Memory 005: backtracked to 17th July

[forgotten_titan]

Action: Around town

After this, Terra is limping back to her house. Every step brings forth a wince and there is a giant bruise on her right arm where she had fallen on. Eventually she leans on a lamp post to rest and catch her breath, her left arm wrapped around her middle. Stop and help?

Action: 625 Topper Street

Somehow or another she made it back to her home. Tip-toeing through the living room, she's about to make it to the staircase when a stab of pain up her side causes her to stumble, one hand accidentally knocking a nearby photoframe down onto the ground with a crash.

Oh dear...

[ Maya head over to Terra, and offer her a smile. ]

Would you like some help, dear?

[bye_to_yer_head]

*Congratulations Terra, witness one Sniper actually laughing. It's pretty rare, enjoy it while you can.*

Sorry mate.

*He retrieves the peas from the floor and hands it over.*

[forgotten_titan]

[She just glares at him before grudgingly taking the cold peas from him and stalking away. Gingerly placing the cold packet on the bruise, she winces at the sudden icy contact before she takes to muttering to herself.]

You wouldn't find this funny if you got beat up by a crazy lady in pink at the park.

[forgotten_titan]

G-greed.

I, I fell down and hit my arm. It's not th-that bad, honest.

[forgotten_titan]

Oh, n-no, I'm fine! I'm just a little tired, I can get back home by my-

[She stops midsentence as another twinge of pain goes up her bruised arm. She grits her teeth and clamps the injured area with her left hand.]

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He snickers some more. He can't help it. But having retrieved his beer, his real reason for coming in the house, he's back on the roof and making more arrows. His life is a non-stop whirlwind of action.*

[togetherwestand]

[She doesn't believe that for even a moment, but neither does she blame the girl for not trusting a stranger.]

It looks to me like you fell down pretty hard. A few times.

[begintheoperation]

[Fran nods and peers closely at Terra, perhaps a bit too close.]

Do you need a doctor? I can help~

[thebeastwithout]

((Sorry for being so late! I had to go on hiatus due to medical issues in the family. Feel free to drop the tag if you'd prefer.))

[Beast Boy is dim, not blind. His eyes will narrow as he bounds up beside her.]

Dude.

Who did this?

[forgotten_titan]

((OOC: Don't worry about it, family comes first.))

S-some lady. S-she was hurting a dr-drone, really badly, so I tried to get her to stop but...

[She should stop trying to bite her bottom lip; it's already cut from where she fell down on the ground.]

[forgotten_titan]

[Around ten minutes later, there's a knock on the window closest to him. Terra pulls the window sill down and leans out carefully.]

...h-hey. I've got a question.

[forgotten_titan]

...there was a r-rock?

[Which, honestly, was the truth.]

[forgotten_titan]

N-no, I'm fine. I just need to get b-back home.

[She doesn't even notice at this point, as another stab of pain from her side causes her to gasp slightly.]

[bye_to_yer_head]

*He nods politely, a little bit surprised she's talking to him willingly.*

Yeah?

[forgotten_titan]

[She's even more surprised that he agreed.]

You...don't like the drones right?

[thebeastwithout]

Dude, Terra, there are some completely crazy people here! You can't just throw yourself in the middle of things! What if you'd gotten killed?!

[forgotten_titan]

Well what was I supposed to do!? She was throwing baseballs at him till he couldn't get up! I couldn't just leave him like that!

[bye_to_yer_head]

Nah. Creep me out. Freaky lil buggers.

Why do ya ask?

[thebeastwithout]

You run and get me so I can get beat up! You're a lot more important than a drone, Terra.

[forgotten_titan]

Is that why you beat them up?

[forgotten_titan]

But drones used to be people, right? Does it make them any less important than me?

And I couldn't. I thought she was going to kill him.

[thebeastwithout]

Yeah, you're more important! They used to be people; sure we shouldn't hurt 'em, but I'd choose you over Starfire or Robin's drone any day of the week.

C'mon, you've gotta get to the hospital. Do you think you broke anything?

[forgotten_titan]

[She stubbornly shakes her head here.]

It doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to save them when they're in trouble. Just because they don't know they're brainwashed doesn't mean that the real person isn't there anymore. I just...didn't want to stand there and do nothing.

I'm fine. Just achy and bruised. I think I can still wiggle my fingers so...

[thebeastwithout]

I didn't say you shouldn't save 'em, but you've gotta do more than just use yourself as a shield! Getting killed doesn't save anyone.

...We can talk about this later. I'll give you a piggyback.

[forgotten_titan]

I told you, I'm fine I can-

[And that's when her side decides to send her a reminder that no, she isn't fine at all. She nearly falls down on the ground, but grabbing the lamp post prevents her from suffering yet another fall.]
