Random quote #4: "You live with your thoughts, so be careful what they are." –Eva Arrington.
Chapter 4
"It's alright, Starfire." Robin said the weeping girl in his arms, although he knew in his heart that it wasn't.
"B-but it is not!" She protested, yet agreed with him, still sobbing into his chest, "She ma-ay be dy-ing, and I a-am not there with he-er!"
Even more tears continued to fall from her eyes, soaking Robin's wet spotted shirt even more. If it were possible.
'Why is this happening to us?' She asked herself, shutting her eyes tightly. 'What have we done to deserve this?'
Robin held her in his arms, gently rubbing small circles in her back, trying to think of a way to cheer her up. He really wasn't very good at it.
Beast boy usually handled things like this, either with his jokes, or with his amazing ability to bring joy to those around him.
But he wasn't here right now. Even if he was, he isn't in one of the happiest of moods to be of much help to Robin's current dilemma.
Then, it hit him, like lightening does the ground in a summer storm.
Maybe, if he did that...
"Starfire?" He asked, looking down into the green eyes of the girl he held in his arms. He hoped it would work, for both their sakes.
"Yes?" She answered, blinking away tears that threatened to give way to the everlasting pull of gravity and fall to the floor.
"Let's go check on Raven." He said, smiling.
Starfire nodded gratefully, finally smiling also, and soon they were waking out the door.
'He looks so peaceful.'
Cyborg stood behind the couch, where he had laid the sleeping form of Beast boy. The poor kid worn himself out crying.
He couldn't believe that the boy snoozing calmly right in front of him, was the same one who had been sobbing in his arms, blaming himself for what happened to Raven. Whatever did happen.
'Maybe I'll ask him when he wakes up.' He thought to silently himself, standing up and, trying to not make a sound, crept over to the still boy, pulling the blanket snugger around him.
Raven was alone, abandoned in her own mind, in her own darkness. She knew nothing, but the silence that seemed to engulf her, strangle her, whenever she didn't fight it of.
All she could feel was the numbness of her mind, the blankness of it all, and the incessant throbbing of her temples.
'Where am I?' Her thoughts echoed to her.
When she heard no reply, she began to panic. There was always someone, something there, that would answer her, tell her of all it knew about her question.
'Hello?'
'Is anyone there?'
'Beast boy, are you here? Answer me!'
'Starfire?'
'Robin?'
'Cyborg?'
'Beast boy?!'
Beast boy's eyes suddenly shot open. He quickly jumped up off the couch, wide awake, and scared Cyborg, who was still tucking him in, half to death.
Cyborg fell to the floor in his surprise with a loud 'thud' and sat there, staring at Beast boy with half the blanket on top of him, half of it under him.
Beast boy looked around the somewhat empty room feverishly, as if searching for the face of a person who had called his name from the middle of a crowd.
"Raven?" He asked to the non-speaking air of the Tower and the metal teen sitting before him who, at the moment, thought he was losing his mind.
