Chapter Seven

The Titan's went home dragging their most precious items with them. They didn't really care anymore. They still didn't have Raven back, and there was a possibility that one of their teammates, one of their friends, lied and caused them to lose Raven.

Cyborg sat on the couch and buried his face in his hands.

Robin looked out the window, fists still clenched tightly.

Starfire paced the room, arms clasped together, looking only at the floor.

Beast Boy remained as a dog on the couch, curled up, with droopy eyes that gazed into nothingness.

No speaking.

No smiling.

No Raven.

They sat together in despair long into the night. None of them could sleep (well maybe Cyborg, but he doesn't really sleep…) They needed each other. They each knew there was a possibility that they would never get Raven back, there wasn't much hope left. All they had was who took her, but it wasn't like he was going to step into their home and give her back.

Not exactly.

It was only a few hours after The Titans had met with Rama when the tower's alarm's went off. Someone was breaking into the Tower.

Raven? Durga? Rama? Someone they could beat up? (hopefully) They didn't know.

They had plenty of anger to fight though and they rushed off to face their intruder. They all raced downstairs and opened the door in a rush and immediately went into their fighting stances. There, standing before them was Rama. This motivated them even more. They didn't bother to ask why he was there, they didn't care, they wanted revenge. They wanted Raven back.

Robin launched the first attack with a flying sidekick. Rama quickly caught his foot and threw him back into the other Titans, causing them all to fall over.

"Don't you even want to know why I'm here?" Rama exclaimed.

"Are you going to give us Raven back?" Cyborg asked standing up.

"I can't, I" Rama started.

"Then we aren't interested." Robin declared.

"Just listen to me!" Rama yelled.

The Titans remained quiet.

"I'm not your enemy, despite what you might think. Now Raven is in real danger. I need your help to get her back. This may be your only chance at getting your friend back." Rama explained.

"You were the one who put her in danger." Cyborg pointed out.

"No! Let me explain. After Durga had injured Raven, she had doubts as to whether or not you really loved her. She told me this and I in turn helped her by taking her away and showing her how you reacted. She was free to leave at any time."

"Raven would never just watch us look for her!" Beast Boy exclaimed. In his own mind, I think.

"Your right, not entirely. I can persuade people, but only if there is a part of them that wants to do it. If her will power was strong enough she could have left without knowledge of how you cared for her. But then who knows how your relationships would hold. It could have torn you apart." Rama explained.

"Why would you care?" Beast Boy asked, still hostile.

"I have put it upon myself to save as many families as I can. I consider you to be a family, Raven included."

"Why?" Robin asked lowering his defense just a little.

"Because I could not do so for my own family. Now do you want to fight? Or save Raven from Durga?"

"When did Durga get her? Is this some sort of trap?" Robin questioned.

"No. Durga is devious and smart. She took Raven while I met with you. I can't explain much more, I don't know how long Durga will allow Raven to live. Will you join me?" Rama explained quickly.

Half a minute passed before Robin put his staff away and nodded. The other Titans followed their leader.

"Where is Durga?" Robin asked.

"I'm not sure." Rama replied regretfully.

Then they heard the explosion. It was far away, but they quickly ran behind the tower. Peeking from behind the tower to find themselves staring at a large black bird originating at a small island some ways in the distance over the ocean. Raven.

"Well, that sure was convenient" Beast Boy pointed out.

Robin rushed forward. "Titans, Go!"

***

Raven had been taken by Durga. She had been watching each unexpected item from the Titans when she was attacked from behind. She didn't stay conscious long.

Raven then found herself on a small Island, Durga standing behind her, and the sound of metal hitting together. Chains. Durga hadn't seen that she was awake yet.

Raven had only one chance.

She could see the Tower in the distance, barely visible in the dark. She wouldn't have been able to see it at all if the lights weren't on.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

She prayed the Titans were looking as she made a large explosion and signaled her friends with her Raven.

Durga noticed quickly and stopped Raven immediately by sending a large wave crashing over her. After Raven recovered from nearly behind crushed and drowned, Durga clamped the chain to her ankle. Raven's eyes followed the chain until she saw what was at the end of it. It was a weight. It had to weigh at least three hundred pounds. Durga was planning on drowning Raven right then and there.

There's that chapter. Sorry the last few have been short. Oh well. I can't make any promises the others will be different. We're almost done here folks. :'( happy polka dancing!
