Chapter 15: Car Trouble

Cyborg stood back to admire his handy work. He had spent countless hours in the garage building his ultimate dream car and it was finally here. He grinned. He just had to show this off to the team.

"Drum roll please!" he called out to the team. Beast Boy accordingly changed into a lemur and began to beat his stomach like a drum. "Ladies and gentlemen… and whatever Beast Boy is…" Cyborg said with a grin. Beast Boy shot him a look. "It is my great pleasure to present for the first time anywhere, the thing you've all been waiting for. My coolest, hottest, and baddest creation…"

"Just get on with it," Raven monotoned from her spot beside Robin.

"I give you the future of Titans transportation. The one… the only… T-CAR!" Cyborg shouted with glee as he whipped the cloth that had been concealing the sleek and shiny blue and white vehicle. It looked exactly like his technology.

"Whoa!" "Dude!" and "Ooo." Were heard from the excited teammates. Raven sighed.

"Yup, she's my baby," Cyborg told everyone, patting the hood. As Cyborg went on to explain how the car worked and every single feature about it, Raven's eyes wandered to her traffic light uniformed teammate, thoughts stopping on him.

Suddenly, she was literally blown off her feet when Cyborg's stereo system turned on, making everyone teeter back to the floor at the pulsating rhythm. She rubbed her back and looked at her robot friend in irritation.

"Can we go now?" she asked.

"Sure, Raven. I'll take you anywhere you wanna go," Cyborg told her with a smile.

Before she could comment back to him Robin's communicator beeped, signaling something was up. He took it out and looked at it.

"Trouble!" he called out. Everybody's head whipped around when they heard the revving of an engine and saw Cyborg already in the drivers seat of his car. "I'll drive!"

"Are we there yet?" Raven asked Cyborg from the backseat. She was sitting beside Robin who was wedged in the middle between Beast Boy and her. Starfire sat in the passengers seat next to Cyborg.

"For the millionth time, no," he told her, exasperated. Raven sighed and looked out her window, Robin snickering beside her. She turned her face to glare at him, looking towards the front when she heard Starfire squealing with delight as the windshield wipers turned on and the radio started up. She let a smile slip. Cyborg didn't stand a chance against her.

"I know you're not drooling on my paint job," Cyborg suddenly threatened Beast Boy, who quickly transformed back into himself and grinned sheepishly. How Cyborg could look at all this and drive impressed her to no end.

"Now to rev my baby up and see what she can do!" Cyborg called out and pressed the accelerating button. The car jerked forward suddenly and was now flying down the road, Starfire and Cyborg shouting in delight while Beast Boy tried to stop from turning greener. Raven gripped onto Robin's arm in surprise, nails pressing lightly into him. It wasn't until they had completely stopped and Cyborg had taken the key out did she realize her iron grip and Robin looking over at her with an eyebrow raised.

"Sorry," she told him sheepishly. "Reflex."

He brushed it off with a small smile at her. "It's ok, now lets go," he said and motioned for the team to quickly head inside the cooking store where Overload was wreaking havoc. As Raven, Robin, Starfire, and Beast Boy quickly sprang into action, making their way towards the shop, Cyborg stayed behind and started to wipe his baby up ensure she was alright.

"Sweet ride," somebody said from behind him. "She yours?"

Cyborg turned around and saw two teenage boys with black hair and skater clothes approaching him. He grinned at them.

"Yep, made her with my own tw- OW!" he cried out as Raven suddenly began dragging him by his ear. She rolled her eyes.

"Boys."

"Mine, all mine!" Overload exclaimed as he sucked all of the energy from the electronics.

"You know, if you're going to take all that stuff, you better be ready to pay for it," Robin said with a grin. "Titans, GO!"

The team immediately listened to their leader and went to work. Raven's eyes began to glow white as she said her mantra and objects from around the store were surrounded in her black aura. She flung them at him, but he merely took it in and grew bigger with the energy. She gasped and flew back a ways behind Starfire who began blasting as best she could, but they didn't affect the giant electrical giant either. All he did was turn around and blast the two girls across the store into a different aisle. Cyborg and Beast Boy came up with their own attacks and Robin dodged blasts with his Bo–staff.

Suddenly, he picked up Cyborg and began draining him of his energy. Cyborg looked around and grinned when he spotted a water dispenser.

"Bet you're not water proof," he said and punched back Overload. He crashed into the jug and it lathered him with water. Robin jumped up when he realized Cyborg's plan.

"Great idea. Titans, soak him!"

Raven quickly flew up and aimed her magic at a water fountain. She ripped it off of the wall and threw the water at the enemy. Beast Boy gulped in some water and turned into an elephant, spraying him while Starfire shot at the ceiling, activating the fire sprinklers. He immediately began to shrink in size and was reduced to nothing but a smaller version of himself, letting the Titans easily roll him up into a rug.

"Once we hand Sparky over to the cops how bout we swing by the drive through?" Cyborg asked Beast Boy happily as they walked out of the store, Starfire carrying Overload. Beast Boy pointed towards the parking lot, his mouth agape.

"Um… dude?"

Cyborg gasped when he saw no car in the parking lot.

"My baby!" he cried. "Somebody stole my baby!"

Starfire quickly flew up to him for comfort. "I understand your pain, friend Cyborg. When I was small, my favorite sarnek was eaten by a rampaging glorg. Believe me, after your sarnek has been eaten by a glorg you do not want it back."

"My car wasn't eaten, it was stolen!" he yelled.

"Hey, look at the bright side!" Beast Boy told him with a smile. "At least it wasn't my fault."

"Not helping…" Robin said to Beast Boy with a sigh. He then turned his attention to Cyborg. "We'll help you find your car, I promise. But right now we've got to take Overload to jail."

"No! We've gotta go now! Every second we waste is another she could get scratched or dinged or…"

"Calm down," Raven told him. "It's just a car."

Cyborg glared at her, the first time she'd ever seen him look at her like that. He went right in front of her so that his tall frame made her have to look up to see into his eyes. "It's not just a car, she's my car. And I'm gonna find her whether you guys help me or not."

As he said this he walked away from the group. They watched him go off in silence.

Cyborg approached an innocent bystander at a local drive thru eatery, gripping his shirt. "I'm looking for my car. Tripped out hardtop, with an engine so powerful it'll make your teeth shake. Ring a bell?"

"Y-y-yeah. Sammy and Crash wanted to have a little fun with it so they decided to take it down to 'Crash Alley'… and it looks real cool with the flames on it."

"Flames?!" Cyborg quickly dropped the boy and ran off in search of his car.

Crash and Sammy pulled up at the starting line in Cyborg's car right beside a little toy car compared to his. They laughed at it and finally when the light turned green the two cars speed off, both in a race to win it, going back and forth with the lead.

Finally Crash and Sammy pulled out in the end and got out of the car, cheering each other about how the car was all theirs now.

"Not anymore pit sniffers," a familiar voice said from the car. It's car lights beamed out at the two and trapped them in a bubble as the car transformed into the little boy genius known as Gizmo. "Check out Gizmo's awesome new wheels," he said, referring to Cyborg's car. He hopped into the drivers seat.

"Wait, you can't take that! We were sort of…borrowing it…from the Titans," Crash told him.

"Even better," Gizmo cackled as he hooked up his game controller now as the steering wheel and drove away.

Suddenly, Cyborg pulled the two boys from their bubble and held them up in the air, each on one fist only moments after Gizmo had sped off.

"I want my car," he told them through gritted teeth.

"Yeah, see the thing is we sort of lost it in a race," Sammy stuttered.

"You lost it?!" Cyborg demanded. "My car lost a race?"

"No way we beat him easy, she handled like a dream," Crash reassured him.

"She did?" Cyborg gushed. "How'd she take the curves 'cause… hey wait don't try to distract me. So who has my car?"

"Some guy named Gizmo," Sammy said as he explained the situation. Cyborg pushed them back in their bubble once he got all the information he wanted, walking away and leaving them for the cops. If Gizmo had his car, things just became personal.

Raven tapped her foot impatiently as she stared up at the sky. It had already been half an hour and they still hadn't dropped Overload off at the jail yet because of 'complications' they were having. She exhaled. She felt bad for being mean to Cyborg, and had hoped this would have been quicker so she could go help her friend out. But since it was taking so long, it seemed like that wouldn't be the case.

She turned her head to look down the road, finally making up her mind to leave the team to dispose of the villain themselves so she could find Cyborg. But as she began walking, she felt a hand grab hers and was spun around sofly to be face-to-face with her leader.

"Where do you think you're going?" he asked her.

"To find Cyborg," she explained.

"Well just wait we'll all go and…"

"No," she interrupted. "This is something that I just have to do. Trust me." She finished when she saw the look of worry on his face.

"You're sure?" he asked her once more.

"I'm just going to look for Cyborg," she sighed with a roll of her eyes. "Now can you please let go of my hand?"

Robin looked down to see he was still indeed holding her hand, releasing her hand and backing away with a nod, watching the empath as she floated away.

Raven finally spotted Cyborg sitting on the curb in front of a drive-thru burger joint with fourteen empty milkshake cups in front of him.

"Uh oh, fourteen milkshakes. Not a good sign," she said, sitting down beside him and bringing her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them.

"What are you doing here?" he mumbled.

"Looking for your car. I wanted to come help you," she said, looking over at him.

"Mine as well stop looking. The T–Car is probably half way to Metropolis City by now," Cyborg sulked, sighing. "From the day I designed her I knew she was gonna be special, and I worked so hard on everything… and now she's gone forever. Maybe you were right, maybe it was just a car."

"Maybe… maybe not," she told him. "When I use my powers, I have to put my soul into anything I'm going to do. I become apart of it, and it becomes apart of me. That's kind of what happened here." Cyborg finally looked at her for the first time and she looked back. "It wasn't just a car, it was your… baby."

"Yeah… it was. Thanks, Rae," he smiled at her. She gladly returned it to him.

"And Cyborg?"

"Yeah?"

"… Don't let Robin know that I let you call me that."

Cyborg's smile widened. "No problem."

Raven's smile suddenly faltered, her eyes focused elsewhere. "And somebody's eating onion rings in your baby."

He looked to where Raven's eyes were and saw his car being driven out of the drive thru. Cyborg bolted up and his face turned red. "YOU'LL GET KETCHUP ON THE SEATS!" he wailed. Raven touched his shoulder and pointed towards a car where Crash and Sammy were talking to a waitress.

Raven's powers surrounded them and they approached the two boys.

"Try getting through that before the cops show up," she told them with a glare. Cyborg picked up the keys to their car and jingled them.

"Sweet ride… mind if we borrow it?" he asked with a grin. They gulped and didn't object.

Gizmo was sipping a shake and shoving fries down his throat when he saw Cyborg driving a red convertible right behind him with Raven in the passengers seat. He nearly choked on his food and immediately put his hands back on the controller in front of him, trying to gain some more speed.

"He may have the better car, but I'm the better driver," Cyborg said aloud as they stayed hot on his tail. Gizmo growled at them and pushed a button that let oil out of the back. Cyborg gritted his teeth together as he made the car do a wheelie, Raven hanging on for dear life. Finally, they touched back down on all four wheels. Gizmo pressed yet another button and a canon on the roof opened up and positioned itself aimed at the Cyborg and Raven's car.

"Booya!" Cyborg said happily. "Check out my babies proton canon." Raven raised an eyebrow and he cleared his throat. "Uh…I mean…oh no…"

It shot out at them numerous times and Cyborg was forced to swerve the car in different directions and then up the rock wall to get out of the way. Raven's cape was standing on end and flying behind her in all of the wind. Finally, they touched back down on the ground, but on the road above Gizmo.

"Come on! Faster, faster!" Cyborg urged the car.

Raven looked at him and then stood up, her hood miraculously staying in its place. "Hang on."

Her eyes turned white and the car was surrounded by her black aura. Cyborg eyed her worriedly and was about to object to whatever she was about to do when the car was suddenly thrusted forward and he began screaming. The car was flying fast in mid air and zooming down towards the ground by Gizmo once more. Raven levitated them down right beside Cyborg's car and rammed into it once.

"Pull over!" Cyborg shouted to the little boy genius as he reached into the open window of his car, not needing to keep his hands on the steering wheel any longer as Raven was in control.

"Not a chance!" Gizmo sneered. Cyborg suddenly began trying to pull at the small boy to take him out. "Hey! Let me go!"

Raven sighed from the other side of the car. "Ok… making it really hard to concentrate…"

After a million times of bumping into one another, a police truck came in their path. Raven gasped and flew the car up while Gizmo ditched the car, ejecting himself out before the car crashed. Raven floated the car back down to the ground once the smoke had cleared. Cyborg immediately ran to his bent out of shape car, but before he could, Overload had managed to escape out of the police car and into Cyborg's. He gasped.

Overload took out the original chip and put himself into the car, making himself one with it, the car turning red and black instead. Raven flew beside Cyborg.

"You can't destroy Overload now unless you destroy your precious car," the villain sneered at the robot man. He revved up the engine and made his way towards Cyborg at top speed. Raven looked up at Cyborg with concern, but his face was stone cold.

"It's not my car anymore," he merely said before taking his blaster out and taking aim, destroying his car. As the police finally came and crowded around Gizmo and Overload, piling them in, Raven and Cyborg stood there on the road with the scattered around pieces of car. Raven put her hood down, letting her hair flow in the wind.

"She's gone…" Cyborg whispered. "Gone forever."

"Maybe…" Raven said. "Maybe not. These are just parts. But the thing about that car – the thing that made her special, that came from inside of you," she told him as she pointed to his chip down the road that was still intact.

Cyborg picked it up and smiled.

Cyborg stood back to admire his handy work once more. He had been able to reconstruct the T–Car, and with the help of Raven. He looked over at her, knowing that words weren't needed. He smiled at her in a brotherly way and tousled her hair. She glared at him, a smile on her face all the while though, the smudge across her cheek spreading when she did.

From his spot at the doorway Robin stood smiling to himself as he watched.
