Well, this chapter is about what is the matter with Byrnes, and it must be important to break up the BBxT kiss. So here it is, enjoy.
Things to Come...
Beastboy ran into the hospital room to see all of the titans circled around Byrnes's bed. He heard screams, coming from Byrnes. Beastboy didn't know if he was alive, sleeping, dying, or pretending. Now one did. Beastboy pushed his way into the circle to see Byrnes lying in a puddle of his own sweat, still pouring. His hands were on his head, like he had a horrible headache, and he was shaking, screaming.
The other titans would try to calm him down, but every time they got close to him, they would be blown back by a gust of wind. They finally realized they couldn't touch him, so they stayed back, and were forced to witness his agony.
Inside his mind, Byrnes was being hung. A circle of Slade's stood around him, laughing at him, but whenever they tried taking a shot at him, he would blow them back. They were on a small hill, with a giant dead tree. He was being hung from one of the branches. Byrnes couldn't fly away, or break the rope, so he had to just dangle there, forever in pain, because he wouldn't die. He would just suffer. Rain was pouring on him, and lightning cracked every few minutes, after the massive thunder echoed away.
Just as the pain reached it's peak, he heard a sound, like non other. He managed to lift his head, and looked up into the sky, and saw the clouds splitting. A horrible ripping sound filled the area around them; the Slade's covered their ears, and fell to the ground dead. Byrnes was in extreme pain, but he could not die. He had to withstand the pain. Just as he felt his mind was ready to cave in on him, he saw something falling from the split in the clouds. It was surrounded by an evil looking black aura. A brilliant light flashed when the being hit the ground, but he couldn't see the landing, as it was so far away. The split in the clouds was filled, as the clouds seemed to be getting closer and closer to him. Was he flying into the sky? He looked down to see he was still hanging from the rope. And the rope was still attached to the tree, which was attached to the ground. He then noticed, after he lost his thought, that it wasn't him flying, but the sky falling.
It came crashing down upon him, as he was suffocated in the clouds. He shot up in bed, snapping back to reality. He sat up in bed to see everyone standing around him, with looks of pure terror upon their faces. Byrnes looked down to see his body drenched in sweat, along with the bed. He also saw everyone's worried faces.
"Guys...what's going on?" Byrnes asked
"Byrnes, I think you were having some kind of nightmare." Robin said, trying to diagnose the reason for Byrnes's actions while he was dreaming
"I was." Byrnes said
"Well then, everything's OK?" Beastboy asked
"I think I'll be alright. But I am going to take a shower now." Byrnes said with a smile on his face, as the sweat was sticking to his skin and clothes.
"Then I'll have to wash the sheets on this bed." He said as he stood up on his wobbly feet.
"Byrnes!" Terra said as she rushed up to him incase he fell again.
"Are you sure you can walk again?" She asked
"I don't know, but I don't have to worry about that right now." Byrnes said as he started floating in the air.
"Oh, you can fly again!" Terra said happily as Byrnes had seemingly regained his powers.
"Yeah, I think everything will be alright." Byrnes said as he floated out of the room, and towards one of the many bathrooms.
"I'll go ahead and take care of these sheets." Terra said as she pulled the sheets from the bed and the pillowcases off the pillows.
"You're going to do laundry?" Cyborg asked
"Yeah, I might as well." Terra said as she carried the beddings off to the laundry room.
"Well, that was a waste, he was just dreaming!" Beastboy said angrily after they had both left the room.
"Don't be so sure." Raven said
"Why, do you think there's something more to this than we think?" Beastboy asked
"This goes way deeper than even Byrnes is aware of."
"Then why didn't he tell us about it?"
"Because he's not sure of what's going on himself."
"Are you?"
"No."
"Well how are we supposed to find out?" Beastboy asked as he now frantically passed around the room.
"I suppose it's something that will only be revealed through time." Raven said, looking out the window at nothing in particular.
"Well if there's something we should be worrying about, time better reveal it soon." Beastboy said as he left Raven staring out into the rebuilding city.
"This is more significant than just a dream. This is something far more dangerous. But I don't know what it is. But I know we'll find out soon. And we'll be ready for whatever comes at us." Raven said as she too, turned around and left the room, empty.
