Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans (obviously) for if I did, there would be a lot more Raven and Beast Boy moments.
Author's Note: Ack! I just read over chapter 5 and saw how many typos I had! AHHHH! Bad grammar! NO! Anyway I must apologize, not only for my bad grammar, but after this chapter I'll be going on vacation for a loooooong time. I'll try to fit in chapter seven before I leave, if I have time. Anyway please R&R, and if you do please tell me how you think the story is doing! Oh, and how I wish more people had reviewed, hint hint wink wink
Panic struck into Beast Boys heart as he felt her pulse one last time. Nothing. He ran screaming into the hospital for help, running up to doctors and nurses, nobody seemed to be listening. They were all already busy, but Beast Boy thought that didn't give them any excuse. Raven was dying, and almost everyday she saves these peoples lives. Now it was their turn.
He ran up to the front desk, cutting an entire line of sick and broken looking and people.
"Nurse! Nurse, this girl has a rib through her stomach and has no-" Beast Boy was cut off by the man he had just cut in front of.
"I don't care what's wrong with her, I was here first. Now, I have an ache in my stomach and-" It was Beast Boy who interrupted this time.
"THIS GIRL SAVES LIVES ALOMOST EVERYDAY! NOW SHE'S DYING! AND YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT SHE CAN'T GET MEDICAL ATTENTION RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU HAVE A STOMACH ACHE? SHE'S PROBABLY SAVED YOUR ASS BILLIONS OF TIMES AND I BET YOU NEVER GIVE IT A SECOND THOUGHT!" holding onto Raven with one hand he slammed his fist down on the counter, the man seemed to have shrunk back a little looking very alarmed, "SO MOVE YOUR SORRY ASS OUT OF MY WAY!
Beast Boy shoved him aside and began yelling all of Raven's injuries to the clerk. She called the ER and requested immediate attention. She told Beast Boy that a bed would be there soon, but he barely heard her. All he could do was stare at her, wishing she'd wake up so he could stare at the soulful pools she called her eyes.
The other titans arrived shortly after the little seen was over, They walked over to Beast Boy sitting in the chair still holding her. He seemed very annoyed and when they reached him they heard him mumble something about the "hospital people not being fast enough" and "where the hell is the bed?"
Starfire reached out and touched her friend's shoulder. He pulled away. She said, "Friend Beast Boy, we are here now."
He didn't say anything. A bed came around the corner. The women pulling it looked around and spotted Beast Boy holding Raven and hurried over.
"Is this the girl the clerk made such a fuss over?"
Beast Boy nodded.
"Sir, you'll have to let go of her" He didn't move. The team waited for him to place Raven on the bed, but they had to force him to let go. Robin and Starfire had to hold him back as Cyborg placed her on the bed.
Though he struggled vigorously his face showed no emotion, except for the pain you could see in his eyes. As they wheeled her away, Beast Boy's struggle ended. Cyborg and Robin let go of him. He sank back into the chair, but not for long. He soon stood up and bolted in the direction they had wheeled her in. Starfire flew in front of him and grabbed him by the arms. "Please Beast Boy, do not struggle, I am only-"
'You'd want to be with her too if it were your fault she was that way!"
The team sat in silence, Beast Boy then realized that he hadn't told them what happened to him and Raven. He began explaining the concrete room, the bracelets, breaking through the wall, the fight, passing out, and waking up and finding Raven injured.
"Beast Boy, when you passed out, it wasn't your fault, you couldn't have prevented that. How could you have protected her if you had been knocked out?" Robin said matter-of-factly.
"Didn't you notice that I was fine and she was like…that? She healed me, over herself!"
"B, you couldn't have helped her even if you were awake, Slade can't be taken on alone and you were already injured! Stop blaming yourself!" Cyborg yelled
"It is my fault! I could have helped her!"
"Beast Boy, please do not blame yourself! You are a being a glorbsnault!" Starfire yelled
"How would you feel if the person you loved could be dying? Robin, what if it was Starfire! Star picture if it were Robin! Cyborg, what if it was Bee?"
There was a long pause again. After that, Beast Boy sat down his head in his hands. The rest of the team also sat down. Beast Boy didn't sit for long, he stood up and began pacing and kept glancing at the hallways hoping that they nurse would come back and say Raven was okay, but no such thing happened. He noticed he was still wearing the bracelet. Cyborg came over and snapped the thing in two. It fell to the floor and Beast Boy kicked it.
Hours went by until a nurse finally came out and said, "She's fine, very tired, but fine."
Relief flooded over him as the news about Raven sunk in. "Can we see her?"he asked in anxious voice.
'Yes, but one at a time, she's in room 223" As soon as she spoke those words Beast Boy ran past her. As he ran down the hall he looked at the room numbers, "220… 221… 222… 223!" He looked in through the door, the room wasn't a cheery place. The walls were bare and white, the floor white, tiled, and spotless. There were machines with wires sticking out of everywhere on them, and the wires were attached to a very tired and weak Raven. She was still asleep and floating. Her skin didn't look burnt anymore and the rib was not sticking out of her stomach anymore.
He looked at the room again. Raven wasn't going to like this drab bright room. So an idea popped into his head.
Raven opened her eyes, she was aching all over and her skin stung a little. She knew that she had been badly injured in battle. She stretched her arms and took a look around the room.
At first she thought she was in her room but then realized that this was a hospital, her sheets were the same violet color she had on her bed, the blue-violet curtains she had were on the window, her favorite books were stacked on the bedside table near her, next to the books in a coffee mug was Herbal tea she grabbed it and sipped happily, and in a chair next her, was Beast Boy holding a bouquet of flowers. He was asleep. She smiled, knowing it was his idea to bring her things to the hospital.
"He did all this for me, he always does things like this for me… he's so sweet like that. Wait, did I just say he was sweet? Stop thinking things like that! He's kinda cute too"! Raven noticed that her emotions were having a conversation in her mind and were messing her all up!
"Hey Affection! Shut up!"
"Make me Anger!'
Raven decided to butt in, "Hey guys I'm awake, now go about your business in nevermore." Some emotions sighed and went back to their places in Ravens mind, some just nodded in agreement and went to their places, Affection tried to put up a fight and eventually gave in. But before she left Raven alone Affection said, "I know you like him!" She then went back to her place in Ravens mind.
(I know that part was confusing, but try and work with me here!)
As she looked at Beast Boy and thought, maybe I do, no I don't that's Affection talking. Though I do admit he's being sweet.
She tapped Beast Boy on the shoulder, he twitched. "Beast Boy…"
He sat up with a start, "NO MORE TENNIS BALLS! NO MORE!"
She stared at him with an amused smile.
"Oh, Hi Raven! Dude, you're awake! Umm… these are for you, to apologize for going in your room to get your stuff," He held out the flowers and she took them and laid them in her lap, he scratched his head and smiled, "I know what you're thinking! Beast Boy, why did you go in my room? Well I just thought-
She interrupted, "It's fine, I'm actually quite…how should I say this…happy, that you did, it make me feel at home," Wow my emotions are really messed up, I should meditate soon, "But don't ever go in there again!"
"Now that's the Raven I know" he said with a laugh
"Let's go home"
They checked out around 2:30, Raven made Beast Boy carry her things. They called Cyborg and told him to come pick them up. He happily agreed.
When the T-car arrived they put Raven's things in the trunk. They both got in the back of the car. "Hey Rae, hey BB, how ya'll been?" Cyborg asked.
"Fine," Raven stated.
"Me too, how about you Cyborg?"
"Oh, I'm-" He stopped short as he looked in the mirror, Raven and Beast Boy were actually sitting next to each other, and seemed to be enjoying it, and Ravens cloak was a few shades lighter… "Hey Rae, You look …different"
Raven looked at herself, he was right, she too noticed that her cloak was lighter, had she been expressing herself more? She blushed.
Beast Boy looked over too, but that wasn't what he noticed. Raven still had her bracelet on, he immediately pointed it out to her. She looked at it with hatred in her eyes. A black aura surrounded the bracelet and it broke in two. They pieces fell on the floor. She stared at them. There was a red light on the bracelet that was still glowing, even though it was broken. The red light began flashing and the bracelet began to beep.
"What is it doing?" Beast Boy asked.
"I'm not sure..." she bent down and picked it up both pieces, the bracelet was still beeping.
"Just throw it out the window" said Beast Boy.
"Yeah the thing is annoying" Cyborg said.
As she rolled down the window the pieces began to vibrate, she paused and looked at it. The bracelet pieces were beginning to shake forcefully; suddenly their pull became so strong they were moving her hand. She let go, but the pieces didn't fall to the floor, in fact they were floating.
They flew straight toward her wrist, and when it reached her wrist they pulled together so it fit perfectly back together. Raven, still in shock, came back to her senses. She tried to pull the bracelet apart but where she had broken it, looked as if it had been fused again, and it was tighter on her wrist. Beast Boy was staring now too and Cyborg had stopped the car also staring in disbelief. She tried to take it apart again using her powers but she couldn't! A jolt ran through her!
"Help… me…" she forced the words out through her pain.
Beast Boy pulled on the bracelet, ignoring the shocks that transferred to his own body. He changed into a myriad of animals, trying to find one that could fit in the car, but was strong enough to break the terrible hold the bracelet had. He finally settled on a gorilla, and with a roar, he snapped it in two. He took one piece in his hand, and crushed it into a fine powder. With a snort, he released the particles out the window. He pulled Raven into his arms. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah," she said shakily, and hastily extracted herself from his embrace.
He held up the piece of the bracelet that he hadn't destroyed, and said, "Maybe we can learn something from this. Like, if it's made of a rare material, we can figure out where it came from. The more we defeat Slade, the more likely it is that he'll retreat back to his roots."
"Wow, Beast Boy," Raven said, some of her old spark (pun intended) returning. "That was a pretty smart idea. Did you hurt yourself coming up with it?"
"Well my brain kinda itches…HEY!" He smiled as she laughed. He loved it when she laughed.
