"Raven!" cried Robin, falling down to her body. A single tear slid down his face and came to rest on Raven's pearl white cheek. He gazed down at her face, feeling hopeless, knowing there was no chance she survived the explosion. He took of his cape and layed it to rest over her body. He then stood up, faced Cyborg and spat:
"MURDERER! YOU KILLED RAVEN, I'LL KILL-"
"-Robin wait, look!" exclaimed Starfire. Cyborg's circuitry was blinking, black, then blue, black then blue. Then it too came to a rest, and they watched as he sunk to his knees, tears rolling out of his one human eye, and began to wail.
"I ….. Killed ….. Ra-Raven… It….. virus….mi-micro-chip…. CONTROLLED ME!" he bellowed!
Ignoring Cyborg's stuttered pleas, Robin rose to his feet, his face black with anger and pulled out his bow staff.
WHACK ! He knocked Cyborg of his knees and onto the floor!
WHACK ! A second time he smashed Cyborg around the face with his staff.
Then without a word, he lifted his staff above Cyborg's head, ready for the fatal blow.
"ROBIN WAIT!" Starfire yelled, "you can't kill him – you just can't" Tears now rolled down her face. "You can't kill him, let him speak-"
"NO" interrupted Robin "He killed Raven, you saw him, he killed, he killed …"
"I killed" Cyborg muttered " But it wasn't my choice, last night when my batteries were recharging, someone snuck in and downloaded a virus into me-"
"LIAR" Robin screamed again, "Tell the truth, tell the –" but Beast boy, who had sat silently at Ravens side had had enough. Pouncing on Robin in the shape of a tiger he growled:
"Leave him alone, let him speak, you just as bad as him-"
"I'd never kill, let alone my friends" Robin replied coldly, "Fine, let him speak, no-good it will do you though" pushing Beast boy roughly aside.
"It was the microchip" Cyborg continued "It had a duel purpose, it was the transmitter which controlled me, controlled the virus, when the person who did this saw Raven get close they decided to ………." He put a hand to his face and wiped his tears from his eye.
"So when it blew up, it stopped the virus transmitting allowing me to take control again, but by then it was too late!"
"So if this is all true" Starfire continued "Who controlled Cyborg, and why did he choose to kill Raven, instead of both Robin and Cyborg when they were both in the Hanger, and why is the Sun rising at 2:00 in the morning?"
"I don't know, but I resign as leader of the Teen Titans. We're no longer a team, I don't trust any of you, I'm going to find out who did this, and then I'll avenge Raven for her." And before any of the others could speak, he aimed his grappling hook into the sky, and pulled himself away, into the unknown horizon.
