Welcome back to Unbreakable! I am, and will be for the rest of the fic, your host, Raven Roth! Okay, too much enthusiasm there for me, but, hell, who cares! I would like to inform you that I am on the way to getting my poetry and prose published, so updates might stop for awhile. But maybe not. Cadie's gonna come over tomorrow and go over my contract and call my agent and stuff.

Unbreakable

"Let me GO!" yelled a very aggravated Dick Grayson. "And why on Earth would I do that, boy?" asked a cruel voice in reply. Dick snarled. "Because it's against the law and I know people who could get you in serious trouble!" The man gave a cruel chuckle. "I don't think you'll be doing anything of the sort."

Meanwhile, at Liven:

"I don't know, Jinx. I know I probably really pissed him off, but he's so much stronger than to miss school because of me." Jinx looked at Raven. "Chill, chica. It's only eight thirty. Does he usually call you when he's not coming to school?" Raven nodded. "That's why I'm worried. School started over an hour ago, and he hasn't call." But then an idea struck Raven. "If he doesn't call me, I guess I'll have to call him."

Raven fished in her pocket for her cell phone, finding it at the very bottom of the forsaken thing. She flipped it open, and quickly dialed Dick's number. "Hello?" answered his voice in an almost whisper tone. "Dick, it's Raven. Why the hell aren't you at school?" "Raven, some mad man's got me in some old abandoned warehouse." The boy said, urgency in his voice. Raven, however, didn't take this seriously. "Yeah, and I just wanna let you know I'm really Amy Lee (A/N: See footnotes) in disguise." She mocked sarcastically. "Raven, I damn serious!" he quietly exclaimed. Raven stopped for a minute. Jinx looked at her questioningly. "Rae?" she whispered. "Richard, who do you want me to call, and where exactly are you?" "Answer one, call Bruce. Answer two, the old abandoned warehouse north of 25th street." "Stay safe, Dick." Raven said, hanging up. She then went through her phone book and found Bruce, Dick's foster father, phone number.

"Good morning, Wayne residence, Alfred speaking, may I help you?" asked the butlers prim British voice. "Alfred, it's Raven. I need to speak to Bruce, right now!" Alfred didn't argue, and retreated to find Bruce. "Hello, Raven, what do you need?" "Dick's in serious trouble, Bruce!" she yelled at the man. "Whoa, Raven, calm down. What's he done this time?" Raven rolled her eyes. "Well, when he didn't turn up at school this morning, I guessed he was just sick. But you know that when he's sick, he calls me and tells me. So I called him, and he said he's been kidnapped!" She could practically feel Bruce frowning. "He's really been kidnapped?" the urgency in his voice almost driving poor Raven up the wall. "Yes! Now do something, I'm gonna be late for class!" And she hung up.

"Raven, what's going on?" asked a concerned Gar. Everyone in the whole school knew he was a complete dope, but only his real friends knew that he could sense when something was wrong with one of them. "Nothing." She almost snarled. Gar backed off. He may have wanted to help, but he knew better than to press matters when Raven didn't want them pressed.

In English:

Raven couldn't stop worrying. Instead of doing her work, she kept staring around the room, or getting her cell phone out, making sure she hadn't missed any calls. After about thirty minutes of doing this, the teacher finally noticed, and called Raven to his desk.

"Raven, why aren't you doing your work?" he asked. Raven rolled her eyes. "You wouldn't understand." She said snobbishly. The teacher looked at her. "Tell me anyway, Raven." Raven sighed. "Did you happen to notice Dick's not here today?" she rudely asked. "Yes." "It's because some mad man kidnapped him. Since he's my best friend, I'm really worried." She said edge still in her voice. The teacher, Mr. Porter, gasped. "Meet me outside, Raven." But Raven didn't move. "Don't tell them." She commanded. Mr. Porter nodded. Raven went outside, and could hear the man giving an explanation as to why he was leaving the room.

The door opened. "Raven, do you have a cell?" the small man asked. Raven nodded. "Take it out. I'm giving you permission to use it. Stay out here, and if anyone calls, come tell me." Raven nodded. "But can I go ask the principle if I can keep it on until Dick either gets here, or someone calls saying he's safe?" Mr. Porter nodded.

Raven knocked on the door to Principle Iven's door. "Come in. "he called, and Raven entered. "Ah, hello Miss Roth, what trouble (A/N: See footnotes) have you gotten yourself into today?" the man asked. Raven frowned. "None, I've come to ask your permission for something." Principle Iven nodded. "Dick, well, Dick's been kidnapped. I would like permission to keep my cell phone on until I get see him or get word from Mr. Wayne." The principle couldn't keep his mouth closed. "He got kidnapped! Richard Grayson got kidnapped!" He exclaimed. Raven nodded. "Of course you can keep your cell on, but let me give you a slip that says you have my permission." He tore the corner of a piece of paper, scribbled something on it, and signed it.

Later, in 4th period Chemistry:

Raven handed the slip to her teacher, Ms. Vina. She nodded and handed it back to Raven. The girl took her seat at the back next to a kid named Tara Markov. She wasn't very fond of her, but could deal. She just hoped Tara wouldn't question her about where Dick was. But her hopes were destroyed when the blonde turned to her and asked, "Where's that Richard kid? You guys seem to be best friends." "It's none of your business. Raven snapped at Tara, almost making the girl jump. Raven muttered a sorry and waited for Ms. Vina to hand out the work.

Suddenly, in the middle of class, Raven's cell went off. Everyone turned to see it was her phone singing Bring Me to Life (A/N: See footnotes). She looked at Ms. Vina, and she nodded, granting her to step outside and answer the phone.

"Hello?" she answered. "Hey, Rae, it's me." Raven grinned. "Did they find you?" she asked knowing the answer, and knowing Dick was rolling his eyes. "No, Raven, I'm sitting in a chair all tied up, and the mad man is holding the phone to my ear." He said sarcastically. "Well, it's good to know you're safe, but I hope you know I'm still very pissed at you, and after this conversation has ended, I'm not talking to you. Well, I might if you do something to redeem yourself, but I highly doubt you can do anything to do that, as I'm very pissed at you." "Look, Raven, I'm sorry. You know my head was in the clouds because of Kori. Please, Rae, I'm really, really sorry." Raven rolled her eyes. "Nope. Like I said, do something to redeem yourself. Now goodbye, I've got chemistry to do."

Raven shut her phone. "Yeah, the only thing that'll redeem you with me now is if you break up with Kori." She muttered.

Raven walked back into the classroom, and once again, all eyes turned on her. "He's fine. I don't think he'll be here today though." She said, sitting down.

Later that night:

The doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" Raven yelled at her mother and sister, running and skipping several steps on her way to answer the door. It was Dick. "Hey, Rae." He said, blushing. "What do you want?" Raven replied, venom coming from her voice. She noticed Dick had his hands behind his back. "Well, I thought since your mad at me, you wouldn't want these flowers, but I brought them anyway." Raven cocked her eyebrow. He was acting to cute for her liking. Richard was smiling and holding out a rather large bouquet of roses. "Dick, flowers aren't gonna make me any less pissed at you. He continued to smile, though with that last comment, it's intensity lowered. "Take em anyway." He said, pushing them into Raven's arms. "Thanks, Dick, but I've got things to do." Unfortunately for Raven, Arella came down the steps right when Raven was about to close the door. "Dick!" she exclaimed "Would you like to eat dinner with us?" Before Raven could protest, Dick answered. "Sure, Arella, just let me call Bruce." He did, and Bruce said it would be fine.

For Raven, dinner was miserable. Her mother made her sit next to Dick, and he tried to converse with her. She didn't listen, but stared at her plate instead. When dinner was finally over, Raven went up to her room and locked the door. She turned her CD player on, stuck her Evanescence CD in, and blasted it until her sister came and said they had to go to bed.

Footnotes:

Thanks to all my reviewers. You are much appreciated.

Footnote 1: I like Evanescence, so I made Raven like Evanescence, hence the Amy Lee thing, cuz she's the lead singer.

Footnote 2: Raven's a troublemaker. She and the principle know each other quite well.

Footnote 3: Bring Me to Life is my favorite song, so I made it Raven's ring tone.
