Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans
Cyborgs lead the team as they approached the doctor's home. It was an upscale house with a bright paint job. Three floors of house, complete with a white picket fence before the small ten feet grass. It was a quiet morning and birds sang sweetly in the trees. Cyborg turned to Star, Beast Boy, and Bumble Bee and gave the signal to go. The four Titans rushed at the fence, jumped over and broke down the door.
The first floor was like your typical home. Complete with photos of Doc and another man, obviously his brother. There was even an old black and white photo of a beautiful dark hair woman who was holding an infant and had a two year old sitting on her lap. Seeing no wife or guards on the first floor the Titians headed upstairs. Three empty bedrooms and a bathroom consisted of the second floor. Cyborg could sense his teammates tense up. The bad guys had to be on the next floor. However, it was quiet. Too quiet. Cyborg flicked on his scanners and searched for people on the floor above him. Astonished he turned to the others.
"There is no one here. My scanners don't pick up any living being on the floor above us." Cyborg declared. His teammates looked back dumbfounded.
"Do you think they knew we were coming and so they moved the wife?" Bumble Bee asked.
"Maybe we should check upstairs any ways. Maybe there are clues," Beast Boy offered. Cyborg nodded and took the lead.
The third floor was anything but a typical home. It was one massive open space with some exercise equipment in one corner, racks and racks of weapons in another, a desk with a computer in the farthest corner, and in the closet corner was a board with all of the Titan's photos. Beast Boy walked over to examine this while Cyborg approached the desk. Star and Bumble Bee investigated the weapons. On the desk, Cyborg noticed folders with each other their names. He picked up the file with his name and was about to open it when he head the infamous "You've got mail" coming from the computer. Clicking on the envelope button Cyborg gasped in shock as he began reading the email, which read:
Dear Titians,
By now you have found the house and are probably pretty confused. The truth of the matter is that I have no wife, or at least she died several years ago. I'm protecting my family while trying to help you at the same time. I made a promise to my mother on her death bed that I would protect my little brother no matter what. He may be a bad guy, but to me he's still my little brother. You know him as Slade. Raven, I promise I will keep him away from you and your child. I cannot change his evil ways, but I can try and prevent him from tormenting your personal lives. The loss of this base and the files on each of you in addition to his weapons should hamper any of his plans. Please take care because you will not be receiving any more help from me.
Doc
Cyborg turned on his communicator and called Robin. His face came into view looking worried and scared. Cyborg could hear Raven screaming in the background. Cyborg's heart raced in fear as he heard the wailing sound of an ambulance.
"What is it Cyborg. Raven is in labor and the baby is not doing too well," Robin hissed.
"Doc is Slade's brother. Where is Slade?" Robin's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Batman took him to Gotham Jail. I can patch you through to him. The ambulance is taking us to Gotham City Hospital," Robin said quickly. A moment later his face cut off only to be replaced by Batman.
"Batman Doc is Slade's brother. Is Slade secure?" Cyborg said excitedly. Batman's eyes narrowed behind his mask.
"I dropped him off about fifteen minutes ago. I was on my way to the hospital. I'll go investigate it. Get yourselves over to that hospital!" Batman yelled before hanging up.
Cyborg turned to his friends. They had heard everything and all were anxious to leave and go to Raven. However, someone had to stay and guard the house.
"I'll stay here and call for police backup," Bumble Bee declared. "You guys just go and be with Raven and Robin." Cyborg smiled his thanks.
"Alright, Titans lets go!" he yelled. Star and Beast Boy practically ran down the stairs. Before he left, Cyborg kissed Bumble Bee thoroughly. They had been secretly dating for about three months. "Be careful," he called as he followed the others outside.
Well . . . did you all see that coming? I was not sure if I was going to make Doc Slade's brother at first. But I laid down the ground work anyways. If you think back he refused to give his name, even when Robin came. He allowed everyone to continue calling him Doc even though its obviously not his name.
