Ravens bag was packed and (with the help of Starfire) she had a outfit ready so she could blend in more. The last thing they wanted was for Raven to get caught by some villain.
"Friend Raven, you are almost done. Please do not partake in the squirming any longer." Starfire said, trying to use makeup to cover the diamond on Ravens forehead.
"Just let me go then. You're not going to cover it Starfire." Raven said back. Starfire only fought for another moment, then let go.
"Done." Starfire said. Raven looked in the mirror.
"You actually covered it........" She said slowly. Starfire nodded then circled Raven one more time.
Raven was wearing a black sweatshirt, and jeans with Black Ugg boots (that she thought were very warm and might just keep).
"Your are ready then, correct?" Starfire said. Raven gave a nod and grabbed her duffle bag.
Raven pulled the keys off the hook. Glad Robin talked me into getting a drivers license she thought to herself.
"Okay, I have the T-Car. If you need me I have my communicator. Good luck." Raven said turning to leave. Starfire grabbed her in a huge hug.
"Friend I will miss you greatly. I would like to wish you with luck as well." Starfire said.
"Okay- Starfire. Enough hugging." Raven said.
"My apologies. farewell friend Raven."
"Bye." Raven hopped in the car.
5:54
pm
T-Car
Raven drove down the roads leading out of Jump City.
The radio was on just to break the silence. Z100- the only station
ever on in the T-Car. Being as it was Cyborg and Robins favorite.
"Okay- I'm going to meet Batman.... Robins mentor... the
Dark Knight himself. What do I say!" Raven mumble angrily to
herself.
How
did I get pushed into doing this? What do I tell him - Robins either
dead or dying? I'm going to ruin this whole plan.
Back
at Titans Tower
Aristas POV
"Okay, so let's think
logically- Terra and Starfire are the only two people who can protect
the city! We need help from someone!" Arista said.
"From who, Arista? Your sister just went to get help from Batman." Terra said.
"Um.... I don't know." Arista responded.
"Thats what I -" Terra started but an alarm cut her off. "Slade."
Terra and Starfire ran/flew out of the tower. Within seconds they were flying towards the city. Arista could do nothing more but wait for them to return. Marina came in after a few seconds.
"Who was attacking?" Marina said.
"Slade."
"He's a dead man once Star gets him. You know how mad she is that he has Robin."
"Ya true."The two girls talked for a little bit. An little over an hour later, Starfire could be seen flying back to the tower. It wasn't until she entered the living room that the girls could see how hurt she was.
"Starfire! What happened?" Arista
said, running over to the hurt alien girl.
"The fight was
most unpleasant." Starfire said.
"Where is Terra? Is she okay?" Marina said.
"Terra. Terra is with Slade... she - she has betrayed us again." Starfire said in a very un-starfireish tone.
"I am going to get Crystal. Arista, call your sister. Don't tell her to come back just let her know." Marina said, takeing control of the situation.

Raven POV
Gotham City
It
was bigger then Jump City and more dangerous. Raven parked the T-Car
in front of a large house with the sign, Wayne Manor in front.
She
was just sitting the car now, trying to decide on what to say.
Beep Beep. Beep Beep.
Raven grabbed her communicator- "Hello. Arista, what's going on?"
"Raven- don't freak out. Um... Terra went with Slade. You were right about her. Starfires beat up pretty badly. We have no Titans here anymore. Robins caught, Cyborgs out cold, Terra left, Your there, BB left, and Stars hurt. What do you want me to do?"
"I'm coming." Raven answered.
"NO! That's the worst choice you can make. We need help Raven! That's your mission- getting much needed help."
"I have an idea, don't leave the tower okay? I'll call you back." Raven hung up.
"Raven calling Titans East, Raven calling Titans East."
"Hey Rae. Long time no see." Aqualad answered.
"I have to talk to Bumble Bee. Now."
"Raven- Is everything okay?"
"No. Get Bee."
A few moments later Bumble Bee appeared on the screen. "Raven, what's going on?"
"Can you send some people over to the tower? Robin got caught by Slade, Beast Boy quit the team, Cyborgs and Starfire are hurt and I am out of town." Raven paused for a second, "And Terra betrayed us again. Someone has to change the tower access codes."
"I'm on it. Bee out." The color faded from the screen. Raven looked back to the large house in front of her. There were two lights on. Well Here I go.
Raven slide out of the car. The walk up to the door was only 20seconds, but it felt like forever. Raven hit the door bell once, and heard a series of bells inside.
The door opened to see a thin, bald ageing man in front of her. "Hello Miss. How can I help you?"
"I am looking for a Mister Bruce Wayne. Is he here?" Raven answered.
"Master Wayne is very busy Miss. Perhaps another time..."
Of course! Bruce Wayne of Wayne Industries! He's a rich well known man, and this butler probably thinks I'm some fan girl or something.
Slightly annoyed, Raven answered again, "Well Is Batman there then?" The man looked left then right and whispered-
"Come inside. Quickly now." He closed the door behind her. He signaled Raven to follow.
Reaching a large wooden door, the man stopped to knock. "Master Wayne, you have a visitor."
The door opened to reveal a tall man with a serious expression. "Hello."
"Hi.
My name is Raven, I work with the Teen Titans." Raven said
outstretching
her hand to shake. Bruce stared at her hand for a second, then
ignored it.
"I've heard of you."
"Mr. Wayne, our team leader Robin, hes-" Raven was cut off.
"Robin? Raven- was it? If you're leader Robin is looking for money I can't help," Bruce said sternly.
"She knows Master Wayne, "The butler said quietly.
"You know? How?" Bruce asked, and then added in, "Alfred, could you get us some drinks."
The butler nodded and walked from the room.
"Robin had your name written down somewhere. But that's irrelevant. Robins in trouble. I- I don't know where he is but he got caught. I don't know whether he's alive or not." Raven said.
"You don't place tracking devices on your teammates? You never thought that someone might get caught?" Bruce said in an angry tone.
"Of course we did. We found his smashed in front of our doorway," Raven answered matching his tone.
"So you have no idea where Dick is?" Raven paused for a second.
"Dick? Who's-oh. Right," Raven mumbled, "Um.. well we know who caught him."
Bruce noticed her muttering. "He never told you his name?"
"I never asked. But will you help me find him or not?" Raven asked.
"I will help you. Do your teammates have any other information on where he is? Or might be?"
"The team split up. There just me and another team helping me. And we both know nothing." Alfred returned with some drinks.
"Miss Raven, would you be spending the night here, or at a hotel in town? Might I recommend here if you have not already made reservations? This city isn't one of the safest to stay."
"She'll be staying here Alfred. I need to learn more about this enemy. " Bruce answered. He spent most of the night interrogating Raven on Slade.
Finally leaving with the statement, "We'll leave tomorrow." and then he returned to his room.
Alfred led Raven to a room at the end of a long hallway, "I believe you will find your stay comfortable. If you need anything, help yourself," He turned to leave, "Oh, and good luck tomorrow."
