Chapter 9- Titan
It had been a long three days and Robin had not rested. Star fire peeked into the evidence room from the hallway. The alien princess sighed before walking into the room. "Robin doesn't you think we should wait until friend Rarity wakes up before investigating further" she pleaded. Robin furrowed his eyebrows "whoever Rarity is I doubt she's on our side" the leader said bitterly "She's not stable she could harm any of us" Robin said. A large slap was heard as Star fire's hand met with his face. Robin looked to the ground in shock at his teammate. Star fire's eyes reflected rage "You will not talk of Raven's sister in such a way", the tameranian said coldly. "She is our teammate now, you will treat her as such" Star fire said before walking away angrily.
The main room doors swished open. Cyborg stepped in as Beast boy was busy playing video games. "Yo BB!" The tin man called "where's Raven?" He asked sitting by his friend. "Why should I care" the changeling replied in a mood. Cyborg raised his eyebrow. "Chill out dude I was just asking", Cyborg said raising his hands up in defence before picking up a controller. "This place has been quiet huh" Cyborg began trying to fill the growing silence. "I hadn't noticed", Beast boy said quickly. Cyborg sighed and began playing video games with his friend. Meanwhile Raven was busy healing her fallen sister. The empath's hands and eyes began to glow a pale blue as she placed her hands over her sister's head.
The med bay door swished open to reveal a troubled Star fire. Raven broke out of the trance and turned to her teammate "Yes" the half demon said. Star fire rubbed her shoulders " I thought I should see how our friend is the holding up" she replied softly. Speedy stepped in behind her "I hope you don't mind if I join you too" he said. "Argh!..." Star fire shrieked jumping and shooting star bolts out of her eyes. Raven went wide-eyed holding out her spell book to protect her face. The star bolt vaporised the book to dust. "Great," she said the half demon monotonously. Star fire drew into herself. "It is my bad" she apologised. "Uh...I'm guessing this is bad," Speedy said raising an eyebrow. "Very" Raven replied coldly.
"I won't be able to use a spell to heal her anymore" Raven explained. "And that means?" Speedy pried. "It's up to her now" Raven added. "Isn't there something we can do? On my planet-" star fire began. "The best I can do is to perform small healing incantations but it would take even longer than planned" Raven quickly interjected. Speedy's gaze fell on the sleeping Angel. "I don't think I've ever seen her so peaceful," he said quietly to himself. "Hopefully she is not the too peaceful for too long," Star fire said worriedly. "It's up to her to wake herself up now," Raven said looking at her fallen sister a quick vision spears to the half demon, the fire, her screams and falling. "Friend, are you the okay?" Star fire was snapped out of her thoughts "I need a brake" she replied coldly before leaving the room. "Well that was weird," Speedy said. "Agreed" Star fire replied. Star fire watched intently as Rarity levitated. "Please, friend Roy" the alien teen began. "Yes?" He replied. "What am I to do of friend Robin?" she asked. Speedy raised an eyebrow "what do you mean?" He questioned. "He has been the obsessive lately and I feel he will never fully accept or trust friend Rarity" Star fire explained.
"We'll she beat me up, tied me up and held me hostage for a night and I've forgiven her…I'm sure he'll come around soon for now he's just being the leader" Speedy answered truthfully as he stared at the hybrid. Star fire smiled slightly at this. "What?" He asked. The red head looked to him "oh it is the nothing" she said before walking out of med bay. The teen hero heartthrob took a seat next to Rarity's bed. "Wake up already," he said softly, frowning. 'I am awake' her voice spoke to him again. 'I just can't move, it hurts' she added. Speedy smiled 'I know…' he replied back and thus a silence was born. Speedy grew annoyed at some of her hair that had fallen out of place. Being the perfectionist he was the archer could do nothing else but to right this wrong. He tucked the strand of hair back smiling slightly.
'Did you just touch me?' Rarity asked. 'No' he lied calmly and of course she knew he did. Back in the main room Star fire had finished making her pudding of confusion. Raven sat reading a book and sipping some tea. "Here friend the crunchy yet gooey consistency helps relax the confused mind," the tameranian said. Raven lifted her eyes from her book to the pudding and then back to her book "I think I'll pass" she said calmly. Star fire frowned before taking a large spoonful of the goopy mixture. A tentacle arose from the mixture. Raven went wide eyed. "What Is that thing?" She asked. Star fire slapped it with the wooden spoon "it is the Glorbata squid of my home planet" she said. The tentacle fell back into the bowl "it is a delicacy" she added smiling.
"Right," Raven said closing her book and standing up. "I'd better get back to healing Rarity" the empath stated walking away. She accidentally bumped into beast boy on her way out. This caused her to drop her book "watch where you're going" Raven snapped. "Whatever," Beast boy said coldly to Ravens surprised. 'What's his deal' she thought leaving the main room. Robin had been watching the tape over and over again. He zoomed in on the reflective shadow on the glass analysing it. He noticed a symbol on its head. Meanwhile Speedy was still keeping Rarity company in the med bay. 'You don't have to stay here' Rarity said to him telepathically. "How'd you know I was still here?" He asked out loud.
'I can sense living aura's, remember' she informed. "Yeah, yeah magic and stuff" he teased. The room was silent once more. The archer's hand drew towards the sleeping beauty. He jumped up as the med bay doors opened as Raven walked in. "Your still here?" The gothic teen asked raising an eyebrow. "Yeah, we were just talking" Speedy replied. "Either your crazy or Rarity is communicating with you too," Raven said placing her glowing hands on her sisters head. "I'm pretty sure I'm sane" he answered. "Do you like her?" Raven deadpanned. Speedy went wide eyed and Crimson. "Woah seriously, it isn't like that at all," he said.
"She's nice and all but-" he continued defensively. "Relax It was just a question" Raven cut him off. 'I can still hear both of you' Rarity said in a frustrated tone. "Right", The teen hero said going a darker shade of red if that was possible. The doors swished open and Robin stepped in. "Raven do you know what this symbol means?" The leader asked. "I'm trying to heal Rarity I don't have time to look up a symbol" Raven replied calmly. "Rarity can wait", the boy wonder said sternly. "Relax Robin" Speedy intervened. "We can get answers from Rarity, Raven can just ask her about the symbol" he suggested. Raven rolled her eyes.
"In case you've forgotten my sister is blind I doubt she will know what this symbol means", Raven said. The three Titans began to argue. "You can heal her later", The leader said. "We can ask her for answers" Speedy argued. "It's best if we wait for the answers" Raven joined in. Rarity grew frustrated in her comatose state. 'I'm still here!' The half Angel yelled. They all turned to her surprised. 'That symbol means danger in ancient Sumerian' Rarity began. 'We'll have to wait for the answer of what the danger means' she finished. "Oh…"Speedy said. "How'd you know what the symbol means?" Robin questioned. 'I can sense it' she said.
"I have one question," the leader said walking towards Rarity. "Robin-" Speedy began. "I need to know no matter what you're on our side" The boy wonder cut him off. 'I don't play by the sides' Rarity began 'I will always be a part demon that is what my sister and I cannot change' she continued. 'But no matter what I will do anything and everything in my power to save the innocents, they have done nothing to deserve the hells that are to spread us' Rarity said before the room fell silent "I'm guessing that means she is" Speedy said. "Get her healed. Now" Robin ordered. Raven nodded before going back to healing her sister. "Are you sure you don't like her?" Raven pried. "I'm sure and even if I did-which I don't-I'm not ready for a relationship. Not after her…" he said Raven nodded understanding. It hadn't taken long for all the Titans to learn about speedy's ex-girlfriend Christa."I see" Raven said. Rarity began to groan, holding her head "this is even worse than the time I got hit by a bus" Rarity said sitting up.
"You've been hit by a bus?" He questioned. "It was a long time ago" The half Angel replied. "I'll go tell the others your awake" Raven said standing up. "And you look after her whilst I'm gone" The empath ordered. "I don't need a babysitter," Rarity remarked standing only to fall to the ground. Raven left the room. Speedy lifted Rarity back onto the bed "I think it's best if you stay seated" he joked. Rarity sighed causing a glass of water on the desk to float to her. "You could've just asked me t-" he began "Just because I'm sick doesn't mean I'm helpless" Rarity cut in. Speedy chuckled lowly "you are something else aren't you" he teased. "Speedy?" She called sweetly. "Yes," he replied in a surprised tone. "I-" the blind beauty began only for the doors to swish open.
Star fire held Rarity in a python-like grip. "Uh…" Rarity said. "Friend you are okay!" The alien princess rejoiced. "I shall now proceed to make the pudding of happiness-I'm certain you will enjoy", she said rushing out of the room to get started on her pudding. "Whatever you do don't eat that pudding" Cyborg informed. "Noted" Rarity replied. "Good your awake" Robin said he took Rarity's hand causing the half Angel to turn red. The leader placed a communicator in her hand. "What's this?" Rarity asked. "After some careful consideration I've decided you are officially a Titan", The boy wonder said. "I…" Rarity mumbled. "I can't accept this", she said pushing it back into his hands. Robin was confused "why not?" Cyborg asked. "You guys are all good-great in fact but I haven't done anything to deserve this" Rarity began.
"All I've been is trouble to you for the past few months" she explained. Raven took the communicator from Robin and stood next to Rarity's bed. The gothic teen placed it in her hands again "the speech you made alone was enough to make you deserve it" she said. "But your family now" Raven added. Tears began to build up in Rarity's eyes. She had never had a family, she'd never belonged anywhere. She never existed. "I promise to make you all proud" the blind beauty said softly "are those tears I see" Speedy teased. Rarity wiped them away "no, I'm just allergic to emotion", she said. Raven looked back and noticed Beast boy was missing. "I'll be right back" she informed the others. The half demon looked down the corridors of the med bay. She made her way to the main room but only saw Star fire preparing her second pudding that day. "Star fire have you seen Beast boy?" She asked.
Star fire looked up a powder of some sort smudged against her cheek. "I am the sorry friend but I have not seen him, why do you ask?" Star fire replied. Raven looked around "he wasn't in the med bay before so I was just curious" Raven answered. Star fire tapped her chin with her finger "well perhaps he preparing for his event this week or in his room" The alien princess looked up at her "event?" She said questioningly. "Yes, I recall it is his birthday party did he did not invite you to?" Star fire rambled. Raven went wide-eyed her body turned to stone. 'Of course-his birthday that's what he was inviting me to' she thought. 'He probably thinks I hate him' sadness said. the half demon ran out of the room. Star fire scratched her head confusedly. 'This is all your fault' rage told her. 'Please, not now emotions!' Raven thought. Raven ran down the halls and skid to a halt in front of Beast boys room. The empath brushed invisible lint off of her leotard. She knocked his door three times but there was no answer. 'I guess he is out preparing' she thought. Raven went into her room writing a note before making her way back to beast boys door and sliding it under.
Robin, Cyborg and Speedy had all stayed in med bay. "I wonder what's taking Raven so long," Rarity thought out loud. "I'll go find out," Cyborg said leaving the room. Robin and Speedy nodded in reply. The tin man left after his teammate. "So how does it feel to be a Titan?" Speedy asked. "It's pretty much the same" Rarity replied coldly. "Excited much" Speedy teased. Rarity rolled her unseeing eyes. "I hope you know that training is now mandatory, you'll have to come with us on all our missions-" Robin began. "It's okay boy blunder I think she gets it," Speedy said cockily. Robin smirked at the challenge "well I guess I should leave the two love birds alone" he deadpanned. Rarity went wide eyed and Speedy went Crimson. The leader left quite pleased with his last remark. Speedy scratched his neck "sorry about them" he apologised. "Why are you sorry?" She asked. He shrugged not knowing the answer. Speedy pulled out his pocket mirror and adjusted his hair. Rarity rolled her eyes sensing this. "You don't have to do that around me," she said waving her hand in front of her face to show her blindness. "Well I have to look good for my many fan girls," he said confidently. "Cocky son of a bitch" Rarity muttered. Speedy chuckled slightly.
His laughter sent chills up her spine. "Besides I doubt any of them will see you here" she added. "I guess your right, my biggest fan girl won't see my hair in here" he teased. Rarity's face twisted in disgust "you wish" she said. Speedy smirked drawing closer to her. The doors swooshed open to reveal Cyborg and Star fire. "Friend I have finished preparing the pudding of happiness!" Star fire exclaimed with joy. "Hey, where's Robin?" Cyborg asked. "He's training," Rarity said. They all looked at her. "I sense things remember" she added for which seemed to be the hundredth time. "Right," Cyborg said. "Well, Raven's busy meditating" the half robot added". Rarity nodded. "Friend here you must try," Star fire said putting a spoonful of the purple substance in Rarity's mouth. Rarity went wide-eyed covering her mouth but forcefully swallowed it. Rarity instantly went slightly pale "Hey where trying to make her feel better not poison her," Cyborg said taking Star fire out of the room. "Get me a bucket" Rarity alerted speedy. The archer complied and handed her a bucket. Rarity spat out the content of the pudding. "Wow," she said. Before heaving up some more.
"We warned you," Speedy said patting her back before rubbing it soothingly. Speedy held her hair out of the way for her before cleaning her mouth with a cloth. Rarity blushes slightly at this. "Thanks" she whispered. "Sure, you're part of the team now," he said smiling.
