*sits curled up on her bed, reading Les Miserables. Her only thought outside of the book was how annoying it would be if some one were to interupt her at this point*
*snarling softly, her once loosely-clenched fists were now tight, fingernails digging into her palms gradually* Look, I know I made a mistake, okay? I know that I was wrong! At the time, help controlling my powers just sounded nice! I was tired of running from you guys! Why don't you understand?!
*with the last sentence, her eyes gleamed into a golden aura, and a soft quake rumbled underneath their feet*
Tired of running from us? *her eyes begin to glow darkly* If you were so tired, then why did you run again, and go to Slade? We would have helped you, if you had given us a chance. But you didn't.
I have to spend most of my time mediatating! I'm afraid to have friends at all, because of my powers. I do understand, but the difference between us is that I faced my problems!
I was scared of what you'd think! I didn't think you'd let me stay on the team if you found out! *shoulders square slightly*
You know, I don't think you do understand, Raven! *the ground beneath them was now rattling so hard that things were shaking off shelves, and a slight gust swam around Terra from the power that was radiating from her, making her hair slightly flutter* You just don't want to admit you're wrong! That I'm a new person! That I didn't mean to do those things!
If you really thought of us like that, then you didn't belong here in the first place! *things start to glow black*
*her hair and cloak flutter as the two powers meet and clash, and her eyes are now glowing brightly* What does you being new have to do with anything? You were accepted! You were one of us!
If you didn't mean to do it then why did you go to him? *snarls*
Raven hesitated, torn between the pain this girl had recently caused her and her exhaustion. Well...she was offering to help, and if any more salt got in her cuts, she was going to scream. She sighed then grabbed the Terra's hand and scrambled onto to the rock.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, she pushed her hair back, pulled up her hood, and put her hands over the geomancer's legs. A blue glow surrounded her hands and Terra's wounds disappeared.
"Thank you for helping me." She said turning so that they weren't facing, trying to aviod the embarrasement that was sure to be included in this trip.
Managing to smile, even a little, as Terra helped her onto the rock, and then concentrated on actually getting them back to shore before her exhaustion surely made her give. Raven put up one hell of a fight, that was for sure. With so much focus on getting them back to the tower, she stirred slightly in surprise when she felt a tingling sensation in her body; she turned to the sorceress and realized she was healing her. Blinking repeatedly, she tried her best to hide her confusion and her own embarrassment, turning her attention back to the trip home.
"No problem," she replied quietly, and even quieter--though she hadn't realized that her thoughts had suddenly become aloud-- she murmured.
"Even though this was my fault... everything's my fault."
The goth settled back on her haunchs, circles under her eyes a bright purple, "You've gotten better." She said, almost grudgingly, but unable to hide a tinge of amusement. She focuses on healing her own wounds before turning back to the other girl. She was glad Terra hadn't asked any questions; she wasn't even sure why she had done it. The only real explination was that she didn't like seeing her teammates hurt when she could do something about it.
"It was my fault, too. I lost control of my temper."
Surprised, Terra glanced towards the other Titan and decided to take that as a compliment, though she didn't say anything in response to it. She lowered her head with a smile, brows furrowing upwards slightly; she hardly expected Raven to even say anything to her. She couldn't exactly blame the other girl...she'd tried to pummel her with a giant rock.
She opened her mouth to object to Raven's words, but clamped her mouth shut. The last thing she wanted to do was piss her off again. Instead, she let out an uneasy, "I... I hope I didn't break anything in the tower."
The girl swallowed a lump that had settled in her throat; she really had lost her temper in there too. She'd set off a nasty little earthquake, and she had no doubt in her mind that the rest of the Titans were mad at her for that alone.
"Your welcome." Raven said over her shoulder, before continuing her walk to the tower.

A few hours later Raven glided into the living room, her book under her arm. She had taken a shower, meditated on the roof, and now felt somewhat prepared to deal with the others again. Still, she couldn't help but be a bit relieved when saw that the room was empty.
The others would no doubt have questions about what had happened earlier, and she really didn't feel like answering at that moment.
The blonde geomancer had snuck around in the tower to make it to the living room hours before, trying to avoid running into any of the Titans. That was the last thing she wanted, or atleast, until she got some well deserved sleep. Terra had been sure the room that had once been hers was no longer rightfully hers, so she curled up on the couch in the living room. For some thankful reason, none of the Titans had wandered into that particular room-- or they did and either failed to notice her or left her alone.
Infact, after those few hours, she was still sound asleep on the couch, one arm dangling off the side of the furniture, head resting on the other arm; her goggles that she'd slipped up to the top of her head earlier were now slid down lopsidedly over her face. She hadn't even stirred as Raven came in.
The sorceress paused halfway to the couch, and sighed. She didn't want to take a chance at waking the other girl up; she deserved the sleep, even if she had started the fight. So Raven sat by the table and opened her book, quickly getting lost in the story and forgetting all that was going on around her.
The young girl may have not been aware of Raven's presence, but there was certainly one in her dreams that was suddenly making her stir. Her brows suddenly narrowed, and she began quietly murmuring in her sleep. "No..." she was now continually whispering.
It was even apparent she was shaking her head gently in her sleep, but there was something she couldn't quite handle, and it drove her to yell out. "Get away!"
With that, the ground faintly rumbled, but it was very minor, surprisingly (or perhaps that was compared to the quakes she'd set off earlier today), and Terra toppled off the couch with wide eyes. "Whoa," she gasped, relieved that she'd been dreaming, and stood up, freezing on spot.
"Raven!" When had she got there? The geomancer rubbed the back of her head, cracking a rather forced smile, "Uh... hi!"
Oh man, I hope I didn't sleep talk... this could suck.
Terra tilted her head slightly. "So are you... suggesting I should meditate?" she asked.
It had never really occurred to her that meditation could help her as well, but Raven was right about that. The better handle she had on her emotions, the less earthquakes she'd accidentally cause.
Raven nodded and picked her mug up again, taking a sip and a deep breath. She felt calmer then she had in a few hours, and it was a comforting feeling. It would be impossible to explain it, but once Terra had experience it she might genuinly be happy, "Because it helps with nightmares." She muttered, not realizing she had said this part out loud.
Watching the sorceress for a moment, Terra's eyes gradually fell back into staring at the tea, a thoughtful 'hm' parting from her. She took a drink from it, but her gaze never left it. Not even as she heard Raven's words.
"Does it stop them?"
The geomancer was, of course, referring to the nightmares.

"No." She hesitated, "It might for you, but even if it doesn't, it lessens them." She glanced over, somewhat apologetic.
