Chapter 7: Pondering

A/N: Yo! I updated! REALLY sorry I haven't updated in such a long time! Homework is piling high for me… I'm freer this week. Don't expect stories next week, cause next week, school will start for me… :(

Currently, I'll be focusing on "Trust and Betrayal"… I've decided to stop my other story, "Silent Love", as I find myself bashing characters, and I feel guilty about it, and will maybe continue it when I find some ideas to substitute for the original plan in "Silent Love".

Sorry for the long author's note, just wanted to clarify things up a bit…

Disclaimer: I own Teen Titans (the opposite).

INFIRMARY, 3:48PM

"Dude, you okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine."

Cyborg was treating to Robin's injured arm as Robin leant his head on the wall.

"Does it hurt, Friend Robin?" Starfire asked as Beast Boy had bandaged her ankle.

"No."

"It's a pretty serious injury…" Beast Boy pointed out and Robin turned to face him. "I know… I just feel a little down." He said and he sat down a nearby stool. "Is this about Raven?" Cyborg asked his leader.

Robin frowned. "I think so..." The boy wonder looked at Raven who was lying on the bed. Her eyes were closed and Robin wished he could see her beautiful violet-blue eyes at that instance. He sighed and stared at the floor.

Beast Boy's ears perked as he heard the doorbell sound. "The pizza's here. Wanna bite, Rob?" Robin shook his head. Beast Boy shrugged and went out of the infirmary and Cyborg followed suit.

"Aren't you getting some pizza, Star?" Robin asked the alien princess. Starfire replied, "I will, later." "Why are you staying?" Starfire turned to look at Robin in the face. "Do not worry about Friend Raven, she will be alright. I know she will. She is very strong and I believe she also wishes to see you and all of us right now…"

Starfire hesitated and continued. "Truthfully, I am feeling the guilt." Robin looked up at her. "Why?" "I feel that the cause of Friend Raven to be in the slipping of comas is my fault." Starfire said sadly. "She saved me from my doom…"

"It's not your fault, Star." Robin said as he stood up and placed a hand on Starfire's shoulder. "It's mine." Starfire looked at him. "If I had known better, I would have saved Raven. I thought she would save herself using her powers. So, I thought saving you would be better."

"Robin, it's okay… It was nobody's fault. Nobody had expected Jinx to fire an unexpected attack on us." "Thanks, Star."

Starfire smiled. "I shall go out and join Friend Beast Boy and Friend Cyborg outside for the pizza. Are you coming?" "I'll be out in a moment."

Robin watched as the Tameranian princess went out of the infirmary.

(A/N: I felt Starfire and Robin are friends, and they should have friendly moments like this… I didn't put this in because of anything… I felt Star should give her own opinions and stuff. Right, back to the story.)

He sighed and went to Raven's bed. "Raven, I'm sorry. I should have known. I really want you to wake up now." He said and sat beside her. She still looked as attractive as ever. Robin caressed her face. "I want you to be okay…"

MAIN ROOM, 4:02PM

"Uh, we left a piece for ya." Beast Boy said as Robin entered the main room. "I'm not hungry." He replied and sat down beside Cyborg. Beast Boy shrugged and gobbled up the last slice.

"Won't you feel hungry? I mean, we had lunch at 11!" Cyborg exclaimed. "I just don't have the appetite, that's all… Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow, thanks." Robin answered. Cyborg corked an eyebrow. "Are you still worried about Raven?"

Robin shifted in his seat. "Well, kind of…" "You shouldn't starve yourself over that girl… I told you, she will be fine… She just suffered some injuries and just slipped into a coma… These sort of things happen, Rob." "Cy, you don't understand. My heart aches for her. I truly love her, and I wish for her to be okay at any second of her life…"

"We know, and we think the same way too. None of us wants to see Raven lie on that bed for the rest of her life." Cyborg said. "I'm sure Raven wants to see you not worrying about her and stuff."

Robin nodded and agreed wholeheartedly. "I'll get you some spaghetti." Cyborg said with a smile and proceeded to do so. Robin sighed and leant back on the couch.

INFIRMARY, 8:22PM

Robin was again, sitting beside Raven in the infirmary. He let out a sigh and gazed at his love. "You have got to wake up." Robin thought aloud. He heard the infirmary door slide open.

"You still here?" the green changeling asked his leader as he stepped in. Robin nodded. "Left my watch here. Thought I might as well come in and see how Rae is doing." Beast Boy added as he approached the counter near to Raven's bed and picked up a green watch. "So, how are you feeling?"

"Not so good." Robin said. Beast Boy walked over to him. "She will definitely wake up, I know she will… She always has been physically strong in any way. Just have to believe she can and will." Robin looked up at him. "Thanks…" "Yeah… Uh, so, you wanna play some GameStation now?" "Not this time… Next time, I guess. Sorry."

"It's alright. Besides, Starfire can join me and Cy." Beast Boy said with a laugh. Robin watched him leave the infirmary and pondered on what his teammates had told him in the day.

"I must be strong, and believe Rae will be fine." He thought to himself.

Short chapter, eh? I know… I hope it's not… So what did you guys think of this chapter? Does it suck or it rocks? Please review!
