Trip to Hawaii
Starfire was carrying Robin in the air while trying to avoid the huge stampeding crowd below them. "Where shall we fly to, Robin?" asked Starfire. "As long as I'm far away from being trampled by a bunch of crazies, I'm fine with anywhere," he replied. Both flew for another 10 minutes trying to ditch the crowd, but they just kept following. "Don't these people ever give up?" asked Robin. It wasn't long before they were flying above the beach with the crowd still hot on their trail. While Starfire looked around for a place away from the crowd, she saw 2 figures on the ground. One was dragging the other, who seemed unconscious, out of the water and onto the shore. Upon closer observation, she saw that the 2 figures were none other than Raven carrying an unconscious Beast Boy out of the water. Starfire put her hands over her mouth and gasped. "Oh Robin, Beast Boy is unconscious! We must help him!" she screamed. Starfire heard nothing from Robin. "Robin?" she asked. Suddenly, she realized that her hands were empty. She also remembered that she was still flying in mid-air. She immediately went wide-eyed and was only able to say, "Oops." Starfire looked down and saw Robin being completely surrounded by the group. All Robin could say was, "Aw, crud." He was immediately jumped by all of the fans in the group. "STAR!! HELP ME!!" he screamed over the crowd. "Excuse me," she said to the crowd. "Can you please back away from my friend?" No one responded. She tried it again a little louder. "I ask again, can you please back away from my friend?" Again, no response. Starfire took a deep breath and screamed, "BACK AWAY FROM ROBIN, PLEASE!!" Practically getting the whole beach's attention, the crowd backed away from a scrape and bruised covered Robin. Starfire walked over to Robin and picked him up. "My sincerest apologies, Robin," said Starfire. "You are not injured are you?" Robin looked at Starfire, and chuckled. "Surprisingly not. Thanks for the help." Starfire smiled, but then suddenly remembered Beast Boy. "Oh, friend Robin, I just saw Raven dragging Beast Boy out of the salty water! We must go help him immediately!" She grabbed his arm went towards their 2 comrades.
Raven dragged Beast Boy about 10 feet away from the water before she finally lay him down. The first thing she did was check to see if he was breathing. She put her ear close to his mouth and heard nothing. She knew what she had to do. She opened his mouth and said, "Beast Boy, you'd better be unconscious for real." She put her mouth to his and started to perform CPR. At this time, Robin and Starfire had just arrived. "Raven, how is he?" asked Robin. After breathing a few breaths into Beast Boy, Raven replied. "I'm performing CPR on him! How do you think he is?!" she screamed. "Sorry, I'm just asking," replied Robin. Just as Raven was about to breathe into Beast Boy again, Starfire screamed, "Raven! Beast Boy has something in his hair!" Raven looked. She noticed a small section of red in his green hair and recognized it as blood. "Robin, quick!" screamed Raven. "Check his head and make sure it's nothing major! Starfire call for an ambulance!" While Starfire used Robin's phone to call an ambulance, Robin knelt down and checked Beast Boy's head. Beast Boy had a small gash where his head hit the side of the side of the ship. "Raven, Beast Boy has a 2 inch gash on his head," he said. "Robin, use something to cover his wound, quickly!" commanded Raven. Since Robin didn't have much around, he used his shirt covered Beast Boy's gash while Raven continued her CPR cycle on him. Starfire hung up the phone and said, "Friend Raven, the ambulance people say they shall arrive in 10 minutes." "Good," she replied, and then she went back to reviving Beast Boy. "Come on, don't you dare die on me, BB," she said to herself. She tried it one more time. Suddenly, Beast Boy started gagging and water came out of his mouth. Beast Boy started to breathe again.
Raven let out a sigh of relief and looked down at Beast Boy as he opened his eyes. "What happened?" he asked. All Raven could do after all that happened was hold him close and cry, causing a nearby lamp to explode. "Hey, what's wrong, Raven?" he asked, completely ignoring the small explosion. Raven got a hold of herself to avoid anymore exploding lamps and told him, "Nothing. Everything's okay now." Beast Boy felt a strong pain in his head. "Aw man. Why does my head hurt so much?" "Don't worry about that," said Raven. "Just rest right now." "Heh, with this kind of headache I'm not entirely sure I can do that," he said. After 10 minutes, the ambulance finally showed up and drove Beast Boy to the Kuakini Hospital while the others remained on the beach. "Should we go with him?" asked Starfire. "Yeah, let's go," said Raven. Before they left, Robin grabbed his blood stained shirt and slipped it back on. After asking for directions, they all headed for the hospital. On the way, they saw a sign in front of a buffet restaurant saying, 'Temporarily closed due to shortage of food and foul odor'. Robin sighed and said, "I think I can guess who's responsible for this." Suddenly the door opened and out came exactly who Robin was talking about. "Eh, hi guys," said Cyborg. "You just never learn, do you numbskull?" said Raven. All Cyborg could do was blush in embarrassment. "I must agree with Raven," said Starfire. "You are indeed a skull that is numb." "Come on, you bottomless pit," said Robin. "Beast Boy was in an accident, and we're going to the hospital to check on him."
When the team reached the hospital and asked to see Beast Boy, they were told to wait in the lobby for a little bit. Almost an hour had passed and all were worried. Especially Raven. She just hoped that she wasn't too late in saving him. "Please be okay, Beast Boy," she thought. Suddenly, a doctor came into the lobby. Raven was the first to go over to him. "How is he? Is he okay?" she asked. "He'll be just fine, though he did have to take a few stitches for his wound. I would advise him to look where he's going in the future if I were you. "You could tell that kid a bunch of times to do that and he still won't listen," Cyborg joked. "He should be okay to leave today," said the doctor. "You can go see him now if you want. He's in room 57."
The team walked to Beast Boy's room and opened the door. They saw him sitting on the bed with a bandage wrapped around his head. "How're you feeling?" asked Robin. "Fine," said Beast Boy. "Aside from the fact my head feels like a hammer hit it." "Well, the doctor says you should be able to go home today," said Cyborg. "Good," said Beast Boy. "Not sure if I could handle a night in a hospital." "Oh yes," said Starfire. "It would be most unpleasant if you had to spend a lonely night inside this big medical building." Beast Boy looked over by the door and saw Raven just standing there with a sad look on her face. "Um, guys, can I get a few minutes alone with Raven, please?" asked Beast Boy. "Of course, dear friend," said Starfire. "Sure, pal," said Robin. "And miss a Kodak moment? I don't think so!" said Cyborg. "Out, Cyborg," said Beast Boy. Within seconds, Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg were out the door. Within seconds after that, Cyborg was back in the room. "Sorry, but I can't miss this," he said with a big smile. Suddenly, strong orange fingers snatched his ear and started pulling him. "OW STAR! YOU'RE PULLING MY EAR OFF!" "If you had just listened, I would not be pulling on your ear," she said. "Our friend demanded privacy with Raven, and so we shall give it to them." Starfire was finally out of the room with Cyborg, still screaming from the ear pulling.
Beast Boy looked over at Raven, who was still standing by the door. "You okay?" he asked. Raven looked up at him and let out a small chuckle. "I should be asking you that question," she said. Beast Boy laughed at her reply. "You just looked a little upset," he said. "So, are you okay?" he asked again. Raven walked over to the bed and sat beside him. The next thing she did surprised him: she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him like never before. This caused Beast Boy to blush so hard there was no green left on his face. "I thought we lost you for a second back on the beach," she said. "I don't know what I….. I mean we would do without you." Raven's words just made Beast Boy blush even more. "Uh, who are you and what've you done with Raven?" he asked. "Don't forget, you almost died not too long ago," she said. "Even someone with my usual attitude will start to act like this because of that." With that said, Beast Boy couldn't help but smile and hug Raven back. "So is hugging going to be a regular thing then?" he asked with a smile. "Don't push it," replied Raven. "Okay," he replied back. With that, the two stopped hugging and headed for the door. When Beast Boy walked out, Raven quietly said, "Don't push it….just yet."
Finally, after almost half a year, Chapter 26 is up. So so so so so so so so SOOOOOOOOO sorry. One other thing, my cousin, who helped me out a lot with this, brought up the question of why Raven didn't heal Beast Boy's head. So just in case other people are wondering the same thing she did, here are my reasons: One, if I just had her heal his head, then I basically wouldn't have this long a page. Two, I thought this would be better than a simple heal and help build Raven and Beast Boy's bond. Three, where's the fun in using healing powers and not have Raven actually try to save him? Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter. It's a little bit more away from the humor somewhat, but I think it's time for a few of those since all the individual stories were funny.
