At the hospital, in the lobby -7:45 pm-
"Miss I
have to have you leave now. You can come back in an hour. I sujest
you go home and take a bath, and get some things to keep you occupied
while you wait, alright a doctor told Raven when they found out that
she was in a coma.
"B-b-but why? What's so wrong with
her that I have to leave her?" Raven asked.
"Because
she... well, she has gone into a coma that is, without a doubt, one
of the worst cases I have ever seen. I'm very sorry, I really am. But
if you mess with her, her body could react in such a way that she
could die."
"But... how?"
"Her
body could stop fighting to stay alive. So, you see, we need you to
let her brain settle before you see her again. And also we're only
going to give her live support for another 2 weeks. She's actually
very lucky."
"What?! How could she be lucky?!"
Raven was seriously ticked off now. "She's
lucky because we
really only give patients 1 week, but because we have never seen a
coma this bad we are giving her an extra one. Truthfully, there has
never been a coma like this since it was discovered, meaning there
has only been one like this. It was caused by some strange reaction
after contact with a type of liquid, possibly water."
"But
I have never heard of water causing a
coma."
"Me
neither, and I'm a doctor. Well, it also has to do with another
reaction caused by heat or some type of radiation, which caused the
liquid substance to boil and made her brain go through a chemical
reaction. It was about the time her panic attack ended, and when she
went into this coma, her brain was pretty much fried. It makes me
wonder..."
"Wonder... wonder what?"
"Why
she didn't die from the radiation or the boiling. I mean, she should
have caught fire or something, but she didn't even get hot. That's
what. Well, you had better go. But, before you do..."
"Yeah?"
"What do you wish to call this type of coma?"
Raven thought hard and said, "Azarath Crysta-light."
The doctor looked at her hard, sighed, and wrote it down. He
then gave her some change for a 10 so she could use the payphone,
because her comunacator was, for some reason, not working. Raven
called Cyborg and asked him to come pick her up, and to take a look
at her comunacator. He agreed and left the tower. Raven hung up and
grabbed her change. She then went to see how Grace was, and if she
could go home yet.
---------------
Back
at the tower -7:55 pm-
door.
"Rae asked me to come get her and Terra's coming 'cause she was going anyway. So how bad is it?" Cyborg replied.
"Yeah and who's NightCrystal anyway?" Terra asked, confused.
"Things are half decent with Grace, but NightCrystal... she's... she's in a coma and... the doctor said that she... she may... may never..." Robin started to say. He tried to continue, but he couldn't say anything past never.
Starfire finished his sentence for him, "She may never awaken," her eyes teared up, but she held them back so Cyborg wouldn't feel any worse then he probably already did. Cy's heart was crying out to tell him to rush over to that hospital and kill the doctor for even saying that, but he just ignored it.
"Oh...
well, that can't be good for Rae either," Cy said, as he began
to think now why Raven had called him to come, and no one else.
"For the last time....who
is NightCrystal?!" Terra asked, still confused and now
frustrated.
"Look, Terra, I'll tell you in the car.
Let's just go so Rae won't have to wait any longer, okay?"
Terra nodded in return and she and Cy left. Robin and Star
entered the tower, broke the news to BB, who was the only one so far
that broke down crying. You see he and N.C. had become best friends,
like brother and sister relationship, and ever since N.C. had come BB
hadn't pranked, joked, -well not the insulting kind anyway, because
they joked all the time- or irratated Raven enough to where she got
pissed and hurt him. So, she changed him a lot and made him a better
person.
--------------
In
Cyborg's car -7:59 pm-
"So what?" asked Terra.
"So overprotective over her. I mean she leaves, and Rae's all over her asking her where she's goin', who and what's gonna be there, and if she knows when she has to be back at the tower. I think that she's more to Raven then she says." Cyborg explains.
"What do you mean? Like what?"
Cyborg thinks it over, then, with a sigh, says,"Like she was probably the one who helped raise her, or watched over her while they were growing up."
"I think that Rae just might be screamed, she'll screw up. I mean, the city is in
trouble like all the time, so..."
"Possibly. Is there anything else you wanna know about her?"
"Yeah. What's she look like? What's her real name, if you know it? Does she have any close friends in her home land or here, and if so, who and what is there relationship between them? And--mmmphmphmmmph."
Cyborg placed his hand on over her mouth, stared at her, and stopped the car at the gas station across the street."One question at a time, ok? Now what's your first question?"
"Oh, sorry," Terra apologized, then went on, "okay, what does she look like?"
"Here's a picture of her. You can look at it while I go pay for some gas. I'll be right back but please dont damage the photo because it's the only one I have."
"I see, okay."
"Alright. You stay here, ok? I'll be right back." "Ok. I will." With that Cyborg left to pay for some gas.
------------------
Inside
the gas station -8:10 pm-
"It depends on what type of loss your friend is going through. So I could help you if you just tell me," JayDee said.
"Well her younger sister just went into a coma, and she might not wake up."
"Well then you need to stop by 'Rick's Famous Healers.' It has things for all situations, and an area in the store for help, mmkay?"
"All right, thanks. I'll be right back, but while I'm gone, can you write down the way to get there? And here's the the money for the gas."
"Thank you, and sure, I would be glad to help, and I hope your friend and her sister get better."
"Yeah me too. Well, I'll be right back." Cyborg left the building and headed for his car.(Back at the T-car...-8:16 pm-..)"Lost in that pic. huh?" Cyborg said as he walked over to the pump to fill his tank.
Terra jumped. "Oh, well, it's just that I can't believe how much they look alike."
"I know. It's scary..." Cyborg said.
"Yeah, sorta."
"Well I'll be right back I have to get something from the info stand in the station, and then it's off to the hospital, ok?"
"Ok but what is it that you have to get at the info stand anyway?"
"Directons to somewhere that we are gonna stop at on the way."
"Oh."
Cy walked in the station, got the directions, and thanked JayDee. He got back in his car and they left. "So can I have my picture back now?" Cy asked as he held out his hand to take the photo.
"Uh, sure, sorry. So....here." Terra handed him the picture and looked out the window.
"So what's your next question?" Cyborg asked.
"Oh, yeah. What is her real name?"
"Well I think it's Firra because that's what she said it was, but when she first came Rae would often say Emily," Cy explained, then quickly added, "but I could be wrong."
"Oh. Ok then my next question is... does she have any close friends where she came from? Or here?"
"Yeah, she does. She sometimes talks to Rae about some guy named Atoron or somethin' and here. Rae, me, Grace, Star, and BB... but Rob and her are way to
stubborn to get along."
"BeastBoy?!" Terra was a little jealous now.
"Calm down, they have a brother/sister relationship."
"Oh, ok," she sighed of relief, "so what relationship does everyone else have with here?"
"With Raven it's familywise. Grace and her are, like, best friends. Star, well, Star gets along with just about everyone so... they have a friendship."
"And you?"
"I actually have a very strange relationship with her."
"What? Like couple-wise?"
"Nonononono... more like a father/daugther relationship."
"Oh that is kind of strange."
"Anythin' else?""Nope," it was silent for about a minute, but then Terra spoke up again, "I'm gonna take a nap, ok?"
"Sure, go ahead. If you want you can crawl into the back seat and lay down."
"Ok. I think I will," ith that Terra crawled into the back seat and Cy headed for Rick's.
------
Back with Rae -8:20 pm-"Hey, you awake?" Raven asked as she entered Grace's room.
"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm just so hungry!"
Raven laughed to herself and said, "So are they gonna let you come home tonight?"
"No! And it's not fair! I'm fine! I really am!"
"I believe you. Maybe I can get Cyborg to run and get you something to eat. That is, when he gets here."
"That would be nice but they won't let it in my room."
"Oh, well, I'm sure you'll eat soon. Wanna go get some fresh air?"
"Yeah! I thought nobody was gonna take me!"
"Come on, I'll help you out since you can only use one hand."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
------------
Right outside the hospital -8:22 pm-As James entered the lobby he saw Raven, so she wouldnt force him to leave again, he turned away until they left. He then signed in and headed for N.C.'s room.
----
Rae and Grace who are now outside -8:25pm-
"So, why
did you come to earth in the first place, Grace?" Raven asked
out of curiousity.
"Well, my father disowned me because
he couldn't keep me out of trouble, and he was about to bring me to
the Centari Prison, but I was to young to go. So instead, he disowned
me. And, well, he hates me. My mother cried though, but it was for
her own good to sign the papers, and I was also banned from Tamaran
for at least five years, so I thought I'd leave with Starfire."
"Oh.
I'm sorry, and I know how it feels to have a father that hates you.
My father use to beat me all the time for no reason, so I left to get
away from him." Raven said, as she started to go back inside
with tired Grace.
------
Cy and Terra -8;30 pm-
Cy
parked his car in the lot, locked the doors so on one could steal his
car or Terra -who was still asleep- and went in the store. He saw
something right when he walked in that was perfect. It was a dark
blue card with violet words and black ravens on it. It also could be
customized so he had it read:
I know you must be hurting inside and I would love to tell you it will be ok, but I don't want to lie to you. So all I'm gonna say is that if you ever need so one to talk to or a shoulder to cry on you always have mine.Love with all my heart,
Cyborg
He paid for the card, as well as a locket.The locket was also customized. It had a violet raven on it with dark blue eyes and black wings. Her name was engraved above the raven and inside it was a shrunken photo of her and N.C. It was the same photo he had let Terra see in the car earlier. He had it copied and shrunk. The photo was on the right side and a photo of all of him and Rae. Actually, it had been a photo of the team. Though, he had had it copied, and he cut Rae and himself out on the copy and put it on the left side. On the back it had: 'Cy and Rae forever' engraved in it.Cyborg got back to his car to see Terra awake and jamming to 'Toxic' on the radio.
"What the Hell is this?!" Cyborg yelled, as he turned it down so low it might as well have been off.
"Oh I'm sorry. It's just that I was bored and you where gone so I just turned on the radio and one of my favorite songs was on, so I turned it up." Terra explained.
He sighed, "What was it called anyway?"
"It's called Toxic. It's by Britney Spears."
"Never heard of it. I'll turn it back on, but low, because it's late and I don't wanna get pulled over for disturbance," Cyborg turned it up just to where you could hear the words clear and left the parking lot.
----------------
Back in N.C.'s room -8:39 pm-NightCrystal laid there motionless, except for her breathing. But things in her mind were very active.
In her mind
'Where am I?' She saw a sign that read 'NightCrystal's Mind'. To the right is the sounds of her surroundings, and to the left is her thoughts. 'Oh well that's plesant.' she said sarcastically, as she walked into the right door first, hoping to go back later and enter the left one.In her room
James was standing there looking down at NightCrystal. "Please wake up," he whispered, "I'm sorry for what happened, and I want to get to know you. I guess this might sound strange but, I think I like you, and... I'm not supposed to feel things for people. I promised to myself, after my little sister died, that I wouldnt feel for anybody anymore, but I guess I couldnt keep that promise. Please wake up, and if not for me, then for Raven. She needs you, and if you dont wake up she might injure herself or someone else." James took her hand in his. He closed his eyes, when all of a sudden, her heart stopped. In her head she saw nother but black.
"Oh God, no." He let go of her hand, as the alram went off on Raven's
belt. She rushed to her room to find the boy again. James turned to see four devilish eyes looking at him. Those eyes were full of anger, hate, and just plain evil.
"You! I will kill you for this! You have made your last mistake!" Raven yelled as she threw him out the window.Grace heard the loud noise and tried hard to get there, but she had alot of trouble moving herself in a wheelchair with just one hand. Raven flew outside the window as he caught his own fall in mid-air.
Raven
flew to him quickly, then took hold of his shirt collar before he
could stop her. She then flew up high, then rushed toward the ground
moving his body under her feet. He grabbed her foot and pushed her
feet off of him, causing her to start falling with him. He hit the
ground hard, and Raven did soon after. James got up, and coughed up a
mouthfull of blood. Raven also got up, then ran over to him. She
grabbed him and threw him away from where she was and he landed on
Cyborg's hood, which wasn't too far away.
"Oh my God,
Cyborg! Some guy just landed on your car!" Terra screamed.
When Cyborg stopped the car, she went to get out, when he
grabbed her arm and
said, "I dont think thats a good idea.
Look there's Rae, and she looks angry so maybe he's a bad guy."
"So what?! Even if he is we never hurt them this
bad!" Terra yelled, and broke out of Cyborg's grip.
James
groaned as he tried to get up. Raven had been running towards them.
Terra jumped out the car and went over th James, Raven got there
right after.
She grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him to
her face and said,"You put my daugther through hell. You rape
her, then you have the nerve to come back and try to kill her and
succeed! You are gonna die for it!"Raven yelled.
"I
didn't do anything to her!" James yelled, as his eyes slightly
glowed orange.
"Liar!" Raven yelled and pulled
free hand back, only to be grabbed by a weak force of dark, red
energy. Raven gasped, knowing who it was, and turned toward
NightCrystal's window.
"Don't h- hu-hurt him. H-he's
n-not lying!" NightCrystal was weak, but very much alive and
awake. Raven was so shocked that she dropped him back onto the car,
and ran over to NightCrystal, who had flown out of the window.
"You're okay!" Raven exclaimed as she flew towards
her. NightCrystal jumpped into her mothers open arms and cried.
"Shh.. it's okay. I'm so sorry. I was just trying to protect
you." Raven said as they went into her room and sat on her
bed.
James, who was unconscious, was now lying on a hospital bed.
The doctors had just gotten finished with him for the moment, and had
just talked to Cyborg. Terra walked up to him. "Is he ok, Cy?"
"They don't know, it's hard to tell."
"So
does that make Raven a bad guy?" Terra asked.
"I
sure hope not..." Cy sort of answered.
Back in
NightCrystal's room, she had just healed Grace enough so that she
could heal James. All of a sudden, an unseen portal silently opens in
a near-by alleyway.
"Hahaha!
Now i found you Metrion! And your precious daugther!" A new
protal opened aside the other. A boy around 16 stepped out, looked at
the man standing next to him, and dared to speak, "You arent
seriously going to hurt them? I mean you already know your stronger
and I dont think you even need to use any type of force on Fire Fly
cuz shes way weak anyways. And why even hurt Raven?" The man
turned around, grabbed his neck, and squizzed saying to the boy,"
Have you gone completely insane? You know I love Raven to much to
hurt her. BUT if that deranged daugther of hers even thinks about
attacking, I wiill apply great force on her. Is that clear?"
"Ugh.......Y...yes sir crystal!" The man let go of the boy
and headed for the entence to the hospital. The young boy walked
through the door with ease, but when the man tried to step through he
couldnt." Pop, I thought you were coming to do our job?" "I
cant seem to enter.Hahahaha! Metrion really doesnt want me here."
"How can you be so sure its mom?" "Cause I can sence
her energy when I try to enter. She has a spell on the door thats
keeping me out." "Oh. So.....what do I do?" "Continue
our mission, but try to get Metrion to to say she wants to see me
again or to get her to leave somehow." "But dont know the
mission. So I'll just tyr to get her to come outside, okay/"
"Sounds good. Well go then." "Yes sir." The boy
headed for N.C.'s room. He seemed to know exactly what room she was
in. The man watched the boy leave and tried to think why raven
wouldnt let him near N.C. Then he couldnt help but laugh as he said
aloud to himself, "She knows why I'd come.Haha! Very impressive,
very impressive. I can only wonder how long she thinks this 1st grade
spell can hold me off?"
