Thanks to everyone that reviewed (or read and didn't review, I know there were some of you out there) and now that internet has gone totally wacky I've decided to write Chapter 12 while it's not working so when it comes up again I'll be able to post . See, I do still care.
Oh and CrazyDeafGirl: I have read your story (Remember the Titans, I think it was) but my computer has been a major pain and refuses to let me leave a review! This computer is getting really frustrating, especially now that summer has come and temperatures are high, meaning a lot of sudden overheating warnings and shutdowns...
Here is the lovely Chapter 12 you've all been waiting for!
Chapter 12: Awkward Feelings
"Robin? Where are you man?" Cyborg yelled, becoming frustrated at the lack of his leader's appearance. Beast Boy wasn't in a good condition, a nosebleed had started and his cheeks were welling up. That, and he was still unconscious. Concern and grief for his little green friend attacked Cyborg like never before. He had only been this sad when...
"Hola!" a fluent Spanish speaker interrupted his thoughts. Cyborg took a glance downwards to reveal Mas, his outfit roughed up a bit but otherwise fine. Cyborg didn't even make the effort to reply to the miniature crime fighter, just walked right past him and continued onwards, heading towards the T-Car. Mas caught up with him and stood in his way, shouting out stuff in Spanish that Cyborg did not have the time to translate.
"Get out of the way, Mas!" Cyborg yelled, so loud that Mas stopped right in his tracks and stared at Cyborg speechlessly.
"Seńor Robin..." the redhead murmured, just as the cybernetic teen passed him. This time Cyborg stopped.
"Where? Tell me where!"
"..."
"Darn it! Mas, Beast Boy's in trouble and your delaying any assistance to save him!"
"Assist.. assistance?"
"Yes, need I spell it out for you?"
"..."
And was all Cyborg could get out of Mas before Mas hightailed it and ran off. Cyborg grumbled, his temper was growing increasingly harder to control. He felt really bad about his outburst, but right now, he had no time to lose. He set the unconscious Beast Boy in the back row of seats, scanned his condition, and cursed vividly out loud. Beast Boy was having a serious concussion, and it would dive into a coma if he didn't hurry. Slamming his foot onto the accelerator, Cyborg sped off towards Titan's Tower...

Squawk! Caw! Squawk Caw! Squawk! Caw! Squawk Caw!
The ravens' chattering doubled Raven's headache pains. Raven was getting very mad, and the three birds before her could see it. Karik wondered why the female could remain so calm when the terrible prophecy was spoken, but be so mad when his comrades spoke so little. It made absolutely no sense to him at all.
"Silence!" Their leader commanded, and instantly everything went quiet.
"But wha.. what is that dreadful sound? It's loud enough to make the windows shatter." Lorak's words were acknowledged, and many strained to hear what Lorak had heard. Soon, everyone, including Raven, finally grasped the sound.
"Hide yourselves!" Raven told them, waving her hands to shoo them away. Many scattered back into the ventilation shafts, hidden from view. However, Merlov and Karik stayed behind.
"What is it?" Merlov asked curiously.
"It's a flying car." Raven answered, looking at the window. The two birds widened their eyes in surprise and turned to look at each other. A flying car! The ravens bowed low to the lavender haired Azarathian, then flew off to join their comrades. Raven herself laid low, literally. She plopped back down on the bed she was earlier stuck on and pulled an actor's maneuver: sleepily tired looking eyes, straining to focus, and head in obvious pain. At least she didn't have to act that out, it really was.
The window seemed to flip open and Cyborg lightly stepped onto it, before grabbing his passenger out of the back seat. Built by a brilliant construction team, the tower could withstand many frontal assaults. The windows were no exception, and could easily hold Cyborg's weight.
Raven could hear Cyborg muttering to himself, rushing over to the bed parallel to her own. That's Beast Boy's bed… Raven thought, and held her pose longer.
"T-Car!" Raven heard him say, "Park yourself up!" The metallic blue car grunted in reply and slowly floated down to the garage entrance. When did Cyborg install that? Raven asked herself, but could find no answer. I really need to get to know my friends more... Cyborg hooked up a few things on Beast Boy's figure and watched BB's heart pulse. He knew that the damage to his head could stop functioning the brain, and even those few seconds the brain stalled could be lethal. "I wish Raven were here..." the hybrid murmured, and Raven's skin tingled in surprise. He really was missing her? Managing to keep her pose, Raven's mind raced. Just then Cyborg stole a glance over to her, and gasped in shock. Violet, unfocused eyes were staring back at him. Ensuring that Beast Boy was alright, he rushed over to her bed.
"RAVEN! You're awake!" His happiness for her really made Raven wonder. She had thought that nobody had ever cared for her...
"Cy... Cyborg?" She purposely stuttered, acting out her part.
"Yeah, Rae. I'm here." He said comfortingly. Cyborg went to hold her hand when he brushed against her cloak and found a hole in it. "Raven... Why are there so many holes on your cloak?" Raven slowly sat up and examined her attire. She gave out the most confused look she could muster and turned to Cyborg.
"I... don't know." Raven replied, sad inside for her dishonesty towards him. Cyborg lifted the blue fabric off the bed gently and looked at the missing pieces stuck on the bed.
"Think you had a bad night, Rae. Must have tossed and turned a lot." Cyborg drew out his conclusion, and Raven felt relief within her aura. Cyborg was just going to let the issue drop. Raven watched as Cyborg lifted himself up and strolled over to the next bed over. Raven focused her senses to find out who it was, and instantly wished she hadn't.
There, of course, was Beast Boy, in a terrible state. His heart pulse was beating very slowly, so his brain was still functioning... for now. Raven jumped up suddenly and was about to rush over when her legs buckled and she fell over.
"Stupid son of a..." Raven cursed out loud, making Cyborg's mouth drop. Raven never cursed. At least, not that badly. And vividly. Raven stopped and the silent room was filled with slow, resounding beeps. It was eerie to the titanic titan and so he dismissed the silence with his own voice.
"Uhh... Need help, Raven?" Cyborg politely asked, offering his hand down to her. She grabbed onto it and he hauled her back up. Using Cyborg as support, she hobbled over to the bed. Just seeing the green titan there made Raven very depressed. Though she convinced herself again and again that no one here loved her, she knew it wasn't true. The torturous mind just filled up with agonizing memories and everyday annoyances to keep her thoughts of love at bay. But now, her mind cleared, and Beast Boy's love shined at her. She felt sick, seeing him like this.
"I could of prevented this..." Raven muttered, tightening her grip on the steel pole that was attached to the bed.
"No, you couldn't have. You were and still are in no condition to do anything." Cyborg attempted to sooth her, but Raven flourished in both anger and resentment.
"Do not tell me what I can and cannot do!" Raven raged, letting go of Cyborg. Cyborg stepped backwards and noticed Raven's eyes flash a dark red before reverting back to normal. She breathed in deeply, her lungs on fire from the yelling just a second before. "Cyborg... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you."
"I know, Raven. I know." Cyborg patted her on the shoulder lightly. Raven repeated the words that Cyborg had said earlier in her mind, and suddenly everything clicked. She had a good idea, and it would be extremely dangerous, not to mention painful, but it was worth it.
"Cyborg."
"Yes Rae?"
"I'm going to need a lot of painkillers."
