R And R 8

Ch. 8: Ready To Rock!

Terra turns to see the demoness, who stands over the main computer that was connect to the Tower main screen. "Mammoth's attacking downtown, Johnny Rancid's cause trouble on the east side, and Adonis is making a mess of things as southern beach." Terra took a moment to memorize all the locations, hoping that she'd be sent to the beach scene. Nightwing nods at the information, instantly formulating a plan.

"Beast Boy, you head downtown and keep Mammoth busy until Raven can back you up. While she, Terra, and I get geared up, I want you to tell Cyborg to go handle Adonis at the beach where Terra will him assist and Star to pursue after Johnny, but keep her distance from that scuzz bucket."  

Beast Boy had to comment at Nightwing's unnecessary description of Johnny. "You really do have issue with him ever since the Larry thing, don't you, Rob?" Terra looked to Nightwing and Raven as they cringed at a memory she didn't have.

"Who's-" Nightwing clasped the blonde's mouth with his scarred hand, eyes darting around the room. "Beast Boy already said it more than enough. Let's just say he's someone you should be glad you never met. Now before I forget: Titans Together!" Even though four out of the six were present, there seemed to be a change in the room. A glint of excitement was in both Terra and BB's eyes and a sense of duty in Raven's as they nodded to their leader.

They all raced out of the room, Beast Boy heading to the garage where he was most likely to their mechanical friend and quickly contact Starfire, and the rest rushing to get their uniforms.

Quickly sliding her door open, Terra halts in her tracks. Lying on her bed was her new uniform: The top was a dark brown with a symbol (Terra assumed that one would be placed after they decided a codename), the shorts a darker beige than her old ones with a black belt, fingerless golden gloved. Terra smirk at what lay a top everything:  a Robin-like mask. Not hesitating a moment more, she quickly throws it on. Wondering how Robin exactly knew her sizes, she looks into the closest mirror for a second, laughing to herself. "The guys were right: the mask does make me feel cooler."

Minutes later, Terra arrived in the Titan's garage, where Robin was just then throwing a leg over his motorcycle's saddle. "Hey, would you look at that! You were right Rae the mask does make her look cool." He chuckled to his sister, as he slipped on his helmet. Raven, whom had been waiting for the blonde to arrive, simply crossed her arms and rolled hers, a tiny smile. And then Raven shot out her arms in Terra's direction. "You might feel a little chill…" The empath warned as her hands lit up with a black glow.

Before Terra could object to Raven's decision of teleportation, her body was eclipsed. Raven had been right-though it was a light, it felt cold around Terra's body. Within an instant, she opened her eyes to find Cyborg before her, matching strengths with her current opponent!  Terra closed her eyes, as she focused on the beach surface below her feet.

When she opened them again, she was rising out of the ground with what seemed like reversed quicksand. Terra smirked to herself as she locked onto her opponents back. She crossed her arms in an X fashion, the sand at Adonis's ankles creeping around them. Thrusting her golden lit hands to her side, Terra braced her footing to pull the heavily armored thug into the sand.

Cyborg, who had seen the blond out of the corner of his eye, jumped backwards a couple feet. Adonis with a confused look on his face-- was he…shrinking? Before he could figure out what was happening, the villain was already tightly packed underneath the sand. "Remind me to never face you head on, Roxy."  The mechanical man whistled low, as now Adonis was just a submerged head.

Terra shook her head, flicking her to reveal the rest of Adonis armor locked in a prison of sand. "I think you should leave the horrible puns to Rob- or at least BB," She replied, after leaning against their restrained opponent. Cyborg let out small chuckle, putting a hand to his heart chamber, "Ouch, what a sting. Was it really that bad?"

Before she could respond, Adonis hand ripped through the prison and wrapped around Terra's small frame. Chucking her behind him through the air and breaking his containment in one go, he cried out in anger: "I am ADONIS! I won't be defeated by some puny Titan and his ditsy backup!"

Only two words resonated with the Titans from this declaration. "Puny?" Cyborg's face was shadowed as he cracked his neck and knuckles, his right eye glaring red. Terra pushed herself up off the ground, a similar shadow on her face and glowing right eye, "Oh I'll show you ditzy, you muscle-bound idiot."

"Now as much as I wouldn't mind see you whoop this guy's ass, if the records are true about your Raven-worthy anger, then I'll just take it from here." A voice said, causing the blonde to look up to her right. Terra took the hand that was offered to her by the blue clad boy beside her. The boy was her age, about BB's height with shoulder length black hair and onyx colored eyes. His suit was blue and scaled, and complexion that of a tanned Asian.

Rolling out her wrist slowly, Terra answered his offer. "Thanks for the offer, handsome, but I'm not some little girl." "Never said you were," "Then why are looking down at me?"  The boy chuckles, "Well you are pretty and short."

Terra flushed, both embarrassed from the compliment and angered from the observation of her height! "S-shut up! I am not short….just vertically challenged…." The boy smirked as he turned out of his fighting stance to face the girl, looking down at her a bit from the height difference. "You were saying?" Terra crossed her arms and pouted.

While this little argument was going on, Adonis had started a charge toward the two heroes!  Two yellow flashes zipped in between the duo, blasting the charge villain in the chest with enough force to cause him to stumble backwards. "Hey, fish-for-brains," Another voice rang out behind them, "Eyes off the blondie and on the baddie!"

Both Aqualad and Terra turned slightly, their hair standing up and crackling from the electricity that surged between their bodies. Bumblebee stood behind them, stingers in hand as she cocked her arm on her hip, a small smile on her lips. "Stop flirting, you two, and start fighting!" She bellowed, as she flew forward for close combat. Terra and Aqualad ruffled their heads, hairstyle falling back into place in an instant.

"You think you'll be alright on land, water-boy?" Terra taunted, her hands glowing again to cause the sand to levitate by her sides. He laughed again, warping the sea water closest to him into gigantic fists. "I think I'll manage somehow, Sandy-locks." At the comment of her hair, a vein pulsed in her head, but Terra used the calming breath technique Raven had taught her to focus on the task at hand. "Hey, Bee!" The black bug looked behind her and tilted her head, simultaneously dodging Adonis's swing at her head.
