1Recovery and Returning
It was two days later that Batman had awaken. The battle with Galfore had really taken it out of him, I mean imagine, a normal human being with nothing but gadgets and martial arts skills beat one of the strongest men alive in a battle. Pretty impressive if you think about it.
"Will he be… okay" Starfire asked worried. The Tamerainian doctor that was stationed by Galfore to look over Batman gave her a worried look.
"I don't know" He said. "The human body is very new to me… I'm not sure exactly how bad he is" The doctor said sadly. Starfire gave the body of Batman a sad look… tears forming in her eye's.
The other Titans waited by the door with Galfore… since Tamerainians heal faster that humans he was left with just a arm brace. "Come along Starfire… I will have the doctor tell us of any change in his condition… you must rest" Galfore stated. Starfire nodded and walked with the rest of the Titans.
"He'll be fine" Nightwing reassured her. She looked up at him with tear filled eyes. "Batman has gotten out of worse things that this… believe me… he'll be okay" He said then Nightwing grabbed her in a tight hug. The group stopped and Changeling tried to put his arm around Raven… but realized it still had the handcuff on it.
"Um… when are you going to take this off" Changeling asked pointing to the cuffs… Raven smiled.
"It depends… maybe when you're a good little boy" She said patting him on the head. He blushed… she smiled.
"Okay then well we should go back to our rooms… you need to prepare for your departure." Galfore said. The Titans gave him a confused look.
"I thought we were staying here longer" Nightwing said. Galfore nodded.
"You were… but since Batman defeated me, you may leave any time" He announced with a huge smile. The Titans stared at Galfore a moment then at eachother.
"But what about Batman, shouldn't we wait for him to wake up" Cyborg asked. "I mean, he got us out of so many jams on this trip, it's just not right to leave him here." Galfore was about to speak when a dark voice interrupted.
"You won't have to wait long" Batman said walking out of his medical room with a slight limp and his mask off. "I'll be ready in two hours" Batman said smiling for once.
"Damn, he is good" Changeling stated, then turned to Raven. "And will you please get these damn things off me" He yelled. Raven smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Later" she said with a lustful glint in her eye.
"Ahem" Nightwing coughed. Raven and Changeling blushed. "Okay then, well let's go, I'm kinda getting homesick." Nightwing stated.
Starfire stepped beside Nightwing and grabbed his arm, " yes I am also feeling the sick for my home" She said flirting with Nightwing, he smiled and was about to kiss her when Galfore interrupted.
"You may wish to prepare now, it is getting late, and the moon will not let up the gravity enough for you to leave if you stay much longer." He said, the Titans all nodded and headed for their respective rooms.
In Nightwing and Starfire's room (they were aloud to sleep together the last night, so Cyborg is alone right now), As Starfire packed Nightwing walked up behind her and rapped his arms around her waist then said slowly "So Mrs. Grayson are you ready to head home" Starfire was surprised that he called her Mrs. Grayson, not too surprised though.
"Yes my love, I am" She said. "And are you" she questioned. Nightwing replied by kissing her neck. She giggled and turned to face him, then kissed his lips slowly. As they were getting in the heat Nightwing rubbed his hand on her thigh, then her ass. As they were getting into the heat of things, Nightwing heard someone at the door.
"I'll get it" He said. Opening the door he revealed Electro and Reese, standing there waiting for them. Reese was carrying a small hand bag, and Electro was carrying on his back and in his arms and hands all of both of their stuff. Nightwing sweat dropped at the sight. "Yes" he asked.
"We've been ready for an hour" Reese stated. Electro gave Nightwing a pleading look.
"Yeah, can you please hurry up, I can't feel my damn legs anymore." Electro complained. Nightwing smiled and Starfire walked up behind him.
"Sure, we're ready." He said. As the four Titans headed for the T Rocket they met Cyborg on the way.
"So, how long before launch" Nightwing asked. Cyborg shrugged.
"Probably about 20 minutes" He replied, "Depends on if the ship has been repaired, that meteor wasn't exactly the best thing for her, you know" He said. "She has so many damn scratches and dents it's not even funny." Nightwing and Electro laughed and the girls giggled.
(Okay, I have a baseball game in 20 minutes so I'm gonna make this quick)
As the Titans approached the ship they were greeted by the other and Galfore, who gave each and ever one of them a hug. As they boarded the ship and began to launch, Starfire began to have tears in her eyes (imaging sad, but cheerful music in the backround).
"What's wrong Star" Nightwing asked. Starfire turned to him.
"I... will miss him, and my planet, it is going to be a year and a half before I see him again... and... and... I don't know if I'll be able to stand it." She said between sobs.
"It's okay" He said taking her into his arms, then he kissed her head. "A year and a half will go by before you know it." He said comforting. "Besides, you have your friends, and me to love you" He said. Starfire looked at her fellow Titans, and they all nodded. In her heart Starfire knew that it would be okay, but something in the only pit of darkness, the one thing in her heart that could cause her to loose it, and even harm her friends, told her otherwise.
A few days passed, and not much happened, the usual basically, until everyone heard Starfire scream...
