Well this chapter is about Byrnes waking up, and getting to talk to Raven and Terra a little bit. Then beastboy and Terra try to get intimate. But will everything work out well?
Almost
Byrnes was walking down a long dark hallway. But there was nothing under him. He tripped. He rolled over to see a mask less Slade on top of him. Slade started punching him in the face, until all he could see was red. He then felt like he was being lifted up. Then he saw all white. He was staring up into the face of a pretty girl. She had long dark hair, and a beautiful smile. She ran her fingers through his hair, and disappeared. He was reaching for her; he wanted her to come back.
In reality, Byrnes had his hand all over Raven's face. He looked like he was reaching for something. Raven quickly removed his hand from her face. Terra couldn't help but laugh at Raven, as her hair was all messed up, and she had the most confused look on her face Terra had ever seen.
Byrnes awoke to the sound of his sister's laughter, and couldn't help but smile.
"Byrnes!" Terra yelled as she grabbed him in a giant bear hug.
"Hi Terra." Byrnes choked out as he was inflating like a balloon from the grip Terra had on him.
He had a great look of pain on his face, but a little bit of happiness was also mixed in. Terra soon realized this and let go. Byrnes dropped back to the bed, gasping for breath.
"I don't need anymore suffocation, okay Raven?" Byrnes said with a small smile on his face, not really anticipating Raven to hug him like that, but just to be funny
"I know that, you're severely injured, and don't need any more damage!" Raven said, her last words directed at Terra.
"I know, I'm sorry Byrnes." Terra said, realizing what she had done
"Oh, it's ok Terra, don't worry about it!" Byrnes said as he sat up in bed.
"I'll go get you breakfast." Raven said as she left the room. She was blushing.
"Okay, thanks." Byrnes said as she left.
"Byrnes, can I ask you something?" Terra asked
"Sure, what is it?"
"Well, when Slade does come back again, do you think we can defeat him? We tried our hardest last time, and we still couldn't beat him."
"Terra, you also forget, I couldn't use the Shine Reaver on him. As soon as I get better, we'll face him again, and I'll slice him into a million pieces, so don't worry about it." Byrnes said grinning, as he turned in his bed to get to his feet.
"Byrnes! You can't get up and walk around, you don't even know the extent of your injuries!" Terra said worriedly
"I think I'd know whether I can get up and walk or not Terra." Byrnes said happily as he rose to his feet.
His legs were shaking under him as he tried to take a step. His legs gave out from under him, and he blacked out as he fell. In his mind, he could tell he was falling, but didn't know where he was falling, or when he would stop. He felt someone's arms around him, and he looked up to see the girl from his dreams. She pulled him up to his feet, and disappeared. Byrnes's eyes opened to cold tile, as Terra, unfortunately, didn't catch him.
"I told you that you shouldn't be trying to walk!"
Terra then lifted him up, and helped him back into bed. It felt like his mind was all over the place, his head hurt and he was dizzy. He was sweating bullets as his eyes stared out into space. It wasn't just the fall that caused this. The injuries to his head were far more severe than he realized.
Terra called Cyborg into the room to check on him. There were no new injuries, but his head damage had been disturbed, causing him to fade out. Cyborg and Terra then left the room, for Byrnes had to sleep now and shouldn't be disturbed. Soon after that, Raven appeared through a wall, with a tray with breakfast on it. She walked over and set the tray on the small desk next to his bed. She noticed his hair was in his face, so she wiped it away with her hand. His forehead was cold. She then checked his hand, and it was cold as well. She kept her hand in his, trying to warm it. After a few minutes of this, his hand finally warmed up.
Raven then stood up from the bed, and walked back towards the door. As she silently opened it, she looked back towards Byrnes. She still felt something very special coming from him, but she couldn't put her finger on it. But she knew it was something. And she would find out. She closed the door behind her, and a small smile crept across her face. She walked back to her room, and closed the door behind her.
Terra was sitting in her room, by herself. She was staring out the window, at the city that was slowly being rebuilt.
"Terra." Beastboy said happily as he entered the room.
"Hi Beastboy."
"You seem to be taking it OK." Beastboy said.
"Taking what OK?" She asked, but she knew exactly what he meant.
"Byrnes's injuries."
"They are pretty severe." Terra said.
"Yeah, he had a hell of a fight with Slade." Beastboy replied.
"I know, but I couldn't help him." Terra said sadly
"Terra what are you talking about?"
"He didn't want me to help him fight him! I don't know why he wouldn't accept my help? Then he almost got himself killed! The idiot..." She said as a tear ran down her face, but she quickly wiped it away.
"You know why he didn't want you to fight with him, you could have been killed too."
"I know, he told me but...I didn't want to listen."
"He just wants you to be safe, and not end up like he is now."
"In the state he is in now..." Tears started coming down her face at the thought of her lying in the bed next to Byrnes.
"Me being as injured as he is..." Terra fell back on her bed, just trying to imagine the pain he must be going through, and for her to experience that pain, would be mind-boggling.
"It's OK Terra, you know that we'll always be there to help you." Beastboy said as he put his hand on her shoulder as she sat back up.
"Thanks Beastboy, I know I have great friends who will always be here for me."
At that, Beastboy moved in for another kiss, he wrapped his arms around her and bent her back; her hair was dangling perfectly behind her. Just as their lips began to touch, Robin burst into the room.
"Guy's we need you in the hospital room, quick!" Robin shouted as he quickly dashed down the hall back to the hospital room.
"Byrnes!" Terra screamed as she jumped to her feet and ran out of the room as fast as she could.
Beastboy sat on the bed, speechless, realizing what had happened, and the moment he and Terra had just missed out on. But he knew the well being of his friend was more important than his romances for now, so he rose to his feet and ran to the hospital room to join his friends.
Okay, there it was. Even more suspence!!!!!!!!!!! Something must be the matter with Byrnes, and it must be important to break up the highly anticipated Beastboy/Terra kiss! R&R, and check back soon, to see what happens next! Thanks, peace.
