I'm Fine (book 2)

Lights Out

The next day, Raven woke up with a splitting headache with a sleeping Beastboy in her bed. Thinking it over as she quietly got out of bed, she came to the conclusion that healing someone after waking up from a long coma wasn't the best decision she's made...although, neither was was sex marathon. Grinning over her bad decision making, she pulled on black fuzzy socks. She pulled on her cloak with her hood up and stumbled to the hallway. Ignoring the headache, she was in a really good mood. Getting out the the empty kitchen, she put her teapot on the stove and waited for it to boil.

"GOOD MORNING RAVEN!" Cyborg shouted as he entered the kitchen which made Raven clutch her head with a gasp. "Are you okay!?" Cyborg lowered her volume immediately.

"I'm great...head isn't..." Raven mumbled as the pounded in her head dulled a little. Cyborg grabbed her teapot and poured her tea. He also grabbed her a green apple and a granola bar.

"You better eat something..." Cyborg trailed off as he pulled the tea bag out of her cup before passing it down the counter.

"Thanks!" Raven mumbled with a grin. She leaned the crown of her head to the warm mug through her hood which felt amazing. She could feel Cyborg starting at her bizarre action as she left out a content sigh. "You have no idea how much this helps..." Raven spoke.

"You have no idea how ridiculous you look!" Cyborg said with a snicker before leaving the kitchen with his ham sandwich. Raven sat with the mug pressed against her head until the cup grew cold, then she drank the tea quickly and wondered back to her room.

Starfire knocked softly on Nightwing's door. She was not used to being the first one awake so she proceeded quietly into the room. He was laying on his back without a mask on. He wore a plane black T-shirt and his covers had been pulled up to his chest. She gently lifted the edge of his covers and slid in next to him being extremely careful not to wake him. He moaned lightly in his sleep but never woke.

Bumblebee had been awake for a few hours with baby Vincent. She was feeling the stress of being a new mom a little extra today since Cyborg was busy the day before with Nightwing. Cyborg came into the room with a ham sandwich to split as Bee immediately traded the fussy Vincent for the sandwich before Cyborg got a bite.

"Babe, you know I need this break!" She shouted before Cyborg could open his mouth to protest. "Take a nap with him! While I get some paperwork done!" Bee snapped as she flew out of the room so fast Cyborg didn't even have time to question it. The truth is, Vinny kept everyone up last night so any excuse to sleep was a good one! He laid down on the bed with Vinny as both Cyborg and baby let their nap commence.

Raven crawled back into bed with Beastboy who woke up to the movement. She was feeling better but not 100%. Beastboy unknowingly leaned over to kiss her and let it build until he was on top of her again. Raven's body craved Beastboy but her head started aching again. Pushing herself to ignore it, she closed her eyes as Beastboy went to work. Suddenly, Raven felt a burning pain radiate from her pelvis to her stomach which felt like hot lava, causing her to react and kick Beastboy off of her and onto the floor.

"Rae, what the hell!?"  Beastboy grumbled as he got up off the floor but his mood suddenly changed when he saw the grimace of pain as she rolled over into her side, clutching her stomach. She was significantly more sweaty than she had been last night. And she looked a little out of it. "Rae, are you okay?" He whispered softly.

"Bucket." She whispered as she sat up quickly. Beastboy shoved the small trash can into her hands right as she threw up into the trash. She shivered but felt the burning sensation in her abdomen dissipate. Beastboy scratched her back as she continued to throw up the rest of her apple  and granola bar and draped her cloak around her bare skin when she finished.

"We didn't need to have sex today! Please tell me you're not feeling good and I won't ask!" Beastboy whispered as he tucked her into bed.

"I wanted to!" She protested quietly as she shivered under the covers. "I did too much yesterday... I healed Nightwing." She explained as she closed her eyes. Beastboy gave her a disappointed sigh because she knew better and then laid down next to her, spooning her to stay warm. After a bit of time passed and her head ache calmed down, Raven had a terrible thought. "You wore a condom today, right?" She whispered.

"Of course!" Beastboy whispered back quietly. "Why?" Beastboy asked suddenly worried.

"No reason! Just being sure!" Raven reassured dismissing her worry. She didn't know what the burning pain had been but she had also never been unconscious for so long so everything felt like uncharted territory today.

Damien was the first to show up to training that afternoon, which was unusual at best. Starfire was next with a tired looking Nightwing.

"How are you feeling?" Damien asked nervously.

"Surprisingly good!" Nightwing chipped in as he slowly sat down in the control desk. "Not good enough to kick your butt though!" He jabbed which relaxed Damien a little.

"You wouldn't on your best day!" Damien grinned under his Robin mask.

Cyborg walked in with Bumblebee for the first time. The two had left Vinny with a robotic baby monitor Cybor had whipped up today to help them with their stress.

"I'm ready." She grinned at Nightwing to which Nightwing nodded.

Beastboy came in solo, looking a little more disheveled than normal.

"Raven's not coming...she needs more rest." Beastboy said quietly as Nightwing nodded to him as well. Nightwing pushed the button which set up the course for Starfire to go first.

Back in the room, Raven locked her door to be safe and went over to her floor where she had kicked Beastboy to earlier. She looked around on the ground until she found what she was looking for. When she found it, her heart sank.

Bumblebee was flying through the course fairly easily. She was a little unbalanced but she was reacting quickly to each flying target. Suddenly one popped up out of nowhere which managed a blow to her head. She fell from the sky, hitting ground a little dazed. She got up and zapped the last target before she stumbled off the course. Cyborg was the first to rush over and saw the small trickle of blood on her forehead.

"I'm fine!" She snapped before he could even touch her.

"Okay!" He backed off letting her have her space even though she really needed to get that cut checked out. It was Cyborg's turn to go through the obstacle course but his mind was still on Bee's attitude.

Bee left to go cool off in kitchen. She grabbed a water bottle from the kitchen and sat at the table. She quickly popped open the plastic cap and sat there catching her breath. She looked down to her hand on the water bottle and suddenly saw the blood on her hand that was getting on the bottle and table. She examined her hand until it dawned on her that she was hit in the head. She got up too quickly and got lightheaded. She stumbled against the refrigerator and guided herself to the bathroom by using the wall. She opened the door hastily and saw the blood trickling down from the hairline above the right side of her forehead down to her collarbone. The lightheadedness hit her hard but she fought it by leaning up against the sink.

"This is bad!" she murmured as she grabbed toilet paper and hastily pressed the toilet paper against her face.

"What's bad?" Raven asked as she appeared in the doorway before she saw the bloodbath on the other side of Bee's face. "Oh..." Raven responded as Bee sank to sit on the toilet with her face buried in toilet paper.

"Please help..." Bee whispered frustrated as Raven knelt in front of her and pulled the tissue away from her face to reveal the angry gash. Raven took a deep breath and mentally hoped for the best as she started to heal the gash. "I just wanted to get back into fighting so badly!" Raven heard Bee confess right before she passed out from using her powers.
