'"There are things that happen in life that occur when you least expect them to. Sometimes these things turn out to be really bad, but sometimes really good. And other times, they are a bit of each."' Raven quoted in her mind from a book that she had once read. It had been a sad, depressing book which is why she remembered it now. 'I think that right now, this whole situation is a bit of each. But I deeply feel that it is leaning more towards bad...'
Raven sat on her bed hugging her cloak tightly around her shoulders. Her face was stained with tears which continued to pour from her eyes. She had set up a row of various objects which she had "found" around the house on the floor in front of her. As soon as a new flow of tears left he-r eyes, she would concentrate her emotions on an object and destroy it with her grief so she didn't demolish her bedroom. She had already blown up Cyborg's MP3 player, Robin's sunglasses, Cyborg's oil can, one of Starfire's many stuffed animals, Cyborg's palm pilot, Beast Boy's game controller, and Cyborg's TV remote. More of the Titan's possessions lay ready on the floor.
'The "bad" part of all of this is that Beast Boy is... gone...' Raven sobbed which caused Cyborg's computer mouse to cease to exist. Raven hopelessly tried to calm her emotions but it was no use. All her life, she had kept her emotions inside. And now, she just couldn't anymore; it was too hard. It was much easier to just let them go. Raven had decided this as soon as the Titans (minus Beast Boy) had arrived back at the Tower after their last battle.
Starfire had run crying to her room, yelling, "He had saved my life!! He saved my life!!" Robin had looked as if he was going to follow her, but instead he went to his room to try to develop a plan for rescuing their green friend. Cyborg had taken one look at the couch where the two of them had spent so much time together playing their game system, and then went running off to his room bawling tears. Raven had stood alone in the house for a few moments after the other Titans had gone to there rooms. She then calmly, holding her own emotions inside, began to collect "useless" items from around the house. After she had amassed a large quantity of objects she went to her room and closed the door. None of the Titans came to check up on her. No one took the time to think about how Raven was handling the whole situation. None of them knew how she felt. They didn't know that she had strong feelings for Beast Boy or that everything that had happened that day had caused her to finally forget her curse and just let herself go.
Raven's eyes were blurred with tears, a sensation she had not experienced many times before in her life. Her room became distorted in her eyes and she could no longer tell where she was, but she did know how she felt. 'The only good thing about Beast Boy being gone... is that now I know I love him.' The rest of the objects that were on the floor exploded as soon as she thought the "L" word. The word is that strong.
Raven laid back on her pillows and was out cold. She still hadn't recovered fully from the battle, and crying her eyes out had just weakened her even more. The last explosion she had caused was just the final pull on her energy supply. She had nothing left to keep herself awake, so she slept.
Raven dreamt that she was searching for something, but whenever she thought she found it, it was snatched away from her. She was crying in her dream.
~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~
"YES! I HAVE HIM!" Chaos floated gracefully into her lair riding on the sheet of metal that she had used to escape from the mall after the battle. Silver and Cold both stood beside her on the metal sheet smiling evil, triumphant grins. The plan had been a success. She beckoned the cage which had been traveling slightly behind her throughout the entire trip from the mall to her lair. The bars on the cage were close together, too close for Chaos to easily see the boy, curled up into a ball, behind them.
The metal that Chaos was traveling on clanked lightly as in gently came in contact with the floor and then became still. She swiftly descended from the metal and approached the cage. Her minions quickly followed suit and walked beside her, also anxious to see their prize.
"Robin... now I have you... you're mine, my love." Chaos spoke sweetly and lustfully. She motioned to Silver who quickly ran off to enter a room that was almost hidden in the wall. Only on close examination could the door be detected in the metal panels which covered every surface in the room.
"YES FINALLY!!!" Chaos could barely hold in her joy. She spun around in circles, her cape floating lightly around her. She squealed with joyful laughter as she twirled. Her hair rippled in blue waves around her face and head. Cold stood off to the side, watching his mistress wonderingly.
Silver returned carrying a needle filled with a blue fluid. Chaos smiled and then motioned for the brothers to come with her as she approached the cage. She put her hands on the bars. Her eyes glowed blue and each strand of hair on her head stood erect. Blue magic flowed from her hands and engulfed every part of the cage. Chaos smiled and then stepped back, ceasing the blueness she had created. After a few seconds, the cage completely fell apart. The bars fell outwards, away from the inside. The top of the box floated a few feet to the left before it dropped slowly, hardly making a sound as it hit metal floor. As the cage fell away, the boy inside became quite visible.
A look of shock appeared on Chaos's face. "Wh-wh-WHAT IS THIS?!?" Anger filled her face and tears of fury and frustration filled her eyes. Beast Boy slowly uncurled himself and sat up, very stiff from the flight in the metal box. Chaos marched up to Beast Boy and pointed an angry finger in his face. "THIS ISN'T ROBIN!!" Beast Boy looked at the finger, a bit dazed. All of the metal everywhere made it hard for him to get his bearings. "YOU!" Chaos turned and faced her terrified underlings who were huddled together cowering at the anger being released from the girl. "YOU CAPTURED THE WRONG ONE! I LOVE ROBIN! I WANT ROBIN!"
"I-I-I'm s-sorry, Mistress Chaos." Silver flinched as the girl's eyes filled with fire as the glared at them.
"SORRY? YOU'RE SORRY!!" Chaos was in hysterics. Angry tears streamed down her face as she looked at the boys. "HOW COULD YOU?"
"Hey...!" Beast Boy was finally able to exit his daze. He looked up at the furious Chaos who turned around and faced him as he spoke. His voice contained a mocking hurt tone. "What's wrong with me?" He ran his hands through his hair jokingly, imitating the sexy gesture. "Everyone always wants Robin! Well is he really THAT much more handsome than me?!" Chaos glared at Beast Boy but the boy speaking to her calmed her down and she ceased her tears.
"Actually..." She looked at the boy sitting on the ground in front of her. "You really aren't all that bad looking." Beast Boy smiled devilishly. "But I love Robin, not you, Sugar. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to go nighty-night now." Chaos snapped her fingers, signaling Silver to approach them holding the big needle. Beast Boy gulped and the color drained from his face. Chaos held him in place by his metal belt so that he couldn't get away, even though he didn't try. Where was he going to run? The whole building seemed to be one big metal dome. He couldn't even see an exit anywhere. The only light shone from a few electric lights high above them on the ceiling.
Beast Boy flinched as the needle was injected into his arm, but he was determined not to show weakness in front of the girl, such as tears or a cry of pain. He would stay strong no matter what happened. 'At least it was me that she got instead of one of the other Titans... like Raven... all that matters is that Raven's safe....' Beast Boy thought as he felt the blue fluid enter his blood stream and begin to flow throughout his body. His eyes clouded up and then all he could see was black. His last thought echoed through his mind even though he was slipping out of consciousness... 'All that matters... Raven's safe... Raven's safe... Raven's safe...'
~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~
Starfire sat by her window, looking out at the blue sky stretching over the city. The clouds were so white and the sun shone so brightly. Birds sang as they flew happily through the sky. 'It is as if the world does not know what happened today.' Starfire thought as a tear fell from her eye.
She was very sad, yet she was mad at herself at the same time. Beast Boy being kidnapped caused her to be extremely depressed. She missed the funny green boy who was always cheering her and the other Titans up whenever they felt defeated or miserable. She didn't want Chaos to hurt him, or anyone else to for that matter. But she was also mad at herself. Whenever she thought about the events that had occurred, a thought would always pop into the back of her mind; a thought that she was ashamed to have. 'At least Chaos did not take Robin.'
Starfire released more tears as she thought this again. She hated herself for thinking the horrible thought, but she couldn't help it. For some unknown reason to her, she cared more about Robin than she did for anyone else. She always thought about him, and always wanted to be near him.
She wiped the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand but only succeeded in making the wetness cover her entire face. She looked out the window and watched a cloud float by.
There was a knock at her door. 'Robin?' Starfire thought hopefully as she turned to face the door. She really wanted to be alone but if it was Robin then she could make an exception. "Starfire?" The voice was deep and low, but not Robin's voice. Starfire turned away from the door and looked out the window, fresh tears now streaming down her face.
"Go away! I wish to be alone."
"Star?" Cyborg opened the door and looked at the girl, crying on the windowsill. He looked as if he, too, had been crying. When Starfire turned angrily to tell him to go away again she immediately felt ashamed of herself. He looked so sad.
"Yes, Cyborg? What do you wish to ask me? Did you wish to ask me a question?" Starfire felt as if Cyborg wanted to ask her something. Cyborg nodded and the walked over to the windowsill. Starfire moved over so Cyborg could sit down.
"I was wondering if you had seen my MP3 player or computer mouse... I can't find them anywhere..." Cyborg looked at his hands as he asked the question, eyes wide and blank.
"No, I have not seen either of those items in quite a long time," Starfire answered. She looked at the expression on his face. 'He looks like he wants to ask something more,' Starfire thought. "Cyborg, is there something else you wish to ask me?"
Cyborg looked up from his hands and into Starfire's eyes. "Do you really think he'll be okay? Do you really think we'll get him back?"
Starfire was surprised by this question, and her surprise showed on her face. She thought a moment before answering, her voice full of confidence and reassurance. "I DO think that we will retrieve Beast Boy from Chaos. Robin is working hard right now on finding him. I am sure we will be able to get him back." Starfire put her hand on Cyborg's shoulder and looked him in the eye. A tear left the big robot's eye but he quickly brushed it away. She nodded her head to show him that she meant what she said. He smiled slightly and nodded back.
"Thanks, Star. You don't know how much you saying that makes me feel better." Cyborg still looked very upset. "I think I'll go and check up on Robin, see how far he's gotten with the investigation." Cyborg sniffed and rubbed his eyes, trying to remove the extra liquid. Cyborg walked to the doorway but then stopped as Starfire began to speak.
"We will get him back. We have to."
"I know, Star," Cyborg said gently. He then walked out of the room and softly closed the door behind him.
~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~**~~~
Robin flipped through the pages of a book. He cried out in frustration as he slammed the book shut and threw it onto the table. Papers scattered and floated onto the floor. Robin cursed under his breath as he bent down to pick them up. He had found a few leads to where Beast Boy might be and he had thought of some plans on how they could get him back. He still didn't have enough information yet to know exactly what they were up against and how they could really save him.
Robin sat on this bed and rubbed his forehead with his hand. He knew he was making progress, but it didn't feel that way to him. It felt as if he had accomplished nothing in the three hours since the Titans had arrived home and he had isolated himself in his room in order to devise one of his famous plans. A plan that was not coming so easily to him this time. 'I don't know how much time I have before Chaos does something to him. I have no idea what she will do... I don't know how she thinks yet. Why did it have to be a NEW villain? I don't know what she was planning on doing to me when she got me. She's going to be very mad when she finds out she got the wrong Titan. Maybe she'll take her anger out on him... I HAVE TO STOP HER!!'
Robin sighed and released his anger, calming himself. He knew that being heated would only cause him to miss important details or pass by just the right article that he needed to read. He was mad, nonetheless. 'I should have been the one to be taken.' He kept saying to himself. 'Beast Boy shouldn't have gotten in the way...' He knew that this was wrong, though. Beast Boy had done what any of the Titans would have done for their team mates. Robin knew he would have done the same thing if any other Titan was about to be taken. He would take their place. That's who he was; that's what he'd do. He didn't know that Beast Boy was so loyal. He never would have guessed that he would have done what he had done. Robin had a new respect for the green boy, a respect that ignited his desire to save him even more.
"Hey, Rob?" Cyborg knocked as he opened the door. He looked sadder than Robin had ever seen him before. The sight of him made Robin feel even more depressed. "Have you seen my computer mouse? I can't use my computer without it. I also can't find my MP3 player... there's a song I wanted to listen to on it... it's from a CD BB gave me, but I can't find the CD so I need the MP3 player to listen to it..." Cyborg looked as if he was going to loose his calmness and break down at any moment. He had gotten worse ever since he had left Starfire's room.
Robin got off his bed and walked over to the big robot. Cyborg sniffed, trying to keep his cool. Robin put his hand on the mechanical teen's large shoulder. "It's okay, Cy...... I miss him, too..." Cyborg nodded gratefully at Robin. He looked up and noticed the table in the middle of the room covered with Robin's research.
"Have you found any leads yet?" Cyborg asked hopefully. Robin took his hand off the robot's shoulder and walked over to the table. Cyborg followed and then stood next to the boy.
Robin picked up some papers, stared at them blankly, and sighed. "I haven't found much useful information yet..." Robin said to Cyborg as he continued to stare vacantly at the table. Cyborg's face drooped as he, too, stared blankly at Robin's research lying all over the table.
"I could help you research, Robin," Cyborg said gently after they had stood in silence for quite some time. Robin looked up at Cyborg taken aback. He hadn't expected Cyborg to offer to help him. He usually did all of their investigations on his own.
"Sure, Cy... if you want to. I could use all the help I can get," Robin said sporting a half smile as he looked up at his big friend.
Robin picked up a book and offered it to Cyborg. Cyborg shook his head and turned down the offered book. "I like the more high-Tec ways of researching, Rob."
Cyborg smiled and then walked over to Robin's computer. He sat in the computer chair and brought up a new search engine, minimizing the one's Robin already had up. Cyborg cracked his knuckles and then grabbed hold of the mouse. "Good thing you still have YOUR mouse," Cyborg said as the two of them got to work.
Robin looked up from a book he was scouring at Cyborg who was quickly scanning articles on the internet. Robin whispered so softly that he could barely hear himself. "We'll get you in no time now, Beast Boy. Don't worry, we're coming."

More of the Titan's possessions lay ready on the floor.
'The "bad" part of all of this is that Beast Boy is... gone...' Raven sobbed which caused Cyborg's computer mouse to cease to exist. Raven hopelessly tried to calm her emotions but it was no use. All her life, she had kept her emotions inside. And now, she just couldn't anymore; it was too hard. It was much easier to just let them go. Raven had decided this as soon as the Titans (minus Beast Boy) had arrived back at the Tower after their last battle.

"YES! I HAVE HIM!" Chaos floated gracefully into her lair riding on the sheet of metal that she had used to escape from the mall after the battle. Silver and Cold both stood beside her on the metal sheet smiling evil, triumphant grins. The plan had been a success. She beckoned the cage which had been traveling slightly behind her throughout the entire trip from the mall to her lair. The bars on the cage were close together, too close for Chaos to easily see the boy, curled up into a ball, behind them.
The metal that Chaos was traveling on clanked lightly as in gently came in contact with the floor and then became still. She swiftly descended from the metal and approached the cage. Her minions quickly followed suit and walked beside her, also anxious to see their prize.
"Robin... now I have you... you're mine, my love." Chaos spoke sweetly and lustfully. She motioned to Silver who quickly ran off to enter a room that was almost hidden in the wall. Only on close examination could the door be detected in the metal panels which covered every surface in the room.
"YES FINALLY!!!" Chaos could barely hold in her joy. She spun around in circles, her cape floating lightly around her. She squealed with joyful laughter as she twirled. Her hair rippled in blue waves around her face and head. Cold stood off to the side, watching his mistress wonderingly.
Silver returned carrying a needle filled with a blue fluid. Chaos smiled and then motioned for the brothers to come with her as she approached the cage. She put her hands on the bars. Her eyes glowed blue and each strand of hair on her head stood erect. Blue magic flowed from her hands and engulfed every part of the cage. Chaos smiled and then stepped back, ceasing the blueness she had created. After a few seconds, the cage completely fell apart. The bars fell outwards, away from the inside. The top of the box floated a few feet to the left before it dropped slowly, hardly making a sound as it hit metal floor. As the cage fell away, the boy inside became quite visible.
A look of shock appeared on Chaos's face. "Wh-wh-WHAT IS THIS?!?" Anger filled her face and tears of fury and frustration filled her eyes. Beast Boy slowly uncurled himself and sat up, very stiff from the flight in the metal box. Chaos marched up to Beast Boy and pointed an angry finger in his face. "THIS ISN'T ROBIN!!" Beast Boy looked at the finger, a bit dazed. All of the metal everywhere made it hard for him to get his bearings. "YOU!" Chaos turned and faced her terrified underlings who were huddled together cowering at the anger being released from the girl. "YOU CAPTURED THE WRONG ONE! I LOVE ROBIN! I WANT ROBIN!"
"I-I-I'm s-sorry, Mistress Chaos." Silver flinched as the girl's eyes filled with fire as the glared at them.
"SORRY? YOU'RE SORRY!!" Chaos was in hysterics. Angry tears streamed down her face as she looked at the boys. "HOW COULD YOU?"
"Hey...!" Beast Boy was finally able to exit his daze. He looked up at the furious Chaos who turned around and faced him as he spoke. His voice contained a mocking hurt tone. "What's wrong with me?" He ran his hands through his hair jokingly, imitating the sexy gesture. "Everyone always wants Robin! Well is he really THAT much more handsome than me?!" Chaos glared at Beast Boy but the boy speaking to her calmed her down and she ceased her tears.
"Actually..." She looked at the boy sitting on the ground in front of her. "You really aren't all that bad looking." Beast Boy smiled devilishly. "But I love Robin, not you, Sugar. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to go nighty-night now." Chaos snapped her fingers, signaling Silver to approach them holding the big needle. Beast Boy gulped and the color drained from his face.

There was a knock at her door. 'Robin?' Starfire thought hopefully as she turned to face the door. She really wanted to be alone but if it was Robin then she could make an exception. "Starfire?" The voice was deep and low, but not Robin's voice. Starfire turned away from the door and looked out the window, fresh tears now streaming down her face.
"Go away! I wish to be alone."
"Star?" Cyborg opened the door and looked at the girl, crying on the windowsill. He looked as if he, too, had been crying. When Starfire turned angrily to tell him to go away again she immediately felt ashamed of herself. He looked so sad.
"Yes, Cyborg? What do you wish to ask me? Did you wish to ask me a question?" Starfire felt as if Cyborg wanted to ask her something. Cyborg nodded and the walked over to the windowsill. Starfire moved over so Cyborg could sit down.
"I was wondering if you had seen my MP3 player or computer mouse... I can't find them anywhere..." Cyborg looked at his hands as he asked the question, eyes wide and blank.
"No, I have not seen either of those items in quite a long time," Starfire answered. She looked at the expression on his face. 'He looks like he wants to ask something more,' Starfire thought. "Cyborg, is there something else you wish to ask me?"
Cyborg looked up from his hands and into Starfire's eyes. "Do you really think he'll be okay? Do you really think we'll get him back?"
Starfire was surprised by this question, and her surprise showed on her face. She thought a moment before answering, her voice full of confidence and reassurance. "I DO think that we will retrieve Beast Boy from Chaos. Robin is working hard right now on finding him. I am sure we will be able to get him back." Starfire put her hand on Cyborg's shoulder and looked him in the eye. A tear left the big robot's eye but he quickly brushed it away. She nodded her head to show him that she meant what she said. He smiled slightly and nodded back.
"Thanks, Star. You don't know how much you saying that makes me feel better." Cyborg still looked very upset. "I think I'll go and check up on Robin, see how far he's gotten with the investigation." Cyborg sniffed and rubbed his eyes, trying to remove the extra liquid. Cyborg walked to the doorway but then stopped as Starfire began to speak.
"We will get him back. We have to."
"I know, Star," Cyborg said gently. He then walked out of the room and softly closed the door behind him.

Robin flipped through the pages of a book. He cried out in frustration as he slammed the book shut and threw it onto the table. Papers scattered and floated onto the floor.

Why did it have to be a NEW villain? I don't know what she was planning on doing to me when she got me. She's going to be very mad when she finds out she got the wrong Titan. Maybe she'll take her anger out on him... I HAVE TO STOP HER!!'
Robin sighed and released his anger, calming himself. He knew that being heated would only cause him to miss important details or pass by just the right article that he needed to read. He was mad, nonetheless. 'I should have been the one to be taken.' He kept saying to himself. 'Beast Boy shouldn't have gotten in the way...' He knew that this was wrong, though. Beast Boy had done what any of the Titans would have done for their team mates. Robin knew he would have done the same thing if any other Titan was about to be taken. He would take their place. That's who he was; that's what he'd do. He didn't know that Beast Boy was so loyal. He never would have guessed that he would have done what he had done. Robin had a new respect for the green boy, a respect that ignited his desire to save him even more.
"Hey, Rob?" Cyborg knocked as he opened the door. He looked sadder than Robin had ever seen him before. The sight of him made Robin feel even more depressed. "Have you seen my computer mouse? I can't use my computer without it. I also can't find my MP3 player... there's a song I wanted to listen to on it... it's from a CD BB gave me, but I can't find the CD so I need the MP3 player to listen to it..." Cyborg looked as if he was going to loose his calmness and break down at any moment. He had gotten worse ever since he had left Starfire's room.
Robin got off his bed and walked over to the big robot. Cyborg sniffed, trying to keep his cool. Robin put his hand on the mechanical teen's large shoulder. "It's okay, Cy...... I miss him, too..." Cyborg nodded gratefully at Robin. He looked up and noticed the table in the middle of the room covered with Robin's research.
"Have you found any leads yet?" Cyborg asked hopefully. Robin took his hand off the robot's shoulder and walked over to the table. Cyborg followed and then stood next to the boy.
Robin picked up some papers, stared at them blankly, and sighed. "I haven't found much useful information yet..." Robin said to Cyborg as he continued to stare vacantly at the table. Cyborg's face drooped as he, too, stared blankly at Robin's research lying all over the table.
"I could help you research, Robin," Cyborg said gently after they had stood in silence for quite some time. Robin looked up at Cyborg taken aback. He hadn't expected Cyborg to offer to help him. He usually did all of their investigations on his own.
"Sure, Cy... if you want to. I could use all the help I can get," Robin said sporting a half smile as he looked up at his big friend.
Robin picked up a book and offered it to Cyborg. Cyborg shook his head and turned down the offered book. "I like the more high-Tec ways of researching, Rob."
Cyborg smiled and then walked over to Robin's computer. He sat in the computer chair and brought up a new search engine, minimizing the one's Robin already had up. Cyborg cracked his knuckles and then grabbed hold of the mouse. "Good thing you still have YOUR mouse," Cyborg said as the two of them got to work.
Robin looked up from a book he was scouring at Cyborg who was quickly scanning articles on the internet. Robin whispered so softly that he could barely hear himself. "We'll get you in no time now, Beast Boy. Don't worry, we're coming."

Yes, this is the end of chapter 6! I'll get working on number 7 really soon! It's spring break for me now. My b-day is on Friday though, April 9, so I probably won't be writing then! That's almost a week away, so I'll have plenty of time to write. TIME TO ANSWER REVIEWS! _____________________________________________________________________
Just so none of you give me flaming reviews, I'll tell you now. That was NOT a romance scene between Starfire and Cyborg. FRIENDS! You all know what that word means right? Cyborg needed to talk so he went to Starfire first. Wouldn't you?
