CHAPTER 2 - HEAL A BROKEN ANGEL'S WINGS

"RAVEN!"

Robin dropped the plate and it smashed. He ran into her room. Raven was lying on the floor in a pool on blood. He dropped down to his knees beside her lifeless body. He gasped as he saw loads of scratches on her arm and white foam coming out of her mouth.

"Raven! Wake up Raven!" he shouted at her, shaking her hoping she would wake up like when she fell asleep before. But he knew his was more serious.

Robin felt tears burn his eyes as he held them back, feeling for a pulse, some sign that she was alive. He felt a faint pulse and felt light headed with relief. He could see she was breathing because her flat stomach was rising and falling unevenly and to a minimum.

"Umm Cyborg. Those tofu waffles were delicious dude!" Beast Boy laughed patting his stomach.

"Man, nothing made of tofu can be delicious!" Cyborg said disgusted.

Suddenly. Cyborg's arm beeped and Robin's panicking face appeared on the screen. "TITANS! IT'S RAVEN! COME HERE NOW!"

Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire all gasped and ran (and flew) as fast as could to Raven's room. They were all afraid of what they were going to see.

"Raven! Wake up!" they heard Robin shout emotionally from down the hall. They all ran in.

"Oh my God!" Beast Boy shouted backing away, afraid.

"What happened?" Cyborg said running up to Raven and feeling for a pulse.

"She's… alive… but… she… needs… help!" Robin said breathlessly.

"Hey man. Take it easy. I need your help." Cyborg said seriously, trying to calm Robin down. Cyborg stared at the foam, the cuts, the blood.

"Oh man Rae. What have you done?"

Starfire came in and gasped as she saw Raven.

"Star, you and Robin go and set up the infirmary! I'll take Rae!" Cyborg ordered now taking command. Robin and Starfire ran out of the room. Cyborg put one arm under Raven's arms and one under her legs as he supported her lifeless body and ran out of the room to the infirmary. When he arrived there, Starfire and Robin had quickly prepared the bed. Cyborg put Raven down on the bed and hooked her up to a heart monitor, blood pressure machine, nerve impulse tracker and an oxygen mask.

"Come on Rae!" Cyborg said under his breath as he watched the monitors.

Robin grabbed a chair and sat next to Raven, holding her hand. "Cyborg? Is she gonna be okay?" Robin asked squeezing her hand.

"I hope so man. She took an overdose judging by the symptoms she's showing. And…" Cyborg gulped, "she's self harming. Look at the cuts. I'll have to get them cleaned and stitched."

Robin couldn't get this all into his head. Raven… suicidal. She was a dark and very secretive girl but over the years she'd known the Titans she'd opened up a lot more.

"What did she take?" Robin said. His tears had disappeared and he no longer felt scared. He knew he had to be serious and strong. Cyborg and Raven needed his help.

"I dunno but whatever it was it was a huge amount. I'm gonna have to pump her stomach. It's the only way to save her life. I think you should leave." Cyborg replied to Robin and Starfire, who was standing by the door in complete silence. Robin stood up and took one last look at Raven before he left. She had an oxygen mask covering her face. She was pale. She had loads of wires stuck to her blood soaked leotard. She had four giant scratches up her arm, all open and recent.

"Don't worry man. She ain't getting away from us that easily." Cyborg smiled putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. He guided him out of room where Starfire was standing outside.

"Oh Robin! Why is Raven attacking Raven?" she sobbed.

"I don't know why Star. I don't know why." he tried to smile to comfort Starfire. "But Rae's a fighter and she'll get through this. It's gonna take time, but she will."

Starfire looked around the corridor. "Where is Beast Boy?"

Beast Boy was sitting on the floor in Raven's room, looking at the drops of blood that were barely visible on the black carpet. He went to sit on her bed, and he sat on something. Under the duvet was a medicine bottle.

"Aspirin. Thirty per bottle. Take three a day maximum. Serious side effects. Hazardous to health." He put the bottle in his pocket and he got up to show it to the others. But as he did, he caught sight of four purple envelopes on the beside table. He looked closer and they had their names written on them. Beast Boy's was in the middle of the pile. He shook as he opened it and prepared to read it.

'Beast Boy…'
