Three weeks later…

"Hey Beast Boy, how are ya feeling today?" came the voice of Cyborg as he opened the shades above Beast Boy's window to let some light in.

"Ugh, dude it's too early." Beast Boy moaned as he tossed over and nearly fell off the small medical bed.

"Come on, you're fine now. Get up." Cyborg said as he made his way out.

"No I'm not." Beast Boy said as he slowly got up and looked at the window, "Where are you Raven?"

He turned away and tried to hold back a tear as he made his way out into the hallway. He felt a bit faint and couldn't help, but stumble once or twice until he made his way to the kitchen.

"Good morning friends, I am so happy that the team is all here now. Let us now eat the wonderful breakfast Cyborg has prepared for us." Starfire said in her joyous mood.

Everyone began to eat, but Beast Boy just stared at the chair that Raven normally sat in. He could picture it perfectly. She would be ever so still and stir her tea with her powers. Then sip it hesitantly and make rude comments to him as she read her book then retreat off to her room… he missed it.

"Come on BB, it's your first day outta Medical Bay and I even made you Tofu bacon and eggs to celebrate, the least you could do is eat." Cyborg whined.

"Huh,… oh sorry… guess I'm just not too hungry." He said as he poked his food with his finger.

Robin and Cyborg exchanged glances.

"Say Beast Boy, hows about we play some video games til' noon and then go out for some pizza, maybe even rent a movie later." Robin said in hopes of cheering up the sad changeling.

"No thanks… "

"Or perhaps friend Beast Boy would like to accompany me on a trip to the mall of shopping." Starfire said as she clapped her hands together.

"Look guys, I appreciate what you're trying to do… I really do, but I'm just not in the mood…" he said as he got up and tentatively made his way to his bedroom.

After he left Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire all looked at each other, they knew the one thing on his mind… Raven. As Beast Boy got to his room he paused a second, then continued walking until he reached Raven's bedroom.

"Raven always hated when I went in here." He said as he opened the door.

Her room looked as it always did, dark and mysterious… just like her. He staggered over to her bed and lied down on it. He buried his face in her pillow, it smelt just like her. He sat up and looked around.

"Raven… why did you leave us… why did you leave me…?" he asked out loud.

He waited as if she was there to answer him, he even asked again, but it was true, Raven was gone, and with Slade of all people. Beast Boy got up and left the room, being in there was too painful for him to handle. He made his way back to his own room and crashed in his bed.

"She said she loved me… if you love someone you don't just leave with guy who took something of yours… your innocence if anything… why would you just go with him Raven… I love you… you love me… give me a sign of how to find you… some clue so I know where you are." He said out loud.

All of a sudden he felt a draft in his room. He turned to see that his window was completely open and there a paper stuck to it blowing with the breeze. He jumped up and jetted over to it and snatched it off the window so fast that it ripped.

"DAMN IT!" he yelled as he put the two pieces back together, "Okay let's see what this says…"

Beast Boy,

I'm going with Slade; it's my fault that you got hurt in the first place. If I was stronger he wouldn't have taken me, but I'm not strong Beast Boy. I'm weak, and the other Titans think I am too, why else would they try to bind me to the tower. They know I can't take care of myself. I will come back when I am strong… I promise.

~Raven

"No, Raven... don't let it be so." He cried.

He sat up and crumpled the paper in his hands.

"I'm gunna get you back Raven. I won't let Slade control you anymore." Beast Boy said as he jumped up and fled out the door.

In Ops center Robin was sitting on the couch with Cyborg playing video games while Starfire hung over Robin's shoulder watching when Beast Boy came crashing in.

"GUYS GUYS GUYS!" he yelled which startled the rest of the team.

"Yo B whats up?" Cyborg asked as he paused the game.

"I need to find Raven, we need to find her. She has everything all wrong." He spit out.

"Whoa, calm down, what are you talking about?" Robin said.

"Raven feels like she let Slade take advantage of her, she thinks shes weak and pathetic, she thinks that all of us feel shes a waste of time to the team. We need to find her and show her that shes wrong and we want her back." Beats Boy said all in one breath.

"Why would friend Raven feel like this, we do not think any of this of her." Starfire said.

"She was raped Star, Slade took away something that she can't get back. She feels like she could've stopped him even though she really couldn't have." Robin chimed in.

"So how are we gonna get her back?" Beast Boy asked all eager to find her.

No one answered. They all pondered as they looked around the room. Out of the corner of Cyborg's eye, he saw a red light on the computer blinking and then he remembered how he was trying to track Beast Boy through his DNA.

"I might just have the answer." Cyborg said as he ran over to the computer.

"What happened?" Beast Boy shrieked as his face lit up, "Hey why is a picture of me on this?"

"I was reconfiguring the computer to locate you by your DNA rather than your communicator." Cyborg said as he pressed some buttons.

"And did it work?"

As Beast Boy asked his question, Cyborg flipped a switch and the DNA locator pinpointed Beast Boy to his exact location in Titans tower... just feet away from Robin and Starfire while he was directly in back of Cyborg.

"Yeah Man! It worked!" he yelled out, "Now all we need is something with Raven's DNA and we'll know exactly where she is."

"I know what to get." Beast Boy exclaimed as he fled out of his room and down the hall to Raven's room.

He looked on her bed, then grabbed her pillow, and ever so carefully picked up a shiny piece of short bluish-purple hair. He felt his heart beating in his throat as he ran back to Cyborg and handed it over. Cyborg put it into the scanner and Beast Boy watched over his shoulder as he pushed some buttons. He anxiously waited for something to happen, anything.

"What's wrong Cyborg, why isn't it working?!" Beast Boy yelled impatiently.

"Give me a minute... I... almost... got her!" he said as a siren rang out from the machine.

"Whoa... she's on the far outskirts of town." Robin said.

"Well what are we waiting for... lets go get her. Let's bring Raven home." Beast Boy yelled as all the Titans fled from the tower into the T-car.

Meanwhile

...home... home... home...

I wish I was home... but I haven't a home... not anymore at least.

"Dear Raven, this is your home now." Slade's voice rang in making Raven lose her concentration and fall to the floor.

She had been meditating for a few hours.

"Oh, Slade... you scared me." Raven cried.

"I am sorry Raven, I forgot that you sometimes forget that I can read your mind." he said.

Raven was about to say something when she started feeling weird... she could hear voices in her head... and they weren't from Slade.

"We're coming Raven, we've found you, we're coming to bring you home."

Beast Boy...

"Beast Boy" Slade asked an eyed her suspiciously.

"We know it wasn't your fault Raven, you are strong, you are. What he did to you isn't your fault. I love you Raven, I won't give up on you."

Raven's face lit up.

they want me back... they're actually coming for me... they don't think I'm weak...

"Whose coming for you... what is the meaning of this... Raven you will answer me!" Slade yelled out as he flipped the table over separating them.

Raven ran from him into the other room and locked the door behind her. She felt Slade charge at the door and ram it as hard as he could which split the wood. She pushed her back up against it in hopes of stopping him from getting in.

"Please, Slade stop!" she cried.

"No you're not going anywhere, I'm not gonna let them take you. You Are MINE!" he yelled and broke through the door.

Raven ran to the other side of the room and was trapped in the corner... she turned around to see her ultimate fear stare her dead in the eye.

"If you know what's best for you, you'll do exactly as I say... because if I have to, mark my words Raven this will be the death of you." he said as he held a knife mere inches from her bare neck.

"You wouldn't do that to me... if you cared about me... you wouldn't keep hurting me like this..." Raven whispered as her eyes became overwhelmed in tears.

"People always do crazy things when they're in love." Slade replied.

"..."
