MoonDeity: Coolness. Last chappie, oh yes.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, USAMRIID, the C.D.C, or (although I would dearly like to) the car companies Porsche and Mercedes.

Claimer: I own the characters Porsche and Mercedes.

Mercedes: Yeah, and you have to ask if you can borrow us.

Porsche: Why don't they just steal us? Like I stole from USAMRIID?

Mercedes: I still don't get why you went through all that trouble. You could've gone to the rainforest and hunted the virus that way.

Porsche: Aw, but where's the fun in that? Well, besides the obvious, but I needed the Mayinga strain.

Mercedes: I am SO not related to you.

Virus Trouble

Chapter 5:

The Aftermath

As the warm rain fell upon Jump City, USAMRIID biohazard specialists carted away Robin, Starfire, and Raven to be isolated in the USAMRIID hospital. Robin was nearly dead and Starfire and Raven were suffering from bloody noses and red eyes.

The Tameranean insisted on being next to Robin and cuddling him, even though he was unconscious and partially bleeding out. Cyborg was brought up onto the roof, and was being recharged with a portable battery.

As the spacesuit men loaded Raven up, the Changeling dashed over and grabbed her hand.

"Rae, wait...promise me something."

The Goth looked down at him through bleary red eyes.

"Yes...?"

Beastboy gulped and squeezed her hand.

"Promise me you'll make it out of there alive, okay? Because...you're too precious to me for a virus to take you away."

Raven smiled and promised. A spacesuit man nudged Beastboy away, and he reluctantly let go of her.

Over where Cyborg lay, life was being pumped into his circuits and his vision returned slowly. Dizzily, he sat up and realized he was on the roof.

Over to his left, Mercedes was fighting with the cuffed Porsche who had waken up to from the sedatives. The evil twin was enraged to no end at the fact her plan was ruined so quickly, and she was kicking at everything in boot-reach.

"AUGH! WAIT 'TIL I GET FREE! THEN THERE WILL NOT ONLY BE EBOLA, BUT MARBURG DROPPED ON YOUR PATHETIC CITY! EBOLA AND MARBURG! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT!?!"

Mercedes sighed and then perked up as Cyborg approached. She smiled sweetly and held out her hand to the android.

"Hi, I'm Mercedes, and this is my twin Porsche. I'm sorry for the trouble she's caused."

Cyborg looked at Mercedes and shook her hand, his eyes roving up and down her body.

"Well, well, pleased to meet you. And...did you say your twin was Porsche? Very good, car twins...may I ask you ladies where you live?"

Mercedes smiled as the android checked out her thrashing sister.

"Well, we are American, but we live in Stuttgart, Germany Why?"

Cyborg sidled up to Porsche and grinned, ignoring that the girls lived in the same city where their automotive counter-part's factories were located.

"Oh...no reason...hey, lookin' good, for an evil twin."

The android slid his metal finger down Porsche's arm and her eyes opened wide. She whispered something that sounded like "metal moron" under her breath, and squirmed even harder. Mercedes looked thoughtful at her sister's repulsion directed toward Cyborg, and a mischievous grin spread across her face.

"Porsche, I think I may have just found your jail time."

Porsche's eyes grew wide.

"What do you mean?" ,she whispered.

Her twin smiled.

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough..."

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

Beastboy shifted nervously from one foot to the next. He was outside the USAMRIID military building on a misty morning, just when the dew was clinging to the grass and fog still hung over the ground. In one hand, he held a bouquet of black roses for Raven. Today, she would be released from the USAMRIID bio containment area along with Robin and Starfire.

He was nervous, not only because he was afraid he would look like a dork in front of Raven, but for the fact that one of his friends might not have survived the Ebola. Robin looked close to crashing when he was carted away a month ago, and who knew what effects Ebola had on Tameraneans? The Changeling twiddled his thumbs in anticipation for the worst.

All was generally normal in Jump City. The Ebola Zaire had reduced 4/5ths of the population, and the airlines had been shut off to the rest of the world until the virus died out. Biohazard specialists still roamed the streets looking for the virus, but the Zaire had burned through and was gone. Slade and his hence-men had gotten a fair share of plunder, and had gone back into hiding once Porsche had been captured.

"Still out there somewhere," thought the Changeling.

The front doors of USAMRIID creaked open and Beastboy cautiously crept forward. Within the shadows of the building, he could make out one shadowed figure. His heart leapt in his chest. Only one Titan had made it out? Only one?

But then another figure materialized, and another! And Raven, Robin, and Starfire all stepped out into the morning light, blinking confusedly in their hospital gowns. Beastboy leaped up, rushed over to Raven, and hugged her tightly.

"Oh man, Raven! I can't believe it! You survived! This is so awesome! You all made it through! Dude, this is like, the happiest day of my life! Oh, yeah, uh, these are for you..."

Blushing wildly, he handed the black roses and stepped away. Raven grinned, and hugged the Green One softly. This caused the Changeling to turn an even more extreme shade of red. The biohazard specialist behind Raven handed Beastboy her clothes and told Beastboy to help her home; for her body was weakened from the Ebola.

Over where Robin and Starfire stood, the Tameranean blushed at the sight of the Boy Wonder. They had been isolated from each other during their stay, and Starfire was embarrassed to be seen looking so thin and wasted. Robin smiled at her and took her hand gently.

"Hey, you can look at me, you know."

Starfire turned a bright fuchsia and stuttered.

"Oh, I, um...well, hello...uh, how was...your stay at this lovely hospital?"

Starfire turned away while Robin still hung onto her hand.

"Well, I was kind of sad that I didn't get to see you."

Starfire turned to the Boy Wonder in surprise.

"Really? But...why?"

"Remember when I was down with Ebola in the tower and you would talk to me? Even when I was carted away to stay here, you would keep talking to me and telling me someone was there beside me?"

Starfire nodded and Robin took her other hand.

"Well, that was the only reason I ever hung onto life. Because you talked to me. I love you, Star."

The Tameranean's eyes filled with tears and she hugged Robin tightly. The Boy Wonder put his arms in turn around her, and they rocked together.

"Hey, you guys, come on! We're gonna get sick if we stand out here in this fog any longer!"

The two Titans spun around to face Beastboy. In his arms, he held Raven whom he insisted on carrying to the car. Robin and Starfire supported each other and climbed into the yellow taxi.

"Hey, what happened to the T-Car?"

Beastboy set Raven on his lap (she squirmed in protest) and buckled the two of them in.

"I think Cyborg took it to an auto show. Something about 'blackmail' and 'car twins'."

The Titans shrugged together, and the taxi drove off into the mist.

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

At the Jump City Auto Show, Porsche was so angry, her fingernails bent metal. She was scantily clad in a stripper's outfit that bore the Porsche Crest. Two crests made up her bra, and she was blackmailed into wearing a thong. She wore earrings and a necklace made of the crests.

Mercedes was also scantily clad in a bra and thong bearing the Mercedes Crest. Unlike her evil twin, she was enjoying sitting on the left arm of Cyborg modeling the T-Car.

Cyborg was also enjoying having two car twins at his command. This was Porsche's punishment for releasing Ebola on Jump City—to be at the whim of Cyborg for three months. Mercedes was just along for the ride.

The android smiled at the pissed-off evil twin he toted on his right arm; an exhibit of his strength. Porsche forced her mouth to smile, while her left eye began twitching sporadically. Cyborg waved a finger at her warningly, a signal to behave herself.

Mercedes leaned over and poked her sister. Vein throbbing, Porsche turned slowly and leaned over to her twin.

"Cyborg says to smile and look pretty. And stop twisting the aluminum with your fingernails, you'll ruin your manicure."

Through clenched teeth, Porsche replied.

"Screw the manicure. I want my boots back. As soon as these three months are up, I swear on the Porsche 911 that you will be infected with Zaire so fast, there will be no measure to your pai—OW!"

Cyborg delivered a hearty whack to Porsche and shook his head. The twin straightened up, muttering threats of Ebola and revenge under her breath.

"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship, don't you Porsche?"

The android grinned at her and hugged her to him, posing for pictures.

"Yessir, a beautiful relationship..."

The End

MoonDeity: Pairings were not intended for Cyborg. But sometimes the fic just turns evil and manipulates itself...sigh...Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the fluff in this and learned a thing or two about Ebola. If you really want to learn more, then please, go to your library and check out "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston. You will enjoy it once you get past the first chapter.
