It had been awhile.

Beastboy had more or less figured out how to use the sensoiums (Once he thought of it as a giant video game it made things easier) so when he made his frequent visits to the rooms he would often muse up places he'd been or places he'd like to go.

But this was the one place he hadn't dared to return to.

A dark cave with a steady path leading up to the surface. Stained glass was melted into the walls their colors muted in the low light. A steady drip from somewhere indicated the ground water from above was still sinking through the earth.

And there in the middle of it all was a statue.

It was stupid of him to think of her like that. She was alive and free, her memories missing or...maybe not. But he needed to talk to someone from his world and she was always the easy one to talk to.

"Hey Terra..."

The statue was of a girl around his age in pieces of armor and wrapped in bandages. Her face a look of stoic determination as she faced her final moments with courage.

At her feet a sign rested,

Terra.
A Teen Titan.
A True Friend.

"I know I know, it's been too long and I have a really good excuse this time." He rubbed the back of his head "See I guess these evil alien bugs blew up our reality and I'm one of the last survivors. Pretty wild huh? I've gotta help this huge group of people fight the bugs and hopefully find a way to fix everything, we're living on a ship that's alive...and the food sucks." He laughed at his own joke, "You'd probably love it though, if you liked Starfire's food this stuff can't be too bad."

He sat on the ground in front of the statue watching her and letting his mind drift back to a happier time.

Laughing, smiling, holding hands, his heart in his throat.

It started out like a fairy tale. It ended like a nightmare.

"I dunno I guess...it just feels so big you know? I've done big things before but this...this is...big! And I don't have any of the Titans here. I mean I've made some friends sure and they are really awesome! I wish you could meet them there's a vampire queen and this really awesome girl named Laurie, and Hawkeye and Katara...I wish you could meet them."

"Sup Beast Boy?" Robbie said, poking his head in, only seeing the green kid and fleshy green walls thnaks to hsi whole immunity to telepathy.

Beastboy gave a yelp and sprang forward trying in vain to hide the statue from the intruder, "Oh dude, you startled me uh...sup?" He was of coarse completely unaware that Robbie couldn't see what he had mused up.

"Sorry 'bout that. Ah,Nothin' much. Just wondering if by some kind of miraculous intervention I could finally see something in here. Nada. You?" Robbie asked.

"Oh I err uh...wait..." He blinked and stared confused like he hadn't heard, "Did you just say you can't see anything in here?" He flailed his hands around to gesture as to where he was talking about. Of coarse to him it still looked like a cave.

"Nope. Just a green room. Kinda have a whole immunity to telepathy." he replied, knocking on his head. "Usually comes in handy since it means I can't be mind controlled, but here it's kind of a nuisance."

"Oh..." Beastboy thought about that for a minute "Dude that sucks! These rooms are like, one of the best parts of being stuck on this ship." He suddenly shifted from embarrassment at being found out to pity as he approached and patted Robbie on the back "So lame dude, at least it's got some practical uses though. I'm totally weak to brain attacks and stuff." He grinned thinking back to Mad Mod.

"Not my coolest power though." Robbie replied.

"Oh yeah?" Beastboy felt challenged because...well he always thought his powers were the coolest. "What's the coolest one then?" He asked with a grin.

"I'm immune to getting punched." Robbie bragged. "Seriously. Go on, try to hit me."

Maaan the sensoriums were always taken recently. Lash had wanted to come in for a quick battle practice. Ahh well.

Decor was pretty interesting, however. She moved along the cavern, not quite in Beastboy's or the statue's view yet. Granted it wasn't exactly proper etiquette and it could be dangerous but...hell it was Lash and the situation clearly lent itself to it.

"HELLO!" she screamed. The voice carried and echoed a bit, "Hello...llo..." and she laughed. "Tee hee! Great ambiance and audio!"

"GAH!" Beastboy shrieked like a little girl and dove behind the statue, "Don't those doors have locks or something? Everyone keeps sneaking up on me!" He yelled back and then after a beat, "Hey you're right the echo is awesome."

Oh yeah, it was Beastboy. She gave him a wave after his less-that-heroic display trying not to laugh. She failed. "Eh, it's not like doors could stop me. I'd just blow them up."

Beastboy slid out from behind the statue and trotted over to greet her, "Can you still do that? I thought Stacy was totally against blowing things up and stuff."

"Well..." she paused, trying to think of a good comeback. "...probably not." You got her there, Beastboy. She looked around the place. "So...you're the one who set up the sensoriums today?"

"Oh um...well this one anyway." He grinned sheepishly trying to position himself so he was standing directly in her line of sight and she wouldn't be able to see the statue. "You know I thought maybe I'd err...go spelunking?"

Lame excuse Beastboy. Lame Excuse.

"Spelunking? I never did that before. Where's your climbing gear?" Why was he in her line of sight? It wasn't so bad talking to a person but she had a feeling judging from his voice that he was hiding something. So she asked in the most delicate way.

"Are you hiding something?"

"I-I don't need gear look at me." He changed into a goat and ran circles around her before turning into a bat and flapping about distractingly before crash landing at her accusation.

Shifting back he grumbled into the gravel, "Would you believe me if I said no?"

It does look oddly familiar

Spot had wanted to spend more time getting to know his other owner, and who was Laurie to deny a cute puppy's wish to spend more time with Sofia? So she is alone when she enters the sensoriums...only to find that it is already in use (because she had a field of flowers in mind, not a cavern.)

Dismayed, she starts to turn around to leave, when she hears a very familiar voice. I know that voice.

She turns around and walks a little deeper into the cavern, coming to a turn...where she can poke her head around...and see Beastboy sitting before a stone statue. He does not seem his bright and cheery self - which is the Beastboy that first met - but more...morose?

"Garfield?" she says softly, stepping forward, standing right next to the statue.

Beastboy seemed to wince and flopped onto his back smiling sheepishly, "Hey there Laurie I was err...just talking about you." He blushed but was practically glowing with embarrassment.

"Talking about...me?" she has to blush about that.

"A-ah yeah I was err...talking to a fried." He sighed. Well he'd been found out before this wasn't a big deal really. At least he trusted her.

"Laurie...meet Terra. Or at least the err...hologram version...sorta. It's complicated."

Laurie is confused when he introduces her to the statue, but then she turns around, and sees that the statue is of a girl, looking to be around her age. "Oh, uh... Hello." She gives the statue a little wave. "...Terra."

She turns her head to Beastboy. "Yea, I guess it is."

"I'm not crazy I swear..." He sat up and rolled to his feet pausing to consider it, "OK I probably am...but back home I used to visit this place every couple of weeks depending on how much time I had and I'd leave flowers, talk to her. She used to be a member of my team back home." He explained hoping desperately Laurie wouldn't think he'd completely lost his mind.

Laurie turns her head to him. "No, you're not crazy. You just miss a very good friend of yours." She turns her head back to the statue, staring at the girl named Terra. "It's OK to miss people."

She thinks of Xaiver's, the mansion...her friends and teammates. Even with Sofia on the ship, Laurie does miss all the people she's known back home terribly.

"It just...it sucks you know? Even if our friends are on this ship they're stuck in those pod thingies till Stacy decides to let them out. And we don't even know who's in there till they show up." He complained out loud.
