Review please!

"Ow! Watch it!" Cyborg threw Lotus a wary look and continued to wipe the blood from her nose with a damp cloth.

"It looks like you nose is broken. I can try to reset it, but that's all I can do."

"Wonderful." Lotus said bitterly, feeling her tender nose. "You know, you should keep that boy on a leash before he kills someone."

"And you're one to speak, are you?" Cyborg threw back. "You should've known you were going to upset Robin when you said those things." Lotus made a mockingly sweet, apologetic smile.

"Sorry, I was too busy thinking about Robin's 'no drawing blood' rule."

"Well, even Robin is liable to make a few mistakes every now and then." She drew back from him and fixed him with a disgusted look.

"And what, I can't? Are we all supposed to be perfect, or is Robin just the only one who can make mistakes?"

"Look," Cyborg snapped. "History isn't something we like to rehash around here. You of all people should know that."

"How does that old saying go? 'An eye for an eye', isn't it? He talks about mine, I talk about his. Karma. Deal with it." Cyborg tossed the rag aside and stood up, sighing and crossing his arms.

"Look, this isn't my fight. It's between you and Robin- I'm just a mediator, so don't get pissed with me." She looked away and rubbed her neck.

"Yeah, I know. Sorry." He nodded. "Was Robin serious? About finding Akimil?"

"Oh..." Cyborg chewed his lip, looking uncomfortable. "Robin hasn't told us yet if he has or hasn't, but he's been locked up in his room since your fight, looking through the files you stole. He also has access to all the government databases you did. There's a strong chance he might find something that points him to a new lead. "

"So there is a possibility that he could go through with his threat?"

"…Yes."

She slammed her fists on the table, inadvertently activating her powers and causing the surface of the metal to ripple violently.

"That son of a bitch!" she yelled. "How dare he go and do that to me and my dad! We've done nothing but help that ungrateful fuck and this is how he repays us?!"

"Hey, calm down!" Cyborg shouted, grabbing Lotus' arms. She glared at him, hatred seeping off her very flesh. "Calm. Down." A few moments passed, the anger in the air nigh tangible. She drew a shaky breath and let it out slowly. "Are you good, or do I have to tie you to that chair?"

"...I'm fine." He released her slowly.

"Good. I'm sorry Robin's done this to you. But, I can't do anything-"

Unexpectedly, Lotus jumped from her seat and grabbed the back of Cyborg's neck, pulling him down and kissing him soundly. His eyes popped open in surprise and shock. He didn't know what to do- push her away, or pull her closer. She moved him back until he hit the wall with a thud. Cyborg felt his heart skip a few beats as his eyes slid close and he put an arm around her waist. His circuits and metal plating seemed to tingle as he felt himself drawn closer to the wall. She finally pulled back, staring up at him as she whispered,

"Sorry Cyborg. Nothing personal." She slid from his grasp and stepped away from him.

"Wh-What was that for?" he stammered. Lotus made a 'come-hither' motion, a sad smile on her lips. Cyborg attempted to step towards her, but something kept him from moving. Again he tried, but to no avail. His legs and arms were unable to move despite all his effort and strength.

"I really am sorry." she repeated.

"What did you do?"

"I had to Cy. It's for the best."

"What did you do?!" he shouted, trying desperately to free himself.

"I bound the metal of your body to the metal of the room." She gestured about them as she spoke. "Essentially, you're a part of that wall. You won't be able to move until I free you." He thrashed his head about, grunting and crying out in anger.

"Why?!"

"I need to find Akimil before the Titans do. I won't let you keep me from my revenge. And you know what they say about revenge-" She drew her face closer to his and pecked his lips again. He pulled away, disgust and hurt scrawled across his face. "It's one hell of a motivator."

She approached the door and placed a palm on its surface, closing her eyes and concentrating.

"Lotus," She paused, glancing back. Cyborg looked at her pleadingly, begging her. "Lotus, please don't leave me trapped here."

"Don't worry. I'll come back for you. Oh, and I wouldn't suggest having Starfire free you. You're deeply bound to the metal; if she tries to, she may end up ripping you in half." He choked, a gasp catching in his throat.

She turned her attention back to the door and furrowed her brow, her energy seeping to the door's hinges. Just as she had done in Red Fist's base, she shaved the layers of metal away, bit by bit, until the hinges crumbled. With a solid kick, the door collapsed outwards into the hall. She peeked around the corners. No sign of anyone. She smiled. Fortune was on her side.

Another chapter down. I don't like it too much, but I hope you do. Lotus shows only a portion of what she will do to attain her revenge. As much as she doesn't want to, she will take down anyone in her way. More violence and betrayal next chapter. Review, please?
