Chapter 2

"Any luck?" Cyborg questioned after they had congregated back at Titan Tower.

"We did not have any, no." Star replied. Beast Boy shrugged.

"We saw him." Robin said.

"But he got away." Raven finished simply from behind her hood.

"So he got away with the artifact thingy?" BB questioned.

"Yes, he got away with it." Raven confirmed.

"What did this bandit look like anyway?" Star questioned, looking at Robin.

Robin shrugged and shook his head. "Don't know. He was covered completely in black." He turned to Raven. "Can you estimate his height Raven?"

Raven closed her eyes, trying to retain the image of him. That wasn't that hard, and she could see him now, hovering over her. Somehow though, measurement evaded her. "A foot or so shorter then Cyborg." She replied simply, opening her eyes again.

Robin nodded, then looked to Star. "It will be useless to go looking for him now. He's long gone. However, we can go to the owner of the museum and ask them if that's all that was stolen."

"I'll look up the relic." Raven said, walking toward the computer.

Robin turned to look at her. "What?"

"I said I'll look up the relic, try to figure out what they wanted with it." Raven replied as she stopped in front of the large computer.

"He probably just wanted to sell it on the black market. I'll look it up when we get back, you should probably meditate Raven, I saw what you did to that street." Robin said carefully.

"What?" Cyborg questioned, Raven just turned to look at Robin.

"It was an accident. It happens. I am fine." Raven assured him in her usual callous voice.

"We'll look it up, I promise. Just meditate for a little while." Robin said before turning and making his way out of the T-Tower. Raven watched as the other three left behind him.

She really did need to meditate then.
