Teen Titans Fan Fiction ❯ Musical: Some things Never Change ❯ Captivated, and Captured ( Chapter 23 )

 

Clothes don't make the kid
It's the other way around

(Stares at her reflection)

This is what
I've finally found

 

(Garfield)

 

That it's not about the way you look
It's about the things you do

 

(Both)

 

That make you beautiful you

 

(Garfield)

 

I am not my clothes
nor have I a crown

 

(Terra)

 

And I mostly wear street clothes
`but in my heart
I wear a gown

 

(Both)

 

So let's go out today
Like we've never had a care
About the things we think
We're supposed to wear

 

(Garfield)

 

`Cause it's not the way you look

 

(Terra)

 

It's the things you say and do

 

(Both

 

That make you beautiful
That make you beautiful
That make you beautiful you

 

They ended their dance with Terra curtseying, and Garfield tenderly kissing her hand, and the crowd applauded.

 

Later on that night…

 

Terra and Garfield were taking a rest break and decided to get a swig of punch. As Garifeld tenderly poured the cups, he began to playfully flirt with here again.

 

“Who are you really, and what were you before? What did you do, and what did you think?”

 

Terra giggled. “We said no questions.”

 

They clinked their cups. “Here's looking at you kid.” Garifeld said, and as they sipped he couldn't help notice that everything was going perfectly that night, and he even asked Terra earlier again if she liked spending time with him.

 

And she answered with the same line again. “You're my definition of fun.”

 

Garifeld couldn't help it any longer. “Uh… Terra?” he asked sounding a little shy. “There's something I want to ask you something.”

 

Terra blushed softly. “Yes… what is it?”

 

Garifeld rubbed the back of his head nervously. “Well remember when you asked me… what I wanted to do when I finished school?” he paused and then stared deeply into her eyes “I think I figured out what it is.”

 

Terra's eyes began to sparkle like the stars. “Yeah… go on.”

 

They held hands, and still gazed into each other's eyes. “Well… what I want to--” Garfield paused. “What I'm trying to say is…”

 

“Yes… yes…” Terra peeped.

 

But before he could finish, the ground softly began to rumble. Everyone paused and looked around in confusion as the rumbling got stronger… the lights were flickering in the stress, and the punch was wobbling.

 

“What's happening?” cried Terra.

 

“Whatever it was, could it have waited maybe ten more seconds?” Garifeld asked angrily.

 

The rumbling got even worse, and suddenly up there in the sky was huge Spider, slowly coming down towards them all. Just the sight of it was enough to make all the girls scream blue murder.

 

“That's the biggest bug I've ever seen in my life.”

 

“Yeah… that's thing's big enough to crunch us all up.”

 

Garfield looked closely at the use arachnid. “Wait a minute. Look!” he said. “The eyes… their glowing red, and the legs are all moving in patterns.” Which could only mean that that Spider was mechanical.

 

Suddenly, a big tube of light shot out from the Spider's belly, and there coming down through the beam were Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth.

 

As soon as they had touched down, they released more Green Animals from their capsules. “Okay nobody move!” growled Gizmo. “I got a T-Rex here, and I'm not afraid to use it.”

 

The teens all got down on their knees quivering in fear. “Look them all. It's like taking candy from a baby.” Mammoth joked.

 

Suddenly, a large TV screen on the Spider-Ship's back clicked on. Garfield and Terra narrowed their eyes “Slade.”

 

“So sorry to ruin your festivities.” Slade said. “But I can assure you, if you cooperate and give me what I want, no one will get hurt.”

 

The beams of light began focused on Terra.

 

The trio began moving towards her, but Garfield stood in front of her.

 

“Come on kid… there's no way out of this.” Jinx hissed. Terra and Garfield began backing away, but there wasn't of a place to run. Jinx hopped down from the Elephant she was riding on and began stepping towards them.

 

“You don't want any of this kid, now get out of the way.” she hissed. He hands began glowing madly.

 

Garfield could feel his anger boiling, and just because he didn't want to be a hero anymore didn't mean he could still fight. So he let out a cry of battle and gave her a swift kick in the face.

 

Jinx fell flat on her back.

 

“EVERYONE RUN!!” cried Garfield.

 

The teens all began running in panic, and out the front gates like a wild stampede. No sooner did the teens all clear out when the Teen Titans entered.

 

“Yo' man, what's going on here.” asked Cyborg.

 

“TITANS… LOOK OUT!!” cried Garfield, but not only had the trio begun to fight with their animals, Slade unleashed some of his Robo-minions to keep the Titans occupied.

 

“TITANS… SPREAD OUT!!” cried Robin, and the battle was on.

 

Robin whipped out his metal rod. “Welcome to my nightmare.” He growled and her began to make short work of the robots.

 

While Cyborg was dealing with Gizmo. “Why can't you just be a good little boy, and give up already?” he mocked.

 

“Ha! You first, Tin-man.” Gizmo snarled.

 

They began to do battle along one of the Roller coaster tracks.

 

Raven was busy dealing with Jinx, and some of the animals. She used her powers to send the tables flying towards them. Some of the animals tripped over their feet, but more were still coming.

 

“Ha, ha… is that the best you can do?” Jinx mocked.

 

“No… this is!” Raven snapped. “Azarath… Metrione… ZINTHOS!!” Her power blast knocked the other animals off their feet, but not Jinx who blasted Raven with her own attack.

 

Starfire was busy attacking more of the Robots, which weren't very difficult for her to crush on her own. “You evil creatures stand not a chance against my star-bolts.” she growled.

 

“Maybe not… but I sure can.” called Mammoth. “Have some rock candy… heavy on the rocks!!” and he threw large boulder that she was barley able to dodge or negate.

 

Garfield just stayed near Terra and protected her from the remaining robots. Terra thought that was really brave of him, and she wished she could help, but she hadn't had time to refocus her powers and it was best she didn't.

 

So far the battle seemed to tipping in the Titans favor, as the animals had all gone back into their capsules, and the trio was starting to look tired, and now stood all together with each of the Titans and Garfield circling around them.

 

But strangely, they were all smiling wickedly.

 

“Man you Titans are as dumb as you look.” Gizmo chuckled.

 

The Titans didn't understand, but suddenly they heard Terra scream. They all turned round and saw Slade with his arm wrapped round her neck.

 

“Terra!” cried Garfield.

 

“Stay where you are, Boy.” Slade hissed. “The girl is mine now, and very soon the city shall be mine as well.”

 

“Let her go!” Robin growled. “What could you possible want with her anyways?”

 

Slade sneered at Robin. “You'll know soon enough, until then…” The beams of light shone on the villains and beamed them up to the Spider-Ship, and then they took off into the sky.

 

Garfield kept watching to his horror until they were out of sight. He walked over to where Terra and Slade were standing, and all that was left was the flower he had given to her.

 

He clenched it tight in his fists, and collapsed to his knees “TERRA!!”

 

Meanwhile, on the Spider-ship…< /div>
