Chapter 27
Should I stay or go?
Nightwing slowly stirred and held his head.
"Where am I?" he asked quietly as he attempted to sit, but his head was pounding and the room started to spin.
"Whoa take it easy man" smiled Cyborg as he grabbed hold of Nightwing and made him lie back down, "your safe, your back at the tower"
"Ughh is everyone ok?" Nightwing asked as he held his head and looked at Cyborg.
"We're fine but the same can't be said about you" Cyborg said sorrowfully as he pulled up a chair next to Nightwing's bed..
"What is it Cyborg?" asked Nightwing as he sat up and looked at his friend, he could see the fear and sadness in his eyes.
"I don't know how to tell you this" Cyborg said softly, desperately trying to hold back his tears.
"Cyborg tell me please" smiled Nightwing as he rubbed his head.
"Your dying man, you have a brain tumour" replied Cyborg, his tears fought through and flowed down his face. Nightwing lay back down, he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"Cyborg please don't tell the others" Nightwing finally said after what seemed like an eternity of silence. Cyborg just looked at him and was about to say something until raven ran into the med lab.
"Are you ok?" she asked as she threw her arms around Nightwing and hugged him tightly. Nightwing winced slightly as he wrapped his own arms around her body.
"Never felt better right Cy?" smiled Nightwing as he looked over at Cyborg, tears had found there way down his face.
"Yeah he's fine" Cyborg said reluctantly as he wiped away his tears and held up his thumb.
"Told ya" smiled Nightwing as he kissed Raven and held her even closer to him.
"Dude how's our local saviour?" smiled Beast boy as he and Starfire entered the room. Nightwing just waved at them as he continued to kiss Raven.
"Come on guys I thin k they need some peace and quiet" smiled Cyborg as he pushed Starfire and Beast boy out of the room and closed the door behind him.
"I thought I lost you again" smiled raven as she broke the kiss and looked into Nightwing's eyes.
"No I'm afraid your stuck with me" smiled Nightwing weakly as he stood up and made raven sway in his arms.
"Oh no what ever will I do" she smiled as she winked at him slyly. Nightwing just smiled again and kissed her once again. He wanted the kiss to last forever but his wish was interrupted as a searing pain shot through his head making him wince slightly. He didn't want raven to worry about him.
"Are you ok?" raven asked again as she noticed Nightwing wince again.
"Just a head ache" smiled Nightwing, he couldn't tell her the truth, "must need some more sleep" he said as the pain started to become even more intense.
"Then straight to bed" smiled Raven as she used her powers to levitate hi into bed.
"Hey I can walk" smiled Nightwing, the pain in his head was becoming unbearable but he put on a brave face.
"Ah ah no talking" smiled Raven as she tucked him under the covers.
"Yes nurse Raven" smirked Nightwing as he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
"Good night" smiled Raven as she kissed him again ad left the room.
"Bye" sighed Nightwing as he fought against the pain and managed to smile to her. Once she left the room Nightwing placed in face in his pillow and screamed. The pain in his head was crippling, he was afraid. This was something he couldn't fight, he was death's door step and he couldn't run away.
Raven continued smiling as she walked into the living and saw Cyborg sitting alone watching the rain fall onto the window.
"Hey Cyborg something wrong?" asked Raven as she stood beside him and noticed that he was crying.
"Huh oh hey raven" smiled Cyborg as he turned and looked at her, the tears where flowing down his face.
"What's the matter?" Raven asked again as she wiped away his tears, making him smile slightly.
"Nothing" replied Cyborg as he returned to watching the rain.
"Cyborg either you tell me or I fish it out of your thoughts" Raven said calmly as she looked at him watching the rain drops run down the glass.
"He's dying" Cyborg said quietly, his voice was barely above a whisper
"Who?" raven asked.
"Nightwing he's dying" Cyborg replied as he walked away from the window but was stopped by raven's arm.
"What do mean 'he's dying' he seemed fine to me, he had a head ache but nothing serious?" demanded raven as she looked at Cyborg, his eyes told her something else was wrong with Nightwing, something you couldn't see.
"he's got a brain tumour Raven" Cyborg said sadly as he pushed past her and headed towards his room. Raven was floored, she couldn't believe it. Nightwing couldn't die, he was to strong. She refused to believe Cyborg but her heart told her that he was telling the truth, she broke down into tears, her world was falling apart piece by piece. She didn't move she just lay on the ground, her tears fell from her face. She was broken, destroyed a shadow of her former self.
Nightwing opened his eyes and slowly climbed out of bed and slipped on his uniform. I'm getting bad at staying here he thought as he took a few pain killers to ease the pain in his head.
"Here we go" he said as he walked through the Tower, looking at each of the rooms he passed.
"So long guy's" he said quietly as he pushed the front door open and prepared to walk away.
"Where are you going?" asked a voice from behind him. Nightwing smiled as he turned round and saw raven standing in the doorway, she was wearing nothing but her dressing gown.
"Raven you don't understand" Nightwing said as he looked at her, she was crying gently.
"Cyborg told me dick" raven said as the wind blew her robe about, "So what do now. Do you stay or go?" she asked as she looked at him, her tears fell silently to the floor.
