"Star, are you here?"
Robin knocked at Raven's door and waited for an answer: he was worried for Raven, like everyone in the tower. He turned and looked Cyborg and Beast Boy: he could see clearly the worry on their face, especially in Beast Boy's. He had been the first that had helped Raven and he still had her blood on his hand. The door opened slowly and Starfire emerged from the darkness of the room. Robin looked her eyes to search for an answer of his question: the green eyes of the tamarenean girl were tired and worried, but a light was shining in them, so Robin understood that Raven wasn't in danger. He sighed with relief, and then Starfire spoke:
"Raven is ok now, she just need some rest. When she felt on the ground her old wound opened, but I've already healed it. She'll be fine in few days."
Everyone sighed with relief, especially Beast Boy: he was feeling a little guilty for what happened to Raven.
"She's going to be right, guys!" shouted Cyborg happily, because he too was feeling a little guilty.
"Shut up, fool! She's sleeping!" said Starfire to Cyborg, putting her finger upon her lips.
"Sorry, Star" said Cyborg in a whisper, rubbing is neck with his arm, confused and ashamed.
"Maybe we can go to the hall now, and let Raven rest..."
Everyone nodded his head and Cyborg and Robin started walking towards the hall, Starfire said them she would join them later, and then closed the door. Beast Boy stared at the door, unnoticed. He waited for the courage to knock, and then knocked at the door. Starfire opened the door, red of anger and said:
"Who the hell is now?"
Beast Boy said in a little voice, so little that Starfire had to got nearer his face to hear him:
"Sorry, Star, but I was wondering if... if Raven is awake... I need to talk her..."
Starfire sighed, looking him with a little smile:
"Just give me a second, I'll check" and closed the door.
The door closed, and Beast Boy waited nervously outside. The time has stopped, like his breath: his body was trying to find the energies to move a step beyond that damned door, his heart was pumping so noisily that he could clearly listen it and count his own pulsation. Finally, the door opened again and Starfire exited from the room, leaving the door open, behind her. She smiled to Beast Boy and then said:
"You can enter, but don't tire her!"
"Thanks, Star" said Beast Boy.
Slowly, his brain took again the control of the muscle and forced them to move a step: finally, he was in Raven's room.
In the hall, Robin and Cyborg where sitting on the couch watching dumb Tv programs, when suddenly Cyborg exclaimed:
"Hey Robin, I have to ask ya a thing..."
"Tell me buddy, what do you wanna?"
"Well, I know it isn't the best time to talk about this, but... Can I have a night off this week? I mean, do you remember the guys we met in the park the day my batteries died? They asked me if I can go out with them a day for a pizza..."
After saying that, Cyborg looked down at his feet and waited. Robin stared at him while his mind was working furiously: if he gave a free night to Cyborg, he and Starfire would have be able to stay together for the whole evening... But Raven and Beast Boy? The girl wasn't a trouble at all: she was Starfire's friend, and she rarely leave his room... But Beast Boy? If he knew that he and Starfire had a story, in a second every people around would have know. He sighed: he had to risk.
"I think you can go out for a night... We'd be able to face every villain even if we're four..."
"Really? Oh thanks guy! You're great!" said the metal man embracing him.
"Right, you're happy, but stop squeezing me!"
"Oh sorry dude" apologised Cyborg, realizing in that moment that he had lifted up his friend and he was squeezing him like a stuffed animal.
In her room Raven tried to lift up from the bed, keeping an hand on her wound and looking Beast Boy:
"Hi, B.B. what's going on?" she said trying to smile.
B.B looked her and felt a sudden pain in his heart: she was suffering, but she didn't wanted to show her emotions, like usual. But that smile? She was smiling to him...
"Hey... I was wondering how you're feeling today... And to apologise for have hurted you yesterday... Hey, you smiled! You're really sick!"
Raven stopped for a second, worried: a smile? She had always been able to control her emotions, why now a little fugitive smile had escaped from the defence she had built? What she had to do now? Try to hide it, or just leave it where it was? It was too late for everything: she just left it, trying to gave it no sense.
"Thanks for your visit... I... I'm feeling well today..."
"Good... I'm glad of hearing that..."
"And don't worry, it wasn't your fault at all..."
Silence fall between them, leaving them nothing to do but to smile each other. They both know that in that silent long discourses were talked and they were turning around the same old question: will we go out together? They reached at the same time the same question and they looked each other waiting the other's move, then Beast Boy exclaimed:
"Would you like to..."
"Yes..."
"You haven't let me finished the phrase..."
Raven smiled:
"For some things I don't have to read the others mind... I have only to guess..."
"So... when you wanna go out? You have preferences about the place?"
"I think we can go out this friday..."
"Friday is perfect for me... Pizza?"
"Pizza..."
And a sweet silence fall between them, leaving the discourses to the smiles.
