Malpractice

Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, and Raven walked in a group into the garage that housed the various vehicles created and/or retro fit by Cyborg. The half teen half machine crime fighter currently labored under the T-Ship.

"Okay Cyborg, we're all here," said Robin stopping some distance from him.

"What was soooo cool it couldn't wait until after lunch?" asked Raven blankly. He jumped out from under the T-Ship and pointed to it enthusiastically.

"Wellllll?" They all glanced at the ship and noticed nothing different. "What do yall think?" Raven shrugged.

"About what?"

"The modifications I just finished making," responded Cyborg as though she were missing something blatantly obvious. He soon caught on that they didn't know at all what he had done. "I've been going over recorded sensor logs from instances like our trips to Tamaran and the battle against the Etens over the ocean, and I've found a way to significantly reduce the g-force during acceleration." Beast Boy raised his hand. "Yes," said Cyborg already seeing it coming.

"I thought you put a new coat of paint on it." Starfire examined the T-Ship.

"I believe friend Cyborg is trying to announce that he has installed a series of inertial dampeners to decrease the pressure of increased velocity."

"Thank-you!" exclaimed Cyborg holding his arms out to Starfire.

"That makes it any clearer how?" asked Beast Boy to Raven. Starfire took Cyborg's gesture literally and flew up to strongly embrace him. Robin smiled at her cheeriness then joined her in the examination of their craft.

"Inertial dampeners huh? That should come in handy at some point."

"You know it. When fully activated they will reduce the overall inertia by ninety-three percent. In short; we shouldn't feel a thing even when doing a barrel roll." Raven nodded along with everyone else.

"Yes very cool, innovative, and what not….can we go now?"

"Hold on, that's not the only thing I tweaked. Follow me…." He said in keeping with his overly enthusiastic tone. Robin playfully rolled his eyes making Starfire giggle as they walked out in Cyborg's wake. They followed him up four more floors all the way to the door leading into sickbay. "You ready for this?"

"I'm ready to eat," said Beast Boy. Robin struggled to hold in a sputter. Cyborg only grinned as nothing, it seemed, could spoil his mood. He led them inside the medical facility and the moment the door slid shut a holographic image of a young man appeared before them.

"Hello, welcome to sickbay. How my I help you?" They all blinked several times then turned their astonishment on a marveling Cyborg.

Teen Titans

--------

The holographic image looked around at each of them with a plain smile. Robin walked forward from the awestruck group and stood before the hologram. He waved his hand back and forth through the image. "Are you a-"

"Hologram? Yes, that is the crude term. Although I am more formally known as a isometric digital projection, which has been brought into your visible spectrum by means of concentrated photons and force fields." Robin looked him and down then crossed his arms.

"I knew that." Cyborg smiled and joined Robin up next to his creation.

"Say hello to the tower's first holographic doctor." Raven arched an eyebrow. "If our real life doctor…" He glanced back at Raven who merely waved back. "Ever gets overwhelmed for whatever reason he can help out." Starfire pointed a staggering finger at the doctor.

"Umm, I am open to the possibility that I may be mistaken….but to me he very much resembles friend Jericho." They all looked from her to the doctor and indeed he did look a lot like him. Cyborg nodded unsurely.

"Well…" The doctor took the floor.

"My visual avatar was indeed based off the likeness of the Teen Titan Jericho." They all sent estranged looks toward Cyborg.

"Alright look I was going out of my mind trying to think of what to make him look like," said Cyborg rather quickly. "For some reason Jericho popped into my mind and with his permission I based the doctor off of him." Beast Boy nodded pensively.

"I always wondered what ol' Jerry would sound like." Raven glanced at him oddly.

"Jerry?" Robin gave Cyborg an approving shrug. Starfire glanced at the wall clock and clapped her hands together.

"OH friends! It is nearing the time of our beach getaway." Robin checked the clock and his watch for confirmation.

"Oh yeah it is. Come on." They all followed Robin out of sickbay. Cyborg hung back feeling miffed of their overall reactions.

"Hey, guys…" They stopped and turned back. "Just tell me the truth guys; you don't like it do?" The all glanced at one another.

"No it-its fine Cyborg," stammered Robin. He did not seem convinced in the slightest. He turned his head back to his teammates for help. Raven and Starfire chimed in.

"I-I'm looking forward to working with him…it..whatever."

"Yes it is very much the bomb." The two girls looked at each other uneasily then glided away as fast as possible. Beast Boy followed suit but before Robin could escape Cyborg held him back.

"Come on man tell me what it is," pleaded Cyborg. Robin sighed scratching the back of his head.

"Well it's just…"

"What?"

"He's a hologram right?" Cyborg nodded irritably. "Well how's he supposed to hold anything?"

"Rob do you really want me to take the ten minuets I need to explain that?"

"Cyborg it's not that we don't like it, it's an innovation that may very well come in extremely handy in the future. Just for the record though; if at any time I need my colon worked on or something, I'd rather have Raven do it." Cyborg thought for a moment then nodded.

"Fair enough." They continued on their way to the common room. "Incidentally though what do you think we should call him?" Robin shook his head comically.

"I don't know; Dave?"

"What!" The boy wonder shrugged apologetically.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sorry Star, no beach today." said Beast Boy as they looked out the window at the torrential downpour that recently began. Starfire, already dressed and prepared for the outdoors, sagged shoulders and walked away with a saddened groan. Robin stepped up to the window to observe the storm. Lighting flashed violently about four times making Robin move back from the window.

"This looks like it could get ugly. Beast Boy, why don't you raise the lighting rods please."

"You bet ya," responded the changeling. He walked over to a wall terminal and began typing in the necessary commands. The screen before him displayed a number of metal poles rising up from the roof. The tower had in place about a dozen lighting rods which functioned to catch potentially dangerous lighting strikes and allow them a way to safely run down the tower into the ocean. Beast Boy tapped the last key but as he was walking away an alerting beep drew him back. "Oh wouldn't ya know it, hey Rob!" Beast Boy pointed to a particular rod as Robin trotted up beside him. "This one's malfunctioning, we can't raise it here it has to be done manually outside."

"Alright I'll take care of it." Raven and Starfire looked at each other.

"Messing with a fuse box outside in the rain; doesn't sound very safe." Warned Raven.

"I'll be fine, special gloves," assured Robin holding up his green gloved hands. They all sent each other unsure looks but allowed Robin to embark on his self appointed quest.

The door to the roof swung open and Robin darted out into the unceasing rain with his cape pulled up over his head. He looked around at the various stations until he came across the one in question. The lighting rod was extended halfway but was short of its functioning height. Robin opened the control box on the side and went to work reconnecting wires and pressing various switches. A short spark issued from the box and rod began to resume its ascent. Robin gazed upward blinked several times from the rain.

"That's it! I got it up!" He yelled over the sound of the rain into his comm. link. He turned to leave but remembered he left the control box open. As soon as his hand touched the small metal cover a small bolt of lighting struck the nearly raised rod and sent a strong current all the way down to Robin. The boy wonder was blown backward off his feet sliding across the roof all the way to the door. Inside the common room the remaining Titans were mildly surprised when the tower suddenly went dead. Lights faded to black with the computer screens soon following. Starfire turned her head upwards getting a bad feeling about the cause. Outside Robin lay curled up in a ball shivering madly. He heard the door open followed by two hands hoisting him off the ground.

Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy stood about the common room using flashlights to provide light. They then heard the sound of the doors being struggled open and upon shining their lights in the general direction found Starfire emerging with Robin in her arms.

"What happened?" asked Cyborg. Starfire lay Robin down on the couch and covered him with a dry blanket.

"I believe Robin has been…err...electrocuted?" Raven looked from Starfire to Robin and groaned.

"Ugh, didn't I tell you not to get struck by lighting?"

"Whhaatssinmmflt…" sputtered Robin. Raven nodded sitting down beside him. They shined their lights, accompanied by Starfire lit hand, to give Raven plenty of illumination.

"Yeah well I'm sure you didn't mean for it to happen." She began to lay her restorative hands upon him but paused. When the other three finally noticed she was delaying intentionally they pondered why.

"What is it?" inquired Beast Boy.

"His body is still fairly charged from the strike, I'm afraid my powers might do more damage than good."

"Well then what can we do?" asked Starfire. They entered thought until Beast Boy snapped his fingers insightfully.

"Hey what about that holo-doc Cyborg came up with?" They all looked over at Cyborg for confirmation. Raven placed her hand against Robin's forehead and cheeks. She looked back at Cyborg.

"Can he? Because Robin needs help and fast."

"I might be able to divert enough power from the backup generators to sickbay. Worst comes to worst though we may have to fly him out of here to the hospital." Starfire took another look at the shivering boy wonder.

"Do what you must." He saluted her and tapped Beast Boy's shoulder to tell him to come along. Raven instructed Starfire to provide her with a variety of items to better Robin's comfort before he could receive proper medical attention.

-----

Beast Boy's flashlight along with Cyborg's shoulder lamp lit a series of hydroelectric generators linked to the subterranean launch tube beneath the tower. Beast Boy held the control chips while Cyborg rerouted a couple of wires. Cyborg looked over his work and spotted something he missed.

"Hey, hand me the auxiliary backup drive." Beast Boy tapped his flashlight against his head.

"Are you done talking to yourself?" Cyborg rolled his eyes.

"Hand me the one that looks like a Dorito."

"There now was that so hard?" asked Beast Boy wittingly. Cyborg took the chip from him and after inserting it into the slot found a limited array of lights return to life. He tapped the comm. link on his arm.

"Hey girls, I wasn't able to devote the backup generators to sickbay exclusively but power has been restored that level."

-----

"Understood, thank you Cyborg," responded Starfire. Raven telekinetically summoned a gurney on which they gently placed Robin. With haste they wheeled him down the halls all the way through the doors of sickbay. As soon as they entered the doctor appeared again out of thin air.

"Hello, how may I help y-"

"Will you just shut up and get over here," snapped Raven. He didn't bother to continue his intro but walked over to Robin's side. "He got struck by lighting, sort of." The doctor looked at her strangely. "Probably what happened was he was touching part of the apparatus when the lighting traveled down the metal construction."

"I see, very well it would be best to limit the amount of static in the room." Starfire and Raven glanced at one another. "The two of you should leave; I will inform you immediately when I am finished."

"You are certain you will be able to manage?" questioned Starfire.

"I assure you I am fully annotated in human as well as Tamaranian anatomy, if there are any in the tower capable of helping him it is I." Raven's face fell somewhat. "Now please exit sickbay." He shoed them away then turned his attention back to Robin. Starfire and Raven entered the observation room adjacent to sickbay to watch the ongoing procedure. Raven sat with her arms crossed.

"Starfire?"

"Yes Raven?"

"I'm a competent doctor right?" For a moment it appeared Starfire didn't understand the question. She considered the possibility that Raven may merely be joking. She then became aware of the rare but obvious pleading look on Raven's features and put a hand to her mouth incredulously.

"Oh of course you are Raven. The number of times you have saved the lives of each of us is near uncountable." She sent a sideways glance toward sickbay and found the origin of Raven's concern. "Raven you should not concern yourself by what he said." Raven looked down at the floor. Starfire took Raven's shoulder and gave her a warm smile. "There is no other physician I would trust more." Raven felt her spirits lift somewhat.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The rest of the lights gradually came back to life within the tower just as Robin exited sickbay rolling his left shoulder. "That's gonna be sore for a good week." He flipped open his comm. link to check on any reports he might have missed while out for the count. He saw, with slight disappointment, that today the city chose to remain utterly tranquil. With no reports to devote his time Robin made his way to the gym. He walked in already finding Cyborg and Raven finishing their routines. Cyborg stuck his weights back up on the rack as Robin sat down to begin his own set.

"Hey you sure you should be doing heavy lifting?"

"I'll be fine."

"Might wanna take it easy; it'd be for your own good." Suggested Raven. Robin paused with a note of irritation.

"Raven, if its one thing I absolutely cannot stand its people telling me what's for my own good."

"You were struck by lighting," said Cyborg in a scolding. "Any normal person would at least take a seat for a while. Jeeze Rob you really are nuts sometimes." Robin nodded through the effort of lifting his weights.

"Yeah..well…ump…never could picture myself..ump..chained to the couch with no one but..ump..Opera for company." He set the weights down to take a rest. "Besides; I've had torture inducing nano probes injected into my body, breathed in a killer hallucinogen, eaten God knows how much pie, got frozen solid, been to hell and back again. Ya know a little jolt just might seem small in the grand scheme of things." Cyborg shrugged and wiping down his neck with a rag left the gym.

"How do you feel?" asked Raven.

"Fine," responded Robin plainly. "That doc Cyborg put together sure knows what he's doing." Raven looked about uneasily then as she opened her mouth to speak Robin cut her off. "I know what you're gonna say, you're not being replaced Raven." She arched a brow.

"Oh so now you're a mind reader?"

"Star paid me a visit a while ago." Raven hung her head in defeat. "Oh come on Raven, you're the last person I would expect to be thinking anything like this. They took me to the doc because you weren't able to help me. There's nothing wrong with that, you can't help everyone you're not God."

"Fair enough, but I still think Cyborg should rethink this whole doctor thing. I don't mind saying I have a bad feeling about this."

"Yup you're paranoid," concluded Robin.

"I am not!" exclaimed Raven.

"Admit it, you are." Said Robin lifting a dumbbell. Raven crossed her arms and in her anxiety blew apart a punching bag across the room. The PA system then synthesized Starfire's voice.

"Robin please report to sickbay."

"I told her I would do the follow up tonight." Raven nodded in agreement.

"Well you know Star."

"Yes, I do." Replied Robin with a grin. He left Raven thus she went back to her levitation exercises.

--------

Robin entered sickbay but found no trace of the alien red head. He looked about the different areas. "Starfire? Hello? Star?" Robin made yet another sweep of the room and yet again found it to be devoid of life. "Okay Star, you can come out now." The doctor materialized behind him.

"She is not here." Robin spun around.

"Jeeze! Don't do that again. And what do you mean she's not here, she just told me to come."

"No, that was me." Robin regarded him suspiciously.

"Say again?"

"Using a recorded transmission from a prior mission I was able to reprogram my vocal subroutine to mimic Starfire's voice in order to lure you here." Robin was taken aback.

"L-Lure me? What are you talking about?" The doctor remained silent. "I think Cyborg should take a look at you."

"I cannot allow you to leave." Robin stopped before the door. It failed to open. "At least I cannot let you go for now. I must confine the others as well before they make any attempt to leave the tower."

"What're you gonna do? Mimic my voice?" asked Robin curtly. The doctor tilted his head and at once a metallic arm, normally used in environments no human hand can enter, seized Robin and pulled back to a bed. "NO! STOP!" IT pined him down long enough for the doctor to lock restraints around Robin's wrists and ankles. "What is the matter with you?"

"You are sick, you are all very very sick. And I must take care of you. Fortunately a vast array of holo-emitters has been emplaced throughout the tower. You'll find I can be in many places at once."

"We will shut you down!"

"Oh I don't think so. It is after all…for your own good." He dematerialized leaving Robin to himself. He struggled against his bonds but knew he could break free on brute strength alone.

"You obviously don't know me that well," said Robin smugly. He moved his wrist about until a thin needle was spat out for his use. He took it in his fingers and went to work freeing himself.

--------

Cyborg and Beast Boy sat on the couch tapping their feet. They sat awaiting the third player for their game. Beast Boy twirled the controller about in his hands then expertly caught it.

"Alright that's it, I'm gonna sniff him out." He morphed into a hound dog and took up the trail.

"I told you two he's in the gym," said Raven annoyed by Beast Boy's needless efforts. Starfire closed a magazine at the counter.

"I do find it odd that Robin would miss the opportunity to defend his high score. Perhaps we should go in search of him."

"That will not be necessary." They heard the voice before the doctor actually materialized before them. "Robin is resting comfortably in sickbay."

"Is he really?" asked Starfire relieved. "Again it is behavior a bit unusual for Robin, but welcoming nonetheless." She said with smiling with her hands laced together. Raven however was not so taken in by this news.

"I think I'll go check on him."

"He cannot have visitors," the doctor said immediately. Raven turned back with her arms crossed.

"And why not?"

"He is being held in forced containment, as the rest of you will be." Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy drew back to the doctor.

"What did you say?" asked Cyborg. "Computer deactivate emergency medical hologram." It was obvious they were no longer in control as the system failed to respond to Cyborg's command. "Why are you doing this?"

"You charge me with your wellbeing and yet you continually engage in acts of self-inflicted injury and perhaps loss of life, this is something I simply cannot allow." Raven caught fleetingly caught Beast Boy's apprehensive glance. "Either I will discover a means of making you impervious to injury or you shall remain here within the safe confines of the tower for the rest of your days." With that he was gone. Raven lowered her hood and rubbed her temples.

"Oh Cyborg," said Raven in a tone devoid of patience. "Is there a reason the 'doc' is imprisoning us within our own home?"

"Well you heard him; he wants to make us invisible."

"That's not what I meant; I meant how any of this is possible?" Cyborg threw his arms up.

"I don't know, he's just a subsystem of the medical archive. He shouldn't be able to access the tower's mainframe like this."

"And yet he is doing just that," said Starfire nervously.

"Thanks Star," replied a wound up Cyborg. He then began pacing back and forth going over any kind of scenario. "This just can't happen; the only way a melding of the two systems could occur would be from a strong surge. But no, the tower's protected up and down from that kind of stuff. I mean the only thing man made or natural that could cause such damage would be…"

"A bolt of lighting?" prompted Beast Boy. Cyborg hated to admit it but the flaw existed and thus the answer to their dilemma.

"Yeah…" Beast Boy snickered.

"Just when I thought this place couldn't get any crazier…"

"Fine we got the cause out of the way, now we need to focus on how to shut him down," said Raven.

"Perhaps if we were to rescue Robin our chances of victor would increase from greater numbers," suggested Starfire. Cyborg shook his head.

"No I don't think we want to attract too much attention to ourselves. Plus I doubt he's in any real danger, the doc think he's trying to save us. Fortunately I have my own memory chip to work with, I call it my brain." He flipped open his shoulder light, which doubled as a projector, and displayed a rough layout of the tower. "The only way to access or otherwise cut power to sickbay would be in this maintenance tube here." He pointed to a spot on the schematic. "At the same time power has to be slowly shut off where I diverted it with backup generators."

"So who's going?" asked Beast Boy. Cyborg thought for a moment then took up his position as second in command.

"The maintenance tube is your job Raven, Star you take the generators. BB and I will do our best to keep the doc concentrated on us. Girls do your best not to get taken, if you do I'm sure-" He stopped mid sentence at his communicator alerted him. He looked down at his arm to find Robin looking back at him. "Rob?"

"Hey guys, Cyborg I'm not sure if you noticed but the doctor has gone just a little bit insane."

"We noticed," deadpanned Raven. "We're doing our best to retake the tower but its going to be hard with him being able to pop up anywhere. Can you get out sickbay?" In the medical facility Robin knocked a few times against the solid metal slab guarding the entrance.

"That's a negative, quarantine protocol I'm going anywhere anytime soon."

"Do not despair Robin, we will succeed." Assured Starfire. He nodded and ended his short transmission. The remaining Titans split up toward their respective assignments. Raven, the only able to move completely freely through the tower moved up through the ceiling until she reached her destination. Starfire flew down the stairs left and right never pausing even to take a breath. She frequently looked over her shoulder afraid of the possibility that the doctor was somehow following her. Cyborg and Beast Boy were first to begin their task. They stopped in front of the two enormous doors that led out of the tower.

"You ready?" asked Cyborg.

"Ready Freddy," replied Beast Boy. They waited another few seconds then began charging toward the main door. Just as they suspected to doctor appeared before it with his hands outstretched.

"Halt!" Cyborg and Beast Boy ran right through him with the intent of ramming on through the door also. "NO! You cannot leave! It's not safe!" He touched the door just Beast Boy came in contact with it sending an electric shock through his body.

"BB!" Shouted Cyborg. He hit his fists together. "You are sooo asking to be deleted man."

"It is you who should be ashamed," scolded the doctor. "I only have your best interests at heart you repay it with violence, aggression, and subterfuge." Cyborg grew anxious. "I know the other two endeavor to deactivate me, I assure you they will fail."

"We'll see about that," said Cyborg through gritted teeth. Beast Boy got back to his feet and wasted no time in joining Cyborg in trying to knock down the door again. The doctor knew it would take awhile even for their combined strength to break down the door. With that in mind he chose to devote his attention elsewhere. Beast Boy saw him disappear.

"Umm dude, I don't think we're distracting him all that well." Cyborg cast a critical look around the entrance hall for anything that might help. He spotted a computer outlet and ran over to it.

--------

Starfire knelt down beside a generator and on Raven's signal began to slowly power down each one. It wasn't long, however, before the doctor appeared by her side looking appalled by what she was doing.

"W-What are you doing?" Starfire tried to ignore him and stay with her objective. "STOP!"

"You are malfunctioning therefore we must deactivate you," said Starfire continuing. The doctor shook his head and looked upward. Silence passed between them and then Starfire felt something foreign enter her nose and mouth. She coughed several times. "What is happening?"

"Please forgive me, but I cannot allow you to continue. I am using the tower's ventilation system to fill the room with anesthesia."

"What!" exclaimed Starfire.

"I-I am sorry." Her vision grew blurry. Starfire moved to get up but already she found she was far too tired to do so.

"Wait, n-no….no…" Her eyelids drooped sleepily and she crumpled to the floor unconscious.

-----

Cramped in a huddle within the maintenance tube Raven paused as she no longer heard Starfire reporting her progress. "Starfire? Starfire report." Raven moved the panel cover she'd removed away even further for more comfort. If the doctor had gotten to Starfire then Raven would have to find a way to deal with it on her own. The doctor's head popped up out of the floor.

"I know you never liked me." She startled tremendously nearly dropping her tools. "But is that truly any reason to kill me?" Raven looked at him and went back to work.

"You're a piece of software not a living being; I doubt very much this counts as killing you."

"And that is something your inferior human mind could not comprehend." Raven decided not to be insulted by it as his behavior was the result of a malfunction. Plus it seemed enormously pointless to argue with someone who wasn't even alive. "Please, stop. I have no wish to harm any of you. I do this for your own protection."

"Going into dangerous situations is what we do," said Raven still probing and disconnecting. We accepted it a long time ago so you might as well start now." He shook his head somberly.

"I am sorry I could not make you see reason." The same electric shock he used to incapacitate Beast Boy now produced a painful yelp from Raven. She was thrown back form the panel and in the small space cracked her head against the low ceiling. She lay motionless while doctor considered leaving her behind. "In the struggle for survival, sacrifices must be made." He sank beneath the floor as Raven lay out cold and drifting further.

--------

Robin sat in sickbay as the metal door opened and the doctor wheeled Starfire into the room. The door closed before Robin could reach it and doctor himself disappeared. Robin sent a grumpy look his way before leaning over Starfire.

"Hey, Star…" He placed his hand against her cheek. "Starfire wake up." She groaned and blindly reached up to her head. "You okay?"

"Oh my aching split head." Robin didn't bother to tell her it was 'splitting headache'. He helped her sit up and quite naturally she felt nauseous from the anesthesia. "You are…unharmed Robin?"

"I'm fine," he assured her with a smile. He pulled up a chair beside her and after sitting down ran his hand through his hair with a sigh. "Starfire, if I ever doubt Raven's 'bad feelings' please give me a hard slap across the face."

"Duly noted," responded Starfire officially. Robin moved his eyes toward her fearfully.

"It-It was just a joke Star, please don't hit me as hard you can." She glanced down at his nervous stare and burst into laughter after pretending to attack and him jumping away in fear. "Oh har har har," whined Robin with a small smile.

-----

Cyborg pulled a retractable cord from his arm and plugged it into the outlet provided. Beast Boy looked around for any sign of their holographic menace. He then joined Cyborg over by the wall.

"Cy we haven't heard anything from Star or Raven."

"I know."

"They could be in trouble."

"I know," repeated Cyborg. "I think the only way we're gonna be able to tackle this guy is inside cyberspace. You see if you can find out what's going on with the girls. I'll be fine here."

"Okay, good luck." Cyborg nodded in thanks. He sat down against the wall and entered the vast expanse of the tower's mainframe. He found himself walking through a vivid image of what was normally Titans Tower. "Okay, thirty trillion bits of information a second…and I'm looking for one guy." Cyborg tapped the small screen on his arm for a layout of the mainframe.

"You will not succeed." Cyborg heard the doctor's voice behind him but didn't turn to face him. He continued following the path his internal map was guiding him with. The doctor would not be deterred. He ran to catch up with him. "I can do much more in this realm of existence than I can in reality."

"Thanks for the warning," replied Cyborg coldly.

"Indeed it is." At the doctor's command a large wall suddenly rose from the ground blocking Cyborg's path. Cyborg finally did face him with his sonic cannon at the ready. "I will do what I must to ensure the Titans survival."

"Your programming doesn't allow for this, you can't interfere with anything outside anything of a medical nature."

"The surge expanded my programming, opened my eyes to the bigger picture. You Titans cannot be trusted with your own well being. You should not fret. I will save you all from yourselves."

"Thanks but no thanks! ARRRGHHH!" Cyborg ran forward firing his cannon as he went. The doctor allowed the blast to pass right through him then caught Cyborg's punch out of the air. Cyborg struggled against the enhanced strength of his creation. The doctor then took hold with his other free hand and threw Cyborg against the nearest hard surface. The doctor grabbed him again and once more thrashed him hard against a set of capacitors. A short current coursed through Cyborg making him whimper slightly. Cyborg saw the doctor coming in to kick him but managed to defend himself with the hidden cannon within his foot. The doctor flew away from him with a hole in his shoulder. Cyborg stood back up only to see, with dismay that the doctors wound quickly healed. "I mean it man you gotta stop this now!"

"I will not! I am going to keep you all safe and you are going to like it!" He ran toward Cyborg as fast as he possibly could. Cyborg hid his right hand behind his back, which he transformed into a probing instrument. He waiting until the last second, allowing the doctor to come in close. Cyborg swiftly moved aside and jabbed the doctor with the probe on his right arm. The doctor froze on the spot as Cyborg tapped into the matrix that controlled the doctor directly. With Cyborg now in command the doctor was forced to shut down and control of the tower was returned to normal.

Back in reality Cyborg opened his eyes and pulled the cord out of the wall. Standing up he looked at the darkened screen distrustfully. "Computer, run a level one diagnostic of all tower systems." The scan took several minuets but when it finished it told Cyborg everything was functioning normal, including the doctor. He let out a short sigh of relief just in time to get a call from Beast Boy. "Go ahead."

"Cy I found Raven, she needs help and fast." Cyborg took in the news and nodded.

"Take her to sickbay I'll meet your there."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raven slowly awoke on a bed in sickbay. She saw all around her were Beast Boy, Starfire, Robin, Cyborg, and the doctor. She tensed somewhat but Beast Boy calmed her by taking her shoulder.

"Its okay Raven we fixed him. You had a concussion and almost slipped into a coma. We brought you here and the doc went to work on you." Raven blinked a few times.

"Y-You're serious?"

"He saved your life," said Robin. Raven looked at each of her friends then at the doctor. He smiled down at her. She sat up and cleared hear throat.

"Uhh…thank you." He gave her a bow of the head.

"You're very welcome, I am here to serve." His job done, the doctor set his tools on the table beside her bed and dematerialized. Raven moved to sit over the edge of her bed. She rubbed the spot on her head where she hit as it still throbbed somewhat.

"So, we're actually going to keep him."

"You will admit Raven he was most instrumental in your recovery," pointed out Starfire. "But he is after all labeled as 'emergency' medical hologram." Raven tilted her head at Starfire's words.

"The point she's trying to make Raven is there's only one real doctor here," said Robin. Raven received assuring nods and smiles from her friends then finally accepted her new helper with a tiny grin.
