ch 6
Hot tears streamed down Cyborg's face. The song gave so much joy, but so much sorrow. He sniffed and wiped his eyes. Raven looked at him with sympathy, sorrow and concern. She had never seen him cry. He didn't seem that type of person. Cyborg wiped the tears away in vain because only more tears would come. He felt slightly embarrassed about crying in front of Raven, but she understood the pain he felt which was comforting in a way. Their pizzas were room temperature and only a quarter gone from each. Raven looked at the small wooden box in her hands. The dark cherry wood was smooth and well polished. The knob was less than sparkling indicating its age.
"Cyborg? You going to be alright?" Raven stood up and placed the music box by the picture. "Cyborg?" She placed a caring hand on his shoulder and did something unexpected…she wrapped her arms around him. "I know it hurts and I'll help you through it because I know all too well how much you hurt inside. You feel empty and alone, but you're not alone in this matter," Cyborg put his hand on her arm as his bottom lip quivered.
"I just miss her so much. I have nightmares about her for a week then this guy comes and hands me her most cherished things, I just…" he was cut off by a new rush off tears. "I don't think I can take anymore," Cyborg sniffed away the tears and Raven put her arms to her sides. "Thanks Raven, I guess I needed someone to talk to. Without Carmen I don't feel as if I can talk to anyone about my problems anymore." Cyborg put the music box back in his leg. The alarm rang throughput the Tower. The two of them ran to the living room.
"What's happened?" Raven asked entering.
"There's a robbery at 1st National Bank, Titans go!" Robin ran out the door, closely followed by Starfire.
"Hey, what were you guys talking about?" Beast boy called to Raven. She glanced at Cyborg from the corner of her eye.
"Nothing."
The Titans arrived at the chaos of the robbery. A middle-aged woman with brown hair ran out, arms full of 1st National Bank merchandise. Robin raised an eyebrow. The woman kept running to her car.
"They don't pay me enough to begin with! I have children to take care of!" she yelled to no one unparticular. (A/N:*snort*) The Titans entered the bank but saw no robber.
"There is no one here?" Starfire asked confused. Robin checked the vault. It was locked. No one had entered the vault, so where was the robber?
"Titans split up, maybe we'll find him that way," Robin towards a door. The rest of the Titans went separated directions. Starfire noticed some oozy green stuff on the floor. She cringed as it stuck to her fingers.
"I think I have found something, it looks like zotrofian quarzak slug slime," she announced. The other Titans came to Starfire's call. "Smells like it too," she cringed again at the putrid odor. Cyborg ran the slime through his scanner. The ooze was not in the inventory of manufactured items or of animal species.
"It just might be a zoplaptian quartsnack or whatever you called it, my scanners can't find anything," Cyborg admitted.
"Keep searching, we'll find something eventually," Robin got out a flashlight and the Titans continued the search for the mysterious robber. "This is strange. The computer said a robber was happening but this bank doesn't seem to have lost anything. There's not even a sign of a struggle to enter," Robin rubbed his chin in thought. Beast boy noticed a broad shadow down the hall.
"Hey guys," he pointed to the shadow. Cyborg prepared his cannon as the Titans creped towards the shadow. As they got closer they heard deep gurgling noises and muffed sounds. They turned the corner to see a giant green blob over a disintegrating man. His eyes full of terror as the blob sucked him dry. His screams were muffled by the blob's mass and he disappeared into oblivion. The Titans screamed in horror at what they had seen. The blob turned its attention to the Titans. Starfire hands turned green and she fired at the blob. It was spread all over the hallway. The Titans lowered their defenses.
"That took care of that. Good job Star," Robin congratulated.
"It ain't over yet," Cyborg stood motionless, staring at the mess in the hall which was pulling itself back together. That thing was too familiar to Cyborg. It was the monster that haunted his dreams, the same monster that took Carmen away from him and in return gave him his only regret. The blob screamed at the Titans and launched an attack.
