I'm back, and here's the third chapter. Tons of BB/Rae fluff (heh heh). Enjoy.

Dislaimer: Do I need to say it?

Chapter Three

It was night time as Ralek and Gary carried Beast Boy's limp form down the street to a back alley. They paused, and then slowly lowered him down.

"This look like a good place to you?" asked Gary.

"Yeah," Ralek answered. "They'll definately find him here." They then heard sounds of someone walking nearby.

"Here comes somebody!" hissed Ralek. "Let's get outta here!" They took off as Raven came around the corner into the alleyway, calling Beast Boy's name. She then noticed Beast Boy's limp form on the ground.

"Beast Boy?" Raven came rushing up to his body. He groaned and then opened one eye. "Raven, what happened?" he asked.

"You tell me," Raven answered. "You never came home from the doctor's and Robin formed a search pa-" in the moonlight she then got a good look at him. "What happened to your face?" she asked.

"My face?" Beast Boy then noticed that blood had hardened under his nose and it was hard to see out of one eye. "I, I can't remember. Oh boy, I don't feel so hot, dude." Beast Boy then dropped to his hands and knees and began to vomit on the ground.

"Beast Boy!" Raven dropped down beside him and started rubbing his back. Beast Boy retched for a few more seconds and then began shivering. Raven felt his forehead.

"You're sick," Raven said, taking off her cloak and putting it around Beast Boy. "C'mon, let's go home." Carefully she helped Beast Boy up and walked him back to Titans Tower.

Across the street, two baddies were confused out of their minds.

"What's with the sickness?" asked Gary. "Is there some freak epidemic going around?"

Ralek shrugged. "Could be a side effect from the operation. We may want to wait until he's better before we move on to phase two. You follow them back to the tower ad keep me posted. He's gotta get better sometime."

"Got it." Gary turned and kept close behind BB and Raven as Ralek headed in the other direction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the Tower, once the other titans had arrived and Beast Boy had been placed in the infirmary (He soon fell asleep), they ran checks to see what had caused his illness.

"Well, I'm not positive what caused this sickness," reported Cyborg. "But logically I'd say either he just picked it up off the street, or it's a result of the needle he received today, that happens to some people."

Raven, who had Beast Boy's hand in hers without a plausible excuse of how it got there, said, "He's going to be all right though, isn't he?"

"Sure," Cyborg answered. "He just needs some rest and lot's of fluids, and he'll be right as rain in no time."

"So, can we rule out Gary and Ralek here?" asked Robin.

"Maybe, maybe not," said Cyborg. "I really don't see why they would inject BB with a virus and then just dump him in an alleyway, but this wouldn't be the first weird thing they did."

"Could it be that Raven interrupted them before they could proceed with their plans?" asked Starfire.

"Could be," Robin said. "But Beast Boy was pretty worried before he left for the doctor's, so it's possible that he worried himself sick."

"If he did that, then the doctor's probably would have told us," reminded Cyborg. (This discussion continued for quite a while).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gary didn't bother to listen beyond that. He flipped on his walkie. "This is Gary," he said. "Boss, do you copy?"

"Yeah, I'm here," Ralek answered. "Report."

"We're on the list of suspects, but it doesn't look like there going to delve deep enough to know what we're planning. They're pretty bamboozled."

"Good. We can't risk them finding us, or this could end way to early, and in a rather grisly fashion. Keep me posted until he's better, then join me at the base."

"Roger that."

"Oh, and one more thing."

"Yes sir?"

"Don't say 'bamboozled' ever again."

"Yes sir. Sorry sir."

Gary turned off his walkie and kept survielance on Beast Boy. He noticed that it was only him and Raven in the room now.

"Oh, great," he grumbled. "They're not gonna get into more mushy nonsence, are they?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beast Boy slowly woke up from his sleep. "Ugh, where am I?" he asked.

"You're in the Titan's infirmary," Raven answered. Beast Boy sat up and clutched his stomach.

"You've got the flu. You should lie down." saaid Raven. Beast Boy grabbed a bucket and began to gag into it. "What in the world happened to me?" he asked.

"Robin's looking into that now."

"Oh." Beast Boy turned to Raven with a sudden inspiration, "Um, uh, Rae?"

"Don't call me Rae. What is it?"

"Well, I, uh, I, I, I, I...(He gulped and chickened out) Thanks for helping me."

"No problem." Raven wasn't sure why, but she began to feel somewhat disappointed. She got up and said, "Would you like me to get you anything?"

"Well," Beast Boy answered sweetly. "Since I'm going to be here for a little while, could you get me my comic books, please?"

"Sure," Raven answered. She walked down to his room and stared at the two-foot pile of junk coating the floor. "If I can find them," She said under her breath.

"Terrific. Why to they always have to talk mushy like that when I'm around?" Gary asked.

What do you think. Yeah, I know, full of pointless fluff, but it'll get nice and full of action soon.
