"Finally, the lab. I hope I can find a cure here." Cyborg made it to the
lab knowing that it all comes down to this.
With his hopes high and his heart on his shoulders he made his first step in the lab. He saw familiar face in the lab. He was greeted by compliments on how far he has come. He continued his walk down memory lane and found himself on the docks outside where he used to fish when he was a kid.
"I remember when you use to fish here when you were a little kid while you would wait for your father." Said a familiar voice.
Cyborg turned around, it was his father's best friend but also the guy that fixed him.
"Hey doc, long time no see."
"Yeah, how have you been son?"
"No bad, but I could be better?"
"What's on your mind?
"It's not so much my mind, it's my life."
"Let's go check you out then."
In the lab than ran a diagnostic on him, which the computers at the lab were more precise than Cyborg's.
"Whoa! When did this happen?"
"Just a few days ago doc. Tell me that you can cure me."
::sighs:: "There is a way to cure you, but there are more chances that you'll die from it than it actually curing you."
"Is there another way then?"
"I'm sorry Cyborg, from the way you looked you don't have much time left and there isn't enough time to find another one."
::grunts:: "That's just great. So I either die from the virus or die from the cure. Gee doc, that really helps."
"Well, you have to make your decision now the virus is going to get worse the longer you wait."
::scoffs:: "What choice do I have? I have to go through with the procedure. By the way, what is it?"
"I'll have to shut down your mainframe while you're asleep and immediately give you a shock of 100,000 volts. It'll get the virus away from your human parts while you're asleep and away from your cybernetic parts while the mainframe is down. The downside to that is while doing this your human side could be electrocuted to death, while your mainframe is down and the shock is introduced to your cybernetic parts could be fried and in case you didn't notice we don't have replacement parts for you."
::jaw drops: "Damn, from the way you say it I'd rather have the virus."
"Oh no you wouldn't. The virus would eat at your human parts from the inside out while your cybernetic parts melt away...slowly, but you would be dead by then so it's up to you to choose."
Cyborg's reaction: O.O
Back in Jump City, Raven was flying to every technological and especially Wayne Enterprise companies, but everywhere she went was a dead end. Tired and losing hope that she'd find him she returned to the Tower.
"Hey Raven, where were you?" BB wondered.
"Out." She replied back with her usual cold stare.
She walked back to Cyborg's room.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." She opened his room again and entered hoping to find some clues this time.
She had no time to look though.
::Alarm goes off::
"Titans, trouble!" Robin yelled, calling everyone to the living room.
It was Slade, he was attempting to steal some of the latest technology from Wayne Technologies.
"Titans, GO!" The boy wonder yelled.
Robin, Beast Boy, & Starfire left the Tower in a hurry to battle, but Raven was still there. She was deciding whether to go help her teammates or go back out looking for Cyborg.
She chose to help her teammates hoping that it would get her mind off of Cyborg.
::At Wayne Tech.::
"Robin you're late, I was expecting you here 5 minutes ago." Slade said with his back towards the Titans.
"It's over Slade, this all ends. Tonight." Robin said with his partners in crime fighting next to him, but with Slade's minions surrounding them.
Slade turned around and faced his long time foes.
"Only 4 of you? Where's Cyborg?" Slade asked Robin with a sinister smile.
"That's none of your business Slade."
"Actually Robin, it is my business. Because I know where he is."
All the Titans were now focused on Slade.
"Where is he Slade?! What have you done with him?!"
"I haven't done anything to him Robin; yet." Slade said followed by an evil laughter.
::Back at the lab::
"Are you ready Cyborg?"
"I'm ready doc, let's do this."
Cyborg wasn't worried about what was going to happen to him, the only thing on his mind was Raven.
End of Chapter 5. What does Slade want with Cyborg? Can any of the Titans get to him in time since they have to fight Slade? The real question is will Cyborg even be cured? There's more to it than Slade's letting us know. Find out everything in the next chapter of Short Circuit.
