Beastboy moved silently down the halls, trying to be as quick as possible without waking the others. He knew they wouldn't approve of what he was about to do. After all, hacking into someone's medical records was a federal crime. And, while Robin would do things like this without police permission, he would never do it without a concrete reason…and a dream that Beastboy had from the perspective of Raven would not be considered evidence in Robin's book. No, he would have to find the proof before telling the others.

He entered the main room within a minute of exiting his room. Then, he did something that he never before remembered doing; he headed over to the main computer and hopped into the chair. He felt confident as he started up the computer……which quickly disappeared as the word 'PASSWORD' flashed across the screen. He panicked; he didn't remember ever having been told of a password! Beastboy took a deep breath to calm himself before doing yet another action he didn't perform often; thinking a situation through.

It was either Cyborg or Robin that set up the system. So he began trying to type in things he figured they would use as passwords. Things like 'Chip', 'Teen Titans', and even 'Batman.' As he continued typing away, unbeknownst to him, a silent alarm tripped in Cyborg's room, activating him from his sleep mode.

Cyborg silently entered the main room, cannon ready as he snuck up on the dark figure on the chair typing rapidly at the main computer.

"Okay, I don't know who you are, but I want you to slowly step o-" He told the figure in a quiet warning before he was interrupted.

"Dude! Cy, it's me!" squeaked Beastboy as he poked up from behind the chair's back.

Cyborg nearly shot his buddy out of surprise. He quickly changed his arm back to normal. "I would wonder if this was a dream, but I don't have dreams. What are you doing?" He asked the green teen.

Beastboy hesitated, Cyborg might understand. Not that it mattered. It was clear that he wasn't going to be able to do this alone. After all, he couldn't even gain access to the systems.

"I…I think that Eva might have seen what happened to Raven."

Cyborg didn't laugh. He didn't smile, he didn't do anything other than stand there, towering above the other teen as shadows covered him, giving him a stoney look about him. Beastboy wasn't sure how the half metal man was going to react.

He was trying not to get his hopes up, he was also trying to hold the well of emotions that her name caused him. Cyborg had vowed to protect her, and he failed. He had lost another person he thought of as family. And now, as he turned his gaze on the tiny teen, he wondered if he was losing another in a different way. Beastboy had been drifting from them ever since that day, and Cyborg knew that Beastboy held onto the mystery that Raven had left behind when she vanished in much the same way that Robin did when Slade was killed by Terra. Now he was wondering whether he had finally cracked under the stress.

"Why do you think that?" His voice was an icy calm, he hoped that he was wrong, he hoped that Beastboy had really stumbled onto something.

Beastboy told him. Beastboy told him everything about his dream. It was hard, though, the visions hadn't been clear, but Beastboy had gotten the basic point. But it all served to trouble Cyborg even more. Now he was dreaming about what happened.

"If it was true, why do you think she wouldn't have said something?" He pointed out, trying to keep from jumping to too far of conclusions.

"She told me that she couldn't remember anything from before two months ago. That would have been about the time Raven…vanished." The last word was barely above a whisper.

Now that caught Cyborg's attention. "…that would fit if it was true…the shock of a brutal attack might cause partial memory lose, but usually of the moment. That wouldn't explain a total loss of memory."

Beastboy dropped his gaze; the spark of hope didn't die in his eyes. "I don't know…I just have this feeling, ya' know? Something about Eva…draws me, I guess, to her. And then this dream…there's something going on, Cy. There's something about Eva that connects her to Raven. I just know it…" He told his best friend quietly. But his voice was strong, mirroring his determination to find out the truthfulness of his feelings.

Cyborg sighed, but gave Beastboy a small smile. "Okay, I'm guessing you're trying to find her medical records?" Cyborg asked as he sat down on the chair at the same time Beastboy hoped out to stand beside it. Together, they hacked the medical records.

It was about 5 am when Robin climbed out of bed and entered the main room. He was shocked to find the two other male titans up and at the computer. He was usually the only person up at this hour. Before he could announce his presence, Cyborg spoke. "Robin, you need to see this." He didn't turn to look at him, and his voice was quiet. Whatever it was, it was serious.

Starfire woke to a cry of "DANMIT!" followed by a loud noise. She knew that someone had punched something hard. That sound was unmistakable. As was the conclusion that it was Robin. She quickly leapt from bed and dashed to the main room. "What is the matter, Robin?" She asked, concerned filling her voice. She was even more concern when she noticed that what was left of the team was already assembled in the room before her. Before her she saw a medical record dated the same night that Raven had vanished…an ambulance had picked someone up in the same place, even, just minutes before the Titans had arrived to that spot. Beside it was a police report of the attack that had occurred there. The victim was Eva. Linked to it was 46 others. One was one made up for Raven. The status of the victim on the top of that one was presumed homicide. But that wasn't all. The remaining 45 were all brutal murders. And 24 of them were all of teens with unique abilities. The rest were people, and this was quoted from the reports, 'who had been in the murder's way.'

Starfire felt sick as she scanned the reports that flashed onto the screen slowly. Each one was clearly censored. And each one had the same group looking into it; The Justice League.

"They knew. They had known what had happened just days afterwards. But they said nothing…" Robin stated, his voice quivering with a mixture of emotions. Disgust, hurt, sorrow, and anger were the clearest among them.

"We need to talk to Eva." Robin finally said after minutes of silence. "We'll leave at 7 this morning, so get ready." He finished as he left the room. Everyone else silently obeyed. It was the longest two hours of their lives. Cyborg left to shine up his metal parts, moving as slowly as he could muster in order to stretch out the time. He was nice and shiny by the end of that long stretch of time.

Robin left to the training area, debating whether or not he should train with the remaining three titans. But he scratched that idea fast. He just wanted to be alone to sort things out. After they talk to Eva, Robin would call up Batman to see why they would hide something this important from him. But, he just couldn't right now. No, it was not the time. He knew that Bruce would still be up. And, with something like this, Robin didn't care if he was waking him. He didn't want to talk to Bruce without having something to contribute, a selfish reason, he knew, but he just didn't want Bruce to have a reason to say that Robin and his team wouldn't be able to handle a case like this.

Starfire floated off to her room to dress. Taking a shower first, attempting to take a long time, but finding that, due to her unease, she was unable to stretch it longer then fifteen minutes. After that she entered her closet to dress before she changed her mind and changed clothes. This continued, and, although she had only a very limited selection of outfits, each one seemed a bit off, just a bit different to her. So, she continued to change and re-change before finally settling on the right skirt and top that was pretty much identical to every other shirt and skirt she rejected. Now that she no longer had anything else to try on, she moved to continue with the daily routine of mornings.

Beastboy headed to his room and dress. He fooled around with his clothes a little bit, not knowing what he could do for the whole two hours. After he finally ran out of things he could do to his uniform, he headed out of his room. He let his mind wander, his thoughts replaying the dream. His eyes closed for an instant.

His gaze dropped down to looked at the ashen hand covered in blood that flowed freely through the wound that extended through and through his body, just below his ribs. His vision danced as his gaze lifted to meet ecstatic golden eyes and, then, petrified blue…

He gasped as his eyes opened again. The dream seemed to have been trying to push more details at him. This one made him sick with sorrow. Even he knew that there was little chance that even a half-demon could survive a wound like that. He choked back a cry as his gaze lifted to see where his feet had taken him.

RAVEN. The words greeted him with an ominous feel. Beastboy no longer tried to stop the tears as he traced the words in the cold steel. The door opened automatically at his touch, opening quickly as if it was tired of not being used, to revel its dust room behind it. Raven had been the last in the room.

The light layer of dust that covered the room and window seemed to glimmer in the golden-orange light that filtered into the room from the rising sun, casting a dream-like glow to the entire room. Beastboy couldn't stop his feet as they moved forward and into the room.

It was 7:15 when they stopped the T-car in front of Eva's house, which was isolated from the rest of the block with yellow tape and people in blue uniforms were all over the place, searching through the grass on the lawn and walking in and out of the house. The teens quickly dashed from the car to the officer that stood just at the entrance to the enclosed crime scene. They knew this man was the chief. He turned at the sound of footsteps, but frowned when he saw who the source was. He cursed under his breath.

"Who called the Titans!?" He cried, scanning his men who all looked just as surprised as he was.

"What is going on!?" Robin demanded as he approached the Chief.

"Justice League doesn't want you all to get involved, so, I'm told not to tell." He told the Teen Titans. "And, I don't know who called you, but, you can just go back home."

"We never received a call, we're here to talk to Eva! Where is she?" Robin continued, losing patience fast.

The chief was silent and that was when two men exited the home, wheeling out a body bag on the gurney. The team paled and Cyborg step forward, stopping the two member of coroner's office without a word. Ignoring their protest, and before the Chief could stop him, Cyborg lifted the lid of the bag so he could see within. But, the others couldn't.

Cyborg fought back the bile that tried to make its way out as he dropped the flap again. "I thought there were suppose to be police watching the house to protect her!" He cried out, disgusted.

"We're still trying to find their parts." The Chief responded solemnly. "But, that's not Eva."

It was then that Robin's communicator went off. The noise it emitted seemed inappropriate for the moment, making Robin all the more unwilling to answer. But, when the caller persisted, Robin finally answered. He didn't even say anything, nor did he need to as Aqualad said the three words they had been waiting the past two months for.

"I found her."

The words were heard by the others. Starfire, Beastboy, Cybrog, and even the Chief all went silent as the yellow device slipped from Robin's hand and fell to the ground. It hit the grass with a small thud as the even more unexpected words poured out.

"I think she is still alive."


A/N: So, another chapter that served only as development. But, it didn't fit in with the next chapter so I had to separate it. Which is also why it's so short. Anywho, by Monday I will have the next chapter up.

Sorry about the wait, guys! Parents grounded me from the internet. Yeah, I know, stuipd, right? Well, not as stupid as the time they grounded me from the library for 3 months....*rolls eyes* Anyways, I decided to post this without the responses so you all didn't have to wait any longer. The next chapter just needs a few more edits and should be posted by Monday. In that chapter I will respond to all your reviews. Until then, again, I am sorry for the wait! Please enjoy!
