Here is Chapter 4. Rather on the short side, and not quite as important as the last chapter, but it will get better! (I just have to write it down first) Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. They belong to DC comics. I do own Clarisse though.

Chapter 4

Homeward Bound

Three days passed. BB and the other titans arrived at the hospital in the T-car. It had been a week since the Titan's last visit, and BB hoped Raven wasn't mad. They had been very busy defending the city from Slade and his minions. Sometimes that guy could be a pain.

The T-car came to a stop in the hospital parking lot. The Titans got out of the car and went into the building. Robin walked up to the desk. "We're here to visit Raven."

The secretary pressed a button on her phone, activating intercom to the third floor. A voice answered shortly after, "Yes?"

"Is Raven in her room?" The secretary asked.

"Hold on, let me check." Replied the voice.

Robin lifted an eyebrow in curiosity. "Is she okay?"

The secretary smiled. "Yes she's fine. Last week the doctor got her into a wheelchair. If she's not in her room she's probably in the garden. She's taken a liking to that place."

"She's not up here." Said the voice over the intercom.

"Well then, you know where to find her." The secretary stated. "Look near the pond under the apple trees that's where she usually is."

Robin led the Titans into the garden at the center of the hospital. Once outside, BB glanced around. At first he didn't see Raven, and then he saw her a little ways away sitting under a tree with a few blooms on it. The pink reflected beautifully off of her violet hair.

Sitting next to her was a small girl. She as a paper sail boat floated out into the center of the pond. Raven was smiling warmly. The girl was laughing softly. Raven glanced up at them and then her eyes widened with surprise.

As the Titans approached, they overheard Raven saying, "Look Clarisse, the Titans are here. If you ask real nicely maybe BB will give you his autograph."

The girl giggled. BB's ears perked up at his name. But what struck him odd was that Raven moving quickly, apparently without delay.

"Hey guys!" Raven said as the titans neared. The girl looked at the ground shyly.

"Hello friend!" Star said happily. "We are most sorry that we have not come to see you but we have been busy fighting with Slade."

"I bet Robin's having a lot of fun with that." Raven said immediately in response. All the Titan's eyes went wide. So BB hadn't been mistaken.

Raven noticed their surprised expressions. "What?"

Clarisse giggled. "You all look funny."

BB shook his head. "You're not delayed Raven!"

"I know." Raven said.

"How did you over come it?" Star asked excitedly. She was floating in the air her face close to Raven's.

Raven smiled innocently. "I figured out that if I concentrate hard enough, I can move without delay. The technique is still being perfected, but pretty soon I will be able to move with absolutely no hampering at all. Doctor Myers about had a heart attack when it showed him."

Starfire could hold it no longer, "Oh, this is so wonderful my dear friend! You are recovering!"

Star then caught Raven in a lung crushing hug. (Raven had little power to flee.)

"St…ar…can't breathe." Raven gasped out. The alien noticed her friend turning blue. She let go. Clarisse tried hard to keep from laughing. Panting, Raven gave the girl a smile.

The young girl smiled and held out a pen and paper to the green titan. She timidly asked, "BB…could I have your autograph?"

Beast Boy smiled and answered, "Of course."

All the Titans signed it. Clarisse looked at the paper lovingly. "Thank you."

"Clarisse! Come on it's time for you to get that test." Called a nurse. Clarisse paled a little.

Raven laid a hand gently on the girl's shoulder. "It will be okay. I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Clarisse gave her a weak smile and walked to the nurse. They disappeared into the hospital.

"That girl sure likes you Raven." Cyborg commented.

Raven smiled. "Yes, we are good friends."

"What is wrong with her?" Robin asked. It was the first time he'd spoken up.

Raven shook her head. "They don't know."

Then the dark Titan sighed. It was time to ask. "I've been avoiding this question. Where am I going to live-"

"With us of course!" Cyborg said.

"Yes, we have been preparing for your return home." Star said, "We put in ramps on all of the small stairs-"

"And we got extra elevators put in, even one that goes to the roof!" BB said with a big smile and pointed to the sky.

Raven looked around at her friend's smiling faces. "I…I don't know what to say."

"You're welcome." Star said.
