Captured
The Titans continued to fight until Slade had defeated Robin. Robin laid on the ground and groaned in pain.
''Well, Titans, I must say this has been fun but I must be leaving now'' Slade said as he retreated. Slade was followed by his remaining robot minions. ''Wait! Come back and fight like a man!'' Beast Boy yelled at the retreating villain.
''Oh how I would love to'' Slade responded ''but I already have what I need''.
''Huh?'' the three remaining Titans said as one. Upon seeing Robin laying on the ground, Starfire gasped and quickly flew over to him. She lifted his head off the ground, and he moaned. Several bruises and cuts were evident on Robin's body. The Titans then looked around and noticed they were short one Titan. Cyborg was the first to notice, though.
''Uh ,guys? Where's Raven?'' Cyborg asked nervously.
The other Titans looked around for the sorceress. Cyborg then broke the silence. '' Slade's got her! He said he got what he came for! He took Raven!'' Cyborg yelled at the other Titans. ''Ugh'' Robin groaned and his eyes fluttered open. ''Robin!'' Starfire shouted and hugged him. ''Star….can't…breathe'' Robin said weakly. Starfire released him and blushed as she scratched the back of her head. ''Oh.. uh.. sorry , Robin''. ''What happened?'' Robin asked, confusion evident on his face.
Cyborg and Beast Boy averted their eyes to the ground. Another deafening silence filled the air. This time Beast Boy broke it. ''Slade took Raven and we don't know why'' he said as he was praying Robin wouldn't lose it. Luckily, he didn't. Well, not completely. ''How did you let them escape with her?'' Robin asked the other Titans in a calm voice. But they all knew he was angry.
Slade's lair
Raven was sitting in a metal chair and her arms, her legs as well, were held down by metal and bolts securing the metal to the chair . There was a collar around her neck that took long to prepare. Raven was slowly beginning to awaken. Her eyes fluttered opened, revealing amethyst orbs. She looked around. Everything was dark, except for the one light that hung above her. And one light only chases away so much of the dark. She came to discover her head was pounding and that she couldn't move her arms or her legs.
'Where am I?' Raven thought. Suddenly a voice cut through and interrupted her thoughts. ''Ah, I see you are awake'' Slade said as he stepped out of the shadows and revealed himself. Anger took place of confusion inside Raven. She tried to use her powers to slam him into a wall, only to find out she found out she couldn't. ''Why can't I use my powers?! What did you do to me?!'' Raven yelled at Slade. ''The collar around your neck is what's keeping you from using your powers and it took years to create'' Slade responded. ''Why did you take me?!'' Raven demanded an answer.
''The answer is quite simple, Raven. I need a new apprentice'' Slade answered.
''I will never ever help you!'' Raven screamed angrily . ''Oh, but I think you will, rather you want to or not'' Slade said, making Raven fear what he would do to her. ''You see, through a simple procedure, I'm going to take away your memories. Mind wipe, if you will and you will be my new apprentice'' Slade said and Raven shivered. She hoped the Titans would come and save her.
Titans tower
''So, tell me how you lost her'' Robin said, as he paced across the room. The other Titans sat on the sofa and watched him.
''I don't know, she just wasn't there when the battle ended. Slade had said when he retreated that he got what he needed, then he ran. We assume he meant Raven, I mean what else could he mean?'' Beast Boy said. ''Raven'' Robin took a breath. He had liked her, he just never admitted it . He liked her as in more than a friend. But he knew she probably didn't feel the same way. Most people, even himself, thought he was meant for Starfire , but now, he didn't feel that way.
