Titan Wars V: The Brotherhood Strikes Back

Ch. 6: Minus one member

Robin and Starfire were in the room Jinx let them stay in. Robin was walking around, while Star sat and watched him.

"It's not like Cyborg to stay out this long," said Robin.

"I believe you are worrying too much," assured Star.

Elsewhere

In the junk heap near the incinerator, Kid Flash decided to slow down and look hard for Cyborg. When he came to this room he saw a familiar looking hand sticking out of the mess. It was flowed by a leg, some other parts, and then finally the head of poor Cy. Kid Flash raced around to gather up all the pieces and rushed back to their room to show Rob and Star. Needless to say, Star and Robin were shocked.

"What has become of our friend?" asked Star.

"Looks like someone took him apart," Robin said, "But why I don't know."

"I bet Jinx could get someone to help," said Kid Flash.

"We can handle it," replied Robin, "I'm not sure if I trust Jinx after all this time."

"What? She's not about to betray us. You worry too much, Robbie."

Robin narrowed his eyes at Kid Flash for saying that when Jinx came in.

"Hey, guys. Care to join me for lunch?" she asked.

"I thought you'd never ask, babe," replied Kid Flash.

Jinx smiled at him, but then saw the state Cyborg was in.

"What happened to him?"

"Went to pieces," joked Kid Flash.

"Not funny," said Rob.

"We'll fix him as soon as possible," said Jinx, "But now we can eat."

"Cyborg loved eating," said Star.

"We'll save him something," replied Kid Flash as they went out the door.

Jinx led them to the dining room while they chatted along the way.

"We finished any touch up repairs on the T-Ship," said Jinx.

"That's great," replied Robin, "So the Brotherhood's never found this place?"

"Nope, we're small and secluded enough to go unnoticed."

"Aren't you worried they'll ever find your base?"

"Up 'til now it loomed like a shadow over us, but to insure security I just made a deal that'll keep the Brotherhood empire out for good."

As she spoke this they arrived outside the room. Jinx opened the door and they were greeted by an unfortunately familiar face sitting on the far end of the table.

"Terra!" they all exclaimed, except for Jinx.

"Hello, my former teammates," Terra replied as she stood, "It would be so nice if you'd join us. Don't be shy."

Adonis came in from around the corner with a cocky grin on his face. From behind the Titans, a large group of Slade-bots covered them with their blasters.

Jinx then slapped power inhibitors on Star and Kid Flash.

"They got here just before you," Jinx said, "I didn't have a choice. I'm sorry."

"So are we," replied Robin as they went inside.

Later

Robin was being beaten up by a pair of Slade-bots as Terra looked on. She left the room and went up to Adonis.

"As per agreed, you can take Robin to the Brain when we're done and I have Raven."

"He's no good if he's dead," complained Adonis.

"He won't be permanently damaged," Terra replied with a smirk.

"Terra," Jinx interjected, "What about the others?"

"They can't leave here until I say so."

"That wasn't part of the agreement and neither was giving Robin to this jerk."

"Aw, do you think you're being treated unfairly? Because if so, Slade will still take you as part of his collection."

Jinx shook her head and held in her anger, "No."

"Oh, good," replied Terra as she walked off.

"This stupid deal keeps getting worse," muttered Jinx.

BB and Rae

The trio had reached the temple some time ago. Chui-Hui was talking to Beast Boy about something while Raven was meditating. Just then she received some sort of vision.

It was of the other Titans in pain. She concentrated and saw that it was windy where they were. Jinx was there too. Then she saw something she wished she hadn't.

It was Terra with Adonis and a dozen or so Slade-bots.

"No!" she cried as she snapped up.

"Rae, what's wrong?" asked BB.

"I just had a vision or something. It was of the others. They're in trouble. Terra's there, wherever there is."

"What'd it look like?"

"There were a lot of buildings and it was windy out."

"That's kinda vague, Rae. Let's try Chicago."

"Why?"

"Why not?"

"Fine, let's go."

"Be careful, young warriors," the True Master spoke at last, "Trust in your friends no matter what happens."

They nodded, hopped into the ship, and took off.

Even later

Kid Flash was trying to put Cyborg back together. He got his head and arms on and was working on the legs. He even managed to revive Cy.

"Whoa, that was terrible. Hey, where are my legs?"

"I'm workin' on 'em, tin man."

"What do you know ya little –"

Then Robin was tossed inside the cell. Soon afterwards Star was thrown in as well.

"What do they want?" asked Star.

"They didn't ask me anything," replied Robin.

Jinx then came in with a pair of soldiers from her base.

"Get out, Jinx," demanded Robin.

"Shut up and listen. Terra's leaving Star, Cy, and Kid Flash with me. Robin, you're being given to Adonis as bounty."

"She does not want us all?" asked Star.

"First she wants Raven and maybe Beast Boy. She set a trap and they're on the way."

"With us as bait," Robin shot back.

"Sorry, but I've done all I can."

Then she left them there.

Later (should have seen that coming)

"This cryogenic freezer from the ship should do the trick to deliver Beast Boy and Raven to Slade," stated Terra.

"What if it doesn't work?" questioned Adonis.

"Well, we have to test in then, on Robin."

The Titans were dragged into the room. Cyborg was in a box.

"You could've attached my legs ya know," he griped at Kid Flash.

"Don't worry, team," Robin said, "Our time will come. Cy, Kid Flash, look after Star."

Starfire tried to hold back her tears as she kissed Robin one last time. Robin was dragged under thee beam of the freeze ray.

"I love you," called Star.

"I know," Robin replied.

Then he was an ice statue. Kid Flash held Star as she looked away.

"He's alive," assured Jinx.

"Good," replied Terra, "Go ahead and take him, Adonis. Reset the machine for Beast Boy and Raven for when they arrive. And as for you, Jinx, take those three to my ship."

"The other two are here," reported See-More.

"Make sure they come in here," replied Terra.

"Wait a minute, you said you were leaving the other Titans here," said Jinx

"So I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it further," she hissed as she stormed away.
