Terra drummed her No. 2 pencil on the cover of her Algebra I book and stared at the clock, willing it to move faster. She could move earth but she couldn't force the thick plastic minute hand to go toward the numeral 12 any faster than it wanted. Time went slowly in math, almost as if Terra were stuck in the slowest warp ever. When the bell did finally ring she shot the board a final look to make sure she'd written down the homework assignment properly before running out the door. Her last class of the day was also the most annoying one. The math homework she'd been assigned would take at least two hours of what would have been an otherwise perfect afternoon.
Walking outside the large double doors that were hung in the entrance to the high school, Terra squinted at the sunlight and breathed in the fresh air. It was a pretty day. Too pretty to be stuck indoors doing homework. Of course being stuck indoors inside a government orphanage doing homework was even worse. She went through the gates, head in her book, and flipped through it to see how difficult the homework looked. It wasn't that bad. Propping herself up against a tree across the street from her school, Terra tried to block out the people talking around her to estimate how long it would take to do each problem. While she would welcome any distractions at the moment, such as the voices of her friends, it would definitely take away from her schoolwork.

Michael grayson son to starfire and robin from the future was currently taking his daily potorl. for what you ask? to find Slade of course. he had escaped his grasp last time but that was a fluke he would not let that happen again. Michael was currently looking around as he had to keep his eyes on both sides of the city slade could be anywhere. Slade had a nac for poping up out of no where that was for sure. he than looked to a tree where he saw a familiar face that had died in his time it couldnt be? could it.
"Tera?" Michael wondered to himself as he landed he didnt want to freak her out so he hid behind a tree that was near her and looked from the shadows he saw her face. "It is her!" Michael relised saying that to himself but there was something diffrant about tera in this time than the tera in his time but he just couldnt put his finger on it what was the diffrance. sigh man this was gonna eat at him for a while but what he didnt relise was... OOC:The was.... was ment for you to pick up from XD |

"What do you want, you tool?" Terra snapped, shutting her book with a thud, "I'm not blind."
She stalked toward the tree, glaring at the person lurking in the shadows. Slade had taught her well, as much as she hated to admit it, and Terra now had an unconscious awareness about herself and her surroundings wherever she went. It wasn't anything supernatural; she merely kept her senses on high alert even when the situation didn't seem do demand it. She felt same going up to whoever was staring at her. After all, it was broad daylight right across the street from her school. Some people had approached her and asked if she was indeed the girl who had been with Slade, but she mostly managed to shake them off.
"May I help you with something?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips and narrowing her eyes at the lurker, who looked strangely familiar and yet not familiar at the same time. Maybe he was the brother of one of her classmates or something.

Michael jumped at Tera's yell nearly scared her out of her skin. "Son of klorblag!" He said to himself as he was coming out of his shock before turning to see tera had seen him the whole time. "Note to self don't piss tera off" Michael said making a mental note to himself as that was the best advice he could give himself. as Tera was extremely scary when she was pissed of Michael would know he managed to due that on more than one occasions in his time.he sighed as he re gained his composure and looked at her and began to speak.
"sorry about that but are you tera? I belive you teamed with my Father once Dick Grayson also know as Robin and my Mother Princess Konrid also know as Starfire?" Michael asked he had to be sure this was really the Tera he thought it was if she wasn't it could get very awkward.and that was puting it nicely as he could put it. He smiled as he crossed his arms awaiting a reply from her he had a feeling this was her he just hoped to whatever the Tamarainen god was he wasnt wrong. |

"No," Terra replied flatly, folding her arms, "I'm not Terra. I get that a lot though, don't beat yourself up."
She looked calm but on the inside she was hyperventilating. Who was this kid, was he crazy? Obviously Robin and Starfire didn't have a kid, they were just kids themselves, like her!
"Who did you say you were?" She asked skeptically, raising one eyebrow, "I could have sworn you said you were Robin and Starfire's kid...but they're our age, aren't they?"
Crazy cuckoo boy was interesting, even if he wasn't completely sane. However, he knew who she was. Maybe he was one of those rabid fanboys or something. That would probably explain it. Oh well. The police station was right around the corner if she needed to fight him off.

Michael chuckled at the comment of them still being kids. "Boy if i haven't heard that one for like the 18th millionth time today" Michael said chuckling he had a feeling that she was hiding who she was probably due to what Slade did to her in the past but that was fine as long as he relised who she was that's all that matters.Michael shook his head before opening his mouth to reply to tera.she was alive in this time so that was good things where looking better if there was a chance to save the future Michael would not rest until it was found.
"the name Is Michael "Konrid" Grayson Im their son from the future i know its hard to belive me when i say its true im here for a purpouse but i,l get into that latter" Michael explained waiting for a reply from the earth teen titan. |

"Well, nice to meet you, insane boy," she replied, stuffing her Algebra book in her backpack, "There's an insane asylum around the corner if you need your meds."
There was a feeling in the pit of her gut that let Terra know she was wrong. He looked like the perfect blend of Starfire and Robin's characteristics. However, that was probably just a happy coincidence. Still, she couldn't help but be a tiny bit interested.
"Prove it," Terra said finally, "Prove you're from the future."

Michael chuckled and nodded. "Very well if you insisted but i must warn you the images your about to see may be hard to watch first" Michael said and pulled out a locket and put in tera's hand. "If you open that you will see a picture of the whole team includeing you but there will a titan you may not reconise in the picture that would be me"
Michael said before opening his backpack as a robot spider camra came crawling out and on to his sholder. "when your done looking at it let me know and i will show you the recording of my time....that lives in a constant nightmare" Michael said waiting for a reply. OOC:lolz tera is suborn XD |

Terra stared down at the locket. It was like that movie "The Matrix", where you had the choice to take either the red or the blue pill. Gain knowledge or live in ignorant bliss forever.
"That's...totally not me," Terra said lamely, staring down at the picture of a slightly older version of herself, "And this picture is totally photoshopped. I can tell."
She snapped the locket shut and shoved it back at him. Terra wasn't the mood today to grapple with the concept of dystopian futures and deep psychological concepts. For god's sake she just wanted to finish her homework.

Michael sighed and chuckled before speaking. "ok tera you can drop the act im not beast boy you know" Michael said before turning to her as the spider camra went on her head as it looked around keeping its eye out for slade. "I dont know how you have fooled Cyborg Beast boy Raven and My parents but im not stupid tera so drop the act" Michael said trying to stay as calm as possible.
"I have not lived though a living nightmare to you call me liar tera ok i know what i have been though" Michael said keeping a calm voice not to scare her. Of course that was hard for him to keep a calm vocie as he was half-tamerianen. |

"Yeah? Ask me how much I care," she snapped, "At least you have parents. I'm living in a friggin' orphanage, I'm required to go to this stupid elitist prep school. And I have homework to do!"
She whirled away from him, no matter how difficult it was. Terra could feel her temper flaring up, mostly out of anxiety. But he'd lost her when he said that his life was a "living nightmare". What a load of crap. Real people didn't talk that way, for God's sake. Talk about melodrama.
"I'll be sure to tell Slade you stopped by!" She said tauntingly, flinging the words back behind her as she started walking the other way.
A few steps in, she realized that was probably a horrible idea. For one thing, it had outed her as the real Terra. Only a long, drawn-out excuse about how she read about Slade/Terra in the newspaper could convince someone that she wasn't. Also, if this was Starfire and Robin's son, he was probably super strong, and she might get a cosmic bitch-slap to the back of the head. Great.

Michael s eyes twitched for a moment he was having more and more trouble keeping his anger under control. tera had always been stubborn but man this was a whole new level. gese was she trying to piss him off? oh boy anyways he took a few deep breaths before flying over infront of tera before speaking.
"Ok you are lucky i made a promise to beast boy in my time not to hurt you now im gonna make this short and sweet. One this picture WAS NOT photoshoped. 2 If you are not tera how on Earth or Tamerian could you know about slade. and 3 you think its bad you dont have parents? try seeing them beaten to death right in front of your god dam eyes!" Michael had yelled the last part as he was pissed Tera thought he had no idea what she was going though. |

Terra paused. She didn't have parents. She'd never even seen a picture of them. As a result she really didn't have any emotional ties to them and it was easy for her to just dismiss them; to brush them off as if they never existed. To her they really didn't.
"Fine," she grumbled, folding her arms in front of her chest, "You have my attention. Just lower your voice for godssake."
Terra stood still and glanced around her. A few people in the area were starting to stare. At least they would be if they had been standing still long enough, but at this hour most of the school kids were just in a hurry to get home, and simply shooting annoyed looks at Terra and her strange companion.
"How'd your parents die? She asked, not sure she wanted to know the answer.

Michael let her go lowering his voice now that he had her attention he sighed before looking up at the sky before he began to talk. "It was a few years ago i had just had my 13th birthday when it happened." Michael started to explain as he flashed back to the day that his teen hood went to hell.
"Slade arived at titans tower with an army of Minions we where able to fend of his minions but thats when hell became reality i dont know how but somehow slade had gaine super strength likes of with the titans had never seen before" Michael contiued the pain was alot to bare but still he contiued. "One by one right infront of my eyes he beat down the titans to death first My Father Robin than my Mother starfire" Michael contiued as he looked at tera.
"followed by you tera. than Beast Boy Than Cyborg and lastley raven till i was the only one left" Michael explained as he lowered his head from looking up in the sky. "I confronted the mad man but i couldnt even put a dent in him" Michael said tightening his fists. "Yet he left me alive! was he toying with me?!" Michael exclaimed waiting for tera's response. |

Terra narrowed her eyes. That was impossible. He'd died when she pushed him into the lava, right? Granted, it was an accident. She hadn't meant to kill him, just get him off of her. But he'd definitely died.
"That's...impossible," she said, shaking her head, "I killed him myself. I watched him die. It was two years ago. How could he be alive in the future?"
Her blue eyes flickered worriedly over the boy's face. Maybe she should have talked to the Titans when they wanted to. A lot could have happened the two years she was away, but Terra was oblivious to any of it. She'd woken up in a hospital and been deemed a ward of the state. Terra slept with one eye open and was ten times more paranoid than she'd ever been, but that didn't mean that she thought Slade himself was out to get her.
"Look," she said with a heavy sigh, tiredly rubbing her eyes with one hand, "Um...okay. If he is somehow miraculously alive in the future he probably just left you alive because you're a kid. From what I've seen Slade doesn't kill children. It's not his thing."
