Chapter 1
Captured
The day started out normal. Robin was studying all his information on Slade. Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing Game Station, and Raven and Starfire were in Raven's room levatating around her crystal ball. They chanted the words: ''Azarath Metrion Zynthos" All of a sudden, they were sucked into the crystal ball. They suddenly were on an abandoned street corner. it was raining, but they did not feel it.
"Raven?" Starfire said "The sky is leaking, but I do not feel it. Is this normal?" Before Raven could answer, a small girl, who only looked about ten years old, walked by them. She had long, flowing pink hair and bright emerald eyes. She was wearing a tight black short-sleeved shirtand beige parachute pants with gray sneakers. She had a black back pack on and was holding an umbrella over her head. A black van with no winows in the back pulled up beside her. The girl looked up curiousely at the van. Two men wearing all black and a black ski masks jumped out of the back of the van. One held her so she would not get away and before she could scream, the other one put a wet cloth in her mouth and around her head. Her back pack was ripped off her and her umbrella fell to the ground. She struggled to get free but the men held on tight. Starfire yelled: "Let her go!" She fired one of her starbolts at them, but it faded through them and hit the ground. The men picked up the girl and put her in the truck, closed the door, and drove away.
"Raven..." Starfire said "What just happened? My starbolts went right through them. Are they. . . Ghosts?"
"No." Raven said. She walked towards the 'BUS STOP' sign and reached out for it. Her hand fazed through it. Starfire gasped "It seems that we aren't even it our world." She looked at Starfire. "We're in a memory. Someone is in pain and calling for help and she's reached us first. We need to help her."
"Then we should leave and tell Robin and the others!"
"Yes," Raven said "we should. But first, we should follow that van and find out where they are taking her."
"Agreed." Starfire said. They flew in the direction that the van went.
