Summary: Raven is being targeted by an assassin. Can the rest of the team hunt him down before their friend is injured beyond repair?
New story. This one has a plot, and more than one chapter, unlike my first story. Fanfiction is my source for writing development. Advice on improvement is always welcome. However, consider my feelings before posting. Thank you.
FYI: I don't own the Titans. It's just fun to manipulate them.
The first thing Raven sensed as she awoke was relief. Unfortunately, the relief was not hers. Opening a surprisingly heavy eyelid, the young teen spotted the green eyes, face, and hair of one Garfield Logan looming over her with a nervous smile. She cursed her empathy and wished she could be as relieved about waking up as Beast Boy was, however an intense pain in her chest explained why that couldn't be.
"Glad to see you're awake," stated a voice from her left. She attempted to sit up, but only succeeded in turning her head as Cyborg's metallic arm firmly held her down. The young man smiled reassuringly at her. "You've been out since yesterday."
"Has everyone been watching me sleep?" Raven asked monotonously. She examined the room around her. With the beeping machines, white walls, and concerned visitors buzzing through the halls like flies, she concluded that she was in a hospital room.
"For the most part, ya," stated Cyborg. "But Starfire and Robin just left to get us some food. It's about lunchtime now." Raven considered this fact. Last she remembered it was almost noon…
"I've been out for an entire day?" she asked. Beast Boy nodded energetically. After a contemplative silence, Raven noticed another annoyance. It felt like someone was poking her very firmly in between her ribs. On her left, something snaked down the side of her bed under the sheets. Probing fingers reached under the sheets to examine the offending object.
"Why is there a tube jammed between my ribs?" her voiced carried a dangerous tone. Beast Boy backed up slightly. She reached under her hospital robes and felt for the spot where it connected with her side. It wriggled uncomfortably and she frowned.
"You shouldn't play with it Raven." Looking up, Raven spotted none other than Boy Wonder standing in the doorway of her hospital room. Next to him was Starfire and between the two of them they carried six slices of pizza and a Sub.
Raven glared at him. "You mind telling me what it's doing there then?" she asked, although it was more of a demand.
"You were shot Raven." He handed off the food to other members of the team. "Shot in the chest."
It's quite short. Sorry. Please stay tuned for the next chapter.
