CRAP! Sorry, wasn't quite finished with the last chapter! I was gonna fix it, but none of you guys seemed to care, so I didn't. Anyways, I will reply to two waves of reviews now that I have screwed up.
Reviews for chapter 3:
Linkinparkh2over: HAHAHA…not intimidated. But funny! And now you know that I did not kill our comic relief. And I talked to SC on AIM and she was busy, but I told her you are a big fan…right SC?
Coolcatjas: WTF? Spanish? Wow…well, I looked through my handy-dandy Spanish-English dictionary and this is what I came up with:
"Poor Raven. She is scared and sad!"
Again, I say: WTF? But don't get me wrong, your review was EXTREMELY funny! (As always)
Yunie/Hawkeye: OMG! The tree again! HAHAHAHA!
StarfireLover: Heh…sorry. Well, here is your update. And what the heck are the gummies for?
Redsoxs: Uh…well, if I had actually got this reply up last chapter, I wouldn't have told you, but now you know that he is alive, but not necessarily well. And thanx for the positive comments!
Ravenfairie: Well, BB is now alive, but we don't know about Starfire, do we…?
Reviews for chapter 4:
Yunie/Hawkeye: Yet again, hilarious!
Ravenfairie: Thanx. Yeah, I don't like killing off people unless it enhances the plot (which it usually doesn't). And about the Ring story…I tried to post the chapter from my computer, but it made it all one single paragraph, so I had to email it to my friend and post it from school. I had to remove it like three times 'cause I tried to fix it, but it didn't work.
TheLegendofZelda: HAHAHAHA! And I'm glad you like it Chibi! And don't eat so much sugar…
BlackDove682: Wow! I feel so special! And what do you mean, favorite demon?
Rose: Heh…can't tell you that. You'll find out. And of course it's not winding down! I just got started!
Linkinparkh2over: Eh…I'm dizzy from all those "awesomes." And as for the second part…shut up. (Kidding! I luv ya too!)
Coolcatjas: You will find out soon…
Rae and BB fan: Thanx! I've never actually taken a crack at horror until now…Anyway, here is your long-awaited update!
SORRY SORRY SORRY and sorry again! Yunie, I know you hate it when Lani or I say it so many times, but make an exception! OK, I will continue where I left off…'cause I kinda wasn't done with that either.
By the way, my friend told me about this HILARIOUS flash animation! It's a spoof of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. You should check it out! And don't worry if your computer is too slow, 'cause if my slow piece of crap of a Mac can download it, then yours can DEFINITELY do it! Here are the URLs:

http/ (second video)
Also, they have the "f" word in them, so I suggest you wait until your parents are WAY out of earshot! But watch them, they are FUNNY! NAVI RULZ! Sorry. (ARGH! Yunie, I said it again!)
Dedication: I actually did have someone in mind to dedicate this story to, but I forgot to put this up in the first chapter. This story is dedicated to…LINKINPARKH2OVER! K, I know how much you wanted me to write this, so I dedicate it to you!
"…Raven."
He softly sobbed into the sheets before hearing something that made it jump up again.
"…It's very uncomfortable to sleep on wet sheets, you know."
Beast Boy couldn't believe his ears. Was that Raven's voice? The beeping started up again. He looked up into the frowning face of the Goth and met her cold stare with that of happiness.
"RAVEN!"
"Whoa!"
Before Raven could react, Beast Boy was choking her to death in his injured-state-version of hugging. It was very awkward, because it was still painful for him to move and he had to sort of propel himself with his feet to reach her.
"Uh…"
"Yeah?"
"Can you please get off of me?"
"Oh, right!" Beast Boy attempted to slide off, but the stabbing pain returned. "OW!"
"What's wrong?"
Beast Boy looked up at her from his position on the floor. "Well, remember the shot you fired at me? It sorta still hurts…"
Raven was instantly concerned, but she tried not to show it, lest she blow something up.
"Here. You go back to your cot and I'll heal it."
"But you shouldn't be getting up."
"Well, neither should you, yet you did anyways."
Beast Boy smiled to himself. He was being a bit hypocritical. He pretended to pout. "Oh, fine!"
"Why were you out of bed in the first place?" Raven asked, dragging him by his hands to get back to his cot. (A/N: Psh! Oh, yeah, like I'm gonna make her CARRY him! Sick people…)
"Well, I was worried…"
"So?"
"So, I got up to check on you!"
"Oh, so it was his voice that I heard in my head," Raven thought. She helped him as best she could to get him back up onto it. She activated her healing powers and began to heal the bullet wound. "You didn't have to put yourself through all that just to check on me, you know," she said.
"Yeah, I know. I'm just glad you're OK."
Suddenly, Cyborg burst into the room.
"RAVEN'S MONITOR! IS SHE…O…K…?" the half-robot calmed down and his shocked face turned to a puzzled one when he saw the scene in front of him.
Raven and Beast Boy sweat-dropped. "Kinda slow, don't you think?" Raven asked sarcastically. "Had it actually been serious, and if it wasn't for Beast Boy, I would have died!"
"Sorry, but Starfire's just in much worse condition, so I had to tend to that," Cyborg replied. Then he grinned. "Robin wouldn't let me leave until I had at least made sure that she would stay alive if I left the room."
"Is she all right?" Raven asked.
Cyborg fidgeted uncomfortably. "Well, she's really badly injured. And she suffered from an excessive amount of blood loss."
Raven felt a jab. She was the cause of it.
"And you shouldn't be walking around, either! You have injuries, too, Raven!"
"And I should listen to you because…?"
"Because your injuries haven't completely healed yet. I know that when you are in a trance like that, you heal yourself, but Robin's disks can be pretty long-lasting."
Raven glared at Cyborg.
"Fine, but if your wounds open up again, don't blame me," he said, throwing up his hands in frustration. He left the room.
Beast Boy turned to Raven. "So Robin did this to you?"
"Just forget it," she said, not meeting his eyes. She continued to concentrate on healing him.
Beast Boy wouldn't stand for this. He grabbed her hand and asked her again. "Why did Robin attack you?"
Raven tried to pull her hand away, but Beast Boy had a surprisingly firm grip. "Let go," she commanded.
"No way."
"Now."
"Nope."
"Dammit, Beast Boy!"
"Fine!" He suddenly let go and began to roll off the bed like before.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm going to ask Robin."
Raven sweat-dropped. "Are you serious?"
Beast Boy landed with a thud on the floor and began to pull himself to the door. "Of course. What did you think, I was doing it for the love of pain?"
Raven knew that Beast Boy was not the type to just give up when he wanted an answer. He really was serious. She knew that it did cause him a lot of pain to move around and she felt guilty. So when he reached the door, she stopped him.
"All right! I'll tell you if you get back in bed."
"OK…" Beast Boy propelled himself to the cot. When he was settled, Raven sat down on a stool conveniently located next to the cot.
"After you—well—I mean—" Raven stammered. She felt uncomfortable talking about how she had nearly killed two titans.
"After that guy shot me…" Beast Boy offered.
Raven was surprised that he decided to put it this way, when they both knew that she was the culprit.
"Yeah, after that, I lost control again, and he made me attack Starfire. She fought him for a while, and then Robin showed up to help her. Cyborg didn't show, so I guess he was asleep. How, I don't know, but he was."
Beast Boy laughed. "Yeah?"
"Then Robin said something about Starfire fighting me while he took care of the other guy. She almost succeeded in bringing me to my senses, but that damn guy kept me well under his control. So…"
Beast Boy noticed her discomfort once again. "You don't have to say it. I know."
"Once that happened, Robin lost it. He started attacking me, and then I gained control again. I suppose that the guy left."
There was a silence. Raven did not want to go any farther with the subject, and Beast Boy seemed to know that it shouldn't be pursued.
"But…"
Beast Boy's head jerked up.
"How did you survive?"
"To tell you the truth, I have absolutely no idea," the changeling replied, grinning.
Raven raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
Beast Boy shrugged. "You know me. I'm only in Algebra II. How could I plan out to avoid a shot to the heart?"
Raven smiled to herself. He was right. She'd have to leave that alone for now.
"What's the status?" Robin asked impatiently, tapping his foot and watching Cyborg.
"She's still out cold," he answered. Robin glanced at the Tameranian lying on the cot, a breathing aid attached to her. (A/N: WHAT THE HECK ARE THOSE THINGS CALLED!)
"How long do you think she'll stay this way?"
"No one can estimate the length of a coma, Robin. You should know that," Cyborg replied.
Robin seated himself at the end of the cot and watched Starfire sadly. He felt a rush of emotions. Confusion, pain, hope…he didn't know which to believe. But the easiest to grasp at the moment was anger.
"Will she be able to go to school on Monday?" Robin asked again.
"I'm not sure. For all we know, she could be this way forever."
Those words stung the Boy Wonder. More anger and suffering washed over him, and he suddenly got up.
"I'll be back. Make sure she's taken care of," he said, storming out of the room. Cyborg watched him leave and then turned back to the more pressing matters at hand.
"There. That should do it," Raven announced.
Beast Boy sat up. "That feels much better. Thanks, Rae."
"Eh…no problem."
They both jumped when the doors opened with a bang.
"Robin!" the two titans cried.
He didn't seem to acknowledge their greeting, however, and instead marched past the cot and up to Raven.
"Do you know what condition Starfire is in because of what you did!" Robin asked, his anger level mounting.
"Yes, of course! She means just as much to the rest of us as she does to you!" Raven yelled back.
"Uh…Robin?" Beast Boy tried to get into the conversation.
"Yeah, to the others, she does. Apparently not to you," he said.
Raven felt a sharp jab. "D-don't be stupid, Robin. We're friends, you know!"
"That's right, you were!" Robin retorted. As fast as lightning, he drew out a smoke bomb and threw it into the floor. The other two titans coughed and fanned away the smoke.
"Robin! What are you doing?" Beast Boy coughed.
"AAAAAUUUUUGH!"
"Raven!"
Raven acted fast and put up a barrier before Robin's foot could make contact with her head. Robin landed on the black aura and propelled himself off of it, landing on the floor gracefully. He reached into his belt and pulled out his bowstaff. His weapon and Raven's magic equally matched each other and neither could get to the other's owner. Raven's eyes glowed white as she summoned her empty cot at Robin. He easily avoided and swung his bow staff at her, but was stopped by a pair of green hands grabbing the weapon.
"What…is…your…problem?" Beast Boy asked.
"Should I even give you an answer? She shot Starfire, and that's reason enough to assume she is an enemy!" Robin replied, pushing down on the bow staff. The changeling's knees buckled.
"Beast Boy!" Raven cried. She summoned her powers to help him, but Robin was much more forceful than the both of their strength put together.
"Heh…you know as well I do that it's not her fault," Beast Boy said, breathing heavily to keep from giving out.
"You wouldn't know. She shot you, too!"
"Yeah, but I actually saw the real enemy!"
"No need to brag about it, she's standing right behind you!"
"Son of a—!"
"Beast Boy, watch it!"
Beast Boy looked down to see Robin raise his foot and bring it forward forcefully. The toe of his metal sole made contact with the changeling's stomach, causing him to collapse, gasping for air. Robin quickly drew out three birdarangs and tossed them at Raven. She didn't see them coming and felt a stabbing pain in her right shoulder. The other two had grazed her, barely tearing her cloak, but one had been so carefully aimed that it had stuck in her skin.
As Robin approached the two, the doors opened and a bright blue light flashed, followed by a loud explosion. When the titans opened their eyes, they saw Robin unconscious and Cyborg standing in the doorway, his sonic cannon still smoking.
Beast Boy brightened. "Cy!"
"I heard a ruckus and figured from Robin's attitude back there that he came to take his anger out on you two," Cyborg said, grinning at them.
"Raven, are you OK?" Beast Boy asked, but his expression turned from surprise to concern when he saw the birdarang in her shoulder.
Raven noticed this change of feeling. "It's fine. It's not that deep," she said quickly, pulling out the weapon. Immediately, blood started to gush from the wound.
"We should get that bandaged up right now!" Cyborg said, running around frantically to find bandages. Meanwhile, Beast Boy let her sit on his cot.
"A-ha! OK…" Cyborg began to bandage up Raven's injury while Beast Boy watched curiously. Cyborg noticed him staring at how he was wrapping Raven's shoulder. "Uh…can I help you?"
"Oh, don't mind me. I just want to know how in case you aren't here next time," Beast Boy said, grinning nervously.
"All right. Finished," Cyborg announced, cutting the bandage and taping it down. Then he picked up Robin's limp form and left the room.
"We seem to be getting injured quite a lot, huh?" Beast Boy joked, but Raven didn't even smile this time. He could see that she was still hurt by Robin's last comment. He put a hand on her shoulder (her good one). "It's OK, Rae. We know it's not your fault."
"Thanks for the reassurance, but it's plain as day that no one believes me," she replied.
"Well, I believe you."
"Yeah, but you only say that because you don't want to hurt my feelings." Raven wanted to cry again, but Beast Boy pulled her into a hug.
"It's OK. It won't happen again."
But, oddly enough, Raven felt that he was wrong.
Eh…looks over everything she just wrote…OMG. I did not just write that. I did not write that…OK, fine, I did. Just be happy I didn't go any farther! …Like the icon…shivers…UGH. Anyway, review please. Wow, six pages, but most was the reviews screw up. Oh, well, it's still long! Watch those videos if you like LOZ, btw! Bye!
