Aight, it's been a while and this is probably the fic no one wanted to see me finish. However, I already had this all written out four and a half years ago. I'm just now getting around to going through these last Episodes I had. And while I can understand OC fics not being as interesting for multiple valid reasons, I genuinely laughed my butt off more than a few times rereading past Episodes to refresh myself on what I'd put in here. Man, what a shot to the arm for my heart today.
So while some people might roll their eyes seeing a Season Six fic from me, especially one with an OC SI (man, talk about cringe on my part) I can at least damn well say I captured the spirit of the Teen Titans to the best of my abilities as a younger writer. And I give my nineteen-year-old self several pats on the back for uplifting me and making me laugh five years after the fact with works I could easily picture amongst the repertoire of Teen Titans Episodes. Younger Allen, I'm going to be posting the rest of these for everyone else that could use those same laughs and heartfelt moments you thought up on the Church Mission long ago.
Episode Summary: It has been several weeks since the incident with Mad Mod. Titans East has been called in to help while some of the main Titans are down for the count. It falls upon Cyborg's shoulders to help everyone out, and maybe help everyone to bond again as a team along the way.
The view showed the T-Tower, with the bay and the city in the background.
Things looked calm at first…
Boom!
A large plume of smoke appeared from behind the T-Tower.
The scene changed.
Kckckckckckckck!
Cyborg was running with his arm up in front of him like a shield. Little yellow lasers pounded against his armored arm. A tall turret was firing down at Cyborg.
"Aghhhhh!" Cyborg yelled as he charged.
Boom!
The view showed him running through the turret that had been shooting at him. It blew up into many pieces. Cyborg put his arm down and continued running.
The view moved to show his front again. The ground opened, and a large white bulky robot appeared slowly on a platform.
"Hurrrrr..." The white robot sounded as it raised one of its hands up.
The view moved back to Cyborg as he bent low while running forward.
Kckckckckckck!
More turrets fired from the robot's hand. Cyborg jumped off the ground. The fire from the turrets hit the ground.
Wham!
Cyborg landed on the large robot's wrist and started to run up it. The robot tried to move its other hand to grab him.
Ksch!
The other hand was blown off by Cyborg's sonic cannon. The view showed him running up to its shoulder.
"Yahhhh!" Cyborg bellowed as he punched forward with his sonic cannon.
Pow! Ksch!
It connected with the large robot's face, before releasing a sonic cannon blast into it. The behemoth stumbled back and powered off.
Poom!
The robot fell back onto its platform.
The view showed Cyborg land on the ground after it, and continue in an all-out sprint. The platform sunk down back into the ground.
After a couple of seconds, he ran across the checkered line on the ground, finishing the obstacle course.
"Eh, huh, eh, huh." Cyborg bent over and started to pant. A time flashed in front of his face.
2:20.
Cyborg stood up straight again.
"Booyah! New personal best!" He cheered.
Robin appeared in the scene, walking up to him. "Way to go Cyborg. That was the best I've seen from you yet."
"Ha, I have more than that to give!" Cyborg replied with a wide smirk.
Robin's face transformed with a grin. "I'd hope so since you still haven't beaten my course record of 2:18."
Cyborg's victory turned to anger. "Are you kidding me, man!? I missed it by two seconds!?" He looked angry enough to try out the obstacle course all over again.
Robin grinned a second longer, but then he frowned.
Depressing background music started to play as he looked behind him.
...
The scene showed the control panel for the obstacle course. No one else was in sight.
The scene expanded outward, showing no one except Robin and Cyborg.
...
The large man sighed. "Rob, we can't keep things going like this forever."
Robin looked back to Cyborg. "I know..." He looked down.
(T-Comm Sound)
Robin pulled out his T-Comm and opened it. "Aqualad to Robin, over." Aqualad appeared on the screen.
"This is Robin, what's going on Aqualad?" Robin asked.
"We're working on tracking down that villain that was spotted earlier today, but it looks like he might have friends. We could use some extra help." Aqualad informed him.
Robin nodded. "I'll be on my way." He said before he closed the T-Comm.
He looked up to Cyborg. "Maybe today will be the day they snap out of it," Robin said hopefully before he ran off in the direction of the Tower.
…
The view moved to Cyborg's face. He was still frowning. "Yeah. Like they'll all just miraculously snap out of a three-week depression cycle… Right." He murmured sarcastically to himself.
"Like that happens to everyone struggling with these kinds of issues..."
He started to walk towards the Tower.
Robin was already gone.
The scene faded out, along with the depressing background music.
(Music Starts)…
…
…
When there's trouble you know who to call!…
…
Teen Titans!
From their Tower, they can see it all!…

(Music Ends)…
The view showed a set of large, metal doors.
'Guilt Freeze' appeared along the bottom of the scene in white, bold letters.
Thmmm!
One of the doors slid inward, and Cyborg appeared. The letters faded away as he walked in.
Thump!
Cyborg shut the large door behind him as he looked around.
The scene showed the ground floor of the Tower. Red velvet chairs faced each other down the hall to the elevator. There was no one else in sight.
"I guess I'll go see what everyone else is up to today," Cyborg said to himself.
He walked forward out of the scene.
The view changed, showing a hallway. Cyborg appeared at the end and walked down it for a bit. The view then showed him up close as he got close to a sliding door in the wall. ADAM was written in bold letters on it.
Thump. Thump. Thump.
Cyborg knocked on the door. "Yo, you want to join me for a good game of Turbo Racers man?" Cyborg asked.
No response came.
"I'm also going to be making those extra special Texas Style ribs that I know you like," Cyborg said enticingly.
….
No response still came.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Cyborg knocked a little louder. "Darn it, Adam, you better not be ignoring me again man!" Cyborg bellowed frustratingly.
…
No response came. Cyborg rubbed a hand on his face and started to walk away.
"Stupid, freaking, little, mmrrr!" Cyborg was grumbling to himself.
He turned the corner.
"Oof!" Thump!
Cyborg took a step back from the surprised Adam, who had walked into him and fallen back onto the ground. He was holding a book in his hand. A pair of earplugs hung from his pocket.
"Oh I'm sorry man, I thought that you were in your room-" Cyborg started to quickly say in apology.
Adam got back up, not looking up at Cyborg. "It's fine, I was just getting a new book," Adam said, cutting Cyborg off.
He walked past Cyborg. He still didn't look up.
"Well… um… maybe I could-" Cyborg started to say again.
Thmmm. Thump.
Cyborg turned his head. The view showed Adam's door closing behind him. He didn't look back before the door closed completely.
…
After a moment of silence, Cyborg sighed. "Dang it… I messed that one up." He grumbled to himself as he walked around the corner out of the scene.
Thmmm.
The view showed Cyborg walking through the Common Room doors. His head was looking down at the floor, and he was walking to the kitchen.
"Freaking Mod, freaking mysterious dimension warpers, freaking guilt and grudges and-" Cyborg was grumbling to himself.
Thunk!
He fell back onto the ground. He rubbed a spot on his head, and then looked up.
"Huh?" Cyborg said quizically.
The view showed a massive green bowl. It looked to be about ten feet high, and it filled the whole kitchen floor. It looked like there was a creamy substance coming from the top of it.
"Sniff!"
Cyborg backed up a little bit. The view showed Starfire on a ladder over the bowl. She carried a massive ladle and was stirring the creamy substance inside while sniffling to herself and crying tears into it.
"Hey, Star!" Cyborg called out to her.
Starfire looked up from what she was doing to look at him. "Yo, what are you doing man?" Cyborg asked.
Starfire sniffled. "Do you think that this would be enough of the pudding of forgiveness for Boyfriend Robin?" She asked.
"But… Star..." Cyborg looked confused. "Rob already forgave you. You don't have anything to apologize to him for."
…
Starfire sadly looked back down at her pudding of forgiveness. She started to shake her head. "It is the okay friend Cyborg. I know already that I will be the needing of a bigger bowl." She said sadly before she disappeared down her ladder.
In a few seconds, she appeared walking around the edge of the bowl. Her head was slumped, and tears were still going down her face.
"I only hope I'll be able to do the summoning of the strength to bring this next bowl in," Starfire said sadly as she walked past an astonished Cyborg.
Thmmm.
Starfire walked through the sliding doors out of the room.
…
Cyborg scratched the top of his head. "Hasn't Robin tried to get her to stop before?..."
He then sighed. "This sucks."
The scene showed Cyborg turning around and walking to the doors.
…
The view changed, showing the roof of Titan's Tower. The sun was up in the mid-morning sky.
Cyborg appeared on the roof and looked around himself. The scene showed the volleyball court and a basketball court next to it. Then past it, at the edge of the roof, Beast Boy was sitting cross-legged, next to a floating, cross-legged Raven.
Cyborg sighed in relief. "At least Rae's meditating again," Cyborg said to himself. It was also a good sign that Beast Boy was around her still. He'd worried they wouldn't be able to be near each other like Robin and Starfire.
He started to walk over to them.
The view moved to show Beast Boy turning around as Cyborg walked up. Cyborg almost stopped in surprise.
Beast Boy wasn't really smiling, as much as he looked downhearted.
"Hey Cyborg." Beast Boy said dully, before facing the edge of the roof again.
Cyborg walked up next to Beast Boy. "Hey B," Cyborg said. "You doing ok?"
Raven floated just a couple of feet away. Her face, though calm, had the evidence of dried tear tracks from earlier. Her normally A-Cut style purple locks also looked a little unkempt.
There was silence for a few moments. Cyborg waited for Beast Boy to answer, but got no response from the green changeling.
"Are… are you two feeling better?" Cyborg asked again.
…
Beast Boy shook his head. "Not really dude..." He said sadly.
Cyborg tried to go for a smile, it looked more like a forced grimace. "Hey man, I don't see any explosions happening now-" Cyborg was saying.
In the back of the scene, a veil of black covered one of the basketball hoops.
Grrrrr!
Cyborg eeped, almost jumping off the edge of the roof. He looked back in surprise. The scene showed the now mangled and destroyed basketball hoop and attachment lying on the ground.
Raven's hooded head lowered, and a tear fell from her face onto the roof below. Beast Boy shook his head next to her.
"Dude, at the rate we're going, we might as well just leave the team for a while. We're not going to accomplish anything here." Beast Boy said depressedly.
…
…
Cyborg looked confused, then his face blanched. "There's... there's no way I just heard you say that?" He asked.
Beast Boy didn't respond, he just looked straight ahead at the bay. With his chin resting in his hand.
Another tear hit the ground below Raven.
…
The view showed Cyborg. He sputtered for a few seconds, trying to find the words to say.
...
...
His downcast demeanor disappeared, and he looked angry. Very angry.
"YO, YOU KNOW WHAT?! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!"
Thmmm.
The doors to the Common Room slid open. Adam walked back out into the hallway. He had an apple in one hand, and a book in the other.
He looked to be minding his own business as he raised the apple to his mouth.
Zip!
A blur zipped across the scene, and Adam disappeared.
Thump. Thump.
His apple and book fell onto the ground.
The scene changed.
Thud!
The door to the basement burst open, and Starfire came out. She somehow defied the laws of reality as she squeezed out a monstrous green bowl through the doorway behind her. The bowl was big enough to fill the wide hallway.
She wiped the sweat off her head and lifted the bowl off the ground.
Zip!
A blur zipped across the view again, and Starfire disappeared.
THUMP!
The monstrous green bowl fell hard back onto the ground, filling up the hallway again.
The scene changed again. Showing the inside of the T-Car.
Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!
Adam, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy suddenly appeared in rapid fire in their respective seats in the car. With Adam in the front, Starfire in the back middle, and Beast Boy and Raven on opposite sides of Starfire.
All of them looked surprised.
"What the fetch?" Adam asked confusedly.
Thunk! Slam!
Finally, Cyborg angrily appeared in his seat, and he slammed his car door angrily shut.
He put his keys in the ignition.
Vroom! Krrrrr!
Cyborg started the T-Car and sped off into the tunnel.
"What are you doing?" Raven asked bitingly after they had entered the tunnel.
"Yes friend Cyborg, why have you done the kidnapping of all of us?" Starfire also angrily asked.
Cyborg gripped the wheel in front of him. His face was turning several shades of red. And not the good kind of red. The lights of the tunnel swept quickly past the T-Car.
"Dude, stop the car right now! I didn't ask you to do this-" Beast Boy was yelling angrily.
"ENOUGH!"
Cyborg's red-shaded head filled the screen, making the others' heads small in comparison. "You know, I've had it up to here with y'all! And I am sick and tired of y'all doing nothing about it!" Cyborg bellowed at them all.
Cyborg got face to face with Adam. "So you will all shut up for the moment!"
Cyborg got face to face with Beast Boy and Raven. "None of you will even think about leaving!"
Then he was face to face with Starfire. "And we will put the freaking past behind us one way or another!" Cyborg finished.
Cyborg faced forward again in his seat.
Tweeeeee!
White hot steam came out of his ears as he grumpily looked ahead. All of the others were shocked into silence. The lights of the tunnel were replaced with the light of the sky up above.
Cyborg pulled out his T-Comm and opened it. "Yo Rob, this is Cyborg." Cyborg said calmly.
"What do you need Cyborg? I'm a little busy." Robin said.
"Incoming!" Boom!
Speedy yelled in the background, and an explosion went off. "I just wanted you to know me and the others will be at the park if you need us," Cyborg said before he quickly closed the T-Comm.
…
He continued driving, with the others remaining in silence.
The scene faded to black.
