Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans. This is really starting to get boring, say it over and over.
(Cyborg and Caitlin)
Cyborg leaned back in his chair, his stomach completely full. Caitlin finished off her last fry, watching him. She wanted to ask something, but was afraid that it would ruin the good moment. But, she did anyway.
"Cyborg?" He laid his chair down, glancing at her. "Yeah?" She wringed her hands nervously, biting her lower lip. He knew something was wrong. "How did you become a cyborg?" Oh yeah, something was wrong. He stared at her, trying to figure of he should tell her. He had only known her for two days, but he felt like he had known he forever. The only person he had told was Robin and no one else. Should he trust her enough to tell her?
Caitlin watched him, wishing she had never asked. Clearing her throat, she said quietly, "You don't have to tell me. I'm sorry I asked." When he said nothing, her eyebrows drew together. "I'm really, really sorry, Cyborg. I didn't mean..."
He stared off into space, saying quietly, "I played football in high school. I was one of the best. The best, actually. I won the championship, and the team wanted to celebrate. The punter, Dan Timberland, held a huge party at his house. I had never before drank, but they talked me into it. So, when I left, I was so drunk I could hardly walk straight, much less drive.
"But everyone was drunk, not just me. No one even tried to stop me from getting in a car." His eyebrows scrunched together, as if he were trying to recall what happened. "I remember listing to Metallica, go figure. "He laughed, but it was dull and full of pain.
"And then, I remember a bright light and the sound of an 18 wheeler. It was honking, but I was to drunk to care. The doctors said I hit it head-on. And the next thing I knew, I was what I am today. I would have died, should have died, but they were working on an experiment, and I was the perfect person to test it on. I'm the only Cyborg so far, but I won't be the last."
Caitlin swallowed the tears that threatened to overflow. "How old were you?" He glanced at her, studied her, before answering. "16. That was two years ago." He sighed. Then all of the sudden, he was grinning. "Wanna go watch a movie?"
Blinking, she watched his human eye for any emotions. The only one she could find was excitement. Smiling, she said, "Sure, I would love to." He jumped up, practically picked her up off the seat, and grabbed her hand lightly.
"Lets go. What do you wanna see? Turbo Speed Racer 9 or Return Of The Brain Eating Aliens?" She laughed at the names of the movies. "How about we see what else is there?" He grinned, pulling her hand and taking off. "That's fine with me."

(Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, and Robin)
Raven wanted to do something outrageous. And Starfire was going to do it with her. But what? What could she do that would make them all faint? Starfire watched her, eyebrows raised in amusement. "What are you thinking of, Raven?"
Raven jumped, blinking as if she had no idea where she was. "Hmm? What? What did you say?" Starfire rolled her eyes. "I was asking what are you thinking." Raven was about to answer when she glanced over, stopping in her tracks.
Starfire almost ran onto her. The guys stopped talking long enough to look at the girls. Robin cocked his head to the side. "What's wrong?" Raven glanced at them, grinning. "Why don't ya'll head back? Star and I are going to go shopping." Robin shrugged, saying a quick, "Okay," and going back to his conversation with Beast Boy.
When they were out of sight, Raven pulled Starfire's arm, dragging her across the street. "Raven, what are we doing?" She laughed evilly, pushing the door open to a small parlor. "We are doing something outrageous." Starfire groaned. This was not going to be good.
