Ok, I'm back. It's a good thing I wrote this chapter before, because I knew I wasn't going to have time to write today. I have BIG math test tomorrow. (Wish me luck)
Anyway, I'd like to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who reviewed my story, I was only expecting like... two. I can't thank everyone individually, so here's one big THANK YOU! Oh, and for those of you who thought Raven was pregnant, she's not. To be honest, that never even occurred to me as a possibility, but it would make sense... you guys must be really good at figuring out the endings to mystery movies. Oh, and I'd like to take the time to quickly thank Cat o'thWind for your review. I was hoping to get some constructive criticism. I never noticed before, but I do lack detail of surroundings. I'll try to work on that in the future, thanx.
Ok, sorry for the monologue... I don't own Teen Titans... and here's chapter two.
"Raven?"
…
"Raven, can you hear me?"
She knew that voice. It was familiar, but very distant.
From even farther away she could hear other voices speaking.
"Dude, is she gonna be okay? I mean, did you see how pale she was when we got to her?"
"Yes, and she is covered in bruises and various other injuries. I fear that the Cinderblock has caused her internal damage."
"I wouldn't be surprised, he was crushing her. We should have gotten to her sooner."
…
"Raven?"
There was that voice again, closer to her than the others. It echoed all around her. She wanted to find her way back to wherever the voices were coming from, but she couldn't move.
"Please Raven, wake up…"
She gathered what little remaining strength she had, and somehow managed to pull herself toward the voice.
Suddenly there was a great pain. She was no longer dull to feeling and lifeless, but now awake and in tune with her body.
Raven's eyelids fluttered and she moaned with the effort of trying to open them. It felt like minutes before she was finally able to accomplish the simple task.
Everything around her was bright and hurt to look at. It seemed painfully white, with the exception of a red and black blob hovering directly above her. As her eyes began to come into focus, she recognized the blob of color to be Robin, standing over her with a look of fear and concern mixed on his face.
She tried to say something, but the effort caused her too much pain, and all that escaped was another moan.
"Raven, don't try to talk. You were hurt pretty badly in the fight, and it'll be awhile before you get any of your strength back."
The memories of the fight came rushing back to her: Beast Boy flying through the air as a triceratops, the sound of Cyborg's sonic blast, the two cars that she had surrounded with dark energy, and then the feeling of being compressed into nothing.
It hurt to think of the memories, so she gave up and focused on the present. After a moment she realized that Robin was holding an oxygen mask to her mouth.
I must have just gotten here…Another minute passed in which Robin continued to hold the oxygen mask to Raven, while constantly checking the machinery next to her for some kind of reading. Finally satisfied, he removed the mask and set it on the table next to the bed.
"When we brought you here I first checked for any obvious serious injuries before bringing you into the emergency ward to get your stats back to normal. We haven't had time yet to take x-rays, so I'm gonna do that now… I'll need Cyborg to help me operate the equipment though, so I need to leave for a minute to get him, but I'll be right back." He was talking to her as if she were a young child scared of being alone.
After a moment's pause of hesitation, Robin left the room to get Cyborg, who was waiting just outside the door talking with the others.
Raven took another look at her surroundings, able to take more in this time. She could hear the soft beeping of the machinery around her, and noted Robin's cape thrown haphazardly to a chair in the corner, although most of it wasn't even on the chair.
It must be pretty bad, to have even Robin rattled this much.
The door opened and Cyborg and Robin entered. Cyborg headed over to the side, where the x-ray room was, while Robin came over to her.
"Okay Raven, if you could just try and stay awake for a few more minutes while we take the x-rays, then you can rest. All right?"
Raven nodded ever so slightly to let him know that she understood. Every movement caused her intense pain, and although she knew that she only had to stay awake for a little while longer, she sensed that it was going to be a long night.
Wow, I just realized how short my chapters are. Okay, I guess I'll go ahead and post chapter three then, to give you more stuff to read. I hope you like what you read. And don't forget to review!
