YAY! MORE!!
I'm glad to see at least two reviews were sent in for my last chapter. I'm going to respond to them now cuz I want to.
TheDudeLordOfFantasy: Yeah, I did ask for what you wanted. Surprisingly, most of the things you mentioned were already ideas I had in mind. Great minds think alike, huh? You'll probably get most of the stuff you mentioned, but just for a special hidden reason Raven's gonna be there too. Just because.(
AntimatterManticore: No, I don't do swearing. In fact I get really ticked off when people put swearing in their fics just for the fun of it. The worst I ever get is maybe having someone say: "What the He--?!?" I don't feel like typing out that particular word right now, though I believe that it is in fact a place and not a forbidden word. In the Bible it has so many references to that place that I just don't believe it's swearing to mention it. However, for the sake of any naïve little children who may want to read this, I won't get any worse than PG. And PG is just for moderate violence.
(YES, I AM A CHRISTIAN AND BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED FOR MY SINS! IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS THIS(I REALLY FEEL UP TO ARGUING MY BELIEFS RIGHT NOW)E-MAIL ME AT: The_White_Shadow@hotmail.com.)
Newayz, That's all the reviews I got, but at least they had something for me to reply to! I like to talk with people( So anyway, ON WITH THE CHAPTER!!!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Raven walked into the med.-lab with a breakfast tray and found Robin asleep in the chair beside the hospital bed. She walked over to him, set the tray down on a table next to him, and tapped his shoulder. Robin woke with a start and jumped out of his chair, but relaxed and sat back down when he saw that it was just Raven coming to bring him breakfast and relieve him from his post.
"Good morning, Robin," she said to him, trying to be cheerful.
"Good morning, Raven." He replied as he stretched and rubbed the sleep away from his eyes.
"Did you sleep well?" Raven asked.
"As well as one could possibly sleep when they're in a cold hard plastic chair with no padding or blanket," Robin answered.
Raven smiled a teeny tiny smile and took the mug of herbal tea off of the breakfast tray, then handed the tray to Robin. Robin examined the food on the tray.
"Who cooked?" he asked.
"I think Cyborg did," Raven replied, "Nothing is made out of tofu or soy."
"Good," Robin said as he started to dig in.
"Unless I grabbed the wrong tray..." Raven said with a devilish smirk on her face.
Robin stopped eating and looked at her.
"Just kidding," she said as she chuckled a little.
Robin looked back at the food and smiled. 'She's been hanging around Beast Boy too much,' he though to himself.
Raven stood behind him as he finished his breakfast and watched the boy in the bed. He was lying so still that if the heart monitor wasn't hooked up to him telling her his heart was beating, she would have thought he was dead. Even his breathing was silent. She walked over and made sure he WAS breathing. He was. She saw Robin eat his last waffle in one bite and drink the rest of his milk. Robin put his cup back in the tray, grabbed the sides of the tray, stood up, and began to walk out of the med.-lab toward the kitchen.
Then the boy on the bed started to stir.
"Robin," Raven said, "He's waking up!"
Robin immediately set the tray on the nearest table and ran back to the bed. The boy on the bed opened his eyes slowly and groaned.
"Where am I?" he asked.
"You're in the Teen Titans Tower," Raven replied.
The boy on the bed sat up slowly.
"What's your name?" Robin asked him.
The boy seemed somewhat confused. He gathered his thoughts, remembered who he was and what had happened, then answered, "Sparrow."
His voice was low-pitch, monotone and raspy like Raven's, and his dark green eyes looked dazedly from Raven, to Robin, then back to Raven. He examined her for a few seconds, then examined Robin for a few seconds.
"You're the teen titans, right?" he asked.
Robin nodded his head.
"Robin and Raven, right?" he asked again.
This time Raven nodded.
"And I must be in your medical lab, right?" he asked again.
This time they both nodded.
"How did I get myself into this mess?" he asked himself as he examined his arm, which was now in a cast. Robin looked at Raven and she said to him telepathically, "He sure seems to know a lot about us, as well as exactly what's going on."
"Where do you live?" Robin asked.
"I don't live anywhere," Sparrow replied, "I travel. I go wherever the wind takes me."
Robin glanced at Raven, who seemed to be thinking the same thing he was.
"Listen," Sparrow said, "thanks for all of your help, but I'd better get going."
"What?" Robin exclaimed.
"You can't leave yet, Sparrow," Raven explained, "You need more time to heal."
"But I..." Sparrow protested.
"No buts," Robin said, "Your health comes first."
Sparrow gave up and laid back down on the bed. Robin and Raven left the med.-lab and walked toward the entertainment room to find the others.
Sparrow watched them go. As soon as they were gone, he held his hand up to his ear and said: "Phase One complete, Master."
"Good," Slade's voice said in his ear, "Now begin Phase Two."
"Yes, Master," Sparrow said.
Just then Beast Boy came in with a tray of food for Sparrow.
"Morning, dude!" he said cheerfully, even though he was obviously mad because Cyborg wouldn't let him make tofu for Sparrow.
Sparrow was a bit surprised. He hadn't ever been called 'dude' before. He sat up and examined Beast Boy. Beast Boy walked over to the side of Sparrow's bed. "Want some breakfast?" he asked Sparrow with a huge adorable smile on his face.
'A little green shrimp is bringing me breakfast...' Sparrow thought, '...how weird IS this place?' Beast Boy offered the tray to him. The steaming eggs and bacon on the plate in the center of the tray looked like paradise compared to what Sparrow was used to. His stomach growled a little and he said, "Sure, thanks." Beast Boy set the tray on a small table and helped Sparrow out of bed and into the chair beside it. Then he slid the table over to Sparrow so he could eat.
Sparrow seemed undecided for a moment. He looked at the little green kid who had just gone so far out of his way so that he could eat at a table. He saw the huge smile on his face and felt a stab of guilt. Then he thought of something else and shook the guilt away.
He picked up the fork beside the plate and started to eat the eggs. They had been evenly cooked and perfectly salted. It had been a very long time since he had eaten such wonderful food and he enjoyed every bite. He set down his fork and picked up a piece of bacon. He ate it in two bites, then wiped the grease off of his finger tips and took a long drink of orange juice.
Beast Boy looked around the med.-lab. It was quite a gloomy place to have to be. He felt kind of sorry for Sparrow and decided he would ask Robin about letting Sparrow move into one of the spare bedrooms now that he no longer needed respiratory assistance. He didn't want to watch Sparrow eat, so he walked over to one of the machines and tried to look like he was checking something and knew what he was doing. He decided that maybe a joke would be a good icebreaker.
"Hey Sparrow," he said.
Sparrow looked up at Beast Boy. How did Beast Boy know his name? Oh, yeah. Robin and Raven must have told him.
"What?" he asked after swallowing the pancakes he had just put into his mouth.
"Have you heard any good jokes lately?" Beast Boy asked him.
"No," Sparrow said as he continued to eat.
Beast Boy grinned and turned to face him.
"Then you're gonna love this one!" he said. "Okay, so there are these three guys and each one of them only knows how to say one phrase. The first one only knows how to say 'Yep, yep, yes we did! Yep, yep, yes we did!' The second guy only knows how to say 'Fork and knife! Fork and knife! Fork and knife!' And the third guy only knows how to say 'Goody goody gumdrops! Goody goody gumdrops! Goody goody gumdrops!'"
Sparrow looked up at Beast Boy and raised one eyebrow.
"So one day," Beast Boy continued, "the three guys are walking through the woods and they find an airplane wreck. They pull the pilot's mangled body out of the cockpit just as the police drive up. After a little bit of investigation, a police officer walks up to the first guy and asks 'Did you three kill this man?' And so the first guy answers 'Yep, yep, yes we did! Yep, yep, yes we did!' Then a second police officer walks up to him and asks 'Alright then, how did you three kill him?' So the second guy walks up shaking his head and waving his arms around and yelling 'Fork and knife! Fork and knife! Fork and knife!' So then the first officer says, 'Well then, we'll have to take you three to jail.' So the third guy walks up and says 'Goody goody gumdrops! Goody goody gumdrops! Goody goody gumdrops!'"
Sparrow choked on the food he was eating and Beast Boy laughed hysterically at his joke. The door to the med.-lab opened and Raven walked in. She looked at Beast Boy rolling around on the floor laughing and raised one eyebrow the same way Sparrow had minutes before. Sparrow took a drink of milk and managed to stop coughing. Raven thought he looked like he didn't think the joke was funny at all.
"I don't really think I even want to know..." she said in a monotone voice.
Beast Boy continued to laugh hysterically.
