I'm Fine (book 2)

Good Night

Cyborg heard a knock on his door and heard Bee groan in frustration.

"Can they just leave us alone for a day?" Bee whispered from under the covers as Cyborg got up to throw a shirt on. He opened the door to see Raven and Nightwing with serious faces.

"Sorry to bother you but we found out Beastboy got the same poison as Bee. We took apart the game controller and it had a spring loaded syringe inside. The character sketch from Damien proved it was Terra at the game store. We injected Beastboy with the antidote about an hour ago and he's feeling much better." Nightwing explained calmly.

"Oh shit! Is there anything you need from me?" Cyborg asked rubbing his eyes from being asleep.

"No-no, we got it! Just ask Bee sometime tonight and see if she had an encounter with a blond woman of Terra's description or if she felt a stab or poke anytime while at Titan's East." Nightwing asked.

"And just stay here for a while so we can figure out how Slade is tracking us so easily. No one was supposed to know about Bee for this exact reason." Raven spoke with a dark conviction that startled both Nightwing and Cyborg.

"Yeah, I was thinking about that too..." Cyborg trailed off, noticing his head was starting to hurt. "Fuck!" He mumbled as he slammed his hand into the doorframe in anger. Just realizing everything hit him at once. Bee got up and threw on her bathrobe to investigate.

"What's wrong?" Bee asked from behind Cyborg placing a hand on his shoulder. She could see he was tense and she wondered how much time he had left with the spell.

"Let's go to BB's room and talk as a team." Cyborg grumbled with the pain creeping up in his temples.

The team went to Beastboy's room while Cyborg made a quick detour. He ran to the hospital medicine closet and loaded a needle with enough morphine to block his pain receptors if he transformed in the next 6 hours and went straight into the vein of his elbow. He quickly taped up his arm and ran down the hall to Beastboy's room.

Once he stepped in the doorway, the rest of the team looked at him. Beastboy was sitting up, looking much better than a few hours ago.

"Where'd you go?" Bee whispered as Nightwing explained the situation to everyone.

"I can feel that I don't have a lot of time left... just preparing..." he whispered back with a light tap on the tape around his elbow. The headache was dulling but the medicine was making him a little dizzy. He leaned back against the wall and tried to focus in on the conversation. Nightwing put the tower on lockdown until they could figure out a plan with how to handle Slade. The group dispersed as Cyborg was zoning out at the floor.

"Babe!" Bee waved her hand infront of Cyborg as he focused on her hand. "Let's go back to bed!" Bee whispered as she grabbed his hand. Beastboy and Raven were the only ones left and they were both sitting on his bed, watching.

"Cy, are you okay?" Beastboy asked cautiously.

"Yeah, I'm just a little drugged up." He slurred as he slid down the wall holding Bee's hand with a chuckle. Raven facepalmed her hand as she got up to help. Beastboy turned into a donkey and Raven helped Cyborg up onto Beastboy's back. Raven and Bee helped Cyborg off of Beastboy's back and into bed. "Owwwww." Cyborg groaned as he curled up into bed holding his head. Bee thanked everyone as they left and she crawled back into bed with him.

"Babe, what did you need?" Bee whispered into his neck from behind him. She wrapped her right arm around him as she laid on her left side.

"Nothing, it's just pain..." Cyborg groaned as he rolled over to face her. "At least we had fun this morning!" He whispered before kissing her on the forehead. Bee smiled before she kissed him slowly, starting what would eventually be a long night.

Beastboy walked back to Raven's room with Raven. He had just showered before the meeting and was hoping to go get some time with Raven. She opened the door letting him follow in.

"How are you feeling?" Her voice croaked with monotony as she sat on her bed.

"Pretty good! I'm glad we figured it out before I had to go through all that emotional stuff again!" Beastboy laid back on her bed next to her. Raven uncrossed her legs and laid back as well with her head still under her hood.

"I was scared..." Raven said flatly, hiding under her hood. Beastboy pushed her hood back and left his green hand on her cheek.

"Don't be!" Beastboy smiled a toothy smile as one fang poked out. Raven smirked back before closing her eyes. Beastboy pushed himself up onto her chest and Raven pulled her blankets up over them both. Beastboy fell asleep listening to her heart beat and breathing tie together.

Nightwing had checked and double checked Robin for exposure to the poison and confiscated the game and controller. After sending him to bed, Nightwing went to Starfire's room feeling a little stressed out. He opened to door and saw that Starfire was up and feeding Silkie. He smiled and jumped onto her bed a little too aggressively and tensed up as he bounced on the mattress. Starfire saw him wince in pain as the jolt went through his spine from the previous surgery. She flew over right as Nightwing felt the wind get knocked out of him.

"Robin!" Starfire shouted as he laid there with his eyes squeezed shut. He was scared to move but the pain had ceased. He gently rolled over onto his hands and pushed himself up cautiously and then nodded.

"I'm okay! I just ended up the wrong way." He whispered as he felt his scar on his back through his white T-shirt.

Eventually they laid down to sleep but he couldn't get the memory of the feeling out of his head.
