The answer was originally a well, but after I thought about it, under Titans Tower made a little more sense. Also, i'd like to thank ReadingRaven for trying to figure the riddle out. Even though you didn't solve it, your guess was greatly appreciated! Now, on with the story! R&R!
The air in Titans Tower was errily silent. The only audiable sounds came from the med bay. A few beeps would emit from Star's heart monitor and ever so often and the Jaison twins would exchange a few words. Robin sighed as he stared at his watch. 3:00 am. He'd been sitting outside the med bay for almost an hour and neither twin had yet to inform him on his girlfriend's condition. Just as he was about to knock on the door, Joy emerged from the room. Her face held no readable expression and held tightly in her pale hands were Star's medical charts.
"How is she?" Robin asked frantically. Joy breathed deeply before answering.
"She will be alright. We determined that she wasn't raped...but that dosen't mean someone didn't try to." the sorceress' words made the boy wonder's jaw and fists clench in anger. "She has a slight cuncussion to the left side of her head, many bruises and a fracture to her right arm. The injuries will heal in no time once Argyle performs a healing spell."
"Thanks, Joy." Robin said while trying to surpress his anger.
"You can see her now if you want."
Robin nodded and entered the room. The twins had dressed Star in a pair of Robin's sweat pants and a light pink t-shirt. Her hair had been contained in a band, bringing it out of her face. The boy wonder smiled weakly at the sight and sat down next to her. He gently held her hand and stoaked her soft skin with his thumb.
"I love you, Star...please, come out of this." he whispered to her.

"Dude! You've been running for 2 miles! Where the hell are you going!?" Beast Boy screamed as he and Cyborg chased Bohusk down the streets of Jump.
"I told you, ya grass stain! I know where Raven is!" the hazel boy shouted in responce.
"Well it'd be nice if you'd let us know too!" Cyborg panted as he tried to keep up with the two boys. Lugging over 1000 pounds of metal armor around isn't easy. Bohusk didn't answer, he just kept running until he came to the bay.
"BB, get us across the water." he demanded. Beast Boy gave an aggrivated huff and morphed into a tyrodactyl. Once he'd carried both boys to the top of Titans Tower, he morphed back into his usual form. Bohusk started to run off again, but Cyborg grabbed and held him by his coat's hood.
"Before yall go runnin' off again, tell me where you are going!" demanded the robotic man.
"Raven is down thier!" he screamed while yanking his hood out of Vic's grasp. Moments later, the three Titan boys stood in the Tower's basement. The dank and musty scent filled the changeling's sensitive nose, causing him to cought a bit.
"Man, we really should clean down here every once in a while."
"This comming from the guy who's underwear needs to be caught with a net before they're washed!?" Bohusk laughed. Beast Boy only rolled his eyes before following Jhonen. The T-Sub and Robin's R-Cycle were parked near most of the tower's water pipes. A large housing sat over a well that ran into the bay. Bohusk kicked the top off to reveal a figure wrapped in a blue cloth. He reached inside the watery chamber and pulled the figure into his arms. Beast Boy recognized the cloth as Raven's cloak and pulled it away to reveal the dark beauty, badly beaten and unconsious. His emerald eyes welled up with tears as he examined her body. Her leotard had been slashed away until only two strips remained, one on her top half and one on her bottom. She had the same bruises as Starfire and the same red, blue and purple marks in the insides of her legs.
"Raven." Gar sobbed as Jhonen handed the mage over to him. Raven's once pained expression turned somber once she felt Gar's arms surround her.
"B...Beast...Boy." she mumbled, her violet eyes fluttering as she tried struggled to awaken.
"Dont' worry, Rae. I'm here." he soothed while rushing back upstairs.

"How about you go get some rest?" Aj asked to her leader. Robin had gone for more than 24 hours without sleep, trying to find the missing Titan girls. "Joy and I can take over from here."
"No, i'll be ok. I'm never leaving her side again." Robin said quickly, never taking his masked eyes off the alien beauty before him. "And when I find Slade, he'll wish he never even laied eyes on her." Aj jumped at the sudden emotional change from Robin. She'd never felt such bitter hatred from Robin before. She was about to say something when her thoughts were cut off by Beast Boy bursting into the room with Raven in his arms. Robin, Joy and AJ were mortified as they discovered Raven was in the same condition as Starfire.
It took less than 5 minutes for Raven to be hooked up to an IV and heart monitor. The boys left the room while the Jaisons cleaned Raven's wounds and changed her clothes.
"Beast Boy is not gonna like this." Aj whispered as she went over a few medical tests that had came back on Raven.
"What?" Joy asked once she was finished dressing Raven. Aj handed the clipboard over to her sister and Joy's ice blue gaze drifted over the charts. Suddenly, they flashed with hatred and anger.
"Slade will die tonight." she said through clenched teeth.
Olivia- Thanks again to all who reviewed and I hope you continue to do so! I bet most of you can already figure out what's wrong with Raven and why Joy wants to kill Slade soo badly right now. If you can't, you'll just have to wait until the next chapter to find out.
