Clueless

Chapter 15:

They left the body outside the police department and banged on the doors to get their attention. Then, as though possessed, they headed for the Tower as fast as they could go.

Cyborg reached the Tower and immediately headed for the infirmary. Placing Raven and Starfire in beds, he worked on Star first, because she had lost so much blood. Quickly and efficiently, he assessed the internal damage and gave a sigh of relief. No vital organs had been hit. He disinfected the gash and stitched her up with lightning speed, then applied healing balm and wrapped her stomach. He hooked her up to the emergency blood supply all the titans had given when they first joined, then hooked up the vital sign detectors.

"How is she?" Raven rasped from across the room. She sounded brittle and weak. Cyborg winced.

"Not good. There's not enough blood here, and I don't know if she can make that much blood in the time she has. She just lost so much blood…" He said helplessly. Raven shook her head weakly.

"No, Star will be fine." She whispered. "She's a fighter." Having done all he could for Starfire, he came over to Raven and took a quick blood test to figure out what kind of poison BB had injected into and stared at the results.

"I'm dying, aren't I, Cy?" Raven was staring at the ceiling. Cyborg fought back tears and nodded slowly. She screwed her eyes shut.

"How long?"

"About four hours." He said weakly, he glared at the wall and clenched his fists. "But I'm going to find the cure." He said forcefully. "And you're going to fight this. You're going to get through it." Cyborg then hooked her up to the detectors silently and dashed from the room to his lab.

Raven looked over at Starfire. She had never seen her so pale. Raven started to cough then relaxed as her vision went fuzzy. She had just closed her eyes when Beast Boy and Nightwing burst into Titan's Tower and sprinted to the infirmary.

"Where's Cyborg?" Beast Boy said breathlessly.

"His lab." Raven whispered and started to cough again. Beast Boy rushed to her and took her hand.

"Rae…" He said, tears in his eyes.

"It wasn't your fault." She said immediately. "You couldn't have done anything." She opened her eyes and raised a shaking hand to brush away his tears. "You didn't do it, Slade did. I don't blame you." He covered her hand with his and brought it to his lips, kissing her hand softly.

"What's the damage?" Nightwing asked from Star's bedside. He was stroking her cheek. Raven winced and closed her eyes.

"Star has lost way too much blood, and Cy isn't sure if she'll be able to make enough blood for herself in time. I know she will though. She's a fighter." Nightwing nodded and drew up a stool by his love's bed. Beast Boy however continued to stare at her.

"And… you…?"

"And I…" she gulped, "have four hours to live." She whispered. Beast Boy backed away.

"No!" He ran to Cyborg's room.

Three hours, 56 minutes later:

"YES!" Cyborg and Beast Boy yelled. They had finally refined the cure. They sprinted back to the infirmary and found Nightwing by Raven's bed. When he saw them he beckoned them frantically.

"She's having a seizure!" He cried. BB dashed to her side and grabbed her hand as Cyborg helped the twitching girl sit up and pour the solution down her throat. They all waited with baited breath and then the seizure subsided. Cyborg took her vitals and grinned.

"She's stabilizing, but these next few hours are crucial." He blinked several times. "Dude! I sound like one of them soap opera doctors!" He adopted a mock serious look and placed a hand on BB's shoulder. "I'm sorry sir, but your girlfriend has an acute malaria that is fatal. She will die in four seconds. I am sorry." Beast Boy threw up his arms and "screamed" at the sky.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Both he and Cyborg cracked up, rolling on the floor. Nightwing's temple was going.

"HELLO! MY GIRLFRIEND IS LYING OVER THERE, DYING!" He shouted. Both of them shut up and looked at him apologetically.

"Sorry, dude."

"Sorry, man." Cy went over to Star and checked her vitals. "She looks a lot better but we'll know in the next few hours." He looked at the two, who were staring at the faces of their loved ones. "There's nothing more we can do…" Both glared at him and he shrank down. "But I realize you're not going to move soooooooo…" He edged towards the door. "Bye!" He zipped out of the room. Beast Boy connected Raven and Star's bed with other beds for them and laid down on the one next to Raven, taking her hand and closing his eyes. Nightwing did the same, planting a kiss on Star's cheek before falling asleep.

Several hours later, in the weeeeeeeeeeee hours of the morning:

Starfire woke to a searing pain in her side, and a weight on her hand. Wincing, she turned her head and saw Nightwing. He was holding her hand and his face was tearstained. Her face softened. Her kiss must have worked. She turned the other way and saw Raven and Beast Boy. Her face creased with worry; she hoped her friends were okay. She turned back to Nightwing.

"Dick…" she said softly, "Dick…" He started to stir.

"Star…?" He murmured and opened his eyes slowly. She smiled and painfully stroked his hand.

"Hello…" She whispered. His eyes snapped open and he leaned over and kissed her passionately.

"You had me so worried!" He gasped as they broke apart. She winced and held her bandaged side, through which you could see blood. He stared before leaping up and redressing her wound. Ignoring the pain, she smiled at him.

"Thank you." She said when he had finished and laid back down.

"You're more than welcome." He said softly. "Now sleep." She smiled one last time and complied. Caressing her cheek, he followed suit.

Minutes later, Raven groaned softly as she entered the conscious world.

"Ohh, my head…" She moaned. Beast Boy jerked awake.

"Rae!" He exclaimed. Raven smirked.

"Quiet, block head!" She hissed playfully. Beast Boy paid no heed and simply grabbed her and kissed her fiercely.

"Don't ever do that to me again!" He whispered, looking deep into her eyes. She shakily wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled him lovingly.

"I don't plan to." She told him. He smiled and held her protectively and they fell asleep in each other's arms.

And everything was right with the world.
