Chapter 13

-Phase 2-

It has been 2 weeks since Robin was accepted back into the team through Cyborg. He has slowly been gaining trust of other titans through battles. When they are not out on missions, he barely showed his face around the tower as he spent most of his time either in his room or out of the tower. His activities were getting slightly suspicious to other titans, but they ignored it, since they still hadn't forgiven him and didn't want nothing to do with him outside missions.

His reasons for avoiding others for most of the time was because he didn't want to get close to others again and start having second thoughts on his mission. This would put everything to waste, what he had worked for 2 years. He intended to keep his promise and finish off his mission.

Robin has been waiting for a while for Cyborg to contact Beast boy, so he could have a conversation with him and so he could find out where he was hiding. Cyborg had promised to speak with Beast boy and then tell Robin wether Beast boy is ready to see him or not. Robin eventually lost his patience. It has been 2 weeks and he hasn't told him anything about Beast boy, so he decided to go to Cyborg and find it out himself wether Beast boy wants to speak to him.

He left his room and walked down the hallway towards the door that separated Cyborgs room from the hallway. He walked up to the door and nocked four times. He heard couple of mumbling sounds, before a sound of a hiss. A door slid opened and on the other side was a grumpy Cyborg.

CYBORG: "Can I help you"

ROBIN: "Have you spoke to Beast boy yet"

CYBORG: "Yes I have and he's not ready to face you yet"

ROBIN: "Oh ok"

CYBORG: "Don't worry, give him some time. He will eventually come around"

Robin sighed frustratedly and nodded. He turned around and headed back into his own room and lied down on to his bed. He lied there for couple of minutes before He pulled out his other communicator and contacted Slade to inform him about his discovery.

SLADE: "I've been expecting you. What have you heard?"

ROBIN: "We need to proceed with phase 2. Beast boy doesn't want to speak to me."

Slade furrowed his eyebrows underneath his mask and said "Ok return to the hideout immediately"

With that said Robin closed his communicator and left the tower. He told others that he had some work to do in the library and didn't want to be distracted, unless there was trouble. He went to the secret hideout, which was couple of miles away from the city. He made sure that no one was following him and entered the hideout. He headed down to the control room where Slade spent most of his time hiding.

ROBIN: "Slade" he called out.

SLADE: "Down here apprentice"

Robin turned around and found him standing by the metal table, which had some usual equipment there like electric explosives and energy draining explosives. The only difference now was that there was 5 syringes filled with green liquid on the table. Robin walked up to him and asked. "So how am I going to do this"

SLADE: "You are going to have to pick one of the titans. If you ask me I would suggest Cyborg since he knows most about Beast boy."

ROBIN: "Fine I'll pick Cyborg"

SLADE: "Good now you are going to have to separate him from the rest of the group. Once you have separated Cyborg from the others, you will have to make sure he is not looking at you while you strike him with a syringe because otherwise he will remember you striking him" Slade gave Robin 5 syringes filled with green liquid, which he accepted and put them into his utility belt. "Make sure that you will inject the serum into his jugular vein, since it would not perform as efficiently if you missed the target". "Once you have successfully injected Cyborg with the serum, you will have to perform couple of more things. Once the serum starts to work, his human side may get paralized, but since he's a half machine, it wouldn't affect his limbs fully and he could fight back. So you have to open the panel behind his back and shut his limbs down. When that's done you can start questioning him. Remember 15 minutes after the injection, he will lose consciousness. After that you will have to get your laptop and connect it with his hard drive, so you could remove his most recent memory file. Once removed he wouldn't be able to find out what happened to him during the procedure"

What Slade didn't tell Robin was that he should disable the cameras in the main room, but he didn't for his own reasons. He had a much bigger plan for Robin later on in the future.

ROBIN: "Why have you given me 5 of these syringes" he wondered.

SLADE: "They are spare syringes. You never know when you might need them"

Robin accepted the answer and continued on with questioning Slades plan. "How am I supposed to separate Cyborg from the other titans. When they don't even acknowledge my existence"

SLADE: "I will send a small army of robots to attack the city. When the alarm goes off in your tower, you will ask for Cyborg to stay behind as you have something important to tell him."

ROBIN: "What if they all stay behind to hear what I have to say"

SLADE: "Robin use your brain, I've given you all of the tools you need to complete your mission"

Robin then realised, why Slade had given him 5 syringes. Those were for backup plan. Once he was satisfied with Slades plan, Robin left the hideout and and headed back to the tower, where he could prepare for the most critical part of the mission. Even if slightest thing went wrong, he knew that the mission would most likely be over. Slade and Robin had agreed on Robin sending Slade a signal through the communicator Once he was ready for the next step.

-Later that afternoon-

Robin and the other titans were relaxing in the main room, watching scary movie 2. Robin has been quite nervous since he came back to the tower. That didn't go unnoticed by Raven. Robin may be good at hiding it from the other titans, but his emotions betrayed him and Raven managed to pick it up. She decided to confront him later on in the evening. She didn't understand her premonitions and how was Robin involved with it.

Robin sent Slade the signal just before the movie began. He was waiting for alarms to go off in the tower, so he could proceed with phase 2.

It was not long when the tower was filled with flashing red lights. Cyborg hopped of the couch and checked the computers.

ROBIN: 'Here we go' he thought

"Slade again" growled Cyborg in frustration. He felt like he was becoming the next Robin, who was obsessed in bringing down Slade. He turned around "Teen titans go" he exclaimed his usual battle cry. As they were about to leave, Robin asked if Cyborg could stay behind so he speak to him privately. Others stared in confusion, before they nodded and decided to go ahead. They told Cyborg that they could handle a small army of Slade bots. Cyborg agreed and let them go.

When 2 of the titans left the tower to take care of Slades robot army, Robin and Cyborg headed towards the kitchen. Robin made sure that he was following closely behind Cyborg. 'There's no turning back, for what I am about to do' thought Robin. He pulled out a syringe and sneaked up behind Cyborg. As Cyborg was about to turn around, Robin injected Cyborg with the serum. This was a nerve racking moment for Robin as he was not certain wether he had succeeded or not. He decided to continue on while he still had a chance. He jumped on top of Cyborgs back and opened the panel. He temporarily disabled all of Cyborgs limbs and jumped off him.

Cyborg was too shocked at first to even do something when Robin injected him. He fell

on to his back, when his limbs were disabled.

"Hey what's this all about" Demanded Cyborg angrily.

ROBIN: "Shut up Cyborg and answer all of the questions if you don't want me to hurt you" he growled venomously, which surprised him. He didn't know that he could go from being friendly to possibly even more evil than Slade in less than few seconds. "Where is Beast boy" he demanded.

Cyborg was shocked about his quick attitude change. He didn't know who Robin was. The serum had slowly started to work it's magic. Cyborg attempted to lie to him, but he realised that he couldn't anymore, so he attempted to change the subject "Why do you want to know" his smart mouth earned him a smack with a bo staff from Robin.

Robin hated doing this, but he realised that it was the only way to make Cyborg talk.

ROBIN: "Shut up and answer the damn question or do I have to take you apart piece by piece to find out"

Shiver ran down Cyborgs spine. He was unable to protect himself from Robin. As he was trying to change the subject, he accidentaly blurted out. "Beast boy is in new zealand now" Cyborgs eyes widened at his confession. He realised that it must have been a truth serum, what Robin used on him.

Robin raised an eyebrow. 'What's he doing in new zealand' he thought. "Tell me everything that you know about him so far"

Cyborg sighed and wished that Starfire and Raven were here to help him out. He then started to confess on how Beast boy found his way to New Zealand and and how he met up with Argent and set up their own team. He knew that he couldn't fight the serum no more.

Robin was listening and recording every single detail of his speech, so later on he and Slade could plan on their final phase of the mission. As Cyborg finished telling Robin everything that he knew about Beast boy, he felt dizzy and eventually lost consciousness.

Robin stood up and got to work. He went to his room and brought a laptop in to the kitchen. He connected it with Cyborgs hard drive and accessed his recent memory files. There were thousands of files there, so he had to scan through every single one of them. He groaned in frustration. 'This will take forever' he mentally whined. He started to scan though all of the memory files. After half an hour of surfing in his memory files, He eventually found the file that he was looking for. He highlighted the file and deleted it. He then replaced that memory file with a fake one, which Slade had created for him. When he was finished with it, he quickly disconnected his laptop from Cyborgs hard drive before the girl titans returned and found out about this. Once he put his laptop back into his room, he went back to the kitchen and brought Cyborg back to his room and set him on the table to charge. After that he grabbed the camera and left the tower for the night.

A/N it's not the best chapter that i've written, but at least I tried. This is kinda filler-ish chapter, setting up for Robin to meet Beast boy. I hope you like it.

In the next chapter Robin and Beast boy will briefly speak to each other first time in years. What will happened between them as the day draws nearer where Robin and Beast boy will meet. It is just a matter of time. Will Ravens premonition come true.

Expect a new chapter soon.

As usual Reviews would be appreciated. :)
