Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans

RobRae5000: No probably. I'm happy my writting seems consistent. That's something I work hard at acomplishing. You'll have to read this chapter to see if there are any twists . . .

Hyperness: Thanks. The treat is my fav part of that chapter.

DarkRoseDevon: Thanks!

sparklyscrunchies: Yeah . . . difficult moment. No only could his best friend die, but she's also the love of his life.

EssencePrincess: I would never make a story so . . . boring as for her to instantly become better don't worry. I have plans for this story . . . he he he (laughs wickedly)

liliac gurl: I though the band-aid was good comical relief. She probably would not be angry . . . then again . . . it is Raven

718darkstar: Thanks. I try to make some things factual if possilbe I'm happy you are enjoying the story so far.

Everyone was walking around the towers as if their beast friend was dead . . . well perhaps it was because Raven was slowly dying. Sure, Cyborg had given her the medication . . . but that would take time. Everyone was happy that none of the other symptoms had show up . . . like nightmares because Raven's were always unspeakably horrific. Robin sat at the kitchen table with everyone but Starfire, who was staying with Raven. He longed to return to her side, but Cyborg had insisted that they needed a break . . . it had been a whole day after all since Raven's collapse. Cyborg and Beast Boy were silently shoveling spoonfuls of cereal into their mouth and seemed not to even taste what they were eating. Breakfast at the Tower was usually their biggest meal . . . and generally the only one they had together as a whole team. However, no one had the heart to cook and there were no arguments over real meat or tofu meat. Robin looked down at his untouched cereal that was now soggy. Sighing, he got up and dumped the bowl's contents down the drain.

"Beast Boy . . . did you and Star get any sleep last night?" Robin asked of the changeling. Beast Boy paused from his eating and regarded his leader as if he were crazy.

"Yeah . . . some. Why?" he asked clearly lying. Robin ran his finger through his hair and realized he needed a shower.

"Cyborg . . . go get some sleep. It's critical that you rest since you are the medic. I'm going to take a quick shower and then I want you to go back to sleep too Beast Boy. We have to keep up our strength since if there is an alarm we will be two titans down since someone has to stay with Raven. However, before you sleep could you check and make sure Star is okay with Raven, Beast Boy?" Robin asked. The smaller green titan nodded before heading towards the medical room.

"You have to rest too, Robin." Cyborg declared as he placed his bowl and Beast Boy's in the sink.

"I won't be able to so long as she's like that. That's why if anything happens in the city I will stay behind with Raven. Other then yourself, I'm the only one with any medical training and soon I'll be useless on the battlefield and a liability to the team in a fight. When I'm at the Tower with Raven . . . you are in charge," Robin told Cyborg and left the kitchen before he could hear any replies Cyborg may have.

Once in his room Robin got straight to work . . . the quicker he showered the faster he could be with Raven. Pulling off his uniform he jumped into a cold shower using the temperature to snap him out of his slight sleepy daze. He finished quickly and got out wrapping a towel around his waist. She had seemed fine when he picked her up from the airport . . . now . . . she was lying in the medical room fighting for her life. If he had not pushed her away then . . . Robin sighed. Worrying about might haves and what ifs we not going to change a damn thing. Robin smiled thinking back to at time when Raven had told him that 'worrying was useless. It never gets anything done'. That was probably her favorite word . . . useless. Raven used it quite frequently.

Robin emerged from his room not in his uniform, but rather a comfortable pair of black basketball shorts and a red tee-shirt. His mask of course was still on his face . . . he never took it off . . . except in the shower. He headed straight for the medical room deep in thought. Even though he knew he shouldn't . . . worry plagued his mind. What if the villains heard about Raven's condition . . . the team was weakened by her absence and with him standing out of the fighting things were even worse. He paused by the door listening to Starfire talking softly to Raven.

"Remember the day we went to the mall of shopping and I did not know what the rooms of dressing were and proceeded to try on the clothes in the center point of the store?" she said. Robin felt a brief smile reach his lips. He could imagine Raven's expression upon seeing her female teammate start stripping in a clothes store. He knocked softly on the door frame before entering. Star looked up and gave him a half-felt smile.

"Star . . . I'll take over from here why don't you go get some rest." Robin told her.

"I am not in need of the sleep . . . but I think some pudding of sorrow will settle my stomach," she told him before flying out. Robin grimaced at the thought of one of Star's concoctions. He sat down in the chair that Star had previously occupied and took Raven's hand. Her skin felt warm to the touch; therefore, Robin quickly took her temperature. She had a low grade fever . . . Robin rummaged around the medical room and finally found something to help her fever. He injected it into her IV before sitting down again and grabbing her hand.

"Raven . . . I don't know if you can hear me, but fight this. You're strong and I know if you fight you'll pull through. The team needs you . . . I need you," he explained to her sleeping form. At this point in a movie, the guy would kiss the girl and she would miraculously awake. Thinking he had nothing to lose, Robin leaned down towards Raven's face. Her slow steady breathing tickled his face as his lips pushed against her's with the slightest touch. Pulling back Robin examined Raven . . . seeing no changed he sighed. It had been worth a try.

"No," Raven mumbled softly in her sleep. Robin leaned in close as Raven's forehead crinkled and she frowned. A throaty groan emitted from her lips followed by a slow shake of her head. Robin sat perfectly still unsure of what to do.

"No, you can't." she called out slightly louder. Robin placed his hand against her cheek and whispered soothing words into her ear.

"Shhh . . . I'm here, Raven. You're alright," he told her. The nightmares were starting. Robin contemplated whether or not he should restrain her. He glanced around looking for some form of restrains. The second his back was turned Raven screamed. Then she was thrashing out and clawing at what ever her hands made contact with, which happened to be Robin.

"No! I won't let you kill them!" she screamed digging her long nails into Robin's bear arm.

"Starfire! Some one help!" Robin yelled. A split second later Robin heard a loud explosion and the Tower shook violently. Things fell and crashed around the medical room and Robin used his body to cover Raven, protecting her. Another explosion caused the electricity to go out. A moment of dead silence proceeded followed by a scream from somewhere within the Tower. It was a feminine scream . . . Star's scream.

Ooh . . . cliffie! I have not done one of those in a while. I have a question though . . . when you read the movie part . . . did you think for a second that I was going to have her wake up? He he . . . I hope it lightened the chapter a little bit. Things are moiving along a little depressing, but I promise action in the future . . . maybe. Lol. You'll just have to wait and see. Um . . . just so you know I'm going to take s short break from writting . . . perhaps. You know catch up on hw and get a little rest and sleep. Anyways, thanks for reviewing and keep it up!
