Chapter 1,
Cyborg walked down the hallway early one morning, because he wanted to make a special breakfast for everyone. Last night they had tree different alarms and
everyone worked hard. He was going to make pancakes and waffles, and even tofu-bacon for Beast Boy. He didn't normally make anything tofu unless it was Beast
Boy's birthday, but the little guy worked hard and deserved it.
Cyborg rounded the corner to find a green cat sleeping outside Raven's door. He walked over and nudged the cat gently to wake it up. "Wake up, grass stain. If you
wake up now then Raven won't kill you." Cyborg said in a teasing tone. Beast Boy turned back into his regular form and laid on his back. "She isn't going to kill me
because she knows I am out here." He said quietly. Cyborg raised an eyebrow at him. "Raven is letting you sleep outside her door? That's a little weird." He said. The
green boy yawned and sat up weakly. "It was at first, but it's better now." He said as he leaned against the wall. "You mean this isn't the first time you slept outside
her door? Well, how many times have you done this?" Cyborg asked. "This time? Let me think… two weeks and three days." Beast Boy said yawning again.
"Why have you been doing this?" Cyborg looked at his exhausted friend. "Oh, because Raven has been getting nightmares and hurting herself in her sleep. I sleep out
here so that I can wake her up as fast as possible." Beast Boy said as he started to fall asleep again. "BB, your exhausted. Why don't you go back to your room and
get some real sleep?" Cyborg said to which Beast Boy shook his head. "No way, Cy. I do this until Raven is awake so she doesn't hurt herself." Beast Boy said to the
metal man.
"Beast boy are you sure that you aren't over-reacting?" Cyborg said gently. "Cy, I don't think you realize how scary this is. I have had to pry her hands off her throat
more than once. She has chocked herself enough to make herself pass out and if that isn't bad enough her nails cut her throat and makes her bled really badly. She
can't heal herself if she is dead so I never leave this spot until I know that she is awake. Once she is awake I go get some beauty sleep in my room before you guys
wake up." Beast Boy said crossing his arms. Cyborg knew that Beast Boy cared for Raven despite how mean she was to him, but he never thought that he would be
this dedicated to her wellbeing.
"Beast Boy, How many times have you done this?" Cyborg asked. Beast Boy wasn't going to answer Cyborg, but after feeling his concern and hearing the seriousness
in his voice, Beast Boy changed his mind. "I have been doing this on and off since Raven stopped her father from destroying the world." He said quietly. Cyborg
blinked, "Wow, dude, that was over three years ago." This comment caused Beast Boy to smile.
"Yeah, well, how can I not care about Raven? How could I not protect her or comfort her when she needs it? I mean Raven is… Well… She's Raven." Beast Boy said
without realizing the blush on his face. Cyborg smiled and tried not to laugh. "well, BB, is there anything I can do to help?" Cyborg asked. "Unless you can help me
see her dreams while she is dreaming them, then the only thing I can ask you to do is not tell Robin and Starfire." He said with a smile.
Cyborg nodded and started to walk away. "Maybe I should bring some food to the little guy" Cyborg thought to himself. He turned and saw Beast Boy's ears twitch
and rush into Raven's room. "Dang, was it something I said?" Cyborg thought before continuing to the kitchen.
A few minutes later Raven walked into the ops room and walked over to the kitchen. "Hey Raven, I already put a kettle on for you." Cyborg told the emotionless girl
who turned and thanked him. She sat on a chair and pulled down her hood. "I see tofu-bacon, what is the occasion?" Raven said in her monotone voice. "Well,
everyone did such a good job yesterday that I just wanted to celebrate a little." Cyborg said simply. "Even so, that is more than you would normally touch, even
when celebrating." She said, and it was true. Cyborg normally makes six pieces for Beast Boy and today he made twelve. After seeing his exhausted friend, he felt
like he deserved extra tofu-bacon. "I got sick of seeing it in the fridge so I just made it." He said. Raven knew he was lying but decided that pressing the issue
wouldn't be good.
After a moment of silence, Cyborg looked over at Raven and was surprised to see bloody claw marks on her neck. Cyborg stopped cooking and walked over to her,
surprising Raven who was clearly not paying attention. "What are you doing?" She asked, confused at his actions. "Your hurt." Cyborg carefully said as he scanned
her injuries. Remembering what Beast Boy said, he also scanned her nails. Raven let him scan her. "This is completely unnecessary, I can heal myself." She said
annoyed. "She can't heal herself if she is dead" Beast Boy's voice rang in his ears. "You might find it unnecessary but his could be useful in the future. I'll just clean
up your neck then you can go heal yourself." Cyborg said. Raven crossed her arms over her chest "Fine, just hurry up." She said more annoyed then anything else.
When Cyborg finished he took the small bloody rags and placed them in a small compartment that was in his arm. "What do you plan on doing with the rags?" Raven
said accusingly. "Calm down, Raven, I can't throw this away here in the kitchen. Blood is a Bio-hazardous thing. So I have to throw it away in the lab because there is
a bio-hazardous trashcan there." Cyborg said and the logic caused Raven to relax and start healing herself. After all the titans had their fill of breakfast, Cyborg went
to the lab and had spent most of the day there; though the only one to notice this was Beast Boy.
He cautiously poked his head into the room and saw Cyborg at some random machine. "Uh, hey Cy. We haven't played any video games today, and I wanted to know
if you were up for a game before bed." Beast Boy asked holding up one of their many racing games. "Sure, BB. But come here for a minute, I got something to show
you." Cyborg said gesturing the green boy to him. "What is it?" Beast Boy asked and Cyborg handed him a bottle of pills. Beast Boy held up the bottle of purple-blue
pills up to the light. "I repeat 'what is it?'" Beast Boy asked him with confusing. "Pills so that you can have the same dream as Raven. Take one every day and fall
asleep when she falls asleep and you will dream what she dreams. You start taking the pills tomorrow morning because I have a liquid batch for you tonight."
Cyborg said handing him a small cup or purple-blue liquid. "Pills and liquid medicine?" Beast Boy asked impressed with his progress. "Liquid is just for today, but if it
doesn't work or there is a bad side effect then I will have to throw out both batches." He said with a smile. "Dude, that's awesome." Beast Boy said before drinking
the medicine and making a sour face. "But that was not." He said with a shiver. "You can drink your tears after I race your slow digital car." Cyborg said, grabbing the
game from Beast Boy and rushing out. Beast Boy nearly dropped his new medicine at this reaction. Then he left the lab, thankful to have a good friend like Cyborg.
