Terry MAY have been pretty self-aware, but certain pressures can get to even 
the best of us.  And despite all Terry's confidence in himself, and support of 
Donna and the Titans, he has always been portrayed as very fearful that 
he would not be able to keep his tenure.  No, I don't think this was
really out of character at all.  I personally like the story in this comic
alot, especially the way the Titan all left at the end... it showed that
this new team new that they were called together for one mission, and with
this done, there was no real need to hang around at the Tower for a few
days.  However, being one of Perez's biggest fans, I have to say that I was 
somewhat dissappointed with his portrayal of Jade on the cover.  Oh well,
I guess I was just spoiled by the cover on issue #20.
