A Note from raven lynn morrigan: This is a story that one of my editors/cousins (iq battle winner) and I were working on together while I was sick and on complete bed rest. I'm only allowed out of bed now when someone is home with me. This is a rewrite of my two first ever Teen Titans stories. They sucked and I was ready to scrap them. He liked certain parts and had some ideas for a revamp. He did the typing...this chapter was mostly his idea.
A Note from iq battle winner: I was waiting to let Rae post this when she was better, but since she may not feel up to getting out each week to post something she finally talked me into putting it up. If you like this I can only promise to try to update it on a regular basis. It is still a work in progress and for now I rate it a T. That rating could go up in later chapters. Her original story was good, but needed some work.
Kidnapped
Robin approaches Raven after the Titan's latest battle. He pauses just outside the unusual open door to her room. He watches Raven just sitting there on her bed for a few moments before he speaks. "Raven?"
She looks up at Robin startled.
"I noticed you were distracted out there today. You have been for awhile now."
"That guy was there again."
"What guy?"
"I don't even know who he is, but I see him everywhere I lately. He always shows up when we are fighting. I stopped going to the cafe because of him last week."
Robin enters the room and kneels down in front of her. "Has he said anything, or even acted threatening?"
"He never talks to me. At the cafe he would just sit there staring and me, and always follow me around when I left. He gives me the creeps. The last time I went there-they said he paid ahead for my usual. Goth even stopped hanging out with me a few weeks ago. He wouldn't say why, but I get the feeling that this guy has something to do with it."
They look up as Cyborg enters the room.
Cyborg holds out a box toward Raven. "This was outside by the main doors. It has your name on it. Looks like you have a secret admirer.
Raven looks nervously over at Robin before she takes the box from Cyborg.
Robin gives it a quick check. "No address, it just has your name on the card." He turns to Cyborg. "Check the security cameras to see who brought it."
Cyborg arches an eyebrow, but remains silent at the look on Robin's face. Suddenly the whole secret admirer issue has taken on a more sinister tone. He leaves the room to go check the security footage.
Raven just stares at the box in her now trembling hands.
"What's wrong? Do you sense something from it?" Robin hasn't seen Raven so un-nerved since her father tried to take over the world. "What is it Raven?"
She doesn't say anything. Raven merely takes hold of Robin's hand...allowing him to feel what she senses.
Robin sits there silent for sometime. "Do you mind if I have a talk with your friend Goth? Maybe he will tell me if that guy said something to him."
Raven merely nods her head in response.
"Want me to take that down to the crime lab?"
She hands the box over to Robin.
"Should I have Star come up and sit with you for awhile?"
"I think, I'm going to lay down for awhile."
"I'll check on you later then." Robin takes the box down to the crime lab before going to see what Cyborg found.
Cyborg looks up from the security camera footage. "Mind telling me what's going on?"
"I think Raven may have a stalker. Please tell me you got him on camera."
"The cameras didn't pick up his face. He wore a hooded sweatshirt. Looks like he came over to the island on a small motorboat."
"Do you remember seeing anyone dressed like that at the battle earlier?"
"I'll download everything I saw into the computer and go over it with a fine toothed comb."
"Let me now if you find anything."
Cyborg looks up at Robin. "What was in the box?"
"Raven didn't open it, but she showed me the vision she had when she touched the box."
"Mind if I ask what it was?"
"Some sort of shrine dedicated to her. I'm going out to talk with some people at that cafe she used to hang out at. Maybe someone there knows who he is."
