Chapter Three

"Raven's missing!"

"Where could she have gone?" Starfire asked.

"Could it have been Durga?" Cyborg suggested. "I tried to find her using her communicator, but it seems to be offline."

"I bet it is Durga. She probably wants to finish the job she started." Robin concluded. "Starfire and Cyborg, you two check the city for any signs as to where Durga might be, and stop by that Jewelry store, see if there's any clues." He commanded.

"Where will you be?" Starfire asked.

"I'm going to search Raven's Room with Beast Boy, maybe there are some clues as to who really took her and where they might be." Robin answered.

Cyborg and Starfire left and went through the city as quickly and carefully as they could. Robin led Beast Boy back to Raven's room and didn't like what they saw.

Raven's bed was unmade and everything else was in perfect order.

"Nothing torn apart, no sign of a struggle…" Robin murmured to himself.

"Why is that important?" Beast Boy asked.

"It means that she didn't fight. There's a chance she left willingly. There may have not been another person involved. She was acting a little strange yesterday, maybe something has been bothering her. Or it could mean she was hurt badly enough from yesterday that she couldn't fight off her attacker. It could be a million things and there's nothing here to tell us what it could be."

Beast Boy frowned. "You think Cyborg and Star will find anything?"

Robin shook his head slowly.

The two Titans soon found out that Robin had been right.

Raven woke up in a large, poorly lit room. Well, more like building. She was lying on the ground and in front of her was a man. She could only see his back, and his shoes. They were the same boots she saw before she went unconscious. Her captor. He appeared to be watching television. Several at the same time. She couldn't see what was on the screen and didn't much care. She started to try to sneak out, but she had hardly moved a muscle when the man turned around and looked at her.

It was the man from the park.

"You!" Raven exclaimed as she jumped up.

"How's your head?" Rama asked ignoring the fear in her voice.

Raven looked at him with confusion, then remembered she had hit her head. "You should know, what did you hit me with?" Raven retorted with animosity.

"Me? I didn't hit you with anything. I was trying to get your attention when you fell and hit your head on the floor."

"Why kidnap me?"

"Kidnap? Your free to leave at any time."

"I guess I'll just…" Raven said backing away slowly…

"Not yet. You don't even know why we are here."

Raven rubbed her head. He was telling the truth. "Where are we?"

"We are in an old abandoned warehouse." he answered turning back to his TV's

"Why?" Raven asked after he didn't elaborate.

"To help you." Rama replied.

Raven looked at him with an eyebrow raised.

"You told me last night that you thought your friends wouldn't really care if you went missing. So now I'm showing you how they really do feel about you. They believe you've been kidnapped or something or other. They just found out a little while ago. I've been recording. Would you like me to start from the beginning?" He said indicating to the televisions.

Raven looked at the screens. They were of the Tower. Inside and outside. She could see her friends talking in the commons area.

"What time is it? How long did it take them to realize I wasn't there?" Raven asked Rama.

"They found out you were gone a little after noon." Rama answered.

"See. They don't even bother to check on me until half the day is gone."

"Or." Rama said objectively. "They simply know you like your space."

Raven realized that was probably true.

Rama took out a very very large remote, larger than their own (which is quite big because of Cyborg and his technology). He clicked a couple buttons and sound came and she could hear the Titans conversation. Robin was taking charge as usual and was assigning them places to search.

"See. They care."

"They would do that for a stranger." Raven replied.

"Very well, keep watching. Maybe they will surprise you. You never know how people feel about you. You can never know how you affect people and what you mean to them, just as you think they don't know how much you care for them."

***

After the Titans had done a thorough search for Raven, they got all the help they could get. Other Titans, Police, even put her in the news. All the while Raven watched them, analyzing every moment. Raven wasn't sure how he did it, but the cameras seemed to always be in the right spots and seemed to change. There must have been at least eighty different cameras. She wasn't thinking about how Rama had done this, she didn't know how long she intended to stay, she only cared about how her friends reacted to her disappearance.

The Titans currently sat on the couch with a dozen phones on the table. They all sat glumly looking at the phones, hoping for one to ring. They would occasionally talk about ideas or just tried to cheer each other up with words of encouragement, but it always went back to the silence.

Soon enough it became dark and they all started yawning.

"Who wants first watch?" Robin asked standing up sadly.

After they all looked at each other with heads down, Beast Boy raised his hand reluctantly.

"Good night Beast Boy," They all said saying their farewells. Cyborg gave him a pat on the back and with that they all left for some sleep.

What Robin had meant by watch was watch over the phones.

This was when Raven got to see each individuals reaction to her disappearance.

Robin remained strong for his teammates, but beat himself up about the fact that one of his team members wasn't safe at home. He tortured himself for not making sure things were all right where she was when she was fighting Durga. I'm the team leader, I should know better, were what his thoughts ran around. He didn't get a very restful sleep.

Starfire worried constantly. You could tell by the look on her face. Her eyes were sad as was her mouth. Her usual cheerful demeanor was dimmed. She paced around her room for a long while before sadly climbing into bed. What shall I do without my best friend? Starfire thought to herself. She didn't have the best dreams.

Cyborg also beat himself up, but not as harsh as the leader of the team. I should have been watching over her, He thought to himself. He felt like she was his little sister. Like he was a failure. He grabbed the sides of a table and leaned on it looking down on the cold hard surface lost in his own thoughts. He doesn't sleep, so he didn't sleep poorly or have bad dreams.

And then there's Beast Boy.

He sat glumly on the couch, only his head the only thing upright, arms spread out widely. He sighed to himself as he watched the stupid phones that didn't ring. After a while he laid on the couch still facing the phones. He started thinking. A dangerous past time for him. He remembered Raven. How her teeth would clench when she yelled at him, her peaceful demeanor, the way she was always there for him. A tear ran from his cheek. What if I never see her again? Then I'll never get to tell her how…His thoughts were cut off by a ring of a phone.

Hope you like cliffhangers because I give those out all the time! tee hee! who do you think is calling? Why? I like to know what's running through your little minds. We'll off to do whatever it is that I do!
