I Do Not Own Danny Phantom or Teen Titans

Chapter 31 - Back in the Medical Wing.

Danny's POV

Beep...beep...beep...beep...

Uhgg, the hell is that anyoing sound? I groggily asked myself, my eyes closed against the bright lights assaulting my eyes. I was so tired and comfortable that I hardly even wanted to move. But that blasted beeping sound was keeping me awake, when all I wanted to do was sleep. I was badly tempted to blast whatever was making that anyoing noise to pieces with an ecto-blast.

But I was too tired to move.

But after a while of listening to the steady, but irritating beeping sound, I tried to move my arm to fire an ecto-blast in the direction it was coming from, but my arm felt heavy as led. I tried to move my other arm, but that too felt heavy. Confused, I started to panic at bit at being unable to move my body. What if I were to be attacked? How would I defend myself?

Beep...beep...beep...beep...beep...

The anoying beeping sound started to pick up its pace a little, becoming slightly more erratic.

I heard something else move in the room as well, shuffling around. I tried to swallow, but it felt strange. It felt like something was in my throat, making it very uncomfortable to move my throat muscles.

I would have jump a good 5 feet into the air if I was capable of moving any part of my body, when I felt something warm but hard and smooth, press against my forehead. The touch was quickly followed by a familiar voice.

"Danny, relax! You're safe."

Cyborg? I tried to say his name, but whatever was shoved down my throat was preventing me from making any sound.

Beep...beep...beep...beep...

The noise slowed back down to its original pace. That was followed by a sigh of what sounded like relief from Cyborg.

I pried my eyelids open, wanting- no -needing to know what what going on around me. At first everything was just a blur of colors, but as I blinked my eyes a few times, everything started to come into focus and became more coherent shapes and figures. I first saw Cyborg's face peering down at me with a small smile.

"Glad to see you okay, Danny." Cyborg said. "You gave all of us quite a scare. We all thought you were a goner." he said sounding extremely tired and releived.

I tried to ask what he meant, and why my throat felt so weird, or couldn't move my body. But I couldn't speak at all right now. It kind of pissed me off. I looked down to see what was wrong with me, only to see a few wires and needles attached to me and leading to various machines. I followed a trail of wires to a monitor beside the bed, watching as a series of lines jumped and pulses every few seconds. The beeping sound was in sync with the pulsing.

A heart monitor.

I let my eyes roam around the room, realizing with surprise and even more confusion, that I was in the Medical Wing of the Tower. I looked over at Cyborg with confusion. If I could talk, I would be demanding what the hell was going on.

Cy must have read my mind - or expression - because he rubbed the back of his head with a gentle smile. "Sorry about the inability to talk...I ended up have to put a breathing tube down you're throat during the surgery because you breathing was uneven and you were having a hard time breathing because of all the ectoplasm in your throat." He told me sheepishly. "And I also wouldn't try moving around, because I also had to put you on some anthistetics and a small dose of seditatives. Just enough to keep you form moving around until you injury heals up."

I blinked with confusion, my mind still a bit slow in processing what he was saying, but when what he said sunk in, I looked down again to see the clear tube he was talking about coming from my mouth leading to another machine on the other side of the bed. The pump collapsed and expanded, releasing oxygen into my lungs.

I looked back at Cy, with puzzlement. He noticed my expression and stared with me with shock at first. "You don't remember what happened?"

I hesitated for a few seconds, trying to despritly dig up whatever memory I was suppose to have, but when I came up empty handed, I gave him and small, bearly audible, shake of my head.

Cy sighed softly and sat down in the chair next to the bed, his expression now, somewhat sad. "That's not surprising. The mind has a natural defense that will shut out painful memories. Vlad got you really good." He said that last part as a whisper, to where if I didn't have ghostly inhanced sences, I wouldn't have heard it.

Vlad? He was here?

Cyborg must have seen my panicked expression because he quickly raised his hands in a calming gesture." It's okay, man! He has been captured and has...uh...been taught a lesson by Raven. No need to worry." he said with an amused smile.

I slowly relaxed my body. I knew for a fact that if Raven had 'taught Vlad a lesson' then I was safe. In fact, I felt safe around all of the Titans.

I felt so tired, but I didn't what to go to sleep. not yet. I wanted to know what had happened to me. I shifted my gaze to Cy's, putting the best begging look I could for him to tell me what happened.

Cyborg looked a bit unsure and confused at my look, not knowing what I was asking for. It irritated me, making me wish that this stupid tube was gone so that I could talk. It took a few moments, but he finally realized what I was asking. "Oh! You what to know what happened!" He stated looking a bit embressed.

I have a slight nod of my head, the best I could while behind unable to move my body.

Cyborg looked hesitant before looking across the room at something I couldn't see. I blink slowly, as Cyborg slowly got up and walked out of my line of sight. I would have called out to him, and ask him to come back, but I couldn't. A few misserible seconds later, Cyborg walked back into my field of vision and walked over to me.

"Does this look familiar to you in any way?" He asked, holding something up. I looked at what he was carefully holding in his hands to see a dagger, the blade covered in a green substance that reminded me of blood.

Cold, green ecto-blood splattering the floor under my weakening body.

I creased my eyebrows with thought, at the feeling and the strange flash back. I could feel the memory brushing against the top of my mind, but I couldn't quite grasp hold of it or understand it. I gave a small shake of my head.

Cyborg's eye brows creased with confusion. "Do you remember your fight with Vlad? Or the deal you made with Slade?"

I remebered the deal with Slade...but not the fight with Vlad- wait a second...I closed my eyes and followed the memory of what had happened after I followed Slade into his underground lair.

Find out it was a trap.

Vlad showing up.

Our fight.

Me winning and celebrating our victory with the other titans.

But...from there on it gets a bit fuzzy. I can remember the glint of metal and pain. My name being yelled out from someone beside me.

Then waking up here.

I opened my eyes and look sadly up at Cyborg and half shook my head and half nodded. Meaning that I only remembered a little.

Cyborg sighed softly and placed the bloodly dagger on the bedside table. "I guess that the best we can hope for. The rest of the memory will probably come with time." He said with a gentle smile on his face before looking down at me. "Danny, I would like for you go get some more rest. You need to get as much anergy as you can."

But I didn't wan't to go back to sleep, I thought, almost sounding like a small child, even though my body practically begged for me to close my eyes and relax, and another part of me knew that Cyborg was right. I was going to need my energy. I sighed and reluctantly nodded my head.

Cyborg walked to the door leaving me to rest in peace as I let my eyes slide close, sinking back into the world of dreamless sleep.
