Ch.3 Rude Awakenings

"Where am I?" Raven awoke to the ceiling of the hospital wing.

"What happened?" She raised her hand to her head and realized there was a bandage over it. She looked around and found out it was 11:38 the next day. The fan was making its low clicking sound. Raven looked to her right and saw Beast boy on a stretcher next to hers. He was covered in gauze and had an eye patch on. There was a cast on one of his legs. Raven spotted a note on the nightstand.

We're in the living room

-Who do you think-

Raven stood, lopsided, she had a foot brace on. She wobbled to the kitchen and stood in the doorway observing her fallen comrades. Robin's neck sported a brace; a black eye peeked under the ice pack. Starfire was covered in bruises mostly in her midsection. Cyborg had a deep gash in his arm and was missing a few plates of his blue thingy stuff. When Raven entered the room they all stared at her. She sighed and retreated to her room to sleep off the pain.

"Raven, Raven?" Raven steadily awoke to the knocking of Starfire on her door

"Raven, we are going to the park if you would care to join us" Raven opened the door and startled Starfire.

"Eeep!"

"Calm down Star, come in."

"We are leaving soon and I wish to know if..."

"What happened yesterday, Starfire?" asked Raven.

"I suppose this is a subject in which needs explaining." Starfire entered the room and closed the door. She called Robin and spilled.

"Come when you're ready," replied Robin. She closed the COM and sat in an odd shaped chair.

"What of last night do you remember, Raven?"

"I remembered a lot of killing, them I blacked out." Starfire then started to pout, then cry.

"We were so angered by the death of the woman that we didn't even realize we were killing normal people. That basterd Silver Strike made it even worse by making us fight with our bare hands."

"I know that, but what happened after I blacked out?"

"You hollered at him a bit, then he toyed with your mind and emotions."

"Did you guys beat him to a pulp?" questioned Raven.

"No, Raven, you did."

"What could I have done, I was out cold."

"He put us in bubbles and did a mean icky bloody thingy, you got pissed, floated, and everything around you changed. Silver Strike evaporated, our bubbles popped, and Beast boy was too close, if you know what I mean."

"Is he okay?" asked Raven.

"He is at the park now," replied Starfire, "But he won't be able to change for a while."

"Maybe I should go with you, to make sure he's alright."

"I believe that that would be a glorious idea," chimed Starfire.

"So," Raven said while passing over the bay, "How are your wounds?"

"The people of Tameran heal fast, I will be in high shape soon." Starfire finally made herself ask the question that haunted her for days. "Raven, are you okay?"

"I didn't get hurt too bad."

"No, I mean inside."

"Huh?"

"I heard you crying." At this Raven stopped short.

"You went in my room?!"

"I only wished to understand what was amiss." Raven began again.

"Starfire, I am never able to see anyone like me, I feel so alone, it may surprise you, but I also want someone to feel complete with."

"I understand," noted Starfire.

"Starfire?"

"Yes Raven."

"If you ever repeat what I just said I'll..."

"I won't," interrupted Starfire.

"Thanks."

Starfire and Raven arrived at the park about twenty feet from the rest of the team. "Hey Star, hello Raven." Robin's tone was unusual.

"I'm sorry for... umm..." Raven was stumbling for words.

"It wasn't your fault" reassured Cyborg. Beast boy arrived in crutches.

"You were only trying to help us."

"I'm going for a walk," said Raven trying to hide her sorrow.

"I'll go with you," commented Starfire.

"No, I want to be alone, please." With that Raven pulled up her hood and started around the lake. She kept her head down and her eyes on the ground to avoid attention.

"I wish I was normal." Raven uttered to her self. "I wish people could understand me. I wish, I just don't know anymore." Raven continued to walk until not even the team could see her.
