Three titans were in the T-car racing towards the location where Slade was holding Raven, whilst a green falcon flew overhead. Beast Boy had a wicked gleam in his eye as he thought of how Slade had affected Raven. All he wanted was to bring her home safe and sound. He longed to see her face again, to hold her, to tell her he loved her once more. He needed her to be okay, she had to be okay, and if she wasn't, Slade would pay dearly.

Starfire twiddled her fingers as she sat in the backseat of the T-car, she would've flown there herself, but after learning the truth from Beast Boy, she just couldn't. She and Raven were never close, but she thought she was someone Raven could go to. Raven was her friend, and she never thought Raven to be weak. Starfire sighed as she dazed out the window up at the green bird.

Robin and Cyborg sat in the front seat of the car. Robin pounded his fists together every few moments with a look of anguish and disgust in his eyes while Cyborg gnashed his teeth in rage. There Raven was in the hands of a monster and the worst part of it was she actually thought she belonged there.

Meanwhile

A very irritable Slade had grabbed Raven by her hair with one hand and forced her to walk to the opposite end of the house. With his free hand he held a knife mere inches from her bare neck. Sweat trickled down Raven's forehead; her friends were coming for her, but Slade…

Slade threw Raven into a closet where she fell to her knees.

"Now my dear Raven, I'm going to take care of the unwanted visitors. You will stay here and not make any sudden moves or a single sound."

"No, I won't." she argued as she stood back up.

Slade's eye seemed to pop out from behind his mask. He held the knife in his hand and gripped it tight.

"Raven… Raven… Raven you will stay here."

"You can't hurt my friends Slade, I won't let you." She said as she tried to run past him, but something prevented her.

Suddenly Raven fell to the floor; pain was rupturing in her right arm. Her nerves twisted and screamed out in pain. She grabbed at her arm with her other to notice it was soaked. She looked down as she felt a cool sensation dripping down her bare arm. She looked up to see that sick smile painted across his lips, the same one she had seen on that horrible day. Tiny droplets of blood dripped down the knife as he held it above her. A single tear formed in Raven's eye as she looked back down at her arm. She refused to look up at him anymore. He already had the pleasure of taking her, making her weak, and vulnerable. She couldn't let him know he was getting the best of her all over again.

'Why… why am I so afraid… why can't I fight back…what's stopping me…'

"Oh, I'll tell you why Raven. I took a part from you, something that is supposed to be sacred. Something that will leave any girl, even one that is a demon to be weak and vulnerable. You fear me because you couldn't stop it and it is your fault… all your fault."

"No, no its not, it's your fault. You made me feel this way. You hurt me. YOU DID THIS TO ME!" she screamed as she fell back.

Slade knelt down and crawled on top of her.

"If it really is my fault, then why do you still think it's yours?" He said as he pushed his lips to hers.

Slade stood back up and pointed to the closet. Raven looked at the closet and then back at him. She slowly managed to push herself in without standing back up. After she was inside he shut the door behind her.

"Remember Raven, no movements, no sound." He said, and then vanished.

Raven sat there as she clutched her arm against her chest tightly. She grabbed part of her cape and ripped it off. Then she tied it around her wounded arm. She winced at the sudden pressure. Only a few minutes had passed, but in her mind it felt like hours. The titans were coming here, they were going to fight for her, yet all she was going to do was hide in a closet under the orders of Slade.

"What's wrong with me, why, why am I listening to him?!" she whispered to herself, "He made me like this, he… he…" she couldn't stop from crying.

"My friends, my real friends, they don't think I'm weak… they… they never thought I was weak. They know I'm strong, but me… I thought I was weak… it was all me… I… I never wanted to believe that I was weak, but I am… sitting in a fucking closet listening to the things Slade tells me. This is what makes me weak. He played me… messed with my head. He knew how to get to me… he knew how to make me leave… but why… he couldn't really love me could he… you don't hurt the people you love…" Raven took a deep breath, "but that's exactly what I' doing isn't it… the titans care for me, they love me, and look how I repay them… hiding away while Slade tends to them… now I truly am pathetic… and I left the titans… they never left me… they've wanted me all along…"

Raven wiped the tears from her eyes.

Meanwhile

Slade had met the Titans in front of the building. A very aggressive Beast Boy swooped down from out of the sky and transformed into a tiger as he pounced on Slade.

"WHERE IS SHE?!" he screamed.

Slade replied to his question with a chuckle.

"Dear Raven is no more."

Beast Boy's heart crumpled into a million pieces and fell into the pit of his stomach.

"You're a liar, tell me where she is!"

Slade stood up and pushed Beast Boy off. Robin couldn't bare it anymore.

"Titans Go!" he yelled and they all leapt into action.

Three titans targeted Slade, but a slender green one took his chance to run into the building where he could sense Raven.

Robin came at him first swinging his bow-staff, while Starfire threw some starbolts, but Slade ricocheted away. Cyborg ran at him firing off his cannons, but something was wrong. All the titans seemed just a bit off. Slade could tell he quickly pulled out a small trigger and all the titans froze in place.

"That's right, you see this. With a flick of this switch your dear little Raven suffers imaginable pain."

Slade then snapped his fingers and an army of fifty or so robots appeared on the scene making it perfect for him to escape.

Meanwhile

Raven slowly walked about the house towards the stairs. As she did she could hear someone rushing up.

'No…'

She turned back and ran for the closet.

'No, Slade please don't hurt me…"

"Raven!" she heard a voice yell from behind her, but she kept on running.

She sprang for the closet and pulled the door shut. Someone was in the house. She could hear him walking around, looking for something… someone… her.

Then she heard something else, there was another person present in the house, one of them was definitely Slade.

"Haven't you ever heard of knocking before you enter someone's house?" Slade asked the teen who looked ready to kill someone.

"Cut the shit Slade, where is my Raven?!"

"Your Raven? Oh no, I believe you mean MY Raven."

Beast boy jumped up and grabbed Slade by the throat.

"You tell me what you fucking did with her right now!"

Slade grabbed Beast Boy and flung him away; from inside the depths of the closet Raven could hear something break. She then heard someone fall very hard, there was glass breaking, something else breaking… maybe wood… no, bones? She held herself tightly as she squeezed her eyes together. She knew it was Slade with Beast Boy, she knew he was suffering pain… he was taking it for her…

Beast Boy began to cough, his chest was throbbing, he knew he had broken something. He tried to bring himself to stand up, but just couldn't. Slade came to his side and kicked him so hard he went flying into the next room where Raven hid. She saw him lying there, full of blood… full of pain. She was close to him, so very close, but yet so very far away.

Raven's head went blank; she could feel something building up inside of her, her head was screaming to get up, to do something. How long was she seriously going to sit there and watch this happen? Beast Boy, he loved her and he was taking all this pain for her, but he'd taken enough, she's taken enough, but Slade… oh he was going to get what was coming to him.

The doors of the closet burst open and a in the midst of it stood a figure with four gleaming red eyes.
