Cyborg lays down several cables on the floor of a warehouse. "I hope this works." He pulls out a controller. "Testing," He pushes a button and an energy cage forms. "Battery life at a hundred percent and holding strong." He turns it off.

Robin cruises through the city on his motorcycle. "Starfire, any sightings?"

"No Robin. I do not see any attack."

"The alarm went off so some one set one off." Robin turns a corner and is slammed by Substance. His motorcycle skids across the pavement as his communicator flies through the air before bouncing off of a wall and breaking.

"Robin? Robin, please come in Robin."

"I heard a crash. I think we found it." Raven flies towards the noise.

Robin rolls out of the way of Substance's next attack. "Titans!" He looks around for his communicator. "Crap," He jumps out of the way of Substance's next attack. "Come on Substance you can do better then that." Robin backs away and Substance lunges at him. Robin ducks and Substance slams in to a city bench smashing it.

"Robin!" Beast Boy appears. "Where is it from here?"

"West!" Robin does a back flip dodging Substance's arm.

"Here Substance, here boy, girl, what ever you are." Beast Boy turns in to an Elephant and charges Substance.

Starfire flies down throwing energy bolts at Substance. She hits it twice on the back.

Substance feels the pressure and starts running away. "Not so fast!" Raven uses her powers forming a wall blocking one route.

"You will not escape this way either." Starfire's hands glow with energy.

Substance flees down a street before molding with a car. He comes back out of it with a new metal body.

"That won't be enough!" Logan leaps from the roof of a nearby building and slashes through Substance.

"Eat sonic!" Cyborg comes from behind a car and blasts Substance in the chest. It is knocked backwards near the warehouse. "Oh no! Don't let him get to the warehouse!" Substance turns and flees for it.

"Perfect." Robin chases after Substance.

Substance breaks through a door and finds an empty building except for a small metal cube in the middle. "I said don't let him get in here! They hold titanium if he gets that we can't hurt him!" Substance dives for the metal cube and molds with it.

"Now Cyborg!" Cyborg presses the button on the controller and… Nothing happens.

"No, no!" Cyborg hits the button again.

"Fix it! I'll distract him." Logan leaps over Cyborg with claws extended. "Titanium is tough but not tough enough!" Logan slashes at Substance and misses. He slashes again but Substance backs away and out of the trap.

"We can not let him escape." Raven's eyes glow as her power wrap around the inside of the warehouse.

"Cyborg what's wrong with it?" Robin sees Cyborg has the back of the controller open.

"When I tested it I might have fried a wire or a fuse." Cyborg pushes a couple of wires aside. "Found it, give me a minute."

"We may not have a minute." Beast Boy turns in to a Tiger and leaps on to the back of Substance. Logan spears it with his claws.

"Any day now Cyborg!" Logan ducks a swing from Substance.

"Give me a minute!" Cyborg takes a wire out. "I need a replacement."

"Here," Beast Boy hands his communicator over. Cyborg opens it up and pulls a wire out.

Logan pushes Substance back in to the confines of the trap. "Cyborg, hurry up! I can't keep playing with him he plays dirty." Logan is hit hard in the face.

"Get out its ready." Logan leaps backwards. Substance goes after him.

"Now!" Cyborg hits the button and the energy walls come up. The top and bottom form trapping Substance inside.

"Aaaa!" Logan lands hard and blood pools around his left leg. "Holy sh," Logan throws up when he sees his leg.

"Oh no, Logan, no." Raven floats towards him ready too heal him. His leg had still been partially in the area of the containment field. When the wall came up it burned through his flesh leaving only the metal of his bones.

"Heal me, it hurts, it hurts!" Logan cries in pain. Raven lands in the blood and holds her hands over his leg. She sees the metal shine in the light of her powers.

"I don't know if I can heal this."

"I heal fast, with your help it will only take a minute, please try." Raven's powers surround his injured leg. Flesh regrows slowly with a sickening noise. Blood vessels grow first, sending blood spraying through them as the muscle, tendons, and skin grows behind them. Raven ignores the blood around her feet, spraying on her clothes and hands, and focuses on healing Logan.

When the last of his flesh grows over his toes he passes out. "Logan? Logan," Raven leans over him.

"Is he ok?" Beast Boy runs over.

"He's breathing. He's lucky he's alive." Raven stands up.

"Uh Raven, you ok? Do you need a napkin," Beast Boy looks her over and sees blood splattered all over her. "Or a towel?"

"I'll take a shower and change when we go back." She turns towards the captured Substance. "Now what?"

"I'll bring the T Ship in and carry him too the new enclosure the city built. With the power source at the tower no one could release him."

"Starfire, take Logan too the tower. Make sure he's ok." Raven opens a black portal and steps through it.

"That was very not pleasant." Starfire looks at Logan's bare foot. "He will need a new shoe."

"And clothes. He's lying in his own blood." Beast Boy makes a face. "Could you not take him to my room? I don't think I have any thing that would fit him."

"I'll go and get him new clothes after dropping Substance off." Robin clears his throat. "What?"

"Who said he's allowed at the tower?"

"Robin his designs and plans worked! Logan lost half his leg so we could capture him. I don't care if you don't want him there Raven and I do."

"As do I." Starfire picks him up carefully so she doesn't get blood on her.

"Same here." Beast Boy stands with Starfire and Cyborg. "I don't know what your problem with him is but seriously dude get over it."

"He comes out of no where saying he was in the lair of the Brotherhood and that some one ransacked it. We go there and find out his uncle was an ally of theirs. His cousin comes in and works for Deathstroke. For all we know he was the one who went through the lair. He disappears after Deathstroke steals Adamantium and comes back with it in his bones. He claims it was his fathers but how do we know?"

"Raven read his mind before. She would have told us if there was any thing dark inside." Starfire starts flying with Logan in her arms.

"If he hurts any of you I won't say I told you so." Robin walks out of the building looking for the pieces of his communicator and checking on his motorcycle.

After a shower and fresh clothes Raven goes to the room they kept medical equipment in. Logan was on the table awake. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for the help. It might have taken another five minutes with out it." He raises his foot and wiggles his toes. "I have all five little piggies again."

"Whose clothes are you wearing?"

"Cyborg bought some and had Star bring them back. Not my usual colors but they're clean." Logan gets off of the table. He has dark blue jeans and a white t shirt on. "He didn't buy shoes since he didn't know my shoe size."

"Thank you for your help. I'm glad you're ok." A half smile appears on Raven's face then disappears.

"I'm glad I heal fast or else I might miss the championship game tomorrow night."

"What game?"

"The football game. Didn't Beast Boy ask you to go? Support the city and all that."

"No. Football is not my thing."

"Ok, well, Cyborg said he wouldn't go either so you'll have company." Logan laughs a little. "I thought Cyborg would have been all for it."

"He was a football player before his accident." This is all Raven says before she leaves.

"Oh, uh, bad memories I guess." Logan gets back on the table and lies down. "This is a lot softer then a sleeping bag on a roof." He closes his eyes and falls asleep quickly.

Insert Japanese Intro here

The next night the Titans, and Logan are at the stadium. Beast Boy is in a dunk tank as a boar, the other team's mascot.

Robin and Starfire are up in the stands. "Thank you for coming out."

"After beating Substance we all needed a break." They sit close too each other. "What do you think about the game?"

"They fight for the skin of a pig so they can touch down in the zone? How do they fly?"

"No, the endzone is where they take the football, also called the pigskin, and score a touchdown." Robin continues trying to explain the sport.

Logan is talking with a couple cheerleaders when some one taps him on the shoulder. "One second ladies I," He turns around and sees Psykick in a cheerleader uniform. "What are you doing here?"

"Trying out some thing D made." She physically punches Logan in the face. "Ow, still hurts."

"What did he do?"

"Well my healing isn't as good as yours. But he made a chemical that enhances my healing. So after giving enough doses to kill a normal human he found a way to put Adamantium in me. So far this," She holds her right arm up. "Is all I have done."

"Are you crazy?"

"Maybe."

"That was a rhetorical question." Logan backs away. "We can't fight here."

"Why not? I knew you and the Titans would be here. After borrowing this outfit I got in, watched, and got bored."

"Borrowed? You stole it didn't you?"

"Borrowed with out asking from some blonde bimbo with really big," She smiles wickedly. "Personalities. And guess what?"

"What?"

"The chemical D made also makes me a lot faster." Logan gasps as he realizes what Psykick took.

"V9? Are you crazy Psykick?"

"Once again maybe. And it isn't Velocity 9, D calls it Velocity 10. He removed most of the side effects by diluting the chemicals that make you feel so good!" She laughs. "It makes my metabolism run faster, my healing run faster, and my mind go faster. Once I am just like you I'll be immortal but better!"

"Psykick you can't think I'd let that happen." Logan starts extending his claws. "Father said the only way we could die is be beheaded, and even that might not be a hundred percent reliable."

"You can't do that and I know it."

"Really? Am I a Titan? Am I really that good of a guy?"

"That won't work on me. Terra was well, terrified, but I know it's all a bluff." Psykick points her left hand at the visiting team's bleachers. "Should I take out the supports or just blast a hole in the crowd?"

"Does V10 make those powers stronger?"

"Of course like I said they make my mind go faster and my powers are connected with my mind." She starts moving her fingers. "What do you think would kill more people?"

"If you kill some one I'll kill you." Logan extends the claw on his index finger all the way. He makes a motion across his throat.

"You couldn't and wouldn't I know you all too well." Psykick flicks her right hand at Logan hitting him in the chest with her powers. He flies backwards and crashes in to a trash can knocking it over. People start screaming as Logan gets up.

Beast Boy is with a couple of female students. "It's what I can do. Go Knights!"

"It's so cool that you guys watch football just like we do!"

"And your ears, they're really cute but I'm sure you hear that all the time." Beast Boy smiles and laughs.

"You know it. What kind of parties are being held after the game? Maybe we could," Beast Boy hears the screaming. "That sounds like trouble."

"What are you going to do?"

"Do what a Titan does best, kick butt." He morphs in to a cheetah and takes off towards the screaming.

Psykick stays out of Logan's reach. "Come on! You can do better then that Logan." She ducks under his next attack and punches him hard with her right hand in the one place he didn't have Adamantium bone. He drops to the ground gripping himself and getting out half word half agonizing screams. "Oops, sorry about that." She kicks him in the stomach.

"Stop!" Beast Boy runs at her. When he gets close he turns in to an Armadillo and rolls up forming a ball. He hits Psykick in the face knocking her backwards and morphs back. "Logan are you ok? What did she do to you?"

"Call, the other, Titans." Logan is still recovering from Psykick's cheap shot. Beast Boy gets his communicator out and contacts the other Titans.

"We have to get her away from here. If any of the people here get hurt it will be on us." Robin leaps over several rows of bleachers and lands on the ground. "Titans go!"

Psykick runs away laughing. "Come on catch me if you can!" She moves so fast she looks like a blur.

"What the? How, when could she do that?" Beast Boy turns in to a wolf and chases after her.

Cyborg and Raven are playing cards. "Go fish." Raven draws a card as her communicator beeps.

"Robin?"

"Psykick is at the football game. Get here now!"

"We'll be there." Raven closes the communicator. "Let's go."

Psykick leaps on top of a statue of the founder of the school. "Ooo, don't have a cow man." She rips the head off. "Hey Star buddy, catch!" She throws it hard at Starfire hitting her in the chest.

"Star!"

"I am fine." Starfire's eyes glow. "She will not be fine." Starfire throws energy bolts which Psykick easily dodges.

"Be careful! Deathstroke made some new drug." Logan had finally recovered from the cheap shot. "She's faster in every way. Physically, mentally, making her powers stronger and her healing."

"She was hard enough before!" Beast Boy quickly changes in to a viper.

"Careful!" Logan sees the statue rise in the air with Psykick riding on top.

"You can't touch this." She laughs. "Woo! The stuff gives you a heck of a rush!" She leaps off of the statue as it flies at the Titans. Starfire knocks it out of the air.

"It will destroy your body Psykick. I don't care what he did Velocity 9 is deadly always."

"But it isn't V9! He made it better!" She turns invisible.

"I can't see her, only Raven and Cyborg can."

"Be careful she'll try and sneak behind us." Logan keeps turning.

"Oompf!" Robin is hit in the stomach. Starfire throws two energy bolts. Psykick grabs Robin and uses him as a shield.

"Robin! I am sorry!" Psykick tosses Robin aside.

"Come on Psykick show yourself!"

"She's running towards the stadium." Logan turns and sees Raven standing in front of a portal as Cyborg steps out. "There is some thing about her that is different. I can barely see her."

"The drug is affecting her that much? Holy crap I don't know if we should fight her or help her."

"Help her? What did we miss?"

"Cyborg, can you see her?" He nods. "Is her body temp up?"

"Actually yeah, how did you know?"

"Deathstroke made some new drug from V9 and she is using it. Be careful she is faster, stronger, and even more dangerous."

"We'll see about that." Raven flies after Psykick.

Psykick runs through the crowd pushing people aside drawing strange looks as she was still invisible. "Out of the way!" Cyborg leaps over some one Psykick had pushed down. "You're not crazy she's invisible!" He slides under a banner and tries cutting Psykick off.

Psykick sees an opening for the field. She runs through the crows, past the bleachers, and out on the field. A play is going and she sees the ball going for a wide receiver. "Yoink." She grabs it with her powers and brings it to herself. Still invisible and holding the ball she runs the other way.

"Amazing! The ball has a mind of its own how can we explain this? The referees have thrown the flag, but what penalty is this? In all my years of calling plays I never saw any thing like this!"

"Uh, you're a sophomore, you've been doing it for two years."

"Like I said in all my years I never saw a play like this before."

Psykick spikes the ball in the endzone. "Woo! Who's the best, I'm the best, score!"

"Score this." Raven's powers wrap around the goal post. The uprights swing down at Psykick. She leaps over them, does a back handspring, and lands near the home team.

"Try that again Emo." Psykick laughs.

"I'm goth!" The uprights are ripped out of the ground.

"Raven don't you might hit the other team!" Cyborg is at the half field mark. "Out of the way!" He has his arm raised but the players are blocking his shot.

"Aaaa!" The football players are sent flying through the air by Psykick's powers. One lands on Cyborg knocking him down. Before Cyborg can recover he feels some thing poke his red eye.

"I wonder how you'll see me with out this!" Psykick shoves her finger through the red eye. "If I keep pushing will I reach your brain?"

"Stop!" Cyborg tries throwing Psykick off but she keeps her grip on his eye socket. "Stop!" He feels pressure on his other eye from the inside.

"Leave him alone!" A football player throws himself at the air over Cyborg hitting Psykick and knocking her off of Cyborg.

"How did he see me?" Psykick backs away. "He just got lucky." She gets ready to attack.

"Whoa, see I told you some thing was there!" A football player holds his hand out and finds Psykick.

"I got it!"

"Hey watch your hands you little bas," A football player tackles her from behind.

"I got it!" The football player has less then a second of victory before he goes flying in the air. "Aaaa!"

"I got you." Starfire catches the player. "You are ok?"

"Yeah, I'm really ok now." Starfire does not get his innuendo.

"Good." She flies down and lowers him on to the field.

Psykick runs off of the field. Raven starts flying after her but Robin tells her not to. "Cyborg's hurt, badly."

"No, I'm fine, go after her. She just tripped a couple of my circuits." Cyborg is paralyzed. "My heart and lung functions remain active. I'll be ok just get her!"

"It's ok we'll get a chance at her again." Robin kneels down next to Cyborg. "Wow, your eye, can you fix it?"

"I don't know man. Once you reset my circuits I'll get on it." Cyborg laughs nervously.

"Star, could you fly him back?"

"Yes Robin." Starfire picks Cyborg up and flies back to the tower.

"I knew this was a bad idea. We should have been looking for Deathstroke not doing this."

"It wasn't a bad idea Robin. The people loved it." Beast Boy looks around. "Hey, it's ok, we ran her off." He smiles and waves.

"The green one, Beast Boy is waving to the crowd. Was this part of the game or was it a real attack? Maybe one of our school reporters can get an interview later. But it does appear the ruckus is over. Let's get back to football!"

Starfire gets Cyborg to his room. "What do I do?"

"Plug the red end in to my port." She does. "Ok, hit the switch."

"This will fix you?"

"Yes." She flips the switch. There is a loud humming noise and a couple of sparks.

"Is that it?" Cyborg sits up and pulls the cable out.

"Thanks Star." Cyborg stretches. "I have a lot of work. I hope I can fix my eye."

"I will hope with you."

"No, wait for the others. I'm sure Robin will want to talk about this." Starfire nods and leaves the room.

The Titans, and Logan, are at the tower. "She said Deathstroke made some new drugs out of Velocity 9. She was using them and as you all saw she was different."

"She was faster and some thing about her changed. I could barely see her." Raven's eyes glow. "I'll work on modifying my powers so I can see her clearly again."

"And she ran hotter. Logan what do you know about Velocity 9?"

"The only first hand experiences I've had with it were users who used too much. They always died, we can't save them, we can only try and keep them from hurting others." Logan hangs his head low. "But with her healing abilities I'm not sure how it would affect her. She said it made her mind faster so her psychic powers were stronger. But I don't know if it was hurting her like it does others." Starfire raises her hands.

"Why would you take some thing that will kill you? We do not have any thing like that on my home planet."

"Because it makes them feel good and is addictive. Same reason people smoke and drink. Except those usually take years before they do any major harm. V9 can kill a person on the first use."

"But Deathstroke made some thing new. What could he have made out of it? Do you think he could start selling it here?" Logan shrugs his shoulders.

"I don't know. I don't know Deathstroke or this new drug. Maybe he found a way to remove the negative side effects. Or reduce them so he could keep his customers longer."

"Even if he did why would he sell it? I'm pretty sure he has money."

"He does. The check he made out for the charity Cy did passed." Beast Boy looks towards the door. "Any word on his eye?"

"I reset his circuits. He'll get his eye fixed so don't worry Beast Boy."

"I hope so."

In Deathstroke's lair Psykick is lying on a table shaking. "I'm crashing, you, you said you would stop this." She clenches her teeth holding back a scream.

"Your physiology is different than that of a normal person. I have cut the crash from them but you might suffer for a little longer yet. Think of it as punishment."

"I tried! I took his eye out. I was shoving my finger in when I hit metal. Next time I'll kill him I swear!" She let's out a scream as her mind explodes in pain.

"Hmmm, interesting. If she keeps using it her mind may destroy itself." Deathstroke ignores her screams as he studies the information.

Logan goes and checks on Cyborg. "Wow man, where did you get that stuff?"

"From the guy who saved me."

"Oh, is he a doctor?"

"No, he's dead. But he made sure I could replicate and fix his work."

"So he saved your life with this tech? Do you let others have it? I'm sure the government would love having the blueprints. Imagine how many soldiers who come home with missing limbs would be given new lives."

"No. If they fell in the wrong hands I would be vulnerable."

"Oh, well, did you contact NASA about the T Ship?" He shakes his head. "Why not? You could save NASA billions a year and lives. They're planning another shot at the moon and with a T Ship they could get there with no risk."

"If Deathstroke got the plans he'd know how too disable the T Ship."

"Then make another defense on it or some thing. Seriously Cy its annoying seeing all of this advanced technology paid for by the tax payers and they not getting it back."

"When we save the city they're getting it back."

"The city does but what about the world? NASA could go to Mars, Venus, any where with the T Ship. Imagine the scientific discoveries they would make. And I heard it can go underwater? Imagine what they would find! When they did a full scan of Loch Ness they found three new life forms! With a T Ship who knows what else they could find."

"No I won't risk it." Logan let's out a frustrated groan.

"Fine, what ever. I'm glad you'll be ok." He leaves Cyborg's room.

A/N So… They capture Substance. One less bad guy too deal with. But Deathstroke has made some new drug and gave it to Psykick. It made her stronger, faster, but will she use it again? And why was she ordered to kill Cyborg and not say, Raven or Beast Boy? We will find out I'm sure!
