Oh boy!! More FF! I love writing( Newayz, I figure that I'll keep
writing no matter how many reviews I get. Though many of you don't realize
it, I enjoy reading my stories too. I want to know what happens next just
as much as the rest of you! So I have decided to write whenever I want to
know the next part, no matter what you guys decide.
TheDudeLordofFantasy: Thanks for reviewing. I'm glad someone likes my work besides me and all of my Teen Titans loving friends.
(Sorry it took me so long to update. *grumbles* lowsy computer hogging brother...)
So Neway, Here goes chapter four!!!^_^
Chapter 4 /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
A few weeks after the accident, Sparrow was settled into his own room in Titans Tower. It was a very big room compared to what he was used to, and it seemed kind of empty. Even if he brought everything he had ever owned and put it in the room it would still be mostly empty. That was alright, though, because as soon as the Titans moved him out of the med.-lab he spent most of the time in the entertainment room.
Beast Boy was extremely friendly and extremely funny after that. One afternoon, he was showing Sparrow his huge CD collection and he pulled out a P.O.D. CD.
"Hey, I forgot I had this one," he said as he opened the case and put it into his CD player, which was on the couch right beside Sparrow. He pressed play and skipped a few tracks forward to a song called 'Anything right.' "These guys are really hard-core," Beast Boy said over the distorted electric guitars. Sparrow sat back to listen to the lyrics as the guitars faded and the string instruments took over.
'So much to say, so little time for me, to explain the way I feel you only see things the way you want to see them. It makes sense to you, all these things you do, you've got it all figured out while everyone is confused. How do you do it? (Echo: How do you do it?) In your mind I'm just blind, you're right all of the time, if I think for myself I guess I'm way out of line. I'm not who you are, I'm so sorry. (Echo: I'm so sorry...)
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT! YOU DON'T KNOW ME, STAY OUT OF MY LIFE! KICK ME WHILE I'M DOWN, I WANT YOU TO! I CAN'T BE LIKE YOU! I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT! YOU DON'T KNOW ME, STAY OUT OF MY LIFE! ! KICK ME WHILE I'M DOWN, I WANT YOU TO! I CAN'T BE LIKE YOU! BE LIKE YOU...'
Sparrow started to fidget. He didn't like this song. It came too close to his own personal experiences over the past seven years. He was about to tell Beast Boy to change the CD, but he had gone to get a snack. Sparrow glared at the CD player and was about to turn it off when the second verse started.
'No matter what I do it's never good enough, I give all that is me, still it's never enough. So why try? I give up. What does it feel like to be in your shoes and walk over everyone like you do? Turn me down again, I want you to. (Echo: I want you to...')
Raven walked into the entertainment room and over to the couch where Sparrow was sitting. Sparrow turned and looked at her.
"You're lovely, so beautiful, and you're perfect in every way..." the song continued.
"Could that be any louder?" Raven asked.
"Sorry," Sparrow said as he turned it down so far that he couldn't hear it anymore.
"Hey," Beast Boy said, returning from the kitchen, "Who turned off my music?"
"Sparrow," Raven said as she sat on the couch to read a book.
"What'd you do that for?" Beast Boy asked Sparrow.
"It was too loud," Sparrow replied, "And I don't really like that song. Besides, I only turned it down."
Beast Boy turned the sound up a little bit. It was still playing the song. They were now screaming "I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT! I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT!" over and over again. If looks could kill, Raven would be in prison and Beast Boy would be dead. Sparrow pressed the eject button and the CD player and the top opened up. He took the CD out and handed it to Beast Boy, who opened his huge, heavy CD case and put it in its place.
"Um, I'm going to my room," Sparrow said a little awkwardly. He felt strange whenever Raven came around him. It was very confusing, and he had never felt like this before, so he tried to avoid her as much as possible. He stood up on his crutches and went slowly into the hall, then turned to go to his room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Meanwhile Robin, Cyborg, Speedy, Wonder Girl, Terra, and Starfire were outside Titans Tower running one by one through the obstacle course. As they each completed the course, Sparrow watched from his bedroom window. He watched as Cyborg finished and, finding he had set a new course record, yelled: "BOO YA!!" He watched, frowning, as the other titans congratulated Cyborg. Wonder Girl kissed him on the cheek and he blushed. Starfire gave him a hug. He picked her up and returned her hug. Robin and Speedy gave him high-fives. Terra got ready to run the course next.
Sparrow watched them from his bedroom window for about two hours as they each ran the course, sometimes alone and sometimes in teams or groups. After a while he got bored and went back into the entertainment room. Raven was reading a book and Beast Boy was trying desperately to get Kid Flash to try some tofu. Sparrow walked over and sat down on the couch. He lifted his leg up onto the couch and laid back against the arm.
"How long until I can get this cast off of my leg?" he asked Raven.
"About two months," Raven said, not looking up from her book.
"Two months?!?" Sparrow exclaimed.
"Yep," Raven said calmly.
"That means I'll have been here for half of a year," he said. There was a little bit of fear in his voice.
Raven looked up from her book. "And?" she said.
Sparrow tried to calm down a little bit. "Well," he said, trying not to sound suspicious, "I didn't want to impose for so long."
"You're acting sort of strange," Raven said.
"I guess I'm sort of worried," he said, "I've never broken a leg before."
Raven stood up. "Sparrow, I'd like to talk with you in the lab," she said.
Sparrow was worried. "About what?" he asked.
"I was going to wait until I took your cast off, but I think now I'd rather not wait any longer," Raven said as she began to walk toward the med.-lab. Sparrow got up and followed her. When they walked into the lab, Raven shut the door and sat Sparrow down on the examination table.
"Sparrow," she said, "When Speedy first examined you, he found a small square shaped mass in your shoulder. When he showed it to me, I couldn't figure out what it could be. I'd like for you to tell me what it is now."
Sparrow looked shocked for a few seconds and felt his shoulder. "Um, That's my tracking device," he lied, "Back at my own place, there's a tracking computer that tells exactly where I am at all times so that if I get captured or something then my...my boss...will know where I am and send someone to come find me."
"Boss?" Raven asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Um, yeah," Sparrow answered, "I work for a secret organization. My boss's name is strictly confidential."
"I see," Raven said. "And this organization fights crime all over the world or something?"
"That's also strictly confidential," Sparrow replied, "After all, it's a secret organization."
Raven stared at him. He stared back at her. This went on for about thirty seconds, then Raven turned away and started to do something. She seemed satisfied with his explanation, but still suspicious about Sparrow.
'Phew,' Sparrow thought. He looked at his shoulder. 'Another one?' he thought to himself, 'How many are there?' Raven turned and looked at Sparrow.
"You are healing abnormally fast, Sparrow," she said.
"Um, yeah," Sparrow said, "I used to have a special power drink for breakfast every day..."
"Power drink?" Raven asked.
"Special recipe," Sparrow said.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*FLASHBACK*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Slade held Sparrow in a headlock while Sparrow tried to break free. Slade then picked Sparrow up and threw him into the ground. Sparrow yelled out in pain when he hit the cold hard cement floor. Slade picked a vial of green liquid up from a nearby table while Sparrow lay face down on the floor, breathless, bleeding, and worn out. He walked over to Sparrow, flipped him over, lifted his head and started to pour the liquid down his throat.
The liquid burned as it went down, but Sparrow was too tired to resist any more. When Slade had poured all of the green liquid down Sparrow's throat, he let go of him. Sparrow's head crashed against the floor and he blacked out.

Ooh hoo hoo!!! Power drinks are good!!! Especially if they are designed to help you heal more quickly when you get injured. Slade's gonna beat Sparrow up a lot in the many flashbacks I have planned, so if you don't like it just tell me in your reviews.
