A/N: Yippee! Next chapter!

I don't own teen titans blah, blah, blah…

Recap: Raven looked around frantically as robotic eyes shone out all around her in the darkness, all the time closing in on her. She closed her eyes and summoned her strength, hands glowing black.

"Azar give me strength…" She whispered before the darkness consumed her.

Chapter 21

Beast boy woke groggily shaking his head from side to side, to shift the foggy feeling that resided behind his eyes. He groaned and sat up, peering into the darkness. Where the hell was he? The room was dark and cold, it reminded him of the prison cells in Titans Tower but that was just insane. He squinted into the shadows again and soon his eyes fell upon a slumped figure leaning against the far wall. He stood up quickly, regretting it immediately when the room spun and he began to see bright lights and little birds flying around his head. He moaned and leant against the wall for support, waiting for the dizziness to fade. It did.

A thought then plagued his mind and he wondered why he hadn't transformed into an animal with night vision. He chuckled absentmindedly and began to morph. Within seconds he was a small furry, green bat, flapping around the prison cell. He took another look around the room his bat eye landing upon the slumped figure only to realise it was his comrade, his teammate.

"Cyborg!" He called resuming his human form while running over to his fallen friend. "Cy…Cyborg…come on dude wake up!" He muttered prodding him slightly. When he received no notion that Cyborg would awaken any time soon he grunted with dissatisfaction. With no further a due Beast boy morphed into a small elephant, and after glancing around the room trumpeted, awakening his friend with a yelp.

"Dude you're up!" He cheered resuming his normal form. Cyborg shook his head dazedly before glaring at the green changeling beside him. Beast boy offered his hand to the half robotic man, who accepted it greatly but also begrudgingly. He sent the green man a death glare before talking.

"Where are we?"

"Dunno really…I wonder where everyone else is?" He muttered distractedly.

"Wait a minute!"

"What?"

"We're in the our prison cells, in Titans tower!" Cyborg growled after glancing around the small confined room.

"Well, better get comfortable, doubt we'll be able to get out of here!" Beast boy said reclining on the small bed in the corner of the room. Cyborg sent him another death glare. He must have been getting lessons from Raven before she left on 'How to scare the hell outta Beast boy with one look!' He thought crossing his arms over his chest grumpily.

"I built this place remember?"

"Oh yeah!"

"Crazy green elf…" Cyborg muttered under his breath.

"Hey I heard that!"

"Yeah, yeah…anyway I can get us out of here. Stand back."

I am in the farthest corner away from you…where else am I gonna go?" Cyborg glared again and readied his sonic cannon. He pointed his newly formed arm at the weakest point of the door and without a second thought blasted it. In a matter moments the door had crumbled into non-existence and the two titans were on their way to freedom, stepping out to look for their enemy…that was until a familiar sounding blast caught their attention from down the corridor.

Before either of the titans could say a word Starfire appeared looking rather dishevelled. She looked around quickly spotting her friends and floated over to them her brows knitted together in confusion.

"What has happened? Why have we been incarcerated?" She asked quietly. Beast boy shrugged his shoulders and sighed leaning against the wall, whereas Cyborg answered her query.

"I'm not sure Star but it might have something to do with Slade you know…" he continued seeing her still befuddled face. "That apprentice of his…this is probably her doing."

"Oh yes! But…where is friend Nightwing?"

Nightwing sat down heavily on the couch with a thud. His friends had found him eventually on the roof still frozen within his ice disc. When he had questioned them about their captive the answer almost killed him. She was gone again. Again. He let Slade take Raven away from him.

His friends looked at him worriedly, unsure as to why he was so upset that the woman had escaped, for surely, they could capture her again, with ease, it had been done once before after all.

Nightwing sighed and looked up at them.

"I have something to tell you." He stopped rubbing his eyes and letting his head drop into his hands. "Slade's apprentice was female, as you all know but recently I discovered the true identity of our enemy." He stopped unable to continue his friends glancing at each other anxiously at their leaders sudden change in emotion. He sighed despairing and continued. "It was Raven."

Silence erupted into the room. Not a word was spoken not a movement was made.

Cyborg was the first to break the deafening quiet.

"It can't be…" He said weakly.

"I saw her with my own eyes Cyborg…it was Raven…"

"But she would never betray us!" Said Starfire heatedly.

"She didn't." Nightwing said quietly as his gloved hands found their way to his long hair, unconsciously running them through it.

"What? How can she not have freakin' betrayed us! I mean first she freakin' leaves, then seven freakin' years later she shows up masquerading as a freakin' man and starts to freakin' attack us at every freakin' opportunity!" Shouted Beast boy angrily at Nightwing. Nightwing stood up, towering over his teammate, mask hiding his eyes but all the titans knew they were dark and fierce.

"Slade brainwashed her, she believes that she is another person, she believes that we ruined her life, she believes that. Is that freakin' believable?" Nightwing growled through clenched teeth. Silence flowed into the room again as Nightwing turned away from his teammates, facing the window that looked over the sea.

"We have to do something Nightwing." Starfire said gently putting a hand on his arm softly. "We cannot desert her, she is still our friend no matter what she believes."

"I agree…Nightwing we have to find her, we cannot leave her."

"What do you expect me to do, I don't know where Slade is, I don't know if I can find him…"

"If anyone can find an evil psychopath it's you Nightwing." Said Beast boy. "You can do it!"

"You haven't the time."An eerily familiarvoice spoke over the quiet that had stilled in the room once again, causing all titans including the leader to look over to the voice's owner.

"...Raven?"
