It was late at night, and Mystic Angel still hadn't wakened up. Raven sat near the bed in the air, Starfire watched from the foot, Beast Boy was standing next to her head and Robin sat on the edge of her bed and watched her face for any signs. Cyborg was reading the monitors that were hooked up to Angel.

"She's not doing good, guys." He said softly

"Will she be okay?" BB asked Cyborg.

"It's hard to say. We'll know in the morning." Cyborg confirmed.

The others went to bed, but Robin stayed put with Angel. He looked up at the ticking clock, it was one in the morning and still there was no sign of hope. He sighed and tried not to worry, but he couldn't help it. He took her hand and looked at her face again. Her hands were so soft, and he rubbed his thumb on the back it. "This is all my fault." He said to himself. "I should have stayed and helped you." He was now speaking to Angel, who could not hear him. "I know Slade planned that, but I don't know what he wants. I'll find out though, I won't let him hurt you again, I promise." There was no reply. "Please wake up. I promise if you do, I'll never let anything happen to you again. I…I didn't want the team to know…but Raven was right. I…I really do care about you. Even thought I didn't want to admit it. And it's not like caring for the rest of the team…it's…deeper." Then he went quiet for a moment and bowed his head. He felt hopeless, like she'd never wake up. But he felt a stirring next to him. He looked over at Angel who slowly opened her eyes and moaned.

"Ugh…Robin?" she spoke. He gasped and grabbed her hands in his.

"You're okay!" he cheered softly and leaned in to look at her face.

"What happened….did….did I beat him?" she asked.

"You kicked his butt. But that's the last thing you need to worry about right now." He told her.

"Where are the others?"

"They're fine."

"Did you get Slade?"

"No, but I was more worried about you." He confessed. "Are you alright?"

"I think so."

"You're burned."

"I think I can fix that."

"How?"

"If I meditate, they should be gone in a few days. Other than that, I think I'm unharmed." She smiled.

"You really scared me." He said and she looked him in the eyes.

"You don't have to worry about me."

"You should get some rest." He said as he stood up, "I'll see you in the morning. Get well soon."

"Will do." And he let her hands slip out of his and left. Angel just settled down and went back to sleep.

The next morning, Mystic Angel awoke when she heard someone walk into the room. She didn't open her eyes until she heard someone's breathing over her. She peeked open and saw Starfire looking down at her with concern on her face. Angel rubbed her eyes and sat up.

"You are unharmed?" Star asked her. Angel smiled.

"I'm doing fine."

"You could have been killed."

"Part of the thrill." She shrugged.

"Robin told us you had woken this morning, he is very happy to see you are well."

"I'm sorry I kind of stole your boy wonder from you."

"You didn't. I learned through watching his actions that he sees me just as a friend."

"But you liked him." Star was quiet for a moment.

"I am happy for you on winning his admiration. He's been waiting to see you. Do not keep him waiting." She finished with a smile. Angel smiled and got out of bed. She walked with Star into the hallway.

"Thank you Starfire. I hope we can still be friends."

"After you saved me the other day, despite of what I said to you, I would say we are nothing less. Thank you Mystic Angel." And they hugged each other.

"Angel!" they heard Robin call as he ran down the hallway and up to them.

"Robin!" Angel replied and smiled as they embraced each other in a hug. Star watched on as he lifted her off her feet and squeezed her tight.

"I'm so happy you're alright." He said as he set her down.

"Me too, now we can get back in the game and go kick some butt, right?" Robin gave her a look.

"I don't think so. You got lucky, maybe you should take it easy." He told her. "I don't want to see you get hurt again." She put her hands on her hips.

"Robin…don't start this up again, please." Angel said with sad eyes.

"But, I'm just worried about you." He confessed with sad eyes right back.

"Robin, I can take care of myself. You don't need to worry."

"But," he started, but the team cut him off.

"ANGEL!" Beast Boy cheered as he ran up to Angel and hugged her! Cyborg ran up and squeezed her and Beast Boy!

"Alright, group hug!" he laughed heartily as they struggled to breathe. He set them down and Raven walked up to Angel and hugged her.

"You're one amazing hero, Angel." She said.

"Thanks."

"We threw you a party." Cyborg said with a grin.

"You threw me a party, why?"

"To celebrate your wellness." Starfire came in.

"We're really happy you're okay, so we invited some friends as well." Beast Boy said.

"You haven't met all the Teen Titans yet." Robin told her with a hand on her shoulder.

"Sounds like fun." She said with a huge smile of happiness.

"Wonderful, let us begin to prepare for the night of fun and friends!" Starfire cheered as they walked off. Angel went to follow but Robin grabbed her hand. She turned to face him.

"Can I talk to you in private?"

"Is something wrong?"

"No, not at all. I just want to talk to you." He led her out to the garage. He uncovered his motorcycle and put on a helmet. "I know a great place where we can be alone." And he tossed her a helmet.

"Alone?" she shrugged and put it on. She climbed on to the bike behind Robin and they were off.
