Raven walked through the streets of the city, her cape blowing in the breeze followed by Starfire who was anxiously looking left and right. It was nearly dark, and it was starting to get cold. The titans had gone their separate ways to try to find the criminal red x who had been stealing some valuable jewellery from the mall.
"Raven its getting dark; maybe we should go back to the tower, to meet our friends"
"If Robin wanted us to turn back, he would have contacted us" raven mumbled without turning around and continued walking.
The wind suddenly picked up and sent a cold shiver down Starfires spine. Turning around, she blasted a fireball at a dark alley. Raven quickly turned, her hands blazing with darkness. It was silent for a second.
"Starfire, relax, there is nothing here" Raven said, as she relaxed and cooled her powers.
"But raven, I heard something" Starfire whispered back
Raven glared down the dark alley, trying to sense any form of life that Starfire might have heard. Starfire peaked out from behind the nearest building, her eyes wide and searching in the darkness. It was deadly silent, with the only sounds being the wind gently breezing down the street.
Sighing Raven finally said "fine, let's take a quick look"
Starfire didn't move as raven moved swiftly towards the alley. Raven maybe one for dark alleys but Starfire was not, all the same, she did not want to be on her own, especially since it was getting dark. Sighing, Starfire walked quickly over to raven who continued walking into the darkness. It was pitch black, even the moon was hiding it seemed. It seemed like they'd been walking for ages, although it could have been because they were going so slowly so as not to walk into anything. Raven suddenly stopped making Starfire bump into her.
"Raven what is it? Do you see... something?" Starfire whispered
A strange crying was heard coming from the end of the alley just a few feet away from them, making Starfire jump.
"Raven, I wish to turn back now please"
"Hang on a second" raven said grabbing Starfire "Starfire, can you maybe light it up abit?"
Quivering, Starfire used her powers and created a ball of light in her hand. The whole alley lit up in a pale green, Starfire looked around quickly and as she moved forward she noticed a girl in the corner. Slowly walking over, Starfire bent down next to the girl, "hello I am Starfire, and this is raven, what is the matter?" she said. The girl looked up, although it was difficult to see in the light, she was obviously wearing ragged clothes and had long hair. She looked to have been crying for quite some time.
The girl did not speak but only stood up slowly her hands crossed over her barely covered chest nervously. "It is okay, we do not wish to hurt you, please, what is wrong?" Starfire gently spoke slowly standing up so as not to alarm the girl. Raven kept her distance from the girl, not wanting to alarm her; she felt that Starfire had the situation under control. The girl still said nothing but just stood there, her head down and looking at the floor. Starfire looked at Raven helpfully. Raven walked out from the shadows and towards the girl slowly. "Starfire, she's freezing" Raven whispered to Starfire.
"OH I KNOW!"
The girl jumped and tried to edge round raven failing
"We should take her back to the tower!"
Raven sighed; Starfire could get very excited very quickly. Without waiting for a reply from raven, Starfire grabbed the girl and pulled her away from the alley and towards the tower.
Raven nodded her head side to side to herself and feeling she had no choice, started to walk back to the T tower.
"I wonder how Starfire and Raven are getting on" Robin said getting out his communicator half expecting them to contact him then and there with news. But nothing.
(Cyborg) "Well, if they are having as much luck as we are, then..."
LUCK?! YOU CALL THIS LUCK?! We've been wondering the streets for hours and have found nothing! Come onnn guys, *ACHOOO* can we go home now?" yelled beast boy as he changed into a mouse accidently.
"For once, I actually agree with green boy here, we aren't gonna find him robin, at least tomorrow we have a better chance cause we can actually see!"
Nodding his head, robin agreed and started walking back towards the tower.
"Finally!" beast boy said, sneezing again and this time turning into a panda.
The boys started walking back to the tower.
Once outside the tower, they looked up. Green light shone through the T towers windows lighting up the water around it, "this doesn't look good" robin said as he rushed into the tower.
