Chapter 3
Beast Boy was the first to wake up. It was 8:12 a.m. The sun was already shining and he got off his bed, then went into the kitchen to make himself some breakfast. Of course his breakfast was always the same: tofu and salad. The other Titans weren't too great fans of such meals, especially Cyborg, who refused to eat tofu, claiming that it wasn't food. The only one who always ate some of the tofu was Starfire, but considering what the young Tamaranian usually eats this isn't much of a surprise. Beast Boy has also tried to make Raven taste some of his cookings, but she never showed any interest in it, so he usually ate his meals alone.
As he was cooking Beast Boy noticed a small piece of paper, apparently torn out from one of the magazines they had near the couch. He looked at the paper and saw something written on it. He leaned closer, so he could read it. The message was written in black, the handwriting was elegant and smooth.
"I had to leave you. Don't look for me, I must do something, before I can come back. Don't worry about me, I'll be alright. Take care of yourselves until then. Raven."
"WHAAAT!" - Beast Boy screamed as he finished reading. Raven has left them. Without saying goodbye or anything, she just left. Soon the others ran into the kitchen as well, awoken by the screaming of the green shapeshifter. They've also read the note and were shocked by it.
"So she really had a problem! I should've stayed with her!" - Robin thought as he remembered their little 'conversation' from the night.
"Where could she go?" - Cyborg asked, panic was seemingly taking him over. She was the closest person to him since the incident with the T-car. She understood how he felt, why did he love his car so much. She was like a sister to him, and he felt that it was his duty to protect her.
"Calm down! We need to think about this. She must've had some serious reason for leaving us like this. C'mon, any ideas where would she go?" - Robin tried to remain in control of the situation. He felt guilty for making her angry last night. Would that be the reason?
The others just shrugged. No ideas. It wasn't too surprising, because she hasn't spoken to anyone for days.
"Alright. We'll start looking for her at the places she usually visits. The clubs, cafés, theatres, and anything else. Then we'll regroup and sweep through the town to ask if anyone had seen her." - Robin quickly came up with a plan, the others agreed and then began their search for the lost teammember.
13 hours later
The Titans have finished their search. Nothing. No trace of Raven had been found. It was as if she had just disappeared. Of course it's difficult to look for someone who can fly, but they still hoped that they would somehow found a sign of where she went. They were saddened by their failure and had already planned to look for her tomorrow as well.
"Oh God, I still can't believe this. It's not like Rae would just leave us. I'm sure that someone must have kidnapped her!" - Cyborg was explaining angrily to the others.
"Someone must've hacked into our systems, disabled the defenses, and then captured Rae! She just wouldn't leave us!" - Cyborg continued.
The others were sitting on the couch silently. Everyone was trying to figure out why would their friend do something like this. However the only one's had some idea was Robin.
"No, she's left us willingly." - Robin said with a calm voice, which now reminded them of Raven's voice. Everyone looked at the leader.
"We've had a little talk in the night. She must've left after that." - he said, while looking at the table in front of the couch. It had all happened too fast for anyone to truly understand, that this was real.
"Did you argue or something?" - Cyborg asked.
"Well. She was reading her book and I wanted to know if she was alright. She seemed to be hiding something. She got angry, because of my questions, so I left her alone." - Robin described the situation.
"But that still doesn't explain why she left. There must be a reason!" - Beast Boy said the general feeling in them all. His usually cheerful attitude was gone without a trace. He has lost the girl he loves on the day he realized how he felt about her. This just wasn't fair. He felt as tears were gathering in his eyes. He didn't want the others to see him cry, but couldn't hold back the sadness inside him. He covered his eyes with his hands and began to sob quietly. The others felt really sorry for him. Starfire hugged him lightly and let him cry on her shoulder like a child.
"Do not worry friend Beast Boy. We shall look for friend Raven tomorrow and we will find her! I promise." - she tried to calm the green boy.
"Yeah don't worry BB. You know Rae. She's strong and can take care of herself. I'm sure she's safe." - Cyborg said. It hurt him to see his best friend so broken. Because despite their differences in the matter of the food, music and games they were as close as brothers.
Beast Boy finally managed to get back the control over himself and stopped crying. He looked with wet eyes at his friends and felt a bit better knowing that they would do everything to get back their lost teammate.
"Thanks guys." - he said with a weak voice and smiled a bit.
"OK. We need to get some rest. We'll start the search early tomorrow and won't stop until we find something!" - Robin said, determined, now that he had a new goal in front of him. The others can sleep, but he won't. He doesn't need to. He would be awake all night, thinking, trying to figure out where did the dark Titan go.
The others nodded and went back to their rooms. They had found it difficult to fall asleep that night. This was the first time that there were only four of them in the tower. It just didn't feel right to rest, whileRaven might be hurt, or even dying somewhere. Alone. However slowly they fell asleep, tiredness had won.
The night was quiet, cold and dark.
Titans tower, next day early morning
The alarm was set to wake them up at 7 a.m. They have never woken so early before, but now they didn't mind. Soon everyone got ready, so they went down into the hall, so they could go out through the front door. Everyone had a section of the city and it's surrounding, that he/she was supposed to search. Robin wasn't able to find out anything during the night, but he didn't want to give up on his friend. And so they approached the door. But as they opened it they saw a figure standing in front of them. It was a girl. She was wearing blue armor on her chest, arms and legs. Some kind of clothing was wrapped tightly around her body and was torn in many places. She had long blonde hair and dark blue eyes. She seemed to be very exhausted and was panting heavily.
The Titans stood in shock. Beast Boy was the only one to say something, instantly realizing who the girl was.
"Terra..."
