Starfire was scared. Robin shook, trembling violently against her. It was like when he had first reappeared, except this time he was reacting to what was going on around him. However, none of his reactions were very good. Starfire felt a mixture of horrible heartbreak for Robin, and incredible anger directed at whatever monster did this. She closed her eyes, unable to look at him cry any longer; it was too painful. Instead she hugged him tighter, quietly assuring him that someone was there, that everything was okay now, that he was safe.

The door was suddenly outlined in black energy as it was thrust aside, Raven rushing through. She froze when she saw the scene; Robin, alert, in Starfire's arms. At first, she was relieved that he had returned from his coma-like state. Then she noticed his shaking…the tears. Her eyes widened in a very un-Raven-like show of emotion. What had happened?

"I heard a shout…" she trailed off, staring at Robin. "What happened?"

"I do not know. He was like before one minute and then he seemed to panic," Starfire said, seemingly close to panic herself. "I calmed him down, but then he…then he…" she was unable to finish. Raven stood there for a moment, then walked towards the bed. She gently placed a hand of Starfire's shoulder. "We'll help him," she said quietly. "But you have to calm down. I'm going to try to go into his mind, see if I can…do anything." Starfire nodded, and Raven closed her eyes, sitting in midair with her legs crossed, chanting the familiar words.

"Azarath Mentrion Zinthos," she murmured, sinking into the familiar state of meditation. She reached out for Robin's mind, entering into it hesitantly. Whatever memories Robin had of the weeks he was gone were muddled and chaotic. Raven was unable to make sense of them, however, she was able to gain a few fleeting images. None of them were good. 'Robin,' she thought, struggling to communicate telepathically. 'What happened?'

No response, though Robin did seem to notice her presence. 'Calm down, Robin,' Raven thought gently, trying to convey a soothing attitude. 'You're safe now.' Though she still received no response, the chaos in his mind seemed to still somewhat, becoming more organized. He was calming down, slowly but surely. Raven withdrew from his mind, opening her eyes and landing lightly on the ground.

Robin's silent tears had ceased, though a few still lingered. He was still trembling as well, but it was much less violent than before. He closed his eyes, as if trying to shake a horrible thought. Judging by what images Raven had seen, there were plenty of those in his mind. Slowly he opened them, and stared at Raven for a brief moment. There was a small expression of gratitude, but that faded quickly, replaced by the ever present wariness and fear he now felt.

"Where are Cyborg and Beast Boy?" Starfire asked a few moments later, unable to bear the depressing silence any longer.

"Gone," Raven replied shortly. "There was a small alert at a store downtown. They left just a few minutes ago."

"Why did you not accompany them?"

Raven hesitated a moment before answering. "Because of you. You've been so closed off lately. You've been letting yourself go. Cyborg didn't think you should be left alone." Starfire looked like she wanted to argue, but then changed her mind, glancing back at Robin, who remained silent. She shifted slightly in her chair, adjusting the way she was hugging him. Immediately, he jerked like a startled animal, heart racing and fists clenching as he practically leapt a foot in the air, already bracing himself for a fight.

"Calm down, Robin," Starfire said, even as she struggled to be calm herself. The Robin she had known never would've reacted like that. "You are safe." Slowly, with her gentle reassurances, Robin began to relax somewhat, hands unclenching. Whatever had happened had left him wary, overreacting to anything that might possibly mean something bad, even a simple action like shifting positions a few centimeters.

Starfire could tell he was still rigid, tense and ready to lash out at a moment's notice. "You are safe," she repeated. "I promise." He met her gaze, and something within those green depths seemed to calm him, and he relaxed a bit more. Like she would a small child after a nightmare, Starfire was constantly talking in low, soothing tones to calm him, barely aware of her words anymore. Slowly, eventually, he lay back down, slipping into a fitful sleep.

Starfire glanced up at Raven, concern clear on her face. "He is not better yet," she said slowly, hating to admit it. Raven once again placed a hand on Starfire's shoulder, struggling to be comforting, which wasn't something that came natural to her at all. "He'll get there," she replied. Starfire nodded, forcing herself to believe that. He would get better. He would be Robin once again…she hoped.

"I'm…I'm sorry, Star," Cyborg said sometime later after they had returned. Starfire glanced up, green eyes narrowed in confusion. "For what?" she asked.

"For...giving up on you," Cyborg muttered, hating to say the words. "For a while there, I thought you might just be imagining things. I should've had more faith in you." Starfire hesitated, then gave him a small smile, seeming much more like herself. "You had every reason to believe he would not get better, that he was still…unresponsive. But you believe me now. That is what matters." Cyborg nodded slowly.

"Thanks, Star." He glanced at the room where Robin was, the door now closed to offer Robin some deserved rest and quiet. "I promise, we're gonna do everything we can to help him." Starfire nodded, eyes darkening as she glanced at the floor, struggling to bury the fears that persistently nagged her. Cyborg laid a gentle hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her. "He'll be okay," he reassured her gently. "He's already come this far. Let's just see what tomorrow brings."

A/N And just to torture you further...something kind of important happens with Robin in the next chapter. Not saying whether it's good or bad...I'm just attempting to create suspense (though I'm not sure it's working...)
