Chapter 11: Recovering From Hell

Lucius heard Raven walk in and gasp seeing him at the couch watching television. He was afraid of what she'd say once she saw the reason he was feeling better, after all he'd never hold her the same way again. Raven saw a metallic gleam come into view as she rounded the couch. She saw his metallic armshine from the light off the sun in the common room and held her hand to her mouth. "My God." she said coming closer to him, not fully beliving what she was seing. "My arm could'nt be saved so..here i am in all my mechanical glory." he said with his trademark "dont worry" smile. Raven came to him and sat down hugging him tightly, "I'm just glad your alive Lucius." He smiled and ran his new arms fingers through her hair sighing as he could not feel the softness of it with that hand any more. "It'll definatly get some taking use to but.." Lucius said but was cut off as Robin and Starfire came into the room. "Friend Lucius! you are moving around now?" Starfire said concerned but clearly happy. "Yeah Starfire, my body recoverd from the surgery so I'm fine." he said reasuring her. Robin just smiled back at them and laid the shopping bags in Starfires room, he was still a little afraid of Lucius. I mean who wouldnt be after they saw what he could become.

FLASHBACK

Jynx had prepped the infirmary and Cyborg ran in with the medical equipment they'd need. Starfire came through the door with Lucius, laying him on the table. "Do you think our friend Lucius will be alright?" Starfire said to Robin. "I dont know Star, he looks pretty bad but he'll pull through." Robin said escorting her to the waiting room.

Beast Boy and Terra were in there trying to think of a way to get back at the scum who did this. "I bet it was that other guy that Lucius was talking about that did it, what was his name.. chivs?" Terra raised her shoulders. Starfire decided to just go to sleep on the couch in the room, she had enough stress for one day. Robin, Jynx, and Cyborg had they're hand full, Lucius had stopped bleeding but his vitals were bad. "We need a bag of O- blood Robin, get a bag from the storage unit over there." Cyborg pointed to the blood freezer. "Sure thing." Jynx had just put an I.V. in when she heard a low growl. "Um..Cyborg, I think he's growling." she said a little nervous. Cyborg was to busy checking his vitals to realize that Lucius had opened his eyes and the color was black as the darkest night. "Cyborg I think he's...." Jynx was cut short as her throat was grabbed and bieng sqweezed by Lucius's good arm. Cyborg looked up and saw the girl he loved being strangled, "WHAT THE HELL!" he said as he hit Lucius's elbow joint causing him to lose his grip. Jynx fell to the floor gagging as she tried to breath, her throat was brused even after only being in his grasp for a second. Robin came back to see the whole thing and he restrained Cyborg from killing the already severly wounded Lucius. "He probly thought he was under attack again Cyborg!" he said trying to reason his friend. They restrained the demonically possesed Lucius and continued the operation till about three in the morning. Jynx had to go to her room and sleep to stop the pain.

Jynx didn't want to be near any one but Cyborg right then. She was afraid of Lucius and didnt want to see him for awhile, understandingly as her throat was still very sore. Cyborg was inside her room sitting on her bed stroking her back, "He really didn't mean it baby, he just was afraid and attacked." She nodded and mouthed "I know" at Cyborg, she knew that he didnt mean it but it still scared her. She hadnt recieved physical damage like that since that day she made Brother Blood mad at her in H.I.V.E.

She just smiled at Cyborg and cuddled close to him. Starfire and Terra were talking in Star's room and the topic was, of course, Raven. "She seems to be taking it pretty well really." Terra said as she held one of Starfire's purple skirts up to her. "This is true but I belive she and Lucius need some time to just relax." Starfire replied as she tried on a new shirt she had bought. Terra agreed then an idea hit her, "We could always head out to that concert on pier 12, that should cheer them up..or at least take their minds of it for a while." Starfire smiled from ear to ear and nodded, "Thats exactly what they need is good eathly entertainment!"

Robin and Beast Boy had just finished training for the day and sat down on the workout rooms floor. Beast boy was noticably stronger now, with his hard training giving him a quad pack that Terra fell in love with. Robin had stopped being so skinny and was beginning to get very muscular himself. Both of them had trained harder because of all the attacks, so that they could defends the ones they cared and loved. "Hey Beast boy..how are you and Terra?" Beast Boy rolled on the floor hugging himself and squeled like a gerbil. Robin laughed "That good huh?" he said sighing heavily and gazing out the window. "Take it your having problems with Starfire." Beast boy said as he sat back up. Robin nodded "Im not sure what she thinks B.B., I mean I know I love her but does she feel the same way." Beast Boy just got up and streched letting out a bears yawn. "Dude, you and her have always had that thing between you where all of us know she loves you as much as you love her." and with that Beast Boy left. Robin just smiled and rubbed his eyes.

Raven and Lucius were meditating on the roof together. Calming their emotions was an absolute must at this point, Considering they both had inner demons to fight. Her emotions and father were put in their place and his ancient curse was calmed. After they had awakened from their trances, Raven had brought them tea and a small snack of rice and chicken. "I never knew you were such a good cook angel." Lucius said tasting her chicken and rice. Raven smirked, "Theres a lot of things you still dont know about me." she said coyly. Lucius laughed a little and cuddled up to her as they ate, enjoying each other and the morning air. Just after they finished Terra and Starfire came up to them with smiles and two tickets. "What are these for?" Raven said wondering what the two were scheming, she didnt want any stupid suprises. "Please friends take these tickets to the concert and go." Starfire said handing them the two concert tickets. Lucius smiled at Starfire and nodded, he knew she just wanted them to have time alone and to be away from the tower for awhile. "Okay Starfire, we need a little time away from this place anyway."

Legato: Finally a little r&r for Lucius and Raven
