Chapter 2- Raising the Stakes
Maiden- I've decided to continue this story! But please be patient with me, for school has started back up and I already have alot on my plate with my other fics and my 2 co-writers. Dimebag James and WingsxOfxCaos. I promise you I will update as often as I can.
"So, what do you think Slade wants with Starfire?" Falcon asked while patroling the city with Raven. They were aproximately 100 feet in the air, looking over the city below them.
"Don't know, but it can't be good. I'm just worried about what Slade ment by the 'game' he wants to play with us."
"Maybe, thiers more to this than he's leading on?"
"Could be. But for now, I just hope that AJ and Joy can find Starfire before our deadline."
"Yeah, me too. The Jaisons can't sence non-earthy aura. Starfire is an alien, therefore they can't see where she is."
Raven didn't have time to respond to her sister, fore a red beam blasted her out of the sky. Falcon dove to catch her sister before she hit the ground. Raven was stunned, but not harmed.
"What in Azar's name was that?" Raven asked as she stood upright again.
"Slade." Falcon hissed through clenched teeth. 30 robots stood in battle formation in front of the two sorceresses with guns raised.
"Azarath, metrion, zinthos!" shouted the twins. Black and white magic swirled around in the air before distroying half the robotic army.
Meanwhile, Robin, Beast Boy and Bohusk had searched every hideout Slade had used in the past, but no luck on finding thier missing team member.
"Only 21 hours left, we gotta hurry!" Robin shouted as he blew up the remains of the hideout with his electric disks.
"Dude, didn't Slade say he would give us a clue or something every 3 hours?" asked Beast Boy. Just as he said this, Robin's comunicator beeped. He flipped it open to reveal none other than Slade himself.
"Speak of the fuckin' devil!" Bohusk growled.
"3 hours down and 21 more to go. I have to say Robin, I thought you would be on top of this one, but I see you must be loosing your touch." laughed the villian.
"Shut up you maniacal bastard! Just tell us where Starfire is!" Robin screamed.
"Now what fun would that be? I will, however, give you a clue...If you can answer this question correctly."
The three boys nodded thier heads for him to continue.
"What is...Starfire's favorite color?"
All three male Titans laughed.
"Is that all?" asked Bohusk while wiping his eyes. "If that's all you got then you might as well go ahead and hand her over."
"Word of advice. You might want to think before answering."
"Why should we think about it when we know it's pink?" asked Beast Boy.
"Is that your final answer?" The boys nodded in agreement. "Then your answer is...wrong."
"What!?" screamed the guys.
"Her favorite color is not pink. It's red. Can any of you guess why?"
Clueless stares had settled upon each Titan's face.
"It's because of Robin."
"Me?" asked the boy wonder in confusion.
"Yes. It is because of you that Starfire likes this color, because of her infatuation with you. It's your favorite color and is the one that you wear most of. Nice try gentelman, but quite good enough. Now, let's raise the stakes shall we."
Back with Raven and Falcon-
"How many more of these abominations are thier!?" Falcon screamed to her sister. With every robot they distroyed, thier were 2 more waiting in the wings to take it's place.
"Call the guys! We need backup!" Raven shouted over the blasts of magic. Falcon reached for her comunicator but was caught off gaurd as a single robot threw her into the side of a building. As soon as she was away from her sister, one robot used a large bazooka looking gun and pointed it at Raven. He pulled the trigger and a red energy net encased her.
"Vanessa!" Rachel screamed. But Falcon didn't hear her. She had been knocked unconsious.
Minutes later, she awoke in someone's arms. Her vision was still a little fuzzy, but she could make out Bohusk's camo jacket just inches from her face.
"Jhonen." she asked in a slightly raspy voice.
"Nessa! You're awake!" he beamed, happy to see his girlfriend alive and well. He hugged her tightly as she came out of her grogginess.
"Where's Raven?" Beast Boy asked. Falcon burried her head in Bohusk's chest.
"The robots took her." She responded with tears brimming her blue eyes.
"I swear i'm gonna kill that bastard!" BB thundered.
"So that's what Slade ment by raising the stakes of the game. It must be that everytime we answer a question wrong, another one of us is taken." Robin stated matter-of-factly.
"How much longer until the next question?" Bohusk asked. Robin looked at his watch.
"About 2 hours. We need to get back to the tower and see if Joy and Aj can help us."
With Slade, Raven and Starfire
"Raven!" a voice cried. The elder Roth twin raised her head to find the room she was in, pitch black. She tried to move, but her arms and legs were bound to a metal table with an anti magic charm. Her eyes adjusted to the dark and saw a clump of red hair hanging off the side of a metal table beside her.
"Starfire?" Raven called.
"Friend! Oh I am most relieved to see that you are alright!"
"Starfire, where are we?"
"I do not know."
"Lovely to see you're awake my dear." came Slade's voice. The two girls looked up to see the orange and black villain just a few feet away from them.
"Why are you doing this?" Raven hissed.
"Your team has many flaws, my dear. And I'm just pointing them out to you in the form of a game. You see, in order for the others to get you back, they must first answer a question about you. And if they answer said question correctly, they can move on to the riddle. If they answer that correctly as well, they can have one of you back. But, if they answer either the question or riddle wrong, another one of you Titans will 'disapear'. Knowledge is something the Teen Titans lack. And that is something you must have to win this game. The Titans have only 19 hours to find Starfire and 22 hours to find Raven."
