Chapter Twelve: Robot

Cliff Steele was in a race against many other racers, but as usual, he was in the lead with all of the others miles behind him. Well all of the others but one, that is. His greatest enemy and rival since birth, Robert Crane was only a yard or two behind him.

Cliff whooped happily. He was having the time of his life. But then he saw something and skidded his car to a stop, but it was too late. The next thing he knew he was in a hospital bed.

"Uh..." he said. "What happened?"

"I am your surgeon, Dr. Robert Parker. You have been out for two and a half years."

"Two and a half years," Cliff groaned. He sat up and then stared frustratedly at his body. "What the devil has happened to me?"

"Your body was consumed in the accident. Luckily, Steve Dayton put you inside a robot body so you could live. He did the same for Robert Crane, who was also injured in the accident."

"I need to go," said Cliff. He got up and left to see Mento, ElastGirl, and Beast Boy standing there.

"What do you want?" Cliff asked agravatedly.

"We wish for you to become a member of our team," said Mento. "We are the Doom Patrol, and the three of us rid the earth of crime together. We do so using our powers. We believe that you can assist us."

Before Cliff could respond, a voice sounded from behind him. "Well, well, well, if it isn't my old enemy Cliff Steele.

"Crane," Cliff shouted angrily. "What the hell are you doing here?" He was fuming.

"Thought I'd use the abilities Mr. Dayton gave me to help crime on its way to overrunning the world."

"Well, then, you won't succeed," said Mento. "Doom Patrol, attack!"

Mento, ElastiGirl, and Beast Boy charged at Dayton, who used his steel arms to knock them down.

"Now you can call me RoboLord," he said. "Now time to take you down, Steele!"

Cliff charged at him. "And you can call me Robot Man!" He knocked RoboLord to the floor.

"I'll be seeing you later," said RoboLord. And with that, he dashed away.

"So," said Beast Boy," wanna join?"

"You bet, kid," said Robot Man, huffing.
