Recap: Robin looked to Marth and once more he had a look of understanding on his face as he fought Ariel.
Two hours later, All of the Titans were laying exhausted in the living room. Beastboy and Cyborg were once again playing Game station while Starfire watched, cheering them on. Raven lay sprawled out on the coach with Robin beside her waiting on her every need and making sure that she was completely healed.
"Are you sure you don't need anything else, Raven?" Robin asked with a worried look on his face.
"Yes, Robin for the one-hundredth time, I'm fine!" Raven said exasperated, but with a hint of affection in her voice.
Robin's countenance looked a little hurt until Raven added with a slight smile, "I know that you're just trying to be a good friend Robin, I'm ok though."
Ariel had been finished off by Raven, who had gathered up the last of her strength to hurl a deadly blow at her arch enemy. Once Apple saw that Ariel was gone, she merely said, "Well friends, now that she's gone, I guess we can like stop fighting, right? I mean, Beastboy, you are kinda cute." She said with the exuberant giggle of hers. The last part didn't really even have to do with anything except for the fact that when Apple had a crush, she felt the need to reveal it to everyone. Beast boy however, had a red face and hearts in his eyes.
"I don't know if we can trust you," Robin said, "how do we know that you don't want to kill us too?"
"I never really wanted to kill anyone," she said meekly and innocently, "I was just following orders, same as Athalina. But now that Ariel is gone, all is fine."
"I don't think she'd have the brains to trick us," Raven muttered to Robin, "I think we're fine for now."
"Ok, Apple, you can stay here, but you need to promise that you'll pull your share around here, and won't ever try to hurt anyone." Robin said in a serious voice.
"I promise." Apple said with a giggle, "Should I make some apple pie? You know, like me, apple?" she said laughing some more.
"I get it all right," Raven said, obviously not amused by Apple.
"Definitely, I love Apple pie. Would you like me to help you in the kitchen with that?" Beastboy said, clearly having more on his mind than apple pie.
"Sure," Apple grinned, clearly pleased that she had been able to charm Beastboy over. They both left the room, leaving Cyborg shaking his head with a smile, "Man, they are definitely not coming back for a while. Wanna give it a go?"
"Give what a go?" Starfire said confused.
"Well, I was talking about Game station, but if you had something else in mind..." Cyborg was cut short by Raven who said, "I'm sure she'd like to play Game station" rolling her eyes.
Robin had been sitting the whole time, just looking up at Raven, not wanting to look away from her delicate face for fear she might stop breathing. Raven could feel his eyes, making her uneasy in her seat. The whole times since Raven had been wounded, Robin had been paying particular attention to her.

Athalina was still laying on Raven's bed, with her eyes closed, just faintly breathing. She was not fully conscience yet. Her wound was healing, but she was still in shock, and wasn't able to move freely. Marth sat patiently, the whole time next the bed, watching for any signs of her waking up. He cared about Athalina more than anything else, and he was sure that if she died, he would too. He couldn't stop thinking about the fact that if he'd gone in peace, or never escaped from jail, none of this would have ever happened to her.
Eventually, Athalina's jet black eyelashes started to flicker. Marth fondly stroked her cool forehead trying to soothe her. Marth gently pushed her back as she struggled to get up, "You don't have the strength right now, just rest." he said quiescently.
As Athalina's eyes opened, she was glad that Marth was the first thing she saw. Just his presence, and the sight of his face instantly calmed her and made her feel at ease. "Thank you," she said weakly, closing her eyes once again to drift into a deep sleep.

The next morning, everyone rose to the smell of eggs, Beastboy's favorite breakfast food since he refused to eat meat. Robin walked into the kitchen to see him cooking with a somewhat rascally grin on his face.
"Have good night last night?" Robin asked, almost reading Beastboy's mind.
"You bet I did," Beastboy said, flashing Robin a roguish grin. "How 'bout you?"
"It was fine. Nothin' special." Robin replied indifferently.
Apple walked into the room sitting next to Beastboy at the kitchen table, not helping but to giggle. Robin and Raven sat next to each other on the opposite side, while Starfire and Cyborg entered from the living room, where they had been playing video games.
"The station game is very amusing." Starfire said.
Marth and Athalina entered next, sitting down to eat breakfast. The color was back in Athalina's face and she appeared to be doing much better.

Next chapter Kara will probably write. I don't know. I hope this chapter turned out ok. As always, reviews are always appreciated.
