Beastboy's eyes opened into the darkness of the room. He slid off the bed he had been laying on. His legs buckled beneath him. He used the railing connected to the bed to get back to his feet and managed little by little to regain his balance. It was at this time that he noticed the myriad of wires that trailed from his body and into the machines. He roughly pulled the wires from his body. They dangled from the machines like decaying tentacles. Though the machines were silent, alerts were issued down at the nurse's station. He slid open the window and jumped into the wind. Soon he was flying back to the tower.
Several nurses rushed to the room.
They had expected to find his body lifeless.
They hadn't expected him to be gone.
Titan Tower
He walked slowly up the path to his home. He placed his hand against the genetic scanner. For some reason it refused to open the door. Letting his anger overwhelm him he slammed a gorilla sized fist into the panel.
The door creaked open.
Red lights flashed and sirens blared at his forced entry. He was soon being aimed at by over a hundred self-activating laser cannons.
It was here that his body collapsed as six people rushed into the room.
Tower Infirmary
His eyes fluttered open for the second time that night. "Ooohh my head. Ow."
"It's hard to believe that you're awake."
Beastboy recognized Cyborg's voice. "Cy, what happened?"
The bearer of the voice remained just out of sight. "You were hurt. Bad. It was a miracle you survived at all. The doctors didn't think you would ever wake up. We'd lost hope."
"What do you mean lost hope. How long could I have been asleep?"
Beastboy laughed for a couple of seconds until he realized that an eerie silence had worked it's way into the room. A figure strode out of the shadows in the corner. The black costume was engraved with a blue bird on his chest.
"Dude, who are you?" Beastboy looked him over. It took a couple of seconds but he placed the face hidden behind the mask. "Robin?"
"Not for a long time. My name is Nightwing now. Beastboy, you've been in a coma for the last decade."
