I don't know if I mentioned this before, but one of the Erasers that held me down actually shot me in my left arm twice. With 45 cal bullets; not tranquilizers.

I was in pain, hurting, and bleeding. I couldn't get up because it hurt so badly.

I thought I was gonna die and Darian would too.

I've been lying here for almost an hour. I've been pressuring my arm wounds so not as much blood would seep out as usual.

I have faced death before, but not as dramatic as this. Darian may DIE.

Finally, after so long, the rest of the flock and Titans came in. They didn't notice me at first because I was lying in front of the couch and could barely move or speak.

"Dudes! I still can't believe Max took out Dr. Light by herself!" exclaimed Beast Boy.

"Truthfully, he's not a bad guy who would make the Super Villains list," added Raven.

"It was easy to knock him out!" commented Max.

"Hello? I bit his ankle!" complained Total.

"But still; that was AWESOME!" said Nudge, jumping in the air with Starfire. Gazzy whistled in victory and knuckle-touched Cyborg and Robin. Fang smiled.

"Guys; look!" Angel noticed me, finally. She ran to me and saw that I was breathing. The rest of everybody gasped. "Hey, Cyborg, get me the disinfectant and the bandages!" Angel called.

"Iggy, are you all right?" Nudge asked me nervously.

"I'm fine; feel like crap, but OK," I managed to choke out.

"Starfire, put pressure to his wound; I'll wrap it and see if Iggy's hurt anymore," said Cyborg, wiping my gun shot wound with the disinfectant.

Star held my arm and Cyborg wrapped it. He searched me for any other wounds; he found that something heavy fell on my ribs and cracked a few, and my shoulders were sprained.

That's all I remember before I blacked out.

I woke up on the stretcher in the hospital room that I was in when Beast Boy did a number on my face.

"No, I have no idea," said I don't remember who; I think it was Starfire, "Look, he's awake,"

I moaned. I looked at my arm; it was still bandaged but felt lots better.

"Am I fine?" I asked someone.

"Your fine Iggy;" answered Robin, "you just can't leave the Tower until you've fully recovered."

"Jeez, Iggy," commented Fang, "you seriously have a knack for getting hurt!"

My eyes grew wide and my pupils narrowed.

"NO! I CAN'T STAY HERE! DARIAN'S GONNA DIE!" I screamed at everyone.

"Iggy, what happened?" asked Raven sternly.

I told everyone the story, from waking up holding Dare to lying on the ground bleeding to death.

"Ari has Darian." I felt like crying when Holly said that. Beast Boy just turned and left without a comment. He's probably crying in his room.

"We have to get her," I said.

"No, we will get her; you will stay here and rest," corrected Robin.

I sighed. "I'm coming with you," I answered sternly, getting up from the stretcher, "There's NOTHING that can stop me from saving Dare." My ribs were still sore, but I could still fly n' fight! "I could crack open and Eraser's head right now!"

"No; you're staying," he said forcefully.

"I refuse."

"Why? What would you get from saving Darian?"

"I love her,"

Everyone looked at me with wide eyes like I was an idiot. "What? Are the Titans forbidden to love?"

"You're still not going,"

"MAKE ME!"

"Robin! Let him go," Raven was on my side? Cool! "His ribs aren't serious anymore; he's OK."

Robin grunted in disgust. "Fine, he can go; but it's not my fault if he dies."

"Don't worry; I won't!"

Fucking idiot!
