Dust settled as the echo of the buildings crash faded into the surrounding city. Raven looked to the people lying next to her, they were scared and had some scratches but seemed okay, Her leg however had taken a beating from a stray brick. "Robin, Where are you?" she cried out for her leader, "Beast Boy?" she asked, hoping for a response. She couldn't see or sense Beast Boy, the last she had seen of him was underneath the buildings hulking shadow. Thoughts began to race through her head, "Maybe he had gotten hurt? or worse. Maybe he was crush- No. Don't think that way Raven… He's Beast Boy, he probably flew out of the way…." She had to stop herself. She began to crawl towards the dismantled building, calling out and searching for her team-mate all the while.
"Raven? Where are you?" The empath turned to see Robin running towards her with Starfire and Cyborg in tow, "Robin, I'm here!" she replied, waiting for them to reach her. The concerned look on her teams faces and the lack of Beast Boy worried her, "Robin, Beast Boy and I- We were trying to- and then, the building started to fall and- and he pushed me out of the way…" Robin embraced the girl in his arms, "Robin… I can't sense him."
Robin pulled out of his hug, "Raven, what do you mean? Cyborg-see if you can get a lock on him. He's probably out of there." the masked titan ordered with a bit of worry lacing his voice. He hoped Raven's powers were just weakened right now with the scare they just had. She was almost crushed by a building. Cyborg nodded, "Robin, I can't get a lock on his communicator…." He looked to Raven, concern in his human eye, 'Raven, where… was he last? You need to show me." Raven pointed, "There… I was standing there and…" she couldn't continue. With a nod Cyborg ran over to the area where the changelings last location was known and began to dig through the rubble.
"Starfire, I need you to take the civilians to the hospital and then get Raven to the infirmary, we need to get her leg fixed up." The leader told his team, noticing the swelling around Ravens ankle. "No, I need to stay here Robin, for Beast Boy. I will help find him." Raven said defiantly, Starfire nodded "Robin, I feel it is in our best interest if Raven stays and continues the search for Beast Boy. I fear without her we may run out of time." With that the alien girl flew towards the civilians. Silently Raven thanked Starfire for allowing Robin no time to refuse, she created herself an energy disc and floated to where Cyborg was searching.
Hours went by and the team wasn't making much progress. Metal rod after chunk of building seemed to be the only things they were finding. Using her powers Raven was slowly growing tired but couldn't give up the search, couldn't give up on him. "How could he just willingly put himself in harms way for me?" she kept thinking, her thoughts were suddenly interrupted, "ROBIN! RAVEN! OVER HERE!" The two titans could see Cyborg begin to frantically try to move a large piece of concrete, "He's here! I can see his hand, he's here!" a tear was forming at the base of his eye, the worry for his brother showing. "Raven, get over here and help me move this! HURRY."
Raven made her way to where Cyborg was in record time, the concrete chunk was huge but somehow Cyborg was moving it. The two titans used their powers to slowly move away the bulk of the building while Robin called Starfire to have her setup the infirmary for Beast Boy, Until they could see him there would be no telling what condition he was in. It had to be bad for him to not be able to move or dig himself out.
"Beast Boy, it's me Raven… Answer me Beast Boy." no response was given, "Cyborg hurry we gotta move this." the robotic titan just nodded, trying his best to move things without causing other debris to fall into the hole they were creating. A gasp could be heard from him as he found the limp body of the green boy. "Raven! Get over here quick!" he demanded to her, now tossing stuff away. When she got to the side he was on her heart stopped. Laying in the mess covered in rubble, cuts, and lots of blood was the unconscious body of Beast Boy. "No…." she reached down to touch his face, "Beast Boy…. Beast Boy? Talk to me please, you need to wake up!" But there was no response. His ears were flat against his head with his eyes closed, a trickle of blood flowing freely from a deep cut on his forehead.
Her emotions got the better of her, letting tears stream down her face she hurried alongside Cyborg to remove the debris and free him. Chunks of bricks and remnants of the tenants house items were tossed and blown up from her powers, she didn't care though. This was her fault. He saved her. "If only I wasn't standing there…. If only I wasn't being so stupid, and the last thing I said to him…." too many things ran through her mind, her emotions running rampant. Cyborg removed the last bit of metal barb that had jabbed into the side of the green boy, blood running down his mechanical fingers. "We've got to get him home. NOW." Slowly Raven pulled Beast Boy out and held his body close to her, trying to find a bit of life left in him. "I can't teleport him but I'll fly him home." The girl said before thinking about it, She was tired but Beast Boy needed help, he was dying and it was her fault. She flew towards the tower with his body clutched close to hers, "I'm sorry Garfield… I'm so so sorry…."
