Raven started to run over to restrain Laurel's father, but slowed down as he realized he wasn't reacting violently. "Umm... Please stop doing that," he told Laurel's father gently. "They're helping you become healthy again."

Danny paused, staring at Raven a bit suspiciously now as he continued to unplug himself slowly.

"Please," Raven tried again as he slowly walked over and reached out a hand to stop him gently. "Laurel is worried about you and wants you to get better as soon as you can."

Instantly Danny's eyes glinted and he lashed out at Raven wildly.

Raven took what Danny dished out as he tried to restrain him. "You can't keep doing this," he tried to reason. "You're making Laurel worry. This is hurting your daughter!"

Danny only struggled harder as Raven spoke to him, eyes getting wilder.

So Raven gave up on the talking and focused on restraining Danny.

Dan limped in around this time. "... She won't wake..." she told Raven.

"Stay back," Raven instructed Dan. Dan swallowed and stayed by the door frame.

Then suddenly Danny fell still, eyes seeming to go blank in an instant. He wasn't asleep and he remained upright, but his body seemed empty as he started at the far wall.

Raven paused a moment before loosening his grip. "... Sir," Raven told him, trying to get his attention.

For all he responded Danny might as well have been asleep. But his eyes remained open and staring at the far wall.

"Snap out of it," Raven told Danny, putting his face between Danny and the wall and getting closer. "I need to talk to you. "It's important. Your daughter needs you to be strong."

Danny's eyes didn't focus on Raven, his soul seemed to be absent from them.

So Raven shook Danny a little. "Come on, snap out of it!" he told Danny loudly.

"... Raven..." Dan muttered.

Still nothing on Danny's part, his eyes remained dead.

"... We won't let you hurt her anymore..." Raven told Danny as he slowly let go of him and backed off. "We'll find a way to get through to you."

Danny showed no sign that he had heard.
