story." He chuckled softly.

Oh how his sleepy self tried to flirt... oh how he tried. But in reality his heart was racing. Incredible how a person could make him feel like this, all giddy and whatnot. Though when she came up to him and said she had something for him, to be quite honest, he thought it was going to be another kiss... but it was still a good thing that she gave him; a communicator. His brows raised in shock as he looked at it, then looked at her. "... this mean you actually wanna keep talkin' an' dealin' with me?" He grinned.

"Well...I gotta know what my villian is up to, right?"

Ok...did she just say that? Oh to hell with it! She didn't care anymore.

But his words from before - she might know a way how to make them be alone. She pulled her hand away and spoke into the yellow device. "Robin? I gotta head back to the Tower for a moment. There's something I forgot. Yeah, yeah. I know," she chuckled and turned it off before handing it back to the villian.

She started moving past him, her heart hammering in her chest. "Just be quick. Robin can get suspicious easily."

What was she doing? Whatever it was, it was dangerous...and she liked it.

He let out a little laugh at her words. "Your villain, huh? That's adorable." He chuckled softly, but, at the same time, she took the communicator back and said this, and his brows furrowed a bit. "... ah okay. Lettin' him know that you'll be back just ta give y'self some time with me huh?" He grinned again. "Well someone wants ta be alone with me for a bit~" he teased. "Now now... clearly somethin's on your mind... what's up?" He sort of knew, but he was so damn curious what she was thinking.

"It's a surprise," she smirked as they moved further away from the fight scene. It didn't take long for Terra to arrive at the Tower and once she shut off the security system, she entered the common room before proceeding to her room. It wasn't very neat - next to Beast Boy, she was probably the messiest one out of the Titans. But right now, it didn't matter and she made sure to lock the door.

"So now may I take a peek at your real face? I still gotta identify the one who kidnapped me," she said, winking before moving closer to him and preparing to remove his shades, purposely doing it very slowly and making sure her hands brushed along the sides of his head.
