"Yes," said Beast Boy. He glanced down at Katie bloody head and started walking again. Cy followed him.
"How do you know who Katie is?" BB asked, looking straight ahead.
"Dude, you talk in your sleep. Plus you slip up sometimes. every once in a while you say how Katie would love this or like that."
"I do not... Do I really do that sometimes?" Beast Boy blushed slightly. "How often?"
"I don't know exactly how often, I only hear you talk in your sleep every once in a while when I want a midnight snack." Cy replied, brushing it off.
"oh..."
They walked up to the medical room door. It slid opened automatically and they stepped inside. Beast Boy walked over to the closest cot and set Katie down and turned to Cyborg.
"I'll take a look at her head, and I'm sure Starfire would be happy to lend her some cloths. she looks like she could fit in her cloths." Cyborg walked up to the computer and pulled out a couple of monitor pads.
"Okay, but I'll be back soon." Beast Boy turned and walked out of the room. He walked down the hall thinking about what happened over the past thirty minutes. He felt as if he would jump and run and sing at the top of his lungs, but then he thought about how Katie was hurt ans sobered up.
He arrived at Starfire's room and knocked twice. She opened the door and smiled "hello Beast Boy, are you in want of the company?" "Oh, hey Star. No I was just wondering if you had an outfit you could let my friend borrow." "Of course! Any friend that is Beast Boy's is a friend that is mine!" She flew over to her closet and pulled out a carefully selected outfit and flew back to Beast Boy standing in her doorway.
"Here you go Beast Boy, I am hopeful that she enjoys wearing the color of purple!" "I'm sure that she will, thanks Star." "You are very the welcome Beast Boy! Present your friend with my greetings!"
"Sure thing Star." Beast Boy turned and began walking back to the Medical room.
He looked down at the clothes Starfire had given him. A purple tank top and jeans clung loosely to a hanger. He nodded approvingly. He paused before walking inside and over to Katie's bedside. her hair was wet and clean. she was still unconscious and she had two pads attached to her, one on her neck, and one on her upper arm.
The computer was showing the reading picked up by the pads. cyborg walking in and over to Beast Boy. "So, uh," Cyborg cleared his throat. "She is still out cold... so, um...maybe you should get Star or Raven to, um, clean her up." Cy looked over to the side and shuffled his feet. "Why-" Beast Boy paused "oh...right, could you go get her? Maybe Raven, she is less, exuberant." "Right." Cyborg walked out Beast Boy sat down in a chair next to Katie's cot. He took Katie's hand in his own and watched her face. every once in a while her eyes would squeeze shut tight. Beast Boy just watched her face for several minutes until suddenly her entire body tensed up and her forehead creased. She began to toss from side to side and suddenly she cried out as if in pain. Beast Boy jumped to his feat and put his hand on her forehead. "Katie?! It's fine I'm here, you're fine." He frantically looked her over trying to see if she was truly in any pain.
When he spoke to her, she stopped tossing and calmed down. Beast Boy sighed and was about to sit back down when Raven walked in and gave him a skeptical look.
"Cyborg said you needed me for a 'girl thing'. I think that when it comes to that category, Starfire would be more fit for the job." She said looking at him with and unchanging expression.
"Well, actually, Starfire would be a little to exciting." Beast Boy glanced down at Katie and then back to Raven. Raven followed his gaze.
"Who is she?" Raven asked, but it sounded more like a statement.
"Her name is Katie, and she is asleep pretty soundly, and I got her some fresh cloths, but she isn't waking up anytime soon, so I was wondering if you-"
Raven's black energy enveloped the clothes in Beast Boy's hands and then enveloped Katie. When the energy receded, Katie was in Star's spare cloths and Katie's dirty outfit was on the hanger in BB's hand.
"Thanks Raven-" "Whatever" Raven opened up her book and walked out reading.
Cyborg walked back in and over to the computer. He looked at a few screens and flipped a switch.
"Katie should just sleep through the night if no one wakes her up. I don't think we should introduce Robin and them to her until she is coherent." Cy turned back to BB "I doubt that anyone will come in here, but I'll make sure they don't. I think you should stay here in case she wakes up."
"Alright, she was always a sound sleeper, the world could be ending and she wouldn't wake up." Beast Boy smiled.
"I still think it would be a good idea though. This screen here," Cy pointed to a small dial "monitors her brain activity. because she just had a rather traumatic experience, if this dial starts to beep, then you should wake her up. She might be having an un-necessary nightmare."
"Okay, see you in the morning Cyborg."
"Night BB" y left the room and turned off the lights. Beast Boy pulled the chair over to the wall and leaned his head back. he closed his eyes and was asleep in seconds.
Beast Boy woke up suddenly. the monitor was beeping rapidly and the dial was straining to the end on the red zone. The room was bright, and for a moment Beat Boy couldn't figure out where the light was coming from. Then he saw it. Katie's back was arching and her hands were clenched into fists. That wasn't what caught BB's attention though. Katie had rays of bright yellow light streaming from where her eyelids met, and her entire body was glowing faintly yellow.
She tossed from side to side curling in on herself. Beast Boy jumped up and ran to her side.
"Katie! Katie! wake up!" Beast Boy cried shaking her shoulders. Her eyes flew open and for a moment they were only bright yellow lights, (Like the way Starfire's get, but not green) The room got brighter for a moment and then dimmed as she calmed down. she gasped and went and jerked in shock. She squeezed her eyes tightly closed as if she were afraid of what she would see if she opened them.
"please," she whispered "please don't, not again"
Beast Boy looked down at her face "Katie, open your eyes, your safe, I'm here, I'm here." he sat down on the bed and pulled her onto his lap, cradling her to his chest.
She opened her eyes cautiously and looked ate Beast Boy's face. Her eyes widened and she pushed back from him. Beast Boy looked at her questioningly.
"What's the matter? Are you hurt? Cyborg looked you over and he said you were fine." Beast Boy said, worried.
"Beast Boy... How?-" She started, but her eyes welled up and she leaned in and clung to his shirt and began to shake, sobbing quietly. Beast Boy held her to him, concerned. He just held her like that for a while.
"I'm...sorry..."she gasped between sobs "I'm... fine...I'm just... freaking out... give me... a minute."
"It's fine Katie, you've been through a lot, just let it out." Beast Boy rubbed her back soothingly.
After a while she calmed down and began breathing normally.
"I'm sorry, I'm just... surprised." Katie said pulling back slightly to look at Beast Boy "But, you're with the Teen Titans now, I thought you forgot about me like I meant you to."
Beast Boy looked shocked "why would you want me to forget about you? You were, are, my best friend'
"I'm sorry if I hurt you by leaving, but I just thought you would be better off without me." she glanced away from him before looking back at his face.
"No! I was not better off, I did okay, but I always thought about you. I worried that something awful had happened to you."
"Well, nothing wonderful happened to me, but I was not to horribly off." She said in a quiet voice, not meeting Beast Boy's eyes.
Beast Boy decided against asking her more about it. He pulled her closer to him and said "What matters now is that we're together, and I won't let you run away from me again,"
she smiled "I don't think that I want to run away again," she looked at his face "I missed you so much."
He smiled "Good, because I would track you down and make you stay." He smiled again "how about you get some sleep and I can introduce you to everyone in the morning."
"Okay," she smiled and climbed back so she was lying down again. "night"
Beast Boy moved back to his chair "Good night"
he closed his eyes then opened them again "oh, one more thing,"
"mhm?"
"Starfire sends her greetings"
The last thing Beast Boy remembers before falling asleep was Katie smiling.
