A/N: O.O Good lord! Nine reviews in one day?! You guys are great! Thanks to my trusty silver pencil and Charmander notebook, I've written another chapter. This one is a flashback, beginning the instant Starfire disappears. Reviewer's Appreciation time!
KayTeeLern: THANK YOU! First review rocks. I love all your fics, BTW.
a380fan and Golden-Girl2002: Thankies muchly! Here be the 'more' you people asked for. (Hey... I rhymed.)
SleepingStarz: Do you WANT me to scare you? ...Muahahaha...
Winged-Raccoon-The-Dragon: Possibly. It all depends upon whether muffins take over New York City and appoint me to be the Master Spork over All. I feel bad for Raven too.... I, like, spazzed out when I realized she went crazy. o.O
Gothica13: BB and Rae... god, I love that pairing. X3 Sooooo cute. It's possible, but I doubt I'll put BB/R in this fic. Another one, definitely.
Imsosugahigh: Thank you! Compliments please me! And I love your penname, too. xD Keep up the good reviewing!
BlackSheild: Flashbacks rock. Hee-hee.
RavenForever: Glad you like it!
Enjoy the show, folks!

"Starfire!" Robin whirled around, looking about wildly.
"Dude... where did she go?" Beast Boy questioned, raising a brow.
"One hundred years into the future," Raven monotoned, narrowing her eyes. "That's where Warp was headed, and that's where she's followed him to."
"We have to get her back!" Robin yelled, beginning to pace anxiously.
"We can't," Raven said coldly, pulling her hood over her eyes. "We don't have the technology."
"Raven's right," Cyborg agreed, shrugging. "And even if we could follow her, she might be gone by now." Robin roared angrily and slammed his staff into the floor, gripping it tightly. The others watched him, awaiting instructions.
"I'm going to find her." The Boy Wonder finally spoke. "Cyborg, Raven, Beast Boy, wish me luck." He turned and began to walk away.
"Robin, wait!" Beast Boy called. "What should we do?"
"Whatever you want," he answered, not looking back. "You be the leader. I'm going solo. I've got to find Starfire." Their former commander dashed from the museum.
Another normal day began in Titan's Tower. Raven was hovering above the coffee table, meditating. Beats Boy and Cyborg were dueling in the kitchen, practicing strategies and moves.
"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azerath, Metrion, Zin—"
"Raven, LOOK OUT!" The cloaked girl whirled around, but she wasn't fast enough. A stray porcupine quill lodged itself in her shoulder. Beast Boy squeaked in fear as she approached them. Yanking the quill from her arm, she glared evilly at the Changeling.
"What are you doing?" she snarled, ignoring the blood staining her cloak.
"We were...um... t-training?" he answered, nearly inaudible.
"In the LIVING ROOM?!" The green-skinned teen shrugged weakly, a nervous smile on his face.
"The dueling arena's still... uh... cluttered," Cyborg added. Raven rolled her eyes, placing a hand over her wounded shoulder and healing it. Flinging the quill at Beast Boy, she marched off to her room to meditate in peace.
Around three hours later!
"Guys! Guys! Emergency!" Beast Boy was running up and down the halls, yelling for all he was worth. Cyborg poked his head into the corridor.
"Whuzzamattuh?" He yawned tiredly, eyeing the hyperactive boy. Raven materialized out of the floor, hovering next to Cyborg. She raised a brow at Beast Boy.
"There's been a break-in at South Bank. We need to get there, now!"
"Titans, GO!"
A/N: Whooo, cliffie! Expect a big battle next chappie, which will be up either tomorrow or the day after. Keep up the good reviewing! I love you all!
Except you. No, not you... Yeah, you at the computer. The one who read but didn't review. Stupid non-reviewing people.
