Robin ran through the rain, dashing across empty streets in pursuit of the laughter he'd heard. He skidded to a sudden stop at an intersection and Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire nearly crashed into him from behind.

"Which way?" Raven's monotone was as emotionless as always. Robin paused, then, without a word, turned sharply right and sprinted down a narrow, dirty alley. Cy rolled his eyes as he followed.

"Someone sure is talkative today..." It was much drier in the alley, overhanging roofs providing protection from the downpour. But it was also pitch dark, a little gloomy light doing nothing more than highlight the shadows. And the laughter was only feet away! Robin squinted into the dark.

"Hey, Cy, Star, could you give us some light?" Cyborg lit a flashlight on his shoulder just as Starfire gathered a glowing ball of energy in one hand. The combined lights simultaneously tore through the shadows, showing the source of the laughter in stark relief.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Beast Boy was hopelessly tangled in the branches around him. Even when he tried to change into a mouse to wiggle out, vines just tightened around him faster than he could move. Suddenly, the branches sucked themselves into a crack between two trees, drawing Beast Boy with them. He didn't even have time to feel surprised before the tree limbs let go, dropping him into an inky black pit. After a second, he realized that he hadn't hit bottom yet. With a shock he realized that if the pit was really that deep, a fall might injure him- or even prove fatal. A cold draft of air wafted from below and Beast Boy snapped into falcon form, flying back up and calling as loud as he could in hopes his friends would hear. He tried to fly upwards in the confined space, straining to see the walls in the dark, when he slammed into something above his head: the tree roots had closed over the opening of the pit! Dazed, Beast Boy tried to fly upwards again, but hit the roots with even more force, nearly knocking himself unconscious. Too disoriented to keep an animal form, he changed to human, and fell back through the shadows.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"It's... a... CD player!" Cyborg looked at the box incredulously. "Man, I thought we were actually going to get to fight something!" Raven, Starfire, Cy, and Robin clustered around the cheap boombox. Robin folded his arms with a furious look on his face.

"I can't believe I fell for that. This is the stupidest trick I've ever seen! Come on, let's get back to the park. We can find Beast Boy and maybe figure out what's going on over there. Bring the CD player, and turn it off. That cackling is really annoying." Raven rolled her eyes as she floated past, using a jet of black magic to shut down the device.

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Beast Boy was vaguely aware that his fall had sped up. Shaking his head to clear it, he spread out his arms and legs like a skydiver, trying to slow himself down. He didn't need to, as it turned out. The walls started to turn, so he was sliding along one at an angle which got less and less steep. Beast Boy lay down on the slide, still moving fast, and held his head in his hands, trying to stop the ringing in his ears. After what seemed like ages, his head stopped throbbing.

"I wonder how far underground I am." Beast Boy started talking to himself to pass the time. "It's probably a couple miles 'r something like that. Who would spend their time building underground slides that long? They must have a lotta free time. I mean, if it's for fun, it's not fun, 'cuz this is the most boring thing ever. It goes on forever! And what was with that pit at the top? Is this like a garbage chute or something? I wonder-" He was cut off suddenly as the end of the tunnel-like slide appeared with dim shaft of light. "FINALLY!"

The green boy shot out of the mouth of the slide, tumbling painfully along the rough stone floor. "Hello? Anybody here? Someone feel like telling me where I am? And why there's a massive slide under a random hole in the ground?" Beast Boy got up stiffly, rubbing his arm where he'd bruised it against the floor and staring around warily. The cavern he was in was huge. He could barely see the ceiling, lost as it was in the height and dim light. The walls arced out around in a rectangular or oval type shape, stretching ahead as far as the eye could see. All the dim, empty space made Beast Boy nervous and he turned around, trying to see everything. The uneven floor and jutting, rocky walls cast strange shadows. Anyone or anything could be hiding anywhere. The more time passed, the more jumpy Beast Boy became. Soon he was crouching by a broken stone pillar, whipping around every time he heard even the smallest noise.

"C'mon, if there's someone there, could you come out? Haven't you waited long enough?" he called out desperately.

"You're right. I think I have." A dark figure exploded out from behind the very pillar Beast Boy had his back to, knocking him down and pinning him to the floor with his arm twisted behind his back.

"Who the hell are you?" Beast Boy demanded, and the figure jerked his arm around. Beast Boy gave a gasp of pain and tried unsuccessfully to turn his head to look behind him.

"You know who I am. I'd like to do you a favor."

"What, you mean getting off my back?" There was a low chuckle from behind.

"Oh, no. Something far more useful. I'm about to tell your future."

"Okaayy... So, are you going to tell me or not, 'cuz this is kinda uncomfortable."

"Very well. You are about to betray the Teen Titans."
