Oh my effing god! It's been almost a week, the longest I've ever gone (except the week I was in California and refused to update) without putting up a chapter. In my defense, this was the first week of school and even on the first day I spent hours doing homework. So while I'm sorry for you guys, the one who really deserves a pity party is me. Anyways, finally chapter thirty seven. It's about goddamn time, excuse my language. I hope none of you had forgotten about me, or are too terribly upset with me, but I had my reasons, and this had hurt me just as it had hurt all of you. Since it's been so long, I'll give a recap of what has happened in the last couple of chapters: After a while of not having her weirdo spaz moments of John and Terra, Raven has another one, so she goes to Terra's cave. While in there she is "attacked" by Alice, but both of the girls are attacked by Slade, Alice being left unconcious and Raven being held captive. Robin and Beastboy track Raven down after getting worried about her absence only to find she has been kidnapped. They team up with Alice to find Slade and Raven. There you go! A little summary just to catch you up in case you had forgotten. So, yeah. Rate. Review. Comment. Criticize. Suggest. I still do not own any of the frickin Titans, and as much as it pains me to say this, I probably never will! Okay? Do you understand you stupid copyright people? Okay, my bitch-fit is over. Thank you,

Robin

"Where is Raven?" I demanded up to her. She ran a slim hand through her blonde curls.

"And how would I know?" She asked, bored.

"Because you and Slade attacked her," I said, wondering why I needed to say this when she knew it already.

"Yeah, we both attacked her, but not a t the same time. I attacked and we fought until He came. He attacked both of us, telling me that he'd be in touch, and then everything went black. I have nothing to do with her disappearance,"

I stared dumbfounded at the blonde criminal. I had no reason to believe her, but now that I thought about it, it did seem like something Slade would do. I noticed that Alice had bags under her emerald eyes, and she had an exhausted look to her. If she wasn't as proud as she was, I'm sure she would've fainted right in front of us.

"Are you offering help?" Beastboy asked, his wary eyes never leaving her. I taught him well. Alice glared at us.

"Hell no. As I've stated previously, all I want is for you guys to be dead," She paused, glancing away, her eyes glistening with hate, once again, giving me a quick look of her tattoo. "But, I want revenge on Slade, and you guys can lead me to him," she stated plainly. Beastboy and I looked at each other, thinking the same thing. We can?

"Weren't you the one who said we wouldn't be able to find her?" Beastboy questioned. I kept silent, letting him get the experience. She sighed in response, sounding annoyed and impatient.

"Once again you mistake my want of revenge for the want to help your stupid friend. I don't believe you'll be able to find her. In fact I doubt you'll get anywhere near her. However, Slade isn't so hard. From the looks of it, he wants to be found. He revels in the idea of a fight," she noted, ignoring our shocked looks. I instantly turned cautious. For someone who briefly fought with him, she seemed to know Slade well. This all could be a trap. She looked up at us, realizing we were suddenly guarded, and her eyes widened slightly. "I'm not working with him," she monotoned. BB and I shared a look.

"You do anything to cross us, I will kill you," I stated, staring intensely at her. She gave a slight nod, standing up and jumping down off the ledge, completely at ease.

"Let's get started," she said. Her voice wasn't commanding so I left it alone. This was for Raven. No matter what Alice said, once we found Slade, we'd find Raven.

"Picking up the others should-" Beastboy began, before being interrupted. The certain someone seemed to do the a lot.

"No," We both looked at her. "The fewer the better," Looking at each other, we silently agreed. We left, deciding to leave the ignorant three alone. All they knew was that Raven, Beastboy, and I were out. They knew nothing of Raven being kidnapped by Slade, and us working with Alice. And the truth was, I don't think they'd even want to know. I'd explain it all eventually, but for the time being there wasn't really a point.

"Let's go," I said finally, leaving out the entrance of the cave, crossing my fingers all would go well and Raven would be alright.

Raven

I had been trying to avoid closing my eyes, not wanting to be caught off guard, but I felt exhaustion tempting me to drift off involuntarily. The way I was being treated reminded me of jail. Was this payback for all the criminals we've stuffed in there? Because I would almost apologize, that is, if they were good, innocent people. But they weren't. They were hardcore villains who had threatened my city, and if they had thought even for a second that the Titans were just going to sit back and watch them destroy all we had worked to protect, then they were just fooling themselves and should be in an asylum, not prison. Actually both would be best.

"How is my pet?" Slade asked, his voice menacing. Each day I had been uncooperative, he got worse and worse. He was so pissed off, it wasn't even funny.

"I didn't know you had a pet," I retorted snidely. I heard a small growl in the back of his throat as he narrowed his eyes at me.

"Cut the shit. You will give in," he practically yelled. He took a deep breath and continued, his tone back to normal. "You will give in," he said again, more confidently. His smirk grew as he zoomed into the area beneath my eyes. "Somebody looks tired," he noted, clasping his hands behind his back. I glared at him venomously, causing him to chuckle. "Why don't you go to sleep?" he asked, lowering his voice into a lull. A felt a yawn coming but swallowed it down, refusing him the satisfaction. My eyelids threatened to go down, but I kept them pried open with sheer will power. Slade sighed slightly disappointed but kept his voice down to a lull. "You'll break. Everyone does. Just got to find the one thing that will cause you to," he continued, mostly talking to himself. Robin's face flashed in my mind for a brief moment, but I shook the image away.

"I'd like to see you try," I said, pleased I could get my voice to sound so bored and indifferent. Practice makes perfect.

So what'd you guys think? Was it worth the wait? I doubt it, but hey. At least I'm trying. Rate. Review. Comment. Criticize. Suggest.
