I do not own the Teen Titans, they are simply props I am using to tell this story. Enjoy.

When Lily came too she was in a dark room and alone. For a second she forgot where she was, but when she looked down at her tunic she remembered everything. The wedding, Axton the demon, the portal and leaving home, and most of all Trigon's heir and her followers. Panic set in and Lily jumped out of bed and made a b-line for the door. Coming up to it she saw it had no handle. 'Of course it doesn't, I'm their prisoner.' Still she pounded on the door and tried to make it force it to open though she had no idea how open it. After pounding until her hands were bruised she began to cry, curling up into a ball in front of the door.
"Please just open." She whispered to the door as if it could hear her. What she didn't know was that it could hear her. The door slid open leading to a dimly lite hallway.
Cautiously she made her way out, staying close to the wall and as much in the shadows as possible. Making her way down the hall she came upon an open living area, she recognized it as to room she entered out of the portal. Frantically she rush to the other side of the room where the portal was and she began feeling along the wall for it. Remembering the door to her cell she stood back and called out 'open'. Nothing happened so she tried again, louder. And again. And again, until she remembered the followers, the monsters. Ducking behind a sofa she quieted her breathing and listened for any movement, but she was greeted with nothing. Silence. Looking out the large windows she saw it was night. 'They must all be asleep.' She thought. Looking out the windows again she could see a large village across the bay. It was bigger then any she had seen before, even heard of before. 'If I can got across the bay, I might be able to disappear in a village that big. No way she would be able to find me there.' Lily thought to herself. Turning around she spotted a door off in the corner. Opening it reviled a set of stairs, she took the going down, as quick and quietly as she reached the ground floor she ran across another open room and to the doors that lead outside. Once in the crisp night air she stayed in the shadows, listened for guards, and searched for the coast.
At the waters edge Lily allowed herself to stop, breath, and calm her ramped mind. Feeling slightly relaxed but still on guard she began searching for a dock. Nearly half way round the island she found who she was looking for. Robin had taken up kayaking during the their resent vacation and always left his kayak out on a small dock he, Star, and Beast boy made. Cyborg refused to get near the water for fear of falling in and crashing his system, he did however offer to develop a tough as steel light as plastic material from which to make Robin's kayak. He said it was an early birthday present to his fellow Titan. This is what Lily found, a light but strong kayak and bright village lights to guide her way. Without hesitation she shoved off the retched island and made for the land across the bay.

Rousing From her sleep Raven took some time to allow her mind to fully awaken. Looking out her windows she knew it had to be close to midnight. Lighting a small metal bowl filled with never-burn wood Raven proceeded to enjoy one of her two wedding presents. She grimaced when she thought this. Axton and her mother had a point. Lily had it worse out of the two of them. At least Raven could sleep without worrying of being murdered or tortured or worse. She shook her mind and cleared the dark thoughts away. Sighing she made her way over to the room next to hers. ' It's high time I properly introduce myself to my wife.' She thought as she made her way. Knocking on the door Raven waited for a response, but after a while nothing came. Trying again, this time using more force as sometimes you can't heard through the door she waited again but still nothing. Taking the initiative Raven opened the door and found the room empty. "Oh crap."
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Lily made it to the main land in no time. 'It was like to boat rolled its self.' And it kind of did. Cyborg put in some propellers on the off chance Robin got tired all he had to do was lock the ore in place and the propeller would take over heading for the nearest land. Lily activated this when she took a quick rest. Seeing the dimly lite docks off in the distance she smiled. 'Almost free.'
Raven didn't bother waking anyone else up, she just made her way to the roof and took off. 'She couldn't have gotten far.' 'Never mind.' She past over their small dock and saw Robin's kayak missing. Heading for the city she hoped she could find her 'wife' before something bad happened to her. When she neared the docks she turned on the small homing beckon on the kayak, another Cyborg add-on, and saw to blinking red light not to far away from her current position. Flying over she was it was empty and there was no sign of Lily anywhere. Landing she began to make her way deeper into the shipping yard, on guard as always. It may have been a quiet few months but the shipping yard and surrounding warehouse district where always a favorite hangout and hideout areas for the criminal side of Jump City.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Lily had hit the ground running and was deep inside the shipping yard and, unknowingly, making her way deeper into the 'dead yard'. It was what was left of the old shipping yard and it housed the headquarters of one of Jump City's largest cartel connections. And right now they were in a foul mood. The U.S. government hard put into act stricter laws and injected a huge amount of cash in the D.E.A and Transport dept..
"Hey boy's, I think I just found someone who can help relieve some stress." Joel said while standing by a window.
Marc walked up next to him to see for himself. "Oh, she is lovely."
"Go get her." Carlo ordered. The two men quickly made there way outside, picking up Hector on the way out.
Lily had started to slow down. She was tired and winded after running from the dock up until now. The thing that scared her most was that she couldn't see the lights of the city any more. A large mist had moved in and blocked most of the light. She could only hope that someone would find her and help her.
"Hello lovely." A man's voice called out from the dark. She stilled instantly and searched for the person.
"Where are your manners at? The man said 'Hello'." Another male voice called out from a different direction.
A choked 'hello' made it's way past her lips. She felt surrounded and knew, more then likely, she was. The sound of glass crunching beneath a boot told her directly behind her confirmed this. She stood still and waited for the men to reviel themselves. 'Perhaps I wondered onto their land and they think me a thief.' With this sound logic she found courage to speak.
"I am not a threat or thief, I'm just lost and trying to find the city." Standing still she waited for a response.
"Whose waiting for you in the city?" The first voice asked her.
"No one, I'm not from here. This is my first night here and I have no one." Lily answered truthfully and hoped the men would take pity on her and help her out. She was wrong.
