Here is the next chapter! It's a little on the short side but I will update sooner than the last time. Thank you for the reviews and for reading. ENJOY!

Victor came back to Titans Tower with a great big smile on his face and a spring in his step. When he entered the tower, all the lights were all out and the tower appeared to be deserted. Victor, finding this very strange, walked along the hallway to Raven's room to see how she was feeling when he saw a light under a door. It was the particular door that drew Victor's attention rather than the light itself. Victor walked up to the door and knocked.

"B.B? You there?"

No answer.

"Yo B! I'm coming in."

Victor opened the door to find Garfield sitting in his old room. An old light was plugged in casting a dim light that barley illuminated the room. Garfield's room was relatively clean with the exception of some scattered pictures on the floor. On closer examination, the pictures all appeared to have a similar subject. Pictures of Raven and Garfield smiling and looking happy littered the floor and were all torn in two. Following the trail of pictures, Victor found Garfield sitting in a corner looking as though he was in massive amounts of pain.

"B, are you ok?"

No answer.

"B, do you really think it's a good idea to be in here? Raven said-"

"She isn't here,' said Garfield void of any emotion, "She went for a walk over an hour ago."

"B…what happened?"

"Raven and I…we had an argument…well actually it wasn't really an argument. We just got to talking…"

"Oh…I'm sorry B."

"Its really done between me and Rea, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry man…I tried to tell ya…I never wanted you to end up like this."

"I deserved it. I acted like a jerk. I just wish there was something more I could do…"

"Look B," said Victor sitting down next to his friend, "you need to get over all this Raven stuff. You need to get out. Start living the life that you want, not the one that she wanted for you."

"Yeah…you're right Vic. Thanks."

The heart warming moment was pre-empted by Kori dragging Richard into the Tower searching for any sort of life. As soon as she came across Garfield and Victor, she busted the dimly lit room.

"Friends! We have the most wonderful news!"

Richard came up behind her and put his arm around her.

"Kori and I-"

"ARE ENGAGED!" interrupted Kori.

Victor got up and offered his congratulations while Garfield hung back.

"I must find Raven!" said Kori, "I have to thank her most of all!"

"She's outside Kori." said Garfield painfully.

"We didn't see her when we came in." said Richard thoughtfully.

"Perhaps she is in her room." Kori rushed off to check.

While she was gone Richard finally took notice of what he was standing on.

"Um…Garfield…why am I standing on a picture of your head?"

Garfield never got the chance to answer because Kori came back from her search unsuccessful.

"She is not in her room…"

"She was too weak to fly or teleport out of here…" said Victor.

"Garfield, did she say where she was going?"

The pit in Garfield's stomach tied itself into knots. He knew this feeling, and it wasn't good. Garfield bolted up and ran outside the tower leaving his three friends in his old room with confused looks.

As soon as he went outside, Garfield turned into a dog and started sniffing around. Under the overpowering sent of Raven he smelt something familiar that he couldn't quite place. Raven was here, and so was someone else. Kori, Richard, and Victor came out while Garfield was sniffing around. Garfield had been acting strangely all night but this was pushing it.

"Garfield come on man! Nothin's out here. Give it a rest."

At that moment, Garfield's nose came across something cold and metallic. Morphing back to his original form, Garfield picked up the small circular object and took a look at it. As he looked at the tiny object, his heart skipped a beat.

Victor, Kori, and Richard came walking up to Garfield and looked at what was in his hands.

It was one of Raven's broaches.

Victor took off his holographic rings and shown a light down at the scene. It was clear that where the Titans now stood was the scene of a struggle.

Raven's head felt as though someone dissected her brain. She started wondering why she was feeling this way as she tried to piece together the events of the previous night. It all came back to her in a rush and she tried not to enter into a state of panic. Raven remembered getting ambushed and getting hit over the head. She also remembered that she was still weak from being attacked in the alley with Richard.

Things weren't looking good.

A bright light was shining down on her causing her eyes to flicker open. She was chained to a soft makeshift bed on the floor and couldn't see anything else due to the blinding light.

"She has awoken at last." said a cold feminine voice.

The lights dimmed and Raven saw where the voice were coming from. In front of her stood four figures; two of which Raven recognized. One was the Brain and his monkey servant Monsieur Mallah. Next to them was a woman dressed in black and green with long black hair that Raven could only assume was Phobia. The other figure Raven could not place.

"I'm sure this situation is unfamiliar to you." Said the Brain.

"Actually," said Raven, "This isn't the first time I have woken up in a strange place. Can you tell me what's going on before I shatter your souls into oblivion."

"You will find that quite difficult." retorted the Brain, "You see, where you lay contains a device that has neutralized your powers, and in your weakened state, you will surely find it hard to free yourself."

Raven summoned her strength and moved to the borders of her bed. A green light shot out and created a barrier around the bed. There was no way for her to get out.

"What do you want?" said Raven with contempt.

"That's where I come in." said the young boy stepping forward. He had to be younger than sixteen because he was still gangly despite it being covered in armour. He had massive amounts of curly red hair piled on top of his head. Although he looked to be an awkward teenage kid, Raven knew the look in his eyes; he had something in him: something evil.

"And who are you?" said Raven in a sardonic tone.

"I am Brother Blood."

"Excuse me?"

"I must apologise. You know my father of course. I am his son. I have decided to take up the family mantle and try to make him proud."

"Right…"

"You see, my father was part of a cult: the Church of Blood. I am sure that you have heard of it."

"My mother…that was the cult that summoned Trigon! The cult that forced her to marry a demon!"

"Yes, yes, we all know that." said Brother Blood dismissively. "Anyways, I was born into the cult so to speak. My mother was a devoted follower and took place in one of the many orgies my father held. Since I took my first breath I swore to follow in my great father's footsteps."

"You do know that we destroyed him." said Raven, "Is this your sick way of getting revenge?"

"No my dear. What I have planned for you is something much greater than my father ever conceived."

"I'm sure it is." said Raven sarcastically.

"Your tone will change when I tell you that you, Raven, are key to my success."

Raven was slightly interested but not enough to let it be known that she was intrigued.

"The murders of your friends, Kid Flash, Aqua Lad, Speedy, the twins, were all ploys to coax you five out of hiding. Especially you Raven."

Raven's eyes widened with horror. Was this all her fault?

"You see, no one knew where you where! Only the little green one did. We knew that if we posed a great enough threat, the Teen Titans would have to reassemble. Of course, to make the team complete, they would need you."

'What do you want?" said Raven aggressively.

"Raven," said the boy, "I want to marry you."
