Thank you Hawaiianborn14 for posting a review! Thank you for the compliment. It is much appreciated.
This is the second chapter in the story "Raven sweet Raven"
Feel free to review.
"Slade. What are you doing here?"
"Well, I thought I'd stop and leave some Christmas presents for you and your friends. But now that I know that your home, I don't have to be the only one to know the secret. I have planted bombs in various items around the tower. I have also planted a microphone and several cameras in personal items of yours like your capes and your mirror. If you try to remove the camera contact lens, I'll detonate the bombs. If you tell the others, I'll detonate the bombs. If you take out the microphone in your tooth, Ill blow the tower. Okay?"
He leaned over and patted Raven on the cheek.
"Azarath, Metrion…"
"Ah, I wouldn't do that if I were you. You see, if anything happens to me, the timers won't reset and the tower will be destroyed."
The lights blew up above them as Raven let her anger gain control. Suddenly, Slade's psycho robot minions surrounded her. Before they could do anything to her she phased into the floor and up to her room. She swiftly dressed and called the other Titans.
"Slade! He's here!" She screamed into her communicator.
"Raven, don't overreact. Slade is gone, Raven. You know that," replied the boy wonder.
"But…He…why won't you believe me?"
"Because you probably fell asleep and had a dream that Slade was there. He's gone, Rae. We'll be back to the tower soon.

She had to prove it to them. But, then Slade would find out and… She didn't even want to think about what would happen.
She understood why they wouldn't believe her. After all, they did have that incident a couple of weeks ago.
flashback
She was lying on her back on the roof with a knife in her hand. She had a long slit from her wrist to her elbow. She was found in a pool of blood that was black, not red.
They found her, clothes all torn, cape all ragged and a look of deep sadness upon her face. She had a tear on her cheek.
She woke up from her weeklong coma in the infirmary with Beast Boy by her bedside. He claimed to have been on watch duty, but something in his eyes told her differently.
"Why?" was the one thing he could come up with to say.
"My father." She lied
"I thought he was…"
"Dead? He is. Or he was the last time I checked."
"Your mind formed the illusion of him to try and make you think that this was caused by your father," Piped in Robin." Either that, or what you managed to say is a lie. What really happened, Rae?"
"What I told you is what I know. Somehow he's here and he tried to make me kill myself. Why don't you believe me?"
"Because your heart rate goes up every time you tell us this."
"So? Just because my heart rate goes up, automatically means that I'm lying?"
"Raven, we all like you. We like you a lot, but we need you to work out your problems. Now!"
End flashback
Maybe she should have gone somewhere else. She would at least have accomplished what she was trying to do.
Then she remembered the look in BB's eyes and his slight slip of tongue. Could there possibly be someone that cared for her unlike the caring that you get from a teammate? Maybe there was hope after all. Maybe there was a little bit of reason that she should live.
