Thank you all for the reviews! I'm so happy. Well, onto the magical Number 7! Woot!

Chapter 7: Recovery

"Raven" Beast Boy gasped, bolting forwards. His back screamed in pain as the result. He cringed and lay down back on the white bed, knowing that at least he was in the infirmary. One of the only rooms unaffected by the blast, luckily.

"Beast Boy, you okay" Robin asked, suddenly appearing at BB's side. Beast Boy's green eyes just stared at the white mask that returned the glare.

"What... What happened" Beast Boy questioned, ignoring Robin's last sentence. Robin seemed hesitant to answer. When Beast Boy saw this, his heart dropped. Something bad had happened to Raven, he knew it. Robin seemed to have read his thoughts, and gave a small laugh.

"Don't worry about Rae, Beast Boy. She's recovering on the adjacent bed, if you haven't noticed." Robin told him, giving a small smirk. Beast Boy instantly relaxed, knowing that Raven at least, was okay. Robin didn't seem to be done, and Beast Boy induced him to continue.

"Well, Beast Boy..." Robin started slowly, choosing his words carefully for Beast Boy to understand. Beast Boy lay patiently, thinking what would make Robin lag so. It finally came out a few minutes later after a chorus of crickets chirped.

"Starfire saved you and Raven. She threw a starbolt at the newcomer and grabbed you to fly you to shore. Your form was slowly reverting back to human form, so she got Raven out of your mouth" Robin made a face, not mentioning the saliva that came out with her"and was pulled back to sea. We haven't heard from Starfire since. Cy's out looking for her." Ah. Well that definitely revealed why Robin seemed redundant, worried. Beast Boy was about to try out his groggy voice again when a splutter of coughs and gasps echoed beside him. He slowly turned to where the noise was coming from, where Robin had disappeared to.

There was Raven, in not the best of conditions. Her cloak had refused to be taken off, scattered sand lay encrusted on it's interior and surface. Slashes were evident all over the place, ripped edges and red blotches skewered her entire frame. Her eyes were scrunched in deep pain, and her hand seemed fixed to her throat as she coughed and spluttered violently. Her violet eyes flashed open, and Raven shuddered. Beast Boy finally noticed that her attire was very damp, and stuck to her body. Obviously Robin wasn't going to take it off, after all... She was Beast Boy's girl, and the fact she valued privacy.

"Aqua..." Raven whispered, her thoughts straining to stay on one thought. She then found two emerald green orbs staring at her.

"Beast... Boy... Thank you." She murmured. Beast Boy gave her a smile, his pearly whites literally blinding her. She scrunched her eyes shut. Beast Boy realized what happened, and chuckled in embarrassment.

"Sorry Rae, recently got my teeth cleaned." Beast Boy laughed, then turned serious once more. "I'm also sorry I didn't get to you on time." Raven gave a soft groan, but Beast Boy couldn't decipher what it meant.

"You saved me... that's all that matters." And that was all she said before she slipped out of consciousness once more. Beast Boy settled down and lay his head comfortably on the soft pillow, always facing Raven. He just closed his eyes when the electronic doors slid open. Whatever happened, the squabble of feet seemed rushed. He strained to hear the hushed conversation.

"Found her at the docks, Robin. She looked pretty bad." a deep voice said. Cyborg, Beast Boy managed to distinguish. The hybrid gave a soft sigh, feeling that he should of done something. A soft plop sounded, signaling that the guest now lay in an identical bed to his own.

"Oh, Starfire..." Robin murmured, his voice stinging with pain. Robin silently sobbed, but Beast Boy's sensitive ears caught it.

"She's gonna be okay man, you get some rest now." Cyborg replied, and led the exhausted leader out of the sick bay.

Time seemed to drag by until finally Cyborg returned, coming to check on the three titans. Beast Boy had finally let the darkness take him, and snored softly. Cyborg cracked a smile, and went to check on the two female titans. They both seemed beaten up bad. Scars outlined Star's persona, giving her the look of an experienced warrior. Under normal human circumstances, those marks will be forever engraved in the skin. But this is Starfire we were talking about. An extraterrestrial being from an alien planet called Tamaran, three galaxies away from present day earth.

Cyborg scanned her entire frame, ensuring that her condition would improve. He gave a deep sigh of relief. Already the healing process had begun. She should be up in no time. Satisfied with Starfire's results, he went to check the last titan in the room. Unlike the other titans, she didn't move. Looking upon the sanded cloak, he realized that she couldn't. She was literally glued to the bed. But that's not what made him worried. Glued or no, Raven usually put herself in a trance to heal herself. After a quick scan, none of her energies seemed focused on her banded wounds. Besides a small amount running her heart, all was completely contracted within the mind. Anything could be happening in there. Knowing Raven, however, that couldn't be entirely a good thing. After making sure all inflicted wounds were bandaged, he gave a quick scan over Beast Boy, just in case. Unbeknownst to Beast Boy, he had a long crack that split up his back with dried up blood. That rope had been cutting in his skin for far too long, but it didn't seem to bother the green elf, who continued to snooze peacefully. Cyborg sighed silently and managed to whisper"Goodnight, ya'll" before walking out the door.

In The Main Room...

Cyborg made himself a roast beef sandwich, complete with mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. His stomach growled, urging the technical titan to hurry up. Cyborg took the first big bite and sighed in pleasure. Nothing can dampen his spirits, not with his companion roast beef beside him. A red light blared throughout the tower, and only Robin came to receive the call. The others titans communicators were switched off, and naturally the infirmary wasn't built into the alarm system.

"What's the problem" Robin asked, running across the newly placed carpet to his now only remaining healthy team mate. Only an hour ago Cyborg had fixed up the room, and it appeared as nothing had ever happened.

"Eh, just Dr. Light this time. Think we can handle him alone" Cyborg stated. Robin thought quietly. The only reason they had ever won against Light was because of Raven, and she was currently out of commotion. Robin shrugged and the pair raced towards the elevator. The bell dinged and the doors slid open to revealed a guest that was until then forgotten.

"What should I do" Johnny asked, kneeling against the small box's frames.

"You could stay and guard the other titans" Robin began, but Cyborg cut him off.

"Yo! You don't know what he'd do to them" Cyborg exclaimed. A light bulb appeared above Mr. Rancid's head.

"I could trick Dr. Light into believing I'm on his side! We have... erm.. been in touch." Johnny revealed his only true alliance with any villain. Robin nodded, signaling his agreement.

"Cyborg, I entrust you the care of the other titans. I think with this newly devised plan it wouldn't require much force." Robin said, giving back the glare that Cyborg set upon him. Cyborg gave into understanding, and quietly walked back from which he had come. Robin and Rancid (double R, yay! Uhhh..yeah.) rode the elevator down to the garage, where both Rob's and Johnny's bikes conveniently awaited them.

To Be Continued...

Author's Note: I don't know why, but I felt like this chapter sucked. I did give a hint who The Shadow actually was, I'll give a cookie to who can guess what/who the shadow is, and where both (yes, I did say both) hints were. Please Review, and adios amigos! And one other thing, one of the hints was in the last chapter. CrazyDeafGirl, you better update soon...

Sorry this chapter was short, but I'm saving up the storylines for the next few chappies. So in other words, this was just one of those link chapters. (Silence) Agh, nevermind. Stupid Science Fair...
