Chapter 18
Let the Repairs Begin!
The Titans emerge from Raven's shadow in front of a huge mansion, the gate leading up the driveway engraved with a large B covered by a W. Robin walks over to the speaker box near the side and pushes a button.
"May I help you?" Came a voice.
A small smile crosses Robin's face as he pushes the button to talk back.
"Hello Alfred. It's Robin."
"Master Robin? Is it really you?"
"Yes Alfred. We have a slight emergency, could you let us in please?"
"Of course. Come right in." Alfred said as the gate buzzes and opens.
Robin signals to his friends and walks up the driveway, his friends following him. Upon arriving at the front door, Alfred immediately opens it, stepping back to allow the Titans inside. Alfred looks at Robin in surprise.
"A gorilla, Master Robin?"
Robin smiles once again.
"That's not a real gorilla, that's Beastboy." Robin replied. "But we have an emergency right now. We need to get Cyborg hooked up to life support. Can you give us access to the medical wing?"
"Yes of course. Follow me." Alfred replies, walking down the hall.
"Follow him Beastboy. Alfred can hook up Cyborg to the life support. Carcer, take Terra and put her in a bed. Make sure she can't escape if she wakes up. I have to do something really fast. I'll join you in a few minutes. The rest of you go with him."
The giant gorilla nods and follows Alfred; the rest of the Titans and Carcer follow suit.
Robin watches them go, and as soon as they were out of sight, jogs up the staircase to a large grandfather clock. Pushing on the bat in the middle of the clock, a hidden door the left of the clock opens from the wall. Walking in, Robin walks down a spiral staircase, descending deep under the Wayne Mansion. Upon reaching the end of the staircase, Robin walks into a dark cave, the familiar bats still perched on the ceiling, the control panel with the huge TV screen still lit up, showing Gotham City, and sitting in the chair in front of the screen was none other then Batman. Robin smiles and walks over to the chair.
"Hello Robin. I was wondering when you would show up." Batman said.
"How did you know I was going to show up?" Robin asked.
"I watch the news."
Batman hit a button and the TV screen switched from a view of the city to the news.
"This is Lina Marovahic for channel six news with a news update. Jump City is now completely under the control of the mad man Slade. There have been many casualties in the hostile take over of Jump City, which raises the question, where are the Teen Titans? The cities heroes are no where to be found. Some say that Slade has destroyed the Titans, others say they just abandoned the city when the goings got rough. Where ever they are, this reporter hopes they come to their senses and return to the city."
Batman switches off the TV and turns to Robin.
"Now, why don't you tell me what's been going on." Batman says as he stares hard into the eyes of Robin.
"Yeah...OK. It's a long story..."
"That's ok. Alfred will take care of your friends. I have all the time in the world."
Robin sighs and takes a seat next to Batman and begins the story.
MEDIC WING
Alfred finishes hooking Cyborg's body to a life support, while Carcer lays Terra down into a bed next to him. Raven and Beastboy watch.
"Your friend is now on complete life support. He will be fine, I'm sure. He needs major repair. I shall fetch Master Robin to begin repairs immediately." Alfred says as he walks out of the room.
Raven looks at Beastboy and Carcer.
"We should try and help Terra while Robin fixes Cyborg up." She says, walking over to a chair and sitting down.
"Yeah. We could use her help to take back the city." Replied Beastboy. "But I'm going with you when you go in."
"Fine. As soon as Robin gets here, we'll go in." Raven said.
After about twenty minutes, Robin walks into the room, a huge case of tools in hand. Setting them down next to Cyborg's bed, Robin turns to his teammates.
"Well, I'm going to start on Cyborg. Judging from the damage, it'll take me a while to fix him up. Probably around six or seven hours."
"And while you're doing that, Raven, Carcer and I are going to help Terra." Beastboy said.
"I'm not going in with you, Beastboy. Helping Terra is something that you and Raven need to do. She will recognize you, and I don't know if she knows that I'm not with Brother Blood or Slade anymore. I'll just bring trouble if I go in with you." Carcer says. "If there is a computer available, I can try and look for your other friend, Starfire."
Raven shrugs and pulls Beastboy over to Terra's bedside.
"Give me your hand. Now, close your eyes and clear your mind." Raven tells Beastboy.
The two Titans sit cross-legged on the floor near Terra's bed, their three minds connected to one another. Robin and Carcer watch as Raven and Beastboy descend into Terra's mind, both of them starting to slowly hover off the floor a few inches. Robin turns back to Carcer.
"If you really want to help, stay here and help me with Cyborg. With the two of us repairing him, it'll take less time. If you don't mind, I'd like to look for Starfire on my own."
"Alright. But, I don't really know anything about his systems...as a matter of fact, I really don't know much about computers." Replied Carcer.
"Don't worry about it. I'll tell you what to do." Robin said. "If you don't know much about computers, how were you going to find Starfire with one?"
"Uh...I was gonna use Google." Carcer says sheepishly.
Robin stares at Carcer, a bewildered look on his face. "Let's just get to work."
The two begin to unload the tools, putting them in certain places for easy use. Robin removed several of Cyborg's outer coverings and began to remove certain circuits as well. Carcer watched and handed Robin the needed tools and turned this and twisted that when needed. Every now and then, the two glanced towards Raven and Beastboy still sitting in the same spot, neither had moved for the past hour. For the next four hours, Robin and Carcer worked feverishly, fixing Cyborg's outer and inner systems. And for those four hours, Beastboy and Raven sat in a seemingly coma-like trance, both deep in Terra's mind.
