Robin paced back and forth in his room, worrying about Ananova. He hoped that she was alright. She was a great little sister. He hated himself for letting her get captured by Slade. He blamed himself for it all. If only he had kept a closer eye on her. Oh, what an idiot he was! Robin banged his fist on his desk. He knew that Slade wanted her for her psychic abilities that not even Ananova knew about. Well, maybe she did now. Or not. Robin could just picture Slade torturing the girl for a show of her abilities that she didn't know she had. It tore him to peices.

Robin walked out of his room to see if anyone had any new information about Slade's whereabouts. He walked out into the main room of the tower to see everyone scattered doing their assignments to find Slade.

"Is there any new information?" Robin asked as he walked to the center of the room.

"Not yet. We're trying as hard as we can. Don't worry, we'll find her." Cyborg reported. Robin rubbed his face with one hand. He was really worried. What would his dad say if he found out? He didn't even want to think about it. Ananova had been through enough over the years. Once the bad guys knew who the man behind the batman mask was, they all wanted to get at him. Most of them were able to get to him by kidnapping Ananova. But through that she always came out ok.

"I can try to find her. Do you want me to?" Raven spoke up. Robin nodded.

"Yeah. Thanks Raven." She just nodded and levitated to her normal position. Robin heard her mutter her usual phrase while meditating. Everyone was silent, watching Raven at her work. Soon a black raven sprouted from her and took off through the wall.

-----------------------------------

Ananova sat upright as she felt Raven enter her mind. Luckily Slade didn't see.

"Ananova, are you alright?" Ananova heard Raven say.

"Yeah, I'm alright. How is Robin and everybody?"

"Worried about you. Has Slade hurt you in anyway? What's been going on there?"

"He hasn't hurt me phsyically. I found out that he's my dad. I know it sounds strange, but I know it's true. As for the going's on, he's been teaching me to use my power. I'm psychic ya know."

"Yeah, Robin told us. Slade's your dad!"

"Yeah. I know the whole story. Not only is he my dad, but he killed the people that I thought were my parents. But he's treating me well."

"How far have you gotten in mastering your powers?"

"I can move everything in the fort, levitate, and teleport, but not far. I think that's it."

"Alright. Be careful though, Slade will want to control your powers and he can't do that if you get too powerful." Ananova felt Raven's presence leave her mind. She settled back down and her mind went blank agian.

--------------------------------

Raven opened her eyes about twenty minutes later. She related all that Ananova had told her to the others. Robin's eyes grew wide with shock when Raven told them that Slade was Ananova's father. He just couldn't believe it. But if Ananova knew it to be true, than it was. Ananova was almost never wrong.

But it was still hard not to worry. Robin found himself wonering how Slade was going to keep Ananova's power under control.
