Trouble at Mayfield and an identity crisis.

If you've really got nothing for me to do at Mayfield, maybe you should send me home.

...I don't care if I won't remember Beastboy. I mean, it's not like he ever saw me as anything other than her. It's the best. For the both of us. There's no way that he'd ever like me. He's a super hero; he needs a super heroine. I'm just a normal school girl who just messes everything up. I don't deserve him.

And I'm not Terra. I'm...I'm not.

Right?

Pfft, please. You think I don't screw things up? I am the KING of screwing things up.

B-beast boy...?

In the adorably green skin. I heard a cute girl in trouble and came running.

But you're...older. And taller.

You know what, I'm not going to try and figure this one out.

Yeah serious. We live in a world with aliens, time travelers, super powers, magic...it's best just to go with the flow I figure.

And speaking of, what's got those tears flowing? You're much prettier when you smile you know?

...

I don't want to talk about it. You wouldn't understand.

Aw come on, just between you and me? It can't be that much worse then what this girl I know named Terra went through a couple years ago. Turned into a mutant triceratops monster. Would you believe it? We totally got her back though.

[Yep, he's playing along like he believes she's not Terra since that's how she's acting anyway. Green Genes is a little smarter then he used to be]

I don't want to have this conversation again if it's only going to end with us yelling at each other. I should just go.

I won't yell if you won't. All I wanna do is sit and listen. Promise.

[She relaxes slightly when he makes the offer, but she's still oh-so-scared this will end badly...]

Promise? I don't want to argue with you Beast boy...

Cross my heart.

If it's easier? You can call me Gar, whatever your more comfortable with.

OK...

[She takes a deep breath.]

This sounds totally crazy, but you have to believe me. We're both in this place called Mayfield, and we were sort of going out and sort of not but then I messed up because I got mad and yelled at you because you said I was Terra.

OK, yeah I could see that happening. I'm really stupidly stubborn sometimes.

The thing is...you were right.

I think I am her.

And that scares me.

I see.

Well...if it helps? Saving the city went a long way towards Terra being forgiven. I mean let's think about it. You've got parents don't you? In Jump City?

I do...or at least, I thought I did. But if I'm Terra, then they're not really my parents.

Buuuut they took you into their home knowing full well who you might be.

And did they treat you alright? Act like real parents?

Y-yeah, I guess...I mean, my dad's always been serious, and my mom works away from home so we can only talk over the phone or on the webcam. We were just...just a normal family.

Exactly! So you see? They know who you might be but that didn't stop them from wanting to take care of you and help you out.

Robin always says that getting stronger is all about learning from your mistakes but not letting them hold you back. And trust me, I'm the king of mistakes.

After all, it's not like we're super old like thirty or something right?

[Oh hey, it's a scary green monster wolf thing growling.]

[She takes one wary step back.]

B-b-beast boy?

[She's never seen this form of his before; usually it's a gorilla, a pterodactyl, or an elephant that's on the newspapers.

And he would never growl at her like that. They may have their arguments, but he would never hurt her. She's sure of that.

Still, whatever he is right now is really, really scaring her.]

[The Beast is padding towards her slowly, stalking like a lion maybe? Breathing deep through it's nose to catch her scent. Muscles ripple under fur and razor sharp teeth poke out from the lips]

[Another step is taken. She's not too sure now whether the big animal in front of her is Beast Boy, or if it's just some thing from another world that happens to be green. Mayfield does shake your perception on what's real and what's not, and if nations can be people than giant green animal hybrids can exist too. She swallows nervously and calls out his name one more time.]

Beast boy, c-c-cut it out, th-this isn't funny...

[It stops, then grunts and sits slowly still watching her very carefully. His bristled fur is starting to smooth out but his ears are still perked to catch every sound. This one is not Tara, but familiar enough. It watches her expectantly]

[She watches him back anxiously. Does the monster want to kill her? Or is it just as curious about her as she is about it. Cautiously, she puts her hands up. ]

I don't want to hurt you ok?

[The beast snorts but remains seated watching and waiting, doesn't move just yet, but at least it's calm]

[OK, so it looks like she's not going to be lunch. That's good. She relaxes slightly.]

Can you understand me?

[A grunt and...what was either a slight nod or just her imagination?]

Ok...umm, what's your name? Can you talk?

[A low growl, but no response other then that.]

So you can't talk. Faaaaaaantastic.

[She moodily kicks the dirt on the ground before she sits down in silence. A few minutes tick by before she looks back at the green monster, an idea coming to her.]

...can I tell you something secret? But you can't tell anyone. It has to be a promise.

[There's a grunt, and the creature shifts into some kind of furry goblin that scurries over an sits at her feet patiently.]

[She makes space for the critter and waits for him to get settled before she starts talking.]

There's this guy I know, and...and I really, really like him. He's super funny, he's brave and he's always so cheerful that I feel like smiling when I see him.

But he's a superhero. And me? Either I'm just a normal girl with absolutely zero chance of us staying together forever, or I'm an ex-superheroine who nearly destroyed Jump City and tried to kill him and his team mates before.

Not exactly someone you want to take home to your parents.

[The creature leans into her, it's fur is softer then any pillow. It looks up at her with a sort of dry look as if to say "Who says?"]

You don't sound so sure. [thank you, Captain Obvious.]

No, I'm sure. I mean, I think I'm sure. Yeah, I'm totally sure that I'm not the girl who betrayed the Titans and the town to an evil criminal.

I think.

Oh. [- like all of that made all the sense in the world. nope, nope, he is not dealing with a crazy person at all.

but. all the same...]

That all sounds really...heavy. Um, let's pretend for a moment that you are this person. You aren't doing any bad things right now, are you?

No, but it doesn't change the fact that I did do something wrong.
