(Chapter 6)
Beast Boy was still unready to go home after he finished his coffee. He headed down to the docks to think. He sat there and stared into the night. He could see the tower across the bay, his friends must still there, the lights shown bright. He let the note slip from his hand and into the bay. Maybe if he didn't have the note he could pretend nothing happened, pretend every thing was ok.
He got up and slowly walked tword the road.
An hour later Raven finally arrived, out of breath, over jump city. She flew above the city looking for Beast Boy. She searched the entire uptown section of Jump City when she decided to search by the docks. In an instant she saw him. A small green boy trying to get up. She flew down to his side.
"Beast Boy...." she said as she fell to her knees beside him. "What happened..."
"A car came, I wasn't paying attention. The driver didn't see me..." He said, his face looked pained.
"We need to get you home...." Raven said turning him onto his back and brushing some dirt off of his face.
"I tried, I can't move, my communicator is smashed...." He said and pain shot to his leg.
Raven noticed that his leg was bleeding badly. It was broken, aside from that and a few scratches he seemed ok.
"I'll have to carry you." Raven said putting down her bag and opening it. She found a shirt and wrapped it around his leg as a sort of cast. As she searched for something to use to tie it together a picture fell out of her bag, it was of her and Gar. She slid the picture into her pocket and continued her search. "This should hold" she said as she used some safety pins to secure his 'cast'.
"Raven..." Beast Boy said weak with pain.
"What?" she asked softly.
"I missed you..." he tried to smile.
"Lets get you home...." Raven said and lifted him so his one arm was over her shoulder. He leaned on his broken leg and passed out. Raven did her best to carry his limp body, it wasn't easy. She left her bag behind. She could hardly walk so she took to the air. She griped Beast Boy tightly afraid of him slipping into the bay. They were almost to the tower.
When they got there raven practically fell to the groung but caught herself at the last moment. Beast Boy didn't stir. She just managed to open the door. As she walked into the tower she wound up dragging Gar's feet. She hoped it didn't bother his leg to much. She opened the door to the main room.
All of the sounds of the party went silent. Every one looked over to see Raven standing in the door way dressed like a civilian with Beast Boy, unmoving, draped over her shoulders. Both looked tired and had blood on them. Raven stumbled and fainted.
Before they hit the groung Cyborg quickly grabbed both of them. He lifted one in each arm and looked at the others. "It's ok... I'll take care of them." He said carrying them to the hospital wing.
Robin and the others followed. They helped to get Beast Boy's leg into a real cast and clean both of them up.
"You guys go finish your party..." Cy said "I can handle it from here." The others went back to the party but it wasn't as fun as it had been.
".....Gar...." Raven mumbled and tried to get out of bed. Cyborg came over and pushed her back down.
"He's ok. Rest." He said.
"No, I need to see him!" she struggled against Cy's grip but he was too strong. "Vic. Let me go!"
"You're well. You need your rest." he said and held her down. Raven continued to struggle but she was too tired. "I'll let you see him, just calm down."
Raven was glad that Cy had given in. He helped her up and over to the bed across the room. He helped her into a chair. She looked at Beast Boy who was still unconscious.
"He'll be ok. If you got him here a second later he might not have been..." He put a hand on Raven's shoulder. "What happened?"
Raven took a deep breath "It's all my fault....." She said and Cy sat next to her and put his arm around her for comfort. She told him all she knew.
"Vic...." she finished "I'm so sorry" A cabinet opened and some medical supplies fell out as Raven cried.
"Don't worry, tofu boy will be ok." He rubbed her back "I'll tell Robin that you went for a walk and when you were about to come home you found BB."
"Thanks" Raven said and wiped a tear from her eye.
"You should get back in bed. I'll wait till morning to tell the others that you're up." he smiled at her and got up from his chair.
"I want to sit here.... Don't worry, I'm ok." Raven said.
"Well, If you don't mind I'm gonna get some shut eye." he yawned and left the room.
Raven looked back to Beast Boy. He was only trying to make her stay and now look at him. His face looked relaxed, the pain must have faded. She fell asleep in the chair beside him.
(Ok... bb was sleeping through most of this chapter so the next one will be mostly about him)
