Chapter 1: Kidnap
The day was dull as the grey clouds of rain came across Jump City. Titans Tower stood alone there, the lights casting silhouettes of the five super hero's inside. Cyborg was arguing with Beast Boy and Raven was yelling at them to stop it. Black energy kept shoot out of the gem on her forehead and braking things. Sitting on the couch was Robin, face in his hands and growling angrily to himself. The arguing stopped abruptly as the three Titans looked over at him.
"What is it, Robin?" Raven asked her voice slightly hoarse from the yelling. Robin looked up.
"Slade." He said before getting up and stomping out of the room. They all looked at each other, concern on their faces.
"Man, he's done that a lot lately." Cyborg sighed. There was a large burp from Beast Boy and the remote splattered onto the couch.
"Hey, that's what I ate?" He exclaimed before shutting up as Raven glared at him.
"Where's Starfire?" She asked. All three of them looked around.
"I dunno. Maybe she is still in her room." Cyborg replied, scratching his head. Raven shook her head.
"No, she would have come out by now." She muttered.
"Dude, maybe you should go and check on her." Beast Boy shrugged. Raven phased through the floor, giving Beast Boy a look before doing so. Soon enough she was in Star's room. The bed cover lay strewn on the floor and a glass of water had tipped over and spilt on the bedside table.
"Starfire?" She asked in her monotone voice. There was no reply. Raven walked over to the window and drew back the curtains. She wasn't there either. Raven disappeared and searched on the roof. No Starfire there either. Robin suddenly came through the door.
"Have you seen Starfire?" The both asked each other. "No." They each replied. Raven shook her head.
"I thought she was acting odd last night. She went to bed at six." She said. Robin looked at her.
"I, I didn't notice. I was too busy with…"
"Slade." Raven finished for him. Robin nodded and took out his communicator.
"Starfire, Robin calling Starfire." He said. The communicator buzzed and turned black.
"Something's wrong." Robin said and he turned to Raven. "Call the team; tell them to search the city." Raven nodded and sank through the floor. Robin felt his heart pang for longing of his friend. He shook his head angrily and growled. He wanted her to know how much he loved her, but even though he was the Boy Wonder, he could never pluck up the courage. He looked up to the sky.
"C'mon Star, where are you?" He muttered before rushing out off of the roof.
It began to rain and thunder clapped in the sky, making the air tremble. Robin was on his R-cycle and was speeding through the dark city, the headlights blazing in front. He turned sharply and didn't bother waiting at the traffic lights. If anyone pulled him over, they would realise that he was one of the Titans and let him go anyway. Lightning began to flash in sky. The rain got heavier. Robin pulled in to a small alley and called Cyborg.
"Anything yet?" He asked as soon as the face of his friend appeared.
"No, man. Her trackers been dismantled and Beast Boy can't sniff her out." He replied sadly. Robin clenched his fists.
"What about Raven?" Robin asked, clinging onto the remaining strand of hope.
"She's is about to try." Cyborg replied. Robin could hear the doubt staining his voice.
"I should have asked her what was wrong." He snarled.
"Robin." Raven appeared on the screen, her eyes showing no emotion but her voice angry. "Don't blame yourself. None of this was your fault. Something must have spooked her, that's all."
"Yeah, but if I hadn't been so caught up with the Slade situation, she would probably not of gone." Robin bit his lip so hard that it began to bleed.
"Yeah, but if you weren't she'd probably still be gone. This happened last night, man, when we were all asleep."
"Carry on searching. When you get tired, get back to the tower." Robin ordered suddenly. Raven looked taken aback.
"What about you?" Cyborg asked, frowning slightly.
"I'm not coming back until I find Starfire." Robin growled. He ended the transmission and revved the R-cycle. He released the brake and surged forward, spray flying from his back wheel.
Raven sighed heavily. Beast Boy was in the rain outside and morphed into a hawk, while Cyborg walked away in the other direction. She was left alone in the T-car and was in a bad mood. But she began to levitate however and felt the power rising in her.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos." She breathed. A black cloud of energy appeared and formed into a raven. It passed through the roof and began to fly over the city. Beast Boy was buffeted by it, but saw what it was and decided not to insult it. The raven glided over the roof tops. Suddenly it sensed a presence. It was weak and Raven could feel lots of pain. The black raven tucked in its wings and passed into an abandoned warehouse. It was pitch black, but Raven could see perfectly. Then she saw her. Raven gasped as she saw the limp body of her friend laid on the cold floor. Her red hair was spread everywhere and her emerald green eyes were open looking terrified. Slashes and bruises were everywhere on her. Raven saw a man standing over her and caught a flash of silver. It was a syringe. He raised his arm and stabbed it into Starfire's left arm. She let out a small cry and the eyes closed. The emeralds died as her head flopped to her right. Raven heard the man laughing and felt hatred plagued with rage. The black raven suddenly broke and Raven yelled out. She gasped for air and reached forward.
"What is it?" Robin asked as he saw the look on Raven's face.
"I saw Starfire, Robin!" She said. "Someone has got her and trying to kill her with something." Robin felt a wave of panic.
"Do you know where?" He asked his voice higher than it usual would be. Raven nodded.
"It's in the old abandoned warehouse, south of the bank." She replied back. Robin ended the transmission. Fear for Starfire flooded through his veins and his heart was beating faster and faster. The R-cycle burst forwards, skidding on the wet road. But Robin didn't care. He needed to get to Starfire, before it was too late.
