Steel City, New York: Titans East Tower

The garage.

A bit empty, since this tower has only been occupied for a few days.

Resting in it was a car.

It was no ordinary car, obviously. Blue and white, it definitely was top of the line, probably not made by any normal manufacturer.

The T-Car. Cyborg's pride and joy. His greatest achievement.

And one he didn't rebuild all by himself.

There was a feature added to the car that he didn't know about.

Said feature was activated as the car turned a dark black.

T-T-T-T-T-T

"So, who wants waffles?"

Cyborg, new leader of Titans East, was busy making breakfast for his teammates and friends.

They all were sitting at the table. Speedy held a spoon up and looked at his image a bit.

Bumblebee, wearing a smirk, looked at Cyborg.

Aqualad, patient, calmly waited for his food.

And Mas y Menos were the polar opposite, utensils held in their hands, wiggling in their seats, unable to stand the suspense.

"¡Alimento de alimento de alimento de alimento de alimento!"

Cyborg chuckled. "Be patient, the food will be ready…"

He was interrupted by the sound of rushing air.

Cyborg turned around as across from him, blackness rose up from the floor.

In seconds, the Titans East were in fighting position…except Cyborg, who was staring at the rising figure with pure shock.

The thing came out—beaked head, black wings, sharp talons.

In short, a giant black bird.

The shadowy energies then retreated into themselves.

They disappeared, revealing a girl floating off the ground.

She landed gracefully, blue cloak flapping. Violet eyes looked out from the hood, which she took off. Blue hair, pale skin, and a ruby in the forehead revealed itself.

Cyborg murmured in shock. "Raven…"

T-T-T-T-T-T

Raven.

An exquisitely beautiful girl.

Beautiful…and cursed.

Cyborg stammered his words out. "Raven…What are you doing here?"

She responded in her typical monotone. "Keeping you from acting like an idiot."

She walked up to him, around the table, cloak swishing behind her, passing the startled Titans East team.

She continued. "I prefer that we keep this conversation private."

A wave of black, and they were both gone.

A few moments passed…and Speedy pulled out a communicator.

A communicator with an 'H'.

"Headmaster…one of the Titans has gone to see Cyborg."

T-T-T-T-T-T

Raven teleported them one level upward, right under the rooftop.

Cyborg looked around him, ascertained where he was, and turned to look into Raven's eyes.

"Okay Raven…did Robin put you up to this? Because I already told him—"

Raven cut him off. "Robin has been busy in the evidence room, investigating crimes that have already been solved months ago. Starfire is busy being more perky than usual. A lot more perky than usual. And Beast Boy…is busy moping around." Moping around, when connected to Beast Boy, was of course, code. "So with everyone else acting like an idiot, I took it upon myself to come here."

Cyborg looked downward. "Fair enough. But first, how did you get here? I know your abilities Raven…you can't teleport to a place unless you know it well enough."

Raven responded with a word. "The T-Car."

Cyborg's response was a "What?"

"The T-Car. I cast a spell on it, just in case something should happen. And something did." Raven's tone became ominous. "You left."

Cyborg scowled. And it wasn't just because Raven 'altered' his baby without him knowing. "Raven, I'm not going back. This is my home now. The team here needs me."

Raven sighed. "Your home is back in Jump City. The team there needs you more. And until you finally get that through your metallic skull, I'm not leaving here. Not until you do."

Cyborg smirked. "You'll be waiting awhile."

"It can't be worse than being alone with Beast Boy."

T-T-T-T-T-T

"Headmaster?" Speedy looked down at his communicator as Brother Blood's voice issued from it.

His tone was flabbergasted. "I already told you! Get the Titan away from Cyborg. Convince the Titan to leave. We need to have Cyborg all alone in order to…recruit him."

Speedy nodded, eyes glowing red. "Yes Headmaster."

His eyes returned to normal as he pocketed the HIVE communicator and turned to look up at the descending footsteps, along with the rest of the squad.

Cyborg waved a hand out to Raven. "Guys…this is Raven. She's going to be staying with us for awhile." Raven was utterly silent.

Speedy gave a smirk and sidled up to her. "I'm Speedy…I'm sure Robin told you about me. So…why's a cutie like you staying here?"

Speedy's smile turned to abject fear as Raven gave him a death glare that would make even the bravest man's blood run cold.

"Go away."

Speedy chuckled sheepishly as he followed the order, hand behind his head.

Cyborg stammered. "Erm…I'm sure you know Aqualad…"

The Atlantean in question walked up. "Good to see you again, Raven."

She answered in monotone. "Pleasure."

Cyborg waved a hand out again. "And this pair of twins is called Mas y Menos."

The Spanish Speedsters, who had a look of awe on them, immediately turned to childish grins. "¡Hola¡Nosotros somosMas y Menos, Maniáticos de la velocidad españoles y superhéroes!" They touched hands. "Mas y Menos, sí poderos!" They ran off and came back with blue sombreros and a picture, which they held up. "Viva le Guatemala."

It was a picture of them in front of a building. Raven was…flabbergasted.

"As you can tell…they're super fast and only speak Spanish." Cyborg grinned as he pointed out the last member. "And this here is Bumblebee."

Raven turned to her. "You were the spy on the HIVE, right?"

Bee nodded. "You're Raven. Sparky here"—she pointed to Cyborg—"told me a bit about you."

Raven turned to Cyborg, who immediately got nervous. "Oh really? What did he tell you?"

Bee smiled. "He just told me that you're the quiet, spiritual one who keeps to her room, meditates, and likes herbal tea." Her eyes narrowed. "And that you helped rebuild the T-Car."

"And added a few features." Cyborg's tone was accusatory. Raven only smirked in response.

BRIIING! BRIIING! BRIING!

Within seconds, the Titans East were at the main computer off the control room, Raven following them. Cyborg pushed a few buttons on the keyboard as he looked at the data.

"There's some trouble at the bank. Something's taking the cash and KO'ing the cops. Titans, GO!"

The Titans rushed out, except for Raven.

Cyborg paused, and looked back at her. "Well, aren't you coming?"

Raven was silent for a moment, then vanished in a stream of blackness.

Cyborg shook his head. "Typical Raven." He turned and ran out.

Postscripts: Ahem…what is this, you say? Why it's a rewrite/AU of Teen Titans East, Part II. I was actually pretty disappointed with the episode, especially the ending…and the storyline that I had already made in my head? The episode kinda threw things out the window. Oh, I could rework the storyline with some effort…but why do that when you can alter the episode itself? That idea came to me, and I immediately set about writing this fic, which WILL connect to Teen Titans: Terror and Torment (which is on hold as of 2/3/04.) The idea to rewrite the episode came to me when my beta-reader, Blackshield, had some computer trouble. Basically, I was waiting to modify the chapter she was beta-reading…and…yeah, the rest came into place.

But the idea of Raven visiting Cyborg? That was an idea I had long before I decided to rewrite the episode. When it first popped into my head sometime after "Titans East Part I," I thought it would be a funny idea, nothing more…until this episode suddenly and abruptly wrote itself in my head.

Ahem…just so you know, Brother Blood won't turn himself into a robot (I prefer keeping him organic), and hopefully the ending will be a lot better than what happened on the show. Don't expect a scene where Brother Blood carves Cyborg up…but you can expect a heated battle.

Blackshield returns as my beta-reader, and boy, has she done an amazing job! I owe her many thanks for providing translations to Mas y Menos.

Read, review, and report errors. Thanks in advance.
