Once Robin pulled away, the red lights flared red and the alarm sounded off as everyone came in. Everyone groggily came in, but Starfire yelped with surprise as she saw me, "Friend Raven! You are unharmed!" She speeds towards me and crushes me in her hug.

"Uhhhh Sta-Starfire, a-air." I gasped out as Starfire let go, and she smiled and Cyborg and Beastboy pulled me into a hug.

"Hey Rae, you're doin ok, I knew my lil' sis would be ok." Cyborg smiles, as Beastboy wiped his eyes and stared at me.

"Ohhhh you have to hear my joke Rae." Beastboy cut in with his goofy smile, I roll my eyes. Beastboy and Cyborg let go of me, but Beastboy smiled and began to tell me another of his 'good' jokes. "Okay, what's black, white, and laughing?" I quirked an eyebrow.

"Ummm, I hate to break this 'welcome back' fest, but we have to get to the piers." Robin instructed, everyone nodded stiffly, and we drove/fly to the piers. I looked around me, something was so off, this break in doesn't add up and I feel some one else's aura around me as we arrived at the docks.

I looked around, everything seemed normal, but there was that unfamiliar aura around me, and yet it felt so familiar. We followed Robin into the huge warehouse that was government property. Of course, some one would steal something from the government. I thought as I blended into the darkness, we came to an opening with five different paths. I sigh, this was just so not my day or morning since it was only one o'clock in the morning. I swear I am going to kill this villain.

"Alright split up! And if you find anything contact one of us immediately." With that Robin and everyone else ran/flew into different directions; except for me. I looked around; the aura was becoming stronger, and as I followed its path down the one hall no one else went down. Of course I am the one to find this.

I levitated down the hall as followed the aura's trail, but I could feel chills start to go up and down my spine. I started to come to an opening, and the aura was full blast at me; yep I had it. I looked in the center of the building to see the one person who has made my life a living hell-literary.

The man turned around; the orange and black suit I came to easily recognize; Slade.

"Well, hello Raven," Slade broke the silence as I stood in the middle of the room, while he stood next to computers with each view of the Titans in view. Starfire was being attacked by his slade bots, and she was loosing. Beastboy was running away from them and screaming switching from his animal to human form. Cyborg was trying to fight them off with his sonic blast, but they kept on coming at him. Then I turned my attention to Robin who was attacking a robot that looked exactly like Slade, while the robot taunted him and just kept dodging his moves. "Don't you love to see how easily your friends are tricked? But, you, no, you knew exactly where to find me and you knew something was off didn't you?" He walked away from the computers and stood a few yards away from me, as I stood there emotionless.

"What do you want Slade?" I asked irritated as I tried thinking of plans, his eye narrowed as he circled around me as I shifted my gaze to watch his movements.

"If I told you then, that would ruin the surprise wouldn't it?" I gritted my teeth, he was wearing down my patience. "I guess Red X couldn't handle keeping a Titan for a few days." He tsked under his breath as I was offended.

"Excuse me, but I took him down and I am sure I can do that to you without using my powers." I replied defiantly as he stopped circling me and stood in front of me.

"Are you implying that you think you are better than me Raven?" He asked skeptically, I heard Brave start to take over me and before I could stop myself I had just gotten myself into deep shit.

"I don't think, I KNOW." I saw him chuckle, as he came closer to me.

"Well, then let's make this interesting then shall we?" Slade asked as walked behind me and whispered in my ear.

"What do you mean Slade?" I spat as I tried to get my courage back.

"Well, look at your friends," I looked towards the screen to see all my friends captured by his slade bots, all unconscious. "You win, without your powers, I'll let your friends go free and so do you and I will show you how to bring Terra back," that stopped me; Terra, that little bitch who sold us out, but did help us, and she made Beastboy happy. "But, if I win you work for me." He had his hands wrapped around my shoulders. I stood there, so many possibilities.

"How do I know you won't go back on your word?" I asked as I felt him chuckle.

"I am a man of my word, isn't that worth something?" I let a small laugh escape me,

"You're word is worth shit Slade." I felt him push his body closer to mine.

"Such horrible language, but do we have a deal?"

I bit on my lip, I can do this, if I do BeastBoy will be happy and have Terra, it is the least I can do for him. "Deal."

"Let's begin."

"Let's," With that I kicked him the groin and he fell back, but before i could axe kick him he back flipped out of the way, and my foot left an indent in the concrete right where I wanted Slade. Helooked up as he narrowed his eye and came straight toward me, Yep, so not my day.
