I do not own the Teen Titans, but hey I got some good news. I just saved a bunch of money on my car Insurence with Geico. Hey the joke still has a little flava left in it. Oh well I think It's time to update more on me chapter's so here ya go.
Chapter 3: Oh that happens all the time.
Everyone woke up in high spirts today, well except for Kevin. His ribs still hurt like hell. Everyone was relaxing after training for the day, but Kevin sat out due to his broken ribs.
"Man that's no fair you guy's got to do the obstacle course today, thats my favorite excersise." Kevin said dissapointed as he slumped his head.
"You can't do anything as long as your still hurt Kevin you know that." Robin sad as he slapped him on his back.
"I know, it's just I love the obstacle course." Kevin said.
"Why?" Starfire asked.
"Well when I still lived with my family, I made myself an obstacle course in a spot not very many people knew. And everyday before I started to learn Tai Chi, I would run that thing everyday and time myself. That's when I first started to try to control my power's." Kevin said.
"How long have you been doin Tai Chi anyway?" Robin asked seeing as he dabbled in martial arts himself.
"Since I was nine." Kevin said.
"And how long did you run that obstacle course?" Robin asked.
"Since I was seven." Kevin said. "Well If you excuse me for a moment, hey Raven wanna help me heal my rib's?" Kevin asked.
"Ok let's go." Raven said as they left the room to go take the bandages off. They made there way to the medical wing as Kevin entered the room. Raven found a pair of medical scisors to cut the bandages. "Come here let me cut the bandages off." Raven said as Kevin slowly took his shirt off so he wouldn't hurt himself. She slowly started to cut off the bandages and roll them back up. It took a little bit of time seeing as there were a lot of bandages. They finaly took them all of as Kevin reaveled his injuries. His entire midsection was black and blue.
"Man that looks bad." Kevin said seeing his ribs for the first time. "How many bones were broken?" Kevin asked Raven.
"About five." Raven said as she placed the scissors on the table next to them. Kevin let out a wistle like he was impressed.
"Beat my old record of three." Kevin said. "Well let's get this over with." Kevin then clapped his hands together. "Ready?" Kevin asked as Raven got ready and nodded. The each released there powers at the same time as Kevin felt his bones repairing on the inside of his body. When it was over Kevin let out a chill as he shivered. "Man that always feels wierd." Kevin the moved around slowly to check there handy work. After moving around a little bit more, he saw that they good to go and Kevin was ready for anything again. "Alright now that I'm good to go I wanna try somethin out. Follow me." Kevin said as he and Raven left the hospitol wing and went back to the other's. When they got back Kevin saw Starfire playing with Silky, Beastboy playing a game and Cyborg reading. Kevin went over to Cyborg. "Hey Cy I need to ask ya something. Do you think that you can go to the cave where Terra is and check to see if anything besides her was turned to stone?" Kevin asked Cyborg.
"I don't have to. I checked that theory out earlier, and apparently a few bats and other thing were turned to stone as well." Cyborg told him. "Yeh I tried out a few things with them to see If I could bring Terra back without hurting her."
"Cool, do ya think you can get me a bat? I wanna try out my theory." Kevin said.
"Sure man I'll be right back." Cyborg then got up and went to his room to go get a petrified bat. Kevin then went to his room to look at a few pappers he wrote down to review on what he needed to do. When he came back he put a few papper's on a table.
"Hey does anyone have a small bird cage and a drape to put over it?" Kevin asked the other's
"Well I don't have a cage, but I do have a drape." Beast Boy said.
"Well I can make the cage, but can you get me the drape?" Kevin asked. Beast Boy then left for his room as Cyborg entered the room.
"Got the bat." Cyborg said holding up a small blue container, that looked like a small tackle box. Beast Boy came back with the drape.
"Here's the drape man." Beast Boy said as he handed him the drape. Kevin then walked over to an aluminum chair.
"Does anyone use this?" Kevin asked around as everyone shook there head no. He then placed his hands together and put them on the chair as he changed it to a small bird cage. "Alright can you turn the lights down Starfire?" Kevin asked as Starfire moved to the wall and turned the lights down. Kevin then proceeded to close all the windows.
"Why are you doing that?" Beast Boy asked.
"Well it's a bat, so it's sensitive to light. You should know that you can turn into them." Kevin then got the bat from Cyborg as he placed the container on the tablehe then slowly took the bat out and placed it on the table. Robin then came into the room to see the room almost compleatly dark.
"What's going on in here?" Robin asked as he accidently ran into Starfire still adjusting to the darkness.
"Friend Kevin is bringing a bat back to life out of the stone." Starfire said.
"Alright you ready Raven?" Kevin asked her.
"Yes." Raven moved next to him.
"Ok at the count of three, one...two...three!" Kevin then claped his hands together as he placed his hands on the bat and Raven used her healing magic. It was weird because you couldnt see much in the dark, but after about twenty seconds everyone heared a loud screech. Everyone then heared as the bat took off from the table and flew around the room. Kevin let out a sharp wistle as he held out his metal hand. The bat then hung himself from his index finger.
"Ah it is in my hair!" Starfire yelled as she waved at her hair.
"No it's not, it's on my hand." Kevin said letting out a giggle as he moved over to the cage. He placed the bat into the cage and put the drape over it. "Ok you can turn on the light's." Kevin said as he placed the bat on the table next to his paper's. He also brushed off a little of the powder rock that left over from the bat. He could only seperate the rock from the flesh, just like his mom told him. Robin turned on the lights.
"Dude it worked that's awsome!" Beast Boy said as he was extreamly excited at this point. Kevin then turned around to face the other's. Everyone let out a gasp of shock as they saw Kevin's face. "HOLY CRAP. YOUR BLEEDING!" Beast Boy said as he saw that the whole bottom of Kevin's face was drenched in blood. Kevin then placed his hand on his face as he felt the blood.
"Oh that happens all the time. Man that's a lot more than usual." Kevin said as he moved to the kitchen as everyone followed. Raven got a towel out of a drawer and started to wipe the blood from Kevin's face.
"What do you mean all the time?" Raven asked.
"Well one of the backdraws of me healing things is everytime I do it I start to bleed from my nose." Kevin said as he rinsed the rag to get rid of some of the blood on it.
"We've never seen blood before." Beast Boy said.
"Neither have I." Raven said.
"Well the time I healed Starfire, I bled but only a lttle bit and I wiped it off before you guy's saw." Kevin said.
"What about when we healed you bones?" Raven asked.
"Well my guess is your magic prevented me from bleeding, but I guess it wasn't enough to stop it this time." Kevin then walked out of the kitchen with a clean rag and walked over to where there was a blood trail from the table to the kitchen.
"Man if you lost this much blood on a bat, how much are gonna lose when you bring back Terra?" Robin asked. Kevin then looked up a little as he started to mumble.
"Divided by...carry the four...add mass... About two pints give or take." Kevin said casually as he cleaned the rest of his blood up.
"Give or take what?" Raven asked.
"Another pint." Kevin said as he stood up.
"Are you sure about this, that's a lot of blood." Robin said.
"I'll be fine. Besides I'll be fine tommorow then I can return this little guy to the cave." Kevin said as he pointed at the cage.
"Your gonna do it tommorow?" Beast Boy asked.
"I don't see why not. I just need plenty of rest and a good meal and I'll be fine. I'm gonna need a lot of rest actually cause I am extreamly dizzy right now." Kevin then fell down to the floor on one knee as Raven rushed to his side.
"Are you OK?" Raven asked as she helped Kevin up.
"Yeah, I just need to lie down now." Kevin then stood up with a little help from Raven as he shook his head. His hair got into his eyes as he realized it was growing pretty long. He basically looked like a surfer from California right about now.
"Common I'll help you to your room." Raven said as she guided Kevin out of the living room. They were walking by all the rooms as they saw Beast Boy in Terra's room aparently putting up banner's that said welcome back. He also started to put a few streamer's around the room.
"Man he must really like her." Kevin said as he walked towards his room. "Well just one more reason to bring her back." Kevin said as Raven followed.
"Don't worry you can do this. Besides I'll be right there next to you." Raven said as she wrapped her arm around the middle of his back.
"Thanks that really means a lot to me." They reached his room. Kevin opened his door seeing as it was different from the other Titans door's as it had a doorknob and wasn't electronic. He requested this from Robin as he liked normal door's better than electronic ones. He even had a key just in case. "Well I'll see you in the morning, OK." Kevin said as he wrapped both of his arms around her.
"Ok, I'll make sure the other's don't wake you." Raven said as she hugged him. They eached leaned in and gave each other the first passionate kiss.
"I'll see you in the morning. Love you." Kevin said with a smile as he hugged her one last time and went into his room.
"I love you too." Raven said before he closed his door. He waved as she went back into the living room.
Kevin woke up brihgt and early that morning as he prepared himself. He didn't have one bad dream eversince that dream where he was on the street with the other Titans, and them. He went to the roof to go and relax. When he got to the roof he saw that the sun was just starting to come up. He walked to the middle of the tower as he took a deep breath and sat down as he started to meditate. He needed to be prepared mind and body for the task ahead. Once he finished meditating he started to go through a few forms he could remember that his master taught him. He moved like water with each fluent motion as he went through his forms. He then appered to be moving an invisible force as he cocentrated more on his technique. Raven had seen Kevin come up to the roof and follwed him up. She even took away the tin can trap he set out remembering last time. Raven was amazed at the way Kevin moved around. Kevin was just like a bag caught in a breeze. Kevin finshed his form as he took in a deep breath.
"You can come out now." Kevin said with a smile he then turned around to face Raven. Raven was surprised that Kevin even noticed her.
"How did you know?" Raven said as she walked towards him.
"My master taught me to be aware of everything around me." Kevin said as they both walked towards the edge of the tower and sat down letting there feet dangle from the edge. They were just enjoying the sunrise together as the rested there heads on each other, holding each other's hand's.
"You ready for today?" Raven said breaking the silence.
"As long as your there I have nothing to worry about." They stayed on the roof for what seemed like forever not wanting to move, but they had too some time. "Common let's go get somthing to eat." Kevin said as he stood up. They headed to the kitchen as Kevin wipped up some grub. Raven helped a little bit with what she could do, Kevin even showed her a few more things. The other Titan's walked in as Beast Boy and Cyborg looked like zombies going for the food in a hypnotized state.
"Man that smells good." Beast Boy said as he took a seat.
"Man I am glad your here, It's kinda boring eating pizza most of the time." Cyborg said as he leaned in to wisper in Kevin's ear. "And Starfire's cooking scares me."
"Well I've never eaten any of her food, but hey I'll try anything once." Kevin said as he sat down. Everyone was haveing one of the best breakfast's ever. Everyone had a smile on their face. Kevin then stood up with his cup in his hand as everyone looked at him. "Now I know this might seem corny, but I would like to make a toast. First I would like to thank all of you guy's. You have been like a second family to me. Robin your like a father figure, always keeping order around the tower and the city. Starfire your like a sister I never had, always haveing a smile on your face and putting everyone at high spirit's. Cyborg your like a big brother, always looking out for the others. Beast Boy your like a little brother , I mean who els am I gonna scholl in video games." Everyone had a good laugh from that one.
"Common you havn't even played a single game yet." Beast Boy said.
"Well we'll see. Anyways last but certainly not least, is Raven. You have shown me something no one else has, the love of another. You are always at my side helping me through my most diffcult task's. And for that I am eternaly grateful." Kevin then lifted up his glass. "To Friendship." Kevin said. Everyone lifted their glasses.
"To Frienship." Everyone said at the same time.
"Well let's go bring someone back." Kevin said as he drank the rest of his water and put the glass on the table. He then grabbed the birdcage with the bat inside. Everyone got up from the table and walked to the car. When they got to the garage Kevin was the first to speak. Hey Robin, might wanna take your cycle, cause were gonna need space in the car." Kevin was feeling extreamly optemistic today. He felt that he could, and would bring Terra back. Everyone except for Robin got in the car as Robin mounted his cycle they then left the tower heading for the cave where Terra was. The Titans chatted it up the entire ride untill they got to the cave. When they reached the cave they started to walk the rest of the way. Raven then leaned over towards Kevin.
"You ready?" Raven asked.
"For anything." Kevin responded. They made it to where Terra was frozen in stone. The Titans had made a little shrine for herwith a little plaque on the bottom of the shrine that read: Terra a great friend and a Teen Titan. Kevin walked over to the petrified girl and scanned the statue. After he looked over it he leaned in to Cyborg. "No on wonder Beast Boy likes her." He wispered in his ear.
"What was that." Raven said.
"Nothing." Kevin quickly said. Kevin then placed the birdcage on the ground and opened up the cage. The bat flew out of the cage and landed on Kevin's hand.
"How do you do that?" Beast Boy asked.
"I don't know, I've just have this thing with animals." Kevin then pet the bat on the head as he put his arm up and the bat flew away. "Well is everyone ready?" Keivn asked. Everyone shook there head as he walked over to the Terra's petrified form. "Well Raven it's now or never." Kevin said as he put his hands together. "Oh and guy's remember, don't freaked out about the blood." Kevin then took a deep breath and blaced his hands on Terra's stomach. Raven backed him up using all the healing magic she could produce sending a beam of black energy through Kevin's hands into Terras body. Flash's came from Kevins hands as he used his powers to seperate Terra from the stone. Kevin's nose started to drip blood as the stone on Terra's body appered as it started to get chipped away. Terra's hair started to return to it's orriganal blonde as the stone was leaving her body. The other Titans looked as they saw that Kevin and Raven were actually doing it. The stone was now coming off of Terra's upperbody, she was returning to her normal human self. Kevin was starting to get dizzy exerting all the energy in his body, the loss of blood wasn't helping either. The stone was now leaving Terra's knees as she was almost out of her stone prison. "Almost there." Kevin said as he started to fall on one knee but keeping hi hands where they were so he wouldn't lose contact, and ruin everything. The stone was now all gone as Terra fell off of the platform. Beast Boy was able to catch her before she hit the ground, as Kevin was on both knees now breathing very heavily as blood continued to pour from his nose like a sink faucet. "Did it work?" Kevin asked through his breething. Robin checked her pulse and saw that Terra was still alive.
"Yeah she's still alive." Robin said.
"Good it worked. That's great." Kevin then passed out on the ground, blood dripping from his nose.
"Common let's get back to the Tower." Raven said as she picked up Kevin with a little help from Starfire.
"Ohhhh my head." Kevin said as he placed his hand on his forehead. "Someone got the plate to that Mack truck, right?" Kevin said as he started to sit up. He was then pushed back down.
"Oh no you don't you lost a lot of blood." Raven said as she wiped the rest of Kevin's blood off of his face.
"Hey Raven...You know I gotta stop passing out." Kevin said with a smile. "So how are the other's?" Kevin asked.
"There doing great, there in the livingroom right now talking with Terra." Raven told him.
"Oh she's already awake. How long have I been out?" Kevin asked.
"Only for about two hour's." Raven told him. She then handed him a glass of orange juice. "Common drink this you need to get your bood sugar back up."
"Yes mother." Kevin said as Raven nuged his shoulder. "Geez, sorry." Kevin said with a giggle. Kevin chugged his drink as he sat up. He started to take deep breath's. He then took his legs off of the bed as he took more deep breath's. He then stood up taking a few deep breath's. He started to feel a little bit dizzy. "Ok maybe I stood up too fast." He then ran into his bathroom and threw up in the toilet.
"Are you all right?" Raven asked as she sat by his side.
"Yeah, just got a little dizzy." Kevin then stood up and rinsed out his mouth and brushed his teeth. "Common let's go see the guy's." Kevin said as he left the room before Raven could say anything. Kevin and Raven entered the room with the other's as everyone sat up with a smile on there face.
"Kevin you are awake." Starfire then ran at Kevin.
"Oh crap." Kevin said as he braced himself as Starfire gave him another bear hug. "OK, OK, that's enough." Kevin said as Starfire let go. Terra then ran and gave Kevin a hug. "Umm... hi I'm Kevin. Whats your name." Kevin said as Terra let go. Then with out warning Beast Boy ran at Kevin and gave him a hug. Kevin was a little wierded out at this one seeing as it was Beast Boy. When Beast Boy let go they each started to put out there chests like strong men. "So how about them Giant's" Kevin said in a deep manly voice. Everyone was haveing a great time as everyone was chatting it up with Terra, telling her about everything that's happened while she was encased in stone. Kevin had been drinking more fluids at Ravens request he then got up after finishing another glass of orange juice. He poured himself another glass as he left the room and headed to the roof. He stood on the roof drinking his orange juice feeling a lot better now than before. Raven then came onto the roof.
"I saw you come up here, you alright." Raven asked.
"Oh yeah I'm great. I mean I just brought someone back to life, in a manner of speaking." Kevin said as he started to drink his orange juice. "I just came up here to think. What's today?" Kevin asked.
"December 3rd, why?" Raven told him.
"Wow, now that I think about it...Four years." Kevin just stared out over the town. "Hey Raven what would you say if I left for a couple of day's?" Kevin asked.
"What. Why?" Raven asked.
"Well now that I think about it, I havn't visited my mother's grave since the funeral. And I would really like to pay my respects." Kevin said. "It's gonna be her birthday in three day's and I really should go visit." Kevin finished.
"It sounds like you really loved your mother." Raven said.
"Yeah I did." Kevin answered her.
"Well If you think you should go I can't stop you, but you should tell everyone." Raven told him.
"Yeah I should." Kevin and Raven then walked back to the other's. "Hey guy's can I talk to you for a sec?" Kevin asked.
"Sure man whats up." Robin said.
"Hey I'm gonna go for a couple of day's. There's some things I wanna do at home. And I just wanted to let you guy's know so you don't woryy about me." Kevin told them.
"Why not, you could use a break, after what you've done for everyone I don't see any problems. But you have to take your communicator with you." Robin told him.
"Sure no problem. So it's OK?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah." Robin said. "When are you leaving?" Robin asked.
"Now." Kevin said. "I have to leave now so I make it home in time." Kevin said.
"Oh common, I barely got to know you." Terra said.
"I'll tell ya everything when I get back, deal?" Kevin said.
"Deal." Terra responded. Kevin then went into his room and got his backpack and his only other pair of clothe's, witch strangley enough were the exact same clothe's. He then came back up into the room. "Well I'll make sure to check in everyday guy's. Who know's maybe something interesting will happen." Kevin then gave Raven a hug and gave her a kiss goodbye. "I'll see ya guy's in a few days." Kevin said as he left heading to the roof.
"Wait a sec, did he just kiss you?" Terra asked.
"Oh did I forget to mention, were going out." Raven said with a little smile on her face. Terra was compleatly stunned at this comment, as Raven was a compleatly different person then what she used to be like when she was there.
