Sorry about not updating. Every time I try to write more I either have to update one of my other stories or have something else to do. By the way I'm currently working on a new story and I should be able to post it soon.
Chapter 15
Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy watched a confused Cyborg as he stared at the computer screen completely shocked and with some fear in his eyes. After a moment of silence Raven decided to speak up.
"Cyborg what's wrong?" she asked.
He turned to face his friends still having a shocked look on his face. The other three Titans stared back at him expecting an explanation. Starfire had a concerned look on her face and she had her hands together in a begging position.
"Please Cyborg, tell us what is wrong with our friend Robin".
Cyborg's expression changed from shocked to worried as he told the others.
"It's worse than I thought. Falling in that vat of toxic waste may of given him powers but there are serious side-effects".
Raven, Star, and BB looked concerned as Cyborg continued to explain.
"The toxic his body is going to keep increasing and increasing until his genetic code can't take it anymore and it will burn out".
Starfire and Raven gasped in shock but Beast Boy looked confused. "Dude can you speak in simpler English so I can understand!".
Cyborg sighed and said. "He's going to get more and more powerful until his body can't take it anymore and he's die".
After hearing this BB also looked shocked. "Dude! Does he know this?".
Cyborg shook his head. "No he doesn't and worst of all these chemicals are messing with his mind so the more powerful he gets the more he won't have control of his mind".
"So that's why he was acting so strangely and why he attacked Starfire," said Beast Boy.
"It also explains why I sensed had that something was wrong with him. He was having moment where he couldn't control his mind," said Raven.
Starfire's eyes started to tear up and she turned to Cyborg. "Please Cyborg, how do we save our friend?".
Cy hung his head sadly. "I don't know".
Raven and Star were stunned at this but Beast Boy became angry. "Dude there has to be a way! You're Cyborg, you can fix anything!" he shouted.
Cyborg looked back at the flashing warnings on the computer screen. "I guess I can try to find a way to get the toxic chemical out of him," said Cyborg.
Starfire looked hopeful at this. "Yes please Cyborg, find a way to save Robin".
"Is there anyway we can help?" Raven asked him.
"Well I'm going to stay here and try and find a cure. You three can try and bring Robin to me. It would be helpful if I had him to help find an antidote," said Cyborg.
"Okay friend, we shall bring you Robin to help you find the cure," said Starfire.
"How much time do we have until the chemicals burn out?" Raven asked.
"I don't know but the computer will be able to show an estimate from the DNA sample," Cyborg replied.
He then turned back to the computer and typed away on the keyboard. A pop-up appeared on the screen showing the estimated time down to the last second. The Titans gasped as the continually decreasing time showed that they had slightly less than six hours until the toxic would kill Robin.
Everyone except Cyborg who stayed behind to find a cure quickly ran out of the room in search of their leader. As they left Cyborg shouted after them. "Careful he's very unstable and possibly has no control of what he's doing!".
Raven, Beast Boy, and Starfire found Robin in the main operations room. He was standing by the tower's huge window with a view of the city. It was early nightfall and the sky as starting to get very dark.
Robin was clutching his skull and moaning in pain when they saw him. "Robin!" Starfire called to him as the three of them ran over to him. Robin turned to them and his eyes were glowing green. He glared at them and shot red electricity from his finger tips at the advancing Titans. Unable to dodge it they got shocked and yelled out as they fell to the ground.
Robin then took off into the air and flew right through the glass of the window causing a big hole and the shattered glass to fly everywhere. He took off through the night sky and out of sight. BB, Star, ad Rae slowly got up and walked over to the hole in the window as they saw Robin disappear in the distance.
Oh no! Another cliffy! Mwhahahaha!
