Warning: Lots of cursing.

Her arm was connected to an IV needle, a pack of blood next to her on a stand. Her eyes were shut tightly, covering her amethyst eyes. She was shivering, so very unlike her, yet there it was, right in front of them. Her breathing was shallow, and her right arm and left ankle were in casts, for they were broken.

Next to her, on a metal chair, was Robin. His eyes were droopy; bags were beneath his eyes, yet he refused to sleep until the resident sorceress woke up. Of course, Cyborg tried telling him that it would not matter; she wouldn't wake up, not now. It wasn't safe for a future psycho to be deprived of necessary sleep.

But he did not listen.

Starfire and Beast Boy were better off though, seeing as they only fainted. But their innocent minds were now corrupt with the sight of Raven's trashed body. Cyborg had to give Starfire a tranquilizer, seeing as she was shaking and was better off asleep.

Cyborg had tried to give the same tranquilizer for him as well, but Robin had only moved quickly, avoiding the shot. Robin's desire to meet Raven's lovely amethyst eyes was great indeed.

"Hn…" she shivered; Robin immediately woke up, looking the purple-haired girl. But she only shivered once more, and fell into a nightmarish sleep.

'What am I to do?' He thought. He brain was going to eventually stop working.

Robin looked at her with squinting eyes. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to sleep… just for a minute. Sleep was overcoming his senses… he was so tired… Raven could wait, couldn't she? …

Robin woke up with a jolt. What was he thinking? He couldn't fall asleep now! Raven was in too much danger…

'Just like you…'

Robin ruffled his hair. Why the damn hell did Slade have to exist? Why couldn't he just rot in a fuckin' hole, and die like the piece of fuckin' shit he was?

He took a deep breath in. This was too painful. First he found out Raven was going to turned insane, he believed Slade, of all people, and now he was turning insane too. Although Robin did not know how he was going to turn insane, whether it was from Slade's poison, or Slade himself.

"Robin…" a voice whispered. Robin looked up to Raven, only to find it wasn't her.

It was Starfire.

Her eyes were half-open, and her eyes were a bit glossy.

She looked at him with curious eyes. "I have a question I have been pondering over some time." She whispered once more. She was still tired from the drug.

"Go ahead Star." He said quietly, and even smiling a little at her innocent face.

"I wish to know… do you love Friend Raven?" Robin looked up at her, eyes wide and any sleep there had disappeared.

"Please answer."

Robin gulped. "Why do you want to know?" he asked shakily.

"Because I believe it so. And I am sure she loves you as well." Star replied softly, using her elbows to raise herself into a sitting position, while Robin helped her.

Robin though, was a bit confused. "Starfire… what made you think that… she loved me too?" his mind was racing with thoughts.

Starfire shrugged. "The way she looks at you, with these eyes. And she depends on you more than she does with us. Do you love her?"

Robin looked at her, unable to lie straight to her face.

He could only whisper his answer.

"Yes."
