CHAPTER 3

"Cyborg!"

"Who's Cyborg? My name is Victor Stone. (wink wink)

Out of no where, Cyborg walked next to Victor.

"Cy! Who's he?"

Cyborg looked down at Victor.

"Well...he's me!"

"How can he be you?"

Victor looked at Robin, then at Cyborg.

"Before ya'll start bickering at each other, can someone please tell me where I am and why this man keeps calling me Cyborg," Victor said.

Cyborg sighed.

"If I tell you guys, promise not to tell the other Titans? Especially Beast Boy?"

"Who's Beast Boy? And the Titans?" Victor asked.

"Sure," Robin said, "but what does this have to do with Beast Boy?"

"Let me explain. Ok, you know how he's been really depressed and crying lately?"

"No," Victor said confused.

Cyborg pointed to his machine, and told Victor to wait inside.

"Continue," Robin said.

"Right, so anyway, I figured out why he's so sad."

"Really? Why?"

"He misses Terra."

"What! Terra! That was like three years ago! I thought he got over her like a week after she died!"

"Apparently not."

"I still don't understand. Then why is that Victor kid here?"

"Here's the part that you can't tell anyone. For the past three days, I've been working on a Time Machine."

"A Time Machine! Why?"

"I made it for Beast Boy. I figured that if it works, I can send him back in time to tell Terra not to continue working for Slade."

"How are you gunna tell him?"

"Don't know. Probably just show him the machine."

"Ok, so what was up with that Victor kid?"

"He's me as a ten year old. Ya know...before the car crash (I think it was a car crash).

"Oh, I guess he's not used to the future."

"Yeah, he doesn't know how badly he will be injured. I'd better send him back home before he finds out too much."

Cyborg walked over to the Time Machine and opened the curtain. He waved good-bye to Victor and closed it back up. Cyborg pushed a few buttons and pulled a lever. A blinding green light lit Cyborg's room. The two boys shielded their eyes from the brightness. There was a chill that filled the room and made them shiver. They opened their eyes, and the machine was gone.

"Whoa!" Robin said amused.

Cyborg took a bow.

"Wait! If you just sent Victor back to his time with the Time Machine, then how will Beast Boy be able to use it?"

"Like this."

Cyborg went over to his nigh table and picked up a remote. He pushed a big black button, and the machine reappeared before their eyes.

"Cool. So, when are you gunna tell him?"

"I don't know. Maybe a few days. I haven't perfected the landing sequence yet."

"Landing sequence?"

"Yeah. If I don't do something about it, when I send people to the past or future, they could end up anywhere. For example, say I send you back to the night you had to take Kitten to her Prom-"

"Please don't remind me of her," Robin moaned.

"Just listen! So, you could end up anywhere, at any time."

"Oh, I see. Well, good luck with that!"

"Thanks man."

Robin walked out of Cyborg's room, and the door closed behind him. Cyborg went back to working on the Time Machine. He took out a welding gun from his tool box and pushed a red button. Blue and white flames shot out of the gun. He rummaged around through metal squares on thee floor, and picked one up. The square was silver with pointy corners. It could probably pop a balloon if one of the corners touched it. He welded ten smaller squares onto the larger one, and then cut the numbers 0-9 onto them. Cyborg put a turny knobby thingy onto it, and an antenna on the top. He found some old microchips and wires, and put them inside the remote. He welded all of the pieces tighter together, and sighed in completion.

"Wow! I'm impressed with myself," he said satisfied.

He paused for a minute and thought. 'I wonder what Beast Boy and Terra really did on their date.' He smiled, and looked at the Time Machine. He stepped inside and sat on the long narrow bench.

"Here goes."

Cyborg pushed a big yellow button, then punched in the numbers 2004 on the number panel. He pulled a lever, and the Time Machine disappeared. Cyborg was traveling through time and space. The devise stopped, and Cyborg flew forward. He rubbed his head, which was in pain.

"I think it work," he said, not sure of where he was.

He pulled open the curtain, and stepped outside. He found himself in a bathroom. He took out the remote, and pushed a button with a big "C" on it. The "C" stood for cloaking. He heard a knock on the door, and he spun around and opened it. There was a kid about eight-years-old standing in the doorway. The kid looked up at Cyborg with wide eyes.

"Are you Cyborg?" The kid asked.

"Uh...yeah."

"Cool! You're my idol! And my favorite Titan! I wanna be just like you when I grow up!"

"Uh...thanks. Look kid, I'm on a secret mission, so could you just run along and not tell anyone that I'm here?"

"Fine, but only if I can have your autograph."

"Sure, anything for a fan."

The kid took out a piece of paper and a pen, and Cyborg signed it.

"Thank you so much!"

"No problem little man."

The kid walked into the bathroom, and Cyborg hid behind a wall. He shifted his head over a little bit so that he could see past the wall. The bell hanging from the ceiling hit the door, making a well...bell ringing sound, and two teens walked in.
