Sadly, I don't own the Teen Titans
Heartbeat?
With all the Titans working together, the search for Raven was going much faster. ''Yo! I found her!'' Cyborg shouted as the rest of the Titans ran over to him. He held Raven's limp figure in his arms. The rest of them gathered around her. ''Get her back to the tower'' Robin said to Cyborg, upon seeing she was bleeding heavily. There was blood gushing at her neck, where the collar had been, and she had several bruises on her stomach and legs. Her clothes had been torn. ''Don't you think the hospital would be faster?'' Starfire asked. ''Get her to the tower '' Robin repeated, hoping she would even make it to the tower alive.
''Starfire, carry Raven'' Robin instructed the alien. ''Beast Boy, carry Cyborg and I'' he said to the changeling. Beast Boy turned into a pterodactyl and grabbed Cyborg and Robin in his clawed feet. Then they headed towards the tower.
Titans Tower
The Titans rushed into the infirmary and laid Raven down onto the bed. Cyborg grabbed gaze wrap and bandages. The first thing they needed to do was to get her to stop bleeding. Cyborg wrapped the gaze and bandages around her neck and the many cuts on her body. He also wrapped bandages around her stomach, signaling that her ribs were damaged. He gave her an I.V and checked for a heartbeat. Next, he walked over to his many computers and scanners. The Titans held their breath as Cyborg checked. They heard nothing and they saw no sign of life from the empath. They hung their heads sadly, but then a small beep grabbed their attention. Robin rushed over to the bed and looked down at her. She didn't move, but she was breathing. He looked over to Cyborg, who was checking several scanners.
''She's got a few broken ribs and she's lost a lot of blood. Other than that, she's lost lots of her memory. But there's a slight chance she'll wake up remembering everything. Even before Slade erased her memory'' Cyborg explained. ''But there's also a chance she'll wake up with no memory at all. Right now, there's a slim chance she will even wake up at all.'' He added, sorrow lacing his words.
''So, right now there's nothing we can do to help her?'' Beast Boy asked. ''Right now, we have to find someone who's got the same blood type as her'' Cyborg said. ''And if I'm right, Robin does have the same blood type'' he added. ''Can we go on and do that? It's what she needs'' Robin said, hoping she would wake up soon, or at all. The small beeps got slower, worrying the Titans even more. ''I think we should go on and give her the blood'' Starfire said, breaking the silence. ''Alright'' Cyborg said, nodding at Robin. ''You guys go to bed'' Robin said, wanting to hurry and give Raven the blood she needed. The two Titans cooperated and walked out of the infirmary, leaving Robin and Cyborg to do the blood draw.
Robin sat in a chair as Cyborg placed a needle in his arm. He didn't even flinch, being too deep in thought and worried about Raven. Cyborg took the blood needed and walked over to Raven's pale and unconscious body. He gently gave the blood to her. Then he and Robin walked out without a word, going to bed. About a minute after they left, Raven's body started to float, slowly healing itself.
Someone watched from the window. Someone bent on revenge towards the Titans and the half demon.
The Next Day
Robin was the first to awake out of all the Titans. He couldn't sleep, for worry consumed him. He walked to the infirmary. He headed over to the comatose empath. He slightly smiled upon seeing her floating and healing. The monitor gave a series of regular heartbeats. She seemed fine, other than her slight injuries. She had a few holes at her neck, bandaged, of course, along with other cuts and bruises.
Raven stirred slightly, grabbing the Boy Wonder's attention. Then, her heartbeat sped up, the beats becoming closer together. Robin's heart did the same. This only amplified his worry. Robin gently shook her, and her eyes slowly opened. Her heartbeat slowed down back to it's regular beat.
''Ugh'' Raven said, pain shooting through her. She looked up into Robin's face and he smiled. She gave him a look he couldn't quite figure out. ''Raven? Are you okay?'' he asked, even though he already knew the answer. Before she responded, she sat up and kissed him. Robin's eyes widened, then slowly closed as he melted into the kiss. Once they stopped, Raven finally answered his question. ''Never better'' she said with a slight smile. ''So, you remember everything?'' Robin asked her. ''Yeah'' she said as she averted her eyes to the floor. ''I'm sorry'' she added. ''Wait!'' she said in a panicked voice, her eyes widening. ''The bomb!'' she said urgently. ''Alright, you stay here, I'll get the others'' he said.
Raven nodded as she thought everything over. Several images flashed through her mind. Images of her and Slade sparring, of her fighting him with the Titans, stealing xenothium, an explosion…. at this point she was sweating. She tried to stand up, but her damaged ribs stopped her from doing so. She used her mind to do a sweep of the tower, searching for the bomb. And she found it hooked to the Titan main computer in the common room. She found her communicator right next to her and picked it up. She called Robin and waited for him to answer.
''Yeah, Raven?'' he asked her. ''I know where the bomb is'' she informed him. ''Where?'' he asked. ''The Titan computer'' she said. ''Alright'' he said as he nodded. ''I'll get the rest of the Titans and….'' He was going to say 'meet you there' but upon remembering why she was in the infirmary, he didn't. Raven sighed. ''I can heal myself'' she said, giving him a 'duh' look. ''And you have the strength to do so?'' Robin questioned her. She nodded. ''I'll meet you there in a few minutes'' she said then hung up. She held her hand to her ribs and they started their faint blue glow.
With Robin
Robin walked around the tower, stopping at Cyborg's door. He knocked and heard metal clangs and a yawn. Soon, the door opened and Cyborg stood there, looking tired and a little irritated.
''Man, why did you have to wake me up so early?'' he asked Robin. ''Raven's awake'' Robin said. ''Yep, that's our Raven'' Cyborg said as he gave a small smile. ''But a bomb is in the tower and we need you to defuse it'' he told Cyborg. Cyborg nodded. ''Do we know where it is?'' he asked, thinking Robin was obviously missing the first step in the plan to defuse it. ''Raven does'' he answered. ''And how is she going to come with us?'' he asked him. ''She can heal herself'' Robin said. ''Round up the others, we'll meet you there'' he said, then ran off to find Raven.
With Raven
Raven finished healing her ribs, then her hands traveled up to her neck. Upon touching it, she hissed in pain and jerked her hand away from the offended area. She sighed, then gently raised both her hands to her neck. She started to heal herself and soon she was better. She didn't waste time with cuts and bruises, but instead she teleported to her room. She put on her usual black leotard, gold and ruby belt, and blue cloak. She looked at the torn remains of the apprentice suit. 'I'll burn that later' she said to herself.
Raven walked out of her room and into the common room. She was the first one there. She walked over to the Titan computer and took off the bolts to where it was all connected. She looked at the bomb. It hadn't been set, so they had all the time in the world to defuse it. Unless Slade was still alive, which wasn't a very high chance.
''Hello, Raven'' a voice said from behind her. She turned to see who it was and gasped.
''You!'' Raven said pointing a finger accusingly at the one she thought to be dead. ''In the flesh'' Slade said.
Cliff hanger! Duh duh duh! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! No flames please!
