Chapter 6

"First we'll need to get you your own suit," Bruce said as they traveled down in the elevator of Wayne Enterprise to the basement. The doors to the elevator opened and the two stepped out. The place looked like an old ware house, stacked with boxes of all shapes and size. "This is where I got all of my tech. Back then Lucius Fox, was my greatest provider of the latest material.. I wonder who took over."

As they turned the corner they came to a very brawny man sitting at a very small desk. On the desk was a computer, at which the man was working on. He was so engulfed in what he was working on he didn't even notice the two come up behind him. Bruce gave a little cough, to get the man's attention. He raised his head from the computer, but did not turn around.

"Can I help you?" the man said.

"I would like to see what kind of equipment we have down here," Wayne announced

"Everything down here is its prototype form. Not for sale."

"Oh, I'm sure they won't mind me having a look around."

"And who do you think you—," The man chuckled and started to say and turned around, but his words started to trailed off as he saw who his accompanied him.

"I'm Bruce Wayne, this is Raven Roth," Wayne said. Raven looked at the man, and he looked at her. He looked so familiar to her. But it couldn't be.. After all, the last time I saw him, two-thirds of his body was made of metal, Raven thought to herself.

"Cyborg?" Raven asked, almost in a whisper. The man looked down at the floor, and he had a solemn look on his face.

"So you two know each other," Bruce cut the awkward silence with his words. Cyborg shot up remembering he was in the presence of his boss. He nodded, held out a strong hand, and said, "Yes sir, ahh my name is Victor.. Victor Stone. What kind of equipment are you looking for," Vic questioned as he got up from the desk, averting Raven's eyes.

"We're looking for armor," as Bruce said this Victor turned and looked in confusion, so Bruce quickly added, "for mountaineering. You could never be too careful."

"Rigghht.." Victor said, "Well we have the new Adamantine Suit. Three times as strong as Kevlar, and ten times as lighter. It would feel like you were wearing nothing."

"That sounds great," Bruce exclaimed. They spent a couple hours looking over the cutting-edge technology that was out. When they were finished, Bruce took what they needed and left the two by their lonesome.

Victor sat back down at his desk, and Raven stood so she could face him. She had been quiet this whole time, trying to grasp what was happening, but instead encountering so many new questions.

"It's good to see ya Rae," Victor tried to say with a small smile. When she didn't say anything, he added, "We've all missed you—"

"Is that so?" Raven spat back to him.

"Yes, it is. You're our friend," Raven glared at him, "Granted what happened between us, it was messed up, and I'm extremely sorry for it. But we never stopped caring for you."

"Look Cyborg, you were like my brother. You were the only one of them that didn't completely give up on me, but how can you speak for people that treated me like dirt!" her voice started to rise, and she realized she was losing control so she settled down.

"What do you mean were, I still am your brother," Victor said, this time successfully completing a smile, "All I can say, is things were totally different when you left. Star was less cheerful, BB stopped cracking jokes, and Nightwing.. You were his worst failure. He was the worst of all. He became obsessed with finding you, but when he couldn't he became even more obsessed with his work."

"Cy, that stuff is in my past; a closed chapter; I've moved on, and I'm not going back," Raven explained.

"I'm not talking about going back Rae, no one wants to go back to any of that," he stood up and put a loving hand on his friend's shoulder, "I'm talking about moving forward from whatever may have happened, but doing it together." Raven held back tears, and nodded.

"With you. I'm not sure if I can face the others quite so soon."

"Fair enough," Victor went to hug his friend, and she actually hugged him back. The two began to leave. Walking toward the elevator Raven asked, "Well what's with the new look? Are you, normal now?"

"Psh nah, I'm still me, I just got an upgrade, thanks to S.T.A.R. Labs." Raven smiled, she liked that her friend was still the same on the inside.

"One more thing," she said, "How did you get here? Working at Wayne Enterprise I mean?"

"Oh, things have slowed down, over in Jump City, since Slade and Terra were taken down. We have more time to explore our hobbies. They let me watch the tech, and design some of my own stuff. The real question is how did you get here?" The two continued to catch up as they left the basement. It's weird, Raven thought, It's like we never parted…
