I dont own Teen Titans.
Chapter 3: Concern
Robin checked Beast Boy's pulse again, still confused as ever. None of this made any sense. From what he could tell, and from Cyborg's scans, Beast Boy was perfectly fine. Cy was at the foot of the bed, seting up some medical equipment. Robin looked at him. "You sure he's not in a coma, Cy?" he asked. Cyborg looked back at him. "I told you," he said, sounding annoyed, "if he was his brain wave patterns would have shifted. My scans say he sould be wide awake." But Beast Boy wasnt far from pulling pranks and cracking a joke without warning like he normaly was. He had regained the green tone to his skin, but other than that he was the same as before. He lied there on the infirmary bed, sleeping peacefully. Robin sat down in the chair next to the bed, stumped. Suddenly the door opend, causing both Cy and him to look up.
Robin's face grew in shock. Starfire had just walked in carrying a limp Raven in her arms. Cyborg ran up to her, motioning to take Raven. "What happend?" he asked as Star set Raven gently in his arms. Star gave him a fearful look. "I wished to see how Raven was doing," she said. "and when i walked into the room of living i found her like that." Tears began to appear in her eyes. Robin shot to his feet, running over to comfort her. "Dont worry, Star," he said placing his arm around her shoulders, "it's ok." He walked her over to his chair and let her sit down. He turned his head to Cyborg, who had set Raven on the adjacent bed. "Well?" he asked. "Hold on a sec, will ya?" Cy said, sounding rushed. He fliped up a pannel on his arm and scaned Raven. "Same as BB," he said shaking his head, "minor dehydration, pulse and brain wave patterns normal." That means.....Robin thought.
"Cyborg, scan the Tower, quick!" he barked. Cy saw his intent and ran over to a security pannel on the wall. After quickly typing in some commands, it beep loudly. Cyborg gave a sigh of relief. "If that thing was here, its gone now." he said, pointing at the screen. Robin sighed and turned to Starfire, who was still crying. "Its ok, Star." he said reasuringly, "They'll be fine." She looked into his eyes and gave him a slight smile. While Cy was setting up equipment at Raven's bed, Robin asked, "Star, did you see anything when you found her?" She shook her head. "No i did not, just Raven lying there." Robin could see she was obviously shaken from seeing Raven like that. "Star, why dont you get some sleep?" he said, "Looks like you need it." She looked at him for a moment then noded. "Indeed, i am as tired as a spent grylak." she said as she rose to her feet. "If thier condition improves, do not hesitate to wake me." she said and floated out of the room. Robin watched her leave, then walked over to Cyborg to see if he needed help.
Starfire reached her door and walked into her room. She walked over to her large circular bed and fell face first onto the welcoming fabric. She lied there for a while, thinking over the day's events. She had never felt so much concern for her friend's well being, considering she had never seen them like this. She decided for it not to trouble her too much. She thought she would hop in the shower, then head off to bed. Perhaps it would ease her mind. She walked into her bathroom and turned the water on, leting it get nice and hot. She looked in the mirror and noticed her hair was messy. She shruged and picked up her comb. While she was attending to that matter, the room began to become steamy from the running hot water. Starfire noticed and reached over to the tub to feel the water. She shot it back quickly, her hand burning. Shakeing off the pain, she turned on the cold water facet, letting the temperture even out. Satisfied, she looked back into her mirror and saw it had goten fogged up. She sighed and ran her hand over it to wipe off the condensation. She pulled her hand back and gasped. A shiny gooey substance covered her palm, several strands of it running back to the mirror. The mirror itself began to ripple like a pond, and then slowly buldged outwards towards her. Starfire watched in terror as a face was molded out of the silver buldge. It was Raven's face, and it was smileing. Star backed into the far wall. "Who....who are you?" The silver Raven continued to smile, then without warning shot forward.
Robin walked down the hall, pondering just what was going on. Both Raven and BB shared the same symptoms, and it most likely had to do with that blob creature. For the first time in a while, Robin couldnt figure out a mystery. He sighed and picked up his pace, heading for Starfire's room. He had just wanted to check up on her, seeing how shaken she was earlier. Suddenly a scream echoed through the hallway. It was from Starfire. Robin's heart skiped several beats. "Starfire!" he yelled, sprinting down the hall like a Olympian runner. He reached her door and banged on it. "Star! Star! Can you hear me?" he yelled. He could hear muffled cries for help from the other side, then a loud thud.
Robin instantly kicked down the door and rushed in. He was surprised to find the bathroom door open, steam dancing across the ceiling from it. He followed a trail of debris and saw a horrific sight. Starfire was lying on the floor, motionless. Standing above her was a tall, smooth, silvery figure. It had waist length hair, a small tube top and mini-skirt. It turned, showing its face. Robin was terrified to see a colorless version of Starfire looking back at him. His terror soon turned to anger, and he pulled out a birdarang. He launched it at the chrome imposter, aiming for its face. Suddnely, a tiny flash of light was seen, and the birdarang was turned to dust. Robin saw that the silver Starfire's hands were glowing green, the light reflecting off its shiny body. It glared at him. "No more hurting me!" it screamed and fired a starbolt at Robin. It hit him right in his chest, sending him out the doorway, back into the hall. Cringing in pain, he looked back up to see a silver blob retreating into a air duct. He scrambled to his feet and over to Starfire. "Starfire!" he screamed, wraping his arms around her, "Starfire, wake up!" She didnt stir. Robin dug his face into her hair, sobbing with fear and worry.
Aw, poor Robin. More to come, please R&R
