Thanks for the reviews. Here is the long awaited 8th chapter. Have fun ya'll!
Warnings: I suppose I should still say it, yaoi!
"Starfire..." Cyborg said, his face in a worried look. "Robin had one on the back of his head too, do you think..."
"O, no! Robin!" Starfire yelled as she understood what Cyborg was getting at.
They both left the room, Cyborg running, and Starfire flying around the corners of the halls, trying to reach Robin's room as quick as possible. "Starfire... Get Raven!" Cyborg commanded as they passed her room. She did as he asked and opened her door without knocking.
"Starfire? What is the problem?" Raven asked, still in her sitting position as she was levitating over her bed.
"Please, make haste to Robin's room! Cyborg and I believe him to be in trouble!" Starfire hurriedly stated before flying back in the direction of the leader's room.
Raven flew after Starfire and when she arrived she looked inside the room to see Starfire holding Robin's head in her lap and Cyborg scanning the boy's body. "What is going on!" Raven asked, still in the dark to the current situation. She walked next to the group crowded on Robin's bed and watched with worried eyes. She noticed Robin sweating heavily and breathing hard as Cyborg checked him over.
"No, I forgot the syringes in the recovery room!" Cyborg said, beginning to run back to the room he had just been in.
"Please, hurry!" Starfire cried, looking at Robin as she did. "I do not think I have the power, nor the strength to fight Robin."
"Fight?" Raven asked.
"Slade forced into us, small bots that make us do bad things. Cyborg stopped the bots inside of me just seconds ago, but now we fear Robin is too running out of time." Starfire stated, telling Raven of the issue.
"No, you mean, if Cyborg doesn't get back in time.. Robin will attack us like you both did when you had those things on the back of your heads?"
Starfire shook her head, and Raven let out a concerned gasp. They both watched Robin as he continued to worsen. His eyes opened and though they were glazed over, they could been seen looking at Starfire. She ran a hand over his cheeks, feeling the heat of a fever all over his skin. Unknown to them, the monitor back at Slade's hideout showed Robin's current condition at 99.5 percent infected. Cyborg retrieved a syringe and filled it with the same liquid used to cure Starfire. He ran back to the room as fast as he could, knowing every second could mean the difference between saving a friend or making an enemy.
Robin's eyes closed as the infection became closer to complete. He began to cool off and Starfire thought everything was getting back to normal. Robin was strong, he could will almost anything to do what he wanted. Starfire wiped the remaining sweat off of Robin's brow with his blanket and watched as all his signs of pain faded away. Cyborg rushed into the room and took no time in getting to Robin's side.
Meanwhile...
Slade as the percentage went to 100 on Robin's information screen. "And now he is mine... Maybe he will join our fun Beast Boy, he shouldn't be too much longer." Slade told Beast Boy as he was forced to sit next to Slade's chair. Slade grinned behind mask as Beast Boy's pointed ears fell limp. Slade decided not to do anything with Beast Boy yet, he figured it would be more entertaining with Robin also by his side. Slade petted Beast Boy's head like a master would his dog, and Beast Boy did nothing. He just at on the ground looking at the floor. He couldn't stop thinking about the others, about Robin and how he probably attacking them at the very moment, about Cyborg. Ever since Slade put the collar on him, Beast Boy feared Cyborg wouldn't want him back. Beast Boy wished he could transform, but for some reason, he couldn't sum up the strength. Perhaps the fear of what Slade would do next, or maybe the drug he had been slipped had more than a sedative in it, but whatever it was he was once again a normal, green human.
"Yes, he should fight his way out of the tower and make his way here. They will follow him, and then that is when they will fall." Slade admitted happily. "But I will keep you, and maybe Cyborg."
"Cyborg won't let you! He will beat you down." Beast Boy said in rage, the name of his lover pulling him out of his thoughts. "Cyborg would never let you control him."
"Are you even sure Cyborg will still want you? After all, you are mine. His scent isn't what covers you now." Slade shot back. "You are a whore, Cyborg wouldn't want a whore."
Slade's words cut through Beast Boy better than any knife ever could. Right now, he did feel like that which Slade had called him, he couldn't blame Cyborg for not wanting to have him back. As he thought about it, the doors to Slade's lair opened, and in came Robin who was closely followed by the other three Titans. Robin walked up to Slade and bowed in front of him. Slade nodded his head and Robin went to the opposite side of the chair that Beast Boy was on. The three teens stopped and held up fists, looking at Robin stand next to Slade.
"Slade, where is Beast Boy?" Cyborg yelled at the older man.
"Cy?" Beast Boy lightly said, barely being heard.
Cyborg didn't Beast Boy sitting next the chair Slade was sitting in. He could hardly see him, but the green of his hair could be seen peaking over the arm rest of the chair. Cyborg dashed towards Beast Boy, but was stopped by the woman as she leapt from the shadows and grabbed him from behind. Starfire and Raven then made their move but were interrupted when Robin moved in front of them and was going to attack if they made another move. They couldn't fight him, they didn't want to hurt him. Cyborg squirmed in the woman's grip. She had him in such a position that he couldn't get out of the hold if the world depended on it.
"You better settle down there..." The woman began to whisper into Cyborg's ear. "You wouldn't want Slade to hurt your little, green friend would you?"
"You will pay, and as I'm tearing you limb from limb..." Cyborg started, having to take a breath to calm himself down. "You will wish you were never born."
"Funny thing for someone in your current position to say." The woman laughed as she tightened her grip on Cyborg's arms, making small snapping sounds as his limbs were reaching their limits. She then continued to whisper even quieter, "I hope Slade will let me have you, he seems to have grown rather fond of his pet. I'm sure he will, you are my reward after all."
"Witch..." Cyborg let out as he closed his eyes to block out the sight of Beast Boy sitting next to Slade's chair.
"My dear, take Cyborg to holding cell A." Slade instructed the woman, and as she left the room Slade eyed Robin and the girls. "Robin... take Starfire and Raven to holding cell J. I don't want them to be near Cyborg."
Robin nodded and moved behind the girls, then pushed them forward and out of the room. They didn't attack him, just did as they were told and walked, Raven with her eyes closed and Starfire holding back tears.
The woman reached Cyborg's cell and opened the door by pushing in the code to his room. The glass door slid open with a hiss and she carried Cyborg into his prison. He began to struggle with her as she tried to place special shackles on his wrists. It did no good, however, since she was able to snap both hands in and then both ankles. Cyborg tried to break his bindings, but to no avail. Slade had prepared this cell special for Cyborg. No matter what he did, he would not be able to break loose. The woman watched as he still tried to get out. She couldn't help but chuckle at his infantile attempts to get away. She moved within an inch away from Cyborg and head butted him, stopping his thrashes instantly and causing him to cry in pain from a broken nose. Blood ran down his face and the woman watched as more and more gushed out.
"Now that I have your attention..." The woman began to speak to the injured hybrid. "I wonder what I should do... now that we are all alone." She knew what she wanted to do, and she let him know by lightly tracing the rim of his metal crotch guard.
"Don't you touch me!" Cyborg barked, feeling his rage burn underneath his skin.
"O, of corse not, not yet anyway." She returned, then turning around and leaving the bloody Cyborg alone.
Robin pushed the girls into their cell and shut the door after them and then locking the door by entering a code in the button panel. As he left, Starfire fell to her knees and covered her eyes with her hands and sobbed. Raven circled the room and ran her hands against the walls. She then closed her eyes and surrounded herself in her black energy and attempted to pass through the wall, but as she did, she was electrocuted and sent flying into the wall behind her. Starfire got up and ran over to Raven who was laying on her right side on the ground.
"Raven!" Starfire screamed as she shook Raven into consciousness.
"I can't pass through the walls, Slade must of had this room made to counteract my powers." Raven stated as she rubbed her head. "Starfire, try your star bolts."
"Yes." Starfire said, then getting up and aiming her right hand at the glass door. She shot a blast at the glass and as it hit, it caused an explosion, but the door was left unscathed. "I'm afraid Slade perfected this containment area to also hold me in as well."
Raven didn't know what to do. The room was made to withstand both of their attacks. The only thing she could do was meditate. Starfire watched Raven begin to float into the air and decided to let Raven do what she wanted. Starfire walked back to the glass door and placed a hand gently on its surface. She couldn't forget about Robin. They were so close to giving him the antidote, but right as Cyborg was about to stab it into him he attacked, throwing Starfire away from him and punching Cyborg hard enough to push him back a few steps. She did notice, however, Cyborg had brought the syringe with him, so all he had to do at this point was get close enough to stab it into the Boy Wonder. She could only hope it would be soon.
Cyborg rested helplessly in his cell. Pale lights hung from the ceiling, illuminating the room. The hallway outside his cell, however, was pitch black. If anyone was out there, he wouldn't know it unless they came in the room. His scanners wouldn't work, something in the room was jamming his circuits. He couldn't make his sonic cannon work, and he was utterly powerless. He felt the blood from his broken nose run down his face. It hurt bad, why she decided to break one of the few human things he had left he didn't know, but the pain in his nose was a wanted feeling. His heart ached for Beast Boy. He knew Slade had raped him, but what else could he have done? Cyborg could feel his skin crawl as he dwelled on it, but he also felt the urge to crush Slade's skull grow as each second passed.
As Cyborg was dragged away, Beast Boy could feel a small pang in his chest. He was so close to him that he swore he could smell the metal from his body. The woman and Robin had returned a couple of minutes ago, and still, he could feel the pain in his heart. It wasn't a terrible pain, but it was enough to be annoying. Maybe it wasn't from seeing Cyborg, but instead from something else.
Slade watched the monitors of the cells, looking at the Titans as if they were hamsters in a cage. Beast Boy looked up at the screens as well and noticed Starfire pacing around the room while Raven levitated in her meditation stance. Then he saw Cyborg. He was the saddest looking of the three. He was tethered to a wall with his head facing down, hiding his face from the camera. Beast Boy knew it was his fault that they were all here, and he wished he knew if they were going to get out.
Slade started scratching Beast Boy's head lightly, giving the green teen that 'Master and Pet' feeling. He was Slade's pet. He wore his collar. He sat by his chair. He had his hand atop his head as if telling him he was a good boy. He didn't want to accept it, but right now it was true. All that was left was for Slade to call him Spot, and he had a feeling that wasn't too far off.
After an hour of watching the monitors, Slade got up and pulled on Beast Boy's leech until he was standing.
"Shall we pay Cyborg a visit, Beast Boy?" Slade asked in a monotone voice. "He has to be rested by now."
"Slade, please..." Beast Boy began to beg. "Do whatever you want to me, just... just leave Cyborg out of this"
"I will do whatever I want to you Beast Boy." Slade cupped the left side of Beast Boy's face with his free hand. "Cyborg will simply be our audience."
Beast Boy felt his body grow cold after hearing what Slade said. He was grateful that he wasn't going to touch Cyborg, and at this time he counted his blessings.
Slade walked towards the cell blocks and pulled Beast Boy behind him. The halls were dark, but Slade didn't need light to know where he was going. Beast Boy followed blindly in the darkness, but then after a minute of walking noticed a light farther ahead. Slade made his way to the lighted room and when he got in front of it, he just stood and stared in. Beast Boy winced as the light burned his eyes. Once they got adjusted he saw Cyborg hanging in the back of the cell, head down and seemingly asleep.
"Cy..." Beast Boy said inside himself. Slade walked up to the glass and tapped on the door. Cyborg's head sprang up and he watched as Slade walked in the room with a captive Beast Boy in tow. Cyborg's eye turned huge when he saw the collar around Beast Boy's neck, and Beast Boy's eyes grew worried at the sight of his lover's bloodstained face.
"Boys, should we begin?" Slade questioned as he shut the door behind him.
"Whatever your sick mind is thinking, Slade... Don't touch Beast Boy!" Cyborg barked.
"No? But he is my pet... and I can do whatever I please with him." Slade chirped as he drew Beast Boy closer.
"You can't! Take me!" Cyborg yelled out so fast all three of them had to go over what had just been said.
"Cyborg!" Beast Boy shot back, shocked at his request.
"That was unexpected... but I was wondering what it would be like to own a robot too..." Slade said, looking Cyborg up and down as he spoke. "Right."
Beast Boy looked into Cyborg's eye, knowing he had made a big sacrifice to spare him of Slade's torment. Slade then left the room, pulling Beast Boy with him. Beast Boy wordlessly said to Cyborg, "I'm sorry", and after they left, Cyborg lowered his head once again and said to no one, "No, I'm sorry."
Slade reached his throne once again and told the woman to watch over Beast Boy and to take him for a walk in a few minutes while he went to have fun with Cyborg. She wanted to torture Cyborg not watch the 'dog', but she didn't want to get on Slade's bad side, so she took the leech and did as she was told. She watched as Slade Signaled Robin to follow him, and then left with him to go back to Cyborg's cell. She could feel her importance to Slade's mission slip away. He had been ignoring her more and more, and since he know had Robin, she knew that neglected feeling would only grow. She looked at Beast Boy who was standing at her side, watching Cyborg's monitor. She looked at the green teens eyes as he looked at his chained up boyfriend on the tv. She didn't feel any emotion for him except anger. He had Cyborg. She wanted him to suffer for stepping between her and her goal.
"So, dog..." She began, already knowing what she was going to say to him. "How was he, Cyborg I mean... Did he blow your mind the first time you guys slept together?" She was excited to hear his response, you could tell because she ran a finger over her glossed lips, a habit of hers since she was a child.
"That's none of your business." Beast Boy returned, not looking away from the screen.
"That bad, huh? Yeah, he wasn't to great on our first time either." She mocked her ex, remembering back to the time she spoke of. "It got better, I'm just saying... he didn't make to good of a first impression."
"What is Slade going to do to him?" Beast Boy asked, trying to get her off track. "Why did he have to protect me?"
"Slade won't be too bad, he'll just do to him what he did to you." She now picked at her nails as she talked. "I got to watch your little show with Slade, by the way. It was interesting, I never saw a gay porno before."
"No..." Beast Boy whispered, seeing Slade enter Cyborg's cell.
"O, look at that, the show is really gonna heat up know!" She giggled, even if she couldn't be there to hurt Cyborg, she was still more than willing to sit back and watch Slade do it for her.
At first, Slade just stood in front of Cyborg, who still had his head bowed down. He must have been talking to him, telling him the rules. Beast Boy's eyes got huge as Slade approached Cyborg, his fingers tracing all over the hybrid's body. Slade made sure to one on one or another side of Cyborg so the camera had a good view, he wanted to be seen. He felt the skin that remained on Cyborg's left arm and yet, Cyborg's head was still down. Beast Boy knew it was embarrassing for Cyborg, being felt up by your sworn enemy. He continued to watch, and followed Slade's hands as they continued to explore the marvel of modern science that was Cyborg. The man's hands stopped when they reached Cyborg's thighs. He bent down and looked at the metal guard that covered Cyborg's privates. He lightly rubbed the edge of it and then stood back up. He turned around and looked at Robin, who was also in the room as the bodyguard. "Take him down, Robin." Slade ordered. Robin wordlessly walked up to Cyborg and unstrapped him. He fell to the ground, and as he was walking back to the other end of the room, Cyborg shot up and grabbed his cape, catching Robin and Slade off guard.
"CYBORG!" Slade yelled, but then stopped as Cyborg held his precious Robin, threatening to kill him. "What? You think I care if you kill your leader? Do it, I dare you!"
"Bad idea letting me down Slade!" Cyborg said as he pulled the syringe out of his thigh with his free hand and stabbed it into Robin's neck.
"What is that?" Slade laughed, unaware of the antidote to his mind-controlling drones that was now flowing through Robin's veins.
"That was the antidote. This stuff stopped Starfire from going under your control, and it will also snap Robin out of his trance." Cyborg explained as he dropped Robin on the ground.
"Impossible!" Slade let out, shocked at the antidote even he didn't think of making.
The woman watched on the monitor as Robin squirmed on the floor. She didn't really know what was going on, but she knew Slade might be in trouble. Beast Boy to was at a loss of words. It all happened so quick, he could hardly comprehend everything. They watched as Robin got back up, holding his head. He then go in a fighting stance aimed at Slade, and at that time, the woman knew she had to act. She left Beast Boy where he was since there was nothing he could do and ran towards the cell. Beast Boy watched her leave, amazed she would just leave him, but he didn't argue. He quickly looked up at the screens and found the girls. After he saw what cell they were in, he too ran down the pitch black hall in order to let them out. The woman got inside the cell and stood in front Slade, prepaired to defend him, not noticing Beast Boy, who had been right behind her, using the wall as his only leverage so he knew the right way. They didn't start fighting, but instead Slade continued to talk to the boys. Beast Boy ran as fast as he could down the straight hall, looking for another light that indicated the cell Raven and Starfire were in.
After a couple of minutes he could see it. Once he reached it, he looking inside and saw them. Raven still hovering in the air meditating and Starfire now sitting next to Raven. Beast Boy knocked hard on the door and Starfire jumped up, hands and eyes glowing green, while Raven stood back on the ground and looked outside. She couldn't tell for sure who it was, but the way the knocks sounded, she doubted it was Slade. Beast Boy looked at the keypad and since he didn't know the correct code, he simply punched it a few times until the lock broke and the door opened. With bloody knuckles he entered the room. Starfire ran up to him and hugged him hard, while Raven walked to him, looking at the collar and leech that still hung on him.
"Dear Beast Boy! You saved us!" Starfire said, still holding him as she did so.
"Great going Beast Boy..." Raven praised him as she covered his collar in her black energy and snapped it off. "What is going on? How did you get away?"
"Cyborg got Robin back to normal, and now they are facing off with Slade and the woman in Cyborg's cell. I snuck past the room and got down here to let you guys out. It's so dark out there!" Beast Boy talked fast, adrenalin was rushing through his body.
"Shall we not wait any longer to help or friends." Starfire said, lighting one of her hands and guiding the three of them down the hall with her green light.
As they reached the room, Starfire turned off her light so as to not draw attention to them. They were still in there, just talking. Nothing had happened in the time that Beast Boy had gone by. Knowing Slade, he was probably trying to talk them to death before any punches had to be pulled. Raven walked slowly to the entrance of the room, and since Slade and the woman had their backs to the door, they couldn't see her come out from the darkness. Cyborg noticed her, but he didn't show it, and Robin was still staring dead at Slade, to caught up to notice Raven's appearance.
"I don't want to hurt to Robin. We can still work together." Slade continued to talk on, failing to see the black energy begin to wrap around his and the woman's body.
"Sorry Slade..." Robin started, now seeing Raven's attack that was being made. "But we have other plans."
At that moment Slade and the woman were sent crashing to the wall, giving Cyborg and Robin a clear path out. After they got out, Raven stayed behind so as to keep her victim trapped while the rest of the team escaped. Once a few seconds had elapsed, she let go of her hold on them and soared up and phased through the ceiling. Slade was speechless, everything had moved so fast. His whole plan had just been shot in a matter of seconds, and when he found out it was because the woman left Beast Boy alone, he would show her how to never forget her job ever again.
The group ran out of Slade's lair, not wanting to fight when some of them were weak. They needed to rest for a day or two before they attempted to bring Slade down for good. Beast Boy was already having a hard time running, his heart was pounding, threatening to explode if he didn't stop soon.
"Guys, I can't run anymore..." Beast Boy huffed, feeling like he was an asthmatic having an attack. "I can hardly breathe."
"We should be far enough. We can walk the rest of the way from here, give Beast Boy time to catch his breath." Robin decided for the group, just as Raven landed next to them from out of the air.
"Beast Boy..." Cyborg almost whispered as he look at the green teen who was hunched over with his hands on his knees. "I'll give you a piggyback ride to the tower."
"Cy... You don't have to." Beast Boy answered, almost shocked at the man's request. "I don't wanna..."
"No, I insist." Cyborg cut Beast Boy off, kneeling down as he said so. "Get on, it's cool."
"Ok." Beast Boy submitted happily. He stepped on Cyborg's hands which were behind him so Beast Boy would have a step up on to his back. "I don't think I can walk another step. Sorry about this."
"No, you just rest. Let me take it from here." Cyborg reassured the younger Titan.
The rest of the team watched as the two conversed. It was sweet, seeing Cyborg take care of Beast Boy. Starfire and Robin just dismissed it as a random act of kindness, but Raven knew it was a deed one lover did for the other. Beast Boy blushed as Cyborg carried him, he felt so weak. He felt safe though, and that was always a good trade off, strength for security. Beast Boy rested his head on the back of Cyborg's neck, his hair slightly tickling the skin on Cyborg that still remained there. As they went on, Beast Boy moved his arms from around Cyborg's neck to under Cyborg's arms, with his hands on Cyborg's metal chest. Even though his heart rate had slowed down at this point, it was still beating heavily. Beast Boy wasn't quite sure why, but he didn't really think too much on it either. Right know, the only thing he cared to think about was the fact he was back with his friends and Cyborg.
When the team got back to the tower, it was a good few hours into the night. None of them were really sure how long they had been away, but it had felt like an eternity, especially for Beast Boy. Once inside, Raven said good night right away and headed to her room. Robin when to the computer in the main room and typed random things in like normal. Starfire watched as Cyborg let Beast Boy off of his back and on to the couch. She sat next to Beast Boy, who was already sitting next to Cyborg, who had plopped down next to him. Starfire hugged Beast Boy like she did earlier, still happy he had saved them from the cell and that he was back safely. Starfire heard Robin stop typing and then walk over to the exit, and as the doors opened for him to leave, she shot up and flew out with him, leaving Beast Boy and Cyborg alone.
Cyborg wrapped his arm around Beast Boy's shoulders and pulled him closer. Beast Boy then rested his head on Cyborg's shoulder, cupping one of his hands in Cyborg's hand that wasn't around the green teen's body. There was silence between them for what seemed like hours, but then Beast Boy began to mumble, like he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how.
"I'm sorry for getting... you know... kidnaped and all." Beast Boy started. "I'm just so sorry."
"Sue me for being a corn ball, but I'm sorry for not being there to save you." Cyborg said in a rather serious tone. "I know what happened, B..." Cyborg said, not wanting to have to talk about what needed to be talked about.
"I cried, you know, when Slade did it." Beast Boy began to say stoically. "I didn't cry because it hurt, or because I was scared, but I cried because I was cheating on you. I was so drugged up I couldn't hardly move. That red light in the corner... He taped it didn't he? That's how you know..."
"Yeah, he sent us a tape." Cyborg sighed, cupping the side of Beast Boy's head with his large hand. "Don't worry though, only Raven and I saw it. They still know though."
"Phew..." Beast Boy breathed out, relieved his leader hadn't seen it. "Is it going to be weird around here for awhile now that it has happened?"
"It may, I won't lie, but I'll be with you one hundred and fifty percent. We'll get through it together." Cyborg told him.
Beast Boy sat up and stared in to Cyborg's eye, both of their eyes filled with the deepest passion for each other. Lightly, Cyborg brought his thumb up to Beast Boy's lips and brushed them, then moved his hand to embrace the side of the boy's face. Cyborg pulled his into an intense kiss that would forever be stronger than words. With this kiss, Beast Boy knew he had someone who'd never look down on him and would love him for who he was, even if he was green. For Cyborg, he knew someone truly loved him with all of their heart. He knew that he would have someone to hold whenever he wanted. They both knew they were in love and nothing would come between them, even if they get separated, they'd find their ways back to each other. They knew that once they broke the kiss and continued to stare in to each other's eyes, they could kiss again and feel the same warmth and protection they felt before. They were in love, pure and simple.
End of chapter 8. How was it? I was afraid to use the whole, 'Beast Boy gets raped' thing since that is in a lot of stories already, but it fit in my story so I had to bite my tongue. This is not the end, it sounded like it was the end of the story, but no worries, it is still a work in progress.
You all can look forward to a love scene at the beginning of the next chapter. I think I was pushing the envelope on the T rating for this story in this chapter, but I think it is still T, no bad words were in it, and it wasn't AS detailed as it could be. Whatever, hope you all enjoyed it and please, review to brighten up my day!
Review!
