Target

Energy

"What are you talking about?" She asked angrily. "You never asked yourself why we went after you in first place? Or what end of the deal we meant for your ransom? Why we insist on destroying your planet?" The commander smiled evilly. Starfire didn't know what to say back. "Our planet was dying. So we called truce with Galfore so he would make a deal. We needed energy. We asked Galfore for an energy source and in return we would turn over our prisoners from past battles. Just when the deal was going to be made a young blonde encased Tameran's energy crystal that was given to us in stone. The crystal being fragile will not work while trapped in stone. Galfore couldn't get the crystal back and refused to use another. So without our planet we would need another." Starfire interrupted. "You would need to harvest Tameran." She whispered. "A blonde..." Starfire began to say. "Terra." Raven growled.

      After the battle concluded the Gemerons were forced out of the planets atmosphere but again promised to return. "So all of this is Terra's doing?" Beast Boy asked. "Yes." Cyborg answered. "But why?" He asked again. "Because she is a despicable, horrid, evil, wretched...!" Starfire began to go off. "We will discuss that at home. We need to find Adena and Speedy." Robin said in a calming voice. "I can't leave my people." Starfire argued. "No, he is right. Let me get our planet back on it's feet.
You need rest and so do your friends. As the leader of this planet it is not a request." Galfore intruded. Starfire nodded and ran into her father's arms. "Speedy come in." Cyborg tried his communicator again. "No answer?" Robin asked. "Not yet." He answered. The titans left the control tower and headed toward the ship. Speedy was leaned over a body on the ground near a building in their path. "Adena!" Beast Boy shouted. They ran as quickly as they could to their friend. "What happened?" Robin asked worriedly. "She won't wake up." Speedy said in a cry. Cyborg dropped to her as well as Raven. "She's alive. I can hear her heart beat and her thoughts are still flowing I feel them." Raven assured him. "She should be conscious by now." Cyborg raised his eyebrow in concern. "We need to get her to the medical center in the tower so I can figure out what's going on." Cyborg added.
"Speedy, maybe you should go get some sleep. I'm still running tests and it might be awhile." Cyborg said to him. Speedy worriedly stared at Adena's limp body on the cold table from the chair across the room. Her body was hooked to many wires and Speedy couldn't get near her until Cyborg was sure it was safe. "I can't leave her man." Speedy told him. "I didn't think so." Cyborg nodded and tossed him a pillow and a blanket.
"Why has our friend still not awakened?" Starfire asked Robin in a hushed voice. "I don't know." Robin answered worriedly. Everyone was exhausted but no one could sleep without knowing what was wrong with Adena. So everyone but Cyborg and Speedy sat in the kitchen with tired eyes and no one hardly spoke. Starfire slowly inched closer to Robin until he could put her hand in his. "Are you alright?" Robin whispered to her. "I am now." Her voice was back to normal. She was back to herself. This calmed Robin and made him close his eyes and smile. He turned and hugged her tight. "Adena is gonna be okay." Cyborg walked in the kitchen. "What was wrong?" Beast Boy asked. "She used a great deal of power today and Tameran's atmosphere took its toll on her with weakened powers." Cyborg explained. "Is she awake?" Robin asked. "Not yet but she's been saying Speedy's name in her sleep so she's not too far." He answered.
      "Speedy.." Adena whispered weakly again. "I'm here." Speedy was at her side holding her hand and caressing her cheek with his thumb. He kissed her head and leaned down to her. "You're gonna be okay." He whispered to her. Suddenly Adena threw her body forward and sat up and screamed frantically. Speedy quickly grabbed her. "Adena! It's alright everything is okay I'm right here!" "No no no no." Adena repeated in a shaking cry. "What's the matter?" He asked worriedly. "Terra." She whispered.
