Five minutes later they stood in the middle of the fight zone, where most of his team had fallen. They reached Starfire first, looking at her orange body, parts dyed red from the blood pooled around her. Beast Boy lifted her and handed her over to Bee, who'd tagged along to help, along with Speedy and Aqualad. Silently, Bee took off with Star's body.
Cyborg was next. Speedy found all of his missing appendages and laid them beside their rightful place. Argent aimed her hands at him, and her red energy began reattaching the limbs that had been violently ripped from his body during the fight. Speedy and Aqualad loaded him into the T-Car, which they had driven over in. Once they were both in the car, they drove off, leaving Beast Boy and Argent to find his leader.
A moan sounded from the far left and Beast Boy froze. He looked at Argent, whose hands now began to glow with the energy she exerted. Slowly, they neared a small building that was half collapsed. Why did it look so familiar to him? It was just a flower shop that Slade and thrown Robin into.
The realization hit him quicker than anything else had. "Robin!" He exclaimed and ran for the building, throwing bricks and glass and anything, just digging his way through the collapsed building.
Argent was by his side instantly, doing the same as him. After what felt like hours of digging, she threw a brick and saw a green glove. Beast Boy hoped that there was a hand in that glove, and that the rest of the body was with it.
"Robin!" Argent pushed aside a ton of bricks and broken flower pots and finally found the leader's face.
"Rob?" Beast Boy stilled.
Silence. Was Beast Boy too late yet again?
"B-Beast..." There it was. Robin's mangled voice.
"Robin, it's okay. I'm here. I got you." Beast Boy dug his leader's body completely out. "Argent, can you heal him, at least so I can move him?"
She let her hands hover over his chest, turning them both red. After a few seconds, she looked at him. "I can't do much. My healing isn't as good compared to Jinx and Raven, but it'll do until we get him back to the tower."
"Fly over me." Beast Boy said, wordlessly handing control of his body over to the Beast, who grabbed Robin and tucked him into his chest the same way he did Raven. He quickly glanced above, seeing Argent's flying form above him. And then, he ran.
It was easier to run through the city now that all the injured, dead and luckily unharmed citizens of Jump were off the streets. He ran the same path he ran with Raven in tow, but this time, it was his leader, his broken, beaten to a pulp leader.
How in the hell had he survived that long? Beast Boy had to have been asleep for hours, and the fight had to have ended at least an hour before he finally slept. It was still daylight, though. Maybe he wasn't asleep for as long as he had previously thought.
There was only one minor setback now, though. There was no boat to take him to the tower. The road that lead to their island was on the opposite side of town, and he wasn't sure Robin had that kind of time, even with his beast in control.
He looked above him, seeing Argent flying as fast as she could to keep up with him. She stared down at him, and slowly, he skidded to a stop, Argent flying down to land in front of him.
"Beast Boy, just keep running. Trust me, I'll get you both across the water."
He nodded and took off once more. Argent flew behind him, not far behind, but about twenty feet in the air. He was quickly closing in on the water, and nothing was happening. He hoped Argent would come through for Robin's sake. Just before he reached the water, a wide strip of water gave off a red glow. He trusted Argent. He hoped this would work.
And she came through. As he ran, the red glowing path stretched out and headed straight for the tower. He touched land and Argent flew past him. He charged behind her, and heard the door smack the wall and Argent's voice echoing through the stairwell.
"Bee, Speedy, we need help!"
Beast Boy shifted back, maneuvering a barely conscious Robin so his feet dragged the ground. "Argent, help."
She ran to his side, taking the other half of Robin's body and helping him take him to the medical bay.
"He's alive?" Speedy's voice was hopeful.
"Just barely." Beast Boy and Argent lowered Robin onto a bed and Bee tore the remains of Robin's shirt off. His whole entire top half was bruised and sick looking. His chest barely moved, but he seemed to be breathing.
"Wally, go wake up Jinx. I need her to help me heal him a little bit." Argent's hands hovered over his chest again, more to his left. Wally disappeared as he channeled his speed to go get Jinx. "Damn, how is he still alive? This is gonna take days to get him to heal, even with Jinx and I both healing him."
"But he'll be okay, right?" Beast Boy sat down in a chair near Robin's bed. "He has to be."
"If Jinx and I can keep him stable, he'll be fine."
"I don't know how much help I'll be." The pink haired sorceress walked in, straight to the side opposite of Argent. "I gave my all to Raven. I'll do what I can."
"Anything will help him, Jinx. His arm, his ankle, I think his nose, even. I'm working on his ribs, and I think his lungs are about to give out."
"He got choked out." Beast Boy's voice was barely audible. "Check his windpipe, it may be damaged."
Argent's hands moved to his throat. She gasped and the red glow seemed even brighter. Robin's legs moved, like he was uncomfortable. "It's okay, Robin. We're almost done. Jinx, stop. You're gonna drain yourself again. I can manage it from here."
Jinx took a step back and nearly fell to the ground. Jericho caught her beneath her arms and slowly lowered her into the ground, sitting on his heels and resting her back against his thighs. Wally was over to her side in an instant, taking her face in his hands.
Argent gasped and all attention in the room shifted from Jinx to her, save Wally. Her hands clenched the bed sheets and she was bent over at the waist. "I've never... Healed so much..." Her knees buckled and she landed on them.
Beast Boy was by her side, wrapping his arms around her. "Argent?"
"Exhausted." She breathed. "Help me up, would ya?"
Beast Boy's arms wrapped around her rib cage and he slowly pulled her to her feet, her hands holding lightly into his arms. "Thank you for healing him, Argent. You need to rest now, though. You can't even stand up."
She sighed. "I can't argue with you there." She patted his arm. "You too, Casanova. You had a long day."
"I have stay and watch Rae and Rob."
"We'll watch him." Kole's soft voice broke through. "Jericho and Speedy and Aqualad and I, we can watch them until you get some rest."
Beast Boy hesitated. "O-okay." He said.
Argent shifted so that her arm was slung over his shoulders and only one of his arms was around her. With a final wave, the duo headed out of the medical bay, the changeling glancing over his shoulder one last time at his broken teammates.
"You're gonna have to stay in my room." He said as he walked through his own door. "I don't exactly want to go in the others' rooms."
"I understand." Argent reached for the ladder on his metal bunk bed and slowly climbed up, plopping down on it. "Hot Spot will be here tomorrow sometime." She rolled onto her side to stare at the changeling still standing in the middle of the room. "He got caught up somewhere, but he'll be here."
"Thank you for coming, Argent."
"Anything for the people who saved my life." Her smile gave Beast Boy a little spark of happiness. "Now get some rest. It's gonna be a long couple of months I'd say."
He crawled into the bed, saying a goodnight. He was asleep within a minute.
