______________________________
Robin had started searching for any clues as to where Starfire could be. Any indications as to where she was or if she was even alive.
All he had found was a small box, a few foot prints, and a piece of folded paper.
He opened the small and kind of soggy piece of paper. It wasn't just any piece of paper. It was…a map?
It showed an arial view of an island. He assumed it was the one he was one because of two red crosses with the names Robin and Starfire next to one, and Beast Boy and Raven by another.
Who would be as oblivious as to drop a map telling him how to find my other teammates. He asked himself. The thought of Beast Boy crossed his mind.
That is if they were still there.
He immediately started off in the direction of Beast Boy and Raven to hopefully find them still there.
***
Beast Boy looked for Raven high and low and had found nothing but foot prints…and something else…
What is that? Beast Boy asked himself.
It was…a smell. Not just any smell. Cologne. Very distinguishing.
Now he had something to follow.
He took off into the forest, following his nose. Hoping to get revenge for what had happened to Raven. She was dead in Beast Boy's mind. He would avenge her death if it was the last thing he did.
***
Robin arrived at his destination. The little red cross on the map.
No one was there.
It was just a large clearing of cement.
Cement? In a forest? On an island? Why? Robin's mind raced as he walked on the hard flat surface.
Then he saw the paint that marked out a large H. It was a helicopter pad.
But why would Beast Boy and Raven be here? He asked himself.
Unless… Unless it was a trap.
He tensed with this thought, but nothing happened. He looked around, but there was nothing. Just to be safe, he walked back to the edge of the forest, and hid behind a tree, and waited for something to happen.
***
Beast Boy had been running for quite some time. The scent led him clear across the island to the other side. He took a short rest as he found a nearby fruit and ate it.
But sitting there led his mind to wander back to why he was working so hard.
Raven.
He threw the fruit over his shoulder and somehow found new strength and ran off again as 'the Beast.'
***
Robin had been waiting for any evidence of an ambush, attack, anything! But it was just a helicopter pad. And he was just clinging onto a hope to see Starfire.
He was just about to step onto the helicopter pad to look for any other clues, when he heard a noise. He pressed himself against the tree. Bushes rustled across the way. Robin tightened his hold on a stick he had decided to use as a weapon.
He didn't dare peek at had suddenly burst from the bushes. He remained still.
He heard a sniffling sound. He raised his eyebrows in confusion.
He decided to look.
A large beast was right in front of him. Not two inches from his face was a large hairy monster…that was green.
"Beast Boy?" Robin asked wide eyed dropping the stick.
The large monster turned back into a thin green boy.
"Robin!" he yelled embracing him in a large hug.
When Beast Boy broke his hug, they both started talking loudly and making actions. They both stopped when they realized they had no idea what the other had said.
"Starfire, was bitten by some tarantula and taken by someone!" Robin exclaimed.
"Raven's been shot," Beast Boy said with tears in his eyes. "I think she's dead."
***
"What?" Robin yelled.
"We were taken by surprise. They tried to attack us with snakes, and they shot me with a bunch of tranquillizers, and then they shot Raven, and then I followed the smell here and when I smelt you, I followed your smell over here and now were here talking and I'm telling you about how Raven got shot and why-" Beast Boy started panicking.
"Beast Boy!" Robin yelled in order to get his teammate to calm down. He let out a sigh as silence befell both of them.
"Is Raven really-" Robin started to ask when a large noise overcame them.
At first Robin thought it was a helicopter because of the sudden rush of wind, but when he looked up he only saw orange. Orange?!
The T-Ship!!!
"We're saved!" Beast Boy exclaimed as they ran out of the landing area.
The T-ship landed and Cyborg popped his head out.
"Miss me?"
