Changes pt 4
Cyborg walked in checking all the monitors and writing some things down on a checklist that he was keeping on a table near the bed. "He should be waking up soon again," Cyborg peered over at Raven who was sitting down next to Beast boy in a chair just starring out into space it seemed, "Yeah the medication should be wearing off soon and that should wake him," Cyborg nodded his head agreeing with his analysis.
He sighed looking over at Raven hoping for some kind of remark, some kind of gesture but she just sat there and stared in her own little world, "Why did he do it?"
Raven finally looked up at him her mouth opened as though she was going to say something but then she simply shrugged and stared back ahead.
"I think he did it because of you."
Rave blinked, and then quickly shook her head to Cyborg's comment.
"Why not? He changed to save you and then changed back when you told him to," Cyborg sighed again, "You may want to put on this persona of being cold and gloomy all the time but you may have to accept the fact that the little green bug as a thing for you," Cyborg quickly shut up and left when he saw Raven's eyes turning red glaring at him angrily.
She took a deep breath and looked over at Beast boy, "Is that why?" She put a hand to her head and wished that she could just sort everything out.
"Mmmmmm…."
Her head shot up upon hearing Beast boy moaning, his limbs stretched upon the bed and he groaned again. "Are you okay?"
Beast boy's hazy eyes looked at her they were glossed over and dilated, "A mongoose killeeeed the sssnake my mommms wassz haapy," he mumbled and slurred. Raven rolled her eyes, great; she thought he's still loopy from the medication.
His eyes searched for hers, "Hey Raeee's," he moved his head so he was glancing up at the ceiling, "Rae is soooo pretty," he yawned and his body stretched again, He then gasped in pain.
"Take it easy Beast boy you're in bad shape," Raven didn't notice that her hand was rubbing his arm gingerly.
He let out a small howl and a whimper of pain. Raven wondered where the line between him being an animal and him being human actually was. She took her hand off his arm and rubbed her face. She wiped away a tear, why was she crying? "Beast boy I'm sorry I'm mean to you most of the time. I'm selfish in that regard, thinking that I always have it worst off and that gives me the right to treat everyone like dirt but that isn't right. Especially you, I mean…. I don't know," she placed her somber head against his arm and sniffed slightly; "I'll help ya Beast boy. We'll figure out why this is happening to you, I promise," she began rubbing her nails up and down his arm as she laid her head against it, she listened to him purr in satisfaction.
When the purring stopped she lifted her head and noticed that he had fallen back asleep, much more peacefully this time, a smile painted upon his lips. Thoughts began to wonder through her head. She slowly leaned her face down towards his lips, she wasn't sure why this was happening but it was. Something inside of her wanted to know what it would feel like, something inside of her told her this was right. Carefully she placed her lips upon his and she felt a shiver run through her body. She quickly pulled away, it was pain. She frowned, why would she feel pain through his lips? "What are you hiding from me Beast boy? What is it that troubles you?" She sighed yet again and stretched as she stood up. She turned around to see Starfire floating there in the doorway frowning at her.
"Friend Raven," she whispered.
Raven said nothing, she just looked at Starfire she wanted to cry and she didn't know why. She was feeling so many unexplained emotions it was just crushing her.
Starfire flew over and enveloped her friend in a hug, "Come let us do the chit chat."
Raven smirked lightly from under her hood from Starfire's wording and allowed her comrade to guide her to the roof of the tower. "Why the roof Star?" Ravin made her way over to the edge and sat down.
"Oh I wish for you not to hate me, but your room scares me and I know that you dislike pink and my room is mostly pink, so I picked up here."
"I do not hate you Star," Raven replied.
"Oh I am most glad," Starfire floated over and sat down next to Raven. "I fear for friend Beast Boy though. Robin thought we should tie him up, but I didn't think that would be right," Starfire was shaking her head adamantly.
"Just because he lost control doesn't make him a monster," Raven answered harshly, "And we shouldn't treat him as such."
Starfire nodded, "I agree, though I wish I knew why he changed so, and why he only listened to you."
"I don't know yet Star, but I will find out. I'm going to help Beast boy."
Starfire cocked and lowered her head so to stare into Raven's hood, "You like our green friend… yes?" Starfire said excitement building in her words.
Raven did something she has never done once in her entire life, she stammered, "I… I… I… I… don't know," Raven got up. "I need to meditate."
Starfire gleamed and flew a few circles in the air clapping.
