Shellshocked!
Chapter 2 “Reborn”
.........
Terra expected the “transfer” to be somewhat painful, but she was surprised when no pain came. Instead, her whole body felt cool and extremely light. At first she feared she would float away and forever remain a spirit but Raven successfully moved her into her mind and she was engulfed in darkness.
Darkness was the last thing Terra remembered. One moment she felt this intense feeling heat and the next she didn’t know if she had her eyes closed from the vast darkness. Just as fast as everything started, it all suddenly stopped and Terra felt herself falling. She opened her mouth to scream but her voice was lost, her stomach was rising up to her throat. Terra feared she would forever fall.
An idea flashed through her head, she doubted she could use her powers inside Raven’s mind but it was better than doing nothing and continue to fall in this pit of darkness. Terra raised her arms and tried to summon any nearby rock but nothing came to her grasp. The speed of her fall began to increase which made Terra feel like she was going to be sick. Once again she opened her mouth and attempted to yell, only this time she was greatly relieved to hear the sound of her own voice.
Suddenly light blinded Terra and she felt her body painfully smack down onto something solid. Her whole body ached and even felt numb, she was afraid that she could be paralyzed.
You’re in Raven’s head, you can’t get injured.
Terra shook her head and slowly rose to her feet and inspected her new environment.
Where is this?
If this was Raven’s mind, then it creeped Terra to no ends. Terra found herself standing on a large rock in the middle of what looked like space. Around her there were other floating rocks supporting dead trees, and glowing red eyes watched her carefully from the branches. The blonde took a careful step forward to look over the edge of the rock she laid on top of, but once she reached the end of the rock another one appeared and connected to the one she was standing on.
Terra continued to step forward and smiled when more rocks continued to appear and connect and formed a path.
“Turn back.” A small, quiet, and childish voice whispered.
Terra’s heart jumped and she immediately turned around to face the source of the face, but saw nothing. Frowning, the blonde girl shrugged her shoulders and turned her attention back to the path.
Suddenly, a tiny black figure jumped down onto the ground in front of Terra’s feet.
“Turn back.” The tiny figure whispered. As it stepped closer to Terra, the better she could identify the figure, it was simply a small black bird. Except the strange thing about it was its four red eyes.
“Turn back.” Another bird whispered in a slower tone.
“Turn....back.” A third bird cried from on top of a dead tree that floated beside the path.
“What’s....this?” Terra asked herself and took a cautious step back as soon as numerous birds appeared on the path. “Raven? Is this some kind of joke?”
But Terra received no answer, except the continuous cries of “turn back” from the birds. Terra didn’t know if they were hostile or not but after witnessing Raven’s anger power trip, she knew better to stay cautious of anything that had four eyes that had any link to Raven.
Once Terra stepped onto the entrance rock the birds transformed from cute, harmless little birds into razor sharp teethed birds eager for their fresh meal.
“Raven?!” Terra cried out. Doubt was seeping into the former titan’s mind as she thought over her options.
She couldn’t use her powers, and she was on the edge of a rock with a bottomless pit surrounding her. The birds were too numerous for her to run through.
Just as Terra prepared to run through the swarm of birds, something on the far end of the path caught her eye. Squinting, Terra made out a cloaked figure standing in the shadows. If she didn’t know any better, she could see it was Raven. She stood at a far distance with her cloak draped around her with her hood up to cover her face.
“Raven!” Terra shouted with relief.
One of the four eyed birds suddenly flew on top of Terra’s shoulder and bit at her neck. Panic struck the blonde and she hastily clawed at the bird but as soon as she moved her hand, a chunk of the earth rose up and flew towards the attacking bird. Swiftly, Terra leapt out of the way, while nearly falling off the platform, and smiled. She still had her powers.
After one bird fell, another dozen hissed in fury and flew at Terra, but she was a step ahead and pulled up a wall of rock to protect her from the birds, in which they all crashed right into. A huge grin appeared on Terra’s face, it was so wonderful to be back. She could finally move, see, and best of all use her powers. Laughter escaped Terra’s lips as she continued to fight off each bird until no more dared to attack, she couldn’t believe how great it felt to be alive once again. Well, she was sort of alive.
“Raven.” Terra said again once she got to the end of the path and met up with the dark titan.
The blonde haired girl found herself giggling again with joy and was about to hug the life out of Raven when she noticed a difference with her former team mate. Raven’s cloak was red, instead of her infamous blue.
“What were those birds all about?” Terra inquired. “And...what’s with your change of color?”
The red cloaked Raven said nothing and stepped back from the blonde girl. Another thing Terra noticed was that she couldn’t see her eyes, usually her eyes and lower face was visible with her hood up.
“Raven?” Terra asked and raised an eyebrow. “Something wrong?”
Red Raven still did not reply and took another step back, Terra wasn’t completely sure but it sounded like she was growling.
Is she mad because I attacked those birds?
“Raven, if its about those birds I’m sorry but I panicked and they attacked me first and....” Terra paused. “I’m sorry, but...” Terra was suddenly engulfed in happiness. It finally hit her that she was free to roam around, sure it wasn’t in Gotham City but still she was finally out of her stone prison.
Terra felt her heart race and another large grin grew on her face. She truly owed Raven a lot, even if her mind didn’t start out friendly. The former titan laughed in joy and grabbed the red cloaked Raven in a friendly hug.
“I owe you so much for this, Raven.”
“Get away from me, traitor!” Red Raven yelled and shoved Terra violently on the floor.
The blonde girl grunted when she hit the ground and looked up at Raven with hurt in her eyes. Then she gasped, Raven had four eyes. Flashbacks of Terra and Raven’s battle flew in Terra’s mind and she remembered when she angered Raven. She had transformed into such a powerful witch she was actually afraid and thought Raven would kill her with just a blink of an eye.
“Twice you’ve used me for you selfish desires.” Raven growled dangerously. She reached down and picked up the thin girl by her arms and tossed her of the stone path.
Terra yelped in surprise but quickly “lifted” a rock and grabbed it. Stealthy, she stepped back on the path and her eyes grew wide in surprise at the sight before her. Red Raven was at a small hand to hand battle with another Raven that wore a green cloak.
“Eat this four eyes!” The green Raven shouted before kicking the red Raven in the gut and sent her to the floor.
Red Raven growled again but knew better than to attack any of the other positive emotions. Ever since that day they all combined powers red Raven knew better than to mess with any of them for now. Red Raven stood up and simply walked away before the green one would start another fight.
“Hoo-ah!” The green Raven shouted in joy. “Ten more points for me.”
Terra was about ready to collapse in confusion.
What’s going on here?!
“Who are you?” Green Raven asked suddenly, breaking Terra from her thoughts.
“Uh....Terra.” The blonde said slowly. “You don’t remember me?”
“Terra...” Green Raven repeated while she examined the girl. “Oh, you’re the traitor.”
“Traitor?” Terra asked in disbelief. “Is that all I am to you?”
“For me, yes.” Green Raven smiled. “Why are you in here anyway?”
“How can you not know? What’s going on? Why are there two Ravens?” asked Terra in confusion, just thinking about everything gave her a headache.
“Hey, hey, don’t throw all the questions at me. You should ask Smart if you’re so curious about everything.” Green Raven said.
“Who’s ‘Smart’?” the blonde titan asked. “Stop! Slow down, what’s going on?”
Green Raven rolled her eyes. Last time that green guy and robot were more aware of what was going on.
“You’re in my mind, remember?” A third voice announced from above Terra.
She glanced up but could only see the black sky. When she glanced back down to the green cloaked Raven, she was face to face with the original blue cloaked Raven.
“Huh?” Terra frowned. “Where did the green one go?”
Raven sighed. “The ‘green’ one is an emotion. Terra you’re in my mind, you’ll come across my emotions.”
“Ohhhh.” Terra replied. “Now its making sense. So I take it that the red one is hatred?”
“Anger.” Raven corrected. “You best stay away from that emotion.”
“How come?”
“Anger will do anything to gain control over my body.” Raven explained. “And I’m not going to lie to you, I hold a lot of anger towards you. So you best be far away from anger, I can’t guarantee your safety if you get too close.”
Terra nervously smiled. “Any other tips?”
Raven sighed again and kept her eyes closed for a bit. “Stay far away from my negative emotions.”
“Which are they?”
“Anger and sorrow.”
“Uhh...I know anger now, but what color is sorrow?” Terra asked.
“Purple I believe.” Raven confirmed. “Guess I better give you a tour.”
Terra smiled and quickly followed after Raven. It wasn’t going to be so easy adapting to this place.
