Cyborgs eyes opened, and he blinked in the sudden rush of light. Raven was leaning over him, a worried expresion on her face. He groaned and sat up, rubbing the back of his head. "Dude, what happened?"

Raven dodged the question gracefully. "How are you feeling?"

"Like I was hit with a ton of brick..." Realization dawned on him slowly. "Or a spikey haired little traitor! Where's Robin! When I catch him he is so gunna pay-" His rambling was cut off by a delicate finger placed against his lips. The owner of it shook her head.

"It wasn't him. Robin is under someones control." He eyes unfocused for a moment. "Slades it seems. Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

"Tell you what? I've been unconsious for like," He checked his sensors. "Fifteen minutes. Ok, not that long, but I mean still."

"I didn't mean you. I was talking to Robin." She looked away, seeminly slightly embarrassed.

"Where? I don't see him." He got shakily to his feet against his friends protests and looked around his room, then out in the hall. Nothing moved. "What are you talking about? Did he attack you too? Are you ok?" He swooped down and grabbed her in an unexpected bear hug. "He hurt you, and now you've lost your mind! When I catch him!"

Raven struggled out of his crushing grip. "I already told you, he's under Slades control."

"Yeah, you did mention something like that, didn't you." He patted her on the head awkwardly. "Ok then. So it wasn't him who actually attacked me. Us? Are you ok?"

"Im fine. There's nothing we can do for the others. We need to focus on getting Robins body back. We haven't checked for his locator signal yet, so we might be able to-"

"Hold up! Whats wrong with them? Are they alright? Are they alive!" His eyes bulged and he shook her madly. She flopped like a ragdoll in his grip. After a moment he came to his senses and stopped. "Where are they?" She was to woozy to speak, so she just pointed to Starfires room, the door barely visable down the hall. He rushed out, and she followed unsteadily.

He was crouched at the Tamaranians side when she entered. He looked much the way she had when she'd first seen the girl like that. "My sensors say nothing's wrong. She's just tired. They must be on the blink..." He mumbled. "Cuz she won't wake up."

Raven stood in the door way. "BeastBoys the same way. He's out in the living room. But there's nothing we can do. Robi- err... He has their life force. By all rights He shouldn't even be standing. I guess that the powers He stole are all that's keeping him up, because I have the real Robin with me."

Cyborg nodded slowly and got to his feet. He was moving to pass Raven and go check on BeastBoy when he froze. "Robin's with you? Like, in your head?" She said that, yes, he was. "So... can he like, hear everything you hear?" Again she said yes. "Ah. Ok. So we're going out to hunt Slade in Robins body?"

"Not exactly. But sure, why not." She led him down the hall tword their unconsious friend. "I'm going to go scan for Robins communicator. You do what you can for them." He agreed.

'Are we going to go look by ourselves?'

'Yes. We can't endanger Cyborg again. We were lucky that his machanical side was able to reboot his human mind. But it likely won't happen a second time.' The witches fingers flew over the keyboard, trying to get a lock on the blinking signal. 'When was the last time you recharged that thing?'

'Just last night.' He sounded a bit annoyed.

Ok, ok. Sorry I asked.'

'You should be.'

She ignored him. The communicator was moving quickly in a collision course for the Titans East Tower. 'I wonder how Cyborg would feel about us borrowing his car?'

Robin managed to laugh without lips to do it with. 'Not good I'd wager.'

'Then we'd best not tell him.'

Authors Note: I like to think that the fact that I update often makes up for my short-ish chapters. XD . Well anyway, hope you enjoyed!

P.S.: If you reviewed for chapter 8, I shall not be speaking to you now. Sorry, but I just don't have the time. I hope this won't stop you from reviewing in the future. I need them to survive! Reading them is like breathing!

cutter-with-a-cause: I can never keep up with the updating. Infact, I don't pay any attention to them at all. So I guees it's my fault for not knowing what was going on...sniff... I'm such a silly goose. I shall go now to read your story! Well, after I've writen to the other reviewers. Then I will! I promise! And I'll give YOU a review!

rubianca: Thank you for your kind words! It brings great joy into my soul when I get positive reviews! Please keep sending them my way, so as I don't suffocate!

cheeseshirt: Get more sleep them, cuz I like your sarcasm. It keeps me on my toes!

Jordanals: I shall give you the next chapter soon! I just know you'll love it! Or you won't, it's all up in the air at this point!

finalitylife: I'm so happy you've been reviewing! It was weird that they didn't show up, even though the review number was going up. But that's ok, life is what it is. Gasp! I'm so deep! Hehe. And either Robin is calming down or slowly losing his mind... just kidding. Or am I? I dunno! Do you?

ray1: I like when Raven and Robin get together. They're so much better than Robin and Starfire. She's such a prick. Peace out!
