well, now on with the story!

"Raven!" Beast Boy screamed as she fell backward out the window and toward the island. Completely forgeting about Robin, who lay in a crumpled heap where Raven had dropped him, he leapt out the hole in the window and morphed into a huge green eagle. Raven was only feet from the ground when his green talons snared in her cloak. It was a good plan, but there was a problem. Holding her benaeth him, he couldn't fit through the hole in the window. He couldn't set her down because he was terrified he would either drop her or land on her. He couldn't morph into something else because the sleek purple fabric was already starting to slip from his grasp and he didn't want her to fall. Then he had an idea.

He slowly rose high above the tower and threw Raven lightly into the air. She squealed quietly, she couldn't levitate and was now terrified of falling. BB circled around so that she landed on his back.

"Thank you," she whispered, her voice so hoarse she hardly sounded like herself. He felt her slump down as she passed out. He was careful not to beat his wings any more than necessary(im not very good at spelling, is that right?) so she didn't fall. At the tower, BB flew quickly toward the gaping window, and morphed into a human. He lumped through the hole, holding Raven to his back so she didn't fall. He set her on the couch and walked over to where Starfire and Cyborg were kneeling near Robin.

"Is he alright?" BB asked when he saw that Robin had not moved.

"We don't know, he hasn't moved or spoken or anything since she dropped him," Cyborg said, looking up. Starfire looked up too, tears streaming down her face.

"We do not know what we can do to help him! Where is Raven? She will know what to do! She can fix him!" She was almost frantic and when BB gestured toward the couch, she threw her arms around his neck and sobbed hysterically.

"Even if Raven was awake, she wouldn't be able to help. She's used her power somuch today. I mean, she was weak when she woke up and now she can't even stand! I mean, come on, we've got to stop relying on her before we kill her!" He was almost angry, but didn't yell. He instead stroked her hair soothingly.

Raven had retreated into the dark crevices of her mind. The world was too difficult to face right now. She say huddled in a corner. "His brother, his own brother," she whispered to the emptiness of her own mind. The sound echoed in the darkness back to her. This didn't seem like the kind of thing that Robin would over-look. Then she remembered what she had thought when she saw his face, when she looked up and saw Robin's face looking back at her. "Deny it, don't believe it and it will change." He hadn't let himself believe it. Slowly, Raven emerged from her mind and returned to the tower.

Her vision was blurry, but through squinted eyelids, she could seeCyborg and BB carrying Robin over to the couch while Starfire watched nervously. She didn't feel like thrying to explain this right now, so she kept her eyes closed so it looked like she still wasn't awake.

"Come on, let's get something to eat until one of them wakes up. I'll make waffles," Cyborg said, pulling Starfire to the kitchen before she could object. When they were gone, Raven raised her haed to peer at Robin. He stirred slightly and she realized she wasn't the only one pretending.

ha ha, cliffhanger again! well, kind of. ill try to update sooner this time.

"evil beware, we have waffles." -Raven I LOVE THAT LINE! hate that episode, but adore that line! the truth, the sarcasm, the Raven-ness is that a word?
