Teen Titans: Coma

Part 1: Wedding bells
Chapter 1: Morning
It was a beautiful Saturday morning in Jump City and the surrounding area. The sky was a bright, clear blue with not a cloud in it, and it was already very warm. This was the kind of day that people would be wearing shorts and tank tops and summer dresses, and would be walking around the waterfront eating ice cream or hanging around the boardwalk. A perfect day, all in all. Not even the city's villains were out ruining things.
Out in the middle of the bay, on a relatively large island, Titans tower stood, keeping a watchful eye over the city and its inhabitants. The Titans were there whenever something went wrong, and were always willing to save the day. But even they were thankful when they had a day to themselves!
Robin, the team's leader, was in the gym working out, as usual, trying not to wonder about the very strange recent behavior of Starfire, and what it meant. Ever since they had gotten back from Tokyo, she had been very distant, and a little awkward around him. He shook his head, wondering to himself.
"I just don't understand," he said, wiping his sweaty face with a towel and sitting down on one of the nearby benches. "Why would Star become so distant from me all of a sudden? What have I done?"
"You haven't done anything wrong, Robin," said a dryly sarcastic voice from the doorway. Robin turned around, and saw Raven standing behind him, wearing a different outfit than usual. Today, instead of wearing her traditional blue long-sleeved leotard and blue cloak, she was wearing a navy blue tank top, and a pair of dark blue cut-off shorts. Her short blue-ish gray hair was worn down, as usual.
She noticed Robin staring at her in surprise. "What? So I felt like wearing something else today." She glanced at Robin and his outfit, and raised an eyebrow. "But I'm not the only one who decided to change their clothes."
"Hey!" Robin said, indignantly. "I didn't feel like getting one of my uniforms all sweaty this morning." He crossed his arms, and glared at her. Robin, instead of his normal uniform, was wearing a red tank top that showed off his muscular arms, and a pair of black thigh length shorts. His black spiky hair was all sweaty now, which meant that he would have to restyle it later. And, as usual, he was wearing an eye mask. Not one of the Titans had ever seen his eyes, except for Starfire, but that was on accident once.
Raven paused, thinking for a second. "But, like I said, you haven't done anything wrong. Starfire's just going through a lot right now."
"I know," Robin said, nodding, "so am I. I just wish that she would talk to me. Is it so much to ask?" He got up from the bench, slinging the towel over his shoulder, and walked over to the doorway. Raven shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't think so, Robin," she said quietly. "But I think that when Starfire's ready, she'll talk to you." And with that, she headed out into the hallway and towards the living room, Robin following behind her.
Meanwhile, in the living room on the top floor of the Tower, the bane of Raven's existence, Beast Boy, the little green shape-shifter, and Cyborg, the tower's resident tech guy, were sitting on the couch, hanging out playing video games. At this moment, Beast Boy was currently in the lead…
"Come on, Cy! You can do better than that!" Beast Boy said as his car turned the corner on the giant TV screen. He didn't notice Cyborg's car creeping up behind his.
"Oh, yeah?" Cyborg said as his car sped past Beast Boy's again. "What do you call that?"
"Aw, no fair!" Beast Boy whined, pouting. "I was actually ahead of you."
"Not anymore," Cyborg said, gloating. "You're gonna have to catch up, B."
Beast Boy glared at him. "You know, I don't wanna play anymore." He threw his controller down, and got up off of the couch. He quickly shape-shifted into a cat, stretched everything, and shape-shifted back to himself again. "I'm gonna get something to eat. You want anything?" He headed for the kitchen, which was over to the left behind them.
"Nah, I'm good right now, BB," Cyborg said, stretching his metal legs out in front of him. "You sure you don't wanna play?"
"No thanks, Cy," Beast Boy said, rummaging around in the fridge for something to eat. "I've kinda had enough video games for now."
"One would hope you did," Raven said, walking into the living room, followed by Robin. "You and Cyborg have been playing video games since 7 o'clock this morning. What did you do, glue your hands to the controller?"
Cyborg and Robin snickered as Beast Boy, who was now holding a piece of cheese pizza, glared at Raven. "No, Raven, I did NOT glue my hands to the controller! Last time was an accident." Beast Boy sat down on a stool in front of the counter.
"So you say," Raven said sarcastically. "I thought you did it on purpose."
Robin and Cyborg laughed at the following argument between Raven and Beast Boy. Robin turned to Cyborg and said, "Where's Star?"
"She's obviously not up yet, man." Cyborg said. Robin sighed audibly. "What's going on between you two these days, anyway?"
"I have no idea," Robin said, when right at that moment, Starfire walked in. She quickly made a beeline for the kitchen, and started rummaging around for something to eat. She was wearing her normal outfit today, unlike the rest of the Titans; a purple midriff tank with a silver neck plate, a purple miniskirt, and purple boots. And her long red hair was worn loose down her back as usual. Her bright green eyes were worried as she sat down at the counter next to Beast Boy, sipping a glass of orange juice. The other Titans looked at each other for a second.
"Um, morning, Starfire," Robin said cheerfully, looking at her. Starfire caught his glance, and blushed.
"Good morning, Robin," she said quietly. She quickly glanced around at the others. "Good morning, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy."
"Morning, Star," they chorused.
"How are you feeling, Starfire?" Raven asked her, curiously.
Starfire looked at her, startled. Could Raven possibly know what I am feeling? she thought to herself. Or is she enquiring in regards to something else?
"I am feeling…fine," she said decidedly. "I am feeling fine this morning, Raven, thank you very much for the asking." She quickly stood up and carried her glass to the sink, and washed it out. And as soon as the glass was clean, she headed for the door again.
"Where are you going, Star?" Robin asked as she walked away. Starfire turned around for a second, her eyes sad.
"I need to attend to Silkie," she replied, and walked out the door. Everyone was staring after her in surprise, and then looked at each other.
"Is it just me," Beast Boy said, scratching his head with a green finger, "Or is Star acting weirder than usual?"
