Thanks to the two people who took the time to review!

Steve-Racer- I never said that Adonis was alive, now did I? (Smirks evilly) Then again, I didn't say he was dead, either.

Outthere101- Thanks for liking the story! And by the way, it takes me so long to update cuz I have bad cases of writers block right now and whenever I have an idea, my dad's hogging the computer with his blasted school work. I hate Penn College. They give fathers too much homework.

Raven's POV

My eyes flickered open to the soft hum of a rumbling heater, waking me up from my brief slumber. Then, I felt something. Something weird. Whipping up in bed, I realized that I wasn't at home or even in a friend's house- I was in the hospital. "What…what happened. Why am I in here?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. Fingering lightly at the cotton-white sheets on my bed, I looked around the room. It was then I noticed Gar's green, slumped figure in the back of the room. He was obviously sleeping, judging from the loud snores emitting from his mouth.

I tried to move, but…there were wires attached to my hands and face, and one on my stomach, along with a breathing mask. It was a wonder that the mask didn't come off of my face after I sat up. Moments later, the door to the room opened, and in walked two people. One had ruby red hair and striking green eyes, but the other had jet black hair and cool blue eyes. "Raven?" the red-haired person asked in a high voice. Suddenly, I came to my senses. "St-Starfire?" I asked weakly, shielding my eyes from the immense brightness that had suddenly coated the room. I leaned back on the bed and propped myself up with my elbow for support. "Raven! You remember!" the woman said, who was really Starfire. "Oh, good. And let me guess…Robin," I said. The black haired man nodded. "Yup. Well, actually, it's Dick now, but that's what Kori always calls me." "Star's human name, right?" I asked. They both nodded. Then, I noticed the glimmering ring on Kori's finger. "Are you guys getting-?" "YES!" Kori shouted happily. "I am elated that Dick has asked for my hand in marriage. I believe the wedding will be…two months from now."

I smiled at the happy couple and looked over to Gar, who was still in a deep sleep. "Yeesh, how long can one guy sleep?" I asked. Dick frowned. "He's done more than you know, Raven. After that little thing with Adonis, he was doing literally everything to take care of you."

Adonis. "Did muscle man ever survive? I saw the bit with Gar turning in a rhino, but that's about it," I said. Kori cocked her head. "He's in…let me think…intensive care over at the jail's clinic. They don't expect him to live, really, but at this point, anything's possible." I sighed. Well, he deserved it. When's a villain always a villain.

"Speaking of which," said Dick. "Did he do anything to you?" I looked up. "Come again?" "After the titans were banned, we found that Adonis was a registered rapist, so we wanted to make sure nothing happened." I shook my head. "No, not that I know of." Dick nodded. "Okay, but as you've noticed, we've already taken some tests." He gestured to the wires attached to my face, hands, and stomach. I poked at my breathing mask. "What's this for?" I asked. "You couldn't breathe for a couple hours, so we had to give you some help. You can take it off now, if you want," said Kori (I wonder if it's hard to talk with those things on your face the whole time). A couple seconds later, Gar woke up, and we all heard him. "TAKE THE TOFU I'M INNOCENT!" he shouted, his eyes wide and in a daze. "GAR!" I shouted. Kori walked over to the green actor and slapped him on the back of the head. "What? Huh? Okay, I'm awake. Hiya, Raven! You feeling alright?" he asked, as if he hadn't been screaming about tofu thirty seconds before. "I'm feeling better, actually. So, I hear you went to great lengths to help little old me," I said. Gar shifted his eyes. "Yeeeah," he murmured. Again, the room's door opened, but this time, three people walked in. "Hey Gar, wuzzup?" said an Afro-American voice. "Vic!" shouted Gar. "Dude, you made it!" 'Vic' nodded. "Hey, when I heard that one of my teammates was in the hospital, I had to stop by," he said. "Cyborg?" I asked, blinking. "Hey, Raven!" he said. The woman next to him leaned down and picked up the child next to her feet. "Hello, Raven," she said softly, with a smile. "You feeling better?" I nodded. "Yes, I am. Jinx, right?" "Call me Jen," she said. "Oh, and this is Maggie." The little girl in her arms buried her head into her mother's shoulder. She had pink cat-like eyes and pale skin, and brown curly hair that was pulled up into two pony-tails at the top of her head (kin of like Bumblebee's hair style). Jinx hadn't changed much, except that her hair was straight and wavy instead of high above her ears. Cyborg, or Vic, had had surgery to cover up his metallic parts.

"Soooo…I take it you betrayed Brother Blood?" I asked Jen (Jinx). She smirked. "Yep, and he still has no idea that I tricked him. Head injuries do a number on a guy like him." "Head injuries?" I asked. "Trust me," said Vic. "You do not want to know." "I wasn't going to ask," I responded, sinking deep into my covers.

"Um, excuse my interruption," said a voice. "But I'm afraid you'll have to leave. I have to run some tests on Miss Roth again." It was a lady doctor's voice. I looked up and saw a skinny woman enter the room. She had wavy brown hair that reached her shoulders and was tied up into a ponytail. Her navy blue eyes were soft and dark, gazing upon each of the people present in the room. "Uh, you have to run more tests?" asked Gar, standing up and rubbing his eyes. The lady doctor nodded and looked towards the door as everyone filed out. Gar looked back at me with a flicker of concern in his eyes, lingering in the room for a moment or two.

"Miss Roth," the doctor began. "I see you are recovering quite nicely. I trust that you are aware of what happened to yourself?" I nodded, recalling the tale. "Good. Now, uh, you are fine, on the outside, aside from some cuts that we've bandaged up, but it's this inside of you that we're worried about," said Dr. Samuels (Well, it said so on the name tag). I thought for a moment. "You mean because Adonis was a…" "Yes." "Honestly, nothing happened to me that I wasn't aware of," I said truthfully. "I realize that," Dr. Samuels murmured. "But this has happened before, so we'll have to take a scan, just to be safe." With that, she connected the end of the wire on my stomach with this machine, which scanned the inside of me. I squeezed my eyes shut, afraid of what the outcome would be. After five minutes, Dr. Samuels stopped the machine. "You can open your eyes now," she told me, and I did. "Look at the screen."

I looked at the screen, and there was nothing there. "So…I'm okay?" I asked. The lady doctor nodded. "Yep, you're fine."

"You hear that? She's okay!" whispered a strangely loud voice. Dr. Samuels walked over to the door and opened it, six people falling into the room as a result. "WHAT!" Vic shouted. "Gar made me do it. He's crazy, I tell ya. He's so obsessed with knowing that Raven's okay that he forced me to use my robot half to listen to your conversation so please to don't hurt me!"

We all turned to face Gar. "Heh, well uh…see, I was kind of worried, and you know with the animal instincts and all…" he trailed off. I stared at him for a while. I didn't glare of scowl like I usually would, but just stared.

Dr. Samuels looked at her watch and widened her eyes. "Oh my. I'm ten minutes late to take care of another patient. Good bye and good luck, Miss Roth," she said, rushing out of the room. Vic watched the doctor run off and smirked. "And we're just gonna leave you two alone now," he said, and pushed everyone else out of the room, leaving Gar and me. Alone.

"Soooo…how're ya feelin?'" Gar asked. "Fine, thank you," I responded, crossing my legs on my bed. We were silent for a while, and then I spoke up. "What was that for?" Gar looked at me strangely. "What was what for?" he asked. "You wanting to know if I was okay," I said. "Oh yeah. That." More silence.

"I'm waiting," I said, standing up and crossing my arms. "Fine," Gar said, walking up to me. Before I knew it, he had his arms around me and placed his lips firmly on mine. At first, I was tense, but then I melted like butter. After a while, he pulled away. "I did that because I couldn't see you hurt." He tightened his grip on my shoulders. "I did that because I needed to know if you'd be okay." He smoothed a strand of violet hair away from my forehead. "I did that because I love you."

I gasped in surprise and flung my arms around his shoulders, kissing lightly on the lips, tears rolling down my cheeks. I was glad that nothing was blowing up, or someone would run into the room and ruin our moment for sure. And that moment was bliss.

Aw, how cute. Fluff galore! I love it all! Please review and be nice!
