He Saved Me
Raven's POV
Thoughts
"Speech"
Chapter 10:
I felt Robin moving beside me but I was too tired to open my eyes. He placed a kiss on my forehead pulled me closer before he fell back asleep.
I was wandering the halls of the tower. "Angel" "Robin?" I called. "Robin where are you?" I walked around. I knew I was in the tower but I couldn't figure out where. How the hell am I lost, I LIVE here for crying out loud! "Angel" Robin. He was close, I could feel it. I started running letting my heart lead the way. I passed the training room, then Cyborgs room. WAIT! Cyborgs room and the training room aren't on the same floor? How is that possible? "Angel, where is my Angel" Robins voice came again only it sounded closer this time. I started running again not caring that things didn't make sense and decided that I would figure it all out later. AFTER I had found Robin and was in his arms again. "Robin, I'm here I'm coming!" I called. Rounding a corner I stopped short. "Raven, my Angel what took you so long?" Robin asked hacking up blood lying in a puddle of blood on the floor. "Robin, what happened? Here let me help you" I said kneeling down next to him. He shook his head 'no' at me. "It was Slade" he coughed before continuing. "Don't bother Angel" "Why not you're hurt and need help!" I said hoarsely, I knew what he was going to say but I didn't want him to say it. "It's too late for me. I need to go" he coughed up more blood. "No. I don't want you to go" I felt like crying. "You need to let me-" he didn't finish his sentence. He's gone!
I woke up in tears in Robins arms. He sat up pulling me closer. I was so cold; he grabbed a blanket and draped it around my shaking figure. I threw my arms around Robins neck and cried into his shoulder. Why are you crying you idiot, he's ok he's right here! I thought realizing that I could lose him at any time. Anything or anyone like Slade could take him from me. "Cy what's the temp in here?" I could feel Robin shaking slightly. "Um bout 82 why" answered the tin man. "I think Raven's sick" he told them taking me, still whimpering and crying, in his arms and made his way to the door "I'm taking her to the med lab" he announced. He spoke quietly to me on the way there. I wasn't listening to what he was saying. Just the sound of his voice, it helped me to know that he was still here and still ok. He wasn't hurt or sick. Robin was perfectly fine. He was worried about me; I didn't need to worry about him going anywhere. He gently placed me on the bed but my arms were still looped around his neck and I wouldn't let go. "Rae, I need to get you a blanket. You're freezing" Robin said softly. I didn't want to but I gave in and let my arms fall into my lap. Robin pulled out a big warm looking blanket and threw it on top of me before getting under it with me in his arms.
When Cyborg got to the med lab he gave Robin a cup of coffee and started hooking me up to machines. I was still shaken from my dream and didn't want Robin to leave my sight. Robin got off the bed to make room for Cyborg. "God she's freezing" exclaimed Cyborg as if Robin hadn't said the same thing downstairs. "Robin do you know what these are from" he asked pointing to the cuts I had made on my arm. Robin put down his coffee, put another blanket on me and grabbed my hand as if Cyborg hadn't spoken to him. "What are these from?" Cyborg asked me. I looked away from him, wiping some tears off my cheek with the back of my free hand. "Raven, what are they from?" Cyborg asked more sternly. He tightened his grip on me when I tried pulling away. "Let go" I said softly. "Cyborg" Robin's voice warned. "What are these from? They look like they were deep" Cyborgs voice was full of concern as he loosened his grip just a tad. He didn't want to hurt me. "They were" I looked up at Robin and he sat on the edge bed with me. "What happened?" Cyborg asked again with more worry when the tears began to come faster. "I cut myself" I said not meeting anyone's eyes. I knew what I would see and I didn't want it. "Why Rae?" Cyborgs emotions were radiating off him. Worry, anger, confusion, the list went on and on. I just shook my head, leaning more on Robin than before. I don't want him to know anymore. He doesn't need to know anymore. "I don't wanna talk about it" I said quietly so that I was barely able to be heard."Raven, why would you cut yourself?" Cyborg asked again. "Just let it go Cy, she won't do it again. I won't let her" Robin told Cyborg squeezing my hand lightly.
Slowly but surely my tears were subsiding. "I'm gonna go get you some herbal tea Rae, it will help to warm you up" The Boy Wonder said. "P-please don't go" I said with a few fresh tears falling. I felt so pathetic, acting like this. "Ok I won't go; I'll stay here with you if that's what you want." Robin said wiping the tears away. He went to stand with Cyborg and asked "What's wrong with her" I wish I knew… "According to this, nothing, she's just cold" said a stumped Cyborg. I could feel Robins eyes on me, he was studying me. I was fingering one of the cuts on my wrist. I wish I had remembered that I couldn't heal wounds that I cause to myself. "What should we do" worry laced its way into Robins voice. "Just try and keep her warm. That's 'bout all we can do" replied Cyborg as he unhooked me from the equipment. "Come on Angel, how does a nice hot bath sound?" Robin asked taking me into his arms. "You don't have to carry me Ro-" but I was interrupted as a yawn escaped. Chuckling he said "It's fine" and started for his room.
When they got to Robins room Raven was asleep in his arms and to his surprise she felt…normal. Quietly shutting the door behind him he laid Raven down on the bed. Since she was peacefully sleeping he decided to take a quick shower but left the bathroom door cracked so he could keep an eye on her.
When I woke up, I sat up rubbing my eyes. I was in Robins room. The horror of my dream ad faded, I was about to flop back on the bed when Robin come out of the steamy bathroom in nothing but a towel. THAT got my attention. When he saw me he came over smiling and kissed me. "Have a nice nap?" he asked moving to his closet to find some clothes. I was glad because it was hard to think looking at him like this. "Yeah actually I did" I had just a hint of a smile playing upon my lips. "I think I'm going to take a shower" "Sure. Meet me downstairs when you're done" Robin said walking to the door. "Ok, I'll be down soon."
I came downstairs just as everyone else was filling their plates with spaghetti. "Perfect timing Raven" called Cyborg from his spot on the couch. Making myself a plate I went and took a seat next to Robin on the couch. Finishing in record time Beastboy and Cyborg put their plates on the coffee table and continued the videogame. After everyone finished their food Robin got up and grabbed all our dishes bringing them into the kitchen. Even though I couldn't see his eyes I knew he was planning something. I closed my eyes and rested my head against the back of the couch, wondering what the Boy wonder had up his sleeve. His emotions were buzzing with excitement. I considered reading his mind but quickly dismissed the idea. That would be invading his privacy. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.
