What happened last chapter:
He saw Beast Boy and Cyborg sitting on the ground, both yawning.
"Robin, what are you doing up?" Cyborg asked sleepily.
"I just need to check on her…" Robin said as he walked up to Raven's door and knocked.
Chapter 6:
The real Raven returned to her body, with her mind back in her control. Her eyes turned back to their normal violet color. Raven looked around to see where she was. All she could remember was Caim, and his voice inside her head.
"Welcome back, Raven…" said a voice she immediately recognized as Caim's.
At this point there were many thoughts running through her head, like: What happened? Where am I? How did I get here? What are your plans, Caim? And most of all, how do I fit into this?
"You must be wondering where you are and how you got here without a fight, right? It's really quite simple. I controlled you with my mind, made you come out of your Tower and meet me on one of the nearby roofs in Jump City, and then I took you to Azarath.
"Azarath…?" Raven whispered, noticing the straps that held her down. She had to find a way to get out of this place. She began to say, "Azarath, Metrion-"
"Don't even try to use your powers now. They're useless as long as you still have those chains on your wrists." Caim said this with a confident grin on his face that made her feel helpless. She didn't know if he was lying or not, but no matter what she still had to try.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Raven cried out, struggling to break free of her chains, but just as he said, her powers were completely useless.
Caim strode over to his machine and placed his hand on the switch. He had to do this quickly, before those chains stopped working and Raven could use her powers again.
"This could hurt a bit," he said, laughing as he flipped on the switch. The machine charged up and shot out and electrical wave at Raven.
When it hit her the pain flooded her body right away. She bit down on her tongue, trying not to scream. She didn't want to know that Caim had won this battle-but she had the feeling he had won long before this. She didn't know exactly what this machine did, but it felt like it was draining something out of her. Raven's hands tightly gripped the table she was lying on, her fingernails clawing at it because of the horrible pain. She could no longer prevent the long withheld scream from tearing from her throat-a loud, bloodcurdling scream.
Caim only stood there, quietly watching in enjoyment.
Meanwhile, back at the Tower:
Robin knew Raven would be sleeping and wouldn't hear his knocking, but he decided to go inside anyway. Cyborg and Beast Boy had fallen asleep from being up half the night, but he didn't mind. Right now, all he cared about was Raven.
He turned the door knob slowly, hearing the hinges creak as the door opened. He stepped inside her dark room, noticing the eerie shadows on her walls. Her room was creepy, every one that had been in there thought so. But Robin happened to like her room.
He walked over to the light switch and turned it on. A bright light filled the room, the shadows on the walls disappearing. He then turned to faced Raven's bed. He stood completely still in shock, staring at the bed.
Raven wasn't in it.
Robin began to panic. He ran out of her room into the hallway where Beast Boy and Cyborg were still sleeping. 'Maybe she's on the roof meditating,' Robin thought, trying to calm himself down. But his hopes were shattered when he realized that she would never do that this late at night.
"Cyborg, Beast Boy! Wake up, this is an emergency!" Robin shouted, waking the other two Titans up.
Beast Boy yawned loudly. "Is it morning yet…?" he muttered sleepily.
"No, Raven's gone. Are you sure you didn't see anyone come by her room?" Robin asked.
"No one's come this way, and we didn't here anything from inside her room," Cyborg answered uneasily.
"Okay. Cyborg-go get Starfire. And Beast Boy and I will look inside her room."
Cyborg and Beast Boy quickly stood up. Cyborg began to walk towards Starfire's room while Robin and Beast Boy went back inside Raven's room to search for clues about her disappearance.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Beast Boy asked.
"Anything that would lead us to where Raven went," Robin said as he started to search the room.
"Beast Boy, look!" Robin said, automatically noticing the opened window. He ran over to it and looked out, then turning to look back at Beast Boy.
"Why would Raven go out through her window in the middle of the night?" Beast Boy asked suspiciously.
"I don't think she did. I have a feeling I know who's behind this," Robin replied, Beast Boy knowing he was referring to Caim.
Cyborg and Starfire came walking into the room.
"You mustn't explain why we're all awake so early, Cyborg told me everything, friend Robin," Starfire said with a yawn.
"Robin thinks Caim is behind Raven's disappearance," Beast Boy informed the others.
"If he is, shouldn't we go find him and find out where Raven is? She could be in danger as we speak," Cyborg said.
Robin walked over to Raven's door. "Wherever Caim is, Raven could be with him, but I'm more worried about what he could be doing to her. Cyborg, do you think you can track her signal and figure out where she is?" he asked.
"No problem," Cyborg replied.
"Okay, from what Raven told us, he lives on her home world, Azarath. We're going to need the T-ship for this mission."
Robin and the rest ran into the living room and over to the roof's door. Robin opened it and kicked the door holder underneath it, making the door stay open. They continued up the stairway towards the other door on the top floor. Robin pushed open the door and everyone walked out onto the roof, the door slamming shut behind them.
"Robin, I think you should take a look at this," said Cyborg, who was tracking down Raven's signal when they reached the roof,
Robin walked over to him as he looked at the tracking device, "What?" he asked,
"Her signal is not on here, not even in space," Cyborg said,
"What are you saying, Cyborg?" Robin asked worriedly.
"She's nowhere to be found," Cyborg said.
"Do you think Caim knew about her tracking signal and wrecked it, knowing we would go after him?" Beast Boy asked.
"Wait," said Starfire, "I remember friend Raven telling me once while we were meditating that her home world is in another dimension. If friend Raven is there, we cannot help her now," she finished sadly.
"So all we have to do is wait for what might happen next?" Beast Boy asked.
"I don't like this at all…but we have no choice but to wait," Robin said, as he slowly walked back over to the roof's door and opened it, going back down the stairs and into the living room through the already opened door.
The others followed him shortly in defeat, after Robin reached the living room.
