Here we go, Chapter 3! I still don't own the Titans : ( but the Talons are mine 3. Anyways... enjoy!
Robin returned the next morning, stiff and sore from falling asleep on the rocks, but it was a familiar old feeling that he welcomed with a carefree smile.
"Robin!" Starfire greeted him with a worried expression, "You did not come home last night, I was worried!"
"I'm fine, Star," He smiled, "In fact I'm better than I've been in a long time."
"Uh, Dude, your day might kinda go down hill now." B.B. said hesitantly.
"Why?" Robin asked, not sure he wanted to know.
"Because..." Cyborg hung his head, "We, uh, maybe have your sister in the infirmary."
Robin pushed past the others, into the infirmary.
Midnight blinked groggily, her mouth was dry and she wrinkled her nose as she got a good whiff of antiseptic. She groaned, half at the pain in her side and half at the fact that someone had just walked in the door. She blinked again, more aware, she wasn't tied down. In one fluid movement she sat up, leaped across the room, grabbed a scalpel and turned to face them. It was the group from the night before, along with the Demon look alike. He was holding up his hands in an Innocent gesture and took a step towards her. She emitted a feral snarl that started deep in her chest and just seemed to bubble up her throat, a warning. He stepped back again.
"Uh..." The boy started, his smooth voice tugging at her heart, "Mo?"
She dropped the scalpel, tears welling up in her eyes, "Dicky?"
Jumping off the counter she'd perched herself on, she ran over to him, hugging him and burying her face in his shirt.
"Mo, it's okay, you don't have to cry!" Robin said as she let out a violent sob.
She sniffled and wiped her eyes, "I missed you... Why am I just in my bra?"
"You accidental stabbed yourself when you fell," Raven said, "I had to cut your shirt off. Sorry."
"It's okay, I needed some new clothes anyways." She glanced down at her tattered jeans and holey shoes.
"You can borrow one of my t-shirts, Mo," Robin offered.
"Thanks, Dick." She smiled, "Um, can we get out of here, the smell bothers me."
"Um, Robin," Starfire said as they entered the living room/kitchen area, "Why does she call you a Dick?"
"Uh, it's a nickname, Star." Robin blushed, "A rather bad nickname."
Cyborg was laughing hysterically, "A nickname for what?"
Robin glared at him, "Richard."
"Oh." Star grinned, "Should I call you the Dick, too?"
"Um, no it's okay, Star." He shook his head, "I'd prefer if you didn't."
Mo looked at him and giggled, "Would you like me to call you Ricky instead? Or Demon?"
"Ricky is fine." he said handing her a light blue t-shirt with a large pikachu on it.
"Thanks," She pulled the t-shirt over her head, taking an elastick from her wrist and using it to tie the shirt so it was shorter and tighter on her, rather than Robin's huge baggy shirt. "So, have you been here all this time?"
"Uh, no, I spent some time in Gotham first." He said, getting some milk from the fridge.
"Well, watch out for True," Mo said, "She's royaly pissed at you."
"So, since when do you speak?" he offered her a glass of milk, which she gulped down quickly.
"Since I met a certain very perfect boy." she said dreamily as he poured her more milk.
"Boy?!?" His eye twitched.
"Yeah," she sighed, "Jake."
"Oh..." Suddenly he was very uncomfortable in this conversation, "So, how are the others?"
"What do you mean 'she's probubly fine'!" Hope shrieked, her long, light brown hair flying around her as she turned to face the older girl, "she said she'd be back ten hours ago!"
"Hope, calm down," Dragon said, putting his hand on the girls arm.
"I will not calm down!" She yelled, shrugging him off violently.
He stumbled back, knocked off balance and tripped over a rock he couldn't see, skinning his hand, "Ow!"
"Dragon!" She spun around and knelt next to the blind boy, "I'm sorry! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Hope." he mumbled shoving his hand into his hair and staring at the ground.
"I'm sorry, it's just..." She started to cry, "I just can't lose anyone else."
Renegade came over and placed his hand on his sister's shoulder. Truth looked at the group of kids and glanced at Faith, who was curled up by a tree, bitting her lip, "We'll give her 'till noon."
