After Red-X had vanished, and lord how Robin was going to chew their ear off for this later, Cyborg focused on his two friends. Starfire was trying to get Robin to settle down long enough to double check him for injuries. Raven had Beast Boy next to her wrapped up in her cloak. The empath was brushing his hair away from his face and looking at Cyborg with the same leveled look.
"Ok, people, now let's get to the Tower," Cyborg said as he dove to make sure Robin didn't face plant into the pavement. He walked alongside his buddy.
"You doing ok?" Cyborg asked. Beast Boy looked up, and nodded, before moving closer to Raven. Cyborg smiled sadly. His best friend didn't remember him but at least he felt comfortable with Raven. Cyborg knew the girl would let the earth burn before losing him again.
They had been so lucky today that nothing serious had happened.
"How are we getting back to the tower?" Starfire asked. She had picked Robin up; the boy was shivering in her arms, rubbing his nose with his hand.
"We made a quick mode of transporting us, but I don't feel safe enough having the boys on it," Raven said. Beast Boy coughed and without a second thought Cyborg picked him up.
The changeling froze for a moment before peeking at the android from behind his hair.
"What are you doing?" He asked. Cyborg smiled and adjusted the cape around his friend.
"I'm making sure you're ok," Cyborg said. Beast Boy slowly rested his head against Cyborg's shoulder.
"That man was nice," Beast Boy said finally. Cyborg looked down.
"Red-X?" Cyborg prompted. Beast Boy nodded as he shifted to get more comfortable.
"Ya, he was nice," Beast Boy repeated. Starfire gave a small smile over her shoulder as Raven glared at the hastily put together motorized wagon.
Cyborg had placed an old engine on a metal platform with wheels and wired it to run; it may have worked for the android, but there was no way Raven was letting Beast Boy or Robin on that thing.
"I think we could teleport back," Raven said finally. Cyborg raised an eyebrow.
"Really? Cus last time you yelled at me for suggesting that," Cyborg retorted. Raven stepped forward and reached for Beast Boy.
Cyborg was reluctant to give him up but Raven was persistent and soon Beast Boy was comfortably in her arms. Cyborg resisted the urge to pout.
"That was when we didn't know where they were; now we do," Raven argued. "Just give me a few moments and we can go."
Raven sat down on the ground and got in her usual lotus position. Beast Boy tried to leave, but Raven rubbed his back before pulling him back to her chest. The boy in her arms gave up struggling and began to play with the edges of her cloak.
Cyborg offered a smile to his best friend before walking over to where Starfire was standing with Robin. The boy wonder grinned at him.
"We jumped out of a window!" Robin said with a large smile. Cyborg laughed.
"No kidding? Guess you must be like one of those superheroes now," The teen commented. Robin nodded and then sneezed. Cyborg frowned.
"You kids are going to get sick," Cyborg said and looked at Starfire. The girl was keeping a tight hold on her boyfriend, and Robin seemed happy enough to be in the redhead's arms. He seemed endlessly amused with playing with her hair.
"Should we get Beast Boy?" Starfire wondered aloud as she looked over at Raven. The changeling was slowly trying to reach the ground but Raven wasn't letting him go anywhere. Cyborg rubbed her shoulder.
"I'll get him," Cyborg said and walked back over to the empath.
"Come here, bud," Cyborg murmured as he stretched out his arms. Beast Boy easily went into them. Raven opened an eye.
"He's fine, Raven," Cyborg told her and the girl went back to mediating.
"Is she mad?" Beast Boy asked. Cyborg brushed back his hair.
"No, she was just really worried about you two, it's normal for her to want you close," Cyborg told him. The changeling nodded and lay against his chest.
Starfire and Cyborg tried to wait patiently for Raven, and after another ten minutes they were rewarded for their patience.
"Ok, let's go home," Raven said. Raven checked over Robin and gave him a small smile, which he widely returned, and plucked Beast Boy back from Cyborg. The robot frowned.
"This is going to become a regular thing, isn't it?" Cyborg said. Raven rolled her eyes.
"Not if you didn't keep taking him," Raven said. She looked down and the boy in her arms and then at Robin.
"Are you two ready to go home?" The empath asked them finally. Both boys, and Raven's two remaining normal teammates, nodded. With a cloud of black magic, they were gone.
The first thing Starfire did when they got home was find warm, dry clothes for her friends. She ended up going through the basement; there were several shirts the boys could use until they found them something more suitable. In the meantime, a pair of Monty Python shirts would have to do.
As she came up to the common room, she heard a crash in the kitchen. Flying the rest of the way, Starfire burst through the doors, thinking someone had come back to take their boys again. When she entered the room, ready for a fight, she found nothing of the sort.
A plate was shattered on the floor and Robin was currently being held by Cyborg. The boy was trying with all his might to get down.
"Let me go!" Robin shrieked. Starfire flew over, and took Robin. Raven was currently in front of Beast Boy, who was shaking.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry," Beast Boy said. Raven was gently trying to pull him close, but the changeling was having none of it. Raven tried again.
"Sh, it's ok Beast Boy," Raven said as she tried to get closer. "It was just a plate."
The boy danced away again and didn't look sorry as Raven looked at him in disbelief.
"Why do you keep calling me that?" Beast Boy said. Raven frowned.
"What do you mean?" Raven wondered. Then it hit her. Eyes widening in realization, the empath sat in a lotus position and brushed her hair out of her face.
"My name is Gar," Beast Boy said softly. Raven swallowed heavily.
"Come here," Raven said gently and held out her arms. She waited patiently for him to come to her and when Beast Boy finally did she held him close. For a moment, Starfire was certain she would start crying.
"I think all of us need to have a talk, ok?" Raven said softly. Cyborg began to protest but Raven stopped him with a leveled look over Beast Boy's head.
"They need to know, Cyborg," Raven said. "For their sake and ours."
They had gotten the boys into warm clothes, a feat that seemed easy in theory. Robin had decided he wanted to do everything himself and Beast Boy seemed reluctant to have help. Now, the five of them were settled in on the couch. Raven, who still wasn't key on letting Beast Boy leave her sight for more than a few moments, was sitting on the end with him in her lap. Beast Boy was currently looking at the brooch on her cloak.
Robin was alternating between Starfire and Cyborg. He was exploring the room as much as he was allowed, since Cyborg was having visions of one of their smaller teammates harming themselves. Finally, Starfire sat the boy wonder down next to her. She looked at Robin, then at Beast Boy.
"We just want you two to listen first, ok?" Starfire explained. "Then we can help you understand what you don't understand." When the two boys had agreed, the girl continued.
"You two are like us; your titans. But today you were turned back into children," Starfire said. Robin leaned against Cyborg's metal leg. Raven rested her head on top of Beast Boy's head.
"The reason you two were kidnapped was likely due to the fact that you're heroes, you help protect the city, and most villains in the city would want to get their hands on you. We don't know if the spell that turned you back into kids will wear off, or if we need another spell to break it, but we will figure it out."
Cyborg crossed his arms over his chest.
"You two are going to stay here mostly; it'll be easier to keep you safe. Tomorrow, we're going to start finding out what we need to do to get your guys back to normal. Until then, one of us is going to be with you." The android said. Robin sat up straight.
"Like a bodyguard!" Robin exclaimed. Cyborg cracked a smile.
"Ya, exactly like a bodyguard, Rob," Cyborg told him. Robin leaped over his lap to Beast Boy and grinned widely.
"We're just like superheroes!" Robin said. Beast Boy cracked a smiled.
"Just like them," He said in agreement.
The three of them decided to keep the boys close that night, choosing to pile lots of blankets and pillows in the common room. Starfire was currently in the kitchen, making hot chocolate for all of them, and was easily filtering questions coming from Robin. Beast Boy was finally out of Raven's protective grasp and was asking Cyborg questions at his own rate.
Eventually the two little boys began to wind down. Cyborg rubbed his hand up and down Beast Boy's back, enjoying the feeling of having his best friend safe in the tower.
"Getting tired, little guy?" Cyborg asked. Beast Boy nodded.
"Ya," Beast Boy responded and shifted to get more comfortable. Cyborg moved to brush his hair away and stopped when his heat sensors registered a spike in temperature.
"Sit up for me, B," Cyborg said. Beast Boy did, frowning a bit when Cyborg placed his thumb on his forehead.
Robin walked over and say down next to them. Seeing his friend was squirming, he reached over and patted his leg.
"What are you doing?" Robin questioned. A beep answered and Cyborg looked at the scanner numbers. He groaned.
"B's got a fever of 101 degrees," Cyborg reported to the girls. Instantly, Raven was there and felt her green teammate's forehead.
"He's warm, check Robin," Raven said. Doing so, Cyborg repeated the process, answering all of Robin's questions that came with it. Like Beast Boy, Robin also registered with a fever.
"Well, the two of you have a fever, so I think it's time for bed," Cyborg said. Robin frowned.
"I'm not tired," Robin pouted. Cyborg wondered if Robin had ever acted this way with Batman. Raven, however, seemed to be expecting this response.
"Perhaps not, but if you aren't tired I guess you won't be interested in building a fort," Raven said. Robin thought for a moment then nodded.
"Can we make the fort please," Robin asked nicely. Starfire laughed and leaned down to place a kiss to his head.
Shortly after, the common room had been transformed into a cave covered by comforters and furnished inside with dozens of pillows and sheets. Among them were all five of them, in various states of sleep.
The two little titans, however, were kept in the center of the group, sleeping soundly, not realizing that the three watching them dream would harm anyone who dared to take them away again.
