Well here is Chapter 2! Don't ask about the delayed movements. I don't know if it's possible or not. Thanks for reviewing. You've given me lots of Insperation! Teen Titans belongs to DC comics.

Chapter 2

Sad News

Two days passed without a word about Raven. Then another passed. And another. Finally five days after the accident, Robin received a call from the hospital.

"Uh huh. Okay, we'll be right over." Robin said and hung up the phone. Beast Boy was right behind him.

"Who was that? Where are we going?" The green titan asked anxiously.

Robin smiled slightly and replied, "Raven is awake and wants to see us."

The other titans were in the room now and Star cried out in glee, "She has recovered!"

Robin shook his head. "It's not as simple as that. Raven's awake, but they ran tests on her. Doctor Myers said that her movements are delayed."

"Delayed?" BB asked in confusion.

Robin nodded. "They asked her to do things and it took a moment for her to respond or move. They think her thoughts might delayed too. She is also having trouble remembering things. She remembers us, but not our names. They also have determined that she is paralyzed and will never be able to walk again."

"No! Robin you must be mistaken!" Star pleaded her eyes wide. BB's ears drooped. This was horrible.

Robin turned towards the door. "Come on. She wants to see us."

The Titans followed Doctor Myers down the hallway to Raven's room. Everyone was silent. Not even Starfire, with her usual cheeriness, made a peep.

Finally, they came to their friend's room. Beast Boy was first to enter. Raven was in her bed. Her eyes were closed. The green titan walked over to the bed. Robin, Cyborg and Star followed his lead. BB took a breath to speak, but before he could utter a sound, Raven's eyes opened. There was a moment's pause, and then she turned her head to the green titan. She stared at him.

"I know you." Raven said quietly.

BB nodded. "Yeah we are your friends, the Teen Titans."

With amethyst eyes in deep concentration, Raven stuttered out, "B…B…Beast Boy."

Beast Boy was frozen in shock for a moment. She had remembered that fast? He shook his head quickly. With a huge smile he replied, "Yeah. That's me!"

Raven smiled weakly. "I remember you annoying me with stupid and constant jokes."

BB smiled sheepishly. "Uh…yeah."

Starfire was next. She jumped up and down excitedly. "Dear friend do you remember my name?"

After a pause, Raven turned her head to Star. She stared at Starfire for a long time. BB thought she had fallen asleep with her eyes open. Finally, the dark titan said slowly, "St…Starfire."

Starfire jumped and squealed with glee. She about hugged Raven. Robin, fortunately grabbed Star's shoulder and said, "That's probably not a good idea."

Star backed off. Raven was now looking at Robin and Cyborg. She squinted her eyes at them. "You are…Cy…borg and R…R…Robin."

Doctor Myers walked in and stopped in shock. "You already remember their names?"

There was the pause, and then Raven said, "Yes. I remember being with them and fighting with them."

The Doctor lifted his eyebrows. "You're off better than we thought. This is great news! I'll be right back."

The doctor hustled out of the room. Robin watched him go. Cyborg turned back to Raven and asked, "How are you feeling?"

The pause, and then Raven lifted her unbroken arm and revealed the I.V. attached to it. "They have me on some kind of painkiller. Otherwise my back would be unbearable."

Robin, who had been silent throughout the whole exchange, finally asked a question. "You do know you're paralyzed. You won't ever walk again?"

After the normal pause, Raven's face fell. "Yes, I know. I knew almost as soon as I woke up fully. I couldn't move my legs or feel them at all."

Robin nodded quietly. There was an awkward silence. Doctor Myers walked back in. He instantly noticed the uneasiness in the room.

"Well, look at the time, I'm sorry titans but you should go now. I'm sure you are very busy." He said.

Robin sighed and replied, "Yeah I think we should go."

The Titans said good-bye, to Raven and left. As they filed out the door, BB glanced back and saw Raven bow her head and a tear trickle down her cheek.
