It had been a week since Beast Boy's operation and one week of more boredom than one person should stand in a lifetime. All Raven did all day was sit beside Beast Boy's bed and whenever he'd wake up, make sure he didn't squirm to much. She wasn't even allowed to go on calls because no one would be there to look after the poor little changeling.
Raven was bored, she liked solitude but even the Goth girl had her limits. Today wasn't so bad, Beast Boy was staying awake longer so she had someone to talk to, but even today she was already finding him quite annoying.
"Raven can you get me some water?"
Raven gritted her teeth and got up to get the water. She hadn't finished one page of her new book because Beast Boy always had something new for her to do.
She brought back the water as she bit back a comment. She just kept telling herself, "I promised Cyborg, I promised Cyborg"
"Raven?"
"Yes Beast Boy"
"Could I have another blanket? I'm cold"
Raven sighed and went over to the closet and pulled out a thick wool blanket.
"Here" she said practically throwing it at him.
"Could you spread it out for me?"
She was about to loose it when Cyborg walked in.
"Hey! Beast Boy my man, you're up!"
"Hey Cy, what's up?"
"Aw you know man, working on the T-Car, fightin' bad guys. Same 'ol same 'ol."
Beast Boy nodded in understanding.
Raven sighed and plopped down on the chair she had hardly been able to sit in for the past three hours.
"Hey Raven you ok?" Cy asked her
"I'm fine, I'm just tired" she smiled at him
"Hey how come you smile at him and not me?" Beast Boy asked pouting.
"I'm going to meditate" she declared leaving the room before anyone could protest.
She walked up to the roof and sat down beside the edge.
"Azrath Metrion Xinthos" She repeated this until she heard footsteps behind her, and Cyborg sat down beside her.
For a while they didn't say anything, just sat in silence. Then Cyborg spoke.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing" Raven said not revealing anything about how she was feeling.
"I know you better than that Rae, something's bugging you"
Raven turned to face Cyborg
"Alright, it's Beast Boy. Ever since he's been awake he's been asking for everything, water, blankets, he even asked if I could wipe him!"
Cyborg cringed "I'll talk to him about that one"
"I didn't know he was like this! He's annoying!"
"You gotta give it some time. I know he's annoying, it's his way of trying to fit in."
"Someone should tell him it's not working"
Cyborg gave a soft laugh.
"Just stick with it for a little longer ok?"
Raven sighed "Ok, but you know I'm only doing this because you asked me to"
"I know"
Raven stood up, "I suppose I should go tend to baby"
Cyborg stood up and gave her a tight hug "It'll be over soon"
They walked back into the tower and went their separate ways.
Raven walked into Beast Boy's room and saw him look up at her.
"Hi," he said
"Hi" she went over and sat down opening her book.
"Raven?"
She stiffened at the sound of her name.
"Yes?"
"Thanks"
Now that she wasn't expecting and it apparently showed on her face.
"I know I haven't been the best patient but I really do appreciate what you're doing for me."
"Your welcome"
"Whatcha reading?"
"A book about Magik"
"Cool"
"Yeah"
Silence
"Well I'll let you get back to your book" he turned and started playing his X-Box again.
Raven started to read. It was the first time today that she felt at peace.
