Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans or Batman the animated series, I only own Elizabeth "Lizzy" Queen, she is my OC her character is introduced and explained in the story "From Friendship to Love" which I will try to update a.s.a.p.

Scare-Raven?

Raven sighed as she walked through the mall in her street clothes. She had gone with Karen (Bumblebee), Lizzy (Spectrum), and Kori (Starfire) but somehow, either she lost them or they lost her. Either way she was separated from them.

"Great, we didn't set up a meeting place in case we got split up so where the do I find them" she wondered aloud, but before she could put a plan into motion she was grabbed and pulled into one of the few closed down shops in that particular mall.

Raven tried to channel her powers or chant her mantra but the hand over her mouth just tightened as she took tried to get the breath to say the words. Then in a last ditch effort to let someone know what was going on she attempted to scream, but that didn't help her either. She felt a sharp pinch on the side of her neck and then everything went black.

Kori looked around in concern

"Where is friend Raven?"

"She was behind me a few minutes ago, but then..." Karen started to get scared as did the other two girls. They hid as Karen pulled out her titan's communicator

"Bumblebee calling Raven, do you hear me!" she said but was rewarded only with static

"Raven, this is Bumblebee do you copy!" Karen said a little more urgently but still the girls only got static

"Sparky is going to fry us all if he finds out we lost his girlfriend" Karen said seriously

Lizzy and Kori nodded mutely

"What do we do?" Lizzy wondered "do we alert mall security; after all she is still technically a minor, as are most of us here, or do we just go look for her?"

"Alert security, they can check the cameras, maybe find Raven faster or find out what happened to her" Karen said

Karen went to give the grudging news to mall security as Kori and Lizzy went to retrace their steps in hopes they would find Raven in one of the shops, but they were unaware that she was no longer in the mall.

Security sent people out to look for the missing teen and went to check the security cameras to look for the missing girl. They soon caught a glimpse of her in the back footage

"Is that her?" the man asked Karen

"Yes, why...?"

"Watch"

Karen gasped in horror as she watched her friend being pulled into an empty store front

"What is her full name?"

"Raven Roth" Karen replied

"Your name...?"

"Karen Beecher, we were here with our friends Kori Anders and Elizabeth Queen"

"So where are Kori and Elizabeth?"

"They went to retrace their steps to see if they could find her, but apparently that isn't going to work" Karen pulled out her cell and called Lizzy

"Yeah, Lizzy, they found her on the security cameras, call off the search... she's probably not even in the mall anymore"

"What?" the man heard a female voice demand over the line

"Liz she was kidnapped"

Lizzy was shocked when she heard Raven had been kidnapped, without even thinking about it Lizzy crossed herself. It was a nervous habit that stemmed from her Catholic upbringing.

"What is wrong, Lizzy?" Kori asked pulling her friend an empty ladies room to talk she had only seen Lizzy cross herself when she was seriously upset, nervous or scared.

"Kori, Raven was kidnapped... according to Karen she was walking in front of one of the closed down shops when someone pulled her inside. According to security there is a way out through that location." Lizzy paused "They don't know how, but they believe her captors already managed to get her past security and out of the building and are now contacting Jump City Police, and it is up to us to contact Robin and give him and Cyborg the bad news"

Lizzy crossed herself a second time and then pulled out her titans communicator

"Spectrum calling Titans Tower" she sighed

"Spectrum what's wrong?" Robin asked

"Raven's missing" she sighed "no that isn't accurate... she was captured"

"WHAT?" Robin demanded

"Robin, Raven got split up from the rest of the group and was pulled into a vacant store front. The only reason we know that happened is mall security caught it on camera"

"Shit, you had to tell them?"

"We didn't know what else to do Robin, she was missing, and we were scared" Lizzy said becoming more upset by the second

"Calm down Lizzy, you did what you could" Robin said calming a little "at least now I can tell Cyborg I know what happened even if I don't know who did it... yet, and trust me that won't last, I will find who captured her."

Karen called and Kori answered and she asked them to meet her at the security desk where they first started their search for Raven.

The two girls arrived and Karen hugged Lizzy gently as she noticed the look of fear in the other girl's eyes.

"This is Elizabeth Queen, and this is Kori Anders" Karen explained introducing them to the cops for the first time.

Robin sighed; he hated having to tell Cyborg that Raven had been kidnapped.

They soon all arrived at the mall and the cops allowed them in.

"I don't know what you titans can do, but you're welcome to try"

Robin looked at the scene near where Raven was removed from the mall and noticed very little sign of a struggle

"Why didn't she fight back?" he wondered aloud then noticed a syringe on the floor "Maybe she couldn't" he thought aloud and pointed the syringe to the one scene CSI tech

"They probably drugged her to keep her from fighting them"

"Hey I just noticed something" another said "not all the titans are here?"

Robin sighed wondering secretly if he should blow Raven's cover, after all with her it wasn't like she couldn't remake her cover, but he decided against it.

Raven groaned quietly and opened her eyes to find herself bound and gagged in the back of a panel truck. There were two other teenage girls in the truck with her, both were trembling with fear but she swore to herself she wouldn't give her captors the satisfaction of seeing her tremble.

Hours passed and Robin discovered something that made his blood run cold

"Straw..."

"Straw, you mean the kind you find on hay rides?" the CSI, a guy by the name of Nick asked

"Yeah... I think I know who did this, but... why?"

"Who first then we can work on the why" the other CSI, Rachel said

"Scarecrow" Robin replied putting the straw into an evidence bag "last I heard he was in Arkham, but he's escaped there before"

'Why would he take Raven? She's a witch she could use her magic to escape if he doesn't know how to restrain her properly' Robin thought

After a while Robin contacted Batman

"Robin, what's going on?"

"Raven was captured earlier... I believe it was by Scarecrow"

"Shit... I heard he had escaped, but why would he capture Raven?" Batman wondered

"She's not a normal human, maybe he wants to test his fear gas on one that isn't completely human. Or maybe he didn't realize who she was, she was wearing a hologram inducer that made her look normal and she was in civilian clothing."

Raven and the others were taken and put with more captives like them in a glass cell, but to the surprise of most the restraints that were put on her were not removed. She then felt a woman begin to remove the restraints that seemed to cut into her skin.

A man entered with a weird burlap bag over his head that he had fashioned into a mask that would be normally rather scary and most, if not all of the women other than Raven realized who he was and cowered in fear. Raven didn't give; she was unfamiliar with this madman and didn't currently see a reason to fear him.

"You aren't scared yet?" he asked her

"No... I've seen scarier, hell, I've created scarier than you" she retorted turning off the hologram without so much as a thought

"Ah I see I managed to grab a teen titan... Raven is it?" the man said "I have no doubt that you have the capacity of scaring people, but you also have the capacity for fear" he said and stepped into the cell

"Azerath Metrion..." Scarecrow grabbed her effectively cutting her off mid mantra he then sprayed a bit of some strange green gas in her face and then dropped her to the cell floor.

Rave coughed several times then looked to see the face of a man she thought she would never see again and began to cower in fear.
