Chapter 4: Troubled Past, Kidnapped Future.
A/N So now we get into a lovely game of angst, definite hatred, and a bit of bad language but hey in this situation anyone would be angry. You must understand that that is in the future but this is the beginnings of it so don't complain about there being only a little bit in this chapter! Please read and review but no flaming, it's just not nice, however I LOVE constructive criticism.

A BIG thank you to all of my reviewers you all are saints and probably why I continue to post stuff. Alright I'll shut up now and let you read.
Chapter 4
"DUDE!!! Did you see the look on Jinx's face when the police picked her up?!?" laughed Beast Boy "She looked like she was gonna murder Audra!!"
"Yeah, you really did a number on her and those other two jerks!" commented Cyborg playfully punching Audra in the shoulder. Audra smiled hesitantly and rubbed her shoulder where he had punched.
"Friend Audra did a most magnificent job fighting those glorfnak- kikentods." exclaimed Starfire causing confused looks all the way around the room. Robin entered just in time to break the silence after Star's comment.
"I think we all agree that Audra deserves this." he said holding out a Titans communicator. All the other Titans nodded in agreement, but Audra blanched and started to back away.
"I'm more trouble then it's worth...really...you don't want me on your team! I'll mess things up beyond all belief!! Things have happened...will happen that you just...." Audra stuttered and then fled from the room. The Teen Titans stood in shock at being told from somebody 'no'. "That was different." muttered Raven in her monotonous voice. "I think I need to talk to Audra, maybe you can accompany me Raven?" Robin asked. The Goth girl nodded and fallowed the leader from the main room. As the two headed towards the elevators Robin began to talk. "There is something we don't know about her that is obviously dangerous otherwise she wouldn't be so frightened of doing something with us. The only problem is we know nothing about her, not even a last name." "And you want me to read her mind and emotions while you talk to her about it." Raven finished. "If you would, I have a feeling it is important how she is feeling right now." robin answered relieved at not having to ask the girl. "Fine, but if it is something too personal I am not going to tell you, understand?" Robin nodded as they exited the tower. Raven and robin walked all the way around but did not find the missing girl. Suddenly Robin stopped short. "Rae. Over here." he called. His detective skills kicked in as he fallowed the tracks of Audra's boots. As he fallowed them he noticed irregularities indicating a small scale scuffle and then just two lines being dragged away to the ferry to Jump City docks. "Audra's been kidnapped is my guess." Robin said to Raven who now stood behind him. "Why would someone go to all the trouble of kidnapping a 18 year old girl on Titans Island?" Raven murmured slightly confused. "Because someone had something to do with why Audra didn't want to join." Robin muttered "I think we need to find out more about Miss.Audra." Bruce Wayne sat at his desk at home reading threw papers concerning buying and selling stock and properties, new inventions and other business issues for his concern. He was interrupted when Alfred came in bearing a telephone. "Master Bruce, Master Robin is on the phone for you sir. He says it is a matter of great urgency." called the butler in his heavy English accent. Bruce looked up in surprise; Robin never called much less during the day. Bruce nodded and picked up the phone. "What is it Robin." "Bruce listen a new Titan named Audra has been kidnapped, we're pretty sure by someone in your area. We don't even know her last name, but she is really powerful. She can control nature, and she's got a fair amount of martial arts training." Robin said in a continuous flow. "Slow down. Did you say her name was Audra?" Bruce asked while bringing up a computer file he had been working on in the lower levels of his home. "Yes. Why do you know something?" asked Robin anxiously. "Robin, do you remember the last crime lord we took down before you left?" "Weiser. Third largest in the city of Gothem." "Right. He got out of jail, no evidence except for a witness that never showed. She is listed here as a juvenile delinquent, but for testifying she was going to be cleared of all charges. A. Williams was reportedly associated with Weiser and had been caught threatening someone after breaking into their house. She had been caught three times before stealing. The police file states she was being blackmailed by Weiser." "Audra said she was more trouble then she was worth, something was seriously bothering her." Robin commented thoughtfully "Maybe it was what Weiser would do if she testified." "Robin the witness never showed up. She was last seen boarding a bus to Jump City Central." Audra moaned and opened her eyes. A sliver of light could be seen through a crack under a door and voices drifted threw the door. "Yes we've finally got her sir." a cold scratchy voice said fallowed by a brief silence "Of course. I'll bring her to Gothem right away." Audra's heart fell, Gothem was a day's drive from Jump City, the Titans would never find her there! Then it occurred to her that it could be a good thing the Titans couldn't find her because then they wouldn't get caught up in all of this. Weiser was going to kill her, she knew it. It was her own fault; she had left Gothem when he told her she couldn't, and now here she was bound and gagged like some pig about to be butchered. Misery filled her as she remembered how nice the Titans were to her, and how she had repaid them. The only reason Evil Element had come back was because of her, and then her simple walk to cool down had turned into a fight and a quick snatch which would make Robin waste his time looking for her. Robin, now there was probably the perfect guy; strong, handsome, and really sweet. Audra sighed; she'd never even have a chance with him now. "Time to leave my little jailbird." called the man she knew as Bouncer. His cold hands wrapped around her middle and he pitched her over his shoulder as if she were a bag of feathers. She was blindfolded and thrown in the back of a tinted suburban and transported to Weiser's newest estate. They threw her in a room with some new clothes and ordered her to change fast. The black pants and the long-sleeved black shirt fit tightly outlining her body. From there she went to the kingpin's lair in the heart of Gothem City. The rats ran freely around on the floor and the filth covered every inch of the abandoned office building. Men had relieved themselves all over the walls and floors of the first and second level, the third threw ninth was filled with the crime lords bounty and his many lovers, most not there by choice. The elevators had long since stopped working so it took them five minutes to get passed all of these disgusting areas and reach the tenth floor. Bouncer dropped her in a straight backed wooden chair and tied her down before leaving the room to get Weiser. The room was nicely decorated, but the wear and tare had begun to show. Bullet holes scattered the ceiling and one window was covered with a sheet of plywood suggesting someone had been thrown out of it. Audra shivered thinking about what happened to whoever happened to be the poor soul to tell Weiser she had left Gothem City. The desk in front of her had been repaired a few times from where someone had put a foot threw it, and even where someone had shot a straight line across the leg it. A dry dark red substance was spattered across one wall outlining to body shaped areas. Trash littered the floor as did gun shells, drug bags, chemical bottles and other disgusting things. A substance which Audra did not choose to identify was squashed into the carpet fallowing what looked like someone's intestines, but Audra really didn't want to think about that. A fire burned in a small canister filled with papers, probably containing incriminating information about the entire organization. A snake wound itself around a lamp hissing peacefully at Audra who positively detested such creatures. Ten minutes later the door opened, Audra gulped and prepared herself for whatever happened next.
