Thanks for the reviews and here is the next chapter...

Warnings: Mild yaoi.


As the woman made her way to Titans Tower, a news bulletin was dispatched over all the local news channels for people to be aware of a African-American woman with long, black hair, a fit build, and some kind of mechanical arm. Once the alarms went off at the tower, they all left in hot pursuit of the woman, except for Raven, who was told to stay behind and rest. Robin and Cyborg took the ground search of the city, while Starfire and Beast Boy took the aerial.

Since they had left to look for her before it was about to become sunset, they had minimal time to search for her without having to look blind. Cyborg could use his eye, but chances are, he would not be able to find her on his own. They were all in a mad rush to try and cover as much ground as they could. When the sun had gone down all the way, and there was not enough light in the city to be helpful, they had to postpone the search until daybreak.

They all meet at the tower and decided to turn in early so that they could all wake up to continue the search without having to fight too much fatigue. When everyone was in their rooms for the rest of the night, a mysterious shadow made it's way into Raven's room, waking her.

"Starfire, is that you."

"Yes Raven, come here I must show you something."

"Do you know what time it is?"

"Please, just come."

As Raven made her way out of her room, she was hit over the head with a pipe and knocked out. The woman dragged her back into her room and placed her in bed and covered her up, making it seem like nothing ever happened. After that, she cracked open a few pills in slipped the powder into Raven's mouth, she then got some water and tilted Raven's head so that she would drink the water and the pill powder with it. She then turned on a light and checked her arm.

"So, this thing even fooled Raven."

She looked at some buttons and a small screen in her mechanical arm. The small screen read, 'Voice Activated : Starfire'. She then cycled through the list of all the Titans names and stopped at Raven's name and entered it in. She tested it out and when she found it satisfactory, she left Raven's room and took the stairs down to the basement, so not to make noise with the elevator. She waited in the damp, darkness for morning, when the Titans would leave to go hunting for her.

When the morning came around, the Titans all woke up within five minutes of each other. All except Raven. The drugs were still in effect and caused her to stay in bed. Everyone else meet in the main room and waited for her. After about seven minutes of waiting, Robin told them to just leave. He figured that she was still drained from minding his rib, so he'd give her one more day of rest to fully regain her vitality.

Once they all left, the woman checked her tracking device that had a lock on all the Titans life signs to see that they were at a safe distance in order to carry out her plan. Meanwhile, Robin split the team up in the same way he did before, hoping that they could find her today, before she hurt someone else. After about an hour of scanning the city, everybody's communicator crackled a little and then they heard Raven's voice.

"Hey guys, I think you should come back to the tower and take a look at this."

"Glad to see you awake. What is the problem?"

"Not sure, but please hurry."

They all abandoned what they were doing and rushed over to the tower, meeting in the front.

"Cyborg, can you read anything?"

"No, it all seems to be clear."

They heard Raven call from the roof of the tower so they all ran or flew up there to see what was going on. When they reached the top, they saw Raven's back. She was fully cloaked and nothing seemed to be wrong with her. Beast Boy walked up behind her, closely followed by the others, and as he approached her, he could see something else in front of her. He grabbed her shoulder and when he had a good feel of it, jumped back.

"Guys, its her!"

"I think we can see that for ourselves Beast Boy."

"No, not Raven. Its...."

Before he could finish his sentence, the woman turned around and shot a beam out of her robotic arm, just like Cyborg, throwing them all to the far side of the roof. Before they could get back up to attack, she revealed the sleeping Raven. She picked her up by her neck and had her cannon aimed at Raven's head. She walked to the other end of the roof and threatened to fire if any of them moved.

"What do you want with her. Why are you doing this?"

"I don't have any business with her, I just needed her to make my plan workout."

"How come my scanners didn't pick up your signals?"

"Because Slade gave me a cloaking device to hide them."

"Slade, what does he have to do with this?"

"That my dear Robin, you will find out another day."

After that was said, she threw Raven off the tower and moved out of the way of Starfire who flew off to catch her. She didn't catch her in time, but Raven didn't die, the woman threw her into the water so that she would not get killed. She had no need to kill her, since she was not the one intended to be killed.

As she stood on the roof, she readied herself for a duel with the boys. As they got in their stances, Robin tried to find her weak spot in her stance. He gave Beast Boy and Cyborg the signal to attack when ready and no sooner than doing that, Beast Boy and Robin ran towards her. Beast Boy turned into a wolf and waited for the right moment to strike while Robin fought her. She stayed on Robin's every move, some of her move even looked a lot like his. When Robin jumped up to try and kick her, she grabbed his foot and threw him a good ten feet away from her. Beast Boy came in for the kill when she pointed her finger towards the green wolf. Once he was within firing range, she shot a dart out of the tip of her finger, lodging it in Beast Boy's arm. Almost instantaneously he changed from a wolf to his normal form.

"What's happened to me?"

"Slade gave me several little toys to use on you all. I have one for each of you."

"Why can't I change into anything?"

"Slade concocted a serum that cancels out your animal abilities. You are nothing more than a mere human now, a mere green human that is."

"Am I gonna be stuck like this forever?"

"Only I have the antidote, and I don't plan on handing it over."

She started walking towards the defenseless Beast Boy when Cyborg cut in. He just stared into her eyes, and could only think about how much he wanted her to pay for harming Beast Boy.

"Don't you remember me, Cyborg?"

"No I don't, but I do know that you are going down!"

"Not so fast! You wouldn't hurt your girlfriend would you?"

"Girl.... friend...."

"Yes, it's me, from High School. Remember now?"

"Why are you doing this? What happened to you?"

"Slade saved my life, and not only that, but he gave me superhuman abilities."

"How did he save your life?"

"One day, while I was waiting to cross the street, someone shoved me out into the ongoing traffic. Before I could see who it was, I was hit by a truck. The doctors did all they could, but after hours of surgery, they decided that I was brain dead, nothing more than a useless vegetable. Slade saved me by funding and giving the same surgery that was given to you. Only he gave me extra. Made me better than you."

"So why hurt us?"

"You ruined our perfect life, my perfect life. We were meant to be together, but then you changed. I hate you for that. And not just that, but Slade asked me if I would like to get even. He didn't have to ask twice."

"You act like it was my fault that I was in that accident. Listen, if I could go back to the way things were, I'd do it in a heartbeat."

"That's enough of your lies, time to die."

"You've got some serious issues lady!"

"Don't make me destroy what's left of you, you little grass stain."

Cyborg snickered at what she had called Beast Boy. He thought to himself about how they were still so much alike. He missed being with her, but then he realized that she was a villain now, and nothing would make him want to be with her ever again. Starfire had given up on trying to wake up Raven and brought her back to the roof so that she could lay her down and let her sleep. After she made her way over to Robin, the woman attacked again. She swung at Cyborg relentlessly, getting several hits in before Robin and Starfire got her off his back. Even with all of his gadgets, Robin was still no match for her. The only thing he could do was try and faze her with his speed long enough for Starfire or Cyborg to pull off a heavy attack. Starfire joined Robin in hitting the woman only to be thrown to Cyborg.

They made their way behind Robin and waited for the right moment once again. Robin managed to kick her hard enough to get her guard down, after that, he jumped in the air and dropped an exploding diskette in the path of large beam that was created by Starfire and Cyborg combining their attacks. The sheer force of the attack as it hit the woman was enough to send them all flying, but they held their ground. As the woman picked herself off of the ground, sparks were coming out of her arm. She slowly backed away, keeping the Titans in her sights as she did so. As the three Titans ran towards her, she jumped off the roof and disappeared before the reached the end that she had leapt at.

"She's gone."

"She will pay for all she has done."

"And Slade will pay for what he has done to her."

"Raven will not wake up. Do you thing these drugs will were off soon?"

"She should be awake by morning, later tonight even."

"What about me? I can't do anything."

"I can try and make a antidote, or we can try and get it from her."

"I'm sorry I got you guys into this."

"Its not your fault. She decided to got down this path on her own, Slade just gave her a boost. I wouldn't be surprised if Slade himself pushed her out in front of the cars."

As they made their way to the elevator, Robin picked up Raven so that he could put her in her room. Once she made it to her room she opened her eyes and looked completely lost.

"What happened?"

"That woman snuck in and drugged you."

"Did you guys get her?"

"She got away."

"Is everyone alright?"

"Well, she shot Beast Boy with some dart that made him lose his powers."

"Can it be reversed?"

"Yes, but she is the only one with the antidote, and I'm afraid that I have too much on my mind to try and make one for him. You should get some rest, you have no clue what she has done to you."

"Fine."

Robin left for the main room and once he got there, they all just sat on the couch in total silence. Beast Boy turned the television on after a couple of minutes to try and spark up a conversation between his teammates. Secretly, he kept trying to morph into anything, a dog, a tiger, but nothing worked. He was stuck as a useless, green human. When he looked over at Cyborg, he saw that he was thinking. He looked away, because deep inside he knew what he was thinking about, her. Cyborg got up and started walking towards the exit.

"Cyborg, you be careful. If she could sneak up on Raven, she could get any of us."

"........"

"Are friend seems troubled."

"That was his ex-girlfriend, Star. She just tried to kill him. If that happened to me, I would feel kinda down too."

Beast Boy watched him leave the room and head outside. He got up and followed him a few minutes later. As he found Cyborg staring at the sky, he could only pity him. Even if she was trying to unknowingly ruin his chances of getting with Cyborg, and had royally screwed his powers, this was still about Cyborg. Cyborg walked to the shore of the island and bent down to touch the water. Beast Boy moved next to him and when Cyborg stood upright again, they both stared at the sky together.

"Dude, I'm sorry."

"Sorry about what, it's not like you had anything to do with it."

"I..."

"What do you want?"

"I just wanted to talk."

"Why?"

"I don't know, I just do."

"Why with me, talk to someone else."

"But I want you, I mean I want to talk to you."

"........."

Cyborg stared down at him trying to figure him out. Even with all the stress he was going through, he still couldn't help but feel for the little, green teen. He never thought Beast Boy could care for anyone but himself, but he was showing some other side of himself today.

"I just can't think anymore. I thought I knew what I wanted, but things keep coming from all over."

"What did you want?"

"I don't know. Up until now I thought I knew, but then she came back."

"Do you still love her?"

"I hate her, but at the same time, is still want to love her."

"I'm not one to butt in, but why?"

"I don't know! Haven't you heard anything I've said?"

Cyborg picked Beast Boy up by his shirt and brought his face up to his own. Even with the overwhelming want to pound his face, he still wanted him. "Dude", Beast Boy uttered as his face came closer to Cyborg's. As Cyborg pulled Beast Boy closer, both closed their eyes and readied themselves for contact. As their lips touched for the first time, they both felt this weight lift off their shoulders. As the kiss became deeper and more wanted, Cyborg threw Beast Boy to the ground and walked back into the tower. As Beast Boy watched him leave, he felt his lips and wished he could run up behind him and have his way with him, but Cyborg didn't need this and he knew it. Cyborg went to his room and stayed in there for the rest of the day.

"What was that. Why did I kiss him. Now what's gonna happen."

Beast Boy went back to Robin and Starfire in the TV room and could not get rid of the smile on his face. He never thought it could happen, but when things calmed down, he would try to get another one out of him. As he sat next to Starfire with his happy demeanor, they both stared at him and could not understand his sudden change of attitude. They figured he would be pitying himself for the next couple of days, but that seemed to be the last thing on his mind.

"What's up Beast Boy?"

"I just had a uplifting moment."

"What kind of uplifting moment?"

"Nothing really."

"Well, I probably will not be able to make a antidote. We might have to steal the one that she has in order to get you back to normal."

"Dude, are you trying to ruin my mood?"

Beast Boy left the room again to go to his bedroom, but on the way he stopped by Cyborg's room. He knew he would regret it, but he had to try anyway.

"Dude, you in there?"

"Not now man."

"........ Thanks."

"............"

When Beast Boy left, Cyborg had to struggle to get a breath. He put his hand on his chest and could not believe his ears. Beast Boy wasn't repulsed. He laid down on his bed and just thought about it. "I can't", Cyborg sighed as he tried to push the thoughts of Beast Boy out of his head. "I can't do this to anyone else, she was enough."
