CHAPTER 4
Robin shot up in bed. He looked around wildly. He punched his fist into his bed angrily and jumped up, pulling on belt, cape, and boots and record speed. He ran out of his room and down the hall.
Raven was up in seconds. She flung her cloak around her shoulders and fastened it. She ran out of her room, the red lights flashing, and alarm blaring through the tower.
Terra shot up and looked at her window. Her eyes widened. No. She tried to fling the covers off herself, but in her disbelief, got her leg caught and fell off the bed. "Eep!" she kicked the blanket off and stood up, holding her gloved fists up.
"AH! ABONDED SHIP! CUTE GIRLS AND ME GO FIRST!" Beast Boy shot up in bed and yelled then looked around and moaned then nearly fell instead of jumped from his top bunk and grabbed his belt and put it on then pulled his sneakers on and tied them in 2 seconds flat. He pulled his gloves on as he ran down the hall.
Cyborg met up with Beast Boy half way, he didn't need to get ready.
Starfire shot up in bed and looked around then got up and flung her boots on then pulled her sleeve like gloves on as she flew down the hall, flying past the boys, her eyes glowing bright green.
The bots jumped into Terra's room and spotted her. Remembering their orders two of them ran over before she could do anything about it, though it helped she had tripped herself. Each one grabbed her arm and kept her restrained while the third walked over and stuck a needle into Terra's arm, knocking her out within a minute.
Robin ran into the main room. The computer was already up. "Slade bots!" he yelled, knowing the others would be nearby. And surely enough, Raven came flying into the room moments later.
Terra tried to fight against the bots. She attempted kicking at one, and wriggling her arm free from the other, but it didn't go her way. They were too strong. She hadn't even thought of using her communicator. She watched and struggled as the third one came towards her with a needle. "Let… go of me!" she demanded, knowing it would do nothing. But, once the needle punctured her skin, she went kind of limp, and sleepy. Seconds later, all went black.
Beast Boy and Cyborg were down in time to hear Robin, while Starfire was a little ways ahead of them. At the mention of Slade Beast Boy felt a deep growl form in his throat as his fists clenched so his finger nails dug into his gloved hand the best they could.
The bots outside blasted the door down with their lasers then looked over the Titans.
"Aww man" Cyborg whined.
Terra had been nothing compared to the super strong robots holding her. Once she was out cold one picked her up and flung her over its shoulder as if she was nothing more then a sack of food. All three of them made a dead run for it. They jumped out the window and crawled down the tower wall in light speed motions.
Robin pulled out a few electric disks. "Titans! GO!" He hadn't even noticed Terra missing. Half of it was that he wasn't used to having her around, the other half was he was too into the idea of Slade being nearby. He threw the disks at the bots and pulled his staff out.
Raven levitated into the air. "Azarath Metrion ZINTHOS!" she shot a blast of her dark energy at them.
Starfire flew into the air, her hands lit up in bright green before she swung the starbolts down at the intruders.
Beast Boy was off as soon as Robin had yelled his famous battle cry. He ran at the bots before morphing into a tiger and roaring loudly as if to intimidate them. Though being robots they didn't care and only aimed at him. Beast Boy though pounced on one and tore it too shreds with his claws.
Cyborg shot at a bot coming at BB from the side "Yo! No one hurts him but me" He joked.
The bots carried Terra over the water; her head was rested on its shoulder so she didn't drown; only half of her lower body was in the water. When they came to shore the 3 bots started at a run for the lair. Knowing since Terra was knocked out she wouldn't feel the extremely bumpy ride.
Robin jammed his staff into the head of a bot. He swung it at another and jammed it into its chest. From behind him, a bot kicked it from his hand. Robin whipped around, and punched the bot in the face, then kicked it in the chest, sending it flying into the wall.
Raven was aiming and shooting bots. Black energy surrounded the heads of two, and she bashed them together.
Starfire was flinging her starbolts down at the robots fiercely. It really ticked her off when they barged in.
Cyborg shot another one in the head then got into hand and hand combat with them, grabbing one then swinging it around so it bashed the others.
Beast Boy would then take the chance of taking care of what was left of the bots Cyborg destroyed.
It was all too soon that all the bots were dead. Slade hadn't sent enough to do much damage, just to keep them busy.
The 3 kidnapping bots where at the lair soon enough. And as ordered they strapped Terra to a steal bed. Her arms, legs, and torso where held down by a strong plastic so that she had no power over it. Her neck was also strapped down to the hard and very uncomfortable bed.
Robin looked around the room at all the bots. It wasn't like Slade to do this. Okay, so it was, but only if he had it planned for some reason. He kicked one of the bots over out of frustration.
Raven landed on the ground also looking around. Something was missing… what though?
Terra woke up awhile later. Her eyes slowly opened and she let out a half moan. What happened? She tried to move her arms and legs, but found she couldn't. What the heck? She looked down, only with her eyes. She was strapped down. She started struggling and grunting with her attempts.
Beast Boy morphed human and looked around. He leaned on his bent knees for support. "Dude... talk about major messes" He joked.
"Yea" Cyborg looked around the trashed main room.
Starfire landed on the floor just after her hands and eyes went back to normal "Is that... all of them?" she asked, almost in disbelief that was too easy.
Slade heard Terra's struggles and walked to the area were she was kept. A smell little light hung above her, giving off very little light. "Terra, it is good to see you again" He said as he walked just close enough for his copper half of the mask to be seen and some of his chest.
Beast Boy looked around again, wait a minute... Terra. Where was Terra? "Guys..." He started, sounding worried. "Where's Terra?"
It hit Raven like a rock in the head. That's what was missing. Wait… Slade bots… Terra missing. Raven couldn't believe it. Terra had done it again. "Once a traitor, always a traitor," she said, clearly stating her thoughts.
Robin didn't hear her; he was too busy looking around the room. Beast Boy was right, where was Terra? He looked around the room again. Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven. One Titan, two titans, three, four. Where had Terra gone?
Terra's eyes widened at that voice. No… not again. Not him. She stared at him, at Slade, the man that had torn her life apart. "Wish I could say the same," Terra snapped, still struggling. He couldn't be here, he couldn't. She would wake up, in her bed, in Titans Tower, and this would all just be a nightmare. A terrible nightmare. She was breathing hard out of fear. She didn't want to relive what she'd done before.
Beast Boy had heard Raven and couldn't help but glare.
Cyborg was now looking around, where was she? Even if Terra was a heavy sleeper and was used to loud noises NO one could sleep through the tower alarm. He made it that way on purpose.
Starfire held her fists up to her chest in worry. "Terra?" She called out, knowing she wouldn't get a reply.
Seeing Terra struggle only added to Slade's enjoyment. He had wanted to repay her for her betrayal and being able to do that while taking out the Titans and all who opposed him seemed perfect. "You act as if you don't want to go back to work" He mocked.
Beast Boy turned around sharply and ran up the stairs towards Terra's room. He didn't know what he thought he would find, but anything that said Terra was innocent would suet him. Well almost anything. He pushed her door open slowly "Terra?" He called softly as he poked his head in and looked around.
Raven had caught the glare. At the moment, she didn't care.
"Beast Boy!" Robin yelled after him. He sighed, exasperatedly, and bolted after him.
Terra stopped struggling momentarily to glare at Slade. She didn't even no what to say. 'I'm not' was an understatement. She went back to struggling at the locks holding her down.
Beast Boy had totally ignored Robin, his main focus was Terra. He walked into the room but felt a sudden chill. He looked over and no wonder! Her window had been busted into. He had never been much of a Sherlock homes but he looked over at Terra's thrown around bed sheets and then back at the broken window and knew something must of happened. If she was hurt, well he wouldn't be the happiest little guy. But what did happen? Where was Terra?
"Stubborn" Slade called her as if naming a child. "I hope you're comfortable, because you may be there awhile." He said then backed away into the shadows.
Two bots came over though, each standing at her side and holding lasers. Clearly they were there to make sure Terra stayed put.
Terra stopped struggling again to look up at Slade. Comfortable? Yeah, he was just rubbing in her face how uncomfortable he knew it was. "What d'you want?" she more yelled at him then asked. She glanced over at the two bots, and then looked back at Slade. "Is it your life's goal to ruin my life every time it's getting good?" she shouted at him. She hated him, hated his guts, hated him more then anything or anyone she'd ever hated before.
Robin ran down the hall and stopped at Terra's open door. He knew Beast Boy must be in there. "Beast Boy?" he asked looking in and immediately spotting the green teen. "What happened in here?" he asked, sounding a little surprised at what he saw.
Raven stormed to her room and slammed the door. She sat down in the middle of the room and started meditating.
"You made your oath, and I intend to make you keep your promise" Slade's voice said some were from the dark cave smelling room.
"I don't know..." Beast Boy almost whispered to Robin. He had a sudden feel of worry, and the urge to go look for Terra. He bit his lower lip and looked around once more then said "We have to find her" once turning to face Robin.
"We'll find her, we'll find her," Robin assured Beast Boy. "First, we should tell everyone," he looked over his shoulder at the sound of a door slamming. "Even Raven."
Terra glared into the shadows. "I never should have given any oath, I don't wanna keep any promises," Terra said more to herself then to Slade. "It was the stupidest thing I've ever done," she continued laying guilt, and blame on herself.
Beast Boy nodded, though not really looking forward to it he said "Ill tell Raven"
Slade listened, letting Terra beat on herself. She would only get weaker this way, and easier to handle.
Robin nodded as well. "I'll go downstairs and tell the others," he turned to leave the room. He stopped outside the hall and poked his head back in. "Oh, and Beast Boy," he said. "Don't worry over it too much. We will find her." Robin was back into his old leader mode.
Terra stopped struggling. If she hadn't had her head strapped down, she would have hung her head in sorrow, self anger, and self shame. "It was the dumbest thing anyone could have ever done. How could I have been so stupid? Why didn't-" she just realized something: her communicator was still on her bedside table at the tower. "Why didn't I use it? Moron!" she said to herself. This must have been amusing, she was talking to herself, chastising herself, and she didn't even realize it.
Robin went back downstairs, walking fast. He saw the others and came up to them; he hesitated slightly before telling them. "Terra… she's not in her room. Her window's broken though, there's glass everywhere. Slade bots must have broken in, it's what seems to make most since," he said.
Starfire gasped "We much begin our search immediately!" She started to float up again.
"Wait, wait, wait, you're telling me the guys we just kicked the life outta were..." Cyborg shook his head slightly, they had fallen for that? Man...
Slade was grinning as he watched Terra struggle. "You are only making this harder" He said calmly.
"Yeah…" Robin said. "It was all a plan, that's my guess." He looked over at Starfire. "Before we just start running around looking, we should try to pinpoint their location. We could also try and figure out what Slade wants with Terra, that always helps a little."
Terra ignored him and struggled against the ones holding her legs down now. Suddenly, she felt a pain come to her right leg. Charlie horse. She bit her tongue to not say 'ow'. Oh, God, that hurt! And it wasn't a pain that just went away as fast as it came, it stayed for awhile. I hate Charlie horses! She thought angrily. Ow, ow, ow she thought instead of said. Nothing was going her way again. It started out okay, got terrible, then right when it was getting good again, it was crushed by a man in a mask.
Beast Boy came to Ravens door. He let his eyes scan it before knocking. "Raven?" He asked. He knew Raven wouldn't want to help, but he would try to talk her into it.
Slade could be heard typing on his computers. "I've made sure you won't be found by your 'friends'" He said as a matter of fatcly. "This area is shielded with a cloaking deceive." He turned back to look at her. "So don't get any hopes of being rescued"
Raven pulled her hood back over her head and walked to her door she opened it and stared at Beast Boy. She had been expecting Robin to be there for some reason. She didn't say anything, but waited for him to say something first.
Terra glared at him, clenching her teeth. Half of that was because of the pain in her leg though. Why did Slade always have to think of things before hand? She hated how he was so smart. "Just because you have a stupid cloaking device, doesn't mean they won't find me!" she said angrily. Part of her thought they could find her if the looked enough, the other part of her doubted it.
"I don't know," Robin said. "We can always try, but even if she did, Slade probably would have destroyed it already."
"And just because you don't want to be here doesn't mean they will find you" Slade said in his regular tone.
Beast Boy stared at Raven before realizing he was going to have to talk first. "We need your help" He started then looked down at his feet. "W-we think Terra has been kidnapped... or something..." He looked back up at her, waiting for her near sure refusal. One thing was for sure. If Raven did agree to help with out him begging then it would be a surprise.
"Why do you say that?" Raven asked. They couldn't just assume it, something had to show them she was kidnapped, though Raven doubted it.
Terra scowled. "Shut up," she said in a shaky voice. "Just SHUT UP!" she yelled at him. She didn't want to look at him, to hear his voice, to get within a hundred miles of him. She wanted nothing to do with Slade. Not now, not ever.
"Her window was broken into" Beast Boy explained. "And we can't find Terra anywhere"
Cyborg sighed then slid his hand over the top of his head as if trying to think up some other plan. "You're probably right. Do you think we could track the bots?" He asked.
Starfire started to pace the floor; she was now on foot again. Her finger pressed on her lip as she stared at the floor as her pacing kept on.
Raven had thought up a theory in about .2 seconds flat. "Easy, it's a trick," she said. "Terra shut the security off again, made a rock crash through her window, and flew off to Slade again. They just want us to think Terra's been kidnapped so we go look for her, and then get ambushed by bots, or Terra."
"It's worth a shot," Robin said as he glanced at Starfire, and back to Cyborg.
Beast Boy was now giving Raven a disbelieving look "You know that's not true" He almost growled. "Terra is in trouble! I know it! We need to find her" He said defensively.
Cyborg nodded again then walked over to the giant computer and started typing the buttons, trying to get a lock on either Terra or the bots or both if possible.
Raven stared at him for a moment. "Actually, I don't know it's not true. None of us do," she said a bit angrily. "And besides, if she was in trouble, what can I do about that? I can't force you back in time to run to her rescue. What am I supposed to do about it?" she repeated.
Robin stared at the screen. There had to be something, somewhere. Any sign of Slade, any sign of his stupid bots, or Terra.
"You can help! That's what you can do!" Beast Boy yelled, though not really meaning too. "She was your friend too!" He stared at Raven, angry she was acting like this, though in a way understood it. "with more of us looking for her better the chances we find her before she gets hurt if she isn't all ready" He didn't notice he was yelling his worries out, and didn't much care.
"She's not my friend," Raven said flatly. "Maybe I don't want to find her!" Raven was speaking her mind again. "But, fine. If you wanna find her so bad, I'll help. Not that I'll like it, but that's life," she said in an annoyed tone.
"Just because you hate her doesn't mean I-we do" Beast Boy had muttered before turning around and storming down stairs.
Cyborg sighed in frustration. He couldn't pick anything up. It was like they had disappeared.
"Anything?" Robin asked Cyborg.
Raven stared after Beast Boy. Thoughts were rushing her mind. Did he still like Terra? He sure acts like it sometimes she thought. Maybe she should ask? Later. Only if it was needed. Half of her wanted to know. Half of her didn't. She started walking after him.
"No" Cyborg said as he turned around to face Robin "not a trace. I don't even know how this is possible... unless they got some cloaking device. And if that's true then we are in deep dirt"
Beast Boy came rushing down stairs as fast as he could. He stopped next to Robin and saw Cyborg working, probably looking for the bots or Terra. "How's it going?" He asked dryly.
Starfire sawed on her bottom lip with her teeth. She remembered being this worried a few times. Once when Robin had disappeared, or a few times since it had happened quiet a bit. Her pacing had sped up now so she was fast walking back and forth through the living room.
"We can't find anything," Robin told Beast Boy. He turned back to Cyborg. "Why're we in deep dirt? There has to be some way to get around it," he said.
Raven came walking down the stairs, her hood down again. "No luck?" she asked.
Robin was a bit surprised she was there. He shook his head.
"Not that I can think of. There is no way to track them. The only way that I can think of is going out there our selves and looking. But even then I doubt we can find the lair or where ever she is because it is probably hidden really well" Cyborg said.
Beast Boy hung his head and stared at his feet. He listened to Cyborg, and it made him worry even more.
"We have to keep looking," Robin said. "We can split up. One or two of us stay here to look, and the rest spread out. Look anywhere and everywhere in the city. Any nook, any cranny. We have to find them," Robin instructed.
"Sounds like a plan" Cyborg nodded. "Who's going where?" he asked, eager to start.
Beast Boy looked up and at Robin then over at the screen that kept saying it had found no reading on either the bots or Terra.
"Who's willing to go look?" he asked. Dumb question. He didn't think Raven would be, even though her powers would be useful, but the other probably would.
"Me!" Beast Boy and Starfire had said at the same time.
"I think I should stay here, and work at the computers" Cyborg said after thinking for a moment.
Robin nodded to Beast Boy and Starfire. He looked over at Cyborg as he said, "Yeah, that's what I was thinking." He looked over at Raven. He just stared at her for a moment before she sighed and said,
"Fine, I'll go too," although reluctantly.
Robin nodded. "I'll stay here for awhile, then maybe go out to look later," he said to his team. "If you find anything, anything at all, tell us." Robin was positive they already knew this; he just had to remind them.
"Where do you want us to look first?" Beast Boy asked Robin hurriedly. It was obvious he wanted to be out that door already and looking.
Cyborg turned around and started typing on the computers again, trying to scan the area.
"This is Slade. He could be anywhere. So, look anywhere and everywhere." Robin honestly didn't know where he wanted them to look first. He had no idea where Slade might be this time.
Beast Boy nodded then dashed for the door. Starfire lifted herself off the ground and was right behind him.
Raven glided out the door, a bit slower then the other two.
Robin turned back to the computer screen. Where could they be? And why was it so important to have a cloaking device this time? What was Slade planning?
"Where do you guys think we should start?" Beast Boy asked as soon as they left the tower.
"I am not certain" Starfire said.
"We should start looking in the city," Raven suggested.
Beast Boy nodded at Raven "good idea" He morphed into a falcon and flew up into the air at record speed. He then started to the other side of the lake as fast as he could.
Starfire started across the lake after Beast Boy, she was eager to search for Terra
Raven sighed and started after them, pulling her hood up as she did so. She sped up a bit to catch up with them.
Beast Boy was flying as fast as he could, which was almost as fast as the rushing Starfire ahead of him. But this was taking too much of his energy to keep up with Starfire and even Raven was almost ahead of him. So Beast Boy did a nose dive for the water, he was splashed in only seconds after. He brought his wings over his face then morphed into a sail fish. He grinned to himself, the sail fish was one of the fastest ocean animals in the world. He resurfaced but now at a higher speed so he was right under Star.
Starfire landed on the shore then looked up at Raven then down in the water at Beast Boy. Though didn't look long for he had jumped out then morphed human only seconds after Starfire landed. He too looked up at Raven and waited for her to land so they could start looking. He was still wondering where to look. Maybe spread out? Na, he had never liked the idea of it. But Raven could sense things... Maybe she would be able to sense Terra even with some stupid cloaking device. That only worked for machines right? But then what if she didn't want to find Terra? Well duh, she had already stated that for the most part.
Raven watched as Beast Boy flew as fast as his wings could carry him, swim even faster. He wanted to find Terra so bad, but why? Half of her believed he still like Terra, but the stubborn part of her told her she was jumping to conclusions. Raven didn't like seeing Beast Boy all worried like this. Maybe she should just forget about how much she hated Terra and help him? As much as she didn't want to, she figured it was the only way to find Terra and get Beast Boy to quit being all worried. She landed on the shore and looked around. "Where should we start?" she asked the other two.
"I was thinking maybe the docks?" Beast Boy guessed. "There not to far from here and might be a good place to start"
Starfire nodded then looked over at Raven.
Raven also nodded and started heading in the direction of the docks.
Starfire walked along side Raven. Or it was more of a fast walk. Beast Boy on the other hand morphed into a blood hound and went a little ways ahead of the girls with his nose to the ground.
Raven watched Beast Boy search around. She sighed and put her pointer and middle fingers on both her hands to her temples, closing her eyes as she did so. She concentrated for a moment, but found nothing. "From what I can tell," Raven started, "she's not here."
Starfire looked at Raven, her hands held to her chest in worry. "You are... certain?" She asked, they had just started, she couldn't possibly expect to find Terra already but still.
Beast Boy heard Raven, He morphed human then turned around and looked at her. Waiting to see what she said to Starfire. Though he really already knew, Raven wouldn't lie.
Raven tried again, putting her fingers to her temples and closing her eyes. She concentrated, only harder this time. It seemed like forever before she finally lowered her hands, and opened her eyes. She gave Beast Boy and Starfire an 'I'm sorry' look as she shook her no.
Starfire sighed.
"We still got a whole city to look through" Beast Boy pointed out. Just because they couldn't find her in one area of this city, didn't mean she wasn't around here some were. Or so he hoped.
"You are right, we should resume quickly" Starfire nodded.
Raven nodded her head in agreement with them and started walking again. "Where to?" she asked.
"May I suggest trying the alleys?" Starfire said, looking from Beast Boy to Raven.
"Don't see why not, lets just not waist time" Beast Boy said with his anxiousness in his tone.
Raven nodded again and started flying. She looked around. It was getting a little foggy out. Raven yawned as she flew down the empty road, glancing at Beast Boy every once in awhile. She was getting a bit tired.
Starfire was flying beside Raven. Her head turned to look in every corner even if Beast Boy had looked there already. When the fog started to settle in she allowed her hands to glow the bright green to give them a little light.
Beast Boy was also looking around, like Starfire double checked his searched areas, He double checked Star's. But after a little while he was starting to doubt this was the right area to look. He let out a sigh and hung his head in thought. Where else to look? Even if he did know this city like the back of his hand he wasn't able to figure out which area to search next. "I can't believe this!" He thought aloud without meaning too.
Raven had been floating a few inches off the ground sometimes, other times higher up. Sometimes her eyes closed, and fingers to her temples again, concentrating hard again. She couldn't pick up anything. When she heard Beast Boy, she let her feet touch the ground. "Its okay, Beast Boy," she said. "She'll turn up sooner or later," she added as though Terra was just an object they'd lost and couldn't find.
Beast Boy doubted Raven's words highly. He didn't see how Terra could turn up if she was being held prisoner as he thought. "We have to find her" He said now looking ahead with a blank face.
"Why are you so worried?" Raven asked again. "We'll find her, stop acting like it's the end of the World," her voice was monotone, but her jealousy was rising.
"Sorry for being worried over someone" Beast Boy half snapped at Raven. He did have to find Terra, He couldn't lose her again. Even if they had said they were just friends, but he knew he liked her more then that.
Raven sighed a half annoyed, and half frustrated sigh. "Beast Boy, listen to me," she said very clearly. "I am tired, I am very frustrated. I'll help you keep looking, but before I do, just answer me this: Why do you care so much?" She had to force the next words out of her mouth. "You never got over Terra, did you?"
Beast Boy stopped walking and looked at Raven, though not saying anything.
Starfire flew back a little ways, she felt a more personal conversation between the two coming up and didn't want to be rude.
Beast Boy looked down at his feet then started walking again "We need to keep looking" He said, trying to change the subject "If your tired then maybe you should go home" Although he meant it in a sympathetic way, it hadn't come out that way.
Raven stared at him for a moment, not saying anything. She finally spoke up. "Beast Boy, answer me. Do you or do you not still like Terra?" she repeated. "I need to know," she told him. "If you do, then…" she started, "then, I don't want to get in the way and hold you back. I want you to be happy, and if you're happiest with her, then okay. That's all I want to know," she had averted her gaze to the ground and looked back up again.
Beast Boy stopped, he felt a surge of guilt. He hated choosing, but knew he had too. Deep down he knew he had always loved Terra even if it didn't always show. This was his chance, though he didn't want to hurt Raven. He turned his head around slowly then sighed. "Raven... I- I'm sorry" He almost whispered.
Raven sighed and averted her eyes back to the ground. She looked back at him, a very small smile on her face. "Thank you," she began, "for being honest," she finished. Half of her wanted to wallow in self pity, but the other part of her, as much as she hated to admit it, knew that she wasn't right for Beast Boy, and Terra was. She let another sigh out, but this time it was a more relieved sigh, she was relieved that that was over with. "Where else should we look?" she asked as though nothing had been said.
Beast Boy smiled then looked around "Really, I doubt she's even in the city. I can't think of any place Slade would be hiding here"
Starfire saw that the issue seemed to be dealt with and walked over in time to hear Beast Boy "Then where do you propose to search?" She asked, trying to lower her curled hands from her chest, but found it very difficult from habit.
"Yeah, I mean, where else could they be?" Raven asked.
Robin decided to call and ask if they'd found anything. He called Starfire's communicator.
Starfire nodded at Raven. "I am not sure where else we are too look either..." She heard her T-com going off and grabbed it from her belt. "Robin?" She asked after opening it.
Beast Boy looked over at Starfire then ran over and tried to look over her shoulder but... she was taller then himself so he had to just sort of inch half of his face over in front of Star so he could see. Ha, yea he was nosy
"Hey Star," Robin said. "How're you guys doing? Found anything yet?" he asked hopefully.
Raven looked over, she came a bit closer. Had they found something? She sighed as she heard Robin. Obviously not.
"I am afraid not" Starfire said, gently trying to push BB away. But he only pushed himself back in to see.
Robin sighed. "Okay… have you guys checked alley ways?"
"Already done," Raven answered.
"There weren't even any clues that might tell us where they are? Nothing suspicious?" Robin asked.
"No..." Starfire said shaking her head slightly. Then again pushing Beast Boy out of her face. But the annoying teen only pushed back through, Starfire pushed him back again, only a little harder.
Robin sighed. "Okay… well, if you guys wanna keep looking, go ahead, but I was thinking you should maybe come home and get some rest," Robin highly doubted Beast Boy would do that willingly.
"We can keep looking, we're not-" she was cut off by a yawn. "Tired," she finished, though she had blown it with the yawn.
"The girls can go home if they want, I want to keep looking" Beast Boy said, this time since he was talking Starfire didn't push him away.
"I figured you'd say something like that," Robin said. "Well, come home whenever you need to. And remember, if you find anything, call us."
"I think I might come home soon," Raven spoke up again.
"I am also feeling in need of rest... but I wish not to leave you to all the searching" Starfire told Beast Boy.
"Eh, don't worry about me. I can be an all nighter too" Beast Boy grinned.
Starfire nodded with some hesitation then turned back to Robin "I believe I shall be coming home soon"
Robin nodded. "Alright, see you and Raven soon then," he said. "Be careful, Beast Boy," he added. "Robin out," he said as he stared at the little screen. He closed the communicator and put it back on his belt.
Raven turned to Beast Boy. "So, you're sure you don't mind doing all the searching for a little while?" she asked.
"So what's up?" Cyborg asked Robin, glancing over his shoulder at him.
"Yes, I'm sure" Beast Boy nodded. "I've gone a whole night without sleep before! The TV has trained me well" He joked.
Robin sighed and looked over at Cyborg. "They haven't found anything either. Raven and Starfire are coming home soon, but Beast Boy wants to keep searching," he informed.
Raven rolled her eyes but smiled a little anyways. "Okay… well, see you later, I guess," she said.
"Well, I figured that" Cyborg half joked then looked down at the key bored, he had no luck at anything tonight.
"Have a safe flight!" Beast Boy joked again then took off down the street.
Starfire waved after him "Be careful friend!" She shouted after him.
"Yeah, so did I," Robin said, grinning a little. Beast Boy was always stubborn. But, when it came to Terra, he got even worse. Robin had noticed that right away.
Raven nodded in agreement to Starfire, even though she knew Beast Boy didn't know it. She watched him run off until he was out of sight. "Should we head on home?" she asked Starfire.
"We said that we would" Starfire said, looking at Raven now even though her hand was half way in mid air.
Beast Boy looked around, he was in some random foggy ally. He sighed "where do I look..." He asked himself. "Where is she...?" He leaned on the brick wall and looked up. Where was he supposed to look? He had to find her! But where was she! He had no idea.
"Robin, man. I am not picking a single thing up." Cyborg sighed. "I dunno what else I can do."
Raven nodded and flew up into the air a little ways. "Let's go, then," she said as she started flying.
Robin stared for a moment before sighing. "Maybe we should all take a little break," he suggested. "Try and get some rest even."
Starfire nodded and flew after Raven.
"No thanks, I want to stay up and see if I hear from BB" Cyborg said "Thanks though" He wanted to stay up incase B needed help. He couldn't sleep knowing his best bud was out there by himself.
"You're right," Robin said, leaning against the couch with his arms crossed. He was dead tired, but he worried about his friends. He was the leader, and when things like this happened, he tended to put a lot of the blame on himself.
Beast Boy closed his eyes in thought. Think evil lair, he told himself. But the only idea that came to his head was a different planet. Okay so much for thinking like the enemy. He had searched the city for the most part. Raven would have sensed anything here anyways. So where else was left? Beast Boy sighed then morphed into a falcon and flew above the ally. Even though it was foggy out, the distant mountains made an outline in the moonlight. THE MOUNTAINS! Hey, it was worth a shot right?
