The day seemed gray as the members of the Teen Titans moped about their tower. Beast Boy had been unheard of for almost four days and everyone was worried. His communicator had been shut off; it was as if he had just vanished into thin air. In Ops center Robin was sitting on the couch with his feet kicked up, but he was not relaxing, rather trying to think. Cyborg was fidgeting with the computer still determined to find Beast Boy's signal. Starfire slouched as she flew very slowly back and forth, as if pacing. She finally stopped and looked to Cyborg, she gave him a look which seemed to ask if he had found any trace of their missing friend, but he only frowned and shook his head. Starfire sighed.

"I do not like this at all, friends might we try searching the city again?" she asked with little hope emitting from her voice.

"We've already done that at least fifteen times Star." Robin said a little shallow causing Starfire to pout.

"Then we must try something else, perhaps posters?" she said with a slight smile.

"Posters?" Robin asked as he arched his eyebrow.

"Yes posters, I have seen posters on trees and wooden poles holding thick wires, and they say they have lost something and offer the reward if they are found and brought back."

"Oh, you mean lost dog or cat posters." Robin said.

"Yes, those are the posters I have seen."

"Well that is a good idea Star, but I don't think it will work."

"Awh, but why not, should we not at least try?" she begged.

Just the Raven emerged into the room and walked towards them.

"Robin's right Starfire, lost posters won't work, I already told you guys that I know how to find Beast Boy, please you must let me." Raven said.

"No Raven, that's what Slade wants, he wants us to let our guard down and have you go find Beast Boy, we're smarter than that, and I'm not gonna let him get you while you're alone."

"Robin please listen to me."

"No, Raven you can't go, I'm not gonna give him the chance to get you again."

"Well I'm not just going to sit around here like the rest of you and do nothing." Raven yelled as she walked away.

"Robin, what if Raven still goes to find friend Beast Boy, and Slade hurts her again?" Star asked as she shivered to the thought of seeing Raven laying on the floor covered in blood again.

"Not gonna happen Star, Cyborg put a tracking bracelet on Raven that she can't remove, if Slade dares to comes here again Raven can trip the alarm on the tracker an we'll immediately be able to help her, it 

also bounds her to the tower for the time being, I can't put her in danger again, I just can't." Robin sighed as he thought of how angry Raven must be at him for making her wear that bracelet.

"Damn it!" Cyborg yelled causing Starfire and Robin to turn their attention towards him.

"What happened?" Robin asked.

"I almost had it, I was so close."

"What did you have?" Starfire asked.

"I'm trying to reconfigure the computer to not locate Beast Boy's communicator, but to locate him by his DNA, and I was so close."

"Is that even possible to do?" Robin asked astonished to that thought.

"We'll find out soon enough."

Meanwhile

Raven meditated in the middle of her bedroom. She may have been forbidden to leave the tower, but a thought had occurred to her. If she could reach Slade through her mind maybe she would be able to save Beast Boy. And even if it didn't work it was still worth a try.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos." she chimed to herself over and over again.

'Come on Slade I know you can hear me, I know you have access to my head, why aren't you answering me.'

Her concentration was broken by her communicator going off.

"Dear Raven I was beginning to get worried about you, we haven't talked in what seems like forever How have you been?" Slade said as she opened the communicator.

"Cut the act Slade, where's Beast Boy?" she asked angrily.

"You mean your little green friend; I have to say I haven't heard from him."

"You're lying! Tell me what you did to him; I know he went after you."

"That he did, poor little kid, he didn't even stand a chance." Slade laughed as a tear formed in raven's eye.

"What… what did you do to him?" she managed to spit out.

"Would you like to see for yourself?" Slade said as a vision of Beast Boy was clearly seen when he turned.

Beast Boy seemed to be lying in a puddle of blood, his clothes were torn and dirty, and his eyes were puffy and swollen. He looked helpless, just like the life had been sucked out of him. Raven couldn't help, but blame herself, maybe if she hadn't kept her secret from the Titans this wouldn't have happened. Finally he coughed which gave Raven little hope that he could be saved.

"Oh my God what did you do to him? You're a monster, let him go."

"My oh my you sure do want a lot now don't you… but hey I'll tell you what, I'm in a good mood so how about a trade?" Slade asked as a sick and twisted grin crossed his face.

"What kind of trade?" she asked dreading the outcome of his answer.

"I offer up Beast Boy to the Titans and in return I get you… sounds fair to me, what do you say?"

"…" Raven was speechless. This was her worst fear come true.

"I need an answer before I change my mind." Slade said ticking his finger like seconds of a clock.

"…Okay"

"Good, Beast Boy will be lying in a place that only you know of; there you'll be able to get him."

"I can't leave the tower." Raven said as she showed the bracelet on her wrist to Slade.

"Then tell the Titans where he is and when they go to get him, I'll come for you."

Raven gulped as she nodded her head and the signal was disconnected.

Raven opened the door to her room and walked out into the hallway, she made her way down to Beast Boy's room and left a note on the window, then she left. She went back to Ops to find that the Titans were still in the exact places where they had been since an hour ago.

"I found him." she whimpered as she shielded her eyes from the others so they couldn't see her tears.

The Titans jumped at the news and were ecstatic, all except Robin of course.

"How?" he asked extremely curious.

"With my powers, do you remember where we fought Slade last time and I rushed into the forest so he wouldn't get away, that's where you'll find Beast Boy."

"What are we waiting for then, let's go bring'em home!" Cyborg said as he dashed out the door with Starfire behind him.

Robin was about to leave, but looked back to Raven and eyed her, he knew she was hiding something, he could just tell.

"We'll be back as soon as we get him, stay here and keep in touch if anything goes wrong." he said and left.

Raven watched as they disappeared out the door and away from the tower.

"Goodbye." she whispered faintly.

Raven phased up through the ceiling and onto the roof. She sat on the ledge and hung her feet over the side of the tower. She stared out over the horizon. She felt her heart crumble into pieces as she felt his presence approach her. She froze and her head went blank. She could hear his heart beep thumping; she could hear his mouth breathing. She stood up and turned to face him, but did not look him in the eye. She looked at the bracelet on her arm and then held it out toward Slade. He placed a small red device on it. Raven watched as it sparked and fell off her wrist. Immediately the other Titan's communicators went off, but by the time they got back to the tower, Raven was gone.

Beast Boy was placed in the Medical Bay and tied up to a heart monitor and an IV, he was in a great deal of pain. Cyborg watched over his monitors as Starfire tried to calm down an overly upset Robin.

"I knew it; I knew something like this was going to happen. Someone should have stayed here with Raven. I should have stayed. I knew she was hiding something, she knew Slade would come for her." Robin yelled at himself.

"Robin please the fault is not yours, you could not have controlled what Raven would do."

"No Star, but I could've done something more to help her. We all could have."

Meanwhile

Raven sat on the edge of a bed, in what she figured to be Slade's house. She found slight humor in it because she never thought of Slade to be like an actual person who owned a house. She looked at the pictures on the wall. They were elegant works of art. She never knew Slade had this kind of side to him, but then again he did appreciate the small thing that she did. She got up and walked toward what appeared to be a red velvet book. She picked it up an examined it very carefully. If she was correct, it appeared to be … a diary?

She opened it and flipped through the pages, inside were some of the most amazing poems and literature she had ever seen. On the last page she read something that opened her eyes.

For a creature so dark and mysterious

I have what seems to be an attraction

But for reason she does not feel the same

My image to her is one I wish to take back

But never shall she give me that chance

I never wanted to take her by force

I thought maybe she was playing hard to get

But alas, I am the one who is wrong

As she finished reading she noticed that the date was the same day he had raped her.

'Could he really have a sensitive side I never knew of before?'

"Maybe you'll find out." Slade echoed in.

Raven dropped the book and froze in place.

"Ah, I see you found my book."

"Your writing is amazing." Raven choked out.

"There's more on your mind then just that."

"I want to see Beast Boy."

Slade let a slight sigh escape his lips.

Meanwhile

Beast Boy wheezed uneasily in the hospital bed. Cyborg and the others had retired for the night leaving Beast Boy alone under high security. After what happened to Raven, Robin wasn't going to let another teammate get hurt.

As Beast Boy slept a shadow lurched over him. It walked towards him and sat beside him on the bed. A soft and gentle hand ran over his cheek awakening him from his rest.

"Rae… Raven?" he said in a weak voice.

"Shhh, don't speak." she said as she pressed a finger to his lips.

Beast Boy smiled, it felt so good seeing her face. He then let out an agonized moan; he started to feel faint again.

"Beast Boy, I'm sorry I put you in this mess, I hope you can forgive me, and I know that you went after Slade for me, but I have to be with him for now. I feel it will be better for the team if I'm not around, I'm weak."

Beast Boy was about to say something when Raven leaned in and pressed her lips to his. She then whispered into his ear.

"I don't think anymore, I know that I love you."

And before Beast Boy could open his eyes from the kiss, she was already gone.

Sorry this chapter took so long to get up, I'm going to be pretty busy with school now, but I promise I will keep updating this story as often as I can

So what does everyone think? Reviews please:)

So Raven is living with Slade... and does Slade really have a sensitive side or could he just be playing Raven? And what about Beast Boy, she loves him... things are going to start getting intense.
