Lustful

Chapter 2: The Med Bay

...

Richard stared into the med bay through the glass window. "How long has it been since she stopped levitating?" He asked.

"About a day now." Victor responded.

"Does that mean she is better?" Kori asked hopefully.

"Her body's healed and the scans say everything's fine." Victor told her.

"Then why isn't she waking?" Kori asked, concern riddled in her voice.

"Kori, it's okay." Richard assured her, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Everything will be fine."

"But Rob, what if she wakes up... not herself?" Victor asked, his voice also showing concern.

Richard narrowed his eyes as he glanced back into the room. "Then we deal with it." He said sternly.

The three of them watched as she laid unconscious in the med bay. She had been in there for 3 days now. No one knew what happened to her, they just knew she wasn't... herself.

So, they took her down. The injuries were minimal, and her powers healed them in a little over a day. Now they only hoped that the fact that she was no longer levitating off her bed meant she was on the road to recovery.

"And what about him? How is he doing?" Richard asked as they stared at the boy who stood over her, watching her in concern.

"He's worried." Victor responded.

"There was clearly something between them that we were unaware of." Richard concluded.

"I was aware of it." Kori admitted, causing both boys to turn to her in slight surprise.

In the med bay Garfield stood above her, watching her, his face contorted in concern. He was beyond worried; He was tired of seeing her like this, still and unresponsive. All he wanted was for her to wake up. But then the fear of her waking up and not being herself worried him. He couldn't even think about that, it practically destroyed him taking her down.

"What should we do?" Victor spoke out loud.

"Wait." Richard told him.

"And what about Garfield?" Kori asked. "Do we make him rest?"

"I don't think we could get him to." Victor told her.

Richard let out a long sigh. "We should go." He said before heading towards the door.

Kori slowly followed him, and after a minute and one final glance into the med room, Victor did too.

Garfield watched her as he stood by her bed. Just when they started understanding their feelings, this happened. It wasn't fair. He sighed, taking his hand, and gently tucking a strand of her hair back behind her ear before lightly brushing his fingers against her cheek.

But as soon as he made the gesture, he jumped as her hand grabbed his. He stared in shock as her eyes slowly fluttered open, and he couldn't help but panic at the thought that it might not be her, as he watched her turn to face him.

"Gar." She said softly as she smiled up at him, her eyes adjusting to his figure.

Her eyes might have been half lidded, but he could tell by the tone of her voice that it was his Raven. He couldn't help but sigh in relief. "Rae." He beamed. "You're okay."

She breathed in and out slowly as she blinked up at the ceiling. "I'm better than okay." She whispered before gradually looking around the room, analyzing her surroundings as she began to sit up. She stopped halfway, looking down at the heart monitors that restrained her. She stared at them strangely before slowly and delicately removing each one off her chest.

Garfield couldn't help but watch as the monitors were displayed on her low-cut tank. He hadn't really noticed her dressing conditions until that moment and her actions were making him... uncomfortable.

A small smirk appeared on her lips as she removed the last one. "I'm flattered." She commented without looking at him.

"What-you do, read my mind?" He asked sheepishly, scratching the back of his head.

She turned to him, the small smirk still on her features. "I didn't need to."

She fully sat up and turned to him and he watched in surprise as she let her legs fall off the cot, letting them rest on either side of his standing form.

"What are you doing?" He asked, watching her movements.

"It's okay." She whispered and slowly leaned closer to him. Out of instinct he did the same, his eyes focused on her. "It's okay." She said again with half lidded eyes as she slowly bit her lip in anticipation. The fact that she was awake and well, filled him with relief. But now as she stared at him with wanting, he couldn't help but reciprocate the desire.

His breathing became shallow as he stared at her soft lips. He tried to control himself but lost fatally as he found himself leaning into her, connecting their lips. It was a soft kiss that she greeted with full force.

Within seconds she had her arms around him as his hands found the familiar curve of her hips. Her legs slowly skimmed his up and down before tightening around him. Her arms stiffened around his shoulders before pulling him downwards, urging him onto the cot.

Their lips didn't break as he struggled to prop himself on top of her as she pulled him down. Her nails dug into his shoulders as his hand glided up and down her soft leg and thigh.

He was so intermingled with her and the desire they shared that he was reluctant to notice that the med bay was suffering under her influences. The monitors were glitching, as the machinery began to malfunction and issue a statistical sound.

If he would have noticed, he would have stopped, but he was so mesmerized in their actions that he found he couldn't control his own impulse.

He let out a heated growl as her sharp nails dug into his skin and he quickly devoured her lips in response. He let his head fall into the crease of her neck and kissed the sensitive skin as she tightened her grip around his skull.

Their breathing was rapid as she gripped his hair and her eyes opened wide at the sensation as he consumed her. But as her big dark eyes stared up in ecstasy, a malicious smile couldn't help but creep onto her lips.

She loosened her grip, and he was about to go up and connect their mouths once more when he caught a glimpse of her dark, dangerous, orbs.

"Raven!" He said in a panic, as he quickly pulled away from her.

"No." She said in a deep tone as she hungered for more. "Don't stop."

He had barely any time to be scared as his belt buckle was highlighted with her powers and yanked off him. And with that, he hastily jumped off the cot. She quickly sat up and it was then that he noticed the devastation of the med bay.

Monitors were glitching out, their screens cracked. The lights in the room flickered as dials went past what they were capable of standing.

"Raven!?" He said in a panic as she sat up on the edge of the bed. "Raven, this, this isn't you!" He yelled. Her dark eyes stared at him hauntingly and it caused his stomach to sink in fear.

"If only that was true." She said as she proceeded to get up off the bed and approach him.

He backed up as she did so and watched as she strolled over to him. He tripped over his feet and fell backwards but still backed up until his back hit the wall.

"Raven, snap out of it!" He yelled.

She smirked again as she slowly leaned down. "Oh, sweet, naive Garfield, don't you see... Your Raven is gone."
