Chapter 13: Time to Heal

Starfire spent the night in the infirmary that night. Robin would go by the window as he walked through the hallway several times that night and catch glimpses of her. She seemed like she was fine. Cyborg locked the infirmary up so no one could get in. Starfire needed space and peace. Raven was going to spend the night monitoring Starfires dreams again but she couldnt for some reason, she kept loosing concentration....or maybe someone was blocking her power. Robin didnt give that much thought. He looked through the transparant window, his attention on the gloden skinned being that lay beaten and tattered on the bed. Starfire was in a lot of pain. He didnt need to be phsycic to figure that out. Lots of wires and needles were hooked up to her.

Its all my fault He thought.

"No its not" Said a voice from out side his mind.

Robin turned in the rays of the moonlight only to see Raven come out of the shadows.

"You couldnt do anything to stop what was happening to her Robin. No one could. We didnt know that day when Mumbo attacked that this would happen to Starfire. It was fate and you have to accept that." Ravens deep voice said.

"This wasnt her fate. She deserves better" Robin said still looking through the window at Starfire.

Raven glanced over too. Robin could tell her eyes were watering up but she should no sign of crying, but if she did the shadow of her hood would have covered it up any way.

"She will be fine Robin. Starfire is strong she can overcome this. She wants to overcome this. To see you and all her friends" Raven said with much more emotion than she normally used.

"How would you know, you cant even protect her mind. HE could be in there right now and we wouldnt even know it!" Robin said coldly.

"Dracon has been destroyed. We all saw it" Raven said glaring at him and his insensitivity.

Robin noted this

"Im sorry"

Ravens expression softened.

"I have always felt like I had to protect Starfire from people and their attacks, but this time the problem isnt physical. Its in her mind, and there is nothing I can do to help her. Though this whole ordeal I have had to watch her suffer and I coudnt even stop Dracon. How am I supposed to protect Starfire if this is all happening in her head?!." Robin said looking at the ground

"This is just a hunch but I think something else happened" Raven said raising her eyebrows

"Something did. I..I..I pushed her away. I told Starfire that I would always protect her and then I didnt know what to do. The day Starfire was kiddnapped I told her that I didnt want to talk to her about what had been happening. I wasnt ready for it but she was and it was probably going to be harder for her to say what was on her mind and going on then me listening. I was foolish and if I had went to talk to her she wouldnt have been on the roof alone and Dracon wouldnt have been able to take her cause I would have been around." Robin said and sounded like he was going to cry

Raven remained silent.

The tower remained silent

"You had better get some rest. Tomorrow we can get some answers from Starfire. She only needs some time to heal. She should be fine tomorrow" Raven said.

"I hope youre right" Robin said and looked at Starfire then walked away.

Raven watched him leave.

"I do too" she said under her breath. She looked into the window of the infirmary. Starfire still lay their still.

What ever happened to Dracon anyway. I might as well give it a shot

Raven looked around to make sure no one was watching her then she swiftly went through the wall of the ifirmary with her powers.

She stood next to Starfire.

"It cant hurt trying" She said asuring herself.

"Azerath. Metrion. Zinthos"

Ravens empowered soul once again attempted to get into Starfires mind.

Concentrate, concentrate Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!

Raven entered her mind.

it was dark and empty she couldnt see Starfire anywhere.

"Starfire!? Starfire its Raven! Starfire are you here?" Raven asked puzzled.

It was Starfire mind but where was Starfire?

Raven saw a body in the distance. It looked like it was standing up with its arms spread out. Then She relized who it was.

"Starfire!"

Raven ran into the distance of Starfires dark mind. She kept calling Starfrires name but she wouldnt move she looked like she was just standing there.

Im coming.... Raven thought to herself.
