'She is so cute.' Cyborg thought, looking over at Raven's sleeping form. He couldn't help remember the first time he saw her. He, Rob, and BB had been fighting Starfire. They were getting their buts kicked. Raven had showed up and asked them "what if she doesn't want to fight?"then when they seen her powers for the first time? Raven stole his heart when she said that she didn't belong. Cyborg told her the truth. Told her that she belonged with them. What he didn't say was that he needed her there. 'she has changed so much since that day. She has so much more confidence in herself.
Cyborg glanced at the clock in the dashboard. 1:32AM. 'Should stop at the next hotel.' he thought.
After a few miles he pulled into a travel lodge.
"Hi. Um i need two rooms just for the night." he told the pimply faced teenager in front of him.
"Oh. Sorry but we only have one room left. It has a king sized bed?" the teen told him.
"oh that's just great." Cy mumbled.
"hey your that teen titan arent you?" the boy asked. He smiled when cyborg nodded. "Are you travelling with another of the Titans? Which one? Is it Robin? He is so cool. No wait it should be Starfire. She is hott. But then there is Beastboy and he seems fun. Not that you aren't cool and fun. You are awesome Cyborg. Can i get your autograph? And the other titan's too. \come on please tell me which one it is!" The boy was practically jumping up and down.
"I am travelling with Raven." Cyborg said. He was not happy that the boy hadn't mentioned her earlier. He got even madder when he noticed that the boy was disappointed.
"But shes creepy."
"SHE IS NOT CREEPY!" Cyborg said gritting his teeth.
"Ya so do ya want the room?" The teen asked.
"Ya. It's better than nothing." Cy said filing out the papers the kid handed him.
When Cyborg made it back to the T-car Raven was still sleeping. Not wanting to wake the empath he parked as close to the building as possible. After quickly running the bags up to the room,Cy gently reached over and undid Raven seat belt. As gently as he could he put one are around her shoulders, and supporting her neck. The other arm snaked its way under her knees. He lifted her careful not to hit her head on the car.
When he was walking threw the lobby to get to the elevator the teenager said, `you know she is kinda beautiful."
"Ya she sure is." Cy replied looking at the small girl's face.
When he reached the room her quickly got the door open and walked over to the bed. He moved the covers away and gently laid raven down. He undid the clasp holding her cloak and tossed it on the dresser. Next he removed her boots. Then he undid the small ties that held her belt onto her tiny frame. He then pulled the covers up to about her waist. He heard a beeping coming from his arm. 10% battery left. Time to recharge. About an hour later cyborg walked over to the chair in the room. He sunk into it and tried to get comfy. He was too large. He turned this way and that but he could still not get comfy. He put his legs up on the arm rest and sat sideways. Still to big. "im gonna have to sleep on the floor." Cy thought to himself. He pulled his leg down but wound up rolling over the edge of the chair falling face first into the carpet. The sound of quiet laughter filled the room. Cyborg looked at the bed. "Sorry did i wake you Rae?"
"No it is okay. If you haven't realized this is a king sized bed. I take up less than a quarter of the space. Why don't you just sleep here?" She asked quietly.
Cyborg stepped forward trying to hear her. "NO i really cant." he said shaking his head. He wanted to. He REALLY wanted to. But he knew if Robin ever found out. Cyborg was right beside the bed. Raven was now in a sitting position. She reached out and grabbed his large forearm. She pulled with all of her might. When cyborg began to fall she ducked and moved closer to the edge slightly afraid that he would crush her.
"See the bed is very large." Raven said looking over at him.
"are you sure?"
"Yes i am sure. But we have to drive a lot tomorrow. Well technically today but anyways we really should get some sleep and you wouldn't have gotten any sleeping in that chair or on the floor."
"Thanks Rae."
She just smiled. After a few moments her breathing turned slow and steady indicating that she was asleep once again. Cy watched her sleep until sleep over came him as well.
