Last time...


All eyes were on her now. No one else spoke, waiting to see if she would go on.

"So...I was thinking that if we want to be sure to find Slade's weakness...we need a well thought out plan." she continued. Beastboy's hand went up in question. "Yes, Beastboy?"

"I thought our plan was to have your brother read his mind for weakness." he said, arching up his eyebrow in confusion.

Raven nodded slowly, thinking it over before opening her mouth to speak. "Yes but, if we want him to be close enough to do so, we need a plan as to not rise any suspicion..."


Robin nodded, understanding. "Trust..." muttered Robin.

"What was that, Robin?" asked Raven, looking at him.

Clearing his throat, he spoke up. "Trust...if we somehow get him to trust your brother, then he'd be on the inside, and be able to take him down without causing suspicion."


As everyone started to leave to their own separate ways, Robin dismissed them, saying "We'll get back to this later today when we have the meeting."


Teen Titans: Secret

Chapter 52


It was later that day, everyone was gathered around the common room. Some of them were seated on the couch, while the rest were seated criss-cross applesauce on the floor. Robin stood in the middle, acting like a leader should.

"So, what you're saying is that Cyborg will make me this ring that will make me look different?" Jason asked, after Robin had finished explaining what the team had decided on when he was busy reading his novel.

Robin nodded, slowly. "Pretty much, unless you have any better ideas?"

Jason shook his head, smiling. "Well...I do have one but I like Cyborg's much better."

"What was your plan, though?" Iguana asked, curiously.

Jason stood up from the couch. He moved his hands around as he spoke, "I was thinking...we barge into Slade's lair...like a surprise attack...and then when he's busy fighting you guys off...Pow! I take him!"

"I like his idea better!" exclaimed Beastboy, grinning wide.

Sending a small smile Beastboy's way, Jason whispered "Thanks...but, Cyborg's sounds much safer and reliable."

Robin nodded, slowly. "Jason, I like your idea. We'll keep your idea in mind, in case Cyborg's doesn't work out." Cyborg nodded in agreement to what Robin said.

"Not that Cyborg's plan will fail, will it Cyborg?" assured Jason.

Cyborg nodded, slowly. "If my calculations are correct, the plan should go by without a hitch!" Cyborg exclaimed, smiling brightly.

Jason nodded. "That's good to know." He said, "You five have been quiet for a while...what do you guys think?" Jason questioned, looking at Starfire, Rockie, Iguana, Beastboy, and Raven.

"It's a solid plan." Rockie replied, smiling. Beastboy chuckled. Everyone stared at him for his outburst.

"What?" Beastboy asked, "It's funny...Solid...Rockie...Solid...get it?" He laughed nervously; no one else laughed at the lame attempt of a joke.

Raven narrowed her eyes at Beastboy, mentally telling him to quick embarrassing himself in front of her brother. Instantly, he bit down on his tongue, muting himself.

"What will we do while Jason is busy trying to read Slade's weaknesses?" asked Iguana.

"I figured that question would be asked." Robin spoke, "And, I was thinking that we should stay close by, but not too close. We don't want to give away Jason's cover." Everyone in the room nodded slowly.

"Friend Robin, what should we do in the meantime?" asked Starfire.

"I guess, we could always work on plan B, just in case plan A, somehow fails..." suggested Robin.

"You don't think the plan will fail... do you, Robin?" asked Beastboy, slightly worried.

Robin shook his head as he explained himself. "Well, knowing Slade...he's always one step ahead of us...we shouldn't underestimate him..."

Beastboy nodded, slowly. "Yeah, but...maybe this time, Slade is slacking off?"

Robin glared at Beastboy before whispering harshly, "That's what Slade wants us to think."

Beastboy backed off, slightly frightened by Robin's tone. He felt like a mouse, as he squeaked out, "Okay!"

Robin took in a deep breath, and then let it out. Seeing the quivering Beastboy on the couch, Robin sighed. "Beastboy...I'm sorry."

Beastboy looked up, and sent Robin a smile. "It's okay... I was way out of line."

Robin nodded, agreeing. "You're right, you were."

"Anyways, how are we going to do this?" Jason asked, breaking the awkward tension between Robin and Beastboy. Now all attention was brought back to the matter at hand.

"I have the rings still but, it may need a few adjustments..." Cyborg answered.

"Why?" asked Jason, "Is it broken?"

Cyborg shook his head. "No, but Slade may recognize the image that it gives. I just need to change the disguise." explained Cyborg.

Jason nodded in understanding. "And, how long will that take?"

"Not too long." answered Cyborg. "We can probably have you out there in the nick of time."

Jason nodded. "Right..."


Cyborg stood up from the chair he was seated on. "Come on, Jason." said Cyborg, commanding Jason to rise from his seat.

Jason stood up. Following Cyborg, Jason asked "What are we going to do?"

Cyborg stopped walking, and so did Jason. Cyborg turned around to look at Jason. "You're familiar with holograms, right?"

Jason nodded, slowly. He had no idea as to where Cyborg was going with this. "What about them?" he asked.

"Do you remember your own mother?" Cyborg questioned him.

Jason was getting annoyed. Why was Cyborg asking him these questions, these personal questions? "Yes, why?" Jason retorted.

Cyborg smiled, and whispered "She seemed nice."

Jason's demeanor changing, he asked "You knew her?"

Cyborg shook his head, and whispered "Well, not exactly...but some days ago, she came to me and Beastboy when we were...uh...trapped. And...she was a hologram."

The corners of Jason's eyes were rimmed with tears, he sniffled, trying to stop the tears that wanted to now fall.

Cyborg placed a metal hand on Jason's shoulder, and spoke softly, "Jason...why are you crying?" He asked, even though he pretty much knew why.

"My mother...she must hate me." whispered Jason, sadly.

Cyborg chuckled. "No, it's quite the opposite, actually."

Jason looked up at Cyborg, with what looked to be renewed hope in his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"All she ever wanted was for you to find your way back...and look at you now." whispered Cyborg, "You've found your way. I would say, she would be proud of you."

"I miss her." Jason whispered, after just a minute of silence.

Cyborg nodded in understanding. "I know how you feel...my own mother died when I was younger."

Jason looked up, and whispered "I'm sorry."

Cyborg smiled. "No need to cry over spilled milk. Come on, let's go work on that disguise ring."

Jason nodded, and followed Cyborg towards Cyborg's room.

"Why are we in your room?" Jason asked, looking around the place. There was a huge computer above the metal-like bed, and blue lights on a control box that was on the left side of the room.

"Not just any room, but it's also my place to build my inventions and stuff." Cyborg explained, pressing the numbers on the keypad that opened the door that possibly hid a closest or something of that sort.

The door swished open, revealing another room. It wasn't as big as the main one, but it was still a sight.

"How do you have another room in your room?" questioned Jason in awe.

Cyborg chuckled. "Used to be a walk in closest before I got to work on it." he said as they stepped inside.

They now stood in front of a desk. Carefully, Cyborg placed the ring down on the desk.

"Any specific image that you want to look like?" asked Cyborg, turning on a blue flame and preparing it to switch the image inside of the ring.

"Depends...what images do you have to offer me?" Jason asked, arching an eyebrow up.

Cyborg smiled slightly. "Well, I have this one that makes you look all macho or this other one that gives you that 'I don't care' look."

"Which one do you think will give us a better chance at getting inside Slade's lair without any trouble?" asked Jason.

"Well, I was thinking the one that gives off the signal that you don't care would be best...because it just seems like something Slade would love in an evil person...not that you're evil but you know what I mean." explained Cyborg.

Jason nodded. "I know what you're trying to say." he assured. "And, I agree."

"So it's the I don't care image that you want?" asked Cyborg, just to make sure that was what Jason wanted.

Jason nodded. "Yup." He leaned back on the wall, and whispered "Just tell me when you're finished..."

Glancing his way, Cyborg nodded. "Will do." He said, and then returned his attention back to the ring. He let the blue fire come in contact with the choice that they both wanted for the disguise. Sparks flew as the flame touched the ring, but they soon died down when the process was complete. Cyborg removed the goggles that he had put on somewhere between talking to Jason and then placing the flame on the ring. Cyborg smiled as he examined the ring.

He turned around to face Jason; he had his eyes shut, and he was still leaning against the wall.

"Jason?" whispered Cyborg.

"Huh?" sighed Jason, opening his eyes.

"...were you sleeping?" asked Cyborg.

"No, I was just resting my eyes." assured Jason. Cyborg nodded. "So, you're done?"

"Yeah, it's all done!" exclaimed Cyborg, "We just need to test it out."

"Okay." replied Jason, "How do we test it out?"

"Easy." answered Cyborg, "Give me your hand."

"What! Why?" questioned Jason, refusing to hold hands with Cyborg.

Cyborg rolled his eyes, or at least his one human eye. "To place the ring on your finger..."

"I'll do it." answered Jason.

"Okay." Cyborg whispered, and handed the ring to Jason.

Jason slipped the ring onto his finger; His hair turned blond, and his eyes turned a blue color. From what Cyborg could see, it worked amazing. Cyborg held a small mirror in front of Jason.

"Whoa. It worked!" exclaimed Jason, running a hand through his blonde locks.

"Yeah, now I need you to take it off." responded Cyborg.

"Why?" exclaimed Jason.

"We don't want Slade sneaking up on the screen or anything, and figuring out you are on our side. We need to keep your 'new' image a secret for the time being." answered Cyborg, "So, the ring, please."

Jason grumbled in protest but removed the ring from his finger, either way. He placed the ring into Cyborg's awaiting hand.


"Cyborg! Jason!" Starfire's voice came from downstairs. "Robin wishes to speak with you!"

Jason and Cyborg exchanged a glance.

"Come on, let's go see what Robin needs." said Cyborg. Jason nodded.

The exited Cyborg's once walk-in closest and stepped out of the room. Both of them walked down the stairs at the same time. Robin stood waiting at the bottom of the stairs, arms crossed.


Author's note:

Well, what did you think of this? Nice chapter? Good? Bad? Okay? Please review. No flames. I have started ninth grade, and I might be busy with loads of homework, so if I don't update, you can expect that to be one of my reasons.
