AN: Sorry about not updating sooner, its just I've been busy and I had actually written up the second chapter but it got erased when I tried to save it on a disk. Anyways thanks for those four brave souls who reviewed. I promise I'll mention you next time but this time I just want to write this and get it off my chest.
Back on the east side of Jump City's sewers, Robin Beast Boy and Cyborg continued their search for Slade. Now deep into the labyrinth of the pipes Beast Boy and Cyborg were starting to question whether or not Slade was actually there.
"So why are we looking down here?" BB asked as he walked right into a big pile of sludge.
"Uggggh!" He groaned as he pulled his leg out of who knows what.
"Because," Robin answered ignoring BB's situation. "Slade had to come out of the ground, deep underground. The sewers are probably the best place to look." Cyborg interrupted their pleasant conversation.
"My sensors aren't picking any life forms other than rats…There isn't anything human here except us."
"Slade isn't human." Robin growled.
"Maybe the girls are having better luck." BB suggested.
Meanwhile on the West side of the sewers Raven and Star had just come to a fork in the pipes. Neither looked very inviting, and both were smelly and dark.
"What shall we do now Raven?" Star asked still as cheerful as ever.
"Split up. You take the right and I'll take the left." Raven was glad to separate. Star nodded and floated into the opening keeping her fist high like a light. Raven watched until the light was a small dot. She climbed into her opening cringing when her hands touch the soft slush that coated the floor. Now at least she could think to herself, but no matter how much she tried she couldn't help returning to those green eyes and that bright smile. Sighing she walked carefully hands outstretched as not to hit anything. A few minutes had passed since leaving Starfire when she heard a scream. It was followed by a loud explosion that sent her onto the floor.
"Starfire!" Raven yelled and started running swiftly back the way she had come.
Robin was about to call it quits for the day. They had been in the sewers for hours and to no avail. A scream echoed through the pipes getting louder than fading. Right after what sounded like a rock slide smashed through their ears.
"Starfire Raven!" Robin yelled and started running followed by Beast Boy and Cyborg.
"Cyborg pinpoint the location of the scream and the explosion. Hurry!" Cyborg readily obliged telling them where to go and when to turn.
"They should be right around here…" They stopped in front of a huge pile of rocks blocking the way.
"Start digging!" Robin commanded. Beast boy morphed into a gorilla and began shoving rocks this way and that while Cyborg punched thru rocks in his way. Robin dove furiously at the pile.
"Starfire!"
Star! Raven screamed in her mind as she climbed into the right opening of the pipes. She started flying fast whipping the water and mud into the air behind her. Another scream echoes through the cavern like pipes. A bout of familiar laughter chilled her heart cold. She wasn't scared of Slade. He couldn't touch her but he could hurt everyone else. Reaching the end of the pipe that opened out to a circular area with a pool of waste in its center. There levitating in the center was Slade. Held by her hair was Starfire who looked severely beaten and unconscious.
"Star….." Raven gasped.
"Hello Raven" Slade greeted
