I do not own Teen Titans or any of the characters.

Accident

Beast Boy ducked as a Star Bolt shot over his head. He transformed into a dog, taking off at a sprint around the room. He heard the whistle as a Star Bolt shot forward to intercept him and skidded to a stop, the bolt hitting the wall before he took off again. Several bolts hit the wall behind him before his leg passed through a laser tripwire. He cursed. He had forgotten Cyborg had set traps to make his and Starfire's sparring session more fun. He leapt into the air, transforming into a hawk and crying out as he soared away from the wall. However, as he did, several large mechanical and oddly shaped machines grew out of the walls and ceiling.

"What are those?" Starfire asked.

Before Beast Boy could even consider trying to figure that out, one of the machines across the room from him unleashed a blast of electricity through the air, the blast hitting him squarely in the chest, forcing him to return to normal and sending him crashing into the wall. Starfire shouted in surprise, beginning to blast the machines as the rest opened fire. Electricity, energy, and even flame blasts shot through the air rapidly. Starfire was having trouble avoiding them so Beast Boy transformed into a roadrunner and took off, streaking past machines and ripping bundles of cords out of them, causing them to explode the next time they tried to fire. After a few minutes, the weapons were reduced to one electricity gun and two energy blasters. As Beast Boy moved to destroy another energy blast, a Star Bolt blasted him in the side, throwing him. He landed in a roll, transforming into an armadillo as he did before unfurling and landing on his feet, becoming a rhino, charging at Starfire. As he had expected, she easily shot out of his way and peppered his back with Star Bolts. As she did, he shifted into a mouse, scurrying between the bolts as he streaked toward her. Then, a blast of electricity collided with Starfire's back, Beast Boy skidding to a stop, eyes wide.

Starfire shrieked in pain, crashing into the wall and falling to the ground. There was a shout from the observation room and Beast Boy turned to look at the window. As he did, time seemed to slow. He could see Cyborg typing away on the keyboard, and Robin was sprinting for the door, but Raven was shouting something.

"Look out!" Raven shouted through the glass.

He turned to the guns just as all three fired. Two energy blasts hit him a second before the electricity. A moment later, a horribly burned full-sized Beast Boy was lying on the ground against the wall. As the door to the room opened, Starfire sat up then shouted in surprise upon seeing Beast Boy, then again when she saw the guns preparing to shoot him again. Before they could, a black aura surrounded all three and crushed them. Then, Raven shot to Beast Boy's side, kneeling and setting her hands on his chest, eyes wide and breathing quick. Robin and Cyborg knelt beside her and Raven swallowed hard, looking to Cyborg.

"He's not breathing," she said, Starfire kneeling beside him.

"Friend Beast Boy is going to be the o and k, yes?" Starfire asked, no one taking the time to answer as Cyborg pulled a series of wires out of his chest and attached them to Beast Boy's temples, chest, and the sides of his neck.

"His heart's still beating," Cyborg said. "There's still-"

The small screen on his arm suddenly flashed red several times and his eyes widened as he instantly puled a pair of metal paddles out of his chest.

"Clear!" he said urgently, Raven pulling her hands back instantly.

"What is going on?" Starfire asked, struggling to understand.

Cyborg put the paddles on Beast Boy's chest and his body suddenly arched off the floor for a moment, a gurgling sound coming from him.

"You are hurting him!" Starfire cried, reaching out to push Cyborg's hands away, only for Robin to catch hers, stopping her.

"Starfire," Robin said. "You need to stay back!"

"Come on Beast Boy!" Raven shouted, the glow around her hands intensifying. "Wake up, dammit!"

"Clear!" Cyborg said and again Raven pulled her hands back as Cyborg shocked him.

"Friend Beast Boy, you must open your eyes," Starfire said as Raven again began to heal him.

"His airway's swelling," Raven growled, sweat running down the side of her face, fear shining through in her eyes, right alongside desperation and determination. "The muscles around his heart too."

"Clear!" Cyborg said, but this time Raven didn't move. "Raven! Clear!"

Robin pulled her away and she shouted in anger, slapping him just as Cyborg shocked him yet again. Then, Raven was right back at it, hands glowing almost blindingly.

"Don't you dare Garfield," Raven snarled.

Cyborg looked at his arm, face falling.

"Still nothing," Cyborg said. "Raven...there's nothing-"

"Don't you dare!" Raven snapped, the light around her hands flickering, terror filling her face. "Nononono!"

The energy faded. She tried to restart it, fighting to continue to heal him, but nothing happened. Finally, she growled in frustration, beginning chest compressions.

"Raven," Robin said. "Raven that's enough. He's gone, Raven."

"No!" Raven snapped, not stopping in the least. "I can save him!"

"Raven, enough," Robin said, setting a hand on her shoulder.

She shrugged it off, tilting Beast Boy's head back and giving him a breath.

"Friend Raven, I do not believe that kissing Friend Beast Boy will-" Starfire began but trailed off as she saw that Raven wasn't listening.

Raven gave him a second breath before growling in frustration and returning to chest compressions.

"Raven," Robin said, pulling her away from Beast Boy.

Bad move. Raven began to shriek profanities at him instantly, punching and slapping him rapidly to make him let go.

"I can't stop!" Raven finally shrieked, breaking free and returning to what she had been doing, restarting her chest compression cycle. "I can't stop! I can save him!"

She moved to give him a breath again but Robin caught her by the shoulders, turning her to look at him.

"Raven, he's dead!" Robin snapped, Raven freezing, eyes wide. "Beast Boy's gone! It's too late!"

"N...No..." Raven breathed, staring at him, eyes wide. "He's..."

Cyborg's arm suddenly beeped rapidly for a moment and everyone froze, watching as Beast Boy's chest began to rise and fall unevenly and his eyes winced, the skin around them cracking and beginning to bleed. He slowly opened them, staring up at them.

"Raven," he croaked, voice barely audible.

Raven stared at him. He was alive. She had saved him. She should heal him. She should slap Robin for trying to stop her. She should slap Cyborg for not helping. She was suddenly aware of a cool feeling on her cheeks. She reached up, wiping the spot with her fingertips before pulling her hand away to stare at the tears on her fingers. Suddenly, a black raven silhouette formed around her and vanished in the blink of an eye. Beast Boy stared at the spot before his eyes drifted closed again and he blacked out, Cyborg and Robin carefully rushing him to the elevator and then to the infirmary.

Beast Boy opened his eyes slowly, pain flaring through his whole body as he did. He looked around, seeing Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg around him.

"Hey guys," Beast Boy croaked, feeling barely any better than he had before. "Where's Raven?"

"She's in her room," Robin said. "She's been locked up in there since you were hurt. She comes down and heals you at night, I think. But she spends all day meditating."

"Why?" Beast Boy asked.

"She lost control of her emotions," Robin said.

"But why is that a problem now?" Beast Boy croaked. "Trigon doesn't have any power over her now, right?"

"My father will always have power over me," Raven said. "At least in part."

Beast Boy opened his mouth to speak but a black strip of dark energy appeared over his mouth.

"Quiet," Raven said. "I'm not in the mood for any stupid jokes or idiot remarks."

He blinked before she set a hand on the front of his throat, energy glowing around it. Beast Boy inhaled and it suddenly didn't hurt so bad to breathe. As she healed his throat, windpipe, and lungs, breathing and swallowing became less and less painful. Then, once that was healed, she began to work on the burns on his skin, starting with the places where his flesh was either blackened or missing altogether, as it was in two places on his right side where he had been shot.

Finally, she stopped, stepping back and turning toward the door. Beast Boy looked down at the now bright red burns in those places. The morphine, mixed with Raven's healing powers, kept his body from hurting too much, but he was still in pain.

"Wait, Raven," Beast Boy said. "Thank you for saving me."

Raven stopped, a hand on the door, and turned her head to stare at him for a moment before turning back to the door and leaving. Beast Boy blinked in surprise and looked to Robin and the others.

"Don't look at me," Robin shrugged. "I don't know what's going on. She was pretty worried about you, though. She was crying while she was trying everything to save you. Even CPR."

"Really?" Beast Boy asked. "Was I really so bad that she had to rely on that?"

"Her healing powers stopped working," Cyborg said.

"Yeah but don't you have chest paddles?" Beast Boy asked.

"Uh, they shorted out," Cyborg said. "Couldn't get them to work."

"Oh," Beast Boy said, before fighting not to yawn, for fear of aggravating the burns on his face. "I'm really thirsty."

"You're getting water from an IV drip," Cyborg said. "But tomorrow you can start drinking again. For now you're going to have to tough it out."

Beast Boy nodded before noticing the sad expression on Starfire's face.

"What's wrong Starfire?" Beast Boy asked.

"I wish to apologize," Starfire said. "It is my fault you were damaged. If I had destroyed the last of the guns, or allowed you to, you would not have been harmed. If I had not decided to attack you then, you would be unharmed."

"Starfire, it's not your fault," Beast Boy said. "You didn't know. And it's my fault anyway. I should have kept moving after you were hit. I'm not blaming you. It was my own fault. And I'm okay now. So there's nothing to worry about."

Starfire nodded, smiling slightly before standing.

"You must rest, Friend Beast Boy," Starfire decided. "I will make you lunch."

"Alright," Beast Boy nodded, smiling.

She smiled and left and Robin followed after wishing Beast Boy well. Cyborg said to hurry up and get better so he could whoop his ass at video games again and also left. Beast Boy's smile faded slowly and he sighed before closing his eyes, trying to ignore the pain of his burns and sleep, though he failed miserably at it.
