[The messages appears late at night, some chosen may not get it till the morning if they go to bed at normal hours]

Terra's gone.

If anyone needs anything...ask Rita.

[Because he's heading from the Hospital to the entrance to town, walking with his head down, his crest of hope gripped tightly in his fist]

[Tony's never been one for sleeping regular hours let alone sleeping in general, so he notices the text while going over some of his own sketches.]

"Anything" isn't really specific.

She's pretty smart, she'll figure out how to help with whatever people need. And if not she's got Chili with her too.

For like...if people need hugs or something.

Like one of those missing people support groups. Gone where, by the way?

Home.

Back to her world. Her life.

A life that I wasn't a part of.

[At first Tony starts to write 'What, how did she get home were you there at the time? What did she use?' then he realised even for him that's a bit callous.]

Quick question. You're what, 14?

Dude harsh. 16.

I'm texting you, all I have to go on is how you're talking here.

Point made. Sorry I have a squeaky voice. People always think I'm younger then I am.

Isn't that normal for 16? I remember it being normal.

Maybe but that doesn't make it any easier to choke down when you're supposed to be a hero.

You're a hero?

[As you can tell, Tony is oh so very talkative in text messages.]

I was yeah. I could turn into any animal with like...just a thought.

Got trained by the Doom Patrol, later joined the Teen Titans. We've saved the world like...a bunch of times. And the universe.

Then I came here and went from hero to zero.

So you're a mutant then?

As for the hero to zero, seems to be something going around.

Eh...sure let's go with that. I wasn't born this way I picked it up through a disease and my parents going all genetic super scientist on me.

I've tried really hard dude. I've fought and trained with the Digimon and everything but the best thing in my life here just got sent home. And she won't even remember me when I get there.

Yeah, people leave all the time. It's not as big a deal as you think.

It is to me.

This is the third time I've lost her. Three strikes, I'm out.

Probably going to regret this.

How about the first two times? What happened?

Alright, sure why not?

First Strike. Met the girl, found out she has powers she can't control. She thinks I betrayed her by telling the rest of our team and runs off. A really bad dude found her and helped her control her powers. He used her, abused her, made her do things she'd never forgive herself for.

And I couldn't save her.

In the end she did the right thing, saved the city and gave her life to do it.

Strike two.

I found her, alive and well and going to school. But she didn't know who I was, had no memory of anything we'd gone through together.

I tried everything to jog her memory, tried to get her to like me again. Nothing. She just wanted to be left alone.

Strike three.

We both wind up here. We talk things out, we fix everything. We date, we kiss.

I love her.

And then this place...

Look at that, I was right.

I don't think two counts. and really, I wouldn't count three. Due to being in a completely different world. Did she choose to leave or did it just happen?

Does it matter?

She was sent home, and when people go home they don't remember anything that happened here. So she'll go back to living her life and wanting nothing to do with me.

Look, kid

Three strikes and out only counts if the person leaves because of you, not saving the world or bring returned to their dimension

Trust me on this

And you're some kind of expert?

A non-practicing one, I guess

Doesn't change the fact that she was the best thing about this world. Even without my powers, without any of my friends or family, around her I could still feel amazing.

She was funny, and smart, smarter then me that's for sure. And so pretty especially when the sun was setting.

And she's gone man.

I had something like that before I showed up here

But suck it up, the definition of a hero is about being awesome.

Re: [Text] License to drive, no car.

[Text] Now there's an experience Tony's never had.

Re: [Text] The only license Beastboy has that gets any use is on a dog collar :P

[Text] I feel I laughed at that louder than I should have.

Re: [Text] Then my work here is done <3
