When Fistpoint attacked Beast Boy, Terra defended him and they became friends.[2] Over time, Terra became part of Caitlin Fairchild's team, the Ravagers, which also included Beast Boy, Thunder, Lightning and Ridge. With the help of the Teen Titans and the the Legion, Terra and the Ravagers managed to escape the Culling.[3]
