I DON'T OWN TEEN TITANS

(This is before Jay is rescued back at the tower)

Raven teleported she and Beast Boy back to the tower where Nightwing, Starfire, and the now discovered Terra were waiting.

"Cy not back yet?" Beast Boy asked as he entered the main room.

"No Beast Boy not yet" Nightwing replied "But we can start without him I've already briefed him through the phone. Slade has Jay we're not sure where or why but he has him somewhere. We need to find him if Slade has leverage on Jay enough that Jay joins him well Jump City will be called Slade City next." Nightwing said in a more serious tone than usual. "I have an idea how to find Slade and it involves finding Jay first. Raven see if you can get connection with Jay with your mind thing, Beast Boy try and track his scent, Terra… go check out some of the places Slade took you when you were his apprentice, Star and I will hit the streets, and Cyborg is going to look for any of Slade's typical technological signals he seems to commonly use." Nightwing finished before shooing his team off to each of their objectives. Shortly after he hit the road, Nightwing got a call from Cyborg using his old communicator

"Nightwing we got a problem." Cyborg said

"What is it Cy" Nightwing quickly asked back

"Well it's just that Slade has gone in the dark no trackers of him in months you sure he's still alive much less has Jay?" Cyborg carefully asked Nightwing knowing hot angered his newly reinstated leader could get.

Suprisingly calmly Nightwing replied "Yeah Cy I've fought Slade a lot this month and he is deffiently hiding something I don't know what but it's something"

"So you don't know where Slade is, if Jay is alive, or if Slade is even hiding something? Man this feels like a wild goose chase."

"Well you better get chasin' cause we're running out of time." Nightwing hung up his communicator before Cyborg could say anything back. "Let's go Star" Nightwing waved for Starfire to come with him out the door. The couple headed for the docks which were a common place for Slade to hide at when he needed to be off the grid, only they found a few thieves nothing Nightwing and Starfire couldn't handle. Nightwing brought out his sticks and began to disarm the thieves while Starfire piled them up six in total is what Nightwing counted, but one had run away only to make matters a little harder as Starfire easily caught up with him and brought him back rather easily. The two then had to wait for the police to show up and bring the criminals to jail, one that had found all it's prisoners broken out of just moments earlier by a suspect unknown to the police, and all the prisoners were missing not a single security camera could pick up who or what did it.

"NIGHTWING!" Cyborgs voice ran through his communicator like a freight train

"What is it Cy? What have you found?"

"The jail! Every prisoner sent there is missing they all just disappeared without a trace nobody came in or anything! You know what I'm thinking?"

"Yeah it's him has to be… But how what reason and how can we trace it?"

"That's the bad news; we can't trace it Jay's powers leave no trace of where he was and where he went." Cyborg finished only starting again shortly after, "only what could Slade possibly want all the criminals in the city with?"

"I don't know Cy but it can't be good. Group up at the tower I fear a war is about to start."

Nightwing and Starfire were the last to arrive at the Tower finding Terra had no luck, Raven was still in her and Beast Boys room trying to get connection with Jay, Beast Boys sent only lead him to traps set by Slade, and Cyborg was still lost in all his computer searches looking for any signs of Jay in the news, signs of weird power surges, or signs of any of Jay's powers acting up only in the end he found nothing.

"Guys Slade has gone off the grid it's never been this hard to find him before" Nightwing said slamming his fists down on the table.

"Man I don't know but that fight with Slade's robots was hard I didn't know how outa shape I am until now."

"Beast Boy now's not the time for that, go check on Raven see how she's doing." Nightwing commanded Beast Boy more to get him out of the room then to really see how Raven was doing. Beast Boy turned into a wolf and ran to his room to check on his fiancé. Upon entering the room he found Raven in a sort of daze on her bed, she was floating a few feat in the air if she had the symbols Beast Boy would have thought she was summoning Trigon again.

"Rae you ok?" Beast Boy asked carefully getting no response from Raven; he walked over and put his hand on her wrist checking for a pulse he relaxed when he found one. But his relaxation was short lived as he got sucked into a weird view of Ravens where she could look and see the whole cities emotions, he was quickly over whelmed with all the feelings it gave off that he was shocked out of the daze. This gave Beast Boy a whole new level of respect for all the emotions Raven had to deal with on a daily basis, it was like a thousand people shouting inside your mind at one time all different things arguing, happiness, anger, and the worst grief. Only when he was in her mind Raven seemed perfectly find in fact she look like she was looking for a certain emotion or a certain person in the mess of people. Beast Boy just watched in awe as Raven lifted from her daze and said to him

"I found him" raven then bolted out of the room and to the main room. "I found him he's where the Terra statue used to be I think Slade like his old form of public art." Raven sarcasm showing just a tad bit this making Beast Boy smile at his fiancé he loved her sarcastic tone and jokes.

"TITANS GO!" Nightwing shouted realizing it was the first time in a long time he had gotten to say that. The Titans burst out of the room and headed for Terra's old cave the journey was easy for most but for Terra it was full of bad memories she wished not to think about.

"Raven how did you find him?" Beast boy asked "I was in that weird map place with you there were millions of feelings how did you find Jay's?"

"Special talent you pick up on after a while" Raven replied

The Titans sat at a door that was new to the cave Slade was no doubt here wait for them. Nightwing tossed a few grenades to the door blasting it down and the Titans charged in Raven creating contact with Jay in the meantime as well as protecting Beast Boy from some more bots, he in turn protected her they worked like a real couple in both their minds. Nightwing charged Slade and the two had their largest clash yet with what would have been in any other setting the most destructive one yet. Cyborg created cover fire for Starfire to rescue Jay and Terra was smashing anything that came close to Jay and herself. Terra turned to see Starfire flying faster than she ever had before holding something that resembled a man in a black and blue body suit out the door. Meanwhile with Slade and Nightwing Slade had the upper hand the two had cleared an entire section of the cave of Slade's minions and other criminals, but Nightwing still had a few tricks left to pull on Slade, one such was when he threw two disks that froze the celling and ground causing the ceiling to crumble due to weak integrity and the ground to collapse as well. Slade jumped off just in time, but Nightwing was expecting this and bashed Slade with his dual wield sticks. Slade dodged the attack causing Nightwing to almost fall of the cliff he had created. Nightwing avoided falling off the cliff, but did lose his weapons causing this battle to turn into a hand to hand contest only. Nightwing began off with a combination of kicks causing Slade to lose balance, Slade quickly retaliated with a few punches that cause Nightwing to stop attacking and focus on defense. The two were evenly matched until Slade began to use his new found strength against Nightwing. Slade now clearly had the upper hand and was going in for the final blow when Cyborg blasted him with his sonic cannon. Cyborg picked up Nightwing and headed for the exit calling after Raven, Beast Boy, and Terra to follow Beast Boy and Raven teleported out where Terra brought the cave together all around her then lifted herself up through the ground around her. She saw Slade escape at the last possible second cursing to herself for not being faster. They returned to the Tower to find Starfire in tears because she could not help her friend, Cyborg and Raven took over the healing find that Jay was much weaker and he emanated less power to Raven than ever before was alarming to the two Titans, Nightwing continuously went over the fight with Slade it was like he took some venom in the middle of the fight and grew in strength and speed it came out of nowhere, Beast Boy set up another surprise dinner for raven back in their room, and Terra went to her room and frantically looked for a way to get into the infirmary where Cyborg and Raven had both made it clear they could have no interruptions.
