The other Titans teammate whom Grant was often paired with was Tara Markov (Terra). Not that Terra, of "Judas Contract" infamy, who of course was dead by this point. Terra II is a separate character, despite having the same appearance, powers, and name as the original Terra. She showed up after some timeline shenanigans, with no idea of her actual background and origin. The possibility of her being the original Terra somehow resurrected was teased during her time with the Titans, but this would turn out not to be the case.

Whoever she is, she seems to be about Grant's age, and the two form a friendship. Of sorts. Tara tends to be abrasive, and Grant tends to take things personally, so it often goes about as well as you would expect.

Story time!

Their first interaction, during Grant's first outing with the Titans, sets up their relationship as teasing. Tara thinks Grant is a "dweeb" (please enjoy all the mid-90s slang featured in everyone's dialogue) and gives him grief about it. Their teammate Mirage tries to call her out on embarrassing him, but Tara sees no problem with her behavior. And Grant dishes the teasing right back.

(New Titans #0)

Which leads to banter about what stock roles that they play in the group and whom they would cast as themselves in a movie (popular heartthrob 90s actors, of course!).

Soon enough they're concerned teammates.

(New Titans #116)

But the insults stick around. And it's not always Tara who initiates them.

(New Titans #117)

As the youngest members of the team, Grant, Tara, and Bart Allen form a trio. During some down time, they go exploring in New York together, and Tara shows a more compassionate side. Like Grant, having friends is new for her. She takes it a step further and identifies them as a sort of family, and Grant agrees.

(New Titans #118)

...right before she goes back to the teasing. When he tries to console her after a rejection by telling her that he thinks she's cute, she makes a big show of pretending to be disgusted. Grant is a bit crestfallen, but this seems to be Tara's love language.

The three are also seen spending Christmas together by exploring Manhattan in Green Lantern 1990 #59.

When Grant and Roy clash over Grant's wish to leave on a personal quest, Tara is flippant. Roy assumes that she and Grant have never liked each other, so shouldn't she be glad to see him go? But she makes it clear that she's fond of him ("a little dorky, but he's cute") and "giving him a hard time" is her way of expressing that.

(New Titans #119)

Unfortunately, Grant hasn't picked up on that in their interactions. When he airs his grievances with the team during a fight, he makes it clear that he resents Tara's treating him "like I'm a walking zit with a pocket protector!" She takes offense at that, but by the time he stalks off in high dudgeon, she is more shocked than upset. This is the angriest that she's ever seen him, and perhaps she's a bit remorseful at how she has come across.

(Damage #13)

Grant never overtly apologizes to the team for what he says about them--as far as we're shown. But he and Tara are working together on normal terms again not long afterward, still bantering.

(Deathstroke #48)

...but now revealing some vulnerabilities to each other too. Grant is suspicious of Deathstroke, who reminds him of the ruthless family that runs the lab that experimented on him (and perhaps also of the Emersons), and Tara is afraid of turning out to be the original Tara Markov, who had a horrifying history with Deathstroke.

At the moment, Grant finds this fact to be TMI. But when it's brought up again during his second time with the Titans, he seems to be shocked instead. Maybe he didn't quite grasp what Tara is telling him here?

She continues to give him grief, pretending to object to his talking and his explosions.

(New Titans #122)

She goes a little too far during preparations for a mission in space, and Grant retaliates by sending energy through the floor to knock her down. She threatens him, but as ever, this is in jest.

(New Titans #124)

When he (not to mention the rest of the team) is in danger later, she is immediately concerned and comes to the rescue.

When the team reconvenes after going on separate adventures, Grant eagerly shows her a flower given to him by a new alien friend, and Tara seems less than impressed.

(This is not important, it just amused me.)

(Damage #16)

When Tara tries to argue with Roy, Grant tries to redirect her focus and remind her of where their current duty is.

(New Titans #125)

And she dishes out advice to him too.

Mid-fight, she goes out of her way to compliment him...backhandedly, of course (this is pretty rude slang). He snarks right back.

But he will sincerely compliment her later.

And she seems to be incapable of returning the favor without being insulting. Grant decides to just go with it.

Her powers are in full force in this scene, and it's pretty exciting for both of them.

And Grant gets the chance to use his powers to defend her after she gets knocked out.

He's a bit carried away with admiration, and there's an implication that they might have kissed if they hadn't been interrupted.

And Tara's last interaction with Grant will be to force a kiss on him as an attempt to placate him when Roy won't let him accompany the rest of the team to take Mirage to the hospital. She promises to keep him updated on the situation. But Grant has finally had it with Roy and walks out on the team permanently as soon as the others leave.

(New Titans #127)

She never does call. Grant seems to be forgotten as soon as he leaves.

Grant and Tara sometimes show up to the same big crossover events, but they do not speak to each other or work directly together again. The closest they get is standing near each other a couple times (notice that side-eye he's giving her!).

(Titans 1999 #39 / Young Justice 1998 #49)

She is killed in action not long after Grant joins the JSA. Her last words are a characteristically fierce "You want a war!!??!! I got your war right here!!!" and she dies from a fist ripping through her chest, a fate Grant will later meet too.

If they had gotten to interact again, I would have liked to have seen more exploration of their shared background of growing up alone and without a real family. They've adopted different coping mechanisms as a result--Terra presents a front of aggression, Grant is a people-pleaser until he's pushed too far--and this has affected their ability to connect. Tara genuinely likes Grant and enjoys his company, but she can't seem to interact with him without being mean. Grant can speak her language up to a point, but his insecurities can leave him vulnerable to her abrasiveness. They don't really know how to connect--so they interpret the regard they have for each other as romantic interest because hormonally-fueled kisses are easier than being open and sincere with each other. Under different circumstances, they could have been good friends, but at this point I think neither of them quite know how to do that.

9, 10, 22 for Biker 🤲🥰

BIKER.

9) How does your OC handle their physical health? Do they take care of themselves?

Back pre-apocalypse, Biker was a professional racer and, as a result, counted as an endurance athlete, and went through the physical training to show for that. So they know how to manage their physique and build up endurancee + strength without exploding forever, and can pull off some pretty impressive feats of strength, agility, and endurance when primed for it. BUT. They really struggle to take care of themself due to recent wounds sustained from being tortured with boiling water. It's given them an aversion to water touching their body (usually warm/hot water, but on bad days it's All water), and unfortunately this includes cleaning themself, and their wounds. This will have knock on effects, if not from infection (perhaps their fear of dying from sepsis will override this fresh trauma long enough to stop the burns from festering), then from poorly-healed scar tissue that pulls at their thighs to a point of restricting mobility. They're also beginning to descend into a long battle with alcoholism and that's not going to do wonders to *gestures vaguely at the stress ball that is their body* that.

10) How does your OC handle their mental health? Do they take care of themselves?

oh god.

They're in the blender and taking care of themself means chasing fleeting pleasures long enough to not be in pain anymore - be it through substance abuse, sex, or dangerous stunts for the adrenaline rush. They're probably going to start picking fights with people, as a way to redirect shame and aggression surrounding them being taken captive, and as a way to reestablish their own 'place' within the group, and reaffirm their strength to others. (can't wait to see what becomes of this miserable thang!!)

22) Fight or Flight? Are they a lover or a fighter?

Their immediate instinct is FLIGHT. but being cornered so so so often has lead to that godforsaken flee instinct to be condensed and expressed into FIGHT, because Biker wants to live, above all else.

they're both <3 they leave bite marks no matter what🙏 i think people call that bisexuality
