The Teen Titans spent the next hours searching for their lost friend. Cyborg had built tracking devices into the communicators, so finding the warehouse did not take long, but that only brought more questions. Like why was Starfire's shirt here?
Robin searched the area for clues while Cyborg searched the remains of the robots Starfire had destroyed. Raven stood there cradling the shirt they had found in her arms.
Raven spoke which was uncommon for her: "I shouldn't have let her go off"
Robin "It isn't your fault Raven, this was obviously a trap. Brother Blood must have wanted her for some reason. We're going to get her back"
Cyborg was looking around with different types of infared scanners: "Why would he change his MO? He's always had it out for me, why Star all of a sudden?"
Robin: "It doesn't matter. Brother Blood had his robots attack that power plant as a distraction to draw Star here, well we're going to get her back" still searching the area for clues, but still finding nothing.
Beastboy who had been sniffing around in the form of a hound dog changed back to his human form and spoke "uhh. We have one problem with your plan. It wasn't Brother Blood who did this. It was Slade"
The others stopped and stared at him Robin spoke "Slade? Are you sure?"
Beastboy "Duh, a dog's sense of smell is 25 times that of a human's. Slade may be careful enough to leave no clues you can find, but something here made him sweat. And he did a lot of talking, I can still smell his breath in the air."
These words silenced the Titans. Robin spoke "I am not sure how Slade got those robots, or what he wants with Starfire, but he won't have her long" even as he said the words he sounded nervous. It was obvious that Slade put a lot of planning into this, and Robin knew that anything Slade put this much work into wouldn't easily be overcome. Just one question remained in his mind, just like the others. Why Starfire? Well, that and why wasn't she wearing a shirt?
They spent the next few days searching all of Slade's known bases, some suspected ones as well. Cyborg hacked into the Hive, retrieving the information on the sale of the robots to an unknown party who paid for them with a bank account which was also to an alias. There was no clues to be had there.
Cyborg came up with a plan, he figured with Starfire's alien physiology she would have a different heat pattern than a human, so all they had to do was scan the city using satellites and this would find her. They spent a day searching through the scans, but found nothing. Beastboy used his animal talents to search for her throughout the city.
One thing became obvious, wherever she was, she was no longer in the city, or anywhere near it.
