Going Green, Chapter Three: A Teen Titans Fanfic
Chapter Three
The sun was beginning to set again as Beast Boy tentatively
knocked on Terra's door.
"Go away!" he heard her voice shout from the other side.
"Terra, is there anything I can do to help?" he asked, his
voice cracking with anxiety.
For a moment, there was silence, and then the door hissed
open. Before Beast Boy could get out of
the way, Terra's hand whipped out and slapped him on the side of the face. He stumbled from the impact, but managed to
stay on his feet. The girl knew how to
hit hard...
"How can you still bring yourself to speak to me after what
you did?" Terra demanded, glaring at the green Titan with all the hatred she
could muster. Her newly green face was
flushed even darker green with her anger.
Even her eyes had turned from their normal brown to a bright lime green. Beast Boy quickly noticed that both of her
hands had turned green, and half of her midriff.
"Terra, I'm sorry!" Beast Boy insisted, clasping his hands
together in a desperate plea. "I have no
idea what happened, but I'm sorry! Really,
I am!"
Terra advanced on Beast Boy, and he backed away from her, "I
don't care how sorry you are. I want you
to fix me- NOW!"
"Terra, I don't even know how this happened," Beast Boy
insisted, his back hitting the wall, "If there was anything I could do, I
would. I swear, I would! But there isn't, so I want to help you with
whatever else you want."
"I don't want to hear it!" Terra roared. Her arm morphed into that of a bear, and she
lashed out at him. Beast Boy immediately
shrank down into a mouse's body, and Terra missed him, her razor sharp claws slicing
four rows of deep cuts into the wall.
Beast Boy scurried behind her and morphed back into his
human shape, "Terra, listen to me! I
know what you're going through." He
spread his arms out in emphasis, "You're developing new powers, and you don't
know how to use them. I do, and I can
teach you!"
"I don't want to learn!" Terra said, pointing at him with
her remaining human arm. "I want to be
turned back!" She was powerless to stop
herself as she watched her left arm stretch out into an octopus' tentacle.
"But what if we can't do that?" Beast Boy asked. He gritted his teeth, and his eyes watered,
"You might be stuck like this."
Terra froze, staring at Beast Boy. Slowly, her arms returned to normal, and she
collapsed to her knees in tears.
Cautiously, Beast Boy dared to approach her.
"Terra, I'm sorry," he whispered, kneeling down next to
her. "I am so, so sorry!"
"I hate you," she replied, her voice ragged with grief.
Beast Boy sighed in resignation, "I don't blame you. But I promise to teach you everything you
need to know about all this. I won't let
you down again, Terra."
