Author's Notes: Lately I have gotten complaints about having short chapters or not updating frequently. I explaind that I had just got done writing a novel and I am writing another one, not to mention I am running three sites and a one-shot fan fic request shop, and school tests, and they say that I am stopping in the middle of a good story just to start another novel. But I assure you that I am not like that. AT ALL. When I started this story, I vowed to continue it. Not to mention I couldn't stop if I wanted to because I am writing this story for a friend who requested it in my one-shot romance shop. So stop worrying and complaining because I haven't quit.


Robin gulped as he stood in front of a very small cave entrance. Inside the cave was Slade's base. What if Raven was dead and Slade was gone? He had come all this way for nothing when he could've been somewhere else kicking Slade's butt! An officer had come to Titans Tower to tell him where Raven's whereabouts were. You see, after the Titans were banded together, there was a microchip that was placed in each Titan's brain. It could find a lost Titan's coordinates or even scan her or his brainwaves. But Raven's had been jumbled up and it had been hard tracking her down, but the police finally figured it out and told Robin. They led him to this place.

He slowly walked into the cave, keeping his hand at his belt in case he needed to use his birdarang quickly. He wished all the other Titans were there to help him, but they weren't. He couldn't get ahold of them. They were in Austrailia having fun while one Titan was in danger and the other was looking for her. The determination to save Raven made Robin walked faster, almost to the point of running. He ran faster and faster. He began hearing footsteps that were not his. They were echoing against the cave walls. He looked behind him to see if someone was following him. No one. Then suddenly, BAM! He rammed into something which sent him falling to the ground. He rubbed his head and looked up and the thing he had bumped into--or rather the person he had bumped into.

The person was Terra. "Terra!" Robin said, surprised. He thought she was still a statue.

"Robin?" Terra asked. "What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question." he said.

Then footsteps could be heard. Running ones.

Robin pulled Terra and himself behind a large, stray rock. The think with the footsteps was only a Sladebot. After it had passed, Robin and Terra came out from behind the rock.

"Slade is here, alright." Robin said.

Terra smacked her forehead. "Of course! That's why you're here! To capture Slade and save Raven! Sorry, I took a bad hit to the head yesterday and I haven't been thinking right since."

"You don't have to apollogize." Robin said. He looked to the part of the cave he had been heading. "Let's go."

"What! No way! I just escaped from there! I'm not going back!" Terra said.

"If you're truely sorry for betraying us, you'll save one of us." Robin said.

Terra thought for a minute. "But--but--you didn't see how he torutured his prisoners!"

"But I know how." he said. "And if you help, you won't end up like his victims."

Terra starred into Robin's eyes. "Okay...I--I--I trust that you aren't lying."

Robin looked back into Terra's eyes to prove he was not lying. "I'm not."

Terra and Robin headed further down the cave, seeing rats and spiders. They got past the security cameras without being detected and finally arrived in a large room with a big computer screen. It looked like the main room of Slade's old base. This was definatly his base. He wouldn't settle for something without a large screen.

"Hello Robin." said Slade's cold voice. It came from the ceiling.

"Show yourself!" Robin said, turning around in circles to find Slade.

"Perhaps you should fine me." Slade said.

"You're just a coward!" Terra said, most likely trying to get him mad so he would come out.

Then Slade dropped from the dark ceiling and revealed himself. He was now on the same floor Robin was on. "You spoil all the fun." He Slade stood there, his fingers laced behind his back. "Come for Raven, have you?"

"Actually, we have." said Robin. "Free her!"

"Never." Slade said. "She is my apprentice. She promised she would do anything I asked."

"That's not true!" Terra yelled. "I was there--"
"Silence, child!" Slade said.

"NO! I AM NOT A CHILD! I SAW THE WHOLE THING! RAVEN ONLY PROMISED FOR ROBIN'S SAFETY!" Terra screamed.

Then Sladebot's came out of the shadows pointing guns a Robin and Terra. "I see you have an authority problem, Terra." Slade said. "Do not speak if you want Raven to live."

He took them to another room that was equally as big as the main one. In it was a pit of lava. Above it was Raven hanging from the ceiling on a rope. She was screaming something but it was not understandable because she had black tape over her mouth.

"If you do not obey me, Raven will be dropped into the pit."

Robin looked up. Holding the rope was a large hand-like claw. In Slade's hand was a remote that, if you pushed the right button, the claw would let go of the rope and Raven would fall into the pit.

Robin couldn't tell what Raven was saying, but she had a look on her face that said, "Kill him, Robin! It doesn't matter about me, it only matters that he doesn't hurt anyone else! Do it! Do it! Do it!"

Robin then remembered. "Raven! You have powers! Use them! Fly away!"

Raven shook her head.

"She can't." said Slade. "The ropes prevent anyone from using magic."

Robin looked from Raven to Slade, then Raven again and Slade again. Robin didn't want to do it because Raven was his friend and he was hoping she could be more, but this was his chance to end Slade's life so he could not cause anymore trouble. Robin knew this was what Raven wanted. To die in a way that was not vein. And this certainly was not vain.

Terra stood beside him, wandering what he would do.

Slade was holding the remote up. "If you do not obey, Raven will lose her life."

Robin said in a dangerous voice, "She will not be the only one today to lose her life." Robin said, pulling a bomb from his belt. Then he threw it at Slade.

But, of course, Slade's fast reflexes made him push the button before the bomb hit, making the claw let go of the rope...

Will Raven fall into the pit and die, or will there be a miracle? Read the next chapter of Raven's Diary to find out! (COMING SOON TO A FAN FICTION NEAR YOU)


Author's Notes: I hoped you liked it. It's slightly longer than my other chapters, but I'm writing longer chapters to my stories now that I have practiced with my novels. Two of them are about these superhero girls who live in Jump City. I'm thinking about posting them here on They are based on characters from my RPGs. Oh, did I mention one of the girls was the daughter of Slade Wilson? Hehe.
