Chapter 5- Mountain Lions

The first thing Robin heard when he woke was the beeping of machines. He tried to open his eyes and found that he couldn't open his right eye. He looked up and saw white. Then he realized he was in the Titans infirmary. He couldn't really remember what happened. Everything was still in a haze.

He looked down and saw that his arms were littered with scratches and bruises. Did a house fell on me or something, he wondered.

Robin tried to get up, but flinched as hot searing pain flashed across his body. He clutched his chest in pain and waited for the pain to recede. Robin hobbled to the mirror and winced. To say he was in bad shape was an understatement. He looked like he went to hell. His right eye was swelling a nasty dark purple-black, which explained why he couldn't open it earlier. He also noticed that his chest was bandaged up like the rest of his body.

"Oh that's just great. Now I look like a mummy." Robin groaned.

Robin started to slowly remove each of his bandages, but left the one covering his chest.

Robin staggered towards the common room and found it empty.

"Where's everyone?" Robin asked to empty air.

Suddenly, Robin's stomach grumbled loudly. Robin turned red in embarrassment, silently thanking for the lack of occupants in the room.

After Robin has eaten and drank his fill, he checked his communicator and found that none of the Titans were in the Tower.

"What's going on? There are no crime alerts or anything!" Robin said in confusion. Then he gasped, "Maybe a villain has captured them! Or Slade has returned!"

Just as Robin was about to dash out of the room, the common room doors opened. Beast Boy strode in, carrying a few bags in his hands. Beast Boy dumped the bags unceremoniously onto the kitchen table and breathed in relief.

"Beast Boy?" Robin asked cautiously.

Beast Boy whipped his head up in surprise, "Huh? Oh, Robin dude, you're up."

"What's happening? Where are the other Titans?" Robin asked.

Beast Boy stared at Robin, "Uh, did you hit your head or something? They took a leave, remember? Raven and Starfire went back home and Cyborg went to visit-"

"-Titans East."Robin finished. He rubbed his head tiredly, "Now I remember. And then I saw you drinking Raven's tea and we were fighting in the training room. And then what?"

Beast Boy fidgeted nervously. Oh shit. What do I tell him? Wait! He didn't remember everything. So maybe I can 'improvise'. Beast Boy smirked internally.

"Well, uh…after that there was a crime alert! And we fought …uh…Plas-no, I mean Cinderblock! Yeah, Cinderblock! And he knocked you out! Then I finished him off and sent you back here!" Beast Boy said nervously.

Robin made a disbelieving snort. "Oookay, I know I didn't remember everything, but even I know that Cinderblock can't do this." Robin said gesturing to a scratch on his arm.

A sweat formed on Beast Boy's face. "I-I mean it was a mountain lion! It was so big and huge that it looked like Cinderblock!" Beast Boy said frantically, wringing his hands together.

"A mountain lion. In Jump City?" Robin asked skeptically.

"Uh, yeah! It escaped from Jump City zoo! It was destroying everything!" Beast Boy said dramatically, waving his hands in the air.

"Destroying everything? I would think that a mountain lion would be attacking people and not so much destroying 'everything'." Robin said, narrowing his eyes.

"It was! Uh, I mean the attacking people part. It just destroyed a part of the city. So it was kinda 'everything' in that part of the city. Heh heh."

Robin looked suspiciously at Beast Boy for a moment then he sighed. "Alright. As unbelievable as that story is, I believe you." To a certain degree. Even I know mountain lions can't destroy high-tech buildings, Robin added the last part in his head.

Beast Boy sighed in relief and then he noticed something. "Dude! You shouldn't have removed your bandages! Some of them are infected!"

"What? Infected?" Robin asked, confused.

"Uh, yeah! The mountain lion bit you on the arm. So you don't know what kind of diseases you might have now." Beast Boy answered.

Robin looked closely at his arm and realized it was swelling slightly. "And I thought he was making up the 'mountain lion' story." Robin muttered.

"You should go back to the infirmary and bandage it up. At least you left the bandage on your chest. " Beast Boy said, sorting out the contents of his shopping bags.

"Yeah. My chest hurts the most."

"I think that I …uh… I mean the mountain lion cracked a few of your ribs." Beast Boy said, smiling sheepishly.

"That explains a lot. Where did you go just now?" Robin asked.

"To the supermarket to buy some of my delicious tofu." Beast Boy replied, gazing at his tofu like a god.

"Uhh, right. By the way, how long was I out for?" Robin asked.

Beast Boy frowned slightly, trying to remember. "Umm, I'll say almost a day."

Robin's eyes widened. "A DAY! Did any villains attack? Did Slade attack? Did Dr. Light break out of jail? Were there any emergencies? How did-"

Beast Boy put up his hands. "Dude, chill! Everything's fine! There wasn't any crime since last week! All of the villains are locked up safely in jail. And Slade hasn't been seen since Trigon! Well, mostly."

Robin nodded slowly. "O-okay. Wait, what did you mean by the last part? You've seen Slade?"

"No! Of course not!" Beast Boy replied a little too quickly. Well, I'm not exactly lying, Beast Boy thought, remembering the 'little' incident back at the old carnival.

"Right. I'm going to check the Titans computer, just in case." Robin said, in full leader obsession mode.

"Dude, I already told you that there hasn't been any crime. That also means no Slade!" Beast Boy said in annoyance.

Robin ignored Beast Boy and continued checking the computer for any crimes and news.

Beast Boy glared at Robin, or rather, the back of his head.

"Stick in the ass." Beast Boy said, almost inaudibly before walking to his room.

"I heard that!" Robin called back.
