Chapter 9: The Explanation, Room B6 Kara and Emily
Disclaimer- I do not own Teen Titans. But I do own this class list!! Wait a second. Class List? Whimpers No school starts on Tuesday!!
Like I said School starts on Tuesday. So my updating is going to go down... and my time away from the computer is going to go up (and hopefully my grades will to). But I promise you... every night before I go to bed I will write ATLEAST a half an hour or more in my journal. Then on Sunday or Saturday I'll type it up. So this may mean only one post a week. Depending on the homework situation.... Anyway this will probably be my last post before... dramatic music plays in background school.
After talking a little bit more to Beast Boy and trying to calm him. Starfire floated off the ground and followed Beast Boy into the building. As they entered they noticed Cyborg and Robin were talking to a nurse at the front desk. As she and Beast Boy approached them Robin turned around and found them behind him. "Great news guys!! We can go see Raven in her room!" Cyborg then turned away from the desk and faced them "The nurse says she's in Room B6 on the South End."
Almost as soon as the words came out of Cyborgs mouth Beast Boy ran into the direction of the room. He could here the shouting of the others as they called after him to stop because he may hurt someone. But he kept running and running towards the room.
He ran past other people, the janitor, many doctors and nurses, the cafeteria, the Emergancy Room, and many other patients rooms when he finally came to an abrupt hault in front of a room that read "B6 South End".
He slowly pushed the door open to find a 15 year old girl in the room making the bed. She had dark cherry colored hair with chestnut brown eyes and wore a hemp necklace of the three primary colors. She also wore a black sleeveless t-shirt with with words 'HARD ROCK CAFÉ' written on it in silver. She wore a pair of light capree jeans that was held up by a bright yellow belt. For shoes she wore a pair of flip-flops that looked like they were made of beach grass and above on her ankle she wore a moon charm ankle bracelet.
"Am I in the right room?" he asked still looking at the girl who hadn't looked up from making the bed.
"If you're here to see Raven then yes you are." The girl finished and turned to Beast Boy. Her eyes widened as she starred at him. "Your Beast Boy!" she said in disbelief.
Suddenly there was movement in the corner of the room as a girl with blonde hair, that ended slightly above her shoulders, head jerked towards his direction. The girl had big blue eyes and wore a one sleeve black top and a pair of dark blue jeans. She suddenly stood up and started to jump up and down rapidly knocking over the chair in the process "OH MY GOD YOUR BEAST BOY!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S YOU!!! YOU'RE HERE IN THIS ROOM!! AND I'M HERE IN THIS ROOM!! AND-"The girl suddenly put her hand over her head and pretend fainted on the floor.
The other girl looked over at the blonde who was lying on the floor and raised a eyebrow. "Right." She said before she turned back to Beast Boy "Anyway my names Kara. I'm the secretary of the fan club your president of-"she was quickly interrupted by the hand that covered her mouth preventing her to say anymore. Beast Boy eyes darted around the room cautiously as he put a finger up to his lip signalling to be quite. "No one's supposed to know that." He removed his hand and then put it down at his side. "Okay then-"she said giving him a questioning look "Anyway, I'm Kara and that's Emily." She said pointing to the girl who lay on the floor. Suddenly Emily's hand rouse and waved at Beast Boy. "Em you can't wave when you faint." Kara said as she looked over at her sister who was waving.
"Oh." Emily said as she picked herself up off the floor. She looked at Beast Boy and then her face lit up. She then ran forward and gave Beast Boy a big hug. "Wow!! It's really you!!"
Beast Boy rubbed the back of his head and blushed "Yep it's really me!!"
Suddenly the door opened revealing the rest of the Titans. Emily caught sight of the rest of the Titans as they burst through the door and fainted. For real this time.
"Where is Raven??" Starfire asked in a confused manner as she watched the blonde headed girl fall to the floor. Starfire floated up to the stranger in concern and attempted to wake her up.
"Uhhhh..." Beast Boy said as he attempted to answer Starfire' question.
Kara looked at everyone then answered for Beast Boy "She's not here yet. She shouldn't be here for another hour."
"Oh. Guess we're going have to wait some more then." Robin said as he looked at the girl who had answered his question. "And who may I ask are you?" he said moving into the room and closing the door behind him.
"I'm Kara and that's Emily." She said pointing to the limp figure on the floor that Starfire was trying frantically to wake up. "Don't worry Star she'll wake up in... oh I'd say... right... about... now." As she said that Emily's eyes fluttered open and looked up into large emerald green eyes. "Hi Starfire!!!!" she merrily. Starfire's eyes lit up "You must be called Emily!!" Starfire said smiling. "Yep." Emily sat up and started to talk to Starfire.
Eventually everyone ended up sitting on two couches in the corner of the room talking about different things. Kara talked to Beast Boy, Robin and Cyborg about their lives at the tower. It was almost like she was interviewing them without the microphone or anything else. There conversation went along the line of this...
"So what do you guys do in the day. I mean you don't have school and bad guys aren't out 24/7 so how do you pass your time?"
"Well." Cyborg said looking into Kara's dark brown eyes. "I spend most of my time creaming Green Boy's butt. But when I'm not doing that... I'm fixin' up my car or buildin' up muscles in the gym." Cyborg said as he flexed his muscles and winked at Kara.
She blushed and gave him a smile then turned to Robin and Beast Boy who were holding back snickers. "What about you guys?"
"Uhh... Training." Robin said as he looked over at Beast Boy.
"Ummmm... trying to beat Cyborg's High Score?" he said not really knowing what else he did. 'Stupid memory block.' He thought as Kara asked another question.
Over on the other couch, where Starfire and Emily sat, the conversation was very different. They both were both conversing about thing's they didn't understand. There conversation went like this...
"Emily? What is a period?"
"It's a dot the end of a sentence. Why?"
"Well when I asked Robin what it was. His face turned the color of a Gloorpeg-Unggreed then said it was 'Diffucult to Explain' then he ran off."
"Really?"
"Yes watch." Starfire leaned forward and tapped on Robin's shoulder "Robin may I ask you something?"
"Sure Star! What's up?" he said turning away from his conversation.
"What is a period?"
"Uh... I mean... Er... It's hard to explain."
"Could you please explain it to me?" She said innocently.
"Um... Well I would but then I would have to get into a subject that isn't... approiate. For some people in here." He tilted his head towards Emily.
"Okay Robin I will inquire another time then." She turned back to Emily "I do not understand it. But for a odd reason when I ask him that subject he does not give me a proper answer. It is extraordinarily odd."
"Hmmm..." Emily thought for a second "Well I guess that's boy's for you! Always confusing!" As she said that the door opened and everyone turned to see Raven being wheeled in on a stretcher.
Raven sat down on the floor and looked up at the chalkboard waiting for Denis to write something. "So what exactly do you know, Raven?"
"I know that I'm in a coma and so is Alley. That's about it."
"Well then your going to learn a lot in the next couple of minutes." The chalk stopped for a few seconds then started to write again "Yes it's true that your in a coma and so is Alley. Right now in your in the condition that we call 'A Wandering Soul'. A wandering soul is the soul of the person who is in a coma. The reason we call it a wandering soul is because that's what you have to do. In order to wake up from your coma you have to find your body. Which usually involve a lot of wandering to find it. Hopefully when you find it you'll be still be a wandering soul and not a lost soul."
"A lost soul?" Raven questioned.
"Yes a lost soul. Each hour you will fade away a little more. Eventually you will fade away to such a degree that you will be invisible. This usually can take from one day to a week considering on how much energy you use. The more you use the faster you fade. When you're invisible you're considered a lost soul. You cannot touch and feel ANYTHING. You cannot speak and it's even diffucult to move! I'm a lost soul that's why you can't see me.
Raven processed slowly processed everything in her brain. "Wait if you can't touch anything then how are you writing with that chalk?"she asked as she looked up at the board as Denis wrote.
"When you become a lost soul the first two things you touch are the only things you will ever be able to touch while a lost soul. One thing is almost always insured to be the floor and the second depends. In my case I just happened to be playing with a piece of chalk in my pocket. Don't ask how it got there. It just was there. Anyway because I was walking and playing with a piece of chalk in my pocket at the same time I became a lost soul those are the only two things I can touch."
Raven looked at the chalkboard." So how long have you been a Lost Soul?"
"For Denis about two month's. For me about a week." Alley said from behind her.
"Wait if you've been a coma for a week... then why aren't you invisible?"
Alley shrugged and started to inspect her fingernails. Then pointed to the chalkboard where Denis was, yet again, writing.
"The reason that she's visible still is every now and then there's a person who comes along and there energy fades slower then everyone else's. Alley is a example of this it take her two days for her energy to fade equal to a normal person's 1 day."
"It's kind of like I have a good cup of coffee every second day!!!" Alley pipped up from behind Raven startleling her in the sudden change in noise. "Like you need a cup of coffee every second morning." Raven mumbled to herself. Of course Alley didn't hear her so she once again examined her fingernails.
"Uhhh... I guess that's what it could be compared to. Anyway I think I covered everything."
Alley looked up at the chalkboard "Uh... No!! You're still forgetting something. Remember Lost Soul's... bodies!! You know."
"Oh yeah... that. When I said your lucky if you find your body when you're a wandering soul. Well you are... because you can just hop right in. But when you're a lost soul. There's something else you have to do and... we haven't quite figured that out yet."
Raven's mouth dropped all she did was stare at the sentence and read it over and over again. The then Denis started to write again. "I'm not done. Well also when you become A Lost Soul... you life is in the hands of the fates. You can die at any moment."
I know this chapter was kind of boring but it was necessary to explain what's happening. Anyway I need idea's for what people need to do to get back in there bodies when there a lost soul... Although I won't need it for the next chapter I may need it for the one after. So if you have any ideas please suggest them when you review! If you do give me idea's I'll dedicate a chapter or a 1 shot to you and everyone else who gives me idea's. Thank You!! Oh and I now except Anonymous reviews!!
Lot's of Love
