Chapter 5

Cyborg's Observations

Disclaimer: Ok, now your just taunting me. No, I do NOT own the Teen Titans.

Last Time:

I slipped into unconsciousness as we flew to the tower. My Dreams always drifted towards a certain green shapeshifter.

Raven's POV:

Light. Agonizingly bright light greeted me giving me a headache. As soon as my eyes adjusted I looked at my surroundings.

I was in the Tower's infirmary. Machines occasionally beeped around me recording my status.

My body was strangely covered in cuts and bruises. I can heal myself, I've never had to deal with these annoying pains before. My wrist was in constant burning, like it was on fire. The skin underneath looked shriveled and burnt. My powers were trying to heal me and the bracelet was preventing it.

I guess it's going to be a long couple of weeks of healing the old-fashioned way. I thought. Great…

I tried to sit up, and was met with an even worse migraine.

That's when I noticed a figure beside me.

Beast Boy. My heart seemed to warm. He was sleeping, slumped over in a chair beside the bed. A little line of drool seeped from the side of his mouth.

I took a tissue on the nightstand next to the bed and wiped his face gently. Startled he woke up with a jump.

"Rae," he said relieved and somewhat confused.

"You need to start sleeping with a bib," I said throwing the tissue in a nearby wastebasket.

"Huh?"

"You drool," I said.

"Oh, yeah," he said embarrassed. "Sorry about that."

"…"

"But you're awake, finally. You've been out for three days now."

"Three days?" I said raising my eyebrows.

"Yeah… What happened back there Rae? Why did you leave? Why where you tied up somewhere in a cave? Who…"

"Beast Boy," I said softly. "I…I was meditating in the wilderness when someone snuck up behind me and drugged me. When I woke up I was tied up in a cave. The one you fought, his name was Lashoom. The other one's Takeem. They're Demon Catchers. They hunt out demons and sell them as slaves for a great price."

"But why didn't you use your powers? Why didn't you free yourself and fight them? Or help me fight them?"

"Because I couldn't," my voice rising. "He bound me with this." I held up wrist. "This bracelet prevents me from using my powers and turns them against me. Leaving me helpless, weak."

"Rae," he whispered. His face was one of concern and sympathy. He looked at my wrist and the burned skin underneath. He gently reached out…

"Don't," I winced as he held my hand.

"I won't hurt you," he comforted. He carefully inspected my wrist as delicately as possible. "Aloe might help. It's good for burns and cuts and stuff. We have a fresh plant on the grounds. That should ease your pain a bit."

"Where did you hear that?" I asked.

"My parents used it on me every time I got a burn." He replied.

He looked up at me. I only nodded amazed. He was so caring, so… mature.

He noticed me staring and smiled. I couldn't help but giving him a small one back and his, if possible, grew wider.

SWOOSH

"Friend Raven, it is glorious to see you have awakened," Starfire cried as she rushed forward and squeezed my brains out.

"Your hurting me…"

"Oh. I apologize. I did not realize..."

"It's okay Star."

Robin and Cyborg came in after Starfire.

"You okay little lady?" Cyborg asked.

"I suppose so," I replied as he went over to the scanners to check.

"Great to see you awake and doing well, Raven. But, if you don't mind me asking, What exactly happened?" Robin asked. Strait to business, as usual. I sighed and explained my story. Not mentioning the little fight with Beast Boy.

"We won't let them get you," Robin said. "We have to get rid of that bracelet. As long as it's on you your venerable."

I looked down at the piece of jewelry. I tried to take it off but it only stung more. I gritted my teeth and continued, FLASH.

There was a burst of bright light followed by tormenting pain.

I lost all control and screamed. My knees buckled and I passed out.

BB's POV

"RAVEN!" I yelled and caught her as she fell. I heaved her unto the bed. Everybody quickly ran over to see if she was okay.

"She's breathing," Robin stated. Immediately, as if ordered to, Cyborg began hooking her up to various machines.

"She's starting to stabilize," Cyborg announced.

Starfire was doing whatever possible to wake Raven up. Some of her attempts were yelling in her ear, dumping water. Luckily Robin stopped her when she brought in some strange alien cooking.

I was next to the bed clutching her hand. She had to be all right, she just had to be.

Eventually everyone started to leave till it was only me and Cyborg in the room.

"Dude, I know your worried about her, we all are. But you need to get some rest. Come on I'll play ya on the Gamestation," Cyborg said.

"I can't leave," I replied.

"You haven't left her side in three days. You need to get outta here. I'm sure she'll be fine."

"I caused this. I drove her away which got her kidnapped. Because of that she's in a whole lot of pain. I have to stay."

"Don't do this to yourself man. YOU didn't kidnap her. YOU didn't give her the bracelet…"

"No, but I'm the reason all this happened."

Cyborg sighed and sat down in a chair next to me.

"You like her don't ya?" He said.

I was shocked. Secretly I knew I had feelings for her. Secretly I imagined what like would be like if we were together. But I never admitted it to myself. I mean, how could I like someone who hated me? No. She didn't hate me. But ever since I went into her mirror/mind, my feelings for her grew. No matter what I did I couldn't get her out of my mind. That's when it hit me like a train… I loved Raven. I loved Raven and I would do anything for her. Anything.

"BB. Hey. Earth to BB. HELLO!" Cyborg said waving his hands in front of my face.

"Yeah, yeah, what?" I asked annoyed.

"Do you like Raven? Why am I asking, it's so obvious you do," Cyborg teased, with the smile children have when the find out a secret.

"…" I said nothing. I didn't want to deny it. I couldn't. But I couldn't say yes either, Cyborg would never let me hear the end of it.

"I knew it," Cyborg cried happily.

"Cyborg? I please don't tell anyone," I pleaded softly.

Cyborg, catching my mood said, "It's ok dude, I won't tell her."

I looked up at him hopefully and smiled. He was a good friend, I could trust him.

"Come on, lets go watch some TV," he said standing up.

"Nah I think I need a rest," I said.

"K. Later," he said and walked down one end of the hallway. I stood there for a moment and watched him leave. Then, after peaking in to make sure Raven was okay, headed towards the garden.
