Disclaimer: I don't own TT but I do happen to own Razor McKlan and Mark.

The Titan's Tower was quiet. No loud noises, no arguments, no T.V. For inside a dull bedroom laid the Dark Knight, with his body smothered with the blue covers. Though, this time he wasn't sleeping. This time he was recovering. Recovering from the close encounter he had with death a couple nights ago. Eyes still shut, sleeping for several days on end. Beside him, in a chair with her head on the bed over her arms was Raven. Sleeping with tears running down her eyes as she dreamt of the events that made her realize that just how vulnerable the knight really is. For the first time in their lives they learned that he was indeed that of a mortal man.

Across the room sitting at the table was Nightwing and Cyborg playing a quiet game of cards. Beside them were the clothing of the visitor from Lythia, neatly placed and folded with an eye patch and gold plated leather gauntlet on top. Against the wall was a green elf like changling known as Beast Boy. Beside him was a large sword with the knight's twin gun belts, leather belt and amulet draped around the handle, hanging as if they were a carol. The door opened as Starfire stepped in, holding a tray with five cups of coffee on it, and approached the table. As she sat the tray down, Cyborg and Nightwing grabbed the cup and sipped from it slowly. Trying to regain their energy from staying up for nights to keep an eye on their fallen companion.

They had owed Razor more than they could ever afford to pay. He had defended one of their dearest friend's at the cost of his own life. So the best either of them could do was stay by his side with Raven and wait until he awaken. Not only that, questions had to be answered. Though, Raven had the most out of all of them. "Dick, tell me. What made him do something like that?" Nightwing slowly placed his cup down as he picked his free hand off of the table and looked at his cards, "To be honest Victor. Not sure." "Funny how things are. When we first met him, he wouldn't get shot in order to save our planet. But things seemed to have change. Not sure why or how. But I think he's starting to feel like he must protect life instead of getting revenge. He's becoming a true knight without even realizing it." Cyborg stated without his usual speech.

It was strange on how the powerhouse Titan's vocabulary changed during depressing times, "Ya know, I wonder what made him become like this in the first place." "My guess is his past. Last night, though, he confirmed that it was all an act. Inside he's probably the kindest and most gentle person there is." Nightwing discarded a card and drew another while Cyborg asked a question that they've all been asking themselves, "So what's up with the mask?" "I'm not sure why he puts on that mask. One thing I'm for sure though, it has something to do with the past. Something so awful he's trying to run from. Probably in truth, he's really running from the mistake that happened and being someone else is his only way he can stop the mistake from happening again.

As Nightwing laid his cards on the table, his opponent freaked out in disbelief that he could be beaten. Slowly, the metal Titan grabbed the cards while sulking and begun to shuffle the deck as he done many times before. Without warning, Nightwing slowly got up, "You know. I think it's time we head back out to the streets." All eyes quickly turned to him, "What about Razor!" Starfire blurted out as she jumped into Cyborg's and Nightwing's conversation. "Yeah Dick. What about him? We can't just leave him lying there. He hasn't been up in days!" Cyborg got up and accidentally knocked his chair down, "Cy, Kory. We can't just stay here and ignore our duty." "But Nightwing!" Beast Boy shout out in protest, "Listen. B.B., this goes for you too. We have a job and that's to protect the innocent. I'm worried about him as well but we've been sitting here for the past three days doing nothing except sulking."

Nightwing took a deep breath as his eyes scanned over his teammates before coming upon the sleeping Raven and Razor, "I don't want to leave him either, but, we have to protect the innocent." Slowly the former Boy Wonder lifted his mask off of the table and pulled it toward his face. Neatly the mask fitted over his eyes and nose as if it were the missing piece of an incomplete jigsaw puzzle. "Before any of you say anything, I have an idea. We'll leave Raven here with him. This way she can get some rest. She's been really stressed out lately and maybe sometime off duty will help. Besides, if he wakes up, she can let us know." The others slowly nodded in agreement. They knew he was right. They all watched as the girl who they once believed would never shed tears break down and cry for the pass few days.

Cyborg and Beast Boy stepped out of the room to get ready to their days work. Slowly, Starfire walked up to Nightwing and hugged him, "I don't think I can ever forgive him." She said as the masked hero in black wrapped his arms around her, "Who?" "Razor. I can never forgive him." "Why?" "He's a jerk. He made our friend cry." "Kory." He was speechless. What could you say to a girl who's angry about what happened? Angry and sad were two emotions that often went together during sadden times but were next to impossible to bring ease to with words.
