Yeah, I wish I owned Teen Titans, but I don't.
Chapter 26
Robin was searching the computers again for any sign of either Starfire or Beastboy. They'd had to stop searching on foot, but he still searched online.
Cyborg and Terra were watching T.V., Cyborg in control of the remote.
Raven was meditating, doing her best to drown out the noise of everyone else.
"Cyborg, flip to the news channel," Robin said. Cyborg complied, wondering what his leader wanted them to see.
A young woman who looked to be in her late twenties was on the screen in front of the prison.
"Two people who had just been admitted a few weeks ago have broken out of jail. They have a record of kidnapping and beating their victims, and rightly deserve to be in jail. How they broke out is still a mystery, but everyone is warned not to let any of these two near you."
The scene then changed to that of two pictures, one of Brock, and one of Kyle.
Cyborg turned the T.V. off. Raven stood behind the couch, and Robin stood up from the computer.
"If Beastboy doesn't know this, then he's in trouble," Terra said.
"No kidding; he hasn't been able to fight them, and I don't think he's going to be able to now!" Cyborg said.
"And he can't morph and doesn't have a weapon," Raven added.
"We have to find him," Robin said.
"How? He doesn't want to be found, he's made that apparent."
"We should tell Rose, maybe she can keep an eye out for him while she's out there," Raven suggested. Robin nodded and took out his communicator.

Riley came home from school to find a birthday cake on the table with seventeen candles placed strategically around it. He smiled and went to put his book bag in his room.
When he came back down, he saw Rose standing there, the candles now lit.
"So you did decide to stay," Riley said.
"Only for a few days."
"How can you leave?" he asked.
Rose was about to answer when a beep sounded from her belt. She pulled out her communicator and answered it.
"Rose?" Robin's voice asked.
"I'm here," she answered.
"Good. Listen, We still haven't found Beastboy yet, and Brock and Kyle managed to break out of jail. Keep an eye out for any of the three while you're gone, alright?" Robin said.
"Okay, I will," Rose said. She returned the communicator back to her belt.
"Was that…"
"Robin of the Teen Titans," Rose supplied. "The day before I left, I found Beastboy unconscious under the docks. He was hurt real bad, and I called an ambulance. The Titans found out about my ability to control water, and I went with them."
"You didn't even tell us," Riley said.
"I know…I'm sorry. I didn't think you or mom or dad would let me go if I told you, and I had to go. I had to learn how to control my powers, and they could help me with that."
"I don't mind if you're with the Titans, so long as I know you're okay," he said.
"Blow out your candles before you get wax all over the cake I worked hard on all day," Rose said, abruptly changing the subject.
Riley did so.
"I wonder where Gary is…He said he'd be here."
"He reminds of Beastboy," Rose said.
"Really? How? You met him for like…a minute last night."
"Their voices are the same."
"If you say so."

Gary's POV
1. I really felt like I'd just been hit by a truck.
2. I'm surprised I'm conscious considering how much my head hurts.
3. Slade was still carrying me which meant:
a. I was in serious trouble.
b. I would probably get a lot of other people in trouble.
c. I was more than likely going to feel a lot of pain when we got wherever he was bringing me.
d. It was probably very far away from where he'd taken me.
After doing this little list in my head, I started to freak out more. He'd said something about Brock and Kyle, which can only ever mean pain to me anymore. He also wants Robin, which is never good right there. And Robin would join him if it meant saving me.
Stupid bravado leader.
I heard a door open, and I was thrown onto the ground, hard.
"Who's this?"
"This is Beastboy, wearing a holograph ring."
Slade pulled the ring off my finger, and I heard them gasp as my real form was revealed.
"He's a lot less green than I remember," Kyle said.
"It doesn't matter what he looks like now. So long as we get to rearrange his face," Brock said.
"You may beat him as much as you like for now. But do not kill him. If he dies before I say you may kill him, you die. Is that clear?" Slade said.
"Perfectly," Brock said. Footsteps. The door closed. I was slammed into a wall.
Brock snarled at me.
"Get ready for Hell kid, 'cause that's what we're going to give ya."
Kyle stood at the ready, hitting the palm of his hand with a pipe.

Narrator
The four Titans still at the tower were still in the main room, doing exactly what they'd been doing before, with the exception of Terra and Cyborg playing video games.
Their game was cut short though, when an all too familiar face popped up on the screen.
"Hello Titans," Slade said. All the Titans jumped and stood at the ready, almost as if they were going to attack the screen.
"Slade, what do you want?" Robin asked.
"Funny. That's exactly what a friend of yours asked me a few hours ago."
"What are you playing at? What have you done with Starfire?"
"You're not worried about Beastboy?"
Robin was silent as this sank in, for him and for all the Titans.
"What do you want?"
"For you to come alone to this location," Slade said. His face disappeared, replaced by a map of the city. A red dot was over an abandoned warehouse by the docks.
"When?"
"Let's just say that if you're not here within 24 hours, I give the order for Beastboy to be exterminated."
Slade disappeared from the screen, and the video game came up again. Cyborg and Terra didn't start playing again.
