DISCLAIMER: Following lengthy talks with DC Comics, WB Animation and other concerned parties (hereafter called 'Persons A'), it has emerged that I, JayBird0009 (hereafter refered to as 'Persons B') does in no way have any conections, nor can claim any ownership of 'Teen Titans', or related affiliates. Persons A have requested that Persons B stop calling and asking "Aw, come on. I only wanna own them for a few days!", and cease all contact with them. Persons B is well miffed.
SUMMARY: Robin and Raven go MIA. When the Titans find the pair, all is not as it seems...
NOTE: Sorry it's taken me AGES To update, I've been really ill. It sucks. Anyway, thanx for the reviews!

CHAPTER TWO
Raven slowly opened her eyes. She was in the sewers, in the room with the large tanks. She looked around her, regreting when she did. The sudden movement made her vision blur and her head pound. What had happened? One minute, she and Robin were chasing someone, the next she was here? Wait, Robin! She looked around herself again - this time moving her head a little slower. She spotted him lying not far away. She stood and walked over to him, feeling a little unsteady on her feet. "Robin?" She asked, kneeling beside him.
He rolled over onto his back. He slowly opened his eyes, blinking a few times before looking at her. "Raven?" He asked. She nodded. "What happened?" He asked. The last he could remember, they were chasing some guy under the city, now they were here.
"I don't know." She said, looking around herself again as if to find some answers.
Robin sat up. "Woh." He said, closing his eyes. His vision was swimming and he suddenly had a pounding sensation in his head.
"Are you OK?" Raven asked, looking at him concerened.
He opened his eyes. "Yeah." He said, reaching around to grab his communicator. "My com's gone." He said, looking confussed.
Raven checked her pockets. "Mine too."
"We should head back to the Tower." He said, standing. "If they're out looking for us we can contact them from there."
Raven stood and followed him back to the street.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
It didn't take them long to reach the Tower. It was dark and quiet when they entered. "Where are they?" Raven asked more to herself than Robin.
Robin shrugged. "Maybe they're still looking for us." He suggested.
They walked through the Tower making their way to the lounge. Robin walked in first. Cyborg and Beastboy were sitting on the sofa, watching TV. Starfire was no where to be seen. Raven walked in behind Robin. "Nice to see they're worried about us." She said dryly.
Cyborg turned around to face them. "Oh my God." He said, standing, but not moving.
Beastboy also turned around to face them. He didn't say anything, he just stared at them in silence.
"Erm," Raven said, feeling uncomfortable. "Do we have something on our faces?"
"Oh my God." Cyborg repeated.
Beastboy jumped over the sofa and ran over to them, hugging them both. "You're back!" He exclaimed. "I can't beleive you're back! Are you OK?"
"Erm, Beastboy." Robin said, breaking free of his grasp. "We've only been gone a couple of hours."
Cyborg - who had walked over to join them - looked at Robin with a puzzled expression on his face. He looked at Raven. "Erm," He turned to face Beastboy, who looked equally puzzled. "You've been gone for almost two weeks." He said, looking from Robin to Raven, his face now full of concern and worry.
"What!" Robin and Raven asked in unison, looking at each other.
"How is that possible? I mean..." Robin looked from Beastboy to Cyborg to Raven. "Wh..." He shrugged.
"We just woke up exactly where we were knocked out." Raven said, trying to control the rising feeling of panic she now had. "In the sewer."
Beastboy shook his head. "We went back there a million times." He said, sounding sad, "We found your comunicators, but you wern't there."
"I think we should go to the lab," Cyborg said, "Run a few tests on you, check everything's OK."
Robin and Raven nodded. How could they have been gone for almost a fortnight? What the hell had happened? "Where's Star?" He asked, sudenly realising she wasn't here.
"She out looking for you two." Cyborg said. "She took it pretty hard when we couldn't find you. She's been searching pretty much 24-7."
"I'll give her a call." Beastboy suggested. "Tell her you're back." He still sounded shocked. "I'll meet you downstairs."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Everything looks normal." Cyborg said, looking at the monitors. "Your systems looks clear, no micro-organisms." He shook his head. "No explanation. No nothin'."
As he finished, Beastboy entered the room, followed closely by Starfire. "Friends!" She shrieked, running over to them. "You are returned to us!" She tightly hugged Robin, then Raven. "You are well." She said, looking at them with a tear in her eye. "You are unharmed? Tell me, where have you been? We have been searching the high and the low for you." She looked at them, then, when they didn't answer, turned to face Cyborg. "Why do they not answer? they have lost their voices?" She asked, panic stricken. "Their memories!" She staretd to cry.
"Star." Robin said, standing and hugginf her slightly. "We're OK." She looked at him, unsure. "Honestly." Raven nodded as if backing up his story. "We just," He shrugged and turned to look at Raven quickly. "We don't know where we were. We don't remember."
"You..." She looked from Robin to Raven. "You cannot remember?" She asked, sounding puzzled. They both shook their heads.
"Their scan's are clear," Cyborg informed her and Beastboy. "But I think you should both stay here tonight, just incase." He said to Raven and Robin.
"Better to be safe than sorry." Robin said, heading back to his bed. He was supprised when he yawned. He hadn't though he was tired.
"We should let you get some rest." Beastboy said. "Glad you're back dude," He turned to face Raven. "Dudette." Raven scoffed at being called 'Dudette', if that was even a word - she highly doubted it. Beastboy smiled at them both and left. Cyborg said his goodbye's too before following Beastboy.
"I am happy you have both returned." Starfire said, smiling. "I shall make our friend the Tameranian pudding of Joy." She giggle slightly before leaving.
"Good luck Cyborg and Beastboy." Raven muttered.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Where was he, he didn't know. Robin walked slowly down the rocky path. It was pitch black all around him. He could sense he was being watched, but by who, or what, he couldn't tell. It was strange. In this dark place he found a strange sence of belonging. He felt strangly at home. He walked up some stone stairs into a cave. Or what he though was a cave. As soon as he entered it, he exited out of the otherside. It was lighter here. The path was lined with dead, wilted trees and what looked like stars lit the night sky. Raven's sat in the trees, watching his evert move. He was suddenly overwhelmed with a feeling of dread and fear. He could hear something not far off, though he wan't sure what. He carried on walking, though he could feel himself begin to panic. He didn't want to carry on, but he knew he had too. A part of him wanted to, to see what was ahead, waiting for him. He rounded a corner and found himself faced with a maze. He entered it cautiously, although he had the feeling he knew exactly where to go, he just didn't know where that was.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Raven wondered down the vast corridors of the house she was in. She had no idea where she was. The house was massive. She'd stumbled into at least nine bedrooms already, along with a library, a study and a very large dining room. Although she had no idea where she was, she felt strangly like she knew. The paintings on the walls had a strange sense of the familiar about them. She made her way across the large hall to a small door in the corner. It was a small room - or maybe a large cupboard - full of polished silver. She walked in and over to the corner, easily finding a small, concealed switch. She pressed it and a set of shelves moved aside revealing a set of stone steps downwards. She waslked down them and found herself in a cave. She walked in a little futher. There was a large sealed steel door to her left. She walked past it. She knew where she was. She was in the Bat Cave. But why the hell was she here? She walked onwards until she found another door. She walked through it.
She was in an circus. On a highwire platform. She looked around her - there was nobody about. She was about to turn around and climb down the ladder when she noticed two people on the platform opposite. A man and a woman. They were smiling, looking around them and waving as if to a crowd. Raven looked around herself again. She saw nobody. She looked down and noticed what looked like the Ringmaster. He was saying something to the invisable crowd, though she couldn't work out what. She turned her attention back to the couple on the other platform. She suddenly had a overwhelming fear. She had to stop them. She tried to call out, but couldn't speak. She watch on in horror as the couple both jumped into the air and grabbed hold of their trapeze. They swang out a few feet before the wire's snapped and they both fell to the ground. Raven watched on, unable to look away. She closed her eyes just before they hit the floor.
She wiped away the tear that ran dwon her cheek.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Robin woke with a start. That was, without a doubt, the strangest dream he'd ever had in his life. Where was he? He'd had a feeling on knowing in the dream, but now he was awake... He rolled over onto his side, wondering about the dream. It had scared him a little. He'd rememberd making ut of the maze, but he couldn't remember what had been on the other side. He closed his eyes and sighed before opening them again and looking at the clock. It was
am. Not much point in trying to go back to sleep, he though. He sat up and streched. He yawned a little. Then turned to face Raven. She was still asleep. She was frowning though. He wondered what she was dreaming about. Whatever it was, it didn't look that good. She muttered someting in her sleep before tossing sharply. He wondered for a moment if he should wake her. She seemed to be having a nightmare. He walked over to her bed. "Raven." He said softly. She muttered something agian, which sounded a lot like "No." He said her name again.
She gasped and opened her eyes. "Robin?" She asked, sounding supprised.
He nodded. "You were having a bad dream." He said, smiling a little at her.
"Oh." Was all she said, sounding relieved. "You're awake early." She said, looking at the clock.
He nodded, "Yeah." He said, sitting back on his bed. "I had the weirdest dream." He said, shaking his head.
"Me too." Raven said, sitting up. "I was in the Bat Cave for some reason." She shook her head.
"Yeah?" Robin asked. "I don't know where I was. It was real strange." He shrugged, looking at her. "It was dark." He informed her. "And there were trees. Dead trees." He shrugged. "I dunno."
"There was a circus too." Raven said. Robin's head shot up. "I was on a trapeze platform or something," She continued, not noticing Robin's reaction. "There were some people on the opposite one and..." She sighed.
"Were they in red?" Robin asked, sounding nervous of the answer.
Raven looked at him supprised. "Yeah." She said.
Robin looked at her. "Does a tall stone maze mean anything to you?" He asked. "With a dark cave. And rows of trees along a rocky path." He said.
She looked at him, her face registering what he was talking about. "Yes." She said flatly. Robin had had her dream. Her dream where she's wondering around her own mind, lost. Not sure what she's looking for. "You knew where you were going, but you didn't know where the path would end." She said, looking at the floor.
Robin nodded. "They fell, didn't they?" He asked. Raven nodded, still not looking at him. "We just had each other's nightmares." He said, standing and walking the length of the room, stopping when he reached the end of Raven's bed. "What the hell happened to us?" He asked.
TBC...
