CYBORG POV

The Titans soar across the dark polluted night skies, closing in on Gotham City— Robin's hometown. Cyborg pilots the jet, while the rest of his teammates discuss their plan of action upon arrival. He overhears his friends, talking about how to locate Batman.

"I can sense his aura and track him. Although that might invade his privacy as well as in turn, reveal his secret identity. What do you think?" Raven questions her teammate, Beast Boy.

"It's a good idea. But I think we should just wait for a crime to take place, and find the Batman while he is on patrol." Beast Boy counters, while Cyborg continues to overhear their conversation that is taking place behind him.

He silently brainstorms.

"I have the idea," Starfire states, standing up to speak, rather than remaining seated.

"What is it, Starfire?" Beast Boy excitedly urges his friend.

"A long time ago, after Robin's original apprenticeship with Slade, he gave me a number to dial into our Titan communicators in case of an emergency, specifically involving himself— if he was out of action for some reason," Starfire explains, looking down— her eyes about to water and tear up.

Cyborg wants to get up and comfort his friend, but unfortunately, he is the only one capable of flying the jet at the moment.

"You think the number is Batman's, right?" Raven further questions.

"Yes, I believe it's the man of bats," Starfire confirms. Her voice and posture return to normal, no longer trembling in sorrow as well as guilt due to the loss of her boyfriend— and teammate.

"Awesome! Let's try it... when we land in the city. How much longer Cyborg?" Beast Boy asks his closest friend of the Titans.

Cyborg quickly turns around to answer.

"It'll be about 30 more minutes." He states, returning to his original steering position.

"Thanks, Cyborg. We're gonna rescue you, Dick. I promise." Starfire reminisces, missing her lover dearly.

The jet descends from the sky, landing in the forested outskirts of Gotham City— covering their entry since Cyborg thought ahead. No reason to draw unwanted attention to themselves.

Each member exits the plane hopeful as well as ready to save their leader from Slade, the Titans' greatest enemy. But now with the eventual assistance of Batman, they can do anything, especially in the name of Robin— their leader, their friend, and the Batman's son.

However, due to this group of heroes' unawareness of recent events... which Bruce is Dick's father, now?
