Chapter 16

Sorry, I was sick and I couldn't think about anything to write. So my sincerest apologies, please accept them. Well, ENJOY! (I'm serious I really need to stop doing that)

T Tower Med. Lab.

"Uh... Uh... Uh..." Raven was becoming conscious after she fainted after the battle with Slade. Raven's eyes slowly opened and she blinked a couple of times but then opened her eyes fully. She looked around then she realized were she was. "GASP!" She sat up fast as she realized she was in the Titan Med. Lab. She was sitting on a flat white bed that was elevated were her head was laying. The room was pretty big, but the room was blocked off by the big curtain. She could hear the automatic heart monitor going, she could also hear that someone else was in there with her. She could only make out the shadow, but, it seemed kind of short and had spiky hair. (Hint, hint) The person leaned up from the computer and turned to the curtain and pulled it open. It was Robin.

"I see your up." Robin said as he leaned against the wall that was close to him. Raven watched him lean against the wall, then, she saw her cape hanging up on a hook on the wall. Raven's eyes went wide. With out taking her eyes off Robin, she quickly pulled her hand below her neck. She felt nothing but her own leotard, no cape. Raven looked down then back up at Robin. Then a sharp, burning, tear wrenching pain ran through her arm. Raven closed her eyes and held her arm in pain.

"Dam it." She whispered.

"Does it still hurt?" Robin said as he got out of his leaning position and walked over to Raven on the bed.

"Why... do... you... care? Uh!" Raven was saying in pain.

"Here. Let me see." Robin came over and tried to pull Raven's arms away from the wound on her shoulder.

"NO!" Raven yelled as she tried to bat away Robin's arm. "Uh!" Raven groaned as she fell back on the bed.

"I just want to take a look." Robin said as he walked over to the other side of the bed. "We only put some healing lotion on it, we never got a good look at it." Robin said as he pulled her arms away from it.

"And... who brought the lotion?" Raven said weekly. Her eyes followed Robin as he worked to remove her arms.

"Starfire did." Robin said as he smirked a bit. Raven's eyes went wide then returned to normal state.

"Hum." She giggled a bit.

"What's so funny?" Robin asked as he started to pull off the torn part of her costume.

"She's probably repaying me for saving her life." Raven said as she looked a way and smiled a bit. "sigh" Robin smiled too. Robin worked to the point were he could see the whole wound, the wound was about almost to were th bone was on her collar bone, so literally from her neck to 3 inches below her shoulder was bare.

"Wow. That's a pretty nasty wound." Robin said as he backed up a bit. "I'll get some disinfecting ointment. I'll be right back." Robin walked out of the room so Raven was all alone. She sat up on the bed and turned so that her legs were dangling off the medical bed. Robin came back in the room. "Here this might help a bit." Robin took out a cotton ball and put some nasty smelling stuff on it.

"What do you mean it might help?" Raven said backing up from Robin's hand.

"It will depend on how long it's been open." Robin answered. "Now give me your shoulder." Robin put the bottle down and went to grab Raven's shoulder, but she pulled away. Robin got a little agitated with her pulling away. "I'm not here to play games Raven. Either we heal it now or it gets worse."

"Oh, alright." Raven gave in and leaned forward so Robin could grab her.

"Now this might hurt." Robin said. He was preparing him self for the worst to happen when he would press the cotton ball down on her wound. Robin slowly took the cotton ball and pressed it down on the wound.

"UH!" Raven groaned cause it hurt.(we all know how that feels) She closed her eyes tight and turned her head away. Robin finished the disinfecting and pulled back away from the wound, the cotton ball was all bloody.

"There." Robin sighed. "Want me to bandage it up?"

"No." Raven said as she brought her hand up to her shoulder. A blue aura engulfed her hand and the wound started to disappear. "I'll be fine." Raven was done healing her self and she pulled her sleeve over her shoulder and stood up. "Thanks though."

"Robin? Is she better?" Starfire's voice came from the door way as she poked her head in. Star's face looked worried then lit up when she saw Raven standing up. She quickly ran in and death hugged Raven. "Friend I am related that you are better."

"Uh... Thanks?" Raven said weakly as her lungs were being crushed by Starfire's powerful grip.

"Uhhh, Star." Robin said in concern. "I think you need to let her go now."

"Oh." Starfire let Raven go and backed up and smiled. Star, then, ran out the door.

"Ookaay." Raven looked at Robin as she was speaking. "Odd."

"Here." Robin handed Raven her cloak. Raven took her cloak and put it on swiftly. "Oh!" Robin reached in to his utility belt and pulled out a pendent. It had a gold rim, with a red circle in the middle of it, and very faintly there was a black bird drawn in the red circle, it looked like a raven.

"What is it?" Raven asked as she looked at it then to him.

"It's a pendent." Robin replied.

"I know that, but, what is it besides a pendent?" Raven asked.

"Well, if you put it that way." Robin said as he smiled a bit. "It's a tracker and trouble light to tell you there's trouble or a signal light so I could call you back to the tower with a push of a button." Raven looked at Robin confused. "Everyone has one. Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, even me." Raven took the pendent out of Robin's hand and studied it carefully. She ran her left hand over the top of it. "I uh... kind of made it special... for you... it was kind of my week project." Robin scratched the back of his head and blushed a bit. Raven looked at Robin and then at the pendent, she put the pendent on. "So... do you like it?" Raven walked up to Robin and leaned her head on his shoulder. Robin wrapped his hands around Raven's back and pulled her in as far as she would go.

Raven turned her head to Robin's and whispered in to his ear. "I love it." Then she kissed him on the cheek. Robin blushed a bit. He's never been kissed by a girl before. Robin pulled away in shock for a second and then smiled a bit. Raven smiled too. Then Robin leaned in and kissed Raven on the lips. Raven was shocked just like Robin was before, but she didn't pull away. She closed her eyes and snaked her arms around his neck to bring him in closer. Robin tightened his grip. Raven broke the kiss and turned away from Robin breaking his grip. "I'm sorry." she said.

"Why?" Robin asked.

"I just can't." Raven said as she tightened her cloak around her. "It's just... I can't control my powers." Robin walked up behind Raven and put one hand on her shoulder, not the hurt one!

"It'll be okay." Robin said to try to comfort her. "Maybe with a little training we could-"

"NO!" Raven yelled angrily. Then she said in a calm voice, "Look... I appreciate every thing that you are doing for me but..." Raven's silence and pain was like torture to Robin. He slid his hand off Raven's shoulder. Raven turned her head to look at Robin.

"But, what?" Robin asked.

"But-" Raven was interrupted by hearing Starfire's voice out in the hallway. Raven slowly edged her self behind Robin so if Starfire came to give her a death hug she'd have a barrier in between her and Star, Robin.
