Chapter 5

Recovery

Beast Boy woke up. His injuries weren't as bad as Raven's, and he woke up before her. His shoulder and stomach were bandged. He noticed that his headed was bandged too. 'I must have cut my head while I was under the rocks.' Beast Boy looked over at Raven. She had bandges going down both of her arms, around her stomach and chest (AN: Her leotard is still on. She was cut in the back when Slade hit her to the ground), there was a thick deep red ring around her neck, and bruises on the back of her neck. Beast Boy stared at Raven. 'She's so beautiful.' Raven slowly opened her eyes. She glanced over at Beast Boy and saw him staring at her. Raven blushed and turned away. Beast Boy stoped staring when he saw her blush. "Ummm ..." Beast Boy began, "Your awake."

"Yeah." Raven didn't feel like talking.

"Are you okay?" Beast Boy asked with concern.

"Yeah." Raven lied.

"That's good." Beast Boy paused, "I ... was worried." Beast Boy was embarassed. He blushed very slightly.

"Are you okay?" Raven didn't realize that she was worried about him too.

"I've been better." Beast boy was trying to think of a joke, but realized that it was the wrong time for one.

"Me too, but I still feel fine . . . What happened?" Raven had forgotten most of what happened.(AN: Not what her mom had said.)

"What's the last thing you remember?" Beast Boy asked.

"I was coming out of my mothers house then I saw you become piled under rocks. I remember everything before and after that. There's just this huge gap inbetween." Raven explained.

"Your memory should return in a few days." Cyborg entered the room followed by Robin and Starfire.

"Friends! You have awaken!" Starfire claped with joy. "This is most glorious. Would you like me to prepare a meal for you in celebration of you awakening?"

"I don't want anything." Raven sat up.

"Me niether." Beast Boy sat up too. Cyborg walked over to the computer.

"Now, what happened?" Robin said as he sat on a chair inbetween the two beds. Beast Boy and Raven told Robin what happened. Raven didn't tell him about Slade's threat though. "Do you know what he wanted." his voice began to fill with hatred.

"No." Raven lied. She thinking about what to do.

"Then we'll leave to let you guys rest." Robin walked out.

"Y'all better get better so we can kick Slade's ass." Cyborg and Starfire walked out. Raven and Beast Boy sat in silence for a few moments.

"How come you were the only one to show up?" Raven looked over at Beast Boy.

"Ummm . . . I was at a video game store." Beast Boy hoped that Raven believed him.

"oh. It's a good thing that you where there." Raven forced a smile.

Beast Boy saw through the smile. "Ummm ... Do you believe me?"

"Of course." Raven said. "Why do you ask?"

"Well your smile. It didn't look real." Beast Boy looked at her to see her reaction.

"Uhh." Raven didn't know that he was looking at her, "I believe you."

"Good. You said you went to you mom's apartment. Why did you go there?" Beast Boy want her to open up to him even though he already knew. He had a pretty good idea of what he should say.

"I just wanted to . . . say hi." Raven was trying to keep a straight face.

"It took that long just to say hi?" Beast Boy had a look of disbeilf on his face.

"Yeah." Raven voice was defending her.

"Whoa." Beast Boy was shocked. He had never seen Raven this emotional. (AN: They've only known each other for 4 months) "No need to get defensive. I was just saying that It took you a long time just to say hi to you mom."

"What are you implying?" Raven raised an eye brow.

"That you didn't go see your mom." Beast Boy pointed his finger at her.

"Of course I did." Raven was starting to get pissed off.

"Prove it." Prove it he waved his finger at her.

"It's none of your business." Raven looked away.

"I knew it! If you didn't go to mom's house then where did you go?" Beast Boy was waving his finger like crazy.

"I went to my mothers house and it's none of your business what we talked about!" Raven was pissed off.

"Well I wanted to know if you said anything about me." Beast Boy was trying to calm her down because knew that he didn't even come up in the conversation.

Raven's face went blank. She was totally surprised, and couldn't speak. "umm What is it to you if I did or not?" She finally spoke.

"Well I asumed that you told her that you joined the Titans, and I was wondering if you had mentioned me." Beast Boy smiled.

"I didn't even mention The Titans." Raven felt kind of bad.

"Oh." Beast Boys frowned. 'At least she isn't lying.'
