-This is chapter 3 of Teen Titans: SAC.

-Now, while it wasn't something that would affect the story whole, I did have to change something (other then your typical spelling and grammar errors) in the last chapter since it ran against, well, logic. One problem with the last chapter (before the revision) was the time issue. While the exact date (which I didn't include one) wasn't the issue since Teen Titans, although it takes place arguably in the 20th or early 21st century, could really take place anytime (Even say, a little further into the future like 2030 when GitS: SAC takes place), the problem had to do with Vic Stone (Cyborg) cyberization, and Motoko Kusanagi's cyberization. Let's say, Cyborg is, at most, 20 years old. 25 if you are REALLY pushing it. Now, from the series (and comic books if you included that), we could surmise that Cyborg was a teenager when he was cyberized. Motoko should be around 30 maybe. No younger then 25. Motoko, according to her history and that one episode of GitS: SAC, she was cyberized at a very young age, around 6 or 7. That would mean Motoko became a cyborg at least 12 years before Vic Stone did. Now, I could make it that when Motoko was cyberized during a time when the technology wasn't the most advance (which is probably very true for obvious reasons), but that still means that Vic Stone was NOT the first one to be cyberized. Obviously, that would need to be changed if I wanted this story to be accurate. Now, Cyborg wasn't the first to be cyberized (though the first to be cyberized in America in this story mind you).

-Speaking of exact ages, I could probably find out if I do a little searching on the web. When I first started this chapter, the Internet was down. OBVIOUSLY, that isn't the case now. Though at the moment, I'm just too lazy to find out those important details. -P

-Unless I have anything more to say later…on with the story!

Jump City Street

Motoko watched a few heavily armored police officers take away the man she and the Teen Titans chased. 'The police can interrogate him all they want. But they will never be able to get anything out of him now this his brain is fried.' She noticed the police officer's dress. 'They're pretty heavily armored for everyday police officers. Apparently the criminals here are pretty tough even without cyberization. If there is a will, there's a way.' As the police wagon drives off, she turned to the Teen Titans who were all staring at her.

Robin was the first to speak after the police arrived. "So Major, what is Section 9?"

"Robin right?" Motoko watched Robin nod in affirmation before she continued. "Well, Section 9 is a part of the police force in Japan. We primarily deal with political situations there. Ranging from political asylum cases to corrupt politicians and diplomats."

Robin raised an eyebrow. "If all you deal with are politicians, then why are you here? Are you on vacation or something?"

"Well, not a vacation." Motoko smirked at the boy wonder. "Section 9 also deals with illegal hackers. Especially corporate terrorism." She turned around and looked at the direction where the Genesis Manufacturing Plant was. "Speaking of corporate terrorism, I need to get back investigating the situation." She turned her head to the Titans. "I've seen some of your work. For a group of vigilantes, you're all seemed to be more effective then the local authorities."

"Uhhhh…well…" The entire team was looking every which way.

"We like to think of ourselves, as aids to the police." Robin commented.

"Either way…" Motoko grinned. "Your help is greatly appreciated. And given that this case seems to be more then just androids with a bug, you're welcome to tag along if you like. I'm sure you all want to get to the bottom of this. And the FBI shouldn't mind either." Motoko grinned as she thought what the expression of her FBI handler might be.

"Sure thing. I don't like to leave a case open…though what does the FBI have to do with this?" Robin started following Motoko when he noticed something. Motoko's neck… 'Are those ports?'

"Well, officially, they are the ones doing the investigating. I'm just an advisor. Though if you want my opinion, they are too incompetent to figure out anything." Motoko continued walking. "I can tell you my official reason for being here. If you all keep quiet of course."

Cyborg noticed the same thing Robin noticed. 'Is she…' Cyborg jumped when he heard a voice in his head.

"That's right Mr. Stone." Motoko grinned as she looked at his shocked expression. "We are both cyborgs."

Cyborg was jumping up and down.

Starfire noticed this. "Is there a problem Cyborg?"

Cyborg finally pointed to Motoko and was shaking his hand wildly. "HOW DID YOU DO THAT!" After the initial panic, he calmed down. "And Cyborg is just fine."

Beast Boy looked at Motoko, then back at Cyborg. "Do what?"

"You want to be called Cyborg?" Motoko raised an eyebrow. "We are both part machines Mr. Stone. Meaning, we are both cyborgs." Motoko grinned back at Cyborg. As she turned forward again, she was slightly startled.

Starfire flew in front Motoko. "You're a half-machine too?"

Motoko looked at the eager looking girl in front of her. "Technically I'm not a half-machine. More like eighty or ninety percent machine."

"Cool! You're one of those human looking cyborgs!" Beast Boy eagerly jumped up and down next to her.

Starfire hugged Motoko. "We have another cyborg like…Cyborg!"

Motoko raised an eyebrow towards Starfire. 'So, she's the alien. I guess that'll explain her eagerness.'

Beast Boy took a hold of Motoko's hand and felt it. "Just like those androids, you feel almost real!" Motoko raised her arm while Beast Boy was holding onto it. "Wow! You're even stronger then you look!"

Motoko looked at Beast Boy hanging off of her arm. "The changling right? Garfield Logan."

Beast Boy let go. "I haven't been called that in a while…" He looked down sadly.

Robin looked at Starfire and Beast Boy at the same time. He sweat-dropped. "Guys, she has a case to investigate…"

Raven sighed. She was thinking the same thing. "Star, BB…" She used her powers to grab a hold of them, and forcibly remove them from Motoko. "Sorry…Major."

Robin walked up next to her. "We're sorry for keeping you. It's just that we've…"

"I understand." Motoko looked back at the Titans. "Probably haven't seen many cyborgs in this part of the world. At least, one that looks like me."

"Yeah…" Cyborg commented. "But we can discuss that later. I have a ton of questions too. But solving this case is a bit more important."

Motoko nodded. "Hopefully, whoever that man was, he didn't compromise the Genesis' computer system too much." She ran towards the Genesis Manufacturing Plant with the Titans following. She stopped as an agent, in a sling, approached her. "Well, nice to see you walking about Agent Hedgecock."

Agent Hedgecock was surrounded by heavily armed FBI agents. They surrounded the plant, even keeping the media at bay. He narrowed his eyes in displeasure at Motoko. "Nice to see you again…Major Kusanagi."

Beast Boy looked at Jaime, then back at Motoko. "What's with him?"

"Nice to see you again Agent Hedgecock." Motoko looked at the plant.

"Whatever." Jaime deepened his frown. "Well, since you know more about computers, you can go on ahead and see if there is any evidence left." He turned to the media and the mob of people just outside the police lines. "I'll keep the media busy."

"Sure thing." Motoko was just about to enter the building when she remembered her company. "Oh, and the Teen Titans will be accompanying me." The Teen Titans waved at Jaime.

"What?" Jaime looked at Motoko and tried to stop her advancement. "Civilians are not authorization here!" At that moment, Jaime saw a reporter approach them. "Damn it! Hey! You're not…"

"Well, he's busy!" Motoko gestured the Titans to follow her. They began their trip to the manager's office.

Genesis Corporation Manufacturing Plant

Upon entry, they see tons of androids covered up. Obviously, they don't want anyone to see their products before their shipment. At least, they don't want the press to potentially take pictures of their products, and whip up any anti-android sentiment that would ruin their chance in the states again. Speaking of the androids, they had another visitor there concerning the androids.

"Bruce Wayne?" Robin looked at the man standing, talking to a few workers there.

"Robin! Long time no see." Bruce Wayne grinned at the boy. "I see you added to your team."

"Not exactly Mr. Wayne." Motoko held her hand out. Bruce shook it. "I'm Major Motoko Kusanagi from Japan's Public Peace Section 9. I'm an, advisor to the FBI."

"I see. Well, I hope I'm not taking away from the investigation on what happened." Bruce smiled at Motoko.

Beast Boy looked at Bruce Wayne. "You're THE Bruce Wayne! Super billionaire Bruce Wayne!"

"Wow!" Cyborg instantly stepped up in front of Bruce and started shaking his hand. "It is so great to be taking to THE Bruce Wayne!"

Starfire turned to Robin. "Is he a great leader or something?"

Robin grinned. "You can say that."

Raven raised an eyebrow. "He's just the most eligible bachelor in Gotham. Not that I would be looking." Raven put an arm around Robin.

Robin blushed.

Starfire frowned at this move. "What are you…"

Motoko interrupted Starfire. "Mister Wayne, checking to see if your shipment is in tact?"

"You're buying androids Bruce?" Robin raised an eyebrow.

"We've been buying them in our international branch. After all, you know Wayne Corporation is a worldwide company." Bruce then returned his attention to Motoko. "With that said, after I heard about what happened to the androids at World Court, of course I'm concerned. I wanted to make sure everything is in working order before we accept this shipment. I don't want the company's name tarnished by faulty androids."

"I see. Well…" Motoko looked at the manger's office. Two heavily armed guards were on either side of the doorway. "I'm going to check the manager's computer. Maybe there is a clue to what is going on."

"Well, I guess I took enough of your time. Go ahead and continue your investigation." Bruce waved Motoko goodbye as she started to head towards the manager's office along with Cyborg and Beast Boy. He turned his attention to Robin as he was still standing next to him.

Robin looked at Bruce Wayne. "Is the Batman going to make an appearance anytime soon?"

Bruce shook his head. "I don't think so. I heard the Batman is taking a long vacation. Besides, this is your jurisdiction Robin." Bruce winked at him.

Robin smiled. "Nice to see that you…I mean he trust me."

Bruce winked again. "Yeah. He apparently heard that you have been doing a great job here. No reason for him to get involved."

"Thanks." Robin smiled. "By the way…" Robin lowered his voice so no one but Bruce could hear. "You didn't happen to check the computer logs here did you?"

Bruce Wayne looked around, then lightly nodded to Robin. "Yes." He lowered his voice. "It was definitely no bug. Someone infected them with a virus that caused them to attack the company's board members. You could ask that Major Kusanagi person for more information." Robin nodded. Bruce then smiled and returned to his normal tone. "Oh, and what's with you and that Raven girl?"

Robin blushed. "Well we um…"

"NOTHING!" Starfire yelled.

Raven raised an eyebrow at Starfire. "Yeah. We're just friends." She stared at Starfire's outburst. She internally smiled. 'For now at least.'

Bruce looked at Starfire, then at Raven, then at Robin. He grinned. "Sure you are."

Manager's Room

Motoko typed on the manager's computer. She got through the password-protected system and began to decipher the android's logs. "It seems to be all in tact."

Cyborg looked over her shoulder. "From the looks of it, the virus uploaded to the androids sometime after the delivery. Possibly from a remote server somewhere."

Motoko nodded. "And from the looks of it, who ever did this, was able to break through the android's firewall. And once the meeting started, the virus activated, taking over the android's systems."

"That would mean someone would know when the meeting took place and programmed the virus to do it." Cyborg rubbed his chin.

"My thoughts exactly." Motoko dove deeper into the system. "It's too late to find out where the virus came from. Whoever uploaded it covered all traces to themselves."

"And if it was that guy that fried his brain…" Cyborg continued. "We're now at a dead in."

Beast Boy was looking around the office. Nothing here was of much interest to Beast Boy. Especially since all the important clues were on the computers. Something Beast Boy obviously had no knowledge on. He started playing with the Newton's Cradle, watching the balls on end swing and fall back, causing the ball on the other end to swing and fall back. "Looks like they need to update their anti-virus definition."

Motoko smiled at Beast Boy's response. She was slightly amused by his response. "They probably have." She then turned serious for a minute. "However, these viruses are not your run of the mill viruses. To make one that would not only break through the android's firewall, but also infect them to the point of making them attack the board members takes skill."

"Yeah." Cyborg turned serious as well. "Anything more you can find out?"

Motoko typed more commands. She searched the manager's computer. "They have quite a few interested in these androids. Wayne Corporation being the major one."

"Bigger targets then World Court." Cyborg commented. "So why screw up their androids when you could've waited a few weeks and take over a corporation like Wayne."

"I don't know." Motoko looked out the shattered window. "And what else is bothering me was that man's camouflage. Only military personal have them."

Beast Boy yawned. "Are you guys done yet?"

"Whoever is doing this obviously have the backing of some pretty powerful people. Too many questions…" Cyborg contemplated the situation they were in. Then he looked out into the field of androids. "And what could be their goal? They can't use this virus now. Though they could change the virus to get through the new firewall they are bound to put up, I expect the Genesis Corp..." He looked outside to see Bruce Wayne. "And Wayne Corp would be ready to respond if they decided to attack again."

"Good point." Motoko replied. "But then again, even the best countermeasure can be overcome." She turned off the manager's computer. "Until we find out more, we will just have to search elsewhere right now."

Cyborg looked at Beast Boy who was obviously bored. "Well, I guess we are done here. We should be getting home."

Motoko nodded. "Come to think of it, the Chief didn't set up my residence here. Looks like I have to look for a hotel somewhere here."

Cyborg scratched the back of his head. "Well, I guess you can come live with us for a while. You can stay in that spare room!"

Beast Boy raised an eyebrow. "You want her to stay at the T-Tower?"

Motoko also raised an eyebrow. "That's nice Mr. Stone. But I don't want to be a burden…"

"Well…" Cyborg stuttered a bit. "I was just thinking…since we're investigating on the same thing, you could live at the T-Tower during your stay. We could work together faster if we stayed under…ummmm…one roof you know."

Motoko gave a questioning look at Cyborg. "I'll consider it Mr. Stone. But wouldn't you have to run it through your teammates though? Especially your leader Robin?"

Cyborg looked outside. "I'll talk to them about it. Oh, and again, I'm fine if you just called me Cyborg."

Motoko frowned. It was apparent that Cyborg didn't like being called by the name given to him by birth. 'Guess he feels disconnected from his ghost. I know the feeling.' "Sure thing, 'Cyborg.' Though Victor Stone isn't a bad name."

"Um…yeah." Cyborg slowly walked out. "Hey Robin…"

Titan Tower

"And here is the main room." Robin finished his tour with Motoko. "If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!"

"We have a new friend!" Starfire hugged Motoko. "You can try my zorkobarry pie!"

"I wouldn't recommend it." Raven replied while reading her book. "The last time I ate it, I turned purple for a week."

"I got the first controller!" Cyborg jumped onto the couch and turned on the PS2. The game they were going to play was SSX3.

"You go ahead Cy!" Beast Boy waved back at him. "I'm going to check on Terra."

"Just keep it down." Raven started reading a book.

Motoko looked at the Titans. 'They were all definitely young.' It felt very odd to her. They were all teenagers doing teenage things at their age. Even Starfire, the alien, was obviously a teen. 'And to think, these same teens were all responsible for saving the city not so long ago. All risking their lives even.' She sat down next to Cyborg. "So how does it feel, spending your teenage lives protecting people?"

"Not bad." Cyborg was playing the single player mode until Beast Boy comes back. "I mean true, we have some big responsibilities, but I think we can all handle it."

"I see." Motoko looked back at the door. 'Let's see, we have Starfire, or her real name Koriand'r…I think I'll just call her Starfire.' Motoko mentally added. 'She's making her alien food. Robin is in the training room. Raven is reading a book. Victor Stone is playing a video game. And Garfield Logan…meeting…' Motoko turned to Cyborg. "Mr. Sto…Cyborg, who is Terra?"

Cyborg lowered his head a bit. "Um…she…I'll tell you later."

Motoko raised an eyebrow.

Medical Room

"Well, things have been interesting today. Psycho invisible guy, plus, we met someone new." Beast Boy held her hand. "She's now our guest. She's…a little older then all of us. Total military person and all…" He looked at the comatose Terra. Tears threatened to trickle down his face. "Terra, please wake up! I need you!" Beast Boy started crying.

-End of Chapter 3

Well, that's chapter 3 for ya! And to be honest, I'm not completely happy with it. The reason being is, I thought that the first part was too dialogue driven. I tried changing that a little, but still, it didn't sound right to me. Also, I originally had the start of this chapter where they would be investigating the manager's computer. Since I wanted to include Bruce Wayne, I set it back a bit so that I can, to an extent, properly introduce him. This made the first part longer then I originally planned. If the end felt a little rushed, I apologize for that too. This chapter took longer to get out then I intended. Since I wanted to finish this chapter as fast as I can, I sort of rushed the ending. Not only with the relatively unplanned portion, but I also made changes like what the criminals were, and what were their motives (while we obviously don't know that from here, this chapter at least introduced us to what they were doing. So I obviously had to make sure that what they find in this chapter goes along with the rest). Not to mention, I also took out a few scenes that I now hope would be in the next chapter. Still, IMO, it isn't a bad chapter (since if it was, I would simply not post it). But again, I won't call this my best work either.

BTW, in case you were wondering, Motoko Kusanagi is Bisexual. While her 'interest' in female have been implied in the series, in the manga (according to someone who has them. Not me), not only does she have a lesbian scene (which I will NOT get into details here. ;-)) she does have a boyfriend in one of the volumes. Why am I telling you this? Would this be important in later chapters? Guess you have to find out.

Next Chapter…after a week of no activity, the Feds are considering sending Motoko back. But then, another incident of hacking could be a connected to the android incident. Also, will Raven and Robin's budding relationship grow? Or will Starfire stop it? And will Terra wake up? Until then…later!
