Jubilee Hall

Disclaimer: I don't own any of them.
Garfield Logan ran out of his classroom, with Professor Light yelling at him to come back.
"Please be ok, please be ok." He whispered skidding to a halt as he stopped in front of the infirmary. He pushed the doors open and he shut his eyes in pain. It was only a glimpse but it was enough. Terra was in critical condition with a breathing mask on her. She had bruises on her arms and legs. There was gauze pad on her arm. The blood was heavily flowing through, looking as if something went through it.
"N-no…" He muttered as he walked towards the bed. As his fingers connected with her hand, she jerked prying her eye lids open by shear will.
'Gar?' She mouthed.
"It's ok. I'm here, just hang in there." Gar said pulling up a chair.
"T-they might have to amputate my arm…I'm scared." Terra whispered.
"You're arm's not going to come off." He replied as the doors once again opened, Kory and Raven ran towards the bed.
"Gar. I need to speak to Terra alone." Raven said.
"But I-"
"NOW" Raven said sternly as Gar reluctantly walked out with Kory.
"Slade?" Raven asked.
"Yes" Terra replied soon breaking into coughing fits.
"You should be in class now." The nurse said walking in.
"But she's my roommate-"
"TO CLASS" the nurse yelled.
"I'll see you soon." Raven said in a monotone before exiting the room. Kory and Gar were at the door.
"We'll visit later, after class." Raven said as they reluctantly went back to their separate classes.
Raven glanced at her watch. Five minutes to six, she walked over to the infirmary.
"How're you holding up?" Raven asked.
"I'm ok. Just hurts a lot." Terra replied.
"It's about a few minutes till six." Raven said.
"Please make sure I don't do anything stupid." Terra said.
"I will." Raven replied as Terra started shaking. She placed both hands on her head as the heart monitor was beeping rapidly. Just then Gar and Kory busted into the room.
"We must help her." Kory said as she saw the girl clutching her head as if it was about to split apart.
"No. Wait." Raven said stopping her. The girl on the bed opened her eyes again and set her hands to the side as if nothing happened.
"How's it going witch?" She said with a smirk.
"Friend Terra it is not nice to make fun of others-"
"This isn't kindergarten Anders, give it a rest." The blonde snapped at her.
"Kory, this is Tara." Raven said, introducing her as if this was some new person.
"I am well aware that Terra-"
"This is Terra's split personality-"
"What are you talking about? I still came first." Tara said. Raven grabbed a pen and paper and wrote down two names, Tara and underneath it Terra.
"The trauma of her little incident caused a side effect. 'Terra' was another personality created after her accident. I'm sure you're well aware that Slade beat you to a bloody pulp?" Raven asked her.
"Hell yeah" Tara replied.
"You have the information?" Raven asked as Tara grabbed a manila envelope from under her pillow.
"Merry Christmas bitch. Open it in the shower." Tara said.
"You do know its July right?" BB stated.
"You do realize I don't care." Tara said.
"You offered Friend Raven a bar of soap? Oh this gift exchange of friendship reminds me blorthog!" Kory yelled giddily clasping her hands.
"…Where did she say she was from again?" Tara asked.
"Tamaran?" Kory said.
Tara looked at the camera then back at Gar. He got the message and walked over to disconnect it.
"All clear" He said.
"Okay…could use a little help here." Tara said as Raven moved her hand above her bleeding arm, the red stain stopped expanding, as a matter of fact the wound look as if it was never there at all when she took the gauze pad off.
"Don't make me say it." Tara said.
"You're welcome." Raven replied.
"Was she not- How did you-"
"Kory, girls locker room, now…" Raven said before turning to walk out the room, Kory followed her, head still with so many questions.
"You still want to hang out later?" Gar asked taking a seat by her bedside.
"I have a boyfriend you know." Tara replied.
"What another one?" He joked as she slapped him on the arm.
"I'll have to put that on the list of cheesiest pick up lines." Tara said. There was a long moment of silence.
"…You're lucky." Gar spoke suddenly.
"What?" Tara asked.
"You won't have to go to class tomorrow. Not to mention I've got detention for about a week for running out on Dr. Light…freak." Gar added that last part.
"Slade's still going to make me. You know how he is. I just got a note from the nurse. I've got a month's worth of imprisonment in a fucking cubicle courtesy of Mr. Wilson… you'd better get back to your friends." She said.
"I'll see you around." He said before leaving.
"Later." She replied.
At the Girl's Locker Room
"Why are we in the area of clothing exchange?" Kory asked. One it smelled. Two it was empty, and three it was completely freaky when you're in a smelly empty place, at least that's how Kory felt. Raven opened the envelope.
"Bitch's good." Raven said looking through the contents.
"What is inside?" Kory asked.
"There aren't any cameras in here and Tara didn't get me a bar of soap." Raven said annoyed from all the questions. She took out a key, there was a note reading: 'Case files midnight.'
"How were you able to heal Friend Tara?" Kory asked.
"Would you believe me if I said my favorite color was pink?" Raven asked Kory shook her head, no.
"Then you won't believe me if I said I had 'powers'." Raven said stuffing the contents back in the envelope as both girls walked out of the locker room.
Midnight…
Raven and Kory ran through the halls after sneaking out of their dorms. They ran in front of the Control Room.
"You're late." Tara said folding her arms over her chest.
"Kory was asking me about-"
"Why you keep life sized voodoo dolls in your room?" Tara asked smirking.
"They're decoys." Raven shot back glaring.
"Right…witch." Tara replied slipping on some gloves (they didn't want to get caught by being checked with the old fingerprint trick) and opened the door with the key. The door closed behind them. The room was in absolute darkness, Raven opened a flashlight, that seemed to light the entire area. The room was so…technological. There were a few tanks, test tubes, millions of switches, chemicals, computers, and buttons. A certain machine caught Kory's eye. Her musings were interrupted by a voice.
"Heh. Sure beats lab class." Tara said. To the far end was another door labeled CASE FILES. They opened it and went in. Unlike the room before this one was filled with file cabinets and boxes of confiscated items. Raven immediately went through the cabinets after pulling gloves on. She pulled out two files marked RAVEN ROTH and TARA MARKOV.
"Wait a minute… this is all the evidence needed during the trials, but they never presented it…" Raven said suspiciously.
"Hey Kory. Have a cell phone?" Tara asked.
"No." Kory replied.
"Want one?" Tara said throwing one to her.
"Roth, catch. You'll need it for later." She said throwing another.
"The bastard…it was all planned out. He stole the evidence right from under our noses. No wonder my lawyer didn't have any records that day." Raven said gritting her teeth.
"What'd he want to do with a few kids? It's not like we're special or something, we're just some street punks." Tara asked pocketing a pack of KOOLS (cigarette brand).
"Tara…" Raven said.
"What?" Tara asked cocking an eyebrow.
"You'll get some long term disease." Raven said.
"You know I've smoked before, what do you care?" Tara asked placing her hands on her hips.
"If you get caught, they'll wonder where you got that. The only place that has those is this room. They'll know you were here." Raven stated.
"…Fine" Tara replied placing it back. Kory wondered out of the room. She walked towards the machine. There was a red button near it that was screaming to her to push it. She walked close to the machine. Suddenly a container was released from above that trapped her, Tara and Raven quickly snapped their heads towards the Control Room. The alarm went off. Kory pounded on the glass container.
"We have to go now." Raven said.
"We can't just-"
"What's the point if we all get caught?" Raven asked as Tara's eyes widened. There was a green colored gas being released in the tank.
"DAMN IT ANDERS. DON'T YOU DARE BREATHE IN THAT GAS! YOU HEAR ME?" Tara yelled over the alarm. Kory tried holding her breath as her roommates attempted to get her out. Tara tried punching the container.
"It's no use. Someone's bound to be coming here." Raven said.
"Go. I'm not leaving anyone behind. This was my fault. I shouldn't have brought a newbie along…GO!" Tara said as Raven threw her a switchblade.
"It's as much as my fault as it is yours. I'll distract the guards." Raven said taking one last glance then reluctantly running out. Tara grabbed the knife and slammed it into the container. The container finally gave away. Tara quickly dragged a coughing Kory out of the shattered glass.
"What. Has. This. Kid. Been. Eating?" Tara mumbled dragging Kory. She saw two guards on the floor.
'Wonder what she did to them?' Tara thought before stepping on one of them like a floor mat and running as fast as she could back to her room slamming the door behind her.
"What'd you do to those guards?" Tara asked Raven
"They thought we turned into stuffed brain washed objects." Raven said using her powers to make a decoy move like a zombie.
"Wicked" Tara said smirking.
"Is she ok?" Raven asked putting away her 'decoys'.
"My…hands are on fire…" Kory said in pain.
"Oh no…" Tara said shaking her head in disbelief.
"She breathed the gas?" Raven asked.
"Gee I dunno. Can she hold her breath for five minutes?" Tara asked sarcastically.
"Why did you go back for her? It's not like you to help anyone." Raven asked.
"What I can't? You remember what happened when I got caught in Slade's office…" Tara said.
"Oh…that. What do we do about her now?" Raven asked.
"Hey you're the first one out of all of us to breathe the stuff. I was hoping you'd know." Tara said shrugging.
"Do you have any bad side effects so far?" Raven asked.
"My hands feel strange…" Kory said, soon a greenish glow shown on her hands.
"What is happening?" Kory asked in fear. She redirected her hands from her face.
"Eep!" She squeaked as a green energy erupted from her hands and singed something on the counter. There was silence. It was broken by non other than Tara.
"Aww…man. That was my last pack."
A.N. Well there's chapter 3. I probably won't be updating in like in a while cause of school. I'm still waiting for some people to vote on who should end up with Robin. BTW Tara smokes in the comics so why not stick that inhere since they're all delinquents.
