Cyborg let out a deep breath; he reached out to Raven and held her small hand in his. The feeling in his chest was heavy. He looked at his 'little sister' and tears filled his eyes.
"Come on Rae, ya gotta wake up. Who else is going to help me stop BB from getting rid of all our meat products, or help me make adjustments to the T-car, don't act like you don't enjoy it, I know you do." He smiled sadly. The smile faltered. The tear fell and the smile went with it. "God. I can't do this Rae. I can't make jokes and tell you happy things. Not right now. So just wake up. Wake up and I will tell you jokes til you send me to another dimension, just wake up."
He kissed her hand lightly and set it back down. Another deep breath. He turned and walked to Speedy.
"You, you.. you I have so many things I want to say, and do, like kick you off the roof. How could you do this? How could you do it us, to the city, to Karen, to yourself. How could you destroy yourself like this?
I know we aren't as close as we could be, we live in different towers, lead different lives. But we are still family. I don't know if you can hear me, I don't know if you will even care. I care about you. You are my friend and brother. I need you, we all need you. And we need her.
I know my little sister, I know she's running around in your brain right now trying to help you fix what's wrong. You listen to her. You understand? Whatever she says you listen, she tells you to bark like a dog and wear a tutu you do it! Because we need you both back. So listen, and above all else, you protect her. She's in your mind, you own that place, you remember that."
He looked down at Speedy, he glanced back at Raven, he let out another sigh. Something caught his eye. He walked to Raven's monitors, it was there, hardly noticeable, just a small change, but a change still. All of her vital signs, except her heart, where going down, ever so slightly.
He stepped back again. He sat again in the chair between them. He prayed.
