The titans were in their temporary home planning how to find Slade and more importantly how to find Starfire.
"We have to find Starfire." Robin said as he slammed his fist on the table.
"Calm down man, we'll find her. All we need is a plan." Cyborg said reassuringly.
"I should have followed them!" Robin yelled in frustration.
"Dude calm down." Beastboy said.
"I don't understand why Slade took her! She didn't do anything to him! " Robin exclaimed.
"Maybe this is all a plot to make you all crazy." Beastboy said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Robin asked.
"Well... since you care about Star more than any of us... it would make sense for Slade to abduct her." Beastboy said.
"Who ever said I cared more about Starfire than any of you?"
"Well man, it's kind of obvious." Cyborg said.
"I would be just like this if it was anyone of you who was captured." Robin protested.
"If you say so." Said Speedy.
"Anyway back to finding Starfire. Do we have any possible idea of where she could be?" asked Robin more calmly now. The other titans shook their heads in response.
Suddenly the alarm went off and a map of the city came up. There was a big red dot in the middle.
"Earthquake, a big one, big enough to wipe out the city." Raven said. The titans left for the city however once they got on lands they could feel the shaking. The titans continued to look for Terra whom they suspected did this. They were tight, Terra was causing it but not in the way they may have thought. Terra was in the air on a rock with her hands on her head. Her eyes were glowing bright yellow. It was as if she was doing this unintentionally.
"TERRA" cried Beastboy as he turned into a bird and flew towards her. Before he could reach her rocks formed a sphere around her to hide her from the outside. Beastboy pecked frantically at the hard rock. It didn't phase it in the least. Beastboy then turned into pterodactyl and clawed at the rock with his feet.
Speedy readied an energy arrow and aimed for the rock. He fired the arrow hard at the rock. It hit the rock and to everyone's surprise nothing happened. In an instance the force the earthquake went up sharply. Everyone stumbled and fell to the ground. A few more seconds of this and the whole town would fall apart. Before that could happen everything stopped and grew quiet. The rocks surrounding Terra fell to the ground to reveal her lying on the rock unconscious. The tock lowered to the ground and the titans walked up to Terra. They decided to take her back to the underground place. Although Robin wanted to look for Starfire the other titans insisted that they should take Terra back first.
When they got back they laid Terra on a bed and waited for her to awaken. When she did she was surprised to find herself surrounded by the titans.
"What am I doing here?" she asked as she tried to get up but found she was bound by chains. She was about to use her powers but Hot spot put a fireball in his hand ready to stop her.
"Where's Starfire?" asked Robin.
"Why should I tell you?" Terra scowled.
"...Because if you don't I'll..." Beastboy interrupted Robin from finishing.
"Terra why are you working for Slade?" he asked.
"I'm not working for you." Terra said.
"Terra, for the last time I'M NOT SLADE"
"Than who are you?"
"I'm Beastboy the 'best friend you ever had'."
"You're not Beastboy, Beastboy was my friend, my true friend."
"Then if he isn't Beastboy, then who is? Why don't you answer that." Raven said.
"..." Terra couldn't answer. She didn't know Beastboy was.
"Why do you believe Slade over us?" Robin asked. Instead of answering Terra asked another question.
"If he's not Slade than who is?"
"The man with the mask, the man you think is your friend." Cyborg said.
"No you're lying, that person came and set me free from the statue I was trapped in!" Terra yelled as her eyes glowed yellow and a boulder from behind Hot spot slammed into him. Then rocks shaped like swords cut the chains. Terra concentrated and then the room started shaking.
"Terra stop, you'll cause a cave in." Beastboy yelled.
"Then let there be a cave in." she said emotionlessly.
Rocks started to fall from the roof as Terra grew angrier.
"Stop her." Robin said as he threw freeze disks at Terra. Rocks came up from the ground and took the blows of the disks. Cyborg fired his sonic cannon, which did hit her but didn't stop her. Raven used her powers to throw the bed at her, which slammed her into the wall. The bed fell to the ground but Terra was basically imbedded in the wall. Her face was bleeding a lot.
This time when she awoke it was only Raven with her. they were at the beach while no one was there. This time she wasn't bound to anything. She had some band-aids over her face that covered her wounds.
"You're finally awake." Raven said. Terra was about to fly away on a rock when Raven stopped her.
"Terra wait. If you want to leave than leave but first let me say something to you." Raven said.
"Fine, what do you want to say?" Terra asked.
"I know why you don't trust us. You wanted to forget." Raven began.
"You didn't want to remember how you betrayed us and how you tried to destroy us. You felt to badly about yourself. You thought of yourself as a criminal and a traitor while Slade was controlling you with the suit. So you thought of a way to forget. You meant to trigger the volcano knowing you could stop it. When we all left you stopped the volcano and before you turned to stone you did your beast to forget all that you could. When you turned to stone your mind granted your wish. Somehow you knew that turning to stone would get you to forget what you wanted. You also knew you would be able to brake out of the stone. There was one thing that you didn't expect... you didn't expect to have little visions of the past. I know that you are starting to remember more things now but I'm sure you still don't remember us the way you did before. In fact you may not even know what I'm talking about. Am I right?" Raven asked.
"Yup you're right. I have no idea what you're talking about... but I would like to know how you came up with all this." Terra hadn't told the complete truth. She did remember some things but sadly still not anything with the titans.
"Simple, I read your mind. Our minds can never truly forget something. No matter how hard we try the memory is stored somewhere in our heads. There is one more thing though. For some reason you don't believe we are your friends. But answer this... if we aren't your friends, why did we nurse you back to health? You were in pretty bad shape when that bed hit you. I reduced your injury however to a few cuts." Raven said. Terra had wondered about that too. She touched the band-aids on her head and thought.
"..." Terra was speechless again.
"Terra you can leave now if you want to... or you can come back with me. It's your choice." Raven said. Raven could tell Terra wanted to stay with the titans but she still didn't know.
"Sorry but I can't." Terra said.
"That's fine Terra. Next time I see you I guess we'll be enemies again." Raven said with disappointment in her voice. She turned and started to fly away. Terra stayed the beach for about thirty seconds and then flew to catch up with Raven.
"Raven... I changed my mind... I want to go back with you." Terra said. Raven smiled as the two of them went back to meet the other titans.
Slade was in his HQ. He had heard the whole conversation through a speaker on Terra. Starfire was in a cage behind him. She was unconscious.
"Very good Terra. Just like before." He said.
