Beast Boy turned over and looked at her. He seemed very confused.
"What did you just say?" he asked as if his own ears had failed him.
"I just saw Catherine," Raven said again.
"But Catherine was well...she was...she is... Catherine's gone Raven,"
"No Beast Boy the girl we fought today with Slade is our Catherine,"
He stared at her.
"Why would our daughter be evil?"
"Because Slade took her Beast Boy,"
"How do you know it's Catherine?"
"Because I sa-"
Raven stopped. She had seen Catherine and River on the roof. Obviously though River had not wanted anyone to know they were meeting. Raven looked at Beast Boy. She couldn't lie to him. But she couldn't tell the whole truth.
"I recognized her eyes," Raven said.
"I don't understand. We have to talk to her then," Beast Boy said.
He was about to jump out of bed when Raven stopped him.
"Beast Boy wait. I am not even sure if this is our Catherine. Let's not get the others worked up." she said.
He nodded and slipped back into the bed.

Morning was an unusually dark one. The clouds were gray and the sound of thunder could be heard miles away. Yet there was no rain or lightning. River walked past everyone else. He walked up to Raven who was drinking some tea.
"Raven could I talk to you...alone," he muttered.
"Yeah sure," Raven said slowly.
River took Raven out into the hall. He sighed and looked up a lot unsure of what to say.
"Raven about last night..."
"I take it you don't want me to tell anyone?"
"Please. I would only put her in more danger,"
"More...danger?"
"Yeah Nightengail works for Slade. We fought her yesterday don't you remember?"
"I remember..."
River suddently gasped. He put his hand on his mouth. Raven looked at him.
"River what's the matter?" Raven asked.
"This is not good Raven...I think I just cost Nightengail her life," he said.
"What do you mean her life?"
He pulled back his turtleneck to reveal a hickey.
"We kinda gave each other hickeys..."
"How can a hickey cost Nightengail her life?"
"I gave her a hickey to..."
"River spit it out!"
"If Slade sees the hickey he'll know she's been seeing someone... and he might hurt her more,"
Raven looked hurt. The thought of her child with that mad man. River looked over his sholder.
"Look I have to go find her," he said.
"You don't know where she is," Raven said.
"Not true. When we were..." he paused, "making out on the roof I slipped a tracker in her pocket,"
She nodded.
"Go now then River I'll tell the others you went to get me something," Raven said.
River nodded then was off.
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"You ungrateful little wrench," Slade yelled.
He threw Nightengail into the wall and kicked her. This had been going on for about an hour. He had caught her in the morning and seen the hickey. It was obvious to see. Once again she refused to tell him who the hickey giver was. But never had he beaten her this hard. Blood ran from her forehead.
"How dare you go and disrespect me like that," He muttered.
Slade punched her in the face. She yelped of pain and was taken back. He kicked her and she fell. It was so painful. She clutched her sides. She was covered in bruises. Nightengail fell to a heap on the ground. She leaned against the wall. Slade walked over and kicked her side.
"You wait here child while I go get something that will really teach you a lesson," he said harshly.
He was probably talking about his chain. Already he had used his leather whip. The chains hurt worse though. He had used them before on her. Nightengail fell from the wall. It had never hurt like this. Her whole body ached. She heard footsteps. No. He couldn't be back already. It takes him awhile to get the chain. It's on the other side of the city in another hideout. But it wasen't Slade. It was her knight in shining armor.
River ran in and saw Nightengail in a heap. He quickly was at her side. She rested in his arms her eyes barely open. He pushed aside some hair from her face. There was a cut on her forehead and one on her cheek.
"River...is that you?" she asked.
"Yeah Nightengail I'm going to get you out of here," he assured her.
Her eyes were wide open then they closed.
"No River if I go he's sure to finish me," she whispered.
"I'm not going to leave you here to die!"
"How did you find me?"
"I put a tracker in your pocket,"
"Front pocket or back pocket?"
"Back pocket,"
She smiled.
"You naughty boy," she said laughing a tad.
River picked her up.
"Come on Nightengail I'm getting you out of here," he said.
She simply moaned and closed her eyes. By the time they got out of the hideout River heard a yell. It must be Slade. He had found out she was missing.

Nightengail lay in a bed in the hospital wing of the tower (whatever it's called). Slowly she opened her eyes. River and the rest of the titans stood over her. River was sitting next to her.
"River...where am I?" she asked.
"Your in Titans Tower," he replied.
"You little lady took quite a beating," Cyborg said. "Any girl your age would have croaked,"
Raven and Beast Boy were quiet. Finally Beast Boy walked out of the room his eyes burning. He couldn't see her like this. Not in a hospital bed. Raven followed after him. Robin turned to River.
"River I-"
"Dad before you say anything I want you to know something. Nightengail didn't want to work with Slade okay? He would hurt her if she didn't. She didn't have a choice." River said.
"Look River I know that but she's a criminal. We have to put her in jail,"
"No dad I won't let you! I love her! What about you? Mom told me that you worked for Slade. You weren't put away in jail,"
"River we have to think about this okay,"
Robin walked out of the room. Starfire followed her angry husband but gave River a kiss on the head. Cyborg followed after leaving River and Nightengail alone. He looked at her. She looked so weak and innocent. He held her hand in his and kissed it.
"Did you mean that?" she asked.
"Mean what?"
"That you love me..."
"Well yeah cause I do,"
She smiled and looked at him. Her eyes were the same though. Even though her outside was beaten and bruised her eyes kept their sparkle.
"Good,"
"Good what?"
"Good River cause I love you to,"
He smiled and leaned over placing a kiss on her lips. When he returned sitting she sat up. Then tears fell from her face.
"River I don't want them to take me away," she cried.
He instantly was sitting on the bed holding her. Her head on his chest and his arms wrapped around her.
"I won't let them Nightengail. I'm not going to let anybody take you away from me,"
"Do you promise?"
"Yeah I do promise. I would never lie to you"
They sat there in each others arms. Nightengail cried like she had always wanted to. After all these years she could finally cry without worring about punishment. Even better she was crying in the arms of someone she loved.
