A/N: So, in the time it's taken me to post one chapter, my little sister has posted three. Somehow that doesn't seem quite right. Oh well, I'm posting now.

I'm sure you all were just on your tiptoes waiting to see who would win so here you are:

Poll Results:

Raven: ---------------------A lot

Cyborg: --------------------One

Beast Boy: ----------------

From this ehh detailed um...Chart thing, you can see that RAVEN is our winner. I now take the time to thank all of you who voted. If I didn't count your vote, I meant to the chart just looks really cool this way, and it gets to the point. Anyway enough author's notes, I'm sure you all want to get to the point.

"Robin I am truly sorry for crying, I just could not keep the tears from falling. I... When I tried to use my powers... I felt like I was being torn apart. It was truly awful." Starfire apologized for what must have been the hundredth time.

"Starfire, it's okay. Maybe you're still a bit weak from being sick. You don't have to apologize." Robin told her what he must have already told her many times.

"But I am not feeling ill. I am shaken, but the only cause is that I can not use my powers. I... I want to try again." She insisted.

"Star, I don't want you to get hurt. It could be that you just can't, not matter how hard you try, I don't know but Star-" Starfire cut him off:

"Robin, I want to do this. I must try, we must find a way out of this place, if I could melt the door, then, maybe we could leave."

"Okay, I guess, but don't hurt yourself. If you feel... Like you're being 'torn apart' just stop."

"Very well." Starfire said, lifting her right arm. Her hand did not glow. Her eyes did not glow. Robin was confused about what was going on. Suddenly Starfire turned around, her eyes and her hands glowing, Robin even in his confusion noted that her steps looked, forced. Almost as if against her will.

"Starfire, what is going on? Why are you-"His words were cut off by a sires of Starbolts, aimed at his feet. Robin flipped backward to avoid being hit by the green fire. Starfire looked up, a fierce expression on her face, like she was trying to over come something within herself. Then her knees buckled, she had passed out.

"Not again." Robin said out loud. He took Starfire in his arms and put her back in bed. "Time for a plan, I have to figure out what is going on around here."

"You are sure this wasn't rigged?" Cyborg asked for the millionth time since the poll had opened, and for the millionth time Raven answered in her monotone voice:

"Positive."

"Fine. Well the results are in, and if you are really sure the vote wasn't a set- up, then I guess you're our official new temporary leader." Cyborg said cheerfully, as long as the leader wasn't Beast Boy, he could live with it. Beast Boy himself was not as pleased as Cyborg, but he simply stuck out his lower lip and dealt with it.

"I embrace the challenge." Raven said, a bit of sarcasm in her voice, obviously annoyed at the big deal Cyborg and Beast Boy were making out of this whole 'leader' thing.

"So, uh... I mean... Raven since you are our 'leader' what are we going to do to get Robin and Starfire back here? I mean, really, they have to come back soon, or at least write a letter." Beast Boy asked an equal amount of sarcasm in his voice. Cyborg looked around thoughtfully. Raven simply stared at the wall. There was complete silence, a rarity in Titans Tower. Unfortunately, Cyborg had to break that silence:

"Ya know you have a point there. They have to come back sometime soon... Wait! We could start by searching their rooms, we might find some hint of were they went." Cyborg was confident as he said this, sure he had hit a stroke of genius. Beast Boy's eyes lit up with the thought of going through other people's stuff, Raven however looked hesitant:

"I don't know... All people are entitled their privacy."

"Come on Raven, we have 'ta figure out were they are, I mean, what if we need them? What if there is some crisis, or something and we need their help?" Beast Boy begged, he obviously really liked the idea of searching someone's room, especially with permission.

"If you want, then you can, I will not join you. I must go meditate now." Raven replied. Turning her back on the boys, she headed up the steps to the elevator. Cyborg grinned and Beast Boy rubbed his hands together, both of them had mischievous expressions on their faces.

"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Cyborg exclaimed.

They had to wait for the elevator to come back before they could go up to the floor for the rooms, but they both managed to wait patiently. Five minutes later they were standing at the door of Robin's room. Cyborg opened the door and entered, Beast Boy following him.

It was dark in Robin's room. Cyborg turned on the light in his shoulder he found the light switch to the room and flicked it on. The furnishings were simple, there was a large dresser, a bed, a closet, and a table. The whole room smelled like coffee.

All the flat surfaces were covered in papers. On the ground next to the table there was a mini fridge filled with caffeenated soda and a bag of ground coffee beans, on the package it said, "Guaranteed to NOT let you Sleep."

On top of the fridge was a coffee machine. Between the fringe and the table there was a comfortable looking armchair. On the ground next to the chair there was a halt empty (half full?) mug of coffee, and floating on top of the coffee was a light green mold.

"Not the tidiest guy is he?" Cyborg commented. Beast Boy didn't hear what Cyborg had said, he had been staring at the room in awe.

"What? I didn't hear what you just said. Man, how does Robin keep his room so clean?" Cyborg gave his green friend a disgusted look, as he started to rummage though the papers on the table.

"BB, go look and see what he has on his dresser." Cyborg commanded. As Beast Boy made his way over to the dresser, he asked:

"What are we looking for?"

"I dunno, travel brochures, flight information, bus tickets, stuff like that. Wow, what's that?" Cyborg said, thinking out- loud.

He had just found a jeweler's receipt for a sapphire necklace, and stapled to it was a piece of paper with a sketch Robin had obviously drawn himself. It showed a chip attached to a necklace. Under the sketch there was some word and some numbers they read:

TRACKING #11-23-44-532-7980-18370-11220038

'Long tracking number.' He thought. Even though it had a drawing attached to it, he put it in the recites pile, he then continued looking through the rest of the stuff.

The boys spent the rest of the afternoon looking through all of Robin's papers. They found everything from old receipts to commentaries on codes used in the World Wars. Once they had gone through all the papers, Beast Boy opened one of the dresser drawers. "Cy, come here." He called. Cyborg crawled over to the dresser.

"All the drawers are full. That means he didn't come back to get any of his clothes." Beast Boy explained. Cyborg stood up and headed toward the closet. He opened it to see all Robin's formal outfits there, not one thing was missing.

"I wonder... if Robin left all his extra clothes here, and if Starfire left all hers two. Then if so, if they bought any new outfits, it would come out in our bank statement. Through the statement, we might be able to trace were they bought the new clothes. We might be able to figure out where they are!"

"Cyborg, that is real smart." Beast Boy commented.

"Yeah? Thanks. I guess we better check Starfire's room, then we can tell Raven."

"No." Raven interrupted. "Robin might have another bank account, if he does, then duh, he would get the money from there. Besides I'm sure they'll come home soon." She explained, trying to convince Cyborg and Beast Boy to stop bothering her with their silly-

"Dude, seriously, no money but the money we used was taken from our bank account since the day of Starfire's birthday party, either they've been wearing the same clothes for, like an entire week, or something is seriously out of whack." Beast Boy said interrupting her thoughts.

"Guys, maybe Robin simply had a different account, relax, everything is fine." She reassured him.

"Rae, remember that discussion about why we all use one account, remember, for tax purposes, or someth'in. Plus I called the people who sell the wedding licenses in this state, and they didn't issue one to Robin and Starfire. I just got this feeling that something's wrong. Now ya can either trust me, or not, but I really think we should really try to do something about all this." Cyborg reminded her.

"Fine. I'll see what I can do, but I... If Robin and Starfire just wanted to be alone, let them be. They could have gotten married in another state, it would take a long time to find out, and we really shouldn't be doing this. I guess, If you feel this strong about it..." Raven said, reluctantly giving in.

This was going to be a long evening...
