A/N: Wow, I took a really long break huh? Well, here it goes. Don't worry, I won't try and put the story in anyone else's POV again. The last chapter didn't work out like I had hoped.
Disclaimer: I don't own the stuff that I don't own, however I do own the other stuff.
Beast Boy and Quake lay me down on the couch, while Gear and Static talked with Robin about Explozion. I looked around the room, so many heroes and two of them were already wounded, not that that's a big number, it's just Static is one of the most powerful ones and me, well I knew this city like the back of my hand. And I'm sure it'll be hard for me to get around with this broken rib. Actually, according to Raven I couldn't move at all for a few days so that was just great. Cyborg and Gear logged my wound, so they could see how quickly I was healing while Raven stood leaning on the wall, smiling. "Hey, Rae, will you come over here please?" Raven walked over to a corner, and began to talk with Terra and Starfire. I heard giggling and I rolled my eyes. I hated when girls did that. "OW!" Gear looked up at me and apologized with his eyes. Static walked over to me kinda stumbling, I guess his head still hurt. Wow, that was an understatement. "So, Robert, how you feelin'?" I looked up at him with one eyebrow raised, "I've felt better." "No doubt." We both laughed, and then I grimaced in pain. Note to self: No laughing. Suddenly, I heard someone gasp and scream, no guess whatsoever as to what the reason could be. Then I heard sounds of fighting and then sounds of pained grunts. I tried to look up, but no use. My rib hurt too much. Then I heard the sound of feet hitting the hardwood floor in my living room. "Hello, Hero." My eyes flew open and my jaw dropped, I recognized the voice or rather voices. It was Ebon and I had no idea why he was here, worse than that I got rid of my ice mask a long time ago, so he could see who I really was.
"Huh, what's so great about you that you got two girls vyin' for your attention." He leaned in closely and his white slits, or eyes as some would call 'em, squinted and he looked at my face studying every feature. I have to tell you, it's true what they say about bad guys, their breath stinks. "No," came a weak voice "Don't you touch him." I had to look up; I had to ignore the pain coursing through my body. Painfully, I strained my muscles so I could see who was defending me. I saw Raven's bruised figure on the ground, her hand outstretched and tears flowing down her pale cheeks. Ebon growled and held his own hand out, "Watchu gonna do about it, Titan? Throw me around?" With that his hand stretched out and completely covered her face, slowly suffocating her. Pain coursed through my body again, but not from my ribs. I stood up ignoring the pain from my ribs as adrenaline pulsed through my veins as I stood up, "Stop it, Ivan!" The shadow master looked back at me without moving his shoulders. "How do you know my name?" "Because I told him." Ebon looked up only to be struck on the jaw by an elongated fist. I ran over to Raven's side and held her up, checking her pulse. I sighed relieved, she was alive. She looked up at me and smiled, "Thank you." I smiled back and a short laugh escaped my lips, "No problem." Suddenly, both of our faces became calm and we kissed.
