A/N: Had a couple of guesses for the identity of the villain, both were wrong I'm afraid. I must admit there was a typo, when I said that he was not a usual Teen Titans villain, I should have said he's not a Teen Titans villain at all, though he is still DC.

For anyone who doesn't know:

Garfield (Gar) Logan : Beastboy

Richard (Dick) Grayson : Robin

Raven Roth : Raven

Victor (Vic) Stone : Cyborg

Korind'r : Starfire, though for the purposes of my story, she is Kori Anders

Currently Untitled

Chapter 2

Gar walked into his room and dropped his book bag near his desk. Rather than sitting in his chair, he turned to face the room and leaned against it. "Have either of you seen Raven lately?"

Dick and Victor both looked up from their respective tasks. "Nope, she missed our writing class today." Victor replied.

"You haven't?" Dick asked.

"No. She's missed every class we've had together all week, I'm kinda worried about her."

"Don't worry, man, she probably just doesn't feel well."

They're conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door. All three spoke simultaneously, "Come in!"

The door immediately opened, admitting Kori. She closed it behind her and leaned back against it, her hand over her eyes. "My room mate is driving me insane."

Robin spoke first, "What's up?"

"Robin, would you consider dating her?"

Robin's eyes widened as his face registered hurt, "Um, who is it?"

"Kitten."

Robin's eyes widened further, "No!"

"Thank you." Kori said, letting out a sigh. "Now I can say that I asked you. Maybe now she will get off my back about it."

Robin heaved his own sigh of relief. "So, what's up?"

"Not much." She pulled Dick's currently empty chair from under the desk and settled into it.

"Um, Kori, you work with Raven, don't you?"

"Yes."

"So have you seen her recently?"

"She was out of work earlier this week, but she was back yesterday, though she did not seem well."

"Like sick?"

"Perhaps. She seemed to move slowly, like she was tired maybe."

"You got her number?"

"Yes." Kori pulled her cell phone out, "She's who I call if I can't make it into work." She pulled Raven's number up on the cell phone and handed it to Gar.

Gar scribbled the number down on a piece of scrap paper before handing it back. Immediately he grabbed the hand set of his phone and dialed her number. After a few rings, it was answered, "Yeah?"

"Um, is Raven there?"

"Just a sec." Gar heard a small click as the phone on the other end was set down, then footsteps. After a brief silence he heard the sound of another phone being picked up.

"Hello?" Raven voice sounded thick, raw.

"Hey, Rae, I heard your not feeling well."

"Hey, Gar. Yeah, I've been under the weather."

"I took notes for you in Bio, you want me to bring them over to you?"

"No, that's okay. I should be back tomorrow, I'll get them from you then."

"Alright, I hope you feel better soon."

"Thanks."

"I'll let you get back to what you were doing. See you tomorrow."

"Yeah, bye."

Gar hung up the phone, pulled his chair out and settled into it. "She said she's not feeling well."

"Satisfied?" Dick asked.

"I guess, I don't know. She's gonna be back tomorrow, so I guess I'll know then if I'm satisfied."

--------------------

Gar watched the door of the classroom until he saw he walk in. Raven walked into the room slowly, though something told Gar that she wasn't just not feeling well, something seemed off. She walked down the sloped floor of the theater style lecture hall and settled into the seat next to him, letting her bag slide off her shoulder and onto the floor.

Gar leaned over to her and whispered to her, "Morning, sunshine."

She glared at him, "Morning."

"Not feeling any better, I see."

"Not really."

Gar pulled several pages out of his bag and dropped them on the small desk attached to each chair. "Here's your notes."

Raven opened the pages and scanned down the lines of neat handwriting. "Thanks, but this isn't your handwriting."

"Yeah, well, I realized that they weren't readable, so I got Kori to copy them for me."

"I see." She slid the notes into her bag and pulled out a blank sheet for the day's lesson. "I hope I can catch up."

"Don't worry, we'll spend a couple extra hours studying, and I'll have you all caught up."

"Actually, I can't come today either, my dad's picking me up."

"Your dad? I don't think you've mentioned him before Monday."

"Yeah, we don't get along well."

"Ah. Well, today's Friday, so Monday for studying?"

"I'll try."

Both teens turned to face the front of the room as their professor started reading off the attendance.

--------------------

Beastboy looked up as Raven sat in the chair across the table from him. "Hey, you weren't in class."

"I slept in."

He silently handed her a page with the class notes. "How long can you stay."

Raven stared down at the table, "I can't."

"Why not?"

"Some stuff's come up at home, in fact I probably won't be able to study with you for a while."

"Oh."

She stood and grabbed her bag, "I've got to go."

"One thing before you go."

"What?"

"Are you wearing makeup."

Raven blushed a little. "So what? It's generally considered normal for a girl to wear makeup."

"Well yeah, but you've never worn it."

"I was in the mood for it."

"Okay then." He grinned mischievously and licked his thumb. Before Raven could stop him, he ran it along her cheek, smudging her makeup.

"Gar!" She yelled, bringing her hand up to cover her cheek, "You jerk."

Gar's face fell when he caught sight of a gap in her make up. He silently grabbed her wrist and pulled it away, revealing an ugly purple bruise. "What happened?"

"I ran into a door." She answered.

He studied the bruising for another moment. "Funny, I've never seen a door with knuckles."

Raven pulled her hand back suddenly, "I-I've got to go." She turned and ran for the door. Beastboy stood to follow her, but got tangled in the straps of her book bag that she had left near the table. By the time he managed to get to his feet, she was gone.

With a growl Gar slammed his fist into the table.

--------------------

"Milord, there may be a problem."

"What?"

"Well, it seems as though two of the Titans are under extreme emotional duress."

"So?"

"The systems are able to handle input only to a certain amount of power. More powerfully felt emotion may cause a catastrophic failure."

After a long pause, "Do you mean to tell me that if this problem does not change, we will suffer a system failure?"

"A partial one, yes. You will lose the two who are causing the problems."

There was another long pause, "You have two days. If the problem has not been taken care of, you will pay dearly. If I lose even one of them, you will die."

"Yes, milord."

A/N: Figured out who's captured the Titans yet? In truth he's probably somewhat OOC, he never didn't have underlings in the only episode that he was in.
