"Ow," exclaimed Raven as she rose to consciousness, her instinctual healing trance had repaired most of her body but her wounds were still sore and numerous. The empath winced as she sat up and looked about her surroundings. She was in Titans infirmary and across from her in a very uncomfortable looking chair was the Boy Wonder himself.

Robin smiled as he saw her wake up and reached for his communicator, not bothering to look at it as he contacted the others.

"She's awake guys,"

Raven looked at him curiously as he immediately snapped his communicator closed and walked over to the empaths bed and sat on the edge.

"You've been unconscious for almost three days Rae, we were getting worried,"

"I'm fine,"

"Now you are. The only way I could get the others out of the room so they could get some sleep was if I promised to tell them the moment there was any change,"

"What about you?"

"I'm used to going without sleep,"

Raven smiled slightly and reached over to the bedside table for the glass of water sitting there. The movement caused a blinding pain to awaken. She sat still as she waited for the agony to abate slightly as she felt a pair of strong arms embrace her and hold the glass to her lips. The empath sipped a little of the liquid before opening her eyes in a silent thank you to the Boy Wonder. Robin merely smiled in response as he put the glass back.

"What happened?"

Robin frowned as he considered her question. "What do you remember?"

"There was a fire in one of S.T.A.R.K. laboratories. We went to see if we could help," Raven waited for Robins nod of agreement before continuing. "The entire place was on fire with several scientist trapped inside so we went in. It was unstable, the entire place was ready to collapse so I tried to keep it together whilst you and the others rescued the lab workers. Then…" Raven closed her eyes as she tried to remember what happened next. "You shouted my name… something hit me… I fell and there was pain… and then I blacked out."

Before Robin could answer her unspoken question and tell the injured sorceress what happened two cries erupted from the doorway, their volume causing Raven to grimace and cover her ears

"RAVEN!"

With reflexes that were almost inhuman Robin halted the two superheroes before they leapt at their recovering friend.

"Guys keep it down ok? Raven's not fully recovered,"

"We're sorry," replied the abashed Starfire,

Beast Boy nodded before the two ran around their leader to surround the empath. Robin just sighed as he sat on the foot of the bed, smiling slightly as the other two sat down beside her just far enough away to respect her space yet close enough to show they cared. Robin shook his head, they were all scared when they first saw the extent of her wounds but now every thing was fine. The Boy Wonder didn't know what he would do if… he abruptly pushed such thoughts out of his head and forced himself to listen to the conversation at the top of the bed.

"How ya feeling Rae?"

"Indeed. We have missed your presence my friend,"

"I'll say. The Tower just ain't the same without you Dark Girl," added Cyborg as he walked into the Med Lab and over to his adopted little sister. "How are you?"

"I'm much better," replied Raven with a small smile as she felt her friends concern wash over her.

Cyborg fixed his gaze on her. "You sure?"

"Yes Cyborg. I'm fine. The most I can complain of is a headache and some soreness. What happened, did every one get out ok?"

Robin smiled once more. "Everyone's fine Raven, thanks to you the building stayed up long enough to get everyone out. Only minor injuries were reported, mostly burns but you were in bad shape."

Raven watched as the memory of her wounds filled her friends faces and saw the fear in their eyes. She must have been hurt more than she realised to have them worry like this.

"What happened?"

Robin spoke up once more. "You were hit by a piece of burning ceiling. It knocked you down through the already weakened floor and into the lab below. You landed on one of the desks, on top of rows of experiments. You were trapped between a lump of burning rubble and a lot of broken glass Raven, it was a close thing for a while…"

The others nodded solemnly before BB spoke up.

"Man you should have seen Robin when he saw what happened! He just leapt down there, not even looking, and just grapped you from under the fire! It was awesome!"

The sorceress turned to look at Robin once more, smiling softly as she saw her friend shift awkwardly under the changelings retelling. "Thank you,"

The hero blushed at her words and stood up. "I was just worried. You're my friend Raven, I don't want to see you hurt… I'll um… get you some herbal tea,"

The rest of the Titans stared as their fearless leader ran from the room.

"Oookay, that was weird," muttered BB.

Cyborg nodded slightly before turning his attention back to the sorceress. "Anything else you want Rae?"

Raven gently shook her head as she settled back into the bed, her body exhausted at the energy she'd spent healing.

"I'm fine Cyborg, just a bit tired," she whispered at her friends benign smile.

The teenager rounded up the rest of his team mates. "Come on y'all. Raven needs her rest. We'll see her again tomorrow,"

Starfire and Beast Boy reluctantly agreed as they said goodbye to their friend and allowed themselves to be herded out of the room. Cyborg was the last to leave as he turned off the infirmaries light.

"Sleep well Rae, feel better in the morning."

Raven nodded as she stifled a yawn. "Night Cy,"

The amethyst eyed sorceress was just dozing off into a deep sleep when she felt a comforting aura enter the room. She tried to force herself awake as she heard the sounds of a tea cup being set on the table beside her. The presence stood still for a few seconds before reaching over to the fatigued empath and moving an errant strand of hair away from her face. Raven collected herself enough to catch a glimpse of Robin walking out of the room before she reached over and quickly drank her tea. She smiled as she felt the familiar calming influence of the beverage spread through her body and she fell to sleep once more. For someone who only drank coffee the Boy Wonder made a perfect cup of tea, mused the sorceress before she was unconscious once more.
