Miyu: I'm so sorry for taking so long! But school started again and you know the drill.
Rain: If you quit with the excuses you can start the story sooner ya know.
Miyu: RIGHT! I don't own the Teen Titans but I really wish I did.
Rain: Wishes don't come true.
Miyu: Says you.

(Raven's room 9: 45 pm.)
Raven: (Opens her eyes and sits up) What? Where's Slade? Why…(Get's up and walks to the door opening it a crack.)
Terra: Will she be ok?
Cyborg: Ya, she should be conscious soon. She took a nasty punch to the head though. Another hit like that could leave her disabled.
Starfire: (Comes towards them from Robin's room)
Beast Boy: How's Robin doing?
Starfire: He feels like her injuries were his fault. He has locked himself in his room and refuses to come out. (Sighs) He says that when she awakens he will send her to Gotham City for protection.
Cyborg: He's taking things to hard. It was my fault for letting her go out at night. She hasn't learned enough defence.
Beast Boy: Come on this is Raven were talking about. Even if you had said no she would have left anyways.
Cyborg: Still…
Terra: (Looks at her watch) Yikes! It's already 10 o'clock; we should get to bed, I'll bet you that Slade's going to try something tomorrow morning.
Beast Boy: He does have a reputation for calling early. I'll see if Raven's ok. (Turns to the door and sees it open a crack) Huh? Was this open?
Cyborg: (Turns around) No…I closed it fully…(Opens the door but Raven's already back in bed) I guess I did leave it open. Come on, we should all go now. Who knows how loud we were. (Pushes everybody away from Raven's room)
Raven: (Waits for them to leave and then sits up) Gotham City? If I get sent there…it's only a matter of time till I get kicked out…(Get's up and looks out her window) If I stay here I may stay on the team but then I'd be putting everyone in danger…(Looks at the mountains and sees a small patch of lights on the side of the mountain halfway up.) Hmm…isn't that Riverview city? No one would think of looking there for me…would they? (Looks around and sees a piece of spare paper) If I leave them a note they may let me back on the team…and not look for me…
I'm sorry but it's for the best of everyone if I just leave until my powers come back…after all…Slade can't get me or you guys if he doesn't know were I am. I promise to return when my allergy wears off. Do me a favour and don't look for me…you wont find me. But just to keep you busy here's a clue…I'm in the last place you'd expect. (No not the Arctic BB) -Raven
Raven: (Folds the note and leaves it next to her bed on the nightstand. Takes out a backpack and stuffs a few items of clothing and a few necessities in it. Goes to her door and stops for a second. Looks down at her locket and sighs) I guess it's for the best…(Takes it off and notices for the first time a lock and key on it. Takes the key out and makes sure the lock is closed before putting the key in an envelope with another note to Beast Boy) Sorry guys…this is for you as much as it is for me. (Goes down to the garage and goes to her bike.) Knowing Cyborg this thing is loaded with transceivers and such (Takes out Cyborg tool box and gets to work) this could take a while…
(30 minutes later)
Raven: (Stands up and takes out the last homing devise.) Finally…(Looks around and sees the 35 transceivers and homing devices that were on the bike.) You'd think they expected me to run away…then again…that's kind of what I'm doing…(Get's on the bike and starts the engine) Goodbye everyone. I'll see you again sometime. (Leaves)
(Upstairs in Beast Boy's room)
Beast Boy: (Sits up and looks around) Huh? What woke me up…(Goes to his window and sees a dark dot skimming over the surface of the bay towards the shore.) What's that?
(Eyes widen) Oh no! That must be Raven! (Runs towards Raven's room and burst through the door) RAVEN! (Sees her empty bed) Oh no…oh no…CYBORG ROBIN! RAVEN'S GONE! (Cyborg and Robin run in)
Robin: What do you mean gone?
Beast Boy: Uh…not here…currently absent…GONE!
(Star and Terra run in)
Terra: Where's Raven?
Beast Boy: Gone!
Starfire: We must find her!
Cyborg: Come on, she might be downstairs! (Runs to the garage and sees the Transceivers everywhere) Damn! Guess that wont work.
Robin: We have to find her! What if Slade finds her…or what if her injuries get worse…or…or…
Beast Boy: (Comes in reading the note) Dude…she doesn't want us to go after her.
Robin: What do you mean? (Reads the note)
Starfire: Robin?
Robin: (Throws the note on the ground and crumples it with his foot.) I don't care if she doesn't want us to find her…we have to go anyways. TITANS GO!
(Back with Raven)
Raven: (Steers through the empty streets) At least I won't have any witnesses. (Sighs and looks back towards the tower) What the…(Sees the Titans flying towards the city) Guess I was too loud) Revs the engine and speeds the engine silently observed by Slade.
Slade: Poor kid'll do anything to keep her friends safe. (Smiles evilly) Make's there minds so much funner to mess with. (Disappears)
Raven: (Heading towards the mountains) If I get to the tree line I can take the rural streets all the way to Riverview and no one will know.
(With the Titans)
Starfire: (Into the communicator) I'm sorry Robin, she is not downtown.
Beast Boy: (Morphs into a human and perches on the large bridge) Ya, she ain't heading to Gotham City either.
Robin: Of course she isn't, she said she didn't want to go there remember?
Cyborg: Then were did she go? There aren't many cities around here that you can go to without a plane.
Terra: Ya, and the Airport police have been notified; they wont let her on a plane.
Aqualad: (Underwater) Why don't we meet at the Tower and tick off the nearby cities. Maybe the answer is in a map.
Beast Boy: Dude…that's weird enough to be true.
Robin: All right then, everyone meet at the Tower. I'll find the neighbouring cities.
(Back with Raven)
Raven: (Looks up at the sky) Almost morning. I'd better get a move on it if I want to get there soon. (Makes the bike go faster. Sees a sign that says RIVERVIEW CITY NEXT EXIT.) Better turn here. (Takes the exit and begins seeing scattered horse farms along the road.) Of course, Riverview is just a small town surrounded by a bunch of farms.
(A.N: It's till pretty dark mind you.)
Raven: (Doesn't notice a small rock a few meters ahead) I wonder were the inn is? I could probably get a good- (Her bike hits the rock, and since she's going so fast she speeds out of control and hits a tree…hard.) Ow…(Feels her head were she was hit before and feels the injury get worse.) Aww damn…(Blacks out)
Boy who lives at the farm she crashed into: Hey Grandpa, what was the noise? (Goes out side and sees Raven) GRANDPA THERE'S A GIRL OU HERE!
Grandpa: (Comes out and sees Raven) Well don't just stand their boy we've got to get her to the hospital, call the ambulance.
Boy: Got it. (Goes to call the hospital)

Miyu: (Sighs unhappily) This wasn't as sad and drastic as I hoped it would be…
Rain: Does it have something to do with all the sugar your eating?
Miyu: (Looks at the chocolate in her hand) Chocolate isn't sugar.
Rain: Yes it is you idiot.
Miyu: (Stick out her tongue) Mind your own business Rain.
Rain: Whatever. REVIEW!
