A few hours later Bumblebee arrived with some belongings and some food. It was obvious she had been crying and she was all shook up. When Robin made a snide comment about her she just shrugged it off. For Bumble that usually meant something was wrong.
"It was awful.. I have never seen anything like it Sparky.. Of all the villains we have faced these were the worst.. I knew them, of them and at one point I even saved a couple of them"
Raven squeezed Beast Boy's hand tightly. She knew something wasn't right. She felt something dark... Ominous.. A grim future for all those involved. Beast boy looked up at Raven. Normally the love of his life knew how to stay calm in situations.. It didn't take a mind reading charm (like the one he took from her room last week) to see she was being disturbed. He put his arm around her and held her close. Starfire had begun to cry as Robin pulled her into his lap and cuddled her. Cyborg walked in with a blanket and wrapped it around Bee's shoulders and she clung to him like a kid with their blanket. He ran his cool metal hand through her hair.
"Robin.. I think we better prepare the tower. Whatever this is I don't want it getting to us."
"What about the city Cyborg? We can't just leave them defenseless."
"How can we save them if we don't save ourselves?"
"I am the leader of this team and I say what we do."
Raven looked up at Robin.
"Cyborg is right Robin.. If we want to save anyone first we must make sure we are safe ourselves. It is stupid to have no protection. But Cyborg Robin is also right in the fact we need to save people. But to save them we need to make sure the tower is at its safest."
The two boys looked puzzled. Starfire held Silky tight in her arms, rocking back and forth.
"On my planet we have never encountered things like this..What are they?"
"Zombies."
Everyone turned to look at Raven who had a book in her hands.
"They are zombies neither living or dead. They devour anything with a beating heart. A single scratch or bite can infect a person and tjhey turn into zombies. In most cases with the rate they multiply the zombie virus can spread world wide.. Except places that are extremely cold and have no where to spread."
All eyes turned to Bumblebee. Starfire spoke up first.
All eyes turned to Bumblebee (Cyborg's for a different reason) Starfire spoke up first.
"Could she be.. the.. Zombie?"
"Nah not my Bee"
Robin of course didn't look amused.
"Cyborg take her into a different room, strip her down and check her over for any marks. If she has any I am sorry but she has to go outside."
Cyborg nodded and took her into the medical bay where he lay her on the table. Slowly he removed her clothing article by article checking her skin everywhere for any sign of infection. Taking a step back he scanned her with his robotic eye as an extra precaution. Seeing she was fine he sighed in relief. When he turned to dress her again she had awoken.
"Sparky what the hell did you do why am I naked?"
"Robin told me to examine you.. If you had any marks you would've had to go away."
Bee looked down. Cyborg put a metal finger under her chin tilting her head up to him, brushing her hair out of her face he lowered his warm, human lips to hers in a passionate kiss.
