I woke up again in Starfire's arms. She was taking me solemnly down the hallway to the medical wing. When she looked down at me and saw that I was awake, she gave me a sad little grin. "Friend......." She trailed off. She looked as if she was about to cry.
We entered the hospital wing and I saw Raven and Cyborg on two beds already.
A single tear rolled down Star's cheek when she saw her friends in the hospital beds. I tried to say something to comfort her, but my throat was very hoarse. I just smiled weakly as she laid me on my back onto their hospital bed. My wings were pushed so that they cupped my body when she did that.The sheets and the soft pillows felt so good, I welcomed the blackness that ensued sleep.
A day later
(Raven's POV)
I sat up abruptly in bed. My head hurt. I went to rub it but then I felt that the skin of my arm was tight. I had an IV in my arm.
'I can heal myself. Why did they do that?' I thought to myself.
There was no one else in the room, so I tore off the tape and slid the thin needle out. A bead of blood popped out, so I pressed two fingers to the prick to stop it.
I looked to my right and saw Alexiel. Her feathers were matted with blood, and her forehead was wrapped in gauze. A small rosette of blood had soaked into the bandages. Her shoulder was wrapped too, but it was not bleeding.
'What would they do if I couldn't heal? Maybe they'd actually have to heal by themselves.....' I placed my hand on her forehead and concentrated. A purplish light emenated from my hand as I put splintered bone back together and sealed capilaries. Then I focused on her shoulder. It was an impact fracture. Nothing I couldn't handle.
I turned to Cyborg. He was definitely a mess. Everywhere there was human skin, there was some sort of gash. It took a while, but I eventually healed all the cuts.
You might not know this, but healing more than one person takes a lot out of you. That is why I clambered into bed and pulled the covers over my head to shut out the sunlight so I could sleep.
(Beast Boy's POV)
I walked in and saw Raven with the blankets over her head. I saw her foot kick under the blanket.
"Raven...... I brought you some herbal tea if you are.... up to it." My last three words came out in a squeak.
She lowered the blankets from over her head and sighed in a sarcastic way, as always, but I knew that she was grateful. (I hope)
I walked over to her bed and sat down on the corner. I handed the mug of tea to her.
"Feeling any better?" I asked.
"I guess so. Who's bright idea was it to put an IV in my arm"
"Robin's." I paused to rub the back of my neck self-conciously. "He didn't know if you needed any help or not"
"I didn't"
She got out of bed and drifted halfway down the hall. She stopped, and without turning around to meet my gaze, she said, "Thanks for the tea."
