"I think he won't be needing this anymore... WHAT THE-?!"
What was that voice?
He felt something on his face, blowing some kind of air into him, but that disappeared after a short while. He was so confused. One moment he saw black, the other he saw white.
"What is it Cyborg?!" "STAMP!"
Urh... too much noise...
His ears were ringing from thee outburst, but when he tried ordering his hands to move to his ears, nothing happened. How wouldn't he control his own body? Was he possessed? Overshadowed? He didn't know what was going on...
"He's.. he's healing himself at a supernatural rate! No one should be able to do that!"
Healing? Supernatural rate? What the heck was this voice talking about..?
So confusing. He was so irritated! Not only that he kept hearing strange voices inside his brain, but he had absolutely no control over his own body! A few seconds later, some sense knocked into him, as he remembered what happened to him in the past. Flashes entered his mind. A white room, screaming, green and red... and finally... suits. He remembered the room... he was tortured in was... colored white! Danny wanted to scream, but his body wouldn't let him.
"Is that the bad?"
No no no! I can't be in there! I shouldn't! I escaped! No!
Yet another voice. What if it belonged to one of the people who tried to kill him? What if he was about to go through the same thing that he was trying to avoid all this time. What if he actually failed?
"No... but it's impossible! At least it should be..."
Are those people mad that I'm healing myself...?
Danny wanted to get out of there. It was so confusing and irritating! He needs to get out of there!
"That's awesome, dude! That means the dude's strong!"
Urh could they get any louder?! Wait... that sounds nothing like an adult... nothing like THEM..
Danny knew for sure that they weren't the guys he was afraid of, but before he thought of who it could be, he started to feel his body again... which was aging in pain. Danny whimpered, but tried holding himself from screaming. On the bright side he felt his hands again.
"I don't know about that, Beastboy. Sorry, Cyborg, but we need to..."
Beastboy? Cyborg? What the heck is that? ... Beastboy sounds like a... name... some kind of weird name.. and.. isn't a cyborg a mechanical...? Urh this is driving me nuts!
Danny's ears stopped working after those few words, but every statement confuses him more and more. He was so sick and tired of not moving and talking to himself. He focused hard on hearing, to understand, or at least hope to understand.
"Well, I guess we have to wait for him to wake up.."
For who to wake up? ...oh right, me... wait, what if... I was... all dead! That's why I see white! GOSH! But... how can I hear those people..? Are they.. angels?
"I sure..."
Wait, what was that?
After about 10 minutes of silence and thinking, Danny still didn't know the answer..
...Am I really dead?
Raven sighed after her statement, holding her arms and looking down. She didn't know what to think. Should she trust that boy? Who was he anyways? Why did she feel like she has to protect him?
"I better get a glass of water.." She said to herself.
Robin threw a box inside his closet angrily. He didn't know what to make of all this. How can people working for the government torture someone like that? What has he even done?! He looks about fourteen! What trouble would a fourteen year old regular boy fall into?! Even if, being tortured?! Lab?!
Robin sank to his knees, panting hard, he then sat down, and put his hand on his head. After all those thoughts, he didn't know what to do anymore. Should he trust that boy? What if those guys were right about him being a menace? What if...?
Robin stopped himself from thinking of those observations. They were wrong and he knew so. He sighed as he stood up again, knowing that he should take a break. His door opened for him, and he stepped outside the dark room, heading for the kitchen. The door shut right after he exited, though, halfway there, he remembered Cyborg's discovery.
That boy healed himself at a supernatural rate.
What if he was a mutant? No, he couldn't be. He looks so normal. He can't be. Robins sighed as he made his way to the main room, only to meet Raven there, filling up a glass of water.
Meanwhile, BB and Cyborg never left Danny's side. Cyborg had to stay and organize the medicines for when the boy wakes up. Starfire left to feed Silkie, and Beastboy looked so bored that he started daydreaming, but not once he thought of going to play video games, eat a good tofu sandwich, or even take a nap! All his thoughts were about the battle they had. It was way too easy in his eyes, he knew something was up. He also thought that that boy was nothing close to ordinary. The fact that he was already scarred before that incident, and then that gun, and he's still alive. Not that he didn't like it, it was just... not usual.
Cyborg, on the other hand, was smiling the whole time. He was surprised, yes, but he was so glad that he made it. He couldn't bare lose someone he tried rescuing, because he'd feel the guilt.. it would strike him dead. It would be more painful than his whole... incident.
However, their thoughts were cut off when they heard groaning. Both looking up shocked, they turned their heads towards the boy, to see his eyes struggling to open, but with no avail.
"He's waking up.." Cyborg muttered to himself.
"Wow.." Was all BB said through his shock. That adds another reason to his conclusion.
"BB, go get Robin. Now." Cyborg ordered, running towards his computer and checking his files. Nodding, BB ran away towards Robin's bedroom, thinking that he would be there.
"Raven!" Robin gasped out. "What are you doing in my room?!"
"Umm.. we're in the main room.." Raven began in her monotone voice, "And as you can see, I'm getting me a drink."
"Oh.. sorry.." He went towards their small fridge and got a sandwich.
"What's wrong?" Raven found herself asking.
Robin stood up and took a bite, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I can sense your worry. Now spit it out."
"Fine... it's that boy.. I can't seem to understand why.. he's been through all this.."
"Believe me, Robin, I know. I don't understand either. However, I don't think we should worry about that now, and focus on if he's going to be okay or not.."
"You're right, Raven." He took another bite, "It's still so strange.. it can't be forgotten."
"But it can be postponed." She said quickly.
He sighed in defeat and said, "Fine.."
BB ran towards Robin's room, and stopped right in front of the door. He kept punching the door.
"Robin! Robin!" He called, "Hurry up open the door!"
Getting impatient, BB turned into a rhino and smashed the door open. He looked around, and found no one.
"Guess he's not here." Turning around, he was met by green eyes, which only belonged to Starfire. She was confused and was facing BB, he changed back to normal and looked at her.
"What is happening? Why did I hear of the crashing noise coming from Robin's room? Why are you in Robin's room?" She asked.
"Star, the boy is waking up, we have to go tell Robin."
Cyborg looked towards Danny, waiting for any other action, but received none.
What is taking BB so long? He asked himself.
Deciding to go himself, he rushed out the door and to the main room. "Robin!"
"So.. you're saying that..?" Robin questioned.
"That this isn't a regular case. I sensed a lot of energy inside him." Raven said simply.
"Robin!" Cyborg called, running towards them.
"What is it Cyborg?" Robin asked.
"He's waking up."
Raven and Robin's eyes met each other's, gaping.
"Let's go." Robin said, running towards the infirmary, followed by Raven and Cyborg.
"That is good news, right?" Star asked.
"Yeah, but Cy told me to get Robin, since he isn't in his room, he must be in the main room."
"Let us go to meet them in the infirmary, I am sure Robin realized that the boy is alright." Starfire said.
"Okay, Star, whatever you say."
And with that, they walked to the infirmary, curious to get the answers they were looking for.
All the Titans met in front of the door, Cyborg looked at Beastboy angrily.
"I told you to go get Robin, not Starfire!" He yelled.
"Well when I went to Robin's room he wasn't there but I met Starfire and I explained to her what's happening and she told me to go to the infirmary and-"
"Okay, okay! I get it! Now get in there!" Cyborg interrupted him, opening the door quietly, and entering, followed by his team.
When they entered, they found Danny still there, still struggling to wake up, but once Robin took a step forwards, Danny's body went completely limp, as he stopped struggling.
"Am.. I really... dead?" Came a soft voice. The team gasped at how weak he sounded. But BB started giggling.
Robin chuckled a little, before replying, "No, you're not dead, you're here with us, safe."
Danny didn't realize he said his last thoughts out loud, but he started feeling his surroundings, hearing the footsteps, and.. giggling?
"No, you're not dead, you're here with us, safe." Came an answer.
"Who.. is that?" Danny asked out loud, his voice cracking.
"I'm Robin, leader of the Teen Titans, and mind if I ask you the same thing?" Came another reply.
"How can he hear my thoughts?" Danny still asked out loud. The whole Team, even Raven laughed.
"You're talking out loud, dude!"Came another small voice.
"Huh.. what?" Danny opened his eyes, his vision blurry. His voice becoming weaker and weaker.
Once he set his eyes, he saw a masked teen, smiling sadly at him, and was kneeling to meet him face to face, he turned his face and saw a green colored boy, A dark skinned half cyborg, a green eyed girl floating a few feet off the ground, and finally, a cloaked figure that reminded him of...
...Sam.
Pushing that thought aside, he opened his mouth to reply, but nothing but a sigh came out. He lost his voice again. He shouldn't have used his voice, but he didn't even know he was using it.
"You okay?" Robin asked, concerned.
Trying to reply again, and failing, Danny sighed in defeat and nodded.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you to the rest of my team," Robin began, "This is Cyborg," He said, pointing at the half-cyber man. Danny sighed and thought it was typical for his name to be called that, "Beastboy," He pointed at the green skinned boy. Danny was confused on why they would call him Beastboy, his green colored skin doesn't make him a beast, but he shrugged it off, "Starfire," He pointed at the red haired, green eyed girl, Danny smiled a little, knowing that she looked friendly, "And Raven." He pointed at the cloaked girl. Danny looked at her sadly, because she brought him too many memories. He shook his head weakly, and looked down.
They look friendly but... should I... trust them? Danny asked himself.
"We are the Teen Titans." Robin added.
Remember what your trusted family ad friends did to you, Fe-Phantom. You can't trust anyone anymore. Don't trust them.
Danny nodded to himself.
"So, what's your name 'lil man?" Cyborg asked.
Danny opened his mouth, but silence came out. He sighed and signed the Cyborg for a pen and a paper.
Cyborg immediately understood and got him the pen and a notebook. Danny was shocked at how the cyborg understood him so fast, but he shrugged it off.
I can't speak, I lost my voice. He wrote, sighing at how much his handwriting sucked. He gave it to Robin, who read it out loud.
"But dude, you talked! Yeah your voice was weak but you talked!"
Danny sighed and mentioned for Robin to give him the notebook.
I know, but I lost it in these attempts. Robin once again read it out loud.
"You never said your name." Robin mentioned.
Danny thought a little, and decided that this little info didn't give away anything
Danny. He simply wrote down. However, this time Robin didn't read it out loud, and instead he said, "Nice meeting you, Danny."
Danny nodded, hiding his unsure face.
"Hello, Danny! I am Starfire! What'syourfavoritecolor?Whereareyoufrom?Andwillyoubemyfriend?" Star asked quickly, not taking a breath between her sentences. It was so fast that Danny took time to conclude what she said, but he finally got it.
Hi. Blue. I don't want to mention that, And maybe. Robin read out loud.
Star squeaked, taking the 'maybe' as a yes. She didn't know Danny was more on the no side. She was about to hug him tightly, but however, all the Titans-including Raven- stood in front of Danny, arms raised defensively, "NO!" They all shouted together.
Starfire's excited face turned into a frown as she sat down, arms folded.
Danny was as confused as ever, but, deciding that they knew enough, he took the notebook and wrote, I'm tired.
He weakly patted Robin's back, and gave him the note. He took it and read it silently. He put the note on the desk, which was right next to the bed, and mentioned for his team to leave. Danny smiled at their kindness, but he still did not trust them. He wasn't sure he'd ever trust anyone ever again.
After Robin pushed everyone outside, he turned towards Danny and said, "Good night." Before turning around and closing the door behind him.
Danny closed his eyes, finally getting his well-deserved rest, but then he realized that the only one that haven't spoken to him was 'Raven'. He didn't know what was up with her, but so far, he didn't really care. Letting his thoughts go, he finally gave up, and slept. His nightmares beginning.
5 hours later, Robin and the rest sat in the main room, watching TV. Raven was the only one who ignored the TV, instead reading her book. Starfire yawned and stood up.
"Friends, I must take a nap." She said, floating towards her room.
"Alright, Star, bye." Robin said.
"See ya."
"Later."
"Bye."
She made it to her room, and opened her door. Only to gasp in horror. Her whole room was destroyed, as some blurry figures were still crashing it. They saw her, but before Starfire could even scream, they covered her mouth, grabbed her, and pulled her towards the shadows.
That's it. Sorry for the short chapter, but the next one would be longer.
