So here ya go.

I (yet again) don't own TT.

"Talking"

'Thoughts'

Time Change

Read of fellow fans!

Raven's mind became conscious before her body responded. She could feel the fact that she had been healed recently. People were talking around her and there was a steady beeping of a heart monitor.

"She's fully healed," a woman said, "It looks like her powers kicked in while she was sleeping."

"We should probably remove the cast," a man said, "It's probably healed like the rest of her wounds."

"We'll take it off when she wakes up," another, it sounded like Cyborg said, "Let me know when she's alert, I'm going to go check on Gar."

"I'm awake," Raven mumbled, Cy turned around. Raven was finally able to pry her eyes open. Demeter was there with her left arm in a sling.

"You look like shit sweetie," she said, smiling.

"You should she the other guy," Raven said, pushing herself up. A man put pillows behind her.

"Take it easy," he said, "You had a stage fall on you."

"That explains the hangover," Raven sighed, "I'll be up shortly, and you can take the cast off, the arms healed." Cyborg smiled and nodded to the woman, she left to get the saw. "You said something about Gar." Cyborg looked down at her.

"He got a metal splinter in his ribs when he hauled you out," Cyborg explained, Raven paled. "He's find, it missed all his vitals, which is a miracle. We've already removed it, he'll be up and running soon enough." Raven relaxed.

"When can I see him," she asked, putting her arm out so the girl could cut the cast off.

"Today, Cyborg said, "You're all healed thanks to your powers." The cast peeled off and Raven's arm was sturdy. "You know, there are time I wish I could do that."

"I know," Raven said, "And I wish I could punch a hole through a wall, but I'm not even going to try that." She was still in her black tee and jeans. "You OK Dem?"

"I'll be fine," she said, "Just some metal splinters, the sling's just a precaution. I can take my arm out of it in a week. Go find Gar." Raven left; she centered herself, tracking him with her powers. She soon found him, asleep in a near-by room. Raven quieted her steps and pulled a chair up next to the bed. He was lying shirtless, a bandage covering the area just below his ribs. Raven, the lights were still off, took a pair of scissors and cut the gauze away. She focused on her powers and her hands glowed, she ran them over his wound. Raven smiled, she could feel the skin and muscle knitting itself back together. She finished and her knees sagged a little. She was just tired from healing herself and Beastboy. She climbed up on the bed and fell asleep on his shoulder, she did not notice him open an eye or put his arm around her.

A few hours later

Raven opened her eyes again, Beastboy was sitting up, her head was leaning against his shoulder. He had probably moved her while she was still asleep. He smiled at her and touched her cheek, kissing her briefly.

"Hey sleepyhead," he said softly, "How are you?"

"Better," Raven answered, "Well, now anyways. How are you?"

"Healed," Beastboy said, "Nice work." Raven smiled, she had healed him to often to say it had not been her. Raven's healing did not even leave a scar. Beastboy kissed her again and brought her onto his lap. She curled up like a kitten and he wrapped his arms around her. He buried his face in her hair. "I was scared for you today. I thought I'd lost you."

"You couldn't get rid of me that easily," she replied, running her hand through his hair. "I've had worse things happen to me then being crushed under a building."

"It still scared me," Beastboy said, looking into her eyes, "I don't want to loose you, and I almost have, twice." Raven trailed her hand down his cheek.

"I'm right here," she said and kissed him. It began as a simple, gentle kiss and deepened. Beastboy pulled her closer and Raven wrapped her legs around him, she felt him shiver and she pulled him closer. His hands were at her lower back; Raven found that it was her turn to shiver. One of his arms wrapped around her and the other ran down her hair. Suddenly, the light flicked on, Raven moved off Beastboy so fast he thought she used her powers.

"Oh," Keith said, "Don't mind me! Carry on."

"Keith, I'm going to kill you," Beastboy said as Raven straightened her shirt.

"Oh, thanks," Keith said, he then turned to Raven, "This must be the beauty who has you enchanted." He took her hand and kissed in, Beastboy hand traveled over to the scalpel tray. "Charmed."

"Not to charmed, mind you," Beastboy growled. Raven hid a smile with her hand and pulled the wheeled tray out of his reach.

"You certainly seem like a charmer," Raven said, "But you're a couple days to late."

"Oh, well," he said, "I was never good at timing. How are you Gar?"

"I'm fine," he said, "Just over-exerted getting Raven out."

"You look fine," Keith said, eyeing Raven, "What happened."

"Just bumps and bruises," she replied, sitting on the bed, Beastboy slipped his arm around her waist, "I was pretty lucky, the steel that was over me was in one piece." Keith smiled.

"I'll keep this short," he said, "There's a redhead out there who's threatening to arrest me if I don't let her see you." Beastboy and Raven shared a knowing look.

"Kori," they both said. Keith left and Star rushed in. She wrapped them both in a bone-crushing hug.

"Friends," she said, "You are uninjured!" Raven and Beastboy would have answered, but they could not breathe.

"Star," Robin said, sauntering in, "They were uninjured, but I don't think they can breathe." Star let go; she smiled a laughed in her little quirky way. She reached for Robin's hand. "You are both OK?"

"Yeah," Raven answered, "Powers of healing really come in handy."

"You know," Beastboy said, "I think I read that somewhere? Healing is good." Raven smiled and shook her head. Robin chuckled and Star laughed lightly.

"Oh friends," she said, "We must do the party to celebrate your recovery. I will invite friends Cyborg and Jinx as well. It will be a pool party." Raven rolled her eyes.

'All right,' Beastboy thought to himself, 'Raven in a swimsuit.'

"Do I have to come," Raven asked, monotone like she would have done in the old days.

"Yes," Robin said, "If you don't I think Star would kidnap you." Raven smiled.

"Ok," she said, "When is this thing?"

"It will be tomorrow," Star said, "It is to late for one now, besides, Robin and I have off on Tuesday's." The others agreed that they could get off work and agreed to meet at Robin/Star's house at noon (yes, he does have a pool). Beastboy walked out with Raven, Cyborg was giving them all a lift home.

"Can you come with me," he asked, Raven looked at him, "I don't want to let you out of my sight just yet." Raven smiled. "I'll go home make sure Demeter's OK first. Then I'll come over, all right."

"Yeah," Beastboy could settle, "I'll get my car and pick you up." The office buildings were closer so Beastboy was able to take the girls from there in his car. Raven got Demeter settled and packed a bag for the night.

"I want you to be careful," Demeter said, "I know you know Gar really well, but keep your guard up. I don't want to loose you either."

"You won't," Raven said, putting her hand on her friends shoulder, "I know him really well. Besides, I've still got my transmitter." She showed Demeter the small implant on her back. "Cyborg gave these to us, the girls at least. If anyone tries anything I hit that and he gets a signal, then he homes in on us and kick the guys butt. Robin and Gar both know they're dead if they try anything."

"Still," Demeter said, "Just, be careful." Raven smiled.

"Are you sure you're OK," Raven knew Demeter was shaken a little.

"Yeah," she said, "I'll be fine, you go." Raven knew she should stay, so she unpacked her bag and called Gar.

"Can you stay here tonight," she asked, "I don't want to leave Dem alone, she's a little more shaken up then she lets on."

"OK," Gar said, "Buzz my up, I'm outside." Raven smiled and opened the elevator for him. He came in and she kissed him lightly. The three talked and watched a movie together, just healing from each other's presence. That night Gar heard Raven leave the room. He walked down and found her in Demeter's room. Demeter was crying in her sleep, little sobs that you could barely hear and crying out incoherently. Raven was holding her, letting Demeter cry into her shirt. Her pale skin shone in the moonlight from the window and her hair trailed down her back. She was rocking slightly and humming a quiet tune. Demeter soon quieted and Raven noticed Beastboy leaning against the doorway. She put Demeter back on her pillow and left quietly, leading him back to her room.

"She was attacked this week," Raven said, "At least I think so, she always has nightmares this week, just like I did last week. We're more alike then we'd like to think, just because of our histories."

"I know," Beastboy said, "She told me about your nightmares last week, that you have them every year."

"Just like her," Raven said, Beastboy wrapped his arms around her from behind. "It's kind of sad, that two people with so much pain can find each other. It think that's why I became a Titan, to help others so they wouldn't suffer like I did."

"Your not going to suffer anymore," Beastboy said into her hair, "I'm going to protect you, just like we did in the old days. I'm still watching your back Rae." Raven smiled and turned into him, nuzzling his chest. She kissed him and the two fell into a deep sleep, letting all their troubles go and living only for this moment.

So, what do you think? Please review, all flames welcome.
