Raven

"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.

Robin

"We're so screwed," I heard Beastboy mutter under his breath. I whipped around at him, and he puts his hands up in defense, his eyes having a weary tone to them. Alice sighed and crossed her arms over her chest. It was still weird to be working with her, and by no means did I trust her, but at the moment, she was practically harmless.

"Would you two stop acting like idiots? The whole reason I'm here is to find Slade," Alice said annoyed. She paused, waiting for us to say or do something. "As in, NOW!" she shouted, making a shooing gesture with her hands. Okay, maybe not as harmless as I hoped. Even though she looked like she could pass out any moment, she had managed to stay tall and strong in front of us, a defiant and stubborn tone to her. I stood in front of her, glaring down, surprised she could manage to act taller even when I was a head above her. Even Beastboy was taller than her. She was around Starfire's height and yet she was acting as if she was ten feet.

"Why, then, don't you help us?" I asked icily, mad that she could be criticizing us, and even madder that she was correct. Beastboy and I were wasting precious time that we could be using to find Raven. I sighed, releasing the tension in my shoulders. No matter what, I'd find Raven, even if I dragged myself to hell on the way. Technically, I already did it once. "Let's all stop fighting and get to work," I commanded, settling myself in front of the laptop. I glanced out the window of the abandoned building we were borrowing, to find it was already night. Another day with no clues.

"We should rest. You'll be worthless if you can't stay upright," Alice commented in that melodically evil tone of hers. I was about to argue when I took a good look at us as a group. We were falling apart at the seams, probably because of pressure, and we were all exhausted. Sleep was most likely exactly what we needed.

"Your right. Let's rest up," I announced, getting up from the desk and taking the couch. For some odd reason, BB and I agreed that Alice should have the bed. Damn our masculinity. Beastboy changed into a cat and curled up on the top part of the couch. I laid awake, hearing their breaths become steady. Too many thoughts were invading me at once. It was going to be a long night.

"Do you want some food, little miss stubborn?" Slade asked. I stared at him confused. How did I get here? Where was here?

"Only if I can watch you choke to death on it," a calm voice monotoned in response. I looked over to where Slade was glaring and saw Raven, looking paler then usual, in a white energy dome cage. I ran towards her and it didn't even phase me that I ran right through the barriers. I knelt down beside her. She didn't look or respond to me in any way. I tried to help her up by holding her arm, but my hand went right through. My eyes widened with confusion and shock. What the hell was going on? I turned and looked back at Slade, hearing a small growl. His hands were clutchign the tray tightly with frustration.

"Must we go through this everyday? You and I both know no one will save you. In fact, I doubt they even noticed you were gone. Nobody cares," he snapped harshly. I faced Raven about to say how untrue that was, when I noticed how indifferent she looked. I could tell she knew that wasn't true even with her mask firmly in place. Suddenly I felt a pull on me. I tried to fight against it, but soon I was pulled right from the barrier and even out the building. I flew over the city involuntarily right to the building where we were staying, right back into my sleeping body.

My eyes shot open and I sat up so quick, I felt dizzy. "I know where they are!" I yelled waking up the sleeping duo.

Raven

I waited for Slade to walk away before collapsing on the hard cot that was a makeshift bed. I'd like to say I knew it worked, but I had no clue whether I had gotten through to him or not. And anyways, Robin was just my back up plan. I had another trick up my sleeve. A good magician always does. I sighed as sleep came without hesitation. It must've worked. If our bond hadn't gotten through to Robin, then why did I feel so tired. Robin heard me. He was on his way. I just knew it.
