The three made it back to the hospital without incident. They walked though the door and saw Beast Boy sitting on Raven's bed, talking to her. Robin and Cyborg rushed over to see how she was doing. Starfire made her way slowly over to the bed.
"How are you doing Raven? When did you wake up?" Robin asked.
"Better." Raven muttered. She just caught sight of Starfire sulking behind Robin and Cyborg. Starfire was staring at Raven with a malice that was so uncharacteristic to her. It confused and unnerved Raven. The new feelings confused her even more.
"Did you get any food? I'm so hungry, I'll even eat non-tofu things, maybe." Beast Boy was asking.
"No, we didn't find any food. It all just disappeared. I guess that those shadow dudes are hungry, too," admitted Cyborg.
Beast Boy groaned.
A few days later, they had managed to smuggle tons of take-out pizza into the Tower. Raven had gotten well enough to migrate from her bed to the table every once in a while.
They were sitting around the table trying to eat the stale, cold pizza.
"Believe it or not, I'm getting sick of pizza." Robin said, setting his pizza down on the table and staring at it with disdain.
They all stopped eating and looked at their slice.
Beast Boy made a face and stuffed the rest of it in his mouth. "It's all right if you don't concentrate on the taste, but cold pizza is generally bad." he sighed.
"I don't eat pizza." said Raven.
They all looked at her. "Well, you have to eat it sometime, Raven. If you don't, then you'll starve, or you won't have the strength to fight those shadow things if they come back." Beast Boy reasoned.
Raven glared at the slice on the table in front of her. "Couldn't we have plates?"
"Do you want to go out there and get some plates?" Robin asked her.
"We're no safer in here than out there." stated Raven.
Everyone stared at her, digesting the piece of truth she just gave them, their sense of security shattered.
"Then why won't they come and get us here?" Robin asked, recovering.
"Because we are all together, and they want to get us alone, it's easier." said Raven.
"Then why don't we all go out and get the plates together?" asked Cyborg.
"We can't leave Noel here!" shouted Beast Boy.
"I guess that solves it," said Raven. She picked up her slice, glared at the tip of it, then took a nibble.
