Chapter 1:

"Man, this is creepy," said Beast Boy out loud. "I bet even Slade wouldn't want to come back here…"

"Keep looking anyway," crackled Robin over the communicator. "We weren't able to track him down after he ran. He might have come back."

"Do I have to do this alone? Can't Star or Cy…"

"Sorry Beast Boy, we're all looking in other parts of the city. Speaking of which, has anyone actually found anything?"

"Nothing by the docks," Cyborg called in.

"I have not found any sign of Slade either," answered Starfire.

"And no reports on any break-ins or other disturbances," said Raven.

"We'll just have to keep looking," Robin told them. "Over and out."

Beast Boy sighed as he looked around the now abandoned hideout. Gears and piles of rubble lay everywhere. It was dark and cold, and he was tired. He was sure that Slade wasn't here. So why should he keep looking? He quickly changed into a rat. At least in this form he might finish faster. Suddenly, his ears picked up a noise he hadn't been able to hear as a human. A banging noise. He quietly changed back into himself.

"Guys," he said into the communicator, "I heard something."

"What is it?" Robin responded immediately.

"I dunno. Should I check it out?"

"Yes, but keep yourself hidden. Call us as soon as you find out what it is."

Beast Boy shut his communicator as quietly as he could before changing into a mouse. He listened to find the source of the noise, and then followed it quickly.

Okay, just keep calm, only a noise, right? He thought. He followed the sound into a hallway leading off from the main room. Who knew Slade's place was so huge? He said to himself as he moved further down the hall.

After a few minutes, he found himself standing in front of a large metal door. The banging sound was much louder now. It was as if someone were beating a hammer against an anvil, metal on metal. He took a deep breath before squeezing underneath it. As soon as he looked up he spotted the cause of the noise. Pulling himself out quickly, Beast Boy ran a little way down the hall.

Changing back into human form and pulling out his communicator again, he sent a message to the rest of the titans.

"Uh, guys? I think you need to see this…"
