A great stirring of the oceans has awoken her.

She, Raven, awakens in a strange, foreign place. A place away from all of humanity and the rest of the world. Nobody knew where she was. Not even she herself knew!

She could be hundreds, thousands perhaps millions of miles away from the Tower.

The skies were grey and cloudy. The Waves gently swayed and the wind blew softly.

She was on a boat.

But to where?

Why was she on this boat?

What the hell was going on?

Unknown.

A stirring in her stomach startles her. 'I could use a little of Beast Boys surprise, in bed breakfast, right about now…' She looks around, searching for any signs of life or movement around her. No ports. No other boats.

Just her, all alone, on this strange, small boat.

'Fuck!'


"Raven! Friend Raven! Where have you gone, friend Raven!" Starfire called out. She was worried sick of her missing team mate, "Please Raven, if this is a game you are playing, you may now cease and desist! Please…"

"It's not use Star…" Cyborg solemnly entered, "She's gone…" He shook his head, gripping the Tamaran's shoulder.

Freeing herself from his rip, "NO! She is not gone! She did not leave us! She would never leave us! She is our friend and…" Starfire sighed, "You must not give up hope… Please friend Cyborg! You must help us on our search for our lost friend! It may not be too late!"

"Raven's a strong girl… I'm sure she is ok… But…" He sighed, shaking his head, "I guess a little searching wouldn't do any harm now, would it?" He smiled.

Starfire grinned, "That is the spirit!"

Meanwhile, somewhere else in the tower, Beast Boy was grieving the lost of his team mate. His friend, his partner.

'Goddammit! How could I be so stupid? Stupid Beast Boy! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!' He felt like he was about to just break down and cry. He loved her so much, but would never admit to it. He loved her like a sister. Perhaps more than that. He loved her, he cared for her, he wished her no harm! 'I shouldn't have meddled like that! I should have left her alone! I should of known she'd get pissed… like always…'

Fortunately, Beast Boy has never seen her angry. Only once, but that's was only for brief seconds. Set on some stupid criminal! Some stupid Dr. Light guy! Who gave a fuck?

'Fuck…'


"Aqualad?"

A swishing-swoshing sound in the waters below startled her.

"Is that you Aqualad? OH thank Azar…"

Raven was desperate for company. Any company.

Especially if that company was as sexy as Aqualad was…

She looked down from the boat, searching for any signs of the Titan.

"God damn fish…"


Meanwhile, in Atlantis, Aqualad was swimming with the fishes.

"Raven? OH she is quite the character. Wouldn't want to be in her company though… She gives me bad joo-joos…"

A school of fish suddenly swam by, dodging coral and reef.

"Speaking of bad joo-joos… I sense a storm coming…"

Beep Beep

Aqualad flipped on the communicator.

"Yeah?"


"OK team, " Robin, the unofficial leader of the group called out, regrouping his comrades, "I've called all the other Titans and allies… even the police and other search parties…"

"Oh joy! We are sure to find her now!"

"We'll find her in no time!" the boy wonder called out, "But keep your eyes peeled, they aren't the only ones capable of finding her…"

After breaking the news to everyone, he split the team into two. Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy would search the city, looking for any signs of Raven. He himself would stay there, searching from the Tower with the computer.

As soon as they all left, he broke down.

How could he let this happen? He was the leader! He was responsible for all of this! He should have been able to stop her, he should have been able to do something, he should have been there!

'Beast Boy would make a better leader then me! At least he attempted to do anything!'

He felt like crying, but he wouldn't. He has no more tears left to cry… crying gets you nowhere. Inside, he felt that he has failed the team. Failed everybody.

'Fuck…'


Lightning struck! The winds blew fiercely and the waves crashed onto the boat, rocking it and tossing it about the ocean current.

A squall!

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos… Azarath Metrion Zinthos…" She chanted to herself, over and over, trying to grab hold of the boat with her powers, and to keep herself from bursting in fear. She had to remain cool and calm. She had to remain diligent and disciplined. She had to control herself and remain strong in order to survive.

The boat was tossed around like a rag doll, Raven held on for dear life, her hair and cloak blowing in the cold air, it was freezing! It was intense.

She soon felt herself become numb and tired, "No!" She cried out, into the air, "Please, don't lose control! Stay awake! Be strong! You can do it Raven! Azarath Metrio-"

He calls her overtaken by a strong wave that pulled the boat underneath the surface and back up again.

She gasped for air, "Azarath… Metri… Zin…" Her chants became weaker and fainter, she began to lose her hold on the boat. Her vision began to fade. She couldn't think any longer. Her body was weak.

She collapsed.


"Any sign of Raven?"

"Nope, we searched everywhere…" Cyborg answered, as the group trudged in, after a long, tiring walk across the city.

"We've searched everywhere! The coffee shops, depressing cafes, the Hot Topics…" said Beast Boy.

"The mall of shopping and the clubs of getting jiggy with it, as you Earthlings say, and even the salons of beauty! But alas… we have come to failure." Starfire sighed, staring down onto the ground, "Things are becoming very, very bleak…"
