"What happened to her!?" A shocked nurse asked BB as he uncovered Raven's freezing body.
"Someone pushed her off of the Titans' Tower." The green boy answered shortly. The nurse felt for a pulse in Raven's wrist and neck.
"We will get her into intensive care immediately." The nurse said to him and received a nod from BB. She said something into a walkie-talkie and a minute later two more nurses came with a portable bed. They carefully placed Raven's fragile body on the stretcher and rolled her off with BB on their heels.
"I'm sorry, hon, but you can't come back into the ICU until everything is checked and steady." One of the nurses said to BB.
"Try and stop me. I'm not going to leave her with no protection. I won't leave her side." He said fiercely, baring his teeth showing two fangs and growling, making the nurse's eyes widen and nod.
"I will allow you, just because...nevermind." The nurse said, shaking her head wearily. BB hurried up a bit and placed his hand on the side of Raven's cold face.
"Don't worry Raven. It will be okay." He said quietly, secretly, even though the nurses could hear him fine.
"What's her name, dear? We need to assign her a room here." Another nurse said.
"Raven, she's one of the Teen Titans, along with me." BB said carelessly, keeping his hand on the side of her face.
"Are you two...well, are you a couple?" One nurse asked gently.
"You could say that, but your lucky she's not awake or you'll probably be lifted into the air by now." BB said, with amusement at the look on the nurses' faces. He added, "But her powers and joints haven't been too well ever since one of the fights that we got into a few days ago. This one guy attacked her mind and strained her nerves, or something, and shut off her powers...temporarily."
The nurses looked relieved. "She wouldn't kill us if we heal her up, will she?" one of them asked timidly.
"Nah, she'll appreciate it. If her powers start working, she can heal herself." BB said. "Some little girl possessed her and made her jump off the side of the building, and when she reverted back to normal, her powers were useless, and that crazy little girl held me back so I couldn't save her." BB said without caring if the nurses were listening or not.
"That is truly peculiar, son, because there are two more patients here that are in the same condition as this girl, and a witness said the same story." A nurse told him. BB looked at her with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. She smiled.
"And since y'all are the Teen Titans, then you might know the other two patients. Their names are...Slade and Matsuro." The nurse whispered the names and received a gasp from BB.
They reached the ICU and wheeled Raven inside. The three nurses and BB brought her over to a bed in the corner of the room and gently and tenderly laid her on the bed. One of them placed an IV into her hand and hooked it up to a bag on a pole with clear liquid inside it.
"Even though she is unconscious, she needs her nutrition." One nurse said to the curious look BB was giving the bag. He nodded slightly and looked at Raven. Another nurse hooked up a machine to her chest that monitored her heartbeat. Surprisingly, it was beating, but only slightly.
"She's breathing! Raven!" BB started sobbing as he said this. He grasped one of her hands in his own and started to pray silently.
'Please let Raven be alright. Only God can save her now, please let her be okay. Let her live. I'd do anything for her. Please God, let Raven live.'
The nurses crowded at the far side of the room and watched him sadly. The three nurses told them what happened.
"He must really love her, bless his little heart." One nurse whispered. Another one nodded and wiped her eye with a tissue.
"It's so sad, he had to be there to see it." Another nurse said. "And the girl was defenseless, bless her soul, I'm glad he brought her right to us or she would be suffering frostbite from these conditions we've been having."
"And to make the situation sadder, this happened right on Christmas day." A younger nurse said and sighed deeply. The others looked at them again to see BB with tears running down his face and holding Raven's hand.
"Let us leave him to his privacy with this girl. I'm sure she will be alright, just set the cameras so we can keep an eye on the rest of the patients." One nurse said and walked over, without any notice from BB, and shut the four-poster curtains around Raven's bed, then left.
BB stood up and leaned over Raven. He kissed her lightly on her cold lips, then sat back down. What seemed like a few hours later, a nurse came and lightly tapped him on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry to disturb you hon, but you should probably go home and get some rest. You can come back tomorrow in the morning, before visiting hours if you bring this." The nurse handed him a card that read: 'Special Visitor'. She smiled. "I had the manager get this specially for you. Tell me, did you love this girl? I mean, not just like, but love?" She asked gingerly.
BB sighed and stood up. "I believe I did. I don't know about anything anymore though, I'm just so mixed up."
The nurse placed her hand on his shoulder and led him to the exit.
"I can take it from here, thank you." BB nodded and turned into a polar bear, charging through the double doors to the snow filled world. The nurse just stared after him.
At the Tower, Robin and Starfire were watching TV, while Cy was building a model airplane he got from BB. BB walked in, in his human form, and glanced around the room. He then walked upstairs to his room and shut to door, sealing himself from the world's watchful eyes. BB flung himself onto his bed and almost instantly fell asleep.
In BB's dream: BB and Raven were standing in his room, blissfully making out, when suddenly the little girl comes and grabs Raven away. She transports them all to a dungeon like room, with only a few candles burning for light. The little girl chains Raven to a wall and BB is helpless, held still by her powers. The little girl takes out a knife and slices Raven's cheek. The blood pours over the girl's hand and she laughs evilly. She slices the skin under Raven's jaw and laughs more.
"I know you are enjoying this thouroughly, Beast Boy. You like to see her blood pour. I'll let you deliver the final blow." The little girl says as she releases him. He is possessed, and takes the knife out of her hands unwillingly. The knife jabs itself into Raven's throat as Raven sputters, with blood pouring out of her mouth, her last words to him.
"I love you, Beast Boy." Then she takes one last breath and dies. BB reverts back to his normal self and unchains Raven as the little girl laughs and disappears.
Cradling her body gently as the blood washes over his hands, BB kisses Raven's bloodstained mouth.
A surge of energy rushes through her body and Raven wakes up, the wounds magically heal. She kisses BB back, slipping her tongue into his mouth, savoring his sweet taste. She massages his back with her hands. BB took off her cape, marveling at how tight the rest of her costume was. His hand roamed over her back and found a zipper, pulling it down slowly. Raven hissed as the cold air hit her bare back, then quickly adapted to it. She shrugged the rest of the costume off, and took of the shirt of BB's. He undid the clasp in her bra and continued to kiss her even as the small intimate item dropped into Raven's lap.
"Is this too soon?" Raven whispered as she broke away from him. BB shook his head and looked at the small smile that formed over her mouth.
Then BB woke up. He was panting and covered with sweat. He closed his eyes for a minute and then jumped out of his bed. It was morning already as he walked to the bathroom.
Splashing his face with water, BB talked to himself. "Why did I have to dream that? Of all things, why that? Not that it's a bad thing, but I have to save Raven!" BB dried his face and hurried out of the bathroom into the living room, only to see Cy sprawled and snoring on the floor, and Star and Robin were cuddled in the corner of the couch sleeping.
BB rushed out the door and turned into a polar bear once more and made his way to the hospital. (A/N: he turned into a bird to get over the water, btw)
He panted and showed the clerk the special visitor card and ran to Raven's ICU bed. Her heart rate had gone up quite well, and some of the warmth had returned to her skin.
Holding her hand once more, BB kissed her lips again. At that small movement, her heart rate increased by 14%, and she moved slightly. She opened her eyes just a slit, and felt something on her lips.
"Please get better, Raven." Raven heard someone say. Then she saw green. A green person. Beast Boy!
Sitting up slightly, Raven tried to reach her hand up to her head, but felt something on the back of her hand.
"Raven? You're alive!" BB gasped and caught the defenseless girl in an excruciatingly tight hug, making her scream in agony. BB gasped and let go of her, easing her back flat back onto the bed. Raven was panting and using one hand to lightly clutch her ribcage.
"What's wrong?" BB asked with a worried expression. Raven looked up at him.
"My ribs...they hurt. So does my back. Please, get me a nurse." She whispered painfully. BB nodded and hurried out of the cubicle of her bed. A few minutes later a nurse hurried into the cubicle.
"I'm glad you're awake, hon, so tell me, what hurts? Tell me everything that you feel, like nausea, pains, dizziness, etcetera." The nurse took out a notepad.
"I can't feel my legs or my left shoulder or arm, my back is in excruciating pain, as well as my ribs, my throat feels swollen, and I feel dizzy." Raven whispered while watching the nurse nod and check off things on the notepad.
"Is that all, dear?" The nurse asked and Raven nodded very lightly and watched the nurse scurry off, and BB came back in.
"I'm so sorry, Raven." BB said, looking down.
"It's okay, but I want to see the rest of the team. Can you bring them here? I don't know if I'm going to be okay or not, so I need to see them." Raven whispered with her eyes closed, listening to the steady beeping of the machines.
"I'll bring them here." BB said, kissing Raven on the forehead, then walking off to the hospital phone. Raven smiled slightly and relaxed as much as possible into the sheets of the hospital bed.
Beast Boy picked up the phone and dialed the number to Titans' Tower. Robin answered.
"Hello, Titans' residence." Robin said as if he had been practicing.
"Rob! It's Beast! Bring everyone to the hospital on Raven's request, she's awake and wants you guys here. When you come, tell the clerk lady that you want to see Raven in room two fourteen." BB said.
"Will do, thanks Beast Boy. We'll be coming!" Robin said then hung up, so did BB.
BB hurried back to Raven's unit and sat in the chair by her bed. He reached his hand forward and rubbed the back of his hand along her forehead, relieved to feel that it was warm and not icy like she was before.
"I'm still awake, you know." Raven whispered quietly.
"Yeah, I know." BB replied. He continued the rub her forehead absentmindedly.
A nurse bustled in and startled BB.
"Honey, I need you to come with me to do some X-rays. She'll be back in a few minutes, don't worry, dear." She added at the look BB was giving her.
He watched ruefully as Raven was wheeled out of the room. A few minutes later, Raven was not back, but the Titans came in. Robin in front of the group, as usual.
"Where's Raven?" He said. BB looked at him.
"She had to go get some X-rays. She'll be back in a few minutes." BB said. As if on cue, the nurse wheeled Raven back in with her back propped up. Raven smiled lightly as she saw her friends.
"Hello, Raven!" Starfire greeted her cheerfully.
"Hi, Rave." Cy said with a movement of his hand.
"Hi, Raven." Suchi said with a smile.
"Hey, Raven." Robin said.
"Beast Boy, both of my legs are broke, my shoulder is crushed, I have six broken ribs, one of my spinal bones is busted, and I have a slight throat infection, so I won't be able to talk normally for a week or two." Raven informed them all in a whisper.
Suchi gasped. "Oh my God, Raven, that's terrible!"
"It'll be okay." Raven replied.
"When's the casting?" Robin asked her.
"In two hours. They want to wait until I'm settle, my friends have visited, and I regain all of my body heat."
"Raven, you need a body guard, girl!" Cy said.
"It wasn't my fault, actually, that I fell. It was...My cousin. She has that ability to possess people. She has wanted to get her revenge on me ever since I denied being my father's apprentice. She was my father's...little helper. Her name was Sacona. She was my father's brother's daughter, the reason why she has her powers and everything." Raven whispered to inform the team.
"That little girl is pure evil." BB said flatly. Raven slightly nodded.
"When do you think you'll be out of here?" Robin asked her.
"Maybe once I settle and my casts are in place and everything." Raven replied. "But I have an idea. Can someone call a nurse for me, please?"
Robin got a nurse that was dusting something in the hall outside of the ICU.
"What do you need dear?" The nurse asked Raven.
"Can I get my casts now, then go home with my friends...excuse me, family?" The rest of the Titans smiled at this.
"Sure honey, but these casts will be painful. And you will have to take several medicines per day." The nurse said with a smile. She wheeled Raven into a different room, and allowed the Titans to follow at Raven's request.
In the casting room, Raven was sitting with supports and her legs in metal cases. She was biting her lip and her right hand was gripping the seat tightly.
(A/N: I have no idea how casts are made, so I'm making something up. Don't sue me!)
"Raven, are you alright?" Starfire asked gently. Raven smiled at her.
"Yeah, but it hurts. Probably because my legs are in so much pain anyway. But thanks anyway, Starfire." Raven whispered, as Star smiled.
About an hour later, Raven was in a wheelchair with an odd cast on her left shoulder and casts on both of her legs, and a very stiff cast-type- thing around her middle, covering her ribs. BB was pushing the chair and Suchi was carrying the bag full of medicines and items.
When they reached Titans' Tower, Raven asked to be removed from her wheelchair. BB picked her up and placed her in his lap and sat on the couch.
"Look up." He whispered. Raven looked up and gasped as much as her broken ribs would let her. The mistletoe was directly above them. Raven looked back at BB and smiled slightly and he placed his lips on hers.
BB placed her arms around his shoulders and placed his own on the small of her back. He felt her lips open up for more contact, and he gladly took the invitation. The rest of the Titans smiled as they watched the romantic scene, as Suchi took a picture, making sure to get the mistletoe in the shot.
BB broke away and removed Raven's arms as they both smiled.
"Merry Christmas, Beast Boy. Everyone!" Raven whispered with a smile. Suchi and Cy bowed in mockery with giggles from Suchi, Star smiled widely and Robin grinned. BB was already smiling.
"Merry Christmas to you too, Raven." He said.
