A/N: Hey Hey!!!!!!! Well, I know I said that I don't update a whole lot, but I decided that since this was a fairly new story, and it is the first Teen Titans fic, I might update a little faster the first few chapters, and I also hit a little inspiration, and with my buddy Weasel (A.K.A.-Sanity-Stealing-Lawn-Gnome) by my side, together, we can come up with an awesome chapter! So it back and enjoy!!!!!!

Disclaimer: Um . . . not in this life, but maybe my next one!

*****

 Starfire's eyes fluttered open. She shifted her gaze around the room, trying to remember where she was. Her features saddened as the memories of her arrival came flooding back. She could remember everything that had happened at the tower, and her arrival to where she was now.

This place was horrible and it made her wish to cry, she needed to get out of here now before Slade did something to harm her. 

'Robin . . . help me, please.'

*****

"So, Sleeping Beauty has awakened, but where is her Prince Charming? I would have figured he would have been here by now."

Slade sat in same place he had been only a few hours before. How much longer would it take until Robin would arrive?

'I've given him enough time, its time to take a bit of action to make sure that he learns being late is not taken as a light thing around here.'

"Hey, you."

Slade pointed to one of the guards that stood right outside the security room door. The robotic guard acknowledged that he had heard his master by a slight nod of his head.

"Take the prisoner and meet me in the vine room, Do you understand?"

Slade watched as the robot nodded his head and raced out of the room.

"And now its time to have a little fun."

*****

A giant splatter of rain water landed on the map that Robin had unfolded in front of himself, cause the ink to run slightly down the paper, smearing as it came in contact with more ink.

"Great. Just great!"

Robin yelled in frustration. This was one of the many reasons he hated winter. The bitter cold and the lack of sunlight were also on that list.

'I can't get distracted . . .I have to save Star. I just hope I'm not too late.'

Shaking these thoughts out of his head, he rolled the map up and continued on his journey.

*****

Starfire glanced up as she heard the door opening. Fear of it being Slade, she pushed herself back onto the middle of the bed where, if it were him, he would have to reach to touch her. 

She looked up only to find one of those brainless robots, it was beckoning her to the door.

"You wish for me to come with you?"

Starfire asked as the robot nodded his head, pointing his hand laser at her.

'Should I go with him? I fear that if I do not, he will do me great harm with his laser.'

Starfire swung her legs over the edge of the round bed, making her way silently to the door as the robot grabbed tight to her arm, leading her down the long hallway.

It was only another few moments before Starfire realized they had stopped in front of a large gray door with the words 'Vine Room' engraved on it. 

A small metal tap indicated to Starfire that the robot that had brought her here had knocked on the door.

"You may enter."

After hearing the voice from inside, the door-slid open as the robot roughly shoved Starfire inside the dark room before closing the door right behind her.

*****

Cyborg couldn't stop worrying about Robin and Starfire. That's why he was presently working on the T-car's electrical wiring. As long as he kept himself busy, he wouldn't be thinking about all the bad things that could happen to the two missing titans.

"I'm going to have you all fired up baby, so when Robin and Starfire come back we can all take a ride in you."

Cyborg prepared to connect the final wires together, but at this stage, even the slightest wrongdoing could cause an electrical surge. So he needed extreme precaution and concentration. And when your friends are in danger, is very hard to concentrate on anything, and thus, Cyborg had successfully created an electrical surge.

The tower's power flickered as the massive amount of power surged through Cyborg's body, causing him to go into a shut-down as many of his parts malfunctioned from to much power.

"Cyborg!"

Beast Boy raced into the room, instantly knowing something was wrong when he noticed Cyborg wasn't moving. Raven floated over to see what was wrong.

"Many of his parts have been overloaded from the energy flow, resulting in a shut-down of his entire system. We need to get him to his room and reboot him as soon as possible." Raven stated blankly.

She began to use her power to levitate the huge half-robot out of the garage and down the hallways to his room. At least repairing Cyborg would take their mind of Robin and Starfire.

*****

"Slade, I know that you are here. Show yourself!"

Starfire looked around the dark room seeing if she was able to sense where he was. A slight movement to her left caught her attention. But before she had a chance to move, a large, thick rope like creature had wrapped tightly around her, and lifted her high up in the air.

She screamed as many other ropes made of the same substance coiled around her body, snaking up around her neck. She struggled to get loose as the vines pulled tighter.

"Its no use for you to struggle, they will only let go on my command, and the more you struggle, the tighter they become."

Slade appeared to the right of Starfire as she glanced down, trying to ignore the bit of blood running down her arm where the ropes were to tight.

Ignoring his words, Starfire began to struggle once more as the ropes indeed became tighter, causing more blood to appear on her legs, and a small amount on her neck. The pain was so intense, and breathing became very hard.

"Down." Slade commanded. Instantly the vines brought Starfire down to eyelevel with Slade as she glared angrily at him. 

"You really shouldn't be angry at me. You can thank Robin for your predicament. If he had been here on time, then you wouldn't be suffering. I guess he didn't care about you after all."

Slade grinned as he noticed Starfire's face drop slightly.

"He will be here, and yes, I know that he cares! And what you say is wrong!" She cried out stubbornly.

A few tears raced down her cheeks at even the slightest thought that Robin didn't wish to save her, Slade quickly wiped them away for her.

"Don't touch me!" She hissed venomously.

Slade grinned once again as a communicator on his arm began to vibrate, indicating that Robin had at last arrived.

"Well, it is time to say good-night, I really don't wish to have any witnesses, it has been a real pleasure Starfire."

"What? What do you . . ."

Once again taking out a small needle, he quickly shoved it into an exposed part of Starfire's arm, causing instant sleep.

Slade quickly called off the vines as Starfire fell into his arms unconscious, a bit of blood running down where the vines had been way to tight.

He turned, exited the room, and made his way to the place he would greet Robin in only a matter of minutes. The time had finally come to set his plan into action.

*****

Robin stood outside of what appeared to be an old abandoned building. Silence filled the eerie air around the place. Seconds ago, he could have sworn he had heard what could have been screaming, but it suddenly stopped.

Robin quickly pushed open the door, ready in karate chop mode to kill anyone who was in his way. But what he saw could have easily sent anyone into a rage . . .
