Nineteenth Chapter: She's Back
I felt that same falling feeling as before. Only this time I knew that there would be solid ground to land on, and instead of dropping I felt like I was flying.
I opened my eyes to find myself in the Infirmary, lying on one of the beds. Raven was brushing herself off a few feet to my left, and Starfire was nowhere in sight.
"Where's Starfi-"
"You, little green dude! The idiot's up!"
I blinked and refocused my vision. Cyborg was leaning against the doorframe just as Lust had in Starfire's mind. What had he said? 'Idiot'?
"Seriously?" I heard Beast Boy yell. He scrambled in through the door and screeched to a halt in front of my bed. "Hey…"
I looked at him closely. His voice was cold and not filled with humor like usual.
"What's up with you?" I asked.
Cyborg pushed him out of the way with one hand and smiled like he knew something that I didn't. "Nothing! He's just a little agitated from earlier, but I'm sure he's glad to see you awake. Right, BB?"
Beast Boy mumbled something distantly and looked away.
"Hey," Raven said suddenly. "She's back, Robin."
"Starfire's-"
She nodded with a grin.
I leaped up from my bed and raced to Starfire's bed on the other half of the room. She didn't seem to be moving at all. I turned to Raven. "But she's-"
"Give her a minute." She answered. And then she looked at me with yet another mischievous smile. "Or maybe you should wake her up again, like you did before?"
I opened my mouth to argue when a quiet voice mumbled, "Robin?"
