Chapter 5 (The Doctor is In.)
Pickles12: Raven just can see through masks, as of this second ( ;) ) It's a 'hidden' talent, of hers…
When Star woke up she was still in Robin's arms. There was no way to explain how she felt when she was in his arms: Safe, loved, steady, sure of herself, and just happy. She couldn't really tell where she was, her eyes blurred everything but she could tell that she and Robin weren't alone in this strange room. It was full of people, noisy people, coughing, sneezing, and stuffy nosed people. "Why are we in this place?" Star wondered waiting for her eyes to return to normal. She didn't question any more, she closed her eyes smiled wistfully, safe from all harm in Robin's arms… In her favorite place.
The secretary gasped as Robin approached the sign-in counter, "Is that Starfire? What happened?" Everybody on the team stared at each other blankly, until Raven finally answered, "We don't know what's wrong, that's why we're here." The lady behind the counter blushed, "Oh, right…" Then before leaving quickly she looked at Starfire, and then at Robin and giggled. Robin raised his eyebrows; it was odd how everyone always jumped to conclusions on that one… Of course the conclusions were correct…
After a while a nurse called out Star's name Robin and the gang filed up to the door, "Umm, you can't all be Starfire, um, only two to a room…" Beastboy mumbled something about not liking doctor's offices and then he took a discreet (not) step back. Raven floated back a step as well. Cyborg whistled and before he stepped next to Beastboy, he pushed Robin toward the open door, "Have fun!" As Robin stepped through the door he could hear Cyborg snicker. Robin rolled his eyes, "Big half mechanical baby…"
The nurse led them through an endless maze of hallways and rooms. Finally they arrived at their room, "Umm, the doctor will be with you in a, umm…." "Moment?" asked Robin. The nurse giggled girlishly, "Yeah that's it, it's umm, my first day…" Robin wearily grinned. Robin set Starfire on the crinkily paper, "Well, here is something I haven't seen for a while…" Super powered people rarely got sick, and if they did it was usually only for a short time, but every now and then… Well, even super humans, are humans… They aren't perfect, they have flaws, they could fail, and most importantly, like normal people, they had feelings. Star blinked a few times her eyes adjusting to the bright room, "Robin?" "Yeah, Star?" "I lo-wish to know what happened?" "We don't know Star, that's why we're here, you fell out of the sky." Star nodded, "My powers vanished…for a second, they're back." Meanwhile, outside in the lobby, in Raven's head, 'Aren't Star's powers controlled by her emotions?' HINT HINT, is love an emotion?
The doctor (after a moment had passed) finally found his way through the correct door. Robin and Star looked up. A look of surprise crossed the doctor's face, "Starfire? I must be in the wrong room…." "Wait, this is the right room", Robin assured him. The doctor nodded as he sat down in his nice bouncy comfortable chair, while Robin sat on a cold hard wood chair. "Very well then, I'm Dr. Koffman, Dr. A Choo Koffman to be exact", said Dr. A Choo Koffman ( Like the name? I came up with it myself! ). "I'm Robin and this is-" The doctor grinned wearily, "Yes, I know who you are, I own a TV set, I watch the news." Robin grinned it was always nice to be recognized, he wiped the grin from his face as he remembered why they were there.
"So what exactly happened? She looks fine to me", asked Dr. A Choo Koffman. Before Star could even open her mouth Robin started spilling out the story as the doctor nodded, studying every movement. Dr. Koffman's eyes continued to drift from Robin to Star and back, all the time he had this weird smile on his face as if he knew something that they didn't, "I see… Well I'll run some tests, but I'm not sure, if we'll come up with anything… You may have to come back later…" It didn't make much sense but Robin agreed. But before the doctor pulled Star away for some tests Robin tucked some of the loose hair behind her ear and whispered, "It'll be ok Star."
(Ok that was short, sorry, I have a 3 hour practice like each night, so please review or I'll give up and go deep into homework mode. I give up kinda fast so…. Yeah, please review. Thank you for taking the time to read this. )
