Aftermath: A Teen Titan Story

TERRA

I awoke to a cold breeze to find myself in a dark cave. I realize that I was still wearing my armor from long ago, but as I stood up, I have found a plaque placed in a stone. "TERRA A TEEN TITAN A TRUE FRIEND," it read with a pile of dead roses lying on top. What has happened after all this time? I quickly found my way out into the cool summer night. Jump City as I remember it with the beautiful view from the canyon. But the tower was one sight I wish I could not see, especially for what I did to the Titans. But it didn't matter to me right now as my instincts told me to find some help. I quickly ran from the canyon to find the nearest road to at least back to the city. "I'm back from the dead." I thought to myself as I made my way to the road, but also do the Titans still remember me for the true friend as I really was or as an enemy from the start.

It must have been about 15 minutes until found the road back to Jump City, but I must have been still frightened and confused from this resurrection when a car came speeding towards me as it blinded me in the headlights. Quickly thinking, I pulled up a wall in front of me. The car quickly came to a stop as the wheels screeched on the asphalt and the car swerved behind the wall. I was still heavily breathing when the car made its stop and the driver emerged from the vehicle. It was a tall man, who looked about to be in his mid-40's, and was wearing a casual shirt and jeans. I was expecting him to look enraged about me nearly killing him, but he instead shown a face of confusion and worry. "Hey!" He called out to me as he came a little closer, "Are you okay?" I must have freaked out or something as I quickly sprinted away from the car to a nearby canyon leaving the man in the dust. However, I could tell that he was chasing after me as he continued to call to me. "Hey, wait! I didn't mean to scare you." I quickly looked back to get a better look at the guy, who now showed a concerned and frightened look on his face. But I didn't pay attention on where I was running as slid off a small cliff when trying to make a turn and I plummeted to the ground screaming in terror. I laid there staring up at the sky, but everything started to become to blurry and I began to taste warm blood in my mouth. Everything became more and more silent as I began to shut my eyes. However, I could still make out a figure running towards me until everything went completely black. It almost felt as if I was resurrected for nothing as this was where I would die. I didn't deserve a second chance anyway. Why would anyone forgive me after I attempted to murder them all?
