Chapter 13: Recovery.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phoenix awoke once again with tears in her eyes and with one swift gesture she brushed them away. The memories all came on so strong and she couldn't help but feel completely worthless. Phoenix heard the door creak open and within a minute Phoenix was once again in hiding.
" Phoenix?" Raven asked while coming into the room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that evening…..
Everyone was sitting at the counter debating over who would watch Phoenix and they all new Phoenix would not come with them. The Titans needed a brake after what happened to poor Nick and nobody really wanted to stay near the place that Nick died.
" I'll watch her." Raven said surprising everyone even herself.
" Raven are you feeling alright.?" Beast Boy said checking her temperature.
"I am fine." said Raven shrugging him off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 hours later….
" Goodbye friend Raven we will be back in a few earth hours." said Starfire.
Awkward Silence….
"………"
"………."
"…………"
"umm right." said Robin.
The other Titans had already exited the room and Beast Boy stood their staring at Raven in awe.
" What?" Raven snapped.
"Nothing." said Beast Boy stiffly.
Beast Boy then slowly leaned forward and kissed Raven softly on the cheek.
" See you." Beast Boy said as he rushed out of the room as fast as he could to prevent Raven from killing him.
Raven was so flustered that she stood their with her hand on the cheek for about 30 minutes.
" Bye, Beast Boy." she said while waving goodbye not realizing how long shehad beenstanding their.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 hours later…….
Raven heard a sharp crash as the rain and lightning struck outside.
" ahhhhh." Phoenix yelled.
Raven ran as fast as she could towards the direction of the screaming voice and after searching Beast Boy's room and the training room she found Phoenix. Phoenix was lying in the corner of Raven's room unshielded and crying.
" Phoenix, what happened?" Raven asked.
" I hate thunder." Phoenix said to scared to care about the no speaking routine.
Raven walked forward a few steps and sat down next to the trembling young child.
" Why do you fear thunder?"
" I don't know if I want to tell you." Phoenix said.
Phoenix gave off a sad sigh and then with a hard look on her face she explained the story to Raven.
"I fear thunder because the weather was like this on the worst day of my life. It was the day my step dad came into out lives and from the first day he hated me. He ordered me to do the laundry but I didn't know how and……. He then said " let me teach you how to Iron". He then took the iron and let it run up and down my arm and I can still see the scars of the blisters. My mother just stood their and let it happen and then I cried for help but all she did was look at me. I wasn't sure at what I did wrong but I guess I am a bad girl.
Do you know what I did wrong?" said Phoenix.
" You did nothing wrong." said Raven
"Then why did my mother let me suffer all this time?" said Phoenix.
" If she let it happen then she isn't really counted as your mother." said Raven.
" I wish you could have been my mother things would have been so different." Said Raven.
" Maybe I still can be." said Raven .
Why did I say that? I know I can't be her mother. Thought Raven.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile……………………………
Beast Boy sat with the other Titans while they ordered pizza and the usual fight was taking place…..
"Meat."
" Vegetable."
" Meat"
" vegetable"
" Friends do not quarrel." said Starfire.
In the end they decided to do what they usually did and that was to order more than one pizza. Beast Boy couldn't seem to have a appetite since Raven was stuck at the house and he was here.He set down his half eatin pizza slice down on his plate and sighed sadly.
"Friend Beast Boy why have you not consumed a slice of the pizza?" said Starfire.
" He is probably missing his girl friend." said Cyborg.
" Raven is not my girlfriend." said Beast Boy
" How did you know I was talking about Raven then huh ? "Cyborg said.
"…"
"………"
"…………….."
All was silent except for the soft swoosh of Cyborg's ego inflating to the size of a hot air balloon.
