AN: I know it's a short one, sorry. This weekend promises you at least two more chapters, they are written already they just need to be typed up when I have time on Saturday. This is just a little taste to tide you over. :)

Chapter 13

It had been a week since Speedy and Raven had fallen into their duel coma. As much as Titans west hated it, they had to return to Jump City. Raven had to stay in Steel, after a lot of debate and even more arguing all the titans agreed that Cyborg would be allowed to stay, at least for now.

Robin had wanted to stay but knew that was not possible, there were too many criminals in Jump who would take advantage, Beast Boy and Starfire had also wanted to stay but they were needed. In truth Robin knew they needed Cyborg back in Jump as well, but he couldn't leave Raven behind without one of the team to watch over her. This way he could get updates every day.

Starfire had only visited the two sleeping heroes once, she found it difficult to be in the room with them, Speedy still looked deathly and Raven began to show signs of weakening. She came in to say goodbye and offer her cheery words of support, but found herself over whelmed with emotion and quickly left.

Beast Boy had visited a couple times, though he barely cast an eye at Speedy. He was angry, hurt, and felt betrayed. He did not know how to handle these feelings that conflicted so strongly with his thoughts of sadness, helplessness, and pity. He wanted to help his friends; he wanted them to wake up. He just wanted them all to be better. He still felt the loss of Tara deeply, it had been so many years and she was alive and free from the stone, but the Tara he knew and loved was gone. He didn't think losing another friend was something he could handle. He begged Raven to wake up, to get better. He turned to leave and looked back at Speedy.

"I don't want to lose you either. Take care of him Raven." He said softly before leaving the room.

Robin was the last to make his goodbyes, he checked all the monitors, their vitals, and he felt their pulses. He had already talked to Cyborg about the small changes in Raven's vitals and told him to keep an eye on them. He stood above Speedy's bed and looked down at his friend.

"I don't know what to say Roy; we've known each other a long time. We've been through a lot, been best friends, enemies, partners, brothers. I wasn't there last time, but I remember how hard you fought to stay clean. I don't know what happened, I don't know how you got here, but I know you, I know you will fight. You have to fight. We're all here for you, to kick your ass and back you up. Just don't give up."

Robin punched Speedy's shoulder lightly and turned to Raven, he pulled a chair close to her and sat down, he took her hand in his and held it. He looked at her carefully for a little while; he reached out and touched her cheek lightly.

"We miss you, I miss you Raven. I need you. You are my second in command and my best friend." His voice wavered slightly. "What can I say that I haven't said already? We need you, come home, wake up? I've said all of that."

He was quiet again, he held her small hand in both of his now, his sadness was severe, but a smile spread across his lips as he looked at her delicate hand. He bent forward and kissed her hand softly.

"Help him Rae, help him and come home to me, there is something I want to say. But I won't say it until I can see your eyes again." He whispered with a smile.

He placed her hand carefully back at her side and stood. He put the chair back against the wall between them and turned away. He didn't look back as he said his parting words.

"See you soon, both of you."
