• [first lines] 

  Robin : [over video link]  And you're sure there's nothing I can say to change your mind?

  Cyborg : No, man. I'm stayin' in Steel City as leader of the Titans East. That's it. End of discussion.

  Robin : Well, could you at least tell me why? I mean, I'm losing a member of my team here, and it's not like I can read your thoughts.

  Cyborg : They need me, and this is my big chance. I'm ready to show people what I can do. I'm ready to grow up, to be a man.

  Robin : And what about Brother Blood?

  Cyborg : What about him?

  Robin : I know how badly you want to catch him, and I know a thing or two about being obsessed with your target. Look, I just worry about what you're getting yourself into.

  Cyborg : You think I can't handle it.

  Robin : I didn't say that.

  Cyborg : You didn't have to. Man, this is supposed to be a good thing! My own tower! My own team! Why can't you just be happy for me!

  Robin : Because you're already on a team. My team! And you can't just quit!

  Cyborg : I can, and I did! Which means I don't have to put up with you tellin' what to do anymore!

  Robin : So, now this is my fault?

  Cyborg : It's not *about* you!

  Robin : No. It's all about you because that's all you care about! You talk about being a man, but if you can turn your back on us after *everything* we've been through, you're nothing but a spoiled child!

  Cyborg : [firmly]  I'm staying. I don't care what you say, I don't care what you do, and right now, I don't care if I ever see you again.

  [Cyborg end the communication by switching off the screen and walking away] 

  Cyborg : [Aqualad observes from an adjacent hallway. He is with Mas y Menos, Bumblebee, and Speedy, their eyes glowing red] 

  Aqualad : [speaking into a communicator]  He's broken contact with the Titans, Headmaster. We will proceed on your command.

  Brother Blood : [over communicator]  Wonderful, my students. Brother Blood is very happy.

  [pan down to a lower level of the tower where various monitors playback surveillance footage as Brother Blood lounges in what appears to be a dentistry chair] 

  Brother Blood : Continue the charade. Cyborg mustn't suspect that I've recruited you until I'm finally ready to recruit *him*, and I should be ready in a matter of hours.

  Brother Blood : [he opens his eyes, also glowing red]  Isn't that right, Professor Chang?

  [Professor Chang's goggles also glow red. He pulls out a two-pronged knife. Close on Brother Blood's left eye as his eyebrow tightens and the eye flares red] 

• Cyborg : Yo, Speedy! Get your butt over here.

  [Aqualad and Mas Y Menos join Bumblebee and Cyborg at the table] 

  Cyborg : After the way I've been workin' y'all in combat practice, I figured my team could use a good meal, so, say hello to homemade spaghetti with Chef Cyborg's Triple-Meat Sauce!

  [POV inside 3-foot-tall pot, it opens. Spaghetti and sauce frame the circular view as Aqualad, Mas Y Menos, and Bumblebee look inside. Aqualad inhales deeply] 

  Aqualad : Woah, Cyborg, that smells incredible!

  Mas : [chicken]  ¡Carne con...

  Mas : [pig]  carne con...

  Mas : [cow]  carne!

  Menos : ¡No puedo creerlo!

  Mas Y Menos : [collapsing]  Ahhhhh...

  Bumblebee : Mmm, mmm! What did we do to deserve this?

  Cyborg : Just my way of sayin', "Thanks for makin' me boss."
