Beast boy gasped for air as his eyes shot open. He looked around, he was in a medical bed, only in his boxers, there were some tubes leading into his arm and a heart rate monitor on his finger. He looked to the read out everything looked normal. Then everything hit him in in a wave, Raven and that creature, him giving into his inner beast, he saved Control Freak, Raven passing out, then everything went fuzzy. Raven! There was sheet drawn in the middle of the room. He stood up, but stopped when pain shot through his arm, he ripped out the monitoring equipment and threw back the screen.
Raven lay in a similar state, cables snaked under the blanket that was pulled up to her chest. From the sight of the straps on her shoulders she was still in her dress. He slowly reached out his hand to caress her cheek, she was sleeping peacefully. When he drew back his arm he realized he was bleeding, a lot. A small 'river' of blood flowed from the holes in his arm. He looked around for some clothes before realizing his clothes from that night were destroyed.
All of the sudden the door was thrown open and a whistling Cyborg walked in. "Hey man you're awake." He said with a cheery tone in his voice. "How you feeling? "
"Well I'm really confused. What happened after you knocked out Raven?"
Cyborg smiled then saw his arm and frowned. "Beast Boy did you rip out that monitoring equipment?"
"Ya, kinda panicked for a second and ripped them out." He rubbed the back of his neck and gave a sheepish smile.
Cyborg just shook his head, then rifled thru a nearby cabinet and came back with some gauze. "First things first let me wrap that arm. After I knocked out Rae you changed after me thinking I attacked her. Then you promptly got a dart in you and you passed out." He was wrapping his arm as he spoke. "After that we brought you Rae and Star back here. Control Freak is in jail. Star woke up an hour or two after we got back. It's been two days since then."
"WHAT!? We've been asleep for two whole days?!" Beast Boy shouted "shouldn't we have woken up in hours not days?"
"Relax, i made the darts especially for you. When you let out your inner beast its hard for you to control it. Its even harder for you to revert back, so i made the dart to knock you out and thusly return you back to your human state."
"So, shouldn't Raven be awake by now?" He looked over her unconscious body.
"She might be out for another day or two."
Beast Boy hung his head. "So, what did Robin think when he found out?" It was barely above a whisper.
"He doesn't mind. You guys are happy, and as long as you stay focused on the enemy when we're in combat, i don't think he'll care."
Beast Boy gave his best friend a smile. "Speaking of them, I probably should go talk to them. At least tell them i'm up."
"Good plan man. I'm going to do some monitoring of Ravens vitals for a while."
He slapped Beast Boy on the shoulder as he left, "and before you go, me and Robin agreed to not tell the girls what Control Freak said about bets. okay?"
"My lips are sealed." He smirked and stepped through the doorway. It didn't occur to him till he made it to the elevator that he was almost completely naked. Clothes first, then talk to Robin and Star.
With a fresh outfit on, he walked into the common room. Starfire sat alone on the couch watching some documentary on bugs as he walked in. "Hey Starfire, hows your head?" He called upon entering and taking a b line for the kitchen. He hadn't eaten in two days, he was hungry.
"Beast Boy! You are awake, that is very good news. I am fine, how are you feeling. Are you still drowsy from your tranquil sleep?" She bounced off the couch and ran for him, drawing him into one of her signature hugs that seemed to almost crush your bones.
"I'm fine Star! Please let go of me!" He screamed, he could feel his bones moving inside his body, and not in a good way. "Have you seen Robin, i think i need to talk to him."
"He is in the training room. Sorry for almost crushing your body."
"It's fine Star, thanks." He grabbed some random food from the fridge and walked out of the common room.
He stood in the doorway to the training room. Robin stood inside punching a wooden dummy. Beast Boy waited, eating as he did, for Robin to either finish or notice him. After a few more punches Robin must have heard him eating because he turned around. "Beast Boy you're awake! How do you feel?"
"Fine thanks, just hungry." He raised a bag of chips he was eating from to show he had it covered. "I wanted to apologies for being a here earlier. I guess it's been two days but I still mean it. I was mad, I shouldn't have taken it out on you."
"That's very noble Beast Boy. Not many people would admit their mistakes. Let along apologies for them." He crossed his arms and smiled. "About you and Raven..."
"I know I know I can't see her anymore."
"... what you did for her. You saved her from getting blood on her hands. I'm convinced Control Freak would be dead if you hadn't stopped that monster. And there is no way I can keep you two apart so who am I to say your not aloud to be together."
" Robin you're the beast leader and friend a guy could ask for."
"Thanks BB. Just remember two things, one take your anger out on bags not enemies." He pointed to the punching bag now remounted.
"Okay, and the second thing?"
"Keep it in your pants." They both laughed. But Beast Boys laughter was cut short when he realized he no longer had a chip bag in his hand.
"What happened to my chips?!" He shouted.
"Uh hem." Came from behind him. He spun around to see Raven standing behind him, holding his chips. "What? You don't want to share?" She cracked a grin.
"Raven!" They both cheered. Beast Boy stepped forward and pulled her into a hug.
The door hissed behind him. Robin must have closed it to give them some privacy. "Thank you. Cy told me what happened and what you did." She whispered into his ear.
"Anything for you Raven. Anything." He whispered back, then planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Is that all you got after what happened?"
"Not even close." He placed his lips on her and they kissed for what seemed like hours.
The End!
Yep, thats the end. I know i promised seven chapters but since i combined two chapters its a chapter shorter. This is how i wanted the story to end.
