Chapter 3

Previously:

Meanwhile, deep in the lab a dark figure stood as he held his objective in his hand, making mental notes to himself as he waited for his 'guests.'

"Zinothium… check, set off alarm… check, have fun with 'chuckles' and the four other super kids… will do" he stepped into the shadow and began to patiently wait.

Now on with the story: (Raven's POV)

Floating in the array of colors, waves of different auras zooming by, turbulent the trip was she focused her telepathy on her possessions. A gaping hole was now in her path, of the wide yet distant tunnel. A whirlpool of darkness in a rainbow colored sea. The small rupture grew bit by bit as she came closer to her final stop. The force of the cavity came upon her, and was now pulling her in with great force. As with a sudden blackout, then a flash of light as if gravity had now taking its toll, she was falling from the sky.

"OH SHIT," her heart skipped a beat as she shouted with all her strength. The pressure was taking hold of her body as she was free falling in the multi-colored, red, orange, and yellow sky.

"I think I missed something, this isn't Azarath!!" Her eyes grew wide as she pondered to herself, and tried to calm her sudden fear as she grew closer to the ground, so that she could levitate out of this dire situation.

Finally obtaining a grasp on her emotions, darkness once again shielded her and her baggage as she now took her first steps upon the unknown land.

Listening to the quickly approaching feet, he began to grin under his black skull mask. The steps had at last came to a halt, and he could now see his prey before him as he lurked in the shadows. All five of them stood there, frantically looking for their opponent. But they never knew that he was right there, watching them.

"Red-X, I know your here, show yourself." Anger clearly evident in the Boy Wonder's voice as it echoed throughout the warehouse.

"Aww, what's the matter chuckles did I interrupt your nappy time?" His mechanical voice mocked Robin with sympathy as he emerged from the shadows, revealing his location.

The gaze under his mask shifted from the leader to each and every one of the Titans. The number of them seemed to be correct, but even he knew something was off. He began to list them out to himself as he tried to figure out just what was missing.

"Chuckles, Cutie, Tin-man, Grass stain, Blondie…" he stared at the blond haired girl for a while before he jolted back to his sense by Robin's usual words.



"Titans Go!" Robin charged in head first like a bull, plowing his way at Red-X.

The Boy Wonder reached for his staff, and began to whack it at X relentlessly. However, all of his attacks were blocked by another staff of the masked thief's. X began to chuckle as he began to question the leader.

"Blunder Boy, where's that Goth?"

"What… is he talking about Raven is right there…." Robin was thrown off guard when he heard this, and X took it as an advantage to hit him in the stomach and push him to the side.

As X continued on, he came to a sudden stop when green balls of light came his way, and a smile immediately arrived under his masked. He disappeared right in front of her, and reappeared right behind her.

"Hey Cutie, came to give me a kiss?" He seductively whispered in her ear as her eyes grew wide with the feeling of his warm breath, sending waves of pleasure through her body.

She turned around with her eyes growing bright, preparing to launch an eye beam towards him, but her assault was cut short by the mass of red sticky tape blinding her sight. Her body was then pushed back against a beam, now immobilized by an immense amount of red sticky goo.

Robin was not really harmed from blow however, with realization that he neither seen nor sensed Raven's presence, made him begin to contemplate. He got up from the spot where he had fallen, and began to run towards the assailant as he took out his communicator.

"Raven… Raven come in, where are you?" Frustration and worry consumed his emotions as he sped after the masked criminal. "WHERE THE HELL IS SHE??" He screamed to himself mentally, as tried to catch up to Red-X.

A stampeding green rhino was now thrashing towards the black caped figure. He jumped up, on a steel beam, making his way up to the exit. The Rhino transformed into a large falcon. Red-X then threw another glop of the red sticky goo, landing all over the green animal. Falling to the ground, the bird was then saved by a formation of dirt that appeared below him and then he transformed back into his original form.

"I got you B." Terra said sweetly as she placed him down safely on the ground, then levitating on a rock after the villain.

"Booyaa" X became startled by the loud voice coming from a brown and blue figure in the distance that shot off sonic cannon.

Managing to dodge countless boulders from the geomancer, he made his way to the mechanical man. He vanished 3 yards before he reached him and reappeared behind him, quickly placing an electromagnetic tape on Cy's hard drive, thereby shutting the tin-man down. X continued to evade the 

rocks, leaping every-which-way, and disappearing here and there. Finally, he found his chance and landed another batch of his goo on his assailant, along with the sticky tape to blind her.

Approaching the window of his desired exit, X turned around to say his farewell, however never got the chance to as he barely missed a Bird-a-rang to the face. Robin came at him, throwing hit after hit of fury. The Boy Wonder could not stand Red-X and to make things worse was that Raven was missing.

"What's the matter Boy Blunder? Friend left ya hangin?" nonchalantly Red-X questioned.

Robin's anger grew greater for he knew X was grinning underneath his mask. He then put all his anger into his final attacks, his blind fury got the best of him, and X dodged each one of them with ease. X gave him one swift kick to the stomach and an elbow to the back. He then walked away leaving Robin on the floor heaving for air and in pain.

"See you next time chuckles…and tell the little black bird I said, hey." And with a wave of his hand he vanished in the night.

Less than five minutes later, Red-X was already a mile away, teleporting through the air yards at a time. He finally came to a complete stop as he sat on the roof of a ritzy building.

"Good night's work," he thought to himself and started to snicker underneath his mask. "Blunder boy got madder than usual. He's so hilarious sometimes… I mean how you could not even notice that one of your teammates is missing…. Well she's not really memorable anyways I guess…unlike the red head." he stood up from his spot and took one last sight at the view and teleported once again. Now appearing in a large flashy loft, he then began to remove his disguise. However, as he was moving towards the mirror he looked at himself, and remembered something.

"Who would remember her? …I never even saw her face."

Finally stopping all thoughts of the dark unnoticeable girl, he came to one last conclusion. "She's probably ugly… Thank god for the cutie." sighing in relief he continued on walking throughout the halls of the loft.

Storming through the tower, Robin yelled with fury, screaming out Raven's name with every breath. He rushed to Raven's Room, and began banging on her door. Without even waiting for a reply he barged in her room to find out that she was not there. Thoughts of several scenarios began to plague his mind as he continued his search for her at the top of the tower.

"The roof is the last place she would actually be," reaching the roof, once again he saw that his dark friend was nowhere to be found. "She has to be somewhere… she probably just stepped out…yeah that's it stepped out." Hoping that his thoughts could put him at ease, he kept on believing his assumptions.

But, for some reason he knew better, once again anxiety and rage took over as he rushed to the common room. Making his way down to the main floor, he pulled out his communicator.

"Cyborg, come in"



"Yea Robin, did you find her?"

"No. check the computer for her communicator, see if you can get a lock on her location."

"Doing it right now."

Cyborg sat at the computer, typing away, searching through city maps as he tried to get a signal on her T-com. Again and again he tried to find her, but he began to come to one conclusion.

"It's like she disappeared." He couldn't think of any other reason for her to be missing, or he just didn't want to think of what worse could have happened.

Robin practically flew into the main room, and bolted at interrogating his half metallic friend for leads to Raven's absence.

"Did you find anything yet?"

"Nah man, it's like she vanished. I can't find her anywhere; she probably turned off her communicator Robin." Cautiously the metallic teen stated turning his head to his leader.

"Cy she can't just disappear… where did her communicator last show signal?" he motioned his friend to get it up, so he could have a try at finding out her last location.

Cyborg got up out of the seat for the boy wonder, but before he turned back to him, he sadly yet carefully replied to his question.

"That's the thing Robin, the last place she was at, was her room, and then she was gone."

That's when it hit him. "Maybe she left. She wouldn't betray us would she? …No she probably just turned her communicator off and stepped out."

"Cy, check Raven's room for the exact location where it turned off, and check if she left it behind, or if there are signs of a kidnapping. She may have been kidnapped." Robin's voiced was stern and he was not in the mood to hear any replies.

"Robin, she would've told-," the Boy Wonder didn't let his tin friend finish.

"That's an order Cyborg, just go… Beast Boy go along with him and see if you can tell if anyone else has been there as well." His loud voice echoed in their ears as they dashed off into the direction of Raven's room.

Starfire became worried, not only for her friend, but mainly for her lover's growing frustrations.

"Robin, is there not anything for Terra and I to do as well in the pursuit of locating Raven?" With her innocent voice, he came to realization that he was beginning to scare the others.

"Yea Star, you and Terra go check all of her usual hang out spots…the café, book store yea those types. Terra knows where they are located, she might have gone there." Trying to somber out his voice and attempting to snap out of his now awful mood, he looked at her with a sad yet gentle smile.

As they left the room, he began to ponder. "Cy was righ,t she wouldn't have left without saying something… so she had to have been kidnapped, that's the only other reason." He began to replay today's events, trying to figure out clues to her disappearance. "Nothing out of the usual happened today. She didn't say anything, that's pretty normal. Wait… she did want to talk to me about something, but it couldn't have been to something like this…could it?" Immediately he remembered hearing her saying something during the Stink ball competition. '…I'll just leave you a note.'

Cyborg and Beast Boy were on their way to Raven's room, but stopped right before entering. Cyborg had just finished entering the code to her room, when he suddenly looked to his green friend.

"Beast Boy. Dude what's gotten into you?" Noticing his friend was not as eager to enter the girl's personal space ass he usually would be.

"Dude, you remember what happen last time we went in her room, what if it happens again?" Fear consumed the green colored boy as his knees began to 'buckle,' after his words.

"B, that's not going to happen again, plus, we already got rid of her father." Reassuring the green lad as the door swished open. "So stop being such a big baby and come on." He dragged his friend with him as he made his first steps inward.

"Her room is too, creepy." He transformed into a golden retriever and began to snoop around for any other scents other then hers'.

Cyborg dejected a small built in light from his body and began scanning the room, looking for signs of a struggle in which, he couldn't find any. He then went towards her private bathroom, to check there.

"Cy, there's nothing here. No one else was in here, but her. Not that anyone would want to come in here." Best Boy stated.

"Well, there were no signs of struggle either." Cyborg said slightly bewildered. He then became surprised by his communicator going off.

"Yea Robin, Cyborg here."

"Cyborg, check and see if you can find a letter while you at it."

"Robin, there's nothing here. No signs of struggle or any other people, and there's no letters here of any type."

"I just remember something she had said about a note. So, she couldn't have been taken away… I'm going to look around here for her letter."

"Okay Rob. Over."

As he got up from the chair to begin to look, Robin changed the channel of his T-com to contact the other girls.

"Come in Starfire.

"Yes Robin?"

"Did you find her yet?"

"No, we do not have any 'hang-out' places to look left."

"Come back to the tower then."

"Okay Robin."

Robin was searching all over the kitchen and the common room, and still he did not find the note. Beast boy and Cyborg had arrived in the common room, and noticed that their leader was still searching for the letter.

"Rob, what are you looking for? She wouldn't put the note under the couch." The blue and brown figure questioned the traffic light friend as they saw him checking under the couch.

"Cy, I know she wouldn't. But it's a possibility it could have fell down there." His breath was staggered as he gradually became restless.

"Dude, it's best we continue searching later today, it's already 3:47 in the morning." Cyborg turned to Beast boy seeing that he was now slanted leaning against the wall as he tried to stay awake.

"No, I'm going to keep looking; you could go get some sleep." He replied as he searched around the television.

"Okay, but don't stay up to late." Cy did not even bother to argue as his started to grow heavy and his battery began to slowly deplete. He nudged Beast Boy and motioned for them to go to their rooms.

The boy wonder had search every inch of the living room and kitchen, he did not know where else to look. "Maybe I should go check her room, myself this time." He was just about to go to Raven's room when suddenly the girls came in from the elevator.

"No luck Robin." Terra stated as she tried to hold back her yawn.

"Yes, we could not locate Raven. Maybe she will come home tomorrow." Star continued as she flew along side of Robin.

"Yea maybe, but I'm going to keep looking she may have left a note. You two should get some sleep."

"Okay. Night." Rubbing her eyes, Terra left the room to her private quarters.

"Robin, you should be going to bed as well. Are you not tired?" Star asked him.

"Yea, but I can wait Star, you should go to bed and rest." He replied with a tired smile before pecking her on the cheek.

"Robin, it is time for you to sleep as well please." She puckered her bottom lip as she pleaded with him to go get some rest.

"Okay, I'll continue searching in the morning." He whispered in her ear, then after giving her a gentle hug. "Good night Star," were his last words to her before he broke the hug and went to his room.

Upon entering his room, he glances toward his bed with relief knowing that sleep will soon come upon him. However, as he came closer to his objective, he noticed a white envelope neatly sitting on his bed with the name 'Robin' on it. His eyes grew wide as he knew what was inside of it. He immediately tore seal to the envelope, and began to read the message.

Dear Robin,

I tried to tell you this earlier, however you seemed to be busy; since, your precise words were, "Raven, I'll have to talk to you later, about whatever matter that needs to be discussed." Mean while you figured that someone practically dry-humping you was more important. But anyways, I'm going back to Azarath. No, I am not leaving the team. I just need to fully learn how to control my powers and use them to my fullest. In addition to that, I need a break…a long awaited break. And yes, I could have tried informing you earlier once again that I was leaving, but I realized that at least this way I don't have to argue with you. Since time on Azarath is the same as time on Earth, I should be back in two weeks, most likely, give or take a day or two. It will be as if I never even left.

Your friend, Raven

A wave of emotions began to flow over the Boy wonder's mind. His face became expressionless, for he did not know exactly how he should be feeling. Shock, anger, irritation, relief, he was confused by so many emotions and yet no way to convey them all at once. But the one that stuck out to him the most was irritation. So many things were troubling his mind; the fact that he put his arousal before his best friend, how he didn't notice she that she had left until a thief had informed him, the fact that she left without permission not even asking him first, and the worst part was her last words in the letter, "'It will be as if I was never even left.'''

The only thing he could think of was the questions that now plagued his mind. "Was I that oblivious to her presence? How could I be so stupid?"
