"MISSING" - PART 1 - SLADE PUTS HIS PLAN INTO ACTION.
"MISSING" - PART 1
Robin could feel the breeze running across his body and the soft grass beneath him. Behind the mask, he opened his eyes. The light from the sun hit his masked eyes and he sat up, as to avoid the sunlight directly. It was then that he realized he was sitting in a massive field. Everywhere he looked the land was covered with grass and flowers. It was peaceful.
Robin immediately stood up. He was a hero, a crime fighter, a protector. The word peaceful didn't fall into that category. Suspicion began to bubble deep with in Robin's mind. It was time to figure out where he was and why. Therefore, Robin began to walk around and explore.
As he walked up a hill, something red and purple came into view. Robin could make out the shape of a figure.
The figure turned around to face him, revealing Starfire.
"Starfire?" Robin was surprised to see her here.
"Hello, Robin." she said, smiling at him.
"Starfire, what is this place?" Robin thought that perhaps Starfire would have the answers he didn't. When Robin got no response he spoke again. "Star?"
Starfire continued to smile at Robin and she extended her hand to him.
Robin looked at her and then her hand. Slowly, he raised his hand to hers, grasping it gently. Starfire smiled at him and he couldn't help but smile back at her.
The clouds in the sky turned grey and the wind became more powerful. Robin turned his head, observing. He briefly wondered how the peaceful surroundings could turn so dark so suddenly. He turned his head back to Starfire and gasped.
Holding his hand was no longer Starfire. In her place was Slade, his one eyed narrowed. Slade gripped Robin's hand tightly and Robin was sure he could hear his own bone crushing under the force. Slade released Robin's hand and the boy wonder crumpled to his knees, gripping his hand in pain.
Robin looked up and narrowed his eyes. "Where's, Starfire?"
Slade remained silent.
"Where is she?!" Robin demanded. He needed to know where she was. People don't just disappear.
Slade murmured his answer. "Somewhere were you can't find her."
Robin's head lifted off of his desk abruptly, his breathing heavy. It didn't take him long to realize that what he just experienced was a nightmare. Running his fingers through his hair Robin calmed down.
The hissing of a door opening caught his attention.
Light suddenly entered the small, dark room and Robin turned his head to the side. Upon looking he saw Raven standing just a few feet away from his desk. Robin took note that her arms were crossed.
"I don't need a lecture right now, Raven," he said as he shuffled through some papers. "I'm working--"
"I felt you're emotions." Raven dead panned.
Robin stood silent.
"Why do you keep doing this to yourself, Robin?"
"Raven... did you read my mind?"
"No. Your thoughts worked their way into mine while I was mediating."
"I'm sorry. It's just that I've been working on this case we have on Slade. He's been on my mind a lot lately..."
"So has Starfire."
"I guess that means you know, huh?" Robin murmured, turning around and tapping the keys on his laptop.
"Cyborg and Beast Boy know. Of course I know," Raven waited for Robin to say something. When he didn't she continued. "You can't have both, Robin. You need to chose. Either you keep your obsession with Slade or you fix your relationship with Starfire."
This caught Robin's attention. "What are you talking--"
"It's not too late. She still cares for you," Raven turned towards the door. She looked back at Robin before walking out. "Try to get some sleep."
The door closed behind her and Robin was left at his desk, alone, the only sources of light coming from his laptop screen, the small desk lamp, and the moon's light shining through the window. Robin opened up a draw to his desk and pulled something out.
It was a photo. One of him and Starfire back when they were dating. A small smile shaped it's way on to Robin's face. Maybe he and Starfire still had a chance...
Robin shook his head. He couldn't concern himself with that right now. He had to focus. His eyes went back to a list of stolen items from Jump City's lab. Everything on the list were things Slade and his robots stole.
Most of the thing's stolen weren't that valuable, just some equipment, but there was on thing in particular that caught Robin's attention. It was a disc. Not much information was included about the disc when Jump City's scientist gave him the list of stolen items, but according to the information provided the disc was experimental and dangerous.
Robin narrowed his eyes. "What are you planning, Slade?"
TT
The smell of tofu, waffles, bacon, tea and numerous other breakfast items hung in the air in Titans tower. Beast Boy and Cyborg had decided to work 'magic' in the kitchen while the girls watched. Raven was more focused on her tea and Starfire was the only one really watching.
"Man, once Robin sees all of this he'll have to say yes." Cyborg said as he flipped a pancake.
"Do you really think you're plan is going to work?" Raven asked, raising a brow.
"Of course it is, Raven," Beast Boy told her, grinning. He lowered his voice and leaned in close to her ear, pointing at Starfire who was watching Cyborg cook. "Besides, if it doesn't... we have an ace up our sleeve."
It was at the moment the door to the common room opened. Robin stepped into the room and made his way towards the kitchen. Taking a seat at the table, he found the newspaper and made himself comfortable.
"Oooh, Robin," began Beast Boy. "Cyborg and I wanted to have a word with you?"
Robin sighed and placed his newspaper down. "What is it?"
"Not so fast, oh wonderful leader of ours," Cyborg said as he placed food in front of Robin. "Take a load off and enjoy some breakfast."
"Have some coffee." added Beast Boy, pouring coffee into Robin's favorite mug and placing the mug in front of him.
Robin rested his head on the palm of his hand. "What do you two want?"
Cyborg and Beast Boy dropped the act and got down to the point.
"Can we have the day off, please?" Beast Bo and Cyborg asked, giving Robin the puppy dog eyes.
"No. We have training--"
"C'mon! We always train!" Beast Boy pointed out in frustration. "Can't we have just one day off?"
"It would mean a lot to Starfire." Cyborg whispered in Robin's ear.
"Don't. Even. Dare." Robin growled through gritted teeth, eyes narrowed.
"Hey, Star," Beast Boy called out happily. "Robin said we can have the day off!"
"No, wait! I didn't--"
"That is glorious!" Starfire cried out in a joyful voice. "Can we all venture to the movie theater and munch upon corn that is popped?"
"I don't know," Cyborg began innocently, looking at Robin with a sly grin. "What do you think, Robin?"
"Uh... the movie theater sounds... good." Robin said. He was going to make Cyborg and Beast Boy pay for this later on during training.
"Wonderful! I shall leave food prepared for Silkie before we depart." Starfire announced before leaving the common room.
Robin briefly smiled at her before she left, something the others noticed. They began to snicker and Robin glared at them.
"Not a word."
TT
The smile on Beast Boy's face slowly began to slip away as minutes passed. Him, as well as the other Titans, were stuck on line outside the movie theater. To Beast Boy, it felt like forever as they waited on line.
"What movie did you say we're here for?" Robin asked.
"Wicked Scary: The Revival." Beast Boy answered dramatically.
"And this is the final installment of the Wicked Scary movies so we have to see it." Cyborg added.
"Please, I thought the last two movies were the final installments," Starfire began. "Is this really the last movie?"
"I really wish it was, but I doubt it." Raven said dryly.
"The line is moving!" Cyborg shouted happily.
The line began to move quickly and the Titans were nearing the front.
"We're next!" Beast Boy said happily, stars shining in his eyes. He was so close to seeing the movie he could practically taste it, nothing could ruin the moment for him.
The Titans communicators began to beep, alerting them of a crime. Beast Boy could practically feel his heart breaking at the sound.
"Sorry guys," Robin began. "But the movie is going to have to wait."
"Nooo!" Cyborg and Beast Boy cried in union, tears running down their cheeks.
"Come on boys." Raven said with a small smile on her face, using her powers to drag the boys away from the movie theater.
"The crime scene is close," Robin told the others. "Let's not waist time and get there quickly."
The Titans arrived at the scene of the crime in a matter of minutes. When they got there, they saw Slade's henchmen creating havoc. With them were Cinderblock, Overload and Plasmus, who were terrorizing the citizens. The citizens were quickly evacuating the street.
"What exactly are they doing?" Starfire asked, hovering lower so she was closer to her teammates.
"I'm not sure," Cyborg responded. "It doesn't appear that they're after anything."
"We can find out what they're doing here later. Right now, I want them brought to justice," Robin said, eyes narrowed. He pointed at the enemy. "Titans, go!"
Robin's battle cry started the battle.
Using his bo staff, Robin made a path for himself against Slade's robot army. Raven chanted her magical words and used her energy to create a force field. Her force field protected her against Overload's attack. Cyborg and Beast Boy combined their strength to fight against Plasmus. Starfire took on Cinderblock.
Robin's strength and speed was top notch as he crashed his bo-staff into the face of a robot. His hands moved quickly and he reached for his birdarangs. Pulling out five birdarangs, he threw them just as quickly as he moved. Robin felt that if he could just win this battle, he would be one step closer to finding Slade.
Thinking of Slade only made Robin fight harder, and the harder he fought, the harder Slade's robots fought.
One robot snuck up on Robin from behind and grabbed on to his shoulders. The robot's fingers began to spark with electricity and Robin could feel his body being shocked. His body felt heavy from the pain and his legs went out from under him. He fell to the floor with a thump.
Starfire noticed this quickly. She diverted her attention away from her battle with Cinderblock and looked over at Robin. "Robin?!"
Starfire's distraction worked well in Cinderblock's favor. He raised his fist up high, and quickly brought them back down. Starfire's eyes went wide as she felt Cinderblock's hands crashing down on her back. The force of his attack was enough to send Starfire to the ground and knock her unconscious.
Robin witnessed everything, and tried his hardest to stand up but he couldn't. "Star... Starfire..."
Cinderblock picked up Starfire's body in his hands and began to walk away.
"You're not getting away!" Cyborg cried as he aimed his sonic cannon at Cinderblock. Beast Boy roared in his T-Rex form and joined Cyborg's side. Raven joined the boys, her fist shining with magic.
Before any of them could attack, Slade's robots surrounded them. The orange part of the faces came off the robots. Behind the robots faces were timers.
"Raven!" Cyborg cried.
"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos!"
An explosion that could have taken out half of the city didn't hurt a soul. Thanks to Raven's powers, the explosion only took out the robots wrapped in a bubble she created. When the bubble dissolved, all that was left was a pile of broken robots, and four Titans. Plasmus, Overload and Cinderblock was gone, and they had taken Starfire with them.

Starfire slowly opened her eyes, only to be blinded by a bright light above her. She titled her head to the side and groaned.
"I'm glad you have finally awoken, Starfire." Slade said softly, stepping into the light.
As soon as Slade stepped into view Starfire tried to attack, but realized she couldn't. It didn't take her long to realize that she was bound to a lab table, her arms and legs cuffed. Starfire narrowed her eyes.
"Don't make a face like that, Starfire," Slade said calmly. "I'm sure Robin would prefer for you to smile."
"When Robin finds me--"
"He'll be in for a surprise. My dear child, you are going to destroy Robin for me."
"I would never betray Robin! Never!"
"I thought you might say that," Slade said, snapping his fingers. Lights turned on revealing lab equipment. Slade pulled out a disc from his belt pocket. "Which is why I'm just going to have to force you."
TT
The T-car came to a full stop and Cyborg stepped out of the car. At that moment Beast Boy dropped from the sky, changing from a hawk back to a human. Behind them Raven stepped out of a black portal.
Robin's back was turned to them. He was completely still and silent, his cape flowing with the wind.
"Any sign of her?" Robin's voice was lacking emotion.
Raven sighed deeply. "My search came up empty. I can't even sense her mind."
"I tried sniffing her put but any trail of Starfire is gone." Beast Boy said softly. He was being careful not to upset Robin.
"Keep looking. I want her found."
"Robin, we've been searching for hours," Cyborg said. "It's obvious Slade doesn't want her found."
"Are you suggesting we give up then?!" Robin growled, turning so he could glare at Cyborg.
"I'm not saying that! I just think we should come up with a new plan and think things through."
"The more time we waist the harder it will be to find her!"
Both boys were glaring at each other now, neither one of them willing to back down. The silent tension was interrupted by the communicators alarm ringing.
Beast Boy was the one to speak. "Trouble."
Robin looked at his team. "Raven, I want you to teleport us to the crime scene. We'll finish up there as quickly as possible, then we'll continue our search for Starfire."
Raven nodded and wrapped her teammates in her powers, teleporting them all to the crime scene.
The sky was dark, and the streets were almost completely empty. One loan figure stood in the middle of the street.
It was a female, dressed in grey boots that went up to the knee and matching grey gloves that reached the elbow. A grey belt with pockets was around her waist. She wore a black body suit and covering her face was a black and orange mask, one identical to Slade's. On her forehead was grey S, Slade's symbol.
"That symbol...," Robin breathed. His fist clenched. "Titans, she's connected to Slade somehow. I want her captured. If we can do that we may be able to find Starfire."
"You're the boss." Beast Boy said before changing into a tiger and launching himself at the enemy.
The girl was fast on her feet and twisted her body to avoid Beast Boy. Her hands were swift and she quickly threw a ball at him. The ball exploded into a net and trapped Beast Boy against the ground.
Cyborg was next. He decided to aim his sonic cannon at the girl, but she saw his attack coming. She jumped into the air gracefully and did a cartwheel in the air. She landed next to Cyborg, attached a silver S to his chest, and jumped away. The S glowed blue before exploding, covering Cyborg in a thick ice.
Raven snuck up behind the girl, using her powers to bind the girl. The girl managed to wiggle an arm free and reach into her belt. She pulled out an exploding disc and threw it at Raven. This action enabled the girl to escape from Raven's grasp and knock Raven to the ground at the same time.
The only ones left was Robin and the girl.
Robin ran at the girl and she did the same. He threw a punch at her and she threw a punch at him. Robin threw a kick, and she did the same. She was mimicking his actions with ease.
Robin quickly figured out that she was toying with him. Hand to hand combat wouldn't work with her. Robin jumped back and an idea came to him. He would lure her into a trap.
Robin ran towards the girl again. He jumped on his hands and prepared himself to kick her, and like he predicted, the girl did the same. That's when Robin shifted his weight and maneuvered his hands to his belt. He grabbed his bo-staff and wacked the girl off balance, making her fall on to her back.
The boy wonder stood over the fallen girl and pointed his boy staff at her neck.
"I want answers," Robin began, his body leaning down and his hands grabbing a fist full of the mask. He began to yank the mask off of the girl's face. "And you're..."
Robin's eyes went wide as a pair of emerald eyes looked back at him. A wave of red hair fell limp around the girl's shoulders and orange face,
Robin voice mirrored the shocked emotions he was feeling. "Starfire?"
