Side Note: '...' thoughts. "..." speaking.

Chapter 1

Her head hurt and it was throbbing. It called for her to awaken. But the pain was keeping her.

There were flashes of memories shooting through her mind. There was her birthday present from Raven, the club, they came home, they went to bed, she got up to get a sandwich, then--nothing.

"Wake up." A voice. Sultry and alluring. Yet it hid a kind of demonic evil underneath. She knew that voice all to well.

'Slade.' Her eyes shot open. She tried to pinpoint the source of his voice. But it was kind of hard to do in pitch black.

Then, all the lights turned on at once, temporarily blinding her. There the figure stood, not 10 feet from where she was. He took a step closer, a menacing look under his mask. He took another step.

"Glad to see you awake." Another step closer.

With every step Slade took, Starfire would scoot back to compensate.

"I'm sure Robin will is missing his Star very much and will be willing to give ANYTHING to get you back." He said all too menacingly.

"What are you going to do to me?" Starfire had run out of room. Her back was now against a wall. Every step Slade took towards her, a chill would run through her. She no resembled a child cowering before an angry parent.

Slade bent down to look Starfire face-to-face. "Whatever will bring Robin here." And with that, he left.

The scared alien girl could feel tears welling up in her eyes. Slade was going to hurt Robin. And he was going to hurt her first.

Her mind flashed to the thing she cared about most—Raven. She hoped to high heavens that Slade wouldn't bring any harm to Raven.

A tear fell down the girl's face and landed on her locket. The one she had received from the lavender-haired girl last nigh. She took it in her hand and dried it off. Making sure to tuck it into her shirt safely and out of sight.

Another tear fell. She curled up against the wall, as if trying to disappear. She was scared. And alone. She didn't like it.

"How's she doing?" A concerned Beast Boy entered the main room.

"She's still in her room. She hasn't come out all day." Cyborg looked up from his computer.

"Not even to eat?"

Cyborg just shook his head. "This is all kinda comin' down hard on her."

The green one sighed. "Should I go try and give her something to eat?"

"Nah. Robin's already doing that now."

"Okay. Well, how's your search going?"

An exhale from Cyborg. "Nothing yet. But I WILL find Starfire. You?"

"I searched the whole dang city twice, even the outskirts…Nothin."

"Don't worry. We'll find her." The metal man tried to sound optimistic.

"We sure will." A thumbs up from Beastboy.

The words 'why' kept running through Raven's mind. Meditation had failed her today. Any forms of relaxation had failed her also. Her whole mind was on Starfire. Was she okay? What was in store for her? How was she going to get her back?

Maybe she should just go out right now, find Slade, and kick his ass. If he even lays ONE little finger on Starfire, she would send him into an alternate dimension where he would die a slow, painful death.

"That's it. I'm going to go now."

Knock-knock.

A growl of frustration. Obviously, someone who's going to hinder her soon-to-be-rescue-mission.

"Raven, I've got some food." It was Robin.

"Leave it by the door." Her voice was weak from hunger and exhaustion.

"Just make sure you eat it. Even if you're not hungry." He said out of brotherly concern. There was a sound of something being set on the floor and fading footsteps.

Making sure the footsteps had died out completely, Raven slowly opened her door and left the sanctuary of her room. She rounded a corner and walked smack into Robin. She kept her cool even though she almost, literally, jumped out of her skin.

"Hey Raven." He sounded almost as if he were expecting her—which he was.

"Robin." She acknowledged.

"Where you off to?"

"Nowhere." She lied.

"You can't go after her. Not by yourself."

"I can try."

"But will you succeed?"

Raven was defeated. "No."

"I know you're willing to do whatever it takes to get Starfire back—but you can't go putting your life in danger also."

"Yeah. Guess you're right." She turned her sights to the floor.

"Don't worry," Robin started to lead the distraught girl back to her room, "we'll find her soon."

"I know we will."

"I'll be sure to tell you any leads we get. Now get back and get some rest." He left Raven at her door.

Truth is, Raven hadn't eaten at all ever since Starfire turned up missing. Even though it's been about a day since, and not eating any real food at the club last night, the hunger had started to kick in.

But she had that feeling. She was too worried over Starfire to find time to eat.

Robin had told her to get some rest, food included. He was already busy tracking Starfire, she didn't want to add more to his plate. She didn't want to betray his trust either. Sure he was bossy, but most of the time, he knew best. And even sometimes be—brotherly.

So she picked up the tray of food left at her door and took it into her room to be eaten.

Author's Note: End of Chapter 1. More soon. Review so I know if I need to add more chapters.
