Chapter 2: Aftermath

“There. That is the last one” commented J’onn as he removed his hands from the sides of one of the teen’s head. “They will remember nothing. To them it was a normal night.” He added as he walked over to Dr. Fate who was deep in meditation.

“Thank you J’onn. It means a lot to me… and to the Titans” commented Robin; his eyes never leaving Dr. Fate and the pale teen in a trance beside him. “How is the favor I asked coming along Dr. Fate?”

“I cannot do as you have asked. The memories you wish me to erase and alter are linked too powerfully to him. Whatever happened left an emotional link that if broken could result in something…unpleasant.” commented Dr. Fate emerging from his trance and slowly laying the teen on the stage so as to not wake him.

“How unpleasant?” asked Robin trying to hide his rage as the events of earlier that night were still fresh in his mind.

“Very unpleasant, I would estimate he would go insane in about three days after the alteration. And that’s the best case scenario.” replied Dr. Fate in a monotone voice.

“Raven is like my sister, we share a bond ever since the incident with the Slade mask, so trust me I wouldn’t mind if this piece of scum couldn’t remember his own name.” responded Robin glaring at the still unconscious teen.

“This is all we can do Robin. He will remember nothing of the incident but he will continue with his plans to publish the poetry. The best you and your team can do is hope he doesn’t reveal it was Raven whom inspired the poem” J’onn’s voice was monotone as usual.

“I see… you guys better get going. I’m sure the Justice League can’t afford to have Dr. Fate and the Martian Manhunter absent for too long” replied Robin with a small smile “Thanks for the help J’onn. Thank you Dr.Fate”

“No problem Robin. I’m glad we could help. Contact us if anything comes up. If you can’t handle it I mean” the martian grinned as he added that little comment. He had slowly learned how to handle the younger heroes and was glad to see Robin smile and nod. With a thought the two figures were teleported back to the satellite headquarters.

‘Flash must be giving J’onn pointers on jokes.’ Robin thought as the two men vanished. He gave one last look around and exited the shop. ‘Now comes the hard part…’ he thought before starting his motorcycle ‘I hope Cyborg managed to calm Beast Boy down. That wasn’t like him. Beast Boy hasn’t gone into a rage like that since the incident with Adonis’ he shook the thoughts of Beast Boy turning back into his Beast form and sped towards the tower.

Inside the tower

“Will friend Raven be all right?” asked Starfire as Cyborg finished running the last set of tests.

“Yeah Star. She just had a panic attack. Nothing major. She should wake up in a few hours” responded Cyborg placing a hand on Starfire’s shoulder.

“I am relieved to hear that. But something has been bothering me. If friend Raven had the attack of panic would her powers not have cause things around us to go, how do you say, Kaboom?” the alien princess asked with a puzzled look.

“Well yes…” Cyborg started to answer. He was cut short by the sound of the Sick Bay door sliding opened “Listen BB I told you to go sleep it off before you could visit Rae here…”Cyborg’s argument was cut short when he turned around to face the visitor. He had been expecting Beast Boy but instead found Robin entering the room. Starfire immediately flew over to the masked teen and wrapped her arms around him. A smile appeared on the young teen’s face as she felt his arms embrace her as well.

“Hey leader. How did the brain drain go?” chuckled Cyborg trying his best not to grin at the display of affection before him. ‘About time those two started showing each other more love.’

“It went well. I’m just glad they were able to fix most of the problem” replied Robin before Starfire released their embrace.

“What do you mean?” Starfire looked at Robin quizzically before returning to Raven’s bedside. “Did they not fix it completely?”

“No. The memories had some sort of link to the guy. They couldn’t erase all of them without causing him massive brain damage.” replied Robin

“He could have used some damage.” commented an angry voice behind the three teens.

The sick bay doors had opened and closed without the other Titans noticing. They turned to face the voice and found a site they had not seen since their first meeting with the Doom Patrol: an almost eerily serious Beast Boy. Gone was his trademark goofy grin and happy attitude. Instead before them there was a serious and almost angry Beast Boy. His still moist cheeks gave away his true feelings.

Before Robin could begin an argument about responsibility and control with his team mate the computers monitoring Raven began to sound alarms and warnings. Her heart beat dropped and her pressure rose. Her brain activity fluctuated wildly before lowering to dangerous levels. Beast Boy instinctively rushed to Raven’s side and grabbed her hand.

”Rae? Rae! Come on don’t do this to us. What the hell is going on Cyborg!?” angrily shouted Beast Boy as Cyborg frantically dashed between machines checking the settings and running tests on his fallen friend’s condition. Starfire buried her face in Robin’s chest and began to sob as Robin could only embrace her and comforter softly.

“It’s nothing I can pin point…Raven seems to be in a trance now. She must be having an internal battle. Either her emotions are keeping her unconscious or she isn’t coming out of it until she resolves it. For now we have to wait.” responded Cyborg after the last test gave the same result.

“Then I’m staying here until she wakes up” added Beast Boy pulling up a chair next to Raven.

“No you won’t. We still have to talk about the incident you caused. Starfire will stay with Raven for now. We will alternate shifts until she wakes up. For now Beast Boy go to the Common Room and wait for me and Cyborg.” ordered Robin looking stern and serious. He knew Beast Boy would object but he simply did not care. He had to talk with him and at least see why Beast Boy had lost control the way he did. He glanced over at Beast Boy who was showing a mixture of anger and pain. Without another word Beast Boy released Raven’s hand and made his way out of the room. He glared silently at Robin as he passed him and exited the room.

“Cyborg let’s go. Star stay by Raven and contact us if anything changes.” with that said he and Cyborg left the sick bay.

“Friend Raven…please wake soon. I fear the answers we need can only be given by you” Starfire softly whispered as she sat next to her unconscious friend. She hated to see her dearest friends arguing and she knew things were going to get much worse before they
would get better.
