Disclaimer - Gonna keep this disclaimer thingy short and simple for the rest of the story. I can't think of anything else witty to say ;) I don't own Teen Titans.
Part 3 - A Fight
"Beast Boy is going to be alright, yes?" A soft voice filled his ears.
"I sure hope so. B's been unconscious for days"
"He used a lot of energy while turning into… the Beast. He's just tired"
Other familiar voices echoed through his mind. His eyelids slowly moved.
"I think he is doing the coming to!"
"Well he better be. Every moment we waste means another moment for whoever is behind this to get closer to succeeding their plan"
Suddenly Beast Boy's eyes opened. He looked around. His friends surrounded him, all but Robin. He tried to lift his head, but he had no strength. Beast Boy moaned and slightly moved his head up.
"Rest, friend. You have no strength," Starfire said, concerned.
"Starfire's right," Cyborg added. "Turning into the Beast must have tired your poor little butt out"
"H-How did you know I turned into the Beast?" Beast Boy mumbled weakly, struggling just to keep his eyes open. "You were all… unconscious"
"Robin wasn't," Cyborg told Beast Boy. "He was really gonna let you have it, but since you were unconscious for three days, he didn't get the chance"
"I was unconscious for… three days?" Beast Boy, shocked, replied.
"Yeah, and that's exactly why you shouldn't turn into the Beast in useless battles like this one where we could all easily defeat the enemy," Robin glared at him. "And especially not when every minute you spend being laid could get the enemy a chance to strike again"
Beast Boy wanted to say something, but he just sighed. He lifted his head enough again so that he could look around him. The Tower was still severely damaged, but Cyborg had repaired it up to the med bay to keep Beast Boy in. He moaned and rested his head on the pillow.
"We can't let him go in missions or battles before he recovers," Cyborg looked at Robin slightly.
"I know. And that's why he shouldn't have turned into the Beast," Robin stated coldly.
"Can Raven not do the healing on friend Beast Boy?" Starfire looked over at Raven.
Raven sighed. "Healing takes a lot of energy and concentration. If I were to heal Beast Boy completely, I may not have enough strength for battle"
"Raven's right," Robin looked away from the group. "She was always more useful than Beast Boy in battle anyway. We'll just have to forget Beast Boy for now until he's better"
"That's not what I'm saying," Raven said, still avoiding eye contact with Robin. "Someone will have to stay he recovers. Or we can just hold off on fighting until he does so"
"Hold off on fighting?" Robin said, rather harshly. "Not a chance. And I'm not sacrificing another Titan just to look over Beast Boy. We're going without him, whether you like it or not"
"Well, I don't," Raven replied. Her standing up to Beast Boy made him feel… comforted, in a way. He didn't bother open his eyes, but Raven's voice was enough to make him feel protected and safe.
Robin turned around quickly and got face to face with Raven. "I said whether you like it, or not," He said, his voice grating. "And if you don't like it, well too bad for you. You're going. You don't have a choice"
"But I do," Raven responded, crossing her arms. "You're not the boss of me"
Robin looked furious. "Look, I'm the leader here. I don't know why you're being so stubborn, but you better quit the act"
"Oh, so that suddenly means you're not any more stubborn than I am?" Raven turned around, so she wasn't facing Robin anymore. "You can't just leave a member of the team behind, unprotected even. He's your teammate. You should appreciate the work he's done whether he was actually useful"
"Please, friends, I do not wish for you to do the arguing anymore!" Starfire said, loudly so both could hear. She went between the two of them so they could separate.
Raven glared at Robin, and he did the same to Raven. Beast Boy felt scared. Even though he appreciated Raven standing up to him, he didn't want to see his teammates fight. He moaned and once again closed his eyes.
"Beast Boy, friend, is something the matter?" Starfire quickly left Robin and Raven and went to see Beast Boy in bed.
"He seems fine. Just tired and weak," Cyborg, looking at Beast Boy's vitals, informed Starfire. "He should be fine in a day or two"
"A day or two? We need him up and well, immediately!" Robin turned around to the other Titans. "If not a few hours. But not a day or two!"
"Calm down Robin," Cyborg looked concerned. "Beast Boy needs rest. The more you scream at him for turning into the Beast and recovering, the more stress you put on him"
"Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down when we nearly got defeated three days ago? How am I supposed to calm down when Beast Boy turned into the Beast, and that it drained all of his energy out? How am I supposed to calm down when every moment we waste gives another moment for the person behind this to complete their goal?" Robin said discordantly. He looked at Cyborg, sweat running down his face.
Cyborg sighed and looked at Beast Boy's vitals again. He was sound asleep. He looked over at him and back at the vitals without a word.
Robin went to get a drink. The group had barely ate, but weren't too hungry anyway. Raven sat on a chair next to the bed Beast Boy was laying in.
"Great job defending B," Cyborg said to Raven, a slight smile appearing on his face.
"Oh yes, Robin has been acting much of the stubborn lately since we had been attacked," Starfire added, a smile plastered on her face as well. "That does not mean we do not like him still, yes?"
Raven remained silent. Both smiles slowly faded.
"It's mostly you that likes Robin, Star," Cyborg stated with a remnant of a smirk. "And I mean, like like him"
Starfire blushed and smiled a bit.
The three stood there in silence for a moment. They all sighed and went to do their own thing. Cyborg stayed with Beast Boy, to make sure nothing happens to him.
Starfire proceeded to talk to Robin, and Raven went to meditate by the ocean.
A cool wind blew her hood down, revealing her face and her silken violet hair. She let the breeze sweep through her face. It felt relaxing, the first time she had felt relaxed in several days. She closed her eyes and levitated off the ground, her legs crossed.
The sky was slowly beginning to turn from a soft light blue into a dark indigo color. The bright rays of the sun slowly faded into darkness. It was late evening, and Raven felt a bit tired. She couldn't help to think, though.
'Why did I defend Beast Boy? Why did Robin's words about him hurt me, when it was about Beast Boy? Why do I feel different for Beast Boy right now? Why don't I feel the same for him as I do for any other Titan? Why do I feel strange every time I see him?' Raven floated back down to the ground. She sat down on the rocks, smoothed by the waves that wash against the shore. She yawned and closed her eyes for a bit. 'Maybe I just need some rest'
