Chapter 10- Cyborg is fixed

The Titans went on with their search pattern. They started at the railroad tracks and finding nothing there, they were very confused.

"Why would Fixit put up so many guards if there is nothing to guard?" pondered Robin out loud.

"Maybe there is something, but we just haven't found it," suggested Beast Boy.

"Or maybe this is just a hoax. That he was just trying to move our attention here so we are away from his real hide out or something," Raven too suggested.

"Well why ever he put the here I don't care. I care about finding Cyborg. And since there is nothing more to see here I suggest we move on," Songbird said. "Besides even if he was here, Raven would have sensed it or I would have heard something."

"She's right," Raven agreed.

"Well he didn't succeed in capturing us," Robin said.

"Yes we must look to the lining of silver of the clouds and search," Starfire said.

There was a collective nod of heads. Beast Boy had a look of concentration on his face as they left the railroad tracks and headed for the docks. Raven was the only one who seemed to notice.

"What's the matter Beast Boy?" she asked him.

"Nothing. Well maybe something. But I need to think about it some more before I tell you guys about it," Beast Boy said.

"Okay," Raven dropped the subject as they climbed into the T-car and headed to the docks.

----That night, Main room, couch---

"This doesn't make sense," said Robin frustrated. "We should have found it by now!"

"We've looked everywhere," Starfire sad dejectedly.

"Were could he be?"

Beast Boy slowly raised his hand.

Robin massaged his temples. "Beast Boy we aren't in the mood for jokes right now."

"Dude I so wasn't going to tell a joke. Even I know when to draw the line," Beast Boy said angrily. Raven laid her hand on his shoulder. Beast Boy seemed to calm down. "I just wanted to say something that has been playing on my mind."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Robin asked.

"Because not everything clicked till now," Beast Boy snapped.

"Okay. Go ahead then."

Beast Boy took a deep breath. "Well is started when Robin said that he didn't succeed in capturing us. I thought about it. What if his plan was to really weaken us? To weaken us so badly that we aren't as quick with our powers. After that fight yesterday I was so exhausted from all the changes I did and fighting I could barley change at all. I still am having trouble. Because I am still tired from the battle. What if that was his plan? He wanted to weaken us so much that it made it difficult to use our powers. Thus letting him put forth any plan that he wants to. Knowing that we would be weakened so much that it might work."

Everyone was silent as they contemplated on what Beast Boy had just theorized.

"Beast Boy isn't as stupid as he looks," thought Raven.

BEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPP!!!

The alarm went off. The Titans went to the giant computer screen to see something they thought they never would see.

There was Cyborg, coming out of the bank holding in his hands several large bags of money.

The Titans were speechless. In a daze they walked to the garage, got into the T-car and went to the crime scene.

---

When they arrived there they found Cyborg patiently waiting for them.

The saw him and they were speechless. Cyborg didn't look like Cyborg. All of his body was covered with black metal.

Cyborg turned to them.

"Hello Titans," he said in a machine voice. "We have been waiting for you."

The Titans were flabbergasted on this turn of events. Starfire was more confused than any of them.

"Cyborg what has happened to you?" she asked.

"Cyborg has been fixed," came a voice. It was Fixit's.

There he was floating above them on some sort of hovercraft that looked like it was an old car.

"What did you do to him?" barked Robin.

"I fixed him," Fixit said.

"No you didn't," growled Songbird. "You have destroyed him!"

Her eyes and hands glowing red she shot up to Fixit.

BBBBOOOOOMMM!!

Cyborg's sonic cannon caught her full in the chest. The blast knocked her into a wall. She slumped on to the ground clutching her stomach. A tear slowly fell down her check, as she looked horror struck at what Cyborg had just done.

Cyborg lowered his smoking arm and put his sonic cannon away.

Fixit looked down at Songbird.

"He has been programmed to let no hostile organic life form near me," he said.

He pushed a few buttons on his control panel and hovered away. Cyborg picked up the bags and followed him.

The others were about to follow, but they found themselves surrounded by about a dozen large robots. They stood in formation. Starfire and Raven floating in the back, Beast Boy crouched and ready to transform, and Robin in a fighting stance his metal staff out. Songbird was still slumped by the wall, still in shock.

The robots charged. The Titans let out a yell and charged in. Songbird raised her head at the noise. She watched Cyborg casually loping after Fixit's rapidly fading figure. Songbird stood and flew after him.

---

Faster and faster she flew. She caught up and passed Cyborg. She stopped a few feet in front of him.

"Cyborg what has gotten into you?" she pleaded.

"I have been fixed," said the mechanical voice.

"You aren't fixed. You have been ruined," Songbird said.

"You are wrong I have been fixed. My new designation is X5," he said.

Songbird shook her head. Her eyes started to burn red.

"No," she said ferociously. "You are Cyborg and you are my best friend. You are NOT X5."

She turned and took off after Fixit, not heeding in the least Fixit's words earlier.

X5 raised his cannon and fired. It hit her in the back and pushed her into the ground. The force of the blast twisted her figure and pushed her two feet into the concrete sidewalk. The impacted knocked her unconscious.

X5 replaced his cannon with his hand and ran after Fixit.

---

The Titans ran to the crater where Songbird was painfully pulling herself out of.

Starfire floated over and helped the girl out. She easily lifted the bruised girl out and headed to the Tower. Raven close in her wake.

Not a word was spoken during this time.

Beast Boy and Robin slowly headed to the T-car. When they got into the T-car and were headed to the Tower Beast Boy broke the silence.

"Robin? How bad do you think this is affecting her?" he asked.

Robin sighed as he turned to the bay.

"There is no way of telling. She just saw her friend rob a bank and hit her twice with his sonic cannon."

Beast Boy was silent as he watched the scenery pass by his window.

"How are you doing B.B.?" Robin asked.

Beast Boy shrugged.

"It sorta feels the same way when Slade made you his apprentice. Except different."

Robin nodded his understanding.

---

Robin and Beast Boy walked into the main room of the Tower. The saw Raven meditating and walked over to her.

"She'll be fine. Apart from a few bruised ribs nothing is new," Raven said as they came up to her. "Emotionally is another thing. She is taking this pretty hard."

"Where is she?" Beast Boy asked.

"She's with Starfire in the hospital wing. Star is bandaging her cuts."

"Thanks. I'll see you guys later," Beast Boy left.

"Is there anything we can do for her?" Robin asked sitting on the couch.

Ravens sadly shock her head.

"There is so much emotional pain there. Something happened to her before she came here. Something terrible, she blames herself for it. I have gotten a few visions of it, but I can't tell what happened. All I see are flashed of red energy exploding buildings. Robin I hate to say it, but I think she might have once been a criminal."

Raven couldn't tell how this was affecting him. There was a long silence. Finally Robin spoke.

"Right now there is nothing we can do about it. This isn't the best time to talk about past deeds. After we get Cyborg back we'll do some research. Just don't tell any of the others about this."

Raven nodded her head.

"I'll be in my room if you need me."

Robin nodded and he was once again lost in his thoughts.

---

Later that night Raven was floating in a lotus position above her bed. She was meditating in her mind.

"Why didn't I tell Robin what else I saw? I should have told him," said Blue Raven.

"Because you knew if you told him he would put her in one of the holding cells. That's why," said Yellow Raven.

"So. If what I saw was true then she deserves to be put in one," Red Raven said.

"But, But what if you're read it wrong?" asked Gray Raven.

"That is a possibility," Blue Raven said thoughtfully.

"There is no way you could have done that. You know what you saw. How could you be wrong," said Purple Raven. "You're always right."

Blue Raven for once listened to her.

"I guess I will just have to do some research. Then I will clear this up," Blue Raven said. "And hopefully sleep."

Raven came out of her meditation and pulled out her laptop. After a few minutes of searching, Raven was stunned at what she found.

"How could this happen? How could we not see it? I have to tell Robin."

A Raven opened a black hole under her and teleported to Robin's side. He was sleeping in his room. Raven had no time to look around it. She quickly woke him up and told him what she had found.
