Chapter 5: Elemental; Live or die?
Three days had passed since Terra's betrayal of the titans. The attack she had planned to destroy Beast Boy had injured Elemental. Right now, he was in critical condition and in a coma. Cyborg had finished going thru tests on his sword-toting follow titan. He had told Raven that she could visit him as much as she wants as long as she doesn't move him much. To tell the truth, not even her magics could heal her boyfriend.
One day, she went into sick bay to check on him, and remembered something that happened two days after she and Elemental became a couple, she had found the control over her powers thru a session of meditation with Starfire and Elemental. She began to tell him a story, knowing he could hear her, but could not respond. "Remember when you helped attain full control of my emotions and powers? That day was the best day of my life." she said as she grabbed Elemental's hand. "That was the day I fell in love with you." she said as held his hand closer to the side of her head. To her surprise, Elemental's grip on her hand tightened with love. She had let go of his hand and ran to tell the other titans.
At first, Beast Boy and Cyborg thought that was scary, but Robin and Starfire thought it was worth a try. Then, one at a time each titan told a story or relived a memory that Elemental was in. Robin had told him of the time when he taught Robin a new martial art style called Hapkido. Then the time of when they were training in the batcave running laps. Robin had slipped and almost fell to his death, if Elemental never reached down and grabbed his hand.
Starfire then told Elemental of the time when he told her to confront her feelings for Robin. Ever since that conversation, Robin and Starfire had became a couple shortly after Elemental and Raven. Otherwise, Starfire felt eternally grateful to her planet controlling friend. She gave Elemental a friendly hug so not to get on Raven's bad side and left.
Cyborg went next to tell something good about Elemental. There was a lot of things that Cyborg could tell about Elemental. One thing he talked about was how Elemental helped Cyborg come up with a way to improve the security of titans' tower. Following Elemental's advice the tower was now hacker proof. He even reprogrammed the defenses for the other towers. He then talked about how Raven and Elemental helped him create a better Cy-car.
Beast Boy was next to tell Elemental that following his advice, he could tell better jokes. Jokes so good, during times of peace in the city, he was booked in every comic club with material on Elemental, Raven, and Cyborg. He owed his success to the friend who was sacrifice himself for his friends. He silently wished for Elemental to recover. To him, life before Elemental joined the titans, life was fun, afterward it was better. He wasn't ready for this ride to end.
Raven once again came into sickbay and reminded Elemental of the night when Elemental and she had sat on the roof and starred at the stars in the night sky. Raven then leaned over her comatose boyfriend and gave him a full contact kiss on the lips. As she left, she hear something that shocked her.
"...Nice."
As soon as Raven heard that, she turned around to see Elemental awake and sitting up looking right at her. She then got on the intercom system and called the titans to the sick bay forr a big surprise. As soon as they got to sick bay, they saw Elemental standing at the window with Raven by his side. Needless to say, they were grateful with the fact that Elemental was alive.
After 30 minutes of questions, Elemental had asked the other titans to left him and Raven alone, seeing she almost in tears. Elemental and Raven had a little make out session to celebrate Elemental's awakening. Afterward he asked "What's tonight?". "Tonight's the night of full moon." Raven told him. "Good." he said. "Finally, I can get rid of this curse." and with that said he gave Raven one hell of a kiss on the lips.
