[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]

Brother Blood : You should have accepted my first offer, Cyborg. I would have made a man out of you. I still could, you know.
Cyborg : You can take your offer and blow it out your...
Brother Blood : [cutting him off] INSOLENT CHILD! Where is it, Cyborg? I've combed through your blueprints, peeled back your armor, stripped off your machinery but STILL you defy me! Where in this vile contraption is *the part that allows you to resist?*
Cyborg : It's not in the circuitry, is it? It's not the machine that resists you; it's me, my spirit! That's the part you can't break!
[Cyborg reassembles himself, Brother Blood gasps in horror]
Cyborg : I don't need you to make me a man! I already am one!
