Chapter 3- Tempers Rise

Maiden- My appologies for not being able to update sooner. School started back about a week ago and i've been really buisy with that and other fics. But I promise you I haven't forgotten about this one! R&R! And a special thanks to all who inspired me to continue with this fic!

Robin, Beast Boy, Bohusk and Falcon burst through the front doors of Titans Tower. Desperate to hear any news on the missing Titan Girls.

"Cyborg, report." demanded the boy wonder.

"Joy and Aj arrived while yall were gone. They're in the living room with Bee right now, trying to get a lock on Starfire...where's Raven?"

"She's gone." Falcon's voice just above a whisper. "Slade took her too." Cyborg's fists clenched in anger. It was a well known fact that Victor was very protective of the Roth sisters, especially Raven. He was thier unoffical big brother, and no one, especially Slade, was gonna harm them while he was around. "Raven and I were fighting an army of his drones. One knocked me out and another took Rachel."

"I'm gonna kill him. First Starfire, and now Raven!? He's gonna pay! His orange and black ass is mine!" he bellowed.

"Cyborg, calm down." came Bee's voice. He turned to see her and the Jaison twins. "What in the world has got you all upset, Vic?"

"That low down basterd, Slade, kidnapped Raven!"

Bee's expression turned from one of concern to one of worry.

"You get anything yet, girls?" Robin asked to the sorceress sisters.

"No. We can't find Starfire. Raven should be easy. But seeing as Slade is always two steps ahead of us every time, he's probably already taken precautionary measures. More than likely, an anti magic charm." AJ explained.

"So you can't track her at all?" Beast Boy asked.

"Everything we see is fuzzy. Those anti magic bindings have blocked out her aura just enough to where we can't see much." Joy finished.

"Damn that fuckin' ass hole!" Beast Boy screamed as he punched a rather large hole in the wall. He ran out of the room with tears staining his emerald eyes.

"I'll go talk to him." Falcon said while wriggling free of her boyfriend's grip.

"I ain't fixing that!" Bohusk shouted while pointing at the hole in the wall.

"Of course you're not!" came Falcon's sarcastic reply.

Garfeild sat on the shores of Titan's Island, tears streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry, Gar."

"Raven!?" he jolted around, expecting to see the girl of his dreams. Silky violet hair, milky white skin, curvy figure and blood red chakra. Everything was perfect about her, except for her eyes. Instead of sparkling amethyst, he saw shining cerulean.

"Oh, hey Vanessa." he turned back around to face the bay.

"We'll get her back." she said as she sat down next to him. She placed a hand over his and looked into his emerald eyes. Somehow, he could'nt look away from her icy gaze.

"I know...it's just...so hard, ya know. I mean, she was taken from me, before I could tell her...i love her."

"You can still tell her, Garfield. She's not gone forever, ya know."

Beast Boy smiled at the mage's kind words. But soon winced in pain as he felt sea water run over his right hand. When he punched the wall earlier, his knuckles had been split open and his entire hand was covered in blood. But he didn't notice it until now.

"What's wrong?" asked Falcon. Beast Boy lifted his bruised, bloody and swolen hand for the young mage to see.

"Here." she said, pulling off his grey battle glove. She cupped his large green hand in her small pale ones and a light blue light emited from them and closed the wound; the blood and bruising disapeared as well.

"Thanks, Nessa." Beast Boy sighed with relief.

"No problem."

The two sat and watched the waves crash along the beach.

"If something happens to her, i'll never forgive myself." he muttered.

"She'll be fine. We're talking about my sister, remember? She can handle whatever Slade can throw at her."

Beast Boy was about to answer, but the brooch holding Falcon's cloak closed started to flash red.

Seconds later, both Titans burst through the opps room door. The other 6 Titans stood in front of the monitor; Slade's silouette apparent on the large screen.

"Nice of you to join us, Beast Boy, Falcon." Slade said evily. "Now that everyone is present, we can begin part 2 of my little game."

"Part 2?" asked Bee.

"Yes, you see while part one consisted of a question and answer period for Starfire, part 2 is basically the same, but for Raven...and to raise the stakes even farther, Falcon, Aj and Joy are forbidden to answer."

Worry and doubt shot through Beast Boy's mind.

'Damn it! Vanessa and AJ were our aces in the hole! I hope we can get this right!' he thought.

"Your question is...who is Raven's favorite person on the team?"

Robin motioned for Beast Boy, Cyborg, Bohusk and Bee to come closer.

"Our best bet is to go with Falcon. She's the only one on the team that Raven will get close to...besides, she's her twin."

Everyone agreed and decided that Vanessa would be thier answer.

"We guess...Falcon." Robin said in a nervous voice.

"Bravo." Slade said excidedly. Titans thought they'd won Raven back. "Your answer is wrong." Everyone's hopes were dashed. "Beast Boy is the correct answer."

"Me?" the changeling asked feebly.

"Yes. You are Raven's favorite person, Garfeild. Although Raven loves her sister, she loves you the most." Slade seemed to be grinning wickedly behind his mask. "As I said before, knowledge is something this team lacks. And you won't get your precious girls back until you except and fix this flaw." the monitor went black. Each of the faces in the room fell in dissapointment. Bohusk looked at Beast Boy and Robin, who were taking this news the worst.

"Thier might be bugs on both of you mugs, but thier aint no bugs on me!" he laughed. Richard and Gar were about to jump the hazel eyed boy, but Slade's voice cut them off.

"And before I bid you goodnight, Titans...I have one more thing to say..." He snapped his fingers and Falcon dissapeared from the room in a yellow flash. "Goodluck." and Slade dissapered once again into the darkness.

Robin and Beast Boy turned to Jhonen who stood with his eyes wide and mouth agape; staring at the spot where Vanessa once stood.

"You were saying?" the boys asked.

"Aww, shut up!" Jhonen responded, refusing himself to cry. "I'm not worried! Not worried at all!....aww fuck! We're all screwed!" he scowled.

With Slade and the girls-

"Welcome to my game, Vanessa."

Falcon came face to face with the orange and black villian.

"Let. Us. Go!" she growled, her eyes flaring blood red.

"Now, now, Falcon. You must learn to control that temper of yours. No dought something you picked up from that appaling boyfriend of yours." he cackled. Falcon's rage grew, she lunged forward to rip his throat out, but anti-magic bindings held her still.

"I WILL KILL YOU!" she thundered in a demoness voice.

"I'd like to see you try." he smirked and walked away. Seconds later, Falcon's blood red eyes settled back down to cerulean.

"He's right about Jhonen rubbing off on you." came Raven's voice. Falcon turned her head to see Raven inbetween her and Starfire.

"Rachel!" Falcon screamed in joy. "You're ok!"

"Yes, Vanessa. I'm fine. But we won't be for long if we can't find a way out of here."
