Blackshield: Yes, the plot is about to get very thick. Prepare for a lot of angst, maybe not in this chapter, but in ones to come. Also, you are a Godsend for helping me BIG time with this chapter. If you need anything, just ask.

Slayergirl1362: Trust me, you'll see what's going to happen in this chapter.

Rochelle: Yes, Cyborg and Raven are my fav couple, but this story is saying that I understand Robin and Raven fans. Also, a good writer has to put his/her personal preferences aside when writing, other wise this story wouldn't even be made. You'll just have to see who stays with who, who separates, etc.

DIWaRrIa: Starfire left because the one she loved more than anything was with another. You'll just have to see if, and that is if she returns. Oh, and I can't tell you what Cy is going to do, that would ruin it all wouldn't it lol. You'll just have to wait and see. This chapter will tell you a bit of what's going to happen though.

Vandagirl519: LOL, thank you. I wanted to go by what R/R fans see. True it's not my fav couple. Cy/Rae 4Ever!!! But in this story, all things are possible. In this chapter I promise you'll see how Raven reacts. It's okay, I'll be waiting for you to update. It's a good story and is worth the wait. If you need help, all you have to do is ask. I'll be glad to help you out. Oh, and about B-Day Bash, I'll see if I can't work on that soon since it's almost done. And about Titan High, take your time on that, I have a feeling you're going to like that too.

Rini Suichi: I hope you have a box of kleenex with you, because things are about to go from bad to worse.

TeenTitansGirl14: Thanks, it means a lot. I have a lot of hope for this story and I'm glad that you like it.

Azarath, Raven Of: Your update, as you wanted.

Raven-FieryBlack: Well I'm glad that you like R/R. I'm a Cy/Rae fan as you can tell, but that doesn't mean anything right now. You'll just have to wait to see how it all turns out.

Violett Witch: Yes, I agree. Poor Starfire, you'll just have to see what happens. I can't tell you much, but I'm still deciding on what Starfire will do, and when she'll be in. I can promise you that she will be in again though.

Crazedchakra101: Thank you for telling me how good my writing is. The only thing that I didn't like, was the fact that you're telling me how you feel about the issue. Also, I don't like you jumping to conclusions about the story and what I do with it, and who's labeled what. Another thing is you're telling me about how a person feels like I don't know. You don't know me, so don't judge me. By you jumping to conclusions, it ruins the story. For me, and for my readers. It makes me not want to do it, because the ideas that I have you make seem pointless. Keep your thoughts to yourself. I respect your criticism, but you need to watch what you say. If you have an idea for me, some advice, or a request, you can e-mail me or instant message me. Don't go putting your personal thoughts about the story in your review.

Thank you for all of the awesome reviews. I'm glad that you all like the story so far, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Your reviews make me want to update sooner, and I love knowing what you guys think of my stories. Now on with the story!

Song Used: Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved

"C-Cyborg's awake?" Raven asked.

"Yeah, he woke up this morning. Don't you wanna see him?!" BB asked while motioning for her to join them.

Raven was too mesmerized to move. All of the memories of Cyborg that she forced herself to forget hit her like a ton of bricks. Almost zombie-like, she began walking towards BB and Terra. Robin stood as he watched her walk away. He didn't know what to do. Half of him wanted to get married, but the other half wanted to see Cyborg.

Hope, It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
A shine of it, has caught my eye.
It roped me in so...mesmerizing so...hypnotizing


He had no choice but to go with them since Raven was too focused on seeing him again. Robin told them all that the wedding was on hold for a few days before he left. They stopped by Raven's apartment to change clothes before visiting Cyborg.

Raven changed into a blue pair of jeans with a matching shirt. Robin came out wearing a red shirt with blue jeans. They got in BB's car and headed back to Jump City.

"Cyborg." Was all that Raven could think as they sat in the back seat.

Robin looked at her with a raised eyebrow most of the way there. No one said anything, except BB and Terra by talking to each other about mundane topics.

"Raven, are you okay?" Robin asked while placing a hand on her shoulder, startling her.

"Hmm? Y-Yeah, I'm fine." She said as she fiddled with her engagement ring; the ring that Cy gave her.

Robin didn't notice, but she did. All of her thoughts were focused on her former fiance. She laid her head back and went to sleep the rest of the drive to the hospital.

I am, captivated I am, Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong, I am right, I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along, and I am thawed,
but I am cleaning up so well,
I am seeing in me now
The things you swear you saw yourselves...


Not knowing what to think, Robin leaned back and looked out the window. The sun was slowly setting next to him as he looked at the passing scenery. The mixtures of orange, yellow, red, blue and purple were combining in a mystical fashion, practically hypnotizing. The pleasant image was easy on Robin's eyes, but not on his heart. He sighed as BB drove back to Jump City. This was going to be a long ride.

Robin and Raven were asleep as they arrived at the hospital. BB gently woke them up before going in. The elevator seemed to take forever to arrive as they stood at the entryway. As it rose, so did the pace of Raven's heart. Her breath quickened as the door opened to the floor where Cyborg was.

So clear, like the diamond in your ring.
Cut to mirror your intention.
Oversized and overwhelmed,
The shine of which has caught my eye
It rendered me so, isolated so, motivated.
And I am..certain now that I am...


Several nurses waved to the group as they walked by. When they reached his room, BB and Terra walked in to greet Cy, but Robin and Raven stayed outside. They heard his voice as BB and Terra conversed with Cyborg. BB came back to get them, and slowly walked them in.

Raven's eyes went wide when she saw him sitting up, his eye blinking, his smile, and his voice. For so long she visited him, wanting to see this, but when he did come around, she wasn't there. She promised that she would wait for him, but she didn't.

"Hey Rob," Cyborg said when he saw best friend.

"'Sup man." Robin responded with a smile.

Cy gave him thumbs up, then looked at Raven.

"How ya doin Rae?"

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong, I am right, I swear I'm right

The things you swear you saw yourselves...


She froze. It was her nickname that made her freeze. He was the only one who could call her that and for three years she went without hearing that. She slowly walked towards him. When she got to him, she gave him a hug, a three year long hug. Unconsciously, she kissed him. Her mind was only fixed on him, the only thing that mattered to her was that he was back.

Robin felt a little jealous, but put it away as he walked over and gave his friend a hi-five. They started talking as Dr. Lawrence walked in.

So tired, of the corners of your lips
Bite them, and feel my fingertips
Trace the moment for forever..
Defense is paper thin, just one touch
and I'll be into, deep now to ever swim
Against the current..so let me slip away


"Ah, I see you have company."

"So doc, how is he?" BB asked.

"He's fine. All of his vital signs seem to be in perfect condition."

"Does that mean that he can go home?" Terra asked.

"Yeah, but it would be better if he stayed over night."

"If he stays, we stay too," Terra declared stubbornly.

The doctor nodded. "I understand completely," he smiled.

-

The next day, the group escorted Cyborg back to Titans Tower. Beast Boy and Terra decided to move in and give him some company - as well as a source of information concerning the events of the past years.

So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current.
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away.


Robin and Raven remained in her apartment, trying to find out a way to tell Cyborg their news. But as days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months, and they waited and waited for it to hit them over the head with a lightbulb, it never came. So they visited the Tower, but always alone. One without the other.

Beast Boy and Terra did their best to update Cyborg on the time he missed, but they, too, found themselves skirting gingerly around the topic when it came to Robin and Raven.

Though it was never mentioned between the other four, it was always on their minds, the unspoken question: How to tell him?

-

Robin stood behind the coffee table, facing the other three - Beast Boy, Terra, and Raven. They were discussing their... problem.

"So, any suggestions?" he asked nervously. He couldn't believe they'd forced him to lead this meeting thing. Sure, he had been the leader - but that was a long, long time ago. Back before the accident. Before everything got broken.

"C'mon, guys, help me out here! We gotta tell him!"

Beast Boy managed to twist his expression into a glare and a pout simultaneously. "I got nothing –what're we s'posed to say? 'Hey Cy, sorry we didn't tell ya during the past six months, but your old girlfriend's been dating your old leader and they were s'posed to be married but it was canceled when you woke up'? Somehow, dude, I don't think it's gonna work that way!"

Cyborg froze in the shadows of the hallway, a drained soda can and an empty bowl with cereal residue clinging desperately to the sides in hand.

[i]What?[i/]

He frowned, left eye glowing demonically.

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong, I am right, I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along, and I am thawed,
but I am cleaning up so well,
I am seeing in me now
The things you swear you saw yourselves...


He stepped, silently fuming, into the main room, crushing the can in his titanium fist to get their attention.

Four heads turned slowly - slowly - to look at him.

"Cy," Robin choked out. "How... n-nice of you to j-join us..."

My hope dangles on a string.
Like slow spinning redemption

End Chapter Five.
