Cars were invented to have a faster way of fleeing from Chuck Norris. Not to be outdone, Chuck Norris invented the car accident. Now thats a funny one.
Chapter 3: "I'm sorry"
Kevin and Raven were talking to each other, trying to enjoy the time they had alone. Kevin would talk to Raven about his past and try and remember all the good times, few as they were. Raven would talk to him about when she first became a Titan, and how they all became friends.
"The funny thing is I never thought that a bucket of water was actually going to stay on the door, but man when Jake opened that door he got compleatly drenched. Me and Alex laughed for like two straight hours." Kevin said chuckling a little.
"The way you talk about him he sounds like he was a great guy." Raven said. They walked for a little while longer before Raven asked a question. "Hey Kevin how much farther is this bookstore?" Raven wondered.
"Aww common just enjoy the outdoors, we'll get there soon. Just take a deep breath and smell that air." Kevin then took a deep breath. "And your with me. Besides all I really see you do is read or meditate. You need to be more spontanious." Kevin said.
"I'm not really into being spontanious." Raven said in her monotone.
"Aww common it's easy watch." Kevin then took a few steps ahead of her. "I LOVE THIS GIRL!" Kevin yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Kevin stop." Raven said embarresed with a smile on her face.
"Well then I guess this will have to do." Kevin then took a necklace out of his pocket and put it around her neck. It was a necklace of a black raven. The boarder was surrounded with small diamonds and the eye of the raven was a diamond as well. It was attached to a silver chain. Raven was stunned when she looked at it.
"When did you..." Raven said.
"I thought you would like it." Kevin said with a smile on his face.
"How did you afford this?" Raven asked still stunned.
"I made it. The diamonds are real and the raven is made of solid onyx. The chain is silver and I just got that from my necklace." Kevin said.
"How did you make the diamonds?" Raven still stunned.
"A big lump of coal and a lot of time and energy. The onyx wasn't that hard to get." Kevin said.
"What about the chain, didn't your mom give you that necklace?" Raven asked.
"Yeah, but a chain doesn't matter. It's the symbolism, and besides I don't mind using a regular chain." Kevin said to her. Raven then gave Kevin a giant hug and they kissed for a while before letting each other go.
"Thank you, it's beautiful." Raven said when they parted.
"Not as beautiful as you. Wow that sounded cheesy." Kevin said.
"A little bit." Raven said. They walked a the rest of the way holding each others hand a smile on Ravens face the entire way. Kevin then tripped over a pothole. He then looked around as a stunned expression came across his face. "What is it?" Raven asked.
"This is where...it happened." Kevin said as he hung his head realizing where he was.
"Oh." Raven said. Kevin let out a sigh as they continued to walk. A few of the craters that Alex caused with his weapons were still around. They walked a little farther ahead as Kevin then noticed someone familiar. He then grabbed Raven as he ran into a small alleyway. "What is it?" Raven said when they stopped.
"It's Jinx." Kevin said pointing at Jinx a little farther up the road. She was standing next to what looked like flowers and other items on the side of the road.
"What is Jinx doing here?" Raven wondered as she saw Jinx in the distance.
"I don't know, but I think she's crying." Kevin said as he looked at Jinx, as she was indeed crying. She then placed a picture next to all the flowers. Jinx then started to walk away. Raven and Kevin waited for a second before walking to where Jinx was. When they walked up to where Jinx had left from they saw that it was a small memorial to Alex. They were pictures, letters, and flowers everywhere. Kevin knelt down and saw the thing that Jinx left, it was a picture of Jinx and Alex with Jinx hugging him from behind. They were both smiling, and when Kevin looked at the little note on the bottom he let out a depressed sigh. The note said 'I will love you, always.' "Great and when I thought I couldn't feel any worse." Kevin said as he stood up.
"What?" Raven asked.
"Well from the looks of it, it looks like Alex and Jinx were in love. And I ruined that for them." Kevin said as he turned around. "I don't deserve to be here right now." Kevin said as he started to walk away, Raven catching up.
"You shouldn't say that." Raven told him.
"Why, it's true. I'm the one who killed him." Kevin said.
"You have to stop saying that or you'll never get over this. Your going to have to move on eventually." Raven said trying to encourage him.
"But it was..." But before Kevin could finish Raven cut him off.
"No, it's because of your anger that it's not your fault." Raven said making Kevin look at her. "In your head you know you would never truly hurt Alex. Remember the time we fought the HIVE members at the mall, you couldn't even hit Alex at first." Raven said.
"You saw that huh." Keivn said.
"Yes, and as long as you know you would have never hurt him, it wasn't your fault. You could never hurt someone you cared about." Raven said.
"Im sorry, your right. I could never hurt Alex intentionally, and I could never hurt any of my friends. But because of this damn anger I never know whats going to happen. I hate my brother for this, I just hope it never happens again." Kevin then pulled Raven into a hug. "Thanks. Man I really don't deserve someone like you." Kevin said.
"Yes you do." Raven said quietly. "So, where's that book store?" Raven said looking around.
"Follow me." Kevin said grabbing her hand and guiding her the rest of the way.
Kevin and Raven had arrived at the bookstore not far after leaving from Alex's small memorial. The bookstore was fairly large and had a small cafe in the corner near the entrance. Kevin and Raven had entered and looked around to see if there were any good books around. Kevin grabbed three and Raven a whole lot more, as they sat at a table. Kevin went up to the small diner area and got himself and Raven some tea as they relaxed and read there books. Kevin had managed to get his hands on the book his master told him about and was very into the book. He also got a book on the sciences of energy, and a book by Lovecraft just for some light reading. Raven had got many books on magic and history and was into reading them as well. On occasion Kevin would look over at Raven and smile. Raven had seen this a few times before saing something.
"What?" Raven asked with a smile on her face.
"You just look so cute when your reading." Kevin said returning her smile.
"Flattery will get you nowhere." Raven said.
"It got me this far." Kevin said with another smile. Kevin had taken his pocket watch out and looked at the time. "Whoa already." Kevin said.
"What?" Raven had wondered what he was so excited about.
"Well looks like we lost track of time. It's been about eleven hours since we left the hospital. So I'm pretty sure my arm and leg are finished." Kevin said standing up and stretching. "So you ready?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah sure." Raven said standing up. They just realized something. "How are we gonna take all these books back with us?" Raven wondered seeing as she had a good five or six books alone.
"Just put them in my backpack I'll carry em." Kevin said opening his bag they managed to fit all the books in the bag as they left the bookstore and headed back towards the hospitol. It only took them about twenty minuets to get back as Kevin headed up to the front desk. "I'm here to see Dr.Goldstein." Kevin said.
"Yes he's been expecting you. He is in the same room as before." The lady behind the desk told them as they headed for the room where Dr.Goldstein was waiting.
"What's up Doc." Kevin said.
"Ah good your here. Well your arm and leg are finished and we can attach them whenever your ready." Dr.Goldstein said placing the arm and leg onto the bed.
"Alright lets do this then." Kevin said taking off his shirt and sitting on top of the bed. The Doctor then took a strange looking instrument that looked a ratchet mixed with an allen wrench. He placed this item inside the hollow of Kevins shoulder socket and gave it a twist as compressed air escaped from the inside. Kevin then removed his pants removing his left leg cringing from the slight pain. Dr.Goldstein then took the strange wrench thing and placed it inside Kevin's leg twisting it. The doctor then took the leg and arm as then put them on locking them into place.
"Didn't that hurt?" Raven asked seeing as Kevin didn't yell in pain as he usually does when he puts them back on.
"Oh you see when I took this and twisted it on the inside his sockets it turns off the receptors inside the arm and leg. Because you see when you make a new arm and leg you also have to configure them to the persons size, stature, and weight. So with the receptors off he didn't feel anything. Of course when we turn them on it's gonna hurt like a bitch." The doctor said with a smile on his face. "Also I'm going to need your help. You see it's better if we turn on the arm and leg on at the same time, and I couldn't get anyone who was available to help me so I need you to turn on his arm." Dr.Goldstein said as he got another one of the odd wrench's and held it out for Raven.
"But I don't know anything about this stuff." Raven said.
"It's alright I'll show you what to do." Dr.Goldstein said.
"Please Raven." Kevin said. Raven then took the tool from the doctor.
"Okay show me what to do." Raven said. The doctor then showed her on the arm where to place the tool.
"Alrihgt we have to do this at the same time." Dr.Goldstein and Raven then got ready. "You ready Kevin?" Dr.Goldstein asked. Kevin responded with a simple nod getting ready for the immense amount of pain that was about to surge through his system. "Okay, one...two...three." The doctor said as he and Raven activated the arm and leg at the same time. Kevin screamed in pain as it felt like someone just broke his bones three times. He started to breath heavily to try and work the pain. "Okay Kevin I know your hurt but you have to move your arm and leg to see if they are working." Dr.Goldstein said.
"Okay." Kevin said weakly as he lifted his arm up and started to move it as the doctor instructed him. He lifted his arm flexed it a couple of times, clenched the fist open and close, twisted the wrist, and closed each finger individualy. He then lifted his leg bent the knee, twisted the ankle, and bent his toes.
"Well everything seems to be working fine, you just rest we have to test out your arm and leg fully in the morning. So your gonna need your rest." Dr.Goldstein said as he left the room. Raven sat next to Kevin and held his hand.
"What does it feel like?" Raven wondered.
"Like I just got stabbed repededly in the arm and leg." Kevin laughed a little bit while saying this. "But I'll be better after a little rest." Kevin said as he groaned a little bit to adjust how he was laying down.
It had gotten very late in the hospital and Raven and Kevin had fallen asleep. Raven was on the couch inside the room and Kevin was lying on the bed, but Kevin had slowly started to wake up with hunger pains. He slowly started to get up as he was still a good bit sore from the reattachment process. He got up from his bed and put on his cloths and walked over to Raven who was soundly asleep on the couch. He leaned in and gave her a small kiss on the forehead as she then had a smile appear on her face.
"I'm gonna go get somthin to eat. I'll be back." Kevin whispered to the sleeping Raven. He then slowly made his way out of the room and closed the door behind his trying not to wake up Raven. Kevin made his way down the hall of the hospital trying to find a vending machine. He continued to walk through the halls just thinking to himself about everything that has happened to him. Joining the Titans, nearly dieing when he tried that attack against Trigon, falling in love with Raven, accidently killing his best friend, and Slade stealing his powers. Everything had been strange and confussing, other times joyful, and at worst time sadness and anger.
"Hey it's you." A small voice said behind him. Kevin turned around to see the same kid who's truck he fixed.
"Oh hey it's you. What are you doing up this late?" Kevin asked the kid.
"I could ask you the same question." The kid then looked at his arm. "Whoa that's cool." The kid sayed amazed at the metal arm.
"Yeah well glad you think so. So why are you still awake?" Kevin asked.
"I'm just walkin around thinkin." The kid answered.
"Same here. Why are you still here anyway, I saw you here at like 9 am." Kevin wondered.
"Oh I came in for some test. I have cancer, so I gotta come here a lot." The kid answered.
"Cancer, that sucks man. How did you get it?" Kevin asked.
"Well my dad used to smoke a lot and well I guess the second hand smoke thing was true. But my dad quite smoking and now my parents are trying to get me as much help as possible." The kid telling his sad story.
"Well at least your family still loves you. My mom passed away after the accident that gave me these, and I can't even remember who my dad is. Plus I can't stand my brother's." Kevin explaining his past.
"So how did you fix my truck today?" The kid amazed at what he did.
"Well you if got some time to kill follow me." Kevin sayed waving his hand starting to walk to look for something to eat. "Well to explain as simply as I can. Everything in the world has a form of energy. Your body, rocks, metal, everything. And what I can do is I can manipulate the energy in object and change what they are. So what I did is I canged the energy in your truck to melt down and reasemble the parts together." Kevin explained his powers as best he could to the kid.
"That's pretty cool." The small kid responded.
"It comes in handy." Kevin turning another corner. "But with this I can also manipulate the energy in my body to help me fly." Kevin then floated in the air.
"Woah." The kid was amazed at this as well. "What else can you do?" The kid asked.
"Well do you know where a vending machine is?" Kevin asked.
"Well we need to turn left here go then we go past three double doors tak another left go past one pair of door, go right and it's straight ahead. But what does that have to do with your powers?" The kid explaining the directions.
"Well hop on my back and I'll show you. Oh and make sure you hold on tight." Kevin said kneeling down and lifting him up. "Ready?" Kevin asked as the child nodded. Kevin then moved at a very fast speed manipulating his energy to make him faster. The kid was laughing the entire time as they made it there in ten seconds flat. Kevin let the kid down he had to adjust himself from standing still for a second.
"That was wicked." The kid responded finaly finding his balance.
"Now watch this." Kevin said as he lifted the vending machine off of the ground. "I can also make myself stronger." Kevin said putting the vending machine down. "So you want somethin?" Kevin asked pointing at the machine.
"Sure." The kid answered. Kevin put in some change he had and got a bunch of chips and candy bars. They ate these while they walked back through the halls. "Hey are you like a superhero or somthin?" The kid asked.
"Yeh, but I don't really wanna talk about that stuff right now. I was actually gonna go visit a friend soon, but I wanna ask you somethin. How would you like me to get rid of your cancer?" Kevin asked looking over at him.
"I would have to ask how are you planning on doing that?" The kid answered.
"Well like I said before I can control the energy in the body, so what I can do is use that to actually kill all of the cancer cells within your body. I used to have to heal myself all the time when I traveled around. I also learned how to heal others with this. It made me feel a lot better about myself. So what do ya say?" Kevin asked.
"Are you kidding, of course. Besides my family would really like me to get better, and I don't want them to worry about me anymore." The kid responded.
"Okay let's do this then. So where's your room at I'll heal ya there." Kevin said.
"Follow me." The kid said as he showed Kevin where he was staying at the hospital. It looked just like all the other rooms in the hospital.
"Alright just hop on the bed and I need to know what lung has the cancer in it so I know which lung to heal." Kevin said.
"It's the right one." The kid said as he sat up on the bed.
"Okay then, time to kill some cancer." Kevin said as he put his hands together. "And don't worry I've done this before." Kevin said before he placed his hands on the front and the back of where the lung was. The were flashs of light as Kevin started to heal the kid. It took Kevin some time to finish this as cancer is a bit more difficult to heal then a broken bone. Kevin finaly finished he dropped to one knee a little drained from the amount of energy he had to use. He wiped the blood that came out of his nose which was a good bit.
"Are you okay?" The kid asked.
"Yeah I'm okay, it just takes a lot of energy to do something like that." Kevin said as he stood up grabbing a couple of tissues form a box wiping up some more blood. "Well you should be alright now. Everything should be healed, and you should be ready to do whatever in no time. But one thing keep this between us, I don't anyone to know. Okay?" Kevin asked.
"Sure no problem." The kid answred.
"Thanks, well I have some things I need to do, so I'll see ya around kid." Kevin said walking out of the room. He made his way down the hall and out of the hospital as he took to the air. He flew to the last place he wanted to be, but he had to go there and leave his last respects. He landed in the street and walked up to Alex's memorial bending down with his knees. "Alex I never meant this to happen. I never wanted to hurt you. Why did you have to do this. I feel like this is all my fault and I could've prvented this." Kevin let out a sigh. "I can't stop thinking of what happened. Everytime I try to think of something else my mind drifts back to here. I am so sorry for what I did, I just hope your in a better place and can one day forgive me for what I did." Kevin then pointed his finger to the ground below the memorial. He then shot a laser from his finger carving "I'm sorry" into the street. "Iknow that might not be much, but I really mean this." Kevin then stood up.
"I figured you come back here." A voice came from the alleyway. Kevin twisted around because he knew that voice.
"What the hell are you doing here Jake?" Kevin said sternly.
"Well I figured you were gonna come here sooner or later and try to "apoligize" for what happened." Jake said walking towards Kevin accenting the apoligize by making quotes with his finger's.
"It wasn't my fault." Kevin said.
"Keep telling yourself that killer." Jake said still having the same smirk on his face.
"I never wanted to kill him." Kevin yelled.
"Oh I believe you." Jake said sarcasticly. There was a small silence between them as Kevin turned back around to the memorial. "You know I heared that you beat him so bad they didn't have anything to bury." At this Kevin moved a super speed throwing a punch towards Jake's face but stopping inches away. Jake's expression never changed.
"You know, If you weren't my brother, you would be on the ground." Kevin said as he stood up.
"Whatever man. Just come talk to me when you wanna man up to what you did." Jake then turned around and started to walk off, dissapering in the dark alley. Kevin clenched his metal hand. He looked back at the memorial before he felw back to the hospital. When he made it back the sun was starting to come back up. He made his way quietly back into his room as he sat on the bed. Raven started to stir from her slumber as she saw Kevin.
"Morning." Raven said as she stretched. "What are you doing already up?" Raven asked.
"I got hungry so I got somthing to eat. I was only gone for maybe a minuet." Kevin said.
"Arm." Raven said noticing that Kevin was scratching his metal arm which meant he wasn't telling the whole truth. "Common you know you can talk to me." Raven said getting up sitting next to Kevin.
"Well I went to go visit Alex's memorial to pay my last respects, and my brother Jake was there. I just wanted to say I was sorry to Alex, and my brother was just trying to make me angry again." Kevin said.
"Well you don't have to worry as long as I'm here you can always talk to me about these things." Raven said leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Thanks." Kevin said leaning his head on her's.
Well finaly there's my next chapter. Sorry for the wait, but sadly I don't have any reviews. But hopefully that will change, I hope anyway.
