"How is he?" Beast Boy asked.
"Well, he's been unconscious for around three hours," Cyborg said
"...Buuuut... he's ok, right?" Beast Boy said.
"Yea, he's just been out cold for a long time now," Cyborg said.
"…I'm gonna go check on Raven now," BB said.
"She's in her room, be careful," Cy warned Beast Boy.
"Uuumm… Raven? Are you in there?" BB whispered quietly. He was outside Raven's room. He wanted to knock on the door, he wanted to see her again, but he was too afraid.
"Raven?" he repeated louder. He could hear heavy breathing inside.
"Raven, are you okay?" he said banging on her door. He decided to just open her door forcefully. BB saw her meditating with a book in front of her. Rather than "Azarath Metrion Zinthos," she was chanting, "Necronom Hesperith Mortix…" Where have I heard those words before? BB thought. Anyways, it turned out that she was ok. She was just too into it. (A/N: Meditating.) He looked at the two books in front of her. One was, The Book of Nord and the other was, The Rominomicon.
The Rominomicon was opened to a page that read:
Hesberek Admoriney Gostwenthin Verbusnex. Indobrium Bispendruay Haransicortis Rex
And The Book of Nord was opened to a page that read:
Aldruon en Lenthranell Losolaneeris Nor
That's a nice book… Beast Boy thought. He grabbed Raven by her shoulder and shoved her lightly, waking her up from her trance.
"Are you okay, Raven?" BB said looking into her two big pools of lavender that Raven liked to call 'eyes'.
"I'm fine, Beast Boy," Raven said softly.
"What went wrong?" Beast Boy asked.
"Nothing," Raven lied.
"I know it sure as hell wasn't nothing, Raven. And if you don't tell me, I'm gonna stay here until you do," Beast Boy said.
"If you don't leave my room, you will never live to be 18," Raven said with a deadly glare. (A/N: If looks could really kill, Beast Boy wouldn't be around to make any of his corny jokes anymore.)
"Ok, ok!" BB said and went back to the Infirmary.
"How is she?" Cyborg said once BB got back.
"She's… fine," BB said, "What about Robin?"
"Human Traffic Light's getting better each and every second. He should be back in about a hour or so. Yep, that's Robin for ya, he's a fighter," Cyborg said.
"Yea… I guess…" BB said. He looked at the floor, and then back up, and repeated that over 3 times.
"What's wrong with you man?" Cy asked.
"Nah, it's nothing," BB said.
"C'mon, BB! I know you too well for you to just say there's "nothing" wrong with you," Cyborg said.
"-sigh-It's Raven," BB said.
"What about her?" Cy said.
"She's… Well… My gut tells me that she hates me," BB said.
"Why?" asked a confused Cyborg.
"When I went up to her room, she wouldn't tell me what was wrong, and she threatened me," BB said sadly.
"She always threatens you, B," Cyborg said not catching the part where BB said, "she wouldn't tell me what was wrong,".
"Yea, I know, but this time it's different. It's like she really did mean it, like something was really wrong with her. Like as if she really hates me," BB said.
"Naw, she don't hate you," Cyborg said, "She just ain't like you."
"Well, thank you for the encouragement," Beast Boy said sarcastically.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Sarcasm is Raven's job! Remember?" Cy said.
"I guess," Beast Boy said.
"Now what are we gonna do? Wait on Robin?" said Beast Boy. Cyborg shrugged.
"I don't know yet," Cyborg said, "Why don't you try to get along with Raven?"
"Didn't you hear me about five minutes ago?" BB asked Cyborg.
"So? You could just try to do what she does to impress her or something for her to stop "hating" you," Cyborg said.
"You're right Cy! I want her to treat me right, so I'm treating her right first!" BB said.
"Not exactly what I had in mind… but, ok!" Cyborg said, "But I think that you should wait until she comes out of her room this time."
"You're right, Cy," BB said.
"As always," Cyborg said.
"Raven, come out," BB said as he knocked on Raven's door.
"I don't want to," was the quick reply she said.
"Don't you want to get a… cup of tea with me?" BB offered. There was silence. Raven opened her door so only her head would pop out.
"A… cup of tea?" Raven asked surprised.
"No, no, no. A cup of HEBAL tea? Wanna come with?" BB said as he stretched out his hand.
"Ummm… sure, BB. That'd be nice," Raven said not taking his hand and walking down the hallway towards the kitchen. Once there, she got two herbal tea bags and put them in warm water. She handed BB his cup and sat down with hers as Beast Boy did so, too. He took a sip and tried so hard not to say it was bad and swallow it already.
"I can tell already that you don't like it," Raven said.
"What makes you say that?" BB said with a sour face after completely choking on his tea.
"Ummm… maybe… the fact that you were choking on it?" Raven asked.
"I was NOT choking!" Beast Boy lied.
"Sure you weren't," Raven said as she rolled her eyes at him. Beast Boy took another sip of his tea. He started coughing.
"Some people never learn…" Raven told herself.
"What was that supposed to mean?" BB said.
"Oh, nothing," said Raven as she took the last sip of her tea.
"Yea! That's what I thought!" Beast Boy said trying to be tough. Raven walked over to the dishwasher and put her cup in there, then she left the room.
"Bye…. Raven," BB said ten minutes after he figured out that Raven had left the room. She left! Time to get rid of this! BB thought as he poured the rest of his tea on a nearby plant.
"I thought you liked the tea," Raven said as she appeared on the doorway.
"I DO like tea! But… My… Ummm… I like it so much, I think that I should share it with the whole world! See? Look at that plant! It looks full of life," Beast Boy said. The plant was lifeless. Gee, I wonder WHAT slayed it? BB thought.
"Anyways, I came back to tell you that Robin's conscious, but still asleep," Raven said.
"Really?" BB said, "It's been an hour already?"
"Yea, a whole hour out of my life wasted watching you choke on tea," Raven said. BB stood up and walked and talked with Raven all the way to the Infirmary.
"So? You gotta admit it was fun watching me choke," BB said.
"I don't do fun," Raven said.
"Yea you do! Remember that day when Robin was fighting "Invisible Slade" and at the end I came to the Infirmary because I was sick and I sneezed and it turned into a frog and went "Ribbit" and then you and Star were laughing your ass off? You CAN do fun, Raven! You just have to accept it," Beast Boy said. (A/N: I'm referring to the episode "Haunted" at the very end where Beast Boy makes Raven and Starfire laugh because he sneezed then turned into a frog and said "Ribbit")
"I did not laugh… I just had to….. Ok, maybe I did laugh," Raven said blushing.
Would this be the right time to say, "I told you so!"? BB thought.
"I told you so!" BB said.
"Well, we're here," Raven said as she leaned on the doorway leading to the Infirmary.
"I sure hope Robin's ok," Beast Boy said.
"Me too. And if he is alright, we can call Star in her communicator," Raven added.
"What are you talking about Raven? Robin is going to be alright. He doesn't give up just like that. Remember when Star turned into that hideous fiend thingy? Remember how much we laughed at her and she ran away? And Robin went through all those planets and other monsters just to find her? That proves that Robin won't give up without a fight, no matter who, or what it's for," BB said.
"Would you stop bringing up stuff in the past?" Raven pleaded. She opened the door to find Cyborg whistling the Teen Titans tune. Raven and BB both had an animated sweat drop in the back of their head.
"What?" Cyborg said when he saw BB and Raven standing in the doorway.
"Nothing! Nothing!" said Beast Boy and Raven.
"How's Robin?" Raven said after some time.
"Oh, him? He's dead to the world," Cyborg said. BB broke down crying.
"Why him? Why WHY!" He said howling.
"Ummm, Beast Boy, why are you crying?" Raven asked.
"Didn't you hear Cyborg? Robin's dead! DEAD, I tell you! DEAD!" BB said. Raven and Cyborg suddenly got it. BB had been crying because Cyborg said that Robin was "dead to the world."
"Beast Boy, the phrase "dead to the world" means that you are in a deep sleep, not dead," Raven said. BB quickly dried his tears and laughed.
"Oh," BB said, "You should've just said that he was asleep!"
"I can't believe how dim-witted people are," Raven said under her breath, "ANYways… do you think we can wake him up so we can contact Star?"
"I guess Robin wouldn't mind… I mean, he would love to wake up to the sound of Star's voice!" Cy said, then added, "…Through a communicator. Hey! It's better than not hearing it at all! Right? Am I right?"
"Probably… let's call her now and then wake up Robin," Raven said.
"I'll go call her while you guys carry Robin to the Main Room," BB said.
"Uuuuhhh… Why doesn't Raven go call her and you help me with Robin?" Cy offered.
"Why?" BB asked.
""Cuz Raven's a girl and you're a boy!" Cyborg said, "Boys always do the hard stuff!"
"Oooh!" BB said.
"I guess I'll be waiting in the living room," Raven said shrugging her shoulders. She walked down the hallway.
"Come on, BB. I carry Robin while you do his bed," Cyborg ordered.
"That's all you wanted me to stay for?" BB asked.
"Yep, that's pretty much it," Cy said. BB mumbled some cuss words as he did the bed.
"What was that?" Cy said cupping his ear.
"What was what?" BB repeated.
"The words you mumbled. Can you repeat them?" Cyborg said.
"I was just…. Ummm… saying how… thoughtful you are by making me do… Robin's bed?" BB said uneasily.
"You're lucky I let that one slip because I have Robin in my hands!" Cy said. They went to the Main Room where Raven was already talking to Starfire.
"Are you happy over there, Starfire?" Raven asked her.
"I cannot complain, for they give me shelter, food, and water," Star said.
"Do they treat you well?" Raven asked.
"Yes, they treat me with respect and kindness, although they did try to flee whenever I tried to feed them my Pudding of Sadness, and also when I recited the 3000 verses of the Song of Reconciliation," Starfire said, "I have missed you all so much! Silkie has, too!" She raised Silkie to the screen.
"We have, too, Starfire. Especially Robin," Raven said.
"I have missed him so, too!" Starfire said.
"Hey, Star! How you been lately?" Cy and BB said.
"I have been fine, friend BB & Cyborg. What is that you're carrying?" Starfire asked pointing at Robin.
"Oh, this?" Cy said lifting him up.
"It's just Robin…." BB said.
"Oh, shit! It's Robin! I forgot all about him!" Cy said laying him down on the couch.
"Why is he, as you say, having forty winks?" Starfire said at the fact that Robin was sleeping, "Did he not want to see me?"
"Of course he would like to see you! What makes you think he wouldn't?" Raven said.
"The fact that he is having a 'lie-down'?" Starfire said. He won't be sleeping for long… Raven thought as she teleported to the kitchen and got an ice cold bucket of water and teleported back to the Main Room. (A/N: Hehehe.)
"Let's wake him up, BB," Cy said ready to jump on him. Raven appeared in front of them and said, "What are you guys gonna do to Robin to wake him up?"
Cyborg and Beast Boy quickly jumped off the sofa and said, "N-Nothing! Nothing at all! Why?"
"'Cuz I got a better idea," Raven said raising the bucket to the boys' view.
"Oh… way better idea, Raven," Cyborg said. Raven leaned into Robin and tilted the bucket before Starfire said, "RAVEN! What are you doing?"
"She's waking him up, woman!" Beast Boy said motioning her to be quiet.
"Ok," Star said. Then, Raven poured the whole bucket of water on Robin.
"Ok, Raven. What do you want now?" Robin said half-awake.
"Friend Robin! I am so happy to see you," Star said. Robin woke up in a heartbeat.
"Star, I-is that you?" Robin said.

x.StArFiRe.x- I really, really, really love Rob/Rae pairings… And I don't like Star/Rob pairings… But I'm writing a Star/Rob story because I think that the experience will change my mind about them… but so far… I still feel the same towards that couple. But don't worry! I won't discontinue this story just because of the pairings! And right now, I don't have and idea of what's coming up… That's just the way it is… I write what comes into my head:D
Ravenrockstheworld- I know he wouldn't, he would most likely deal with it in a mature way… by eating a whole bucket of ice cream and repeating that he's lonely! BUT I wanted to add a twist… so yeah.
Racle- Well… obviously, I didn't know. But it doesn't matter 'cuz in my fic, ANYTHING can happen! Mwuahahahahaha! (has evil grin on her face)
ttinuhpfanforever- contemplating? I don't even know what that means! Well… thnx anyways!
mysterious charm- right now… I don't even know the whole plot…
Wanna know what those books that Raven was reading are? What about the words she was chanting instead of 'Azarath Metrion Zinthos' ? I'll tell you in the next chapter! For the meanwhile… you can guess!
