It was in the early hours of the fifth morning since the last time Robin had been with them that Raven descended from the T-plane with her teammates to meet Batman and a man who she knew to be Commissioner Gordon from one of the few memories she had accidentally gained access to when she had linked her mind to Robin's for the first time. Raven let out a soft sigh as she landed on the roof of the police station; she had attempted to use the link she shared with Robin to try and verify whether or not he was in the city but hadn't felt anything that she could be sure really was Robin. There had been a faint trace of something that might have been him, but for all she knew it could have just been some lingering traces of him emanating from his home, she was even picking up the same vague sense of him coming the very building they were standing on. She would need to be closer to Robin to actually access his mind again. If he even was in this city. She shook her head slightly; if Beast Boy could hear her thoughts he would frown at her and tell her to stop being so pessimistic. The thought drew a slight frown to her face, what did that have to do with anything? It didn't matter what Beast Boy's reaction to her thoughts would be! 'Get a grip, Raven!' she chastised herself as Batman explained to the commissioner who the new arrivals were and what they were doing there.

The commissioner merely raised an eyebrow at Batman, "Thought you didn't like having strangers in Gotham."

Batman grimaced, "I don't." he ground out and offered no further explanation.

"So did Sheldon Cooper tell you anything useful?" Cyborg asked Batman

"Possibly," Batman answered, "He said that he had been contacted by an anonymous buyer to build a bomb that wouldn't do too much damage and that would release a knock out gas when it exploded. He was given instructions to drop the bomb off in a warehouse near the docks. There was a bag of money waiting for him when he got there. He left the bomb, took the money and never heard from the buyer again."

"Did he give you an address?" Cyborg asked

Batman gave a curt nod, "I'm sending it to you now. I'll meet you there." With that Batman turned, shot out a line and disappeared into the night.

"You know, I think it looks cooler when Robin does that, you know, 'cause you can actually see him when he does it." Beast Boy commented.

Raven rolled her eyes but she had to admit that he was right, not that she would ever do so out loud.

"He's missing, isn't he?" the commissioner asked as they prepared to go back to the T-plane.

"Batman didn't tell you?" Cyborg asked.

Commissioner Gordon scoffed, "Batman, tell me something like that? Now that would be an interesting occurrence. I'd probably fall over from shock."

The others seemed taken a back at that statement but Raven wasn't surprised. Batman hadn't even wanted them to come with to find Robin, why would he even tell the commissioner that Robin was missing? The others never thought of things that way though, only Robin did, which was why he was such a good leader for them. He could read each of them like a book and he acted upon what he saw written on their faces, in their body language and in their behaviour, to ensure that they always worked well together and that they never felt lonely, misunderstood or unwanted; as they had been before the Teen Titans had been formed. They needed him to keep them together. Cyborg took the lead well enough when he needed too but he lacked that ability to read all of them that Robin did and Raven was certain that if they didn't get Robin back soon the team would fall apart. They needed to find him soon!

Raven grimaced as the lightbulb over the roof entrance of the police entrance suddenly blew out, causing the commissioner to nearly jump two meters in the air. She needed to get a grip on her emotions; she'd never find Robin if she didn't.

"We need to leave." She interrupted whatever Cyborg had been telling the commissioner before taking off without waiting for a reply.

As soon as she got into the T-plane she immediately started her meditation, clearing her mind of all things except finding Robin's mind.

She didn't notice as the others also boarded the plane or as they started flying toward the docks. The faint traces of him seemed to be growing stronger and she latched on to them, trying to locate Robin himself but it seemed as if he was just out of her reach, like if she could reach only a little further she would reach him but it was as if something was preventing her from actually getting to him.

"Raven."

Her eyes snapped open as she felt a light weight land on her shoulder. She looked over to see a green hand resting there and immediately shot an annoyed glare up at Beast Boy's worried mien.

He immediately removed his hand, "We're at the docks, Batman's probably waiting for us." He told her as he stepped back out of her personal space.

She grimaced as she unfolded her limbs and ceased levitating in mid-air.

"Find anything?" Beast Boy inquired as they moved towards the T-plane's exit.

She frowned as she nodded, "It's weird though, he's close, I can definitely feel him, but it's like he's mind is enclosed behind some kind of wall." She told him.

He stopped before transforming so that he could fly down to join Cyborg and Starfire on the ground below, "You think Slade's doing something to block you?" he asked worriedly, "I mean he was working for your father the last time we saw him, what if he knows some way to take you out specifically? Maybe he knows about your mind link with Robin?"

Raven shook her head, "If he was using anything he learnt from his time with my father I'd be able to sense it. This is different, I don't know what exactly it is and I can't explain it, but I don't think Slade's behind it."

Beast Boy still looked worried but there wasn't much else she could do to ease his worries.

"Come on, the others are waiting." She said as she prepared to step out of the plane.

"Raven," he called her back, he blushed slightly as she turned and looked at him expectantly, "You'll, uh, you'll tell us if you do feel something like Slade using any of your father's methods, right?"

Raven couldn't stop a small smile from forming on her lips as she nodded, "Come on."

"What took so long?" Cyborg asked as Raven and Beast Boy landed.

"Raven was trying to find Robin." Beast Boy answered.

"Oh, were you able to find him?" Starfire asked, staring at Raven pleadingly.

Raven was glad to actually have good news for her for once, "I can't pinpoint him exactly, but he's definitely close by."

"Oh that is wonderful!" Starfire exclaimed, rising a few centimetres into the air, "Come friends, let us go find and inform Batman so that we may work together to find him faster!"

"We're coming, Star." Beast Boy said with a slight grin as Cyborg led the way to the warehouse at the address they Batman got from Sheldon Cooper.

The warehouse was dark when they entered and Starfire immediately manifested a ball of energy around her hand to light the area up.

"You think Batman's here yet?" Beast Boy asked.

"You're late." Batman's voice suddenly came from the darkness causing Beast Boy to jump about a meter in the air and then jump behind Raven.

Batman seemed to materialise out of the darkness where his voice had come from a few seconds later causing Starfire and Cyborg to start and take a step back. Raven rolled her eyes; you'd think they'd be used to it by now.

"We got a little caught up." Cyborg said, "Raven says Robin is close."

Batman's gaze moved to Raven, "How do you know?"

"Robin told you about the time I linked our minds?" Raven asked.

Batman nodded.

"Ever since then we've shared a kind of a mental connection, I've been trying to find him through that. It was difficult in Jump City because there are so many residual traces of him there, I had the same problem when we first entered Gotham, but I can feel him now. He's close." Raven explained

"How close?" Batman asked.

"I don't know," Raven said, "I can't link directly to his mind like I usually can, something's blocking me."

"Hm." Batman said, "We'll be able to cover more ground if we split up. I've already searched the left side of the bottom floor. Beast Boy, you and I will search the rest of the bottom floor. Starfire and Raven, you search the top floor. Cyborg, see if you can find a computer."

The Titans all nodded and split up to do as they were told. Raven flew up to the second floor with Starfire where they decided to split up and each search a side. They made the circuit but didn't find anything of note so they went back down to meet with Beast Boy and Batman.

"Find anything?" Batman asked.

Raven and Starfire shook their heads.

"Hey, where's Cy?" Beast Boy asked.

"Hey guys!" Cyborg called from the room he had been in on the second floor that Raven had seen him go into a while earlier, "I think I got something."

The rest of the Titans and Batman quickly headed to the room to find Cyborg standing in front of a computer screen.

"I found security cameras." He explained when they had all entered, "They were turned off when I came in but turning them back on was easy. I did some hacking and found that they can be set to relay the images back to another source, they're not relaying anything right now but I should be able to track the signal they used."

Batman nodded, "Won't whoever the signal's being relayed to be alerted as soon as you turn it back on again?"

"Usually, but usually I'm not the one doing the hacking. It will take a little longer but I should be able to trace where he is within a three mile radius. Unless you want me to try and pin point his location exactly, but yeah that most likely will tip Slade off that we're coming for him."

"And knowing Slade he has a plan for exactly that happening." Raven added.

Batman nodded again, "I don't want to risk losing them again, Robin's mind is strong but he's never been subjected to this kind of thing before, I don't want him with that monster for longer than necessary."

"Three mile radius it is." Cyborg said, "Give me a few minutes."

Something Batman said was ringing in Raven's mind. 'Robin's mind is strong.' This was nothing new to Raven; she had been in his mind so she knew how strong it was. So what about his mind being strong was bothering her? Then suddenly, like a light switching on in her brain, she knew. There wasn't something blocking her, it was someone! Robin was blocking her. But why? She intended to find out.

"Raven?" Beast Boy asked as she moved into her levitating meditation position, "What's up?"

"I'm about to find out." She said before closing her eyes and concentrating.

She located what she knew to be the presence of Robin's mind easily and came up against the same barrier she had before.

'Robin.' She called to him with her mind, 'It's Raven, you need to let me in again.'

There was no response or change in the barrier. 'Robin, come on! Star and Batman are going crazy… we all are… please.' She sensed a slight weakening in the barrier, 'Robin? What did I say to get you to react? Please?' Nothing happened again, 'Starfire?' still nothing, 'Batman?' there it was again, that slight weakening of the barrier, 'Yes he's with us, Robin. Let me in so I can help him find you.' The barrier was weakening but not enough for her to get in yet. She didn't understand why he wasn't just letting her in, but she had an idea. She opened her eyes and stared directly at Batman, who was apparently watching her intently, and pushed the image right into the barrier blocking her from Robin's mind and suddenly she was in. Not all the way but far enough that she would be able to find him now. He was very close by.

"I've got him!" Raven exclaimed at the same time that Cyborg declared that he had the signal but all eyes were on Raven, "Come on, he's not far!" she exclaimed, immediately running out the door and down the stairs to the warehouse's exit with everyone else close on her tail.

'We're coming Robin!'

AN: Just a note to say thanks to everyone who has taken the time to follow and favourite this story and double thanks to those of you who take the time to review! And a special thanks to ForrestGuardian311 who takes the time to correct my mistakes!

Ok so I didn't mention this back in chapter 5 because I thought it would be glaringly obvious but apparently the Big Bang theory reference I made wasn't as obvious as I thought it was since only Fruityloops saw it, and I told her to look for it… so a shout out will be posted to whoever finds it in this chapter, it's in here twice!

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter :)
