Chapter 2

The Titans had returned to the tower beaten and bruised. They sat in the Common Room gathering their strength and were thinking of a plan. The four Titans were tired, irritable and tense. This ruined the bright and sunny morning that they had just a few hours ago. It felt like an eternity since that morning. They had thought that it was going to be a good day; instead one of their own had been kidnapped. "I still think we should have stayed behind to look for Raven! How can we just leave her behind like that?!?" Beast Boy shouted. 'Slade, I'll kill him!' Beast Boy thought angrily. What's worse, he had been angrier with Robin for abandoning Raven and not searching the docks for Slade or Raven.
"It couldn't be helped Beast Boy. Knowing Slade, he wouldn't leave behind any trails or anything and he probably booby-trapped the docks. Besides we-" Robin tried to explain but he was cut off by Beast Boy.
"But we just left her behind! She would've never left us behind!" Beast Boy shouted again.
"Beast Boy, we need to think of a plan. If we just rush in without thinking, it won't help Raven. And we need to gather our strength so we can fight Slade again and get Raven back", Robin said as calmly as he could. Beast Boy glared at his leader, his fists shook as he was resisting the urge to punch Robin.
"Chill BB. I'm sure Rae is okay." Cyborg said calmly.
"Yes Friend Beast Boy. We must put our heads together and gather our strength", Starfire agreed. She looked sadly at Beast Boy as if to pacify him. Seeing that he was outnumbered, Beast Boy calmed down slightly and let out a big sigh. He finally said "Fine. But let's hurry and think of a plan. Every second we waste, we could be looking for Raven. Or Slade-" He was cut off as another transmission had been sent.
"It's another transmission", Robin said.
"Maybe it's from Raven", Beast Boy said with a little hope in his voice. 'Raven! Please be okay!' He thought.
"It's from-huh? It doesn't say." Cyborg said. Robin and Cyborg pressed a few buttons and the transmission appeared on the screen. The four Titans glared at the screen and the transmission's sender.
"Slade", Robin growled.
"Hello again Titans. I certainly enjoyed our little reunion", Slade said as he smiled behind his orange and black mask. His fingers locked and he looked firmly at the screen.
"WHERE IS RAVEN?!? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HER?!?" Beast Boy shouted at the screen and sent Slade a murderous look. The rest of the Titans were taken aback by Beast Boy's anger. He shook his fists; his blood boiled and clenched his teeth.
"Calm yourselves. She's quite safe with me and I haven't done anything to her, yet." Slade replied slyly.
"GIVE HER BACK!!!" Beast Boy bellowed at the masked man.
"No. I don't think I will." Slade said in a deadpan tone.
"Give her back Slade. What do you want with her?" Robin interrogated.
"Now, Robin. You know the answer to that. It's the same thing I've always wanted. Besides, you've all seen what the girl is capable of. No-", Slade corrected himself. "You've only seen a fraction of what she's capable of. You can't handle her. Any of you", Slade shot a look at Beast Boy. "And she might prove to be a more promising apprentice than you or Terra. She's much stronger than you and even more powerful than Terra. Of course, her powers will make it a bit hard, but hey. I like a challenge." Slade continued. Beast Boy let out a growl. "The girl is much too powerful for you. She'll be much better off in my hands", Slade finished.
"LIKE HELL SHE'S BETTER OFF WITH YOU!! SHE'S STAYING WITH US!!" Beast Boy snarled at the screen, baring his fangs. He felt like any second he was going to attack the screen and rip out all the wires until it was completely destroyed. Robin put his hands on Beast Boy's shoulders; he could almost feel Beast Boy's anger. Robin motioned Cyborg and Starfire to come closer, in case Beast Boy would go berserk.
"Why are you after Raven now?' Robin questioned cynically. Slade chuckled.
"After seeing what she could do, destroying Trigon and all, I was thinking, what are the limits of her power. And how she could make the perfect apprentice. Thanks so much for delivering her to me by the way, you almost made it too easy." Slade taunted behind his mask. Beast Boy had heard enough and said in a dark voice "This conversation is over. The next time I see you Slade, I'm gonna gut you. And I'm taking Raven back." He pressed a button and shut off the transmission. Slade's picture disappeared from the screen and all the Titans looked at Beast Boy with worried looks.
"BB?" Beast Boy ignored Cyborg's question. He headed to the Common Room's exit to get to his room. When he stood in front of the doors and stopped.
"I'm fine." He told his friends before he stepped out and the doors whooshed behind him. 'Raven...' he thought.
"Friend Beast Boy is very worried about Friend Raven, yes?"
"Yea. Should we go after him?" Cyborg asked.
"No, I think he needs some time to himself", Robin said.

++++++++++

"Uhh..." Raven moaned. Her eyes fluttered open and she woke up groggily. "Where am I?' Raven asked herself. She awoke strapped down to a slanted metal table with handcuffs that had red glowing cords. (A/N: NOT. A. WORD.) 'I guess I can't use my powers' Raven assumed. Raven looked around the dark room and saw a large screen. There was a metal table with wheels next to where she was. Strangely, it looked like a medical room; the only difference was that the lights were off, except where she was, as if it was a spot light. Her eyes searched the room until she saw her communicator and her belt across the room. Not only was her communicator badly damaged, it was taken apart. 'Guess I can't call the others either.' She thought again. Raven heard footsteps coming and tried to pull away from the table. She winced at the pain she sustained during the battle.
"Oh! It looks like you're awake." A male voice said as he entered the dark room. It looked as though he was carrying something. Raven couldn't see the man's face or what he had. He placed the things he was holding on the small table next to the door.
"Who-?" Raven asked in a timid voice.
"Now, now Raven. Surely you remember your messenger?" Raven's eyes widened and her jaw stiffened. "The one that worked for your demonic father." The voice added and he turned on the lights.
"Slade", Raven hissed. Her eyes began to sting at the sudden change of light. But now wasn't the time to show weakness, especially in the presence of such a formidable foe and when she was powerless.
"Hello Raven." Slade smiled behind his dark mask.
"Release me!" Raven commanded.
"I'm afraid I can't do that. After all, I already promised your friends I'd be keeping you from now on", Slade chuckled. He folded his arms behind his back and watched Raven thrash against the metal table. Raven sent him a dangerous look.
"I refuse." She said defiantly. "I thought you might be stubborn." Slade said as he pulled out something behind his back. "I must get it from my father then." Raven countered. Suddenly, she felt an electric shock go through her body. She screamed in pain as the electric shock dissipated. She huffed in pain and breathed heavily.
"I came prepared. Now that I have your undivided attention, I'd like to offer you a preposition, Raven." Slade said, not leading anywhere important.
"Well then. What is it?" Raven shouted her patience wearing thin.
"I want you as my next apprentice. As you can probably guess, the apprentices I had-"
"Yea, they all betrayed you", Raven laughed. She felt another electric shock course through her body.
"Don't interrupt", Slade said, irritation seeping into his voice. "Didn't exactly work out."
"So, why do you want me? Shouldn't you be after the walking traffic light?"
"As much as Robin interested me before, he's gotten boring, repetitive, and quite predictable. And Terra, well you know, the girl was much too indecisive. The other Titans don't interest me, in the slightest. Cyborg, even though he's half human, he will always have limitations, it's built into his circuits. Starfire, she has too many limitations, she has her powers well under control. And Beast Boy, he's not serious enough, too much for my taste, even though he has the Beast, he will always be an animal, and animals have their limitations. Now you Raven, you're something that's been overlooked one too many times. All that power, it would be a shame and a waste to let it all go uncontrolled. You see Raven, I want to show you, train you, and teach you everything I know. I do owe you after all." He said seriously.
"Oh! So you're repaying me by making me your apprentice!!" Raven barked furiously.
"If by repaying, you mean force. I figured if you don't join me, I'll eliminate all your pesky little friends. And you'll be there, front and center", he told her darkly.
"Good. Now that you're quiet, I hope you'll allow me to finish. I want you as an apprentice because I've seen what you're capable of, what you can do, what happens when you lose control. Even better yet, you're capable of destroying the world by yourself. In fact, you're capable of anything."
"You see Raven, the world seems normal now but just you wait. It will slowly start to die and do you now why?"
"?" Raven had a confused and a worried look on her face. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"You. Your powers are beginning to accelerate out of control. The world can't handle your power. Of course neither can your friends", Slade said.
"What're you talking about?!" Raven said angrily. 'If I don't let me go, I'll show you what I'm capable of!' Raven thought.
"Don't you get Raven? As soon as you lose control, they won't hesitate to destroy you. Face it. You're so called 'friends' would get rid of you without a second thought. They don't want you, anymore than anyone else does." Slade taunted under his mask.
"LIAR!" Raven shouted. His voice was like a knife going through her head. Her body began to relax as the energy to argue Slade was slowly being drained. She leaned her head forward, defeated. Raven thought of all the moments she had with the Titans, how instead of hanging out with them, she would meditate. Raven remembered when they tried to celebrate her birthday, Raven reacted furiously. Then she remembered how Robin saved her from oblivion and how everyone fought to get her back. She remembered how everyone was having fun, she would stay on the sidelines, and how Beast Boy tried to make her laugh while she would react with sarcasm or yell at him.
'Beast Boy...' she thought. Slade looked at her, he knew he had won, Slade managed to convince her and gotten through to her.
"I'll join you. I'll be your apprentice. Just don't hurt any of them." Her head still down but her voice, serious and firm.
"Good. I'm glad you finally understand." He said pleased. "But just in case, the device on your neck will shock you if you even show a hint of defiance." He pressed the button on the remote and Raven dropped to the floor, her body weak and drained. Her cloak draped over her. She rose to her and dusted herself off. Raven didn't need to use her empathy link to tell that Slade was smiling behind his mask."Come with me. I will show you to your quarters." He said and turned out the door.
Raven quickly followed him along the dimly lighted hallway. Raven looked around the hallway. Strangely, it looked like a hallway out of a Victorian mansion. Crimson curtains shaded the sunlight that failed to filter through the windows, knights armor with swords in their hands stood along the walls, the lights were attached to the walls and shaped like plants. 'Whoa, and I thought Slade was just some criminal! Who knew he was classy?' Raven thought. They continued for about 2 minutes until they reached Raven's room.
"This is where you'll be staying." He said bored. He opened the door and Raven stepped in the room. Surprisingly, it wasn't as luxurious as the rest of the mansion. It was a dull gray room with a bed, a small oak table, a desk lamp, a dresser and a closet.
"Stay here. I have a call to make", Slade told her. He handed Raven some folded new clothes were there. "That is your new uniform." He turned around and began walk out the door. "Oh. And don't even try thinking of contacting your friends with telepathy. It won't work, trust me." He walked out the room, shut the door, leaving Raven behind. She placed the clothes on the bed.
Raven looked around the room, she sighed deeply and laid down on the bed.
"What have I gotten my-self into?" Raven closed her eyes, and began to drift to sleep.

End chapter.
