Taken from the "Jump City Journal" of 6 – 30 – 20XX
Teen Titan escaped!
For the fourth time in this month, a villain had escaped from the "maximum security city jail for supervillains": the name of the fugitive had been revealed few hours ago: Raven Roth had escaped from the prison apparently all alone, without the help of her friends, "The Titans". The police is searching for her in the entire town and in the woods near our town, cutting all the way of escape. The teen titans had been interrogated for three hours, but nothing emerged from the interrogatory; it seems that at the hour of the escape they were all asleep and for now, the investigators had left them out of the list of suspects. While trying to discover how Roth had escaped, the policemen discovered that another "guest" had left the jail, but in another way: "Beast Boy" (real name unknown) had hanged himself in his prison, at the same time of Roth's escape, so said the coroner. The two young ex-heroes were accused of murdering five people two weeks ago, and they were in prison, waiting for the process. The major had been criticised for the security of the jail and for allowing the teen titans to live in the town. In the last hours, several citizens had founded associations for asking the expulsion of the "Teen Titans", fearing for their life. The major...
Robin tore apart the newspaper and throw it on the wall. Beast boy was dead, Raven was who knows where, and the teen titans were dying. He had failed, not only as leader, but also as friend: Beast Boy needed help, he was destruct in his soul by Terra's betrayal and he left him for dead in a prison, and now he was really dead. He had died alone, surrounded by the darkness of an unknown place, followed by the shadows of the past. The other titans were hanging around the hall like zombies, too shocked by Beast Boy's suicide to do something. It was like living in a nightmare: since the beginning of the day they had already received a hundred phone calls, all of people who invited them to leave the town, and the kindest word is those phrases was "freak scum". Now the telephone was laying, disconnected, in a corner of the room.
"He's died. He'll never come back." Starfire's voice was deep and full of sadness: as soon as her word were freed from the prison of mind, the titans realized the truth: until that moment, Beast Boy's death was only ink and paper on a newspaper. He was gone forever, and they hadn't had the chance to say him goodbye for the last time. He was dead, his life interrupted, only the memories of him were living with them, for a short time, then he would have been forgotten by the world, like a tear in a sunny day.
"We'll have a lot of time to cry for him, but now we have another friend in danger, and we can help her... We have to find Raven before the police..."
Robin's words sounded hard and emotionless, but he was right. Slowly, the titans collected their last strength, the strength of desperation. Raven was somewhere out there, and they had to find her.
