I am almost done...But to tell you the truth, I have NO IDEA what to do for Beast Boy and Raven's date. I need ideas!...So...I guess...I'm relying on the fact that NOBODY READS THESE THINGS! Whatever.
Disclaimer: I am still trying, but do not yet own the Teen Titans... but I'll still keep trying, even if Cartoon Network won't accept my emails...and that restraining order won't last forever! MY DAY WILL COME! Ok, on with the story. :)
Cyborg bustled around the bed, hooking Jinx up to various monitors and machines. Raven sat next to her, attempting to heal her.
"The damage is too extensive. She has to heal on her own."
Kidflash let out a heavy sigh, and put his head in his hands.
"Well, she wouldn't have to if you hadn't thrown her against a wall!"
"Don't yell at her!"
"Cyborg, I can handle this."
Kidflash stood from his seat and walked over to Cyborg. His face turned angry.
"All I know is, if she dies, someone else will to."
They stood there, glaring at each other, until Beast Boy entered the room.
"Guys! Barbara's on her way. She's bringing Robin and...what are you guys doing?"
Kidflash gave Cyborg one last glare before pushing his way past Beast Boy and leaving the room. Cyborg shook his head in dismay.
"Raven, why don't you go check on Star. I'll cover things here."
She nodded and left.
"Ok, BB. What's goin' on?"
"Well, I just told you."
"...Shut up."
Jinx stirred and Cyborg turned back to her.
"Meanwhile, at the tower...what if Jinx doesn't make it?"
"I don't know, dude."
Moments later, Raven tapped lightly on the door to Starfire's room. She heard muffled crying, then feet being dragged to the door. The door opened slowly and Raven smiled warmly at her.
"Hey, Starfire. Mind if I come in?"
"Of course, Raven. Please, come in."
The red head wiped her eyes before turning back to her friend.
"Has there been any news from Robin?"
"Yes. He's on his way now...We found the cure."
Starfire stared at her friend, wide eyed, unsure how to react. When she finally spoke, her voice was a hoarse whisper.
"Robin agreed to the curing of his memory? But I was under the impression that he did not wish to remember us."
"Well, he doesn't exactly know yet. But we think if you talk to him, then..."
Starfire gazed at her feet.
"Robin does not wish to talk to me, he wishes to talk only to Barbara."
"Starfire, he doesn't remember you...now. But he will, I promise."
"How can you make such a promise?"
Raven sighed. This wasn't going to be easy. Starfire was convinced that Robin didn't want to see her, and Starfire was stubborn. When she set her mind to something, only Robin could change it...and that wasn't an option right now.
"Starfire, have I ever misled you?"
Starfire shook her head.
"Then please, just trust me."
With that, Raven took the alien girl by the hand and led her down the flight of stairs leading to the hospital ward. About the same time that they walked in, the doorbell rang throughout the tower, causing many headaches.
"I got it."
Cyborg opened the door to find Barbara standing beside a nervous looking Robin. Barbara glanced up at the immence building and whistled.
"Man, this place is bigger in person. It looks so much smaller on the news."
Cyborg chuckled slightly. Barbara was the type of person who always tried to lighten the mood.
"Alright then, let's get this over with."
"Robin. We've all discussed it...and we're not gonna make you take the cure. It's up to you."
Robin stared at him.
"So...I get to choose?"
Cyborg nodded and led them into the hospital ward, Robin sitting on a bed close to Jinx as they entered. He glanced over, and saw Starfire sitting in the corner of the room staring at him. As soon as their eyes met, he quickly averted his gaze. Moments later, after everyone had entered the room, Cyborg stared at Robin expectantly. Robin noticed and his jaw dropped.
"I have to decide NOW? This is kind of a life altering decision and I have to just make it now?"
"Sorry man, guess I'm kinda antsy. How about we leave you alone to think about it for a while?"
Robin nodded and watched as everyone left the room. Starfire was the last one through the door. Robin forced himself to speak.
"...STARFIRE! Wait...I want to talk to you."
She looked at him quizically, then walked back over to the bed and sat beside him.
"Robin, if you require me to retrieve Barbara, I can do so. All you had to do was..."
"I want to talk to you, not Barbara."
She stared at her feet, waiting for him to talk.
"I was scared."
She looked at him.
"Scared? What was there to be frightened of, Robin?"
"...You."
She gasped lightly, then returned her gaze to the floor.
"I was unaware that I frightened you. If you wish for me to go then..."
"Let me finish. I wasn't afraid of you. It was...my feelings for you. After I woke up in the hospital bed and saw you, I automatically felt a connection with you. And then after you gave me that journal and I read one of the entrys...I was sure."
He walked over to the bed that he had been lying on when he had first come to the tower. He pulled the journal from under the pillow. He opened it to the last page and handed it to her.
"Read that and you'll know what I'm talking about."
