I don't own the Titans

Chapter 2 Heart of a Machine!

"Dinostics complete. Upgrades fully fuctinol. Bio-rhythem's and functions are running within normal parameters. Everything appears just fine, you did wonderfully Ms. Warren" said Sonia

"Thanks to you Sonia and would you please do me two favors?" asked Nakida as she finshed repairing Cyborg 's power cell with a new bio-solar reachargable cell. She turned to her friend who she often forgot that was just a holgram. She said "Sonia go and get me some soda from the vending machine down the hall and stop calling me Ms. Warren! My name is Nakida!"

"Understood Nakida. Your mother gave me my last upgrade in my programing. I 'm sorry if you are upset. I'll be back in two shake's of a lambs tail." With that Sonia dissapeared.

Nakida let out a loud sigh. She could not believe Sonia sometimes. Half of the time she was a teenager and the other half of the time she was acting like a 40 year old in a teenager body! She shook her head as she rubbed her temples. She then looked at the sleeping Cyborg. He was so cute! And he was so brave and smart!

She ran her long delicate fingers down his face and chest. She didn't care that he was half organic and half inorganic. She was so lost in her thoughts that it totally surprised her when he moaned. She gasped as he opened his eye and looked into hers and said. "That's it you 'll. I must be in Heaven cause I see an angel!" He the groaned a little as he raised his head.

She giggled and said "Shu lie still. You were damaged when you saved me. I need to run a few more tests and Sonia you are overdue for a rest cycle. Go take a nap ,I'll wake you in excatly two hours and twenty-five mins and thirteen secs." Nakida told the hologram gurdian who had just returned with the soda's.

"Ok Ms. Warren I will run a dinostic on myself while I rest." Yawning loudly she said, "See you later Ms.Warren!" said Sonia as she dissapeared

Cyborg was bugging out big time! "Ok I'm usually quick on the up take but could you please tell me what in Heaven's name is going on?!!!!!!! Who are you and where am I and who or what just vanished!!!!!" He scanned his surrondings.

He was strapped to some sort of dinostic bed with moniters beeping softly. A big screen covered the left side of room was displaying all kinds of information. To his right were all kinds of super computers. In front of him were tables, shelves and drawers filled with all kinds of sophisticated equipment and some sort of closet with weird suits in it. Using the camera in his finger he saw that situated behind him were all sorts of experiments going on. It looked like robots were repairing advance cybernetic parts. In big blue letters there were the letters B.I.R.L. Center. This was definetly the most freekyiest place he'd ever been.

"My name is Nakida, Nakida Ororo Warren. Daughter of Evan Daniel Warren and Melinda Vi Halliwell Warren. You are at B.I.R.L. Center or Bio-Tech Instuntinal Research Labortory Center. We do experiments and research in the fields of medicine and technology. From genetics to cypernetist. As well as many others diffrent types of sciences. My Dad is a world renound doctor and my Mom is a world renound scientist. Both are prodigy's. They completed high school at age 10. Became a Dr. and scienticist at 12 and completed collage at age 16. I 'm a Dr/Scientictest too. Sonia is my best creation." she said smuggly.

"Sonia was that blond? But she dissapered! What is she excatly?" he asked full of curiousty.

"She is the first and only Living Hologram on the Earth. She has all the abilities of a hologram but she can think and learn. She can also adapt to her suroundings. She behaves like a human too. She can age and grow and must elimanate the negtive engery built every day. I also built a force field with a texture wrap so she can be touched and felt. She's really my only friend because we move so much. You see by the time I was five I 'd been on every continent in the world including Antartica. We travel a lot. But enough about me I want to know all about you , Mr. Victor Stone aka Cyborg. Like what where you doing there when you saved my life? And tell me all about the Titans and you life I'm just so curious." she said so curiously

He was shocked that she knew his real name but she look so sweet and innocent and she really looked very lonely. So he said " How you know my real name, Nakida?" he asked

"I knew your mom and dad from a previous job about oh three years ago. They were working on cypernetic parts which I can tell saved your life after that terrible accident a few years back. The Bio Center is a sub division of S.T.A.R Labs that's top secreat. It funded by announamous non-profit oraganisation which we like to call the Starburst foundation. So tell me more!" she finshed explaining

He was beganing to see that this girl was more than a pretty face. "Well I was busy doing errands when our paths crossed. I just finshed the grocery shopping and I got a new game and was just picking up a pair of new spark plugs. I must admitt that I didn't expact to meet a new friend today." he said

"Well I'll finish running tests on you and all the upgrades are working just fine. You will find that your new bio-solar battery cells is working just fine. You see your cyper parts have been coated with a thin layer of photosynthetic cells that store engery. Every time your heart beats the stored energy mutlplyies by ten! So if your power cells dies it will immeaditly go to the solar energy reserves! I also installed some new software and a new trancelation chip and some magnetic soles and anti-gravity power in you feet. I did a few more things but in general things are about the same. So want to get some lunch? I'm starving for some sushie! We could talk some more." she said to him polietly.

Listening to his stomach he realized he was hungry. He had put up with Beast Boy non-dairy waffels that moring and he was dieing to eat real food! "So tell me what's on today menu? I must admitte I never tried sushie before so what does it taste like and do you have any pork tenderloines? " he asked as he got up.

She smiled her million dollor smile and said "Follow me! " She lead him out to the door. She paused for a moment in the door as a glowing greenish circle surround her and went up down her body and a coumpter said "Decantamination complete you may proceed. Have a nice day and a better tommorrow Thank you!"

"What was that? And what are those ?" Said Cy as he pointed to a small robot. It was the size of a cat. And it was moving rather fast just like everyone else in the long bright white halls.

"Those a the cleasening bots. Everyone and thing is cleaned every twenty minuets we can't affored to contaminat everything with bacteria. Ah the cafeteria. Hi Kiki you and Jiji got anything good to eat today?" she asked to faternale twins. A girl with black and brown eyes and her brother with brown hair and black eyes.

"We can serve you any meal under the sun. So what would you and your friend like to eat?" said Kiki happily

"I would like some Japeness sushie with some camile tea and Cyborg here would like a hub cap pork tenderloine, potato chips, and a chocolate milkshake. Thank you very much!" she said as she was handed two trays and took a table in the middle of the room and began to eat.

Cyborg looked at this girl with great intreast. She was so sweet and kind and she just had so much to offer he want to know everything about her. They spent the next 45 mins talking about their adventures and familys and they saw the person's heart and soul not Cyborg 's mechanicle parts or that of Nakida's beauty or brains. These things didn't matter to them as much as the person themselves did.

"Well thanks for lunch, Nakida. Would you like to take a real tour of city. I mean you showed me a great time and all it only logically for me to do the same." he said pleasently.

She bit her lip and said "I don't know Cyborg I would love to spend the afternoon with you but I have so much to do. I have to meet my parents in twenty mins to help them and Dr.Lynx on the laser project. I'm sorry!"

"Nakida, has anyone every told you all work and no play makes you a dull girl? You're 16! not 32. Your not an adult yet! Sometimes you just need to be a kid! I mean me and my friends may be super heros but we still find time to be kids. Come on just one day of fun isn't going to kill you come on skip work for a day. Tell your parents you need some time off! to play!" he said as he begged her

"Play hooky? I 've never diobyed my family's wishes before, but you're right. I need to take time out once in a while for myself. Let's go Cy! But first you got to swear on your life that this location will remain secret! We wouldn't want the wrong people to get their hands on this technolgy! I mean most of it isn't scheaduled for release for another fifty years!" she said with great enthuism.

They left what appered to be a toxic waste dump. "Your hiding in a toxic waste dump? "he said with an arched eyebrow.

"Do you know a better place to hide?" she questioned

"A high school? Or a great great aunt garden shed? " he commented.

They spent the rest day going to the beach ,movies, roller blading ,acarde, races, and the carnivile where he won her a giant black panther plushie. He dropped her off at her apartment complex.

"Well Cyborg I had a great time today. You know this is the first time I can every remember feeling like a normal kid and not some super smart girl. Thank you. For today and saving my life so I might enjoy this day." she said as she blushed.

"I should be thanking you. You saved my life and I 've never felt happier in my entier life! So will I see you again?" he said nervesly

"Here's my cell, beeper, e mail, and fax numbers. And I think you will find that it will be easier to contact me then you think. See you later Victor. " she said as she kissed him gentely on the check. She walked into her apartment.

He blushed a deep red as he walked back to the T-car and drove home with a smile a mile wide. Both had a dreamy look in their eyes as they sighed heavenly. They had found their soulmates.
