Phoenix! Hey I'm back and now to continue with the story! This chapter may be a little short so I apologize in advance

"What do you mean she's gone?!" asked Robin staring at his girlfriend with shock and confusion

"She is not in the tower at all Robin." stated Starfire sadly, lowering her head in shame

"Guys we have go after her, she could be in serious danger." replied Beast boy

"Yea, but how are we goin' to find her?, she could be anywhere in the city." asked Cyborg. Robin thought about it for a moment. One thing he knew was that they had to find her. She could easily be tricked by Slade or worse, she could easily be killed by Slade. He was NOT about to let a team member try to fight Slade alone and with no real experience of how to fight him.

"We're all going to search the city, she couldn't have gotten far. Cyborg, you go north, Star go south , Beast boy go east, and Raven go west. I'll just travel around and see if I notice her anywhere. " stated Robin. They all nodded and headed towards the door, all thinking the same thing, Where the heck is she?

Phoenix was flying northeast trying to get a feel of where her friend could be. She flew past the park and noticed two girls sitting on a park bench giggling and taking photos. It reminded her of when her and Jenny would go to the park.

Flashback

"Aww look Felicia, ducklings." a fourteen year old Felicia turned toward her friend who was pointing to a pond where a mother duck was teaching her ducklings how to swim. She smiled and reached into her brown bag and pulled out crumbled up pieces of bread. She then threw the pieces of bread towards the birds. They ate up the bread, quacked happily and continued on with their day making Felicia smile even harder.

"I love birds, their just so peaceful and elegant." said Jenny who walked to the bench that was adjacent to the pond. Felicia then sat down beside her best friend. The two girls then spent the rest of the day chatting and giggling about everything ranging from boys to school work. Felicia then knew it had been a day she would never forget.

End of Flashback

Phoenix sighed as she passed the park. Remembering that day sparked a flame inside her that made her search for her friend even harder. At this point, Phoenix didn't really care what Jenny had done, she just wanted her friend to be safe and be on the good side of the law and definitely away from that Slade guy.

Beast boy had been flying east for a while now and he was starting to get tired. He was also worried about Phoenix because she had no idea what she was getting herself into. Slade was not a guy you could just show up at his hideout and defeat him like there was nothing better to do, no this guy had skills, mad skills. He's even scared Robin almost to the point where he almost called Batman for back up. Slade also never played nice or even fair. He always had some sort of trick up his sleeve, so you were never really sure if you ever caught the real Slade and not one of his robots. He passed by some restaurants and a bridge and still no luck finding the orange bird.

"I really hope she didn't find Slade before we do, she's no where ready to face him." he said to himself as he went down another street.

Starfire had the privilege to go south of town, which was known to harbor most of the city's criminals but she could easily take them down, she was a Tamaranean after all. Tamaraneans are warriors who never surrender to a challenge or threat no matter how big or small. But this was a totally different challenge. She was looking for a medium sized orange bird who was looking for the deadliest villain's hideout in search of her friend and this part of town was not the safest place to look. Starfire had taken a liking to this new girl even though she didn't know too much about her. All she knew was that she got her powers from an unfortunate accident and came to their home in search of help, and on the day of her first battle with the Titans, she runs into an old friend of hers who happened to also be Slade's new apprentice. She knew that she couldn't give up looking for her new friend because she was in grave danger so she tried to look on the bright side. But as the night grew darker, the brighter side was starting to look dimmer and dimmer.

Raven was looking on the west side of town also known as the quiet side of town. She actually liked this part of town to be honest, no distractions, not too many emotions at once, everyone seemingly quiet and at peace at least for now. While looking over the houses, she started thinking about Phoenix. Sure she had only met the girl three days ago and sure she didn't know a lot about her but somewhere deep inside, she felt like they had a special connection, like they could relate in many ways. From the way Phoenix couldn't control her emotions at first and the way she felt when she was betrayed by her best friend, reminded her of some of the times she couldn't control her emotions or when she was betrayed by a friend. Raven felt very calm and understanding when it came to Phoenix, the same way she felt when it came to Melvin, Timmy and Teether. As she looked over each and every house in sight, she could only hope that the girl that she had grown to like would not be hurt or in any danger.

Cyborg was driving around the north part of town fear and worry flooding through him like a flowing stream. He was worried that she could have gotten hurt by some local thugs or someone could have mugged her and left her for dead. Or what if she had found Slade's hideout and he beat her almost to the brink of death? If that piece of shit had layed a hand on her I swear that I would make him wish he was never born. As he was thinking this, his grip on the steering wheel tightened to the point where he almost snapped it into two. He actually didn't know how he felt about the young firebreather, I mean sure she was pretty and very talented and smart but he knew a lot of pretty, talented and smart girls his age. But she wasn't his age, she's sixteen and he's twenty-one it wouldn't work out, would it? Of course it wouldn't work out but why did it seem like he didn't care? Would he really break a law for some girl he just met? He doesn't even know her, all he know is that he gets this really weird tingly feeling when he gets near her, that's normal right?

"For Slade's sake she better not have a scratch on her." he said a loud as he continued searching for his lost firebreather.

Robin was traveling southeast on the R cycle thinking she may have gone south to stay warm since her power was connected to heat. He was also feeling very guilty about having shouted at her like that. He was only trying to get her to understand that Slade is no ordinary criminal, he's a criminal mastermind that is not to be messed with. He was also worried that if she did actually Slade that he would rip her to shreds or worse he would trick her into joining him. Then he would have to deal with an electrically charged girl, a fire breathing girl who can also manipulate fire, and Slade. Like Slade wasn't enough trouble by himself. But besides that, Robin was starting to like Phoenix, he was starting to like this teacher role that he kind of established for himself. He was also experiencing the ups and downs of the role as teacher and mentor, like how to react when your pupil or student objects to your instructions or what to do when your student runs away to prove that your instructions were wrong and that they were right. Which is the exact situation he is in right now. And not knowing what to do just made Robin even more frustrated with himself. The only thing he knew he had to do was find Phoenix before she found Slade so that she wouldn't a terrible mistake.

"Ughhh...I hate saying this but what would Batman do?" he said a loud as he continued his search down another street.

Phoenix was still searching for Slade's hideout, but was coming up empty. She had been searching for a full two hours and had still found nothing. She was beginning to think about turning back towards the tower when out of the corner of her eye, she saw a blue spark fly through the sky towards the east. What the heck? it hadn't even been a minute before the next bolt of electricity flew threw the air. something's going on over there, maybe I should check it out, it could lead me to where Jenny and Slade are! she then started flying in the direction of the bolts.

After flying a good ten minutes and almost getting hit by the bolts once or twice, she finally made it to where they were coming from. She looked down and saw that she was near the docks and the bolts where coming out of one of the warehouses. She quickly but cautiously flew over to the building checking it out to make sure it was safe. She didn't fly too close to the building because she didn't want to be caught by any hidden sensors that could be anywhere on the property. She then noticed that the electric bolts where coming out of a window on the lower west side of the building closer to the ocean. As she flew closer to the window keeping a reasonable distance from being detected, she saw a small figure that looked to be locked in a prison cell firing the bolts out of the window. When she looked closer at the figure she noticed red hair and green eyes.

"Oh my gosh! Jenny!" the bird didn't know what to do but to watch her friend try her hardest to bust out of her cell.
