Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They lost Starfire twice, but the doctors somehow managed to bring her back each time. She was now in a coma, and the doctors feared she would never wake up.
Raven died twice, as did Starfire, but the doctors told them that she might not make it through the night and it would be best to make funeral arrangement for them both, just in case.
The media found out about the two Titan's, and flooded the hospital in less than two hours after the attack. It took six policemen and twelve nurses to hold the photographers and reporters back. The male teens broke down in the middle of the hospital floor and most of the photographers didn't have the heart to take pictures of the heartbroken teens.
But, as there usually was, there was a woman reporter and cameramen that had no heart and only cared about their jobs. They somehow managed to push the policemen and nurses out of the way and shoved a microphone into Robin's face.
"How do you feel about the death of your teammates? How will this affect the Teen Titans? Is there still going to be a Teen Titans now that the other two are dying?"
Robin lunged at them. "They are not dead!" Cyborg had to hold him back from killing the reporter.
"Raven and Star aren't dead," Robin said quietly, tears welling up in his masked eyes and went limp in Cyborg's arms.
The reporter and cameraman were carted off to jail; kicking and screaming, ranting about how much money they were going to make with a scoop like this.
The rest of the reporters left one hour later. They couldn't stand to watch their hero's cry.

Two months later
Robin stretched his arms and sighed. Starfire was still in a coma as was Raven, and nothing had changed. The doctors were surprised that they had made it this long, and to sparked hope in everyone who knew about the incident. He came everyday to the hospital, from the time visiting hours started, to the time it ended.
He grabbed her limp hand and held it, stroking the palm lightly. He swallowed the tears that threatened to fall, and started to talk to her, like he did everyday.
"Hey Star." He gave a small smile. "I bet your getting tired of me, aren't you?"
He sighed. "Starfire...I know you can't hear me, but...there's something I've always wanted to tell you. I...I love you, Star, and it gets harder every time I come. I hate seeing you like this. I need you, Star. I need you to come back to me." He laid his head on the side of her bed and cried. He seemed to be doing that a lot. Crying. Before this happened, he had rarely shed a tear, thinking it made him weak, but now, it seemed as if he couldn't stop it. He could be watching T.V. or working out in the weight room, and he would just break down, because it reminded him of Star. But he wasn't the only one who cried. He would sometimes walk by Beast Boy's room or even Cyborg's, and he could hear them, crying. It was hard to believe, that the boy wonder could break down in a mere second because it reminded him of Star, or that the metal teen could start crying when he walked past the girls' room, or even the goofball of the titans could sit and cry for hours.
Robin sniffed and got up to leave. It was late and visiting hours were about to be over. He made it to the door, when he heard a soft, "Robin," from the bed and froze.
Beast Boy tapped a foot in annoyance, a stuffed animal under his arm. Darn, I have no place to put it. It was true. Every nook and cranny was piled high with stuffed animal, balloons, and flowers that were all from him.
He sighed, walking closer to her bed and pushing teddy bears off of the chair. He had to kick many out of the way just to get there.
With a little trouble, he sat down and threw the stuffed animal behind him. He scooted the chair closer. He looked like an idiot doing it, but he didn't care. He gave a satisfied sigh when he had it perfect and watched Raven, who had not moved a muscle in months. He fluffed her pillow, pulled the covers up, and moved a stray piece of hair from her face, letting his fingers linger. "I wish you would wake up. You should see what you and Star have done to us. We're actually crying, if can you believe it. Cyborg even breaks down now and then. By the way, Cyborg finally asked Caitlin out and she said yes. She practically lives with us and comforts us when we have out daily break down."
He stroked her forehead. "You've really got us worked up, Rae." He was about to say something else when Robin ran by, sliding on the wet floor that had just been mopped, and Beast Boy heard a crash. He laughed when Robin ran in with a bucket on his head, and his clothes sopping wet.
"Starfire's awake, Beast Boy! She's awake!" Robin ran back out, and Beast Boy could only stare at the space that Robin had left. He kissed Raven on the mouth and ran out, heading for Star's room at full speed.
Starfire tried not to laugh when Robin ran in with a bucket on his head. She was weak, and her back and shoulder still hurt. "Robin, why is there a bucket on your head?"
He blushed and pulled it off. "I ran into the janitor and he happened to put this on my head. He was mad that I messed his floor up. " Robin walked closer to her and sat down, tucking a piece of her hair behind her ear. "I though you would never wake up, Star." Before she could ask what he meant, Robin leaned down and kissed her softly. When he pulled back, she blinked in surprise. "What do you mean you thought I would never wake up?"
"Star, you were in a coma for two months." She blinked her green innocent eyes at him. "Oh...where is Raven? How is she? Is she okay?"
"Raven...is still in a coma, Star. The doctors don't think she'll ever wake up." Starfire's eyes watered, but Robin quickly added, "But they said the same about you, and your awake. So there's hope for Raven. They actually told us the both of you might not have made it through the first night but you did." And then he kissed her again, this time slowly, and it made her weaker than she already was.
Beast Boy ran in and wanted to run back out immediately when he saw Robin and Star. He gave an embarrassed laugh. "Oops, sorry, didn't mean to interrupt. I'll, uh, just go call, um, Cyborg, and uh, tell him, your, ah, awake." He ran back out faster than he had entered and Starfire and Robin's laugh followed him.
Beast Boy cradled the phone between his shoulder and ear, waiting for Cyborg to pick up his phone, which was built into his arm. He listened to Cyborg pick up the phone. He heard a giggle, and a deeper laugh and groaned inwardly.
"Yo, Cyborg here." There was the giggling again.
"Cyborg? It's Beast Boy."
The laughing instantly stopped and Cyborg became serious. "What's up?" He heard Caitlin in the background, asking what was wrong.
"Star's awake."
"What? Star's awake?" He heard fumbling, a curse, and then Cyborg said, "I'll be there as soon as I can." And the line went dead.
Beast Boy rolled his eye and hung up the hospital phone. Not even 5 minutes after the phone call, Cyborg busted in with Caitlin hot on his heels. Beast Boy held up a finger to tell them to watch out for Robin and Star, but they had already run passed him.
They walked back out blushing. Beast Boy grinned. "I tried to warn you."
"Yeah, right. I don't see how they can breath. Robin practically had his tongue down her throat, but Star wasn't any better." Cyborg sat down beside Beast Boy and gave a fake shudder. Caitlin laughed. Since there were not seats left, Caitlin shrugged and sat down on Cyborg lap, throwing her arm around his neck.
"When did she wake up?" Caitlin asked, tucking her short hair behind her ear.
"I don't know. I was in Raven's room when Robin ran in and told me that Star was awake." Beast Boy sighed and stared at his hand, which were lying in his lap.
"We all want Raven to come out of the coma, Beast Boy. It will happen sooner or later." Beast Boy nodded sadly.
Robin came out of Star's room, a stupid grin on his face that had everyone laughing.
"Anyone can go see her now."
