Hey, it's a party so, let's throw in a songfic!! I'm with you, Avril Lavigne!
This chapter is basically what's going with Raven and where she is, but she isn't all empty anymore (That would be a pretty boring chapter, wouldn't it?) With a little songfic thrown into the mix, might as well, it is a party.
If it rocks, yay for me! If it sucks, I was drunk and so were you! A win-win situation!
Read the ficcy now, I command you!

The Titans, led by Bane, ran across town to Slade's hide-out, following Raven's scent as they continued through the pounding rain. The Titans were all wet and miserable, and Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg were each at a loss for words, having finally been told the truth (Well, they were actually kind of eves-dropping, but they still found out anyway).
Starfire was easily the most confused, and the most hurt. She thought of Raven as her very best friend in the world, in the universe, like a sister of sorts, and could not understand how some one could harm her, even by accident.
The feeling of catching her life-less body from the sky still haunted her memories, her blood, her eyes, her pain, still floated in front of her eyes, and she could not make them go away. And she still hated the rain, no matter how much Raven liked it.
Robin had no thoughts, as he had figured it out a long time ago, though he couldn't bear to admit it.
Cyborg was angry, not confused. He understood all of it well enough, and he could sympathize with BB, he wasn't angry at him. It was Trigon he was mad at, Trigon and Slade, planning the perfect crime at the perfect time, without any heart at all.
"I need to return to Raven, Beast Boy, continue following her scent," Bane yelled at BB through the rain, as he disappeared, returning to Raven so that she could fight.
Beast Boy followed the trail, cringing at the spots of blood he would find on the street every so often, as the rain pounded through tin gutters and lightning illuminated the sky, thunder rolling in after it.

Raven suddenly became aware of where she was, as if heavy iron chains had lifted from her mind, waking her up from a long sleep. All that she could see before her was darkness, she could hear the rain pound in the distance, tapping insistently against a paned window to tell her that it was there.
"I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound"
She searched the room for human life, but quickly discovered her limited movement. Her arms were in heavy, white, glowing chains, allowing the rest of her to dangle from her bondage, against a cold stone wall. She had a similar white bubble around her, cutting her powers off from the rest of the world.
The hanging position was extremely painful for her, especially her shoulder. It seared and throbbed as it supported the rest of her body, threatening to rip even deeper, like a torn doll, stretched to its breaking point. And Raven only wondered one thing about the room that she couldn't see.
"Where are my friends?" she wondered out loud, hoping for an answer to come flying through the darkness, but not the answer she had received.
"They aren't here," came a familiar voice, as Slade came into view from the shadows, "And they haven't been looking for you, they really don't care."
"Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?"
"You're lying," she hissed through her pain, "They will come." Though, in her heart, she still held doubts. Maybe they wouldn't look for her, maybe they really didn't care, and maybe Beast Boy had given up, given up his promise to her.
"Wait," Beast Boy called out to her, he wasn't done just yet, "I'll do better next time, just for you, I promise."
He finished, Beast Boy could feel the heat rising up in his cheeks, and Raven could too. "Good," She finished simply, and disappeared down the hall, she didn't want it to sound cold, but it did, and she knew it would break bb's heart.
'Well, maybe if you hadn't been so cold' A voice in her head responded, 'He would be doing better this time, he would be looking for you' The words resounded in her head as they sank in, but she wouldn't except it.
"No!" she screamed out loud, "He will keep his promise to me, he, and all of my friends will come, and I have no reason to fear you!" She yelled at Slade, angry at the way he had responded, angry at the voice in her head, but not angry at her friends, because she knew they were coming.
"It's a damn cold night
Tryin' to figure out this life
Won't you, take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new?
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you
I'm with you"
"He? Who, which he?" Slade asked, breaking away her shield, so that he could finally break her spirit, and use her for a much greater purpose.
"Like I would ever tell you!" Raven spat, she couldn't believe how nosy he was being with her. "I should just ignore you until they find me, you aren't getting under my skin" She warned him, slumping down against the wall, she drowned out his voice, listening to the reassuring rain, glad that it was there.

"I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know?
Cause nothing's going right
And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone"
The rain had completely washed away Raven's scent, blending it with that of every other scent that clung to the air, forming the mixed aroma of rain. The scent had stopped near three warehouses, each having an equal chance of being Slade's hide-out.
Robin had split them up a few minutes ago, going with Cyborg, Star and BB went alone, they were given one simple order, call if you found anything.
Robin had specifically told them to contact each other if they found anything, and not to fight alone. 'Well, duh' Beast Boy thought as he trudged up to his assigned warehouse, eager to find Raven and get home, he hoped she wasn't lonely, at least, not as lonely as he felt.
"Just hang in there Rea," He said to the air before him, "I'm coming, and I'm not leaving without you."
Just as a loud scream of pain rang through the air, and his heart gave a jump.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX-Raven's POV-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home?"
A loud and sharp 'crack' ran through the air of the warehouse, followed by a scream of pain, ripping through the sheets of rain, straight from Raven's soul, as tears ran down her face, her powers not responding to her sudden fear, leaving her to bleed red.
"Don't EVER talk to me like that!" Slade yelled, holding a bloodied whip at his side. His harsh voice echoed through the empty warehouse, making a certain green teen's face tighten in fear as he sped up to the door, his anger blinding his senses.
Blood dripped down Raven's leg from the huge gash in her calf, the fresh cut still stinging from the force of the whip.
"It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you, take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new?
I don't know who you are but I
I'm with you
I'm with you"
"Raven!" The cry came, flying through the warehouse. Beast Boy landed between Raven and Slade, his anger mounting as Slade began to laugh.
"Wow, I guess this is the guy you were talking about?" Slade asked, almost laughing behind his hateful tone. "Well, you proved me wrong Raven, and now you can die together, like killing two birds with one stone."
Raven's vision was blurring with red and black, but she could just make out Beast Boy's lean figure, he said something to her, something that she had never expected to hear, but still loved hearing.
"Raven, I'm gonna get you out of here, or die trying," He told her, "Because I can't live without you."
"Why is everything so confusing?
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)"
The words sang in Raven's heart, not knowing exactly what he said, but she could tell exactly how he felt, and she wanted to tell him, tell him that she felt the same way. But the words escaped her, as her consciousness slipped away.
"Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are, but I
I'm with you
I'm with you"
The rain pounded harder as Slade whipped Beast Boy's communicator away, and Beast Boy was alone once again.

Wow, that was weird. If you don't like the songfic, then fuck you. I was in a songfic mood.
Plus, when I make a songfic, I make a very long chapter, so yay for you.
These aren't all of the words to the song, but I ran out of chapter, so, yah.
Well, have fun with the rest of the party! (Run over to dunk tank) I'm gonna watch the fireworks!
Keep the faith and bash Terra on a regular basis, don't forget to review!
