She heard screams. Terra rushed into the infirmary just in time to see what was going on. Her friend was lying on the cold ground, unconscious.
"Great friends you both are!" she said madly at Robin and Starfire as she checked the Goth's pulse… it was weak… really weak. Cyborg and Beast Boy entered the room shocked.
"What happened to her?!" the half robot asked worriedly
"Why don't you ask the boy blunder?" she replied angrily "We better take her to her room."
Cyborg carried Raven to her bedroom followed by Terra and Beast Boy.
"So what happened? Slade?" the green boy asked silently.
"He cheated on her… I entered the infirmary just when she saw them… I can't believe they could do this to her…" Terra told them annoyed.
"I can't believe it either…" Beast Boy said.
"Poor Rae… after all she went through lately…" Cy added but he was cut by Raven.
It was a weak groan, a plead. A single word came out of her lips. Robin. Tears were streaming down her pale cheeks. Tears full of pain and angst. She was sobbing softly as she repeated his name like a chant, a feeble begging.
"No, please Robin, don't" she evoked softly
Terra couldn't hold her tears any more. She hugged her boyfriend and Beast Boy hugged her back. Cyborg stormed out of the room, rapidly.
"Where are you going dude?" the green changeling asked
"To look for the Boy Wonder, where else? That spike head needs some explanations to give…" he said, but as soon as he stepped out of the door he met him.
"What were you thinking yo'? She was delicate, you knew that man! She's almost dying over here while you and Starfire are having a good time!" Cyborg told his leader angrily.
"I'm sorry… it wasn't m-" Robin's explanations were interrupted by the heavy sound the heart-beat reading machine (sorry I don't know how u call that thing in English) produced. Her heart rates were off the chart, Robin entered the room as fast as he could only to see the beating drop and disappear into a straight horizontal line.
"NO!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. "CYBORG QUICK! THE REANIMATOR! (lol again… the things doctors use.. they rub one against the other and then place it on the patient's chest, giving an electric discharge)
Cyborg rubbed the metallic plaques against each other and placed them on Raven's chest… the first try… nothing… the second…nothing! The third one… Robin was about to give up. Slowly the lectures on the machine began to appear again…Raven opened her eyes widely and found herself in the arms of a masked boy… she could recognize Beast Boy, terra, Cyborg… Who the hell was that guy?
"um… guys… who is he?" she asked weakly pointing at Robin.
"I… I am Robin… you leader, your best friend… Is this a joke?" he said nervously "IT'S ME!"
"I don't know who you are… Redding..." she answered back truly.
"I'm Ro… Robin! Please remember! It's me" he said as his eyes were filled with tears.
"I don't know what's wrong with me… Robin… please don't... don't cry"
"She might have some type of amnesia, a sequel of the shock…" Cyborg suggested
"It's my entire fault… it's my entire fault" the leader repeated out loud.
"Maybe it's a transitory effect…" Terra said calmly as her friend fell asleep.
"At least this way she will not remember the trash that you are" Beast Boy said rudely.
"BB I don't think this is the right moment to begin a fight". Cy suggested.
"Beast Boy is right, I don't deserve her" Robin gave up
"Why don't you guys go and eat something while I keep an eye on her, while you go and rest… then we can switch places" Terra recommended. The three boys agreed. Beast Boy and Cyborg left the room. Robin approached Raven's bed and he removed a lock of hair from her face and he kissed her on her forehead.
"You really do love her, don't you?" the blonde girl asked him softly
"Yeah, but I always realize it quite late, when she is on the verge of leaving me…"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
After a few days without seeing Raven, Robin continued to feel sorry about what had happened. Slade didn't return, all the tower was enjoying their free time, although they were still worried about Raven's memory. The doctors said that it would be great if Raven left the room and that she was able to see Robin.
"Robin… there's something I remember about you" she said to him while they were walking by the old library.
"What do you remember Rae?" he asked filled with enthusiasm.
"I… I remember you were the one who rescued me… who brought me back to life after Trigon came to the Earth… yes you were the one who helped me!"
"That's pretty good… it's getting dark… we should return to the tower"
"Robin…"
"Yes?"
"I wasn't like this before… I wasn't very talkative, I didn't laugh, and I didn't even smile. I have a connection with someone, I can feel it… do you have something to do with that?"
"uhm… I" he stuttered "I think we better get going" without talking to each other again, they returned back to the tower. As soon as they stepped in the tower, a rush of clear images fell into Raven's mind. She ran, scared, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Raven!" he screamed as he ran after her, it was too late; she had entered her room already. Robin laid his back on her door, defeated. His was tired; he left his body fall to the floor. He fell asleep. He suddenly heard a noise.
"Raven?" he said trying to focus on the face that was in front of his "What's th-STARFIRE!"
The Tamaranian princess was face to face with him. Their noses were nearly touching… all of a sudden, she kissed him. Robin instantly pushed her away.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" he said. She disappeared. (Wow that was random) . robin knocked on raven's door. She didn't answer… oh fuck… did she see them? He knocked again and as he heard no answer he kicked the door open. All that was left in her room was a little piece of paper that levitated softly.
Robin:
I finally remembered. I'm sorry for being a burden for you and your team.
Goodbye.
Raven.
