I know it was a long wait and I apologize again. I have had so much homework lately that I just haven't had the time to update. I am truly sorry. Anyway just so you know I have reposted all of the first three chapters. I fixed spelling, grammar and the overall scenes. Chapters two and three really sucked. Anyways I do think you should know that I do know were I am going with this though I have not the slightest clue were the next chapter is going. I will be re-posting this chapter, FOR SURE but I might need a while to figure out how I want to change it exactly. Again no worries for those who have or are planning to read this chapter. The plot of the chapter will not change, just the wording. I am not proud of this in the slightest way and I do hope that readers may start to have their own opinions of what will happen in the story. Please if so, I would love to know what they are. Anyway, if anyone has actually read my authors note then please do review and tell me what you think. Comments, flames or not, are always appreciated. And yes I am trying to make my chapters longer and more action packed… If you haven't noticed. So see yall later and I will try to update soon…
Chapter 4.Can you here me?
Robin slowly opened his eyes only to quickly close them again due to the sudden outburst of light. His head was spinning. What on earth had happened to suddenly make him so disoriented? "Oh…" Robin groaned. He hurt terribly, his whole body felt as though he was on fire, but at the same time was frozen to death. His left arm was the worst though. The throbbing, burning pain was enough to bring tears to his eyes. Thankfully he had his mask on, and no one would know he had cried.
"Robin, Robin can you here me?" Cyborg asked anxiously.
"C-Cy…" Robin stuttered, while trying to open his eyes.
"Yeah I'm here man, we're all here as a matter of fact." Cyborg informed his friend while gently lifting him from the battered pavement.
"Ev-every-th-thing hur-hurts" He sad while doing his best to suppress a painful sob.
"Listen, were here okay. Were going to take you back to the tower. And everything will be okay." Cyborg said gently, while avoiding the gaze of the many onlookers of the scene. Robin carefully turned in Cyborg's protective grasp, doing his best to curl up into a little ball.
"We're at the T-car okay. I'm going to put you in the back seat okay." Robin lightly nodded, and Cyborg with the help of Raven's powers gently eased him into the back seat of the T-car.
"Rae he's really cold." Raven understanding Cyborg's statement removed her cloak and gently placed it on top of Robin. "It's going to be okay Robin. Your going be okay. I promise." Raven softly spoke into his ear. "You'll be okay…" Closing the door to the back seat she turned to meet the worried gaze of her friends. "We've got to get him back to the tower and fast, he's going into shock." She informed them. With that said Beast Boy and the scared Starfire took no time flying back home. Cyborg and Raven got into the two front seats of the T-car. Only taking the time to take one look at their beaten friend.
"Raven look." Cyborg said while pointing to Robin's left arm. "Starfire was right. He's been burned pretty badly, he'll need surgery." Cyborg informed her. "Call the others and tell them we need the medical supplies out and ready." He ordered starting up the T-car.
Upon arrival at the Tower they immediately set about tending to his injuries.
It went well, Robin would most defiantly be out of commission for a good long while, but he would indeed make a full recovery. Though it was hard for them to admit it they informed the Beast Boy and Starfire that he was slightly worse of than they had originally thought. But if all went well he should be yelling at them to let him out of the infirmary in a few days.
As predicted Robin awoke two days later surrounded by his friends. "Ohhh, my head…" He groaned somewhat drowsily.
"Robin, can you here me?" Cyborg asked nervously.
"Yeah, Cy. Your yelling…" Robin responded weekley.
"You gave us quite a scare there dude. Glad to see you're all right!" Beast Boy exclamed, happily while hovering around the bed on all sides.
"Robin I am so sorry. You were badly damaged and I tried to help but…" Robin cut Starfire off mid-sentence. "Listen to me Starfire. It wasn't your fault. It was no one's fault but my own. I don't blame you in any way. Do you understand?" Robin questioned the teary eyed Starfire, though he was still fumbling with his words a bit. "I understand friend Robin, but please do know that it wasn't your fault either."
"I won't blame myself either." Robin assured her, closing his eyes once again. He just felt so tired and cold. "Robin are you alright?" Raven asked while coming closer to the bed. She placed a hand on Robin's forehead. "Just a little cold is all." Robin informed her." "I'll go get another blanket, one second." Beast Boy assured him. Returning only a few minutes later with a thick blanket. Raven took the blanket from him and gently tucked Robin in some more. "Listen you rest up a bit, and we'll come by again later with some soup or something okay." Cyborg placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Nighty night." Beast Boy turned off the lights and the four left Robin to rest.
"Is he okay? He seemed off." Beast Boy asked Cyborg.
"Well his whole left arm was just burned to a crisp and broken in like three places. He was already going into shock when we found him. We'll have to keep an eye on him until he starts to perk up a bit. And no matter what, he is not to leave the infirmary. No matter how badly he wants to. Understand?" Cyborg asked the remaining titans outside the infirmary door. The titans responded with a reassuring nod, and decided that someone would need to stay with him during the night. Raven elected that she would stay with him, until around dinner and that they would have to take shifts during the night.
Raven reentered the infirmary and taking a chair sat next to Robin as he slept. Not even when he was sleeping did he look peaceful. His clenched fist and raged breathing told her just how much pain he was in. His bandaged arm was no pretty sight and she knew that it was indeed hurting him terribly.
"Cyborg, you there?" Raven called through to his communicator.
"Yeah Rae, what's the mater."
"Nothing out of the ordinary, but do you think you could give him another shot of morphine or pain killers or something. He's in pain, I can tell that much just by looking at him." Cyborg noticing the tone of her voice and facial expression, told her that he would indeed be there in a minute and give Robin something else for the pain. Upon arrival Cyborg gave Robin another shot of morphine. Almost immediately the two watched Robin's expression change to that of a more relaxed one.
"Cyborg, he will be okay right?" Raven asked not taking her eyes off the sleeping form of Robin. "Physically, eventually yes. It's his mental state I'm worried about."
"Cyborg, can I ask you a question?" She asked.
"Sure Rae, what's on your mind?"
"Well I was just wondering. The fight with Overload was near the middle of the city. How do you think Robin ended up all the way down at the docks?" Raven asked Cyborg some what confused. "You know Rae that has been on my mind a lot to. I mean how would he end up all the way down there. That's a good mile at least he would never have gotten that far with an injury like that. Someone must have taken him there when he was unconscious. But you'd think someone would notice a person carrying our Boy Wonder away. I mean it's not like it's hard to miss him. He looks like a traffic light." Cyborg exclaimed while letting out a slight laugh.
"That's what worries me. He didn't get that far away from the fight on his own. There's no way."
"Hey listen. What matters right now is that he is with us and safe in titans tower. We can look into that more later okay?" cyborg reminded her. "Yeah your right Cyborg. We have what's most important right here with us."
About a week later the titans were able to stop taking shifts and were able to leave Robin alone in the infirmary. Raven stopped in about twice a day and healed up his arm a bit more every time. He was really starting show a lot of improvement. His vitals were better and he no longer needed to nap as much during the day. Robin truly hated being like this. Weak, vulnerable, a liability to his team. He apologized every time he saw one of them and every time got the same answer. "It's alright Robin. It's what friends do."
The titans had been lucky though, nothing big the past week in the crime department. But when the finally got a call saying that Overload was once again out on the loose decided that they would need to have a replacement for Robin till he was capable of standing on his own again. Robin agreed and they decided as a team that they would call up Kid Flash, and see if he was available.
Kid Flash agreed that he would take up the extra position until Robin recovered, and was at the tower in a mater of a mere two minutes. They once again explained the situation to there friend and soon the Teen Titans were able to once again take out the villains the cops could not.
Oh, interesting… so how do ya think Robin got all the way down to the docks when the fight was in the middle of the city? Interesting. I really know were I'm headed now. Tell me what ya think!
