~Robin's POV~

"Has anyone seen Cyborg?" I called. Raven shook her head, and Starfire and Beast Boy were playing their racing games.

"Why, I have not. I do hope he is not hurt!" Starfire sighed.

"Yeah, Me two-" Beast Boy was cut off by a loud door slam. In came Cyborg holding an unidentified body in his arms.

"We have to find out what's wrong with her." He stated boldly. He ran off into the medical wards with Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy and I right behind him.

"What is up with Cy?" Beast Boy asked me, worried about the well being of his friend.

"I don't know… But we will find out soon." I grimaced.

~Cyborg's POV~

I ran inside and hurried to the med. ward. I was surprised, so many things I didn't notice in the dim city lights. Her hair was long and matted, like she never brushed it. Her clothes were ripped and stained with dark brown and red. I laid her down on the table, taking her hand in my metal ones. They were small and child like, but rough and scarred like a construction workers. If I didn't know better, she worked with tools a lot. Her finger nails were a bit jagged with different lengths, probably from being chewed on. Her feet were scratched and rough like her hands, probably from all the running she's done.

What shocked me the most washer ears. A faded tan plastic hook, curved around the shell of her ear, where an ancient looking ear piece was attached. She must have been alone for a long time because I haven't seen an earpiece like that before. She apparently was deaf in her left ear. There were burn marks around her ear and jaw like it malfunctioned a lot. It also looked like it had been toyed with. She was very interesting indeed.

I looked back at the monitors for the first time. The heart monitor was beeping like crazy and her blood pressure was very high. It was strange because her lungs, according to the monitor, were almost dormant. Suddenly, she spasmodically jerked forward, taking her hand back from my loose grip. She grabbed on to her chest with one hand and covered her mouth with the other. She coughed a hoarse, scratchy cough.

Robin grabbed her wrist and turned the palm towards us, catching us off guard as blood ran down the blue lines of her veins. She continued coughing against the back of her hand, blood trickling through her fingers. I rubbed her back slowly, trying to calm her, because even though her eyes were closed, I could sense the fear welling up in her.

Robin grabbed a chair and sat down at the computer looking up her symptoms, as Beast Boy, Starfire and Raven looked down in fear. Robin furiously clicked away at the keys, an audible gulp slithered down his throat.

"Were did you find her Cyborg?" He asked in a monotone voice.

"Outside, in an alley." I replied, not looking up from the struggling body.

"Was she out of breath?" He asked again.

"Yes." I said automatically.

"That's what I thought. Apparently, she has a rare disease."

"What kind of disease?" Beast Boy asked innocently.

"The symptoms state, that if she were to get too excited, scared, or run even the shortest distance, pretty much anything to make her lack oxygen, blood will fill her lungs, trying to replace the oxygen. If it's not removed she will practically drown in her own blood." Robin said a note of sadness in his voice.

"How do we stop it?" I asked, now determinedly patting her back.

"She has to cough up the blood herself." Robin sighed. Everyone looked down at her scrawny body, shaking and coughing for almost thirty minutes. Her coughing slowed and Starfire and Robin left to get some supplies and clothes for her.

"Cyborg?"

"Yeah?"

"Why did you bring her here and not to the hospital?" Raven asked.

"Yeah, Why Cy?" BB cocked his head to the side.

"I don't know… I just didn't think they would be able to help her."

"Where am I?" A small voice whispered. We looked down into the girl's confused eyes. Her eyes were a beautiful chocolate brown. There was a sharpness to them that amazed me. Her fingers traced the shell of her ear, probably a force of habit.

"You're in the Titan Tower!" Beast Boy told her before I could open my mouth.

"What's that?" She asked, rubbing her eyes on her arms, then rubbing her probably sore legs.

"We are heroes. We protect New York!" Beast Boy smiled.

"Are you ok?" I asked; bring my hand to her cheek. She flinched but quickly relaxed against my touch. I smiled as the fragile figure lay close. Raven left, followed by Beast Boy, waiting for the others to come back.

"What's your name?" She looked up into my eyes.

"Cyborg. You?" I asked, curious about her identity.

"Cameron." She smiled. I blushed, taking my hand back. I heard a giggling from outside the door.

"One sec." I looked away. She nodded as walked toward the door. Then I saw a scary sight. Starfire was showing everyone the clothes she got for Cameron. Yellow overall like dress decorated with pink frills was in Starfire's hands. Several bags with a plethora of store names hung from Robin's arms. I smacked my hand to my face in disbelief, wondering whose idea it was to put Starfire in charge of shopping.

I turned back into the room to see Cameron looking at me, her full but slightly bruised lips turned upward into a smile. Her sharp eyes sparkled with respect as she waited patiently for me to come back to her side. There was something about her that I've never seen before. It took people awhile to accept me as a hero, but it was like she could see through my metal shell and see the human inside.

~Cameron's POV~

It didn't take long for me to meet everyone! Starfire told me all about her planet and how fun this planet was. She flew around confusing me with her big exotic words and humored me with her funny dialect. Raven barely introduced herself before leaving the room. Beast Boy was very outgoing and funny, spending ten minutes or so amusing me by transforming into different animals. Robin informed me about my almost capture, Slade, before going to find out why he wanted me. Cyborg, on the other hand stayed with me for hours, checking the monitors until I could walk around on my own. We shared a love of mechanics, and he promised me that I could help him one day with one of his projects.

"Hello New Friend!" Starfire came in giving me a bone crushing hug.

"Let me give you a make-over! It will be sooooo fun! I've already bought new clothing for you!" She smiled. Then, without giving me a choice, she dragged me to her room. She turned on the shower and gave me some soap before leaving me alone. I undressed and stepped in feeling the water. Warmth. I haven't felt that in a long time. I washed the filth from my hair, being careful of my ears. I walked out feeling clean. I walked up to the mirror, examining myself in the mirror. I could probably be mistaken for an anorexic. My ribs stuck out and my sides were red from constantly falling. My hair felt nice, but still knotted. Soon Starfire burst in and dragged me to her vanity.

"Let me take care of those horrendous knots!" He cheered and she yanked at my hair. I held in my tears and shouts until she pulled through the very last knot.

"Let us get rid of those split ends!" She smiled before taking out hedge clippers sized scissors. I squeaked before Raven came in. She took away the 'Instrument of Death' as I call it, and trimmed my hair with norm scissors. She left it about five inches below my shoulders so it was long enough to keep in a ponytail but short enough not to get in the way. Starfire squealed the left.

"I'll be back New Friend! Just let me get you new clothes!" She smiled and flew away.

I sighed, "Thanks! I don't know what to say!"

"Than don't…" Raven said darkly. I sighed, running my hand through my silky new do.

"I'M BACK FRIENDS!" Starfire giggled, holding out what looked like a clown suit. I sighed before going to put it on. The dress was loose at the top, which was expected, but the neon green tights stuck to my legs like glue. Nothing really matched, not like I cared, but it was pretty tacky. I sat back down at the vanity, Starfire immediately attacking my face with various powders and lipsticks until my face matched my outfit. I giggled, taking a wash cloth and blotting most of the makeup off. I looked back in the mirror and didn't even recognize myself.

"You look great!" Cyborg chuckled while leaning against the door. I smiled, chuckling about how obviously ridiculous I look.

"Robin says you can stay until we find out why Slade is interested in you." He frowned, probably worried. I walked over smiling, putting my hand on his back reassuringly

"I'd like that! I'd like that very much!"

"Yeah… Me two!"
