Chapter 6

Beast Boy woke up in the infirmary of Titan's Tower. He was groggy and disoriented, but everything started to come into focus. He looked around the room and saw the spare bed next to him, the monitors around him, and what looked like an IV bag next to his bed with a needle in his arm. He looked at his body again and saw there were bandages all around his torso. "Wha-" Beast Boy said softly. Then his memory fluttered back in his mind as he remembered jumping in front of Ternion's attack to protect his friend.

Beast Boy was curious as to what had happened after he lost consciousness. He saw no one in the room, so he could not ask anyone. He tried to get up, but the pain from the previous battle had made him so weak, he could not prop himself up. After a few attempts, he finally gave in that he was not going anywhere anytime soon. He sighed and turned his head to the side, thinking, wandering, about how his friends were. After a moment of quiet, the doors opened and he heard someone's footsteps walk in. He turned his head to see who it was.

Cyborg had walked in with a clipboard in front of his face, which contained all the medical knowledge and damage Beast Boy had sustained after his last battle. He flipped the page over to look at what else it was saying. After reading he set the clipboard on the counter and looked at the monitors to check his status. He had no idea that Beast Boy was even awake yet. He then heard someone call his name.

"Cyborg?" Beast Boy said with as much force as he could muster.

Cyborg turned and saw that his friend was wide awake. He calmly walked over to him and looked at the monitor above him which showed all his vitals. "Well looks like your awake," Cyborg commented. He took one last look to check if everything was ok.

"Yeah, what happened?" Beast Boy asked curious as to how he ended up here and what happened after he lost consciousness.

"You were hurt B," Cyborg started as he walked over to the sink and grabbed a new IV bag for him. He walked over back to Beast Boy and continued explained while he replaced the IV bag. "Ternion had hit you hard man. Quite hard in fact." Cyborg walked over to the counter and brought up a picture of Beast Boy's X-rays. It had shown his chest and it looked like a cracked spider web. "Your sternum, most of your ribs and a collar bone. Have you to stay was a pretty clean break. Not to mention the burn marks caused by electrocution." Cyborg went bent to Beast Boy and checked his bandages. After looking him over he spoke one more time. "You're lucky to be alive."

"Well that's good to know," Beast Boy chuckled for a moment. However afterwards he winced in pain and coughed.

"Careful B, your still hurt," Cyborg said as he made sure Beast Boy was as comfortable as he could be.

"Thanks for telling me after the fact," Beas Boy said to his metallic friend. Cyborg smirked at him, knowing he was joking. Beast Boy then remembered the child. "Cyborg, tell me is the kid ok?"

Cyborg was continuing his check up making sure that everything was ok. "Huh, oh the girl, yeah she fine. A little scared from the battle, and few scraps, but nothing that Raven couldn't fix," Cyborg replied. He double checked all the machines and made sure that everything was working properly.

Beast Boy relaxed a little and sighed thankfully. "That's good," he spoke quietly. Regardless of how long he slept, he started to feel tired again.

"Well looks like everything is fine. All your vitals say you're ok, no permanent damage, and no heart or head trauma," Cyborg said as he finished his check up.

"Good," Beast Boy said sleepily.

Cyborg saw that his friend was about to crash again. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll let you get back to sleep man. And when you're up again, I'll have the others stop by, they've been asking." But he saw that Beast Boy was already asleep so it's a good chance that he did not hear a word that Cyborg said. Cyborg then quietly left the room so he could go tell his friends that he was awake or rather was awake.

Cyborg entered the Common Room and saw that the other Titans were sitting on the couch. Raven had her nose in a book, and it looked like she was trying to tune out any noise around her. And Starfire and Robin were sitting together watching a movie. It looked like they needed something to distract them form yesterday's events.

"Hey y'all," Cyborg yelled to everyone so they could all hear him. The three Titans turned their heads to look at Cyborg and immediately got up from their seats and went straight to Cyborg who was standing in the kitchen area, preparing himself some lunch.

"Cyborg, please tell us, is our friend awake?" Starfire asked with her hands held together in front of her chest.

Cyborg got his sandwich from the fridge and placed it on a plate for himself. "He was for a little bit. He asked me what happened yesterday, and I explained everything to him," Cyborg told his friends. This gave them a feeling of relief to know that he was going to be ok.

"Please tell us, when may we see him?" Starfire asked him, anxious to see her green friend once again.

"Well right now, he's asleep, but I told him the next time he wakes up we can see him," Cyborg explained to all of them. At the same time he made his lunch and headed over to the table to eat. "In the meantime guys, I would relax, he's not going anywhere." The other Titans nodded and went back to what they were doing before Cyborg came in.

A couple of hours later, Beast Boy was wide awake, and stuck in the infirmary. Luckily Cyborg checked on him at least once an hour to make sure everything was ok. So he did not wait long. Cyborg immediately called the other Titans and told them that they could come in and say hi.

The three remaining members walked in and saw that the green changeling was wide awake and happy to see them all.

"Friend, you have awoken!" Starfire exclaimed as she flew over to give him a hug. Cyborg stopped her before she had the chance to though.

"Sorry Star, he's not quite ready for hugs yet. Still pretty badly hurt. But soon I promise you can hug like you used to," Cyborg explained to her. At first Starfire was said, but then happy that he would soon just as he was again.

Robin and Raven approached the bed and looked at Beast Boy for a moment. "So how you holding up?" Robin asked kindly.

Beast Boy smiled and answered, "Oh, I'll be much better once I get out of this stupid bed, and start kicking Cy's butt at Mega Monkey's 4."

Cyborg huffed a laugh, and said, "Yeah, that will be the day. You, beating me at a videogame." The others smiled in amusement at this, save for Raven. She kept her calm demeanor on even after seeing his damaged body.

"Yeah well looking at his X-rays and vitals, I'd say Raven could heal him up a little so he can get out of this room and back on the main floor," Cyborg said as he showed the other Titans his charts.

Beast Boy's happy demeanor quickly changed into a stoic one when he heard this. None of the other Titans saw this as they looked at Raven who nodded and agreed to heal him. Starfire jumped up with glee that her friend would soon be healed and they could all hang out again. Robin had a smile on his face that his friend would be healed. And as for Cyborg he had a devious smile and looked at Beast Boy for a moment, and then back at Robin and Starfire.

"Hey Robin, Star?" Cyborg said to the both of them. The two titans looked at him and gave him a quizzical look. "Why don't we leave these two alone so Raven can concentrate on healing BB?"

"But I wish-" but before Starfire could finish Robin grabbed her hand and spoke.

"Cyborg's right Star. Raven needs all the concentration for this one," Robin said to her. Starfire looked sad for a moment. She had wanted to hang out with Beast Boy as soon as he was finished. "Why don't we go and do whatever you want ok Star?"

Starfire soon smiled widely again and she ran out of the room, dragging her boyfriend with her. Cyborg shook his head knowing Robin might soon regret this. He then looked back at BB and winked at him, give a good luck indication. With that he walked out of the Infirmary, leaving Raven and Beast Boy alone.

Raven had not once spoken to him since they had arrived since they all arrived in the Infirmary. All she could think about was how he had protected everyone and now he was hurt because of it. She felt as though there was nothing she could do for him. And that made her feel low. But now that he was awake she would make it right a little bit by helping him heal quicker.

Raven walked towards Beast Boy and then stood at the side of his bed looking into his eyes. "Hi," Raven said quietly to him, worried about how he would react.

"Hi," he said stoically.

Raven looked at him for a moment and then made her hands glow a light fluorescent blue. She leaned over him and placed her hands on his chest as gently as she could as so not to hurt him anymore. However before she could begin the healing process a hand grabbed one of her wrists and this startled and confused her for a moment. She saw that it was the green hand of her friend. She looked back at his face and he spoke. "No," he spoke to her.

Raven was confused for a moment, did he not want her to heal him. "Why? If I heal you now at least a little bit, then you won't have to be stuck in here for weeks?" Raven asked him wandering what he was doing.

"Raven, I don't want you to heal me. Just let it heal on its own. I don't want to strain you and it's not that bad," Beast Boy said as he pulled Raven's hand away from his chest. Almost instinctively h her other left his chest and the blue light faded from her hands.

Raven looked at him quizzically, wondered why he did not want to be healed. And then in a single motion she realized what it could be. When he said a month ago saying he was done. Could he still not want to deal with her even though he was in really hurt? Was he so stubborn, that he did not want her to even help him when he was in trouble?

Raven grew angry and her face showed it. "Beast Boy, I know you said you were done and all, but you're hurt and I'm going to help you," Raven said to him in a deadpan voice with a tinge of anger in it.

Beast Boy looked at her incredulously. She had not spoken to him like that in over a month. "Raven I-" But before he could continue, Raven had interrupted him.

"No Beast Boy! I am your friend. I know you said that we would only be teammates. But after seeing you like this," Raven yelled, but then immediately looked down. She looked down at her shoes for a moment, but then just as quickly looked back at him. "I don't care if you're done with me, you are going to let me heal you; it's the least I can do to say I'm sorry!" Raven immediately put her hands back on his chest and the blue light illuminated her hands as she began to heal him, bit by bit.

Beast Boy had not expected that. Since the incident over a month ago, Beast Boy had not once heard her say she was sorry. And then all of a sudden she yells it bluntly in his face. He could feel his chest slowly heal, and his breathing became easier by the moment. He turned his face away from Raven and looked towards his side.

After a couple of minutes Raven had finished. Beast Boy could feel that the pain was mainly gone, but still lingered there, and his breathing became much easier. Raven stood up straight and said, "I managed to heal as much of the breaks as I could, and I could feel that your breathing became less labored. But that doesn't mean you are healed yet. It's still gonna take some time for you to heal fully."

Beast Boy did not look at her, or even acknowledge what she said. He merely looked away from Raven. Raven sighed and said, "Well you probably need your rest, I'll leave you be." And with that said, Raven went to the doors. Before leaving she looked back at Beast Boy and saw his hand clench tightly into a fist. She turned back to the hallway and walked out, but not before hearing one last thing, or rather she thought she heard something.
