Unraveling a Mystery

*Unraveling a Mystery*

"Where's Beast boy?" Robin asked, standing outside the doors to the infirmary. He held the door open for her.

"Out." Was all she was capable of answering.

This wasn't the type of emergency Raven had been expecting. She thought it would have been about a villain or criminal; not this. All of the titans were there minus a certain green male at the moment. Both Hazel and Ivy were patients on the hospital beds. Hazel looked absolutely fine, slightly confused if anything. Ivy on the other hand didn't look as if she had improved while Raven and Beast boy were out.

"I'll have Cyborg explain it to you." Robin said as he stood just outside the doors. "I'll get a hold of Beast boy." He let the door slide close behind him with a soft hiss.

Raven scanned the solemn faces of Starfire and Bumblebee and then went to stand in between both occupied beds.

"Look," Hazel shouted, sitting up on the bed "I'm a ghost. Can we go trick or treating again, Mommy?"

"Next year." Raven raised a questioning eyebrow at Cyborg, "What is she talking about?"

Cyborg was busy placing a clear mask with a tube over Ivy's mouth and nose. "Keep watching her." He said and fiddled with buttons on the white and blue box of the nebulizer. "The two of them are fading almost completely before reappearing again. The cycle keeps repeating."

Bumblebee nodded at his explanation, "We were hoping you would know more about it. Like if it's a side-affect or something."

Just as Bumblebee finished speaking, the thing Cyborg had mentioned happened. Simultaneously, the two girls faded in what Hazel had described as ghost like state but still visible. It lasted for a several seconds before they fully appeared normal again.

Raven shook her head, "I don't know." And she didn't like being left in the dark. She had never witnessed this in her life at all. "What about Ivy?"

The infirmary doors slammed open with a loud thud against the wall. Robin had only just stepped outside two minutes ago. Beast boy's breathing was jagged and the air came and left his body too quickly. Robin walked back in, his black and yellow communicator in his hand.

"Turns out he was already in the tower." Robin said and moved to sit in an empty chair.

Beast boy leaned against the wall, his chest heaving, "What happened?"

Cyborg briefly went over what he had just told Raven, "And Ivy is havin' an asthma attack but her fever has dropped to 100.1. The flu triggered her attack. Breathing is really hard but she's receiving medicine into her lungs right now."

"Let's head to the Ops room, we shouldn't be crowding them." Robin said, the infirmary was quite full with all of the titans present. "We can take turns keeping an eye on them."

Beast boy stood straight up, "I'll take first watch. You guys go on up."

"You sure you okay, man?" Cyborg asked, momentarily blocking the exit for Raven.

He nodded; his heart had stopped pounding in his ears, "Yeah, just out of breath." The half robot patted his friend on the back before leaving. "Raven," He grasped onto her sweater sleeve once outside the door to stop her from leaving.

The empath stopped dead in her tracks, "What?"

"I am so sorry for what happened earlier." He began; he rested his hand on the back of his neck. "I didn't expect to see her there and she dragged m-
