Author's notes: I swear to God, I didn't mean to take so long to write this! I'm so sorry about the sudden hiatus, my loves! I started my second semester of classes and got slammed with homework. That on top of my job (which I just got promoted at!) means I have like ZERO time to myself. I've also been trying to write a crossover fic with my OCs and the Flarrowverse which is taking a lot longer than I anticipated. UGGGGGHHHHH Anyway, I figured I could take a break from that to update this story. Thank you, Retro mania, for being super understanding about my sudden absence.

Other announcements: Like I said there's a big crossover fic coming out soon. Then I'm going to finish Still Family. I have some ideas for Don't You Think I've Tried, but no time. I now have an AO3 account (secondgenerationnerd). Same stories, just different platform. Ok that's all. ENJOY THE STORY!

She can't breathe. She can't see. There's darkness all around her. It's ok, she tells herself, trying to calm herself, This isn't real. It's just in your head.

Mumbo's annoying voice fills the darkness around her," This will teach you not to heckle the headliner! Presto Chango!"

Raven feels strange. Her skin is much warmer and her hearing much sharper. Her nose begins to twitch in annoyance. Wait, that's never happened before. She's been annoyed at Beast Boy enough to know her nose isn't suppose to twitch. A blinding ray of light hits her. It takes a second for her eyes to adjust, but when she looks down her heart sinks. She's a bunny. This isn't real. Mumbo can't possibly be powerful enough to turn her into anything. Her ears droop and she doesn't even try to keep the sarcasm out of her voice," Great."

She'll admit, whatever hypnosis he's using is pretty powerful. She almost believes that she is a rabbit. Almost.

"This can't be for real. It's just one of Mumbo's illusions." She says to the darkness. There's a loud pop and- Oh, you've gotta be kidding. A huge playing card appears in front of her. It's just one of Mumbo's illusions.

"Well, well, well," He- at least she thinks it's a he- looks her over," Look what the hat dragged in.

"Umm...Who are you?" She asks.

"I'm Anycard! You know, pick a card any card?" He gives her a massive smile. Raven can actually feel herself getting stupider talking to him.

"Uh-huh," She's not convinced," Where am I?"

"You're inside Mumbo's hat!" Anycard exclaims. He and Starfire would get along great. Every sentence seems to end with an exclamation point.

"And I'm a rabbit. Why?"

"Do you always ask such stupid questions?" Raven rolls her eyes at the accusation. No doubt it's Mumbo trying to make her question her sanity. Or just trying to piss her off. If it's the latter, then it is most definitely working.

"That's it. I'm out of here," She raises her arms," Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

The incantation doesn't return her home like she wanted. Instead her 'ears' twist together in a bow. She ignores the fact that this hurts. Mumbo must have hit her upside the head. Anycard laughs at her," Your magic won't work. Mumbo's the only magician in here. The rest of us are just for tricks."

Raven can feel her anger rising up in her cheeks. She forces the feelings down, taking a more stoic approach. As she unties her 'ears', she scoffs," I'm nobody's prop. So, how do I get out?"

"I can't tell you that!" Mumbo's voice fills the darkness once again and his hand reaches down towards her," A magician never reveals his secrets!"

Anycard yelps," The Hand! Scram!"

He takes off running. Raven doesn't have the time to figure out what's happening until Mumbo grabs her by the 'ears'. She fights him as much as she can, snarling," If you're really so amazing, Mumbo, what do you need me for?"

His laughter is too loud. This isn't real, this isn't real, this isn't real, she repeats this chant to herself over and over," You're going to be my assistant for the big show tonight!"

"I'm not helping you with your stupid magic tricks," She grounds that last word in. Any magician worth their wand hates their work being referred to as tricks. At least, that's what Zatanna had told her.

"Silly rabbit!" He cackles," You don't have a choice! My hat, My rules!"

With that, Raven is pulled from the darkness and to somewhere much, much worse.

/Line Break/

Robin is the first one to wake up. His head throbs in protest as he sits up. Starfire stirs by his side," Robin?"

"I'm here," He reassures her," Titans, sound off."

"Do we have to?" Kid flash groans. The other titans answer in a similar fashion. No one's dead, which is always a good sign. Donna stands first.

"By the Gods, what realm are we in?" She asks. There's no light whatsoever, yet they can see each other clearly.

"I don't know," Robin helps Starfire stand. If any of them notice his hand linger on hers for an extra second, they don't mention it.

"Where is Raven?" Starfire asks.

"I lost my grip on her," Robin doesn't meet any of their eyes. They know he blames himself. He's the leader, he's supposed to protect his team. None of them know about what happened the last time someone he cared about fell away from him.

"Do you want me and the twins to scout out the area?" Kidflash asks.

"No," Robin shakes his head," There's no telling where we are. We need to stick together until we find Raven."

"And how exactly are we supposed to do that?" Speedy asks, raising an eyebrow at the boy wonder.

"We start walking. Once we find Raven, she'll be able to use her magic and get us out of here," Bumblebee comes to Robin's aid. She understands the burden of being a leader, especially the part where everyone questions your authority. Robin gives her a small, grateful smile before nodding in agreement.

"Let's get going then," Cyborg insists," The sooner we find Raven, the sooner we kick Mumbo's ass, the sooner we get to go home."

For the hero's this is a good a plan as any.

Author's notes: Yay! I got a chapter finished. All my previous notes stand, but I wanted to add this at the end. After I post the rest of this story, my crossover fic, and the last chapter of Still Family, I'm probably going to go on a break. Life is just really busy right now, and I need to figure some things out. It won't be forever, just a while. Love you all!
