Disclaimer-I don't own Teen Titans
Raven landed in front of the hospital, trying to focus her mind, it would be very bad if she lost control here. Beast Boy hoped off her shoulder and massaged his own, she put her hand on it and they walked in. There were very few people in the waiting room, Starfire was easily spotted.
"Beast Boy, go find anyone who can tell you about Robin, I'll take care of Starfire." He just nodded and headed off, as Raven approached Starfire she felt the misery within her. "Starfire?" Raven asked apprehensively, nothing, "Star, talk to me, I can feel your guilt, tell me." She waited, but got nothing, "look, Robin will be fine, he'll bounce back, he always does." She gave a smile as she said it, Starfire didn't even look, Raven wasn't getting anywhere. "Look, I'll help you get cleaned up, will that make you feel better?"
Starfire looked at Raven with the look of utmost misery on her face, then pulled her into a hug and wept on her shoulder. Raven returned it, gently rubbing Starfire's back, "yes, let's," she said between sobs. Raven helped Starfire to her feet and helped her to the bathroom, then she looked down at Starfire and silently prayed for help.
Beast Boy had no idea what to do, there was a desk, but no one was behind it, and all thoughts that passed him gave him mean looks. After a few minute of looking lost and confused someone spoke to him.
"Well, you don't look so good, but luckily you're in the right place," a young sandy haired man sized him by the left shoulder, the wounded one. Beast Boy gave a small yelp and felt himself being dragged by the young doctor.
"Uh, dude,"
He wasn't paying attention "you're lucky, it looks as you are almost dead green, if I hadn't found you. But I did, and I'll have you know I'm one of the finest pediatricians here, so no need to worry."
But Beast Boy was worried, the doctor kept squeezing his shoulder painfully and he was also worried about Robin Starfire and Raven. "I think you can stop, I'm fine, I just need to find my friend."
He still wasn't paying attention, "no need for thanks, that can be done if we can find an empty room." He continued dragging Beast Boy down the hall, and Beast Boy's patience ran out.
He morphed into a large bear, the doctor gave a shout and fell over, he shifted back, and glared at the doctor. "Listen, I'm not sick, this is how I always look, I'm Beast Boy," the doctor's eyes grew wider. "You know me then, I want to know what happened to my friend, Robin."
The doctor slowly got up, regained his composer and heaved a grate sigh, "I can't," he said somberly.
"You can't, or you won't," asked Beast Boy angrily.
"Look, that's not how things are run, it doesn't matter that you live together, if you're not family, you can't know."
"Well then, I'm Robin's brother," Beast Boy knew he wouldn't buy it, but it was worth a shot.
"Look, I sometimes don't like it either, but it's policy, I could put my job on the line, I'm sorry, but that's the way thing are run." With that he left Beast Boy alone in the hall, he was mad.
In a movement he flipped out his communicator, "Cy, buddy, you there?"
"Yea BB, what's up, how's Robin?"
"Couldn't tell you, that can only tell family, he said it was policy," he gave a small growl.
"I figured as much, that's way I made a call,"
Before Beast Boy could ask whom he called he felt a pull on his shirt, he looked down and saw a little girl.
"Excuse, me, but did you say you is Beast Boy?" she was about seven, short brown hair with shining brown eyes.
"I'll talk to you later," he said to Cyborg, then looked at the girl, "yes I am, and who are you?"
"I'm Hope, and I've always wanted to meat a titan," she smiled at him, he smiled back.
"Well, is there anything you want?" he was in a hurry, but didn't want her to know.
"Yes, I want you to become my favorite animal, the duckbilled-platypus," she said with a flourish. Best Boy was happy to do it, the girl gave an excited squeal, and gave him a hug. After a few minutes Beast Boy changed back, said bye and left the girl, his sprit, slightly higher.
"You know Starfire you could show a little optimism," boy there was an iconic statement if she ever heard one. Raven was trying to get Starfire to talk while cleaning up as much of the blood as she could. Raven decided to go into her mind, true it wasn't what she wanted to do, but she had to uncover this. She went slowly, she was still weak from all that happened, the only problem was there was too much in her way. Regret, despair, guilt, pain, loss, hurt, it was too much for Raven's weakened state. She let out a groan, she was back in the bathroom, 'well, let's go back, maybe Beast Boy found something.'
She turned to leave but was grabbed around the neck by Starfire "Raven, I don't want to lose anyone."
Raven gently patted her arm, "don't worry, you aren't going to lose anyone, I promise," but it was a promise she wasn't sure she could keep.
Beast Boy found a waiting room that was empty of the two he needed to see the most, he saw some others and decided to ask them where they were.
"pardon me," no answer, he looked closer, they were asleep, 'figures,' he thought, they were the only two around. He plopped back in a chair and waited, not five minutes had gone by when he heard a familiar voice.
"See, I told you, it's Beast Boy, and I know him, don't I?"
Beast Boy looked down, indeed it was the same girl, only a boy who looked just like her was beside her. "Well, that's just supper, the green one, woopty do, look at me I can change into any animal, big deal."
Beast Boy raised an eyebrow, 'man this guy has sarcasm that rival's Raven,' "yes thank you and it is a pleasure to meet you."
He grinned, the boy sneered "sis, I'll see you back at the room, have fun with the grass stain over here." He left with a small wave, Beast Boy turned to the girl.
"Your brother seemed very nice," he grinned.
"I'm sorry about him, he doesn't like you that much," she lowered her head.
"Yea, I kind of got that, but at least I know I got one fan," she smiled.
"Listen, I want you to meet my other friends, can you come, please?" she gave him puppy dog eyes.
Beast Boy sighed, "not right now, I'm kind of waiting on some friends, but write down your room number and I'll be there as soon as I can."
"That would be good," she told him where she was and he wrote it down, smiling they both said goodbye.
'That's one of the best reasons why I love doing this, all toughs happy faces,' at that moment two unhappy faces came into view. "Raven, Star, where were you, looking at all the cute doctors."
Raven glared at him and shook her head, then in a whisper, "Starfire is at the breaking point, this is no time for jokes."
He looked at Starfire, "come on Star, don't be worried about Rob, he is way to tough and stubborn to kick to bucket." Starfire sat down, silent.
"Beast Boy's right," she actually said that, "Robin will be fine," nothing still from Starfire.
"By the way Beast Boy, what did you learn about Robin?" Raven asked turning her attention to him.
Beast Boy was in a good mood from meeting Hope, that died at Raven's question, he took a deep breath, they weren't going to like this "nothing."
Starfire's head shot up, but Raven was the first to ask, "what do you mean nothing?" she decided to ask before accusing him of anything.
"The doctor I talked to said that only family is allowed to know, no exceptions," he said with a great sigh.
Raven could understand that, Starfire however couldn't, she snapped, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO EXCEPTIONS!" She grabbed Beast Boy's collar and stared shaking him while yelling at him. "We all are like Robin's family, why can't they just tell us, we have to know." As she was yelling Raven was trying to get her off Beast Boy, but was having little luck. "It's there fault those, those," the next of her word were obviously a combined cursing of both English and Tameranian. It seemed to go on for quite some time, and it drove Raven to the breaking point.
SLAP! Raven's hand went hard over Starfire's face, "enough," she said in a cold voice. Starfire released Beast Boy who looked stunted, then she sank to her knees, "stop this now. Feeling sorry for yourself and cussing out the doctors or gunmen isn't going to get Robin any better. So stop," Raven eyes narrowed, then relaxed, she knelt by Starfire "I'm sure Robin wouldn't like to see you like this, be strong for him." She then hugged Starfire who returned it, Beast Boy smiled and sat in a nearby chair.
"All right I'm going to regret saying this, by Robin," all attention turned to the doctor who just entered the waiting room. In an instant all three were on him, 'I knew I'd regret it.'
"You had better tell us something or I'm going to make you need a doctor," Raven threatened.
"All right, all I can tell you is that we're preparing him for surgery, things are slightly more complex then first though."
He wasn't going to leave on that, Starfire, Raven and Beast Boy blocked him from leaving, "please tell us more. We whish to know what has happened to our friend," Starfire looked desperately at him.
"Look I'm sorry, but I can't tell you unless, say Batman comes strolling up to this hospital and taps me on the shoulder."
At that moment someone tapped him on the shoulder, shaking he looked back, and when pure white.
"Isn't that funny," standing right in front of him looking ready to kill was none other then Batman himself.
