I dont own Teen Titans

Chapter 4: Questions asked.....

Robin sat in his chair, sniffing every once in a while. Cyborg stood over the bed, looking at him. "Hey, man," he said, "dont beat yourself up so much. There was nothing you could do." Robin looked back at him. "I could've saved her." he said, frowning. He looked at the bed. Starfire lied there motionless while Cyborg place a needle in her arm. "Hopefully this will wake them up." the half man said as he took the needle out. Star's symptoms were the same as BB and Raven. Minor dehydration, brain and heart rate like that of a person who was wide awake. While Cy went over to the security pannel, Robin brushed away some hair of Starfire's face. "Im sorry," he wispered, "i could've stoped it."

He took his gaze off her and looked at the foot of the bed. Resting there was a glass bottle, a silver goo placed inside. Robin had noticed the stuff smeared on Star's hand shortly after he rushed her into the imfirmary, and scraped some of it inside the bottle. He reached over and twisted the cap off. After stareing at it for a moment, he bravely tilted the opening towards his hand. The goo poured onto his glove, sliping between his fingers and driping onto the floor. From what he could tell, it was just chrome Silly Putty. But Silly Putty couldnt hurt people. It couldnt put three of your friends into a coma. Robin was cautious, half-exspecting the goo to leap up and latch onto his face. But to both his surprise and dissapointment it just ozed off his hand and onto the floor. He stared at it for a while until Cyborg's footsteps caught his attention. He looked up to see Cy staring at he silver goop. "Robin....what're you doing?" he asked. Robin held up his hand, letting the rest of the goo drip back into the bottle. "Just trying to see what this stuff is." he said.

Cyborg noded as Robin got to his feet. "Im heading to the medlab." he said, starting to walk away. He was halted when he felt someone grab his cape. He turned around to see Cyborg holding onto him. "Not a good idea, man." Cy said. Robin pulled his cape away and gave him a confused look. Cy sighed. "Look," he said, "whatever this thing is its after us. I dont think we should get separated." Robin blinked at him. "Cy, i'll be in the next room." he said almost laughing, "I'll be fine." Cyborg looked at him scoldingly, then sighed. "Fine, but if i hear so much as a pin drop im coming in there." he said. Robin noded and walked over to a large steel door.

Robin walked into the medlab and sealed the door behind him. I dont know what he's worried about he thought. He was right. The medlab was one of the most secure rooms in Titans Tower. It was surrounded by a solid foot of steel, with a 3 inch titanium shell. The only entrance was the door Robin just walked through, which could only be opend by the handprint of one of the Titans. Also it was climate controled by its own seprate A/C system. Maybe he's just scared to be alone...Robin thought....i know i am. He walked over to a massive machine in the middle of the room. He pressed a button, causing a small tray to slide out. It hissed and fumed with liquid nitrogen. Robin poured what was left of the silver goo onto the tray and slid it back in. He turned on the monitor next to it and sat down, waiting.

The monitor beeped and a program appeared on the screen. He typed in some commands and let the computer do its work. The machine next to him hummed for a few seconds, then the whole monitor's screen turned grey. It the lower left corner it read X100. Robin was working with a powerful electron microscope, and he was eager to get some answers. He press a single key several times, and the reading jump to X2000. The screen zoomed in closely, and Robin could barely make out tiny shapes doting the screen, numbering perhaps in the millions. Curious, he pressed the key a few more times. The reading jumped to X50000, and Robin couldnt belive what he was seeing. He was looking at cells. But they weren't round like animal cells, or square like plant cells. They were jaged, rough looking in texture. Almost like a virus. He studied them more closely. They had definite cell structure. Cell walls, nuclei, everything that was in the textbooks. Robin leaned back in his chair. Whatever this thing was, it had cells. That meant it was a living being. That also meant there was probably a way to kill it.....

Robin wanted to probe further. He pressed the key a few more times, zooming in on one cell's nucleus. As expected, there were chromsomes resting inside. Robin zoomed to the mircroscopes maxium of X10000000, and he could see the definite spiral of DNA on the screen. He moved the computer's mouse and clicked on the DNA. The machine hummed again, and soon a complete 3D image of the nucleic acid twirled on the screen, several comands on the screen next to it. Robin clicked the command "Scan", and the machine was instantly busy with work. Maybe this will say just what the hell this thing is he thought to himself. After several minutes, the screen flashed up a window. Robin leaned forward and was confused. The screen read:

SCAN COMPLETED

DNA COMFIRMED AS HOMO SAPIEN

DNA I.D. COMFIRMED

CONTINUE Y/N?

Robin sat dumbfounded. Not only was this saying the blob thing was a human, but it knew who's DNA it was. Almost regeting it, he hit the Y key, and another window poped up. Robin almost fell back in his chair in shock. There on the screen were the pictures of the people whose DNA was in the cells. A picture of a green messy haired boy, a pale girl with a hood casting a shadow across her face, and a light skined girl with firey red hair and a big smile on her face stared back at Robin. Robin blinked in confusion. "This....this cant be." he said to himself. Still in shock, he didnt bother to look up when the door opened.

Robin still stared at the screen as he heard foot steps coming closer. "Cyborg," he said, "take a look at this. It doesnt make any sense." No one answered him. His eyes grew wide. Slowly, he turned around and gasped. Cyborg stood just mere inchs from him, although he was more metalic this time. In fact, his whole body was a chrome metal color. Robin froze as the silver Cyborg raised his arm, transforming it into a large sonic cannon. It smiled. "Dont take it personaly." it said. The next thing Robin knew, he was sliding down the far wall, a searing pain throbing through his chest. He reluctantly got to his feet as the sound of footsteps got louder. He looked up just in time for the chrome being to wrap its large hand over his face, holding him up in the air. Slowly, Robin felt his energy being drained away. He thrashed intensely, making his energy dissapear quicker. After what seemed like hours, the silver Cy droped him. Robin slid down to the floor, his back proped aganst the wall. With the little energy he had left, he looked up to find a chrome version of himself smileing back at him.

"By the way," it said in a metalic verison of Robin's voice, "my name is Silver, for obvious reasons." Robin grunted slightly until he closed his eyes, and darkness overcame him.

Oooh, scary! Next chapter should be up soon. Please R&R!
