Rock 5 [Video]
[First, it's just...Terra, huffing out a breath.] Okay. Look, I know some of you probably saw...Beastboy's memory, from the other day. So I wanted to set some things straight, about--
[A flicker of a memory starts up. It's too late, Terra. An orange and black room, the color reminiscent of lava.]
You have had doubts in the past...made mistakes. But all that is behind you, isn't it?
[The man speaking is in two-tone orange and black armor, such that it conceals his face. He's speaking to Terra, in gray armor of her own.]
Yes.
You belong to me now, don't you?
I do.
From this day forward, will you serve me, and me only?
I will.
Will you obey my every command?
I will.
Will you fight at my side forever?
[He hands her a crooked S emblem. She attaches it to the front of her armor.]
I will.
And will you destroy the Teen Titans?
...I thought you'd never ask.
[Terra's face, which has been until now impassive, twists into a cruel, vicious smirk.
The memory statics out, into another. This time, the scene is a city, and it's deserted. Robots march through it; it looks like it was conquered. Over the city, a voice filters through a communicator, the same from the man before.]
A world without Titans. I was beginning to think I'd never see the day. But at long last, the city is ours. And victory is mine. Fine work, apprentice. You have made me very proud.
[Floating above the city on a rock platform is Terra, her face blank and her voice cold.] Thanks. It was fun.
[But the memory from there fades. Into her laughing, with a group of teenagers, one of them being Beastboy, outside a pizza place. Looks like Beastboy lost a competition of some sort, and everyone is enjoying themselves--
Static back to before. Terra, on her platform, where she was in that memory, but no others. It's dark once more.] Section five is secure. Pretty quiet up here since all the people cleared out.
Get used to it, my dear. This city is only the first of many.
I know.
[So it continues. With the conquered city, with Terra fighting a magician-like villain alongside the kids from before, being a hero, and enjoying it. Walking with Beastboy and laughing, except ultimately the memory always goes back to her in that deserted city.]
Well, we did it. They're really gone.
[It flickers out, back to Terra's face, horrified and shocked.]
I-I. I.
[The feed cuts.]

I should've come clean about everything at the start. I should've told them, I shouldn't have... I'm notta hero, don't know why I was tryin' to be.
Re: [Audio] [Filtered]
You are a hero! When it counted, when it was all on the line you were ready to make the ultimate sacrifice to save everyone!
And look at all the good you've been able to do here. You've been on more missions then I have.

...that wasn't meant to sound stalkerish I swear.
Anyway even if we get our powers back I can help you control yours. If I can learn to control Raven's powers we can control yours.

Guess if I can get by on that...
Re: [Audio] [Filtered]

I've tried. I can't forgive myself for...all that. Everything I did.
Re: [Audio] [Filtered]
Together.
