Hiya peoples,
Sorry I was so late to update. I got grounded from the computer. Heh, heh. Go figure. Well without further ado, the next chapter. I know short but I'll add the next one maybe tomorrow.
On with the show!
"What happened?"
Robin walked through the store, broken glass and wires crunching under his feet.
He looked around for any sign of Raven but he found not a trace.
Overload couldn't have done all this…
A frightened squeal caught his attention and he slowly looked under the counter.
"Frank?"
"Please don't hurt me. Take anything you like. You can have it all." He was hunched under the shelf, head between his knees, shaking uncontrollably.
"Frank it's me, Robin, you know, from the Teen Titans."
Another girly squeal and Frank jumped from under the counter and crushed Robin with a hug that could've easily matched Starfire's.
"Frank…get…off," Robin grunted and pushed him away, "What happened."
"Well, Overload was here and then Raven came in and started attacking him with some little dagger black things from her hands. Then Overload got mad and shot electric things from his hand. Then Raven started chanting Azerath Metrion Zinthos and the room started turning all black…"
Robin sighed. He didn't have time for one of Frank's explanations.
"Frank," he interrupted, "did Raven defeat Overload?"
"Yeah, easily."
"Then what happened?"
"Someone took her." Frank shrugged.
"What!" He grabbed Frank's collar, "Who took her?"
"Oh, I don't know. It was this guy."
He shook him a little. "I don't have time for this. Who took her?"
Frank gave him a wry smile. "Oooo, why are you caring so much Robin? Even the leader of the Teen Titans has secrets. Or perhaps a girlfriend?"
With a growl Robin swung around and held Frank up against the wall.
"Raven is not my girlfriend. She is a part of my team."
"Yeah, suuure. That's what she said about you."
Robin scowled in frustration.
"Frank, I'm going to give you one more chance. You tell me who took Raven. And if you want to continue to play this little game I'll have you out of business before you can plug in a TV."
To emphasize his point his pulled back his hand and put it in a fist.
"Ok, ok," Frank yelped, "It was a tall guy, wore metal plates, and had a black and orange mask. Raven called him Slack…Slad, something like that."
"Slade," Robin breathed.
"Yeah, Slade. He drugged her with…something."
"And he took her? Why?" Robin said to himself.
"You think I know that? I thought you were the detective."
"I wasn't talking to you," he growled.
With no regard for Frank's well being Robin dropped him down on the ground with a thump.
"Wait were are going? You can't just leave me here."
"I'm sending the others. Tell them what happened."
"Starfire s coming? To my store?"
"Um…yeah sure. Star's coming. And Cyborg and Beastboy."
"Ooo! Ok I'll wait here."
Robin rolled his eyes. "Good."
"So, what are you going to do now?" he asked as Robin stomped out the door.
"I'm going to find Raven."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A dull throbbing awoke Raven. Where was she? She shakily stood up steadying herself using the wall and tried to get a good look at her surroundings.
It wasn't much. No windows, no furniture and a hard concrete floor. The walls were painted a dull white and in the middle a dark gray door with a lock.
How did she get here? A sudden image flashed through her head and she panicked.
"Slade!"
"You called?" The door opened and Slade stepped in the doorway.
"Let me go!" Raven's hand glowed but when she tried to use her powers she found it impossible to summon the energy.
"Your powers are back so quickly? You recover faster than what I would have thought." He snapped to two robots. "Restrain her."
Before she knew it her arms were behind her back and Slade was coming at her with a needle.
"You may want to relax," he told the struggling Raven, "This may hurt if you don't."
"Get away from me!"
But against her wishes Slade came closer aiming the needle at her neck.
"There is a main artery that if I 'accidentally' hit it would kill you. So I suggest you keep still."
"But without me, you can't continue with your little 'plan,'" she countered.
Slade stepped back. "You make things very difficult, Raven…" He motioned to the robots again, "Chain her up."
Two chains wrapped around her wrists and pinned her to the wall. Another hooked around her neck.
"Do you want to try this again?" he said as moved the needle under her chin.
Raven had no choice but to have her head forced upwards and the drug be put in her bloodstream.
Almost instantly her vision clouded and feeling the nauseating dizziness she slumped down in her bonds.
"I hope this will be easier tomorrow," Slade turned his head as he walked out the door.
"You're…stupid."
Slade stopped and faced her, "What."
"One day….you'll be too late. I will get my powers back,…and when I do…remember Slade, your not immortal anymore….I will make no hesitation to kill you…but then Trigon won't be able to save you will he?"
Slade raised his arm and slapped her across the face.
"You are lucky to be alive. Do not strain that." He waved to one of the robots. "Keep her tied up for the night. No food or water in the morning."
Raven hung her head in despair.
"Robin, where are you?"
A/N: To all my faithful reviewers…
Linwe Melwasul-Well Slade acted like a little kid in The End series (sorta) so I wanted him to sort of stay that way. I have no idea how old Robin is but he seems like a 16 year old. Maybe he's 17. Sadly yes. Slade is old in the comic books but he didn't look young in Apprentice when Robin kicked off his mask. He has white hair and a white beard. Weird huh? Yay story alerts! I know kung-fu too. (well sort of. Kenpo karate. It's almost the same thing.
Bunnysquirrel-…yeah, candy is fun….Wouldn't the bo-staff be thinner on the ends? If they retract into themselves? Or maybe I'm just thinking too much. It IS a cartoon…
Hhgbh-Yeah, that sums it up pretty much. Don't worry the other TT's will be in it but it will be mostly R&R. Maybe Slade and Robin will fight them….hmm…That doesn't sound too bad…
RobinisDaBomb-Sorry I haven't updated. Grounded. It sucks. This chapter is kind of boring but I need it to connect everything else. Don't worry, the next chapter will be up tomorrow.
Chica De Los Ojos Café- Wow! I still remember how to spell your name! Go me. Oh c'mon. You know I can't tell you what will happen, it will ruin the story! Silly Goose. (my grandma says that. Hehe)
