Chapter 7:
The Search Begins
"Raven? Where do we begin?"
Raven answered without looking at Starfire, "By talking to Robin."
"But how shall we contact him if he is not here?"
Raven shook her head at Starfire's ignorance, and landed outside Jump City, in the hills. She sat down and began, what looked to be meditation to Starfire.
"Raven?"
"What?" Raven answered after being disturbed from her concentration for the second time.
"How can you do the meditation when we should be looking for Robin?"
"I am trying to locate his mind."
"Oh." And Starfire decided to let Raven do her thing. She knew when Raven did not wish to be disturbed.

Meanwhile, back at Titans Tower, Cyborg and Beastboy were keeping tabs on the Demon Portal. Before leaving, Raven had helped figure out a device that would be able to track its progress. Right now, to the visible eye, the portal did not seem to be getting any bigger. But the numbers on the screen did not lie. They were getting bigger every second.
"C'mon Raven. I hope you find Robin soon!" –Beastboy.
"Will you stop saying that!" –Cyborg.
"Dude! What is with you? Why do you not want to find Robin?" –Beastboy.
"Because!" –Cyborg.
"Because why!" –Beastboy.
Cyborg knew he shouldn't answer that, but he did anyway, "It is stupid, and pointless, for Raven and Starfire to search for him! They should not be out running around looking for our famous 'leader'! He is a liar! We can't trust him anymore, B! He could kill himself for all I care!"
Beastboy was shocked to hear Cyborg speak this way about Robin. For as long as he could remember, Cyborg and Robin had been best friends. They were almost like brothers sometimes. "How could you say that… you used to be such good—
"Friends? HA! I can't believe I ever believed that spiky haired jerk, who always smelled like cheap hair gel all the time! I'm glad he's gone!"

A black shadowy form flew from roof to roof---All he knew was he had to get there---(wherever there was)---That nagging annoyingly high pitched voice in the back of his mind telling, demanding to go there---With each step he took he got closer and the voice got louder--- Until he couldn't stand it anymore----
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Robin!" –Raven.
Once she had awakened from her trance by the scream, Raven felt Starfire's hand on her shoulder.
"Raven! What is wrong! Have you found---
"He's in Gotham City! We have to get there! He's losing—he won't make it---not without—
Starfire lifted Raven to her feet, "Which way should we go?"
"West." Raven tried to levitate but found her energy dangerously depleted. She fell to her knees, Starfire just barely catching her.
"Rest. I will aid you." Starfire carried Raven underneath her arms and flew towards Gotham City.
