Chapter 11
Garth and Kym
By the time Raven, Shasta, and Robin reached the infirmary, the other Titans were there with the other survivors of Azerath. One was a boy, the other a girl. They sat on one of the beds.
Shasta quickly approached them. "Garth how is she?"
The boy lifted his head, flicking his black hair out of his eyes. "Fine I think." Then Garth began to laugh, "What happened to you? Did you run into a pole?"
Shasta gave the darkly dressed teen a glare. Garth smiled sheepishly, then put his arm around the girl, covering her with is black cloak at the same time. His dark brown eyes watched the girl with worry. He then asked, "Kym how are you feeling?"
The girl lifted her head slightly, revealing her brilliant blue eyes under her long brown hair. Dark circles had formed under her eyes, and she was cold and pale. Kym huddled in her yellow cloak miserably, leaning on Garth as well.
Shasta felt a tap on his shoulder, and he turned to see Robin handing him an ice pack. Robin smiled and said, "Sorry about…beating you up, but I had to make sure you would listen and come with me."
Shasta smiled back and accepted the ice pack. "I wouldn't have come with you if you hadn't."
Shasta placed the pack over his eye, and then turned to Raven. She had said nothing since they had arrived. The dark Titan was sitting near the wall, a worried expression on her face. Shasta turned back to Garth and said, "Do you know who is here?"
Garth gave him a puzzled look. Then he said, "I think you must have lost your brains from getting hit in the head. The people here are the ones that captured us."
Shasta sighed, "Garth… this is not the time to be joking around."
Garth grinned. "Since when has there been a bad time to tell a joke?"
"Right now." Shasta responded.
Garth rolled his dark eyes and said, "Ok ok…I'll stop."
Shasta then turned and pointed at Raven. Garth turned and his eyes grew wide. "R-Raven?"
Kym started, gasping "Raven?"
Then the girl was struck with a coughing fit. Garth turned back to her quickly. Raven shook her head at Shasta. She said quietly, "I was sitting her quietly for a reason you know."
Shasta sighed and watched as Cyborg came over to Kym. He held a syringe in his hand filled with a pale liquid. Kym had recovered, and noticed the sharp object in his hand.
"What is that?!" She said hoarsely. Terror filled her eyes. Cyborg patted her shoulder soothingly.
"It's medicine that will make you better. But you have to trust me." Cyborg said.
Kym eyed the needle nervously. "Wh-what do you do with the sharp point?"
Cyborg replied, "Well, I have to…uh…put it in your skin."
Kym whimpered and buried her face into Garth's arm. He however was staring at the needle with fascination. His eyes sparkled with interest. "Sticking that in her will really make her better?"
Robin was the one who responded this time. "Yes, Cyborg could we try and hurry up? Star and I have…a date tonight and I don't want to miss it."
Cyborg lifted an eyebrow. "Hold on would you? You're not afraid of shots so keep your boots on."
"Now Kym I need you to open and close your hand like you were squeezing something." Cyborg instructed.
Kym shook her head in protest. Tears had formed in her blue eyes. Cyborg sighed and said, "You'll never get better if you don't."
Kym looked down then at Garth. Their eyes met and Kym seemed to draw reassurance from them. She rolled up a sleeve and did as she was instructed. Cyborg prepared the spot where he would put the needle in.
Just as the half robot was about to insert the needle, was when Kym began to freak. She pulled back and a shiver ran through her.
Suddenly a pillow appeared from nowhere, beaming Kym in the back of the head. She whipped around to see that Raven had thrown it. Cyborg took the opening, grabbing Kym's arm injecting the medicine. Kym gasped and by the time she had turned back around, it was over.
Cyborg smiled and said saluted Raven. "Thank you!"
Raven smiled slyly in reply. Then Cyborg said to Kym, "Now that wasn't so bad was it?"
The girl sat stock still, her eyes wide in shock. Then her eyes rolled back into her head and she fainted.
Garth laughed a little and caught the girl before she hit the bed. He laid her head on his lap, and looked back up at Cyborg. "You have to teach me how to use that."
The half robot lifted an eyebrow, "Ok…sure I could use a hand or two around here." Then he glanced at Robin. "Ok boy blunder go get your girlfriend. Oh, and check the commons and make sure BB and Terra aren't doing anything…bad."
Robin shook his head and left. Cyborg then turned to the four Azerathians. "Alright, I'll stay here until Kym wakes up. I hope she's not in…shock."
Garth smiled and chuckled, "She's not good with fear. She'll be okay."
Cyborg smiled, and then looked at Raven. "Would our very important manager like to take you to an empty room to stay in?"
Raven rolled her eyes and smiled, "I'm flattered Cy. Sure I'll show them out."
Raven wheeled to the door, Shasta following. Garth helped the half robot to get Kym under the covers of the bed, and then also followed.
As they trio walked down the hall to an elevator, Garth asked, "So Rae, how you been?"
Raven glanced at him and said, "Pretty good thank you."
"Elusive as ever aren't we?" Garth said jokingly. He eyed her wheelchair with interest but he didn't ask.
Raven shook her head. "Garth I thought you promised no more jokes."
"Well, we're out of the bad time to tell jokes aren't we?" Garth pointed out.
Shasta sighed. "Your arrogance and smart-lick personality are becoming very tiring."
Garth arched an eyebrow and before Shasta could react, Garth had him in a head lock and was giving him a noogy. "If you're so tired of me why am I still your best friend eh?"
"Yo, love birds, come on!" Raven called from inside the elevator. The two boys ran and made it inside before the doors closed.
Raven shook her head. "You two, it's a wonder you're not gay."
Shasta and Garth looked at each other. Neither had any idea what that word meant. Raven continued. "Anyway, come down to the commons once you figure out who is sleeping where. Then take this elevator down to the first level and then go straight until you come to some automatic doors. That will be the commons and that is where I will be with Terra and BB kicking their butts at video games."
The elevator door opened, and Raven led the two young men to an extra room. Afterward the dark titan left. Shasta and Garth were by themselves.
After they had quibbled on who would get which bed, Garth asked, "So did Raven tell you why she is in that…chair?"
Shasta shook his head, a worried look entering his eyes. "No, she said she'd tell me later. But she did tell me that she can't walk anymore."
Garth looked up in surprise. "She can't walk?!"
Shasta nodded. The two fell silent until Garth broke it. "So are you still going to go after her?"
Shasta looked back up and about gave the other Azerathian a nasty reply but Garth was gazing at the green cloaked teen with sincere eyes.
Shasta sighed and replied, "I would go to hell and back for her. You know that."
Garth nodded silently. "Well then shall we go down to the commons?"
The two left the room, Shasta quietly thinking to himself, What if she doesn't love me anymore?
