Author Notes: I've been thinking about couples and most definitely it'll be Starfire/Robin so we're left with Cyborg, Raven, Slade and Beast Boy. Cyborg is more brotherly. So what if it's a Slade/Raven/Beast Boy triangle? Better yet throw in Terra for some fun. Instead of a triangle we now have a square. I can find a way to throw Terra into the mix. So what do you think?

Chapter 3

"It's my fault."

"Dude, you can't blame yourself." Beast Boy said.

"Well Robin was the one who left her alone block…" Cyborg said. He was angry that Robin had ran off and left Raven to fight Cinderblock.

The Titans had just returned to the tower after searching the entire city for their lost comrade. The search was a total failure so they had decided to return home to recuperate and think of a plan.

Cyborg frowned. "You always told us to never let our emotions cloud or choices in battle, but guess what Robin you allowed your emotions to cloud your choices and because of that Rae's gone!"

"Please we must not blame each other for the losing of Raven." Starfire said, she hated to see her friends bickering amongst each other and she herself felt that she was partly to blame after all it was she who Robin deserted Raven for.

"No he's right Starfire, if I hadn't left her to fight him alone she'll still be here" Robin said. He felt so guilty, instead of sticking by Raven's side in the heat of battle he had ran of to see if Starfire was okay. He deserted Raven and now she was gone.

"I know Raven could have taken him out with ease, but he seemed stronger...much stronger." Cyborg changed the subject and averted his gaze from Robin. "He actually did some serious damage." He flexed his arm which had been damaged in the fight but had been properly repaired by him.

"Yeah" Beast Boy said as he rubbed his aching nose.

Robin frowned. "So how did he get stronger? And if he took Raven, what does he want with her?"

"Yes, what does he want of our friend?" Starfire said.

"I'm sure he didn't take Raven for himself, Cinderblock isn't exactly a mastermind at making plans, especially kidnapping."

"Cyborg's right, Cinderblock is a real blockhead." Beast Boy snickered.

Robin nodded. "That means he's working for somebody," his eyes narrowed.

Raven groggily opened her lavender eyes and tried to bring a hand up to her throbbing head but found that she could not her hands were chained to a wall.

"Glad to see that you're finally awake." A shadowy figure stood a few meters in front of her.

Raven's eyes widened in surprise but her surprise soon turned to anger. "Slade!" she spat as the figure stepped into the dim light of the room.

He smirked. "It's good to see you too, Raven."

Raven's eyes narrowed she had to get out of here. "Azarath Metr-" her words were cut off by her own screaming as what felt like an electrical pulse flowed through her body. When it finally stopped she was gasping for breath and her eyes were almost closed.

"A little precaution" Slade said as he used one finger to tap his head.

Raven couldn't see it but she knew from his gesture that there was something on her head. Something that wasn't there before and that something had hurt her.

"Can't have you escaping, now can I?" Slade said as he gazed at her.

"My friends will come for me."

"The Titans? I'm hoping that they do." Slade chuckled. "But they won't be your friends anymore" he added as he walked to a table a picked up a syringe filled with an odd colored liquid. "I'll be your only friend Raven." Slade murmured as he walked towards her with the syringe in his hand.

"Two days and still no sign of her" Robin said as he paced up and down the room.

"I am sure Raven is unharmed." Starfire said as she floated near him.

Robin frowned. "I hope you're right Star."

"I miss her, although she never laughed at my" Beast Boy said. And his gaze lowered to the ground.

Robin nodded. "We all do, how's the tracking device coming along Cyborg?" He and Cyborg still hadn't forgiven him but they had to work as a team if they wanted to find their friend.

"Well by using one of our communicators and the same signal we use to contact each other I should be able to find the exact location of our girl, of course it'll only work if she still has her communicator."

"Let's hope she does," Robin said. This was there only chance of finding Raven and he hoped it worked.

Cyborg closed the back of the communicator in his hand. "Here goes." He pressed the small button and waited. They all held their breath until they heard a faint beeping noise.

"Alright it worked!" Cyborg said.

"Cool let's go save Raven!"

"Yes, let us save our friend!"

Robin remained silent.

Beast Boy looked at him. "Dude are you okay?"

"We still aren't sure if Raven actually has her communicator."

Starfire looked at their pessimistic leader. "Do not worry Robin we will save Raven."

"We better." Cyborg said as he had a stare down with Robin.

It didn't take the Titans long to arrive where the signal was coming from. Cyborg, Starfire and Beast Boy climbed out of the T-Car while Robin climbed off his motorcycle.

"You sure this is the place Cyborg?" Robin asked as he took of his helmet.

"Yes I'm sure" Cyborg said as he looked at the communicator then at the warehouse in front of them. "The signal is coming from inside."

"Alright team, be careful, we don't know who or what's in there." Robin said going into leader mode. "Let's go save Raven." He grinned then ran towards the warehouse with his teammates not to far behind him. "Beast Boy, the door."

"Right" Beast Boy said as he ran in front of his friends then changed into an ox and slammed through the steel like door with immense force. He skidded to a stop inside and changed back into his normal form.

"Raven's communicator is definitely in here." Cyborg said as he and the others walked in behind Beast Boy. His communicator was beeping rapidly and the noise was getting louder.

"What is this place anyways? Some type of lab?" Beast Boy said as he looked around at the tables filled with strange chemicals and devices.

"My lab to be exact."

Robin's eyes narrowed. "Slade" he sneered as the villain's came into view.

"Robin" Slade smirked. He found it amusing how obsessed Robin had become with defeating him.

"Where's Raven?" Cyborg yelled as he aimed his sonic cannon at the man.

Slade said nothing.

Suddenly a shadow hovered over Cyborg and he barely avoided the concrete fist that came slamming down on where he once stood.

Robin eyed Cinderblock who had just appeared in the room yet never took his eyes off Slade. "You guys can handle him, Slade's mine." Robin said as he took out his staff and it extended to its full length in his hand. He wasted no time and leapt into action attacking with precise blows which would have seriously damaged Slade if he hadn't been blocking each one. Robin paused in his attack when he heard a scream.

Cinderblock had grabbed Starfire by the throat and was now constantly smashing her into the ground causing the floor to break-up.

"Star!"

"Amazing isn't he? One simple device quadrupled his power." Slade said coolly.

Robin watched as Cyborg knocked Cinderblock off of Starfire then turned his attention back to Slade. "Just what are you up to?" he asked. "And where's Raven?"

"Raven, is she what you came for?"

Robin's eyes narrowed. "Where is she?" he growled out through clenched teeth.

"You'll see soon enough."

Robin's eyes flashed angrily as he jumped into the air and brought down his staff. Slade avoided the blow easily and kicked the teenager in the stomach. Robin used his momentum and his hand to flip into the air and land on his feet.

"Temper, temper."

Robin said nothing and charged at Slade again this time with a different plan in mind. Instead of attacking head one Robin used his staff as a vaulting pole and vaulted over Slade's head. This surprised the man so he had no time to move out of the way as Robin slammed the staff into his back sending him to his knees.

"I'm impressed" Slade breathed out.

"Where is she?" Robin walked in front of Slade and shoved his staff under his neck.

"Raven " the named rolled off of Slade's tongue easily.

Robin slowly removed his weapon from Slade's neck as a swirling vortex appeared in the floor behind the villain. "Raven?" he asked as he saw a slim figure wrapped in the usual blue cape rise from within the vortex.

Raven raised her head to reveal an evil grin on her once emotionless face and red glowing eyes.

Robin gasped. He had never seen Raven like this.

"Oh Robin, have you met my apprentice?" Slade laughed.

Here's the deal, I won't be wasting my time updating if I don't get some type of a reaction from the readers, so –shrugs-
