Chapter Two: Missing
"I am seriously so sick of these lame villains." Beast Boy complained, flopping his small green body onto the couch.
Beside him, Cyborg silently agreed and yawned. They were all tired as hell. With little sleep, they were getting irritable and impatient. Robin had to strive to maintain his leader skills and enforce the rest to not attempt to kill every villain they see. Yet every time the alarm went off, they all groaned and wished to just rip whoever was causing the problem's head off.
"Let's all go out for pizza and then get a nap in. Then we can all just hang out and have a movie night." Robin suggested, trying to find any way to take the edge off.
Starfire nodded, "That sounds amazing!" She was quite possibly the only titan who could still be chipper at this point. Fortunately, with the combined enthusiasm, it was cheering the titans up.
Robin smiled, "Great. We're all ready...so i'll just go get Raven and we can be on our way."
Beast Boy nodded, "Can we go to Flying Slicers? They have alien themed pizza, and green tofu!" He grinned and licked his lips.
"What? No!" Cyborg grunted, not in the mood for his least favorite food, the wretched tofu.
"They also have The Alien Attack, a themed pizza made for meat lovers." Beast Boy said, gagging at the thought of all that meat.
Cyborg exclaimed a loud approval and for once, they agreed. Maybe they were just too tired to actually argue.
"I hope they have lots and lots of mustard!" Giggled Starfire, making Robin chuckle and he walked away.
He walked down the hall to Raven's room, happy at the thought of spending time with his dark best friend. He loved hanging out with Raven, even if she was moody or sarcastic. She was a breath of intelligent, fresh air to him. Lately, with the stress of her powers being gone and all the attacks, he had seen her less and less.
"Raven? C'mon, we're going out for pizza!" He exclaimed, knocking loudly on her door. He hoped she would join them.
No answer.
"Rae?" He called, even louder this time. He felt a pang of worry when she didn't answer again.
He swallowed it down, he was being silly. She was either in the bathroom or on the roof. He decided to go check if she was meditating on top of the tower.
"Raven?" He called and he reached to top.
He looked around, seeing nothing. The wind reached its airy hand through his hair, making him tremble. He felt even more worried now. He walked around the roof, his curiosity reaching its peak. He wondered if perhaps she had gone to the book store, or maybe out for a cup of tea. He frowned, knowing she she usually left a note or a message on his communicator.
He looked down, gasping. Her communicator was right at his feet, smashed to bits. He saw a small smear of blood next to it, and his stomach rolled.
"Titans!" He screamed wildly, running into the common room.
"What, dude?" Asked Beast Boy, "Rae didn't wanna come?"
He gasped for air, still not quite believing it, "She's gone. Her communicator was smashed and there was blood. Something happened to her."
The rest stood up, shocked. Cyborg was bursting with fury, Starfire with sadness, and Beast Boy with confusion.
"What do we do?" Asked Starfire softly, "How do we find friend Raven?"
Robin growled, "We search. We find out who took her. Cyborg, call in a few of our fellow allies. We're going to need a few people to protect the city while we devote ourselves to finding Raven."
Cyborg nodded and rushed to call them.
Beast Boy and Starfire felt helpless as Robin ran to his room to attempt to track down every villain he knew of.
He would stop at nothing to find Raven.
Meanwhile, Raven was going through a personal hell of her own.
She had woken up, feeling an immense struggle as she opened her eyes. Her eyelids felt heavy, as if they weighed a thousand pounds. Her head pounded, and her breathing felt sharp and pained. Her stomach rolled, nausea sweeping in like waves. She had never felt so sick and miserable.
She looked around. She was in some sort of prison. There were bars around her, as if she was in a cage. The floor was cement, dirty with dust and what looked like bloodstains. There were chains around her ankles and wrists. She couldn't move, not that she wanted to with how sick she felt.
"That serum will ware off in a couple hours, till then you'll feel like shit." She looked up to see Red X standing before her, smirking.
She gasped as she saw he was wearing all pieces of his uniform, minus the mask. She could see his face. He had mid length jet black hair, pale skin and bright blue eyes. He was handsome, but there was an evil glow to his face.
"You're revealing your identity to me." Raven gasped through staggered breaths.
Red X laughed, "Like it matters." He rolled his eyes, "I'm guessing you think you'll get back to the titans and tell them what I look like. Newsflash, gorgeous, you won't be seeing them again. And if you do, you won't be able to speak anyways."
Raven glared daggers, "Where the hell am I?"
Red X shook his head, "Aww, darling, that's no way to speak. You're a guest, shouldn't you be a little more courteous?" He mock frowned.
"I'm not in the mood for bullshit. Tell me why you have me, what you want, and let me out of here so I can kick you ass and leave."
He walked over to her and slapped her sharply, "Maybe once you speak a little nicer, i'll give you a little bit of information."
She let out a growl of hatred, "You think the titans won't be able to find you, but they will."
"Ohhh, but honey, that's exactly what I intend on." He stroked his hand up her thigh, making her flinch a little.
He smirked again and left her cell, slamming the door behind him.
Raven felt another wave of nausea take over her and she closed her eyes hard, breathing heavily before she passed out again.
"How is she?" Asked Slade, his voice monotone.
"Upset, as expected. Not that it matters." Red X replied, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
"Yes, of course." Slade replied, barely paying attention, "Trigon is still able to restrict her powers, and right now she has no idea how to get them back. We have to complete the plan before she figures out how. Otherwise things could go badly for us."
Red X nodded, "So what is the next step?"
"We lure the titans. I'll continue training the apprentices. They are learning quickly. I know all the titans weaknesses, there will be no way we'll lose this battle. In the meantime, we break down Raven."
"I'll leave the titans a few clues."
Slade looked up, "Yes, but be sparse. We don't want them coming too fast."
Red X yawned in response, "Okay. Where is my payment for kidnapping her?"
He grinned as Slade handed him 50,000. He flipped through the bills, satisfied.
"You'll get the other 200,000 when we complete the plan. And when we finish this, you'll have no titans to limit your abilities. You can even get the rest of the suit Robin's been hiding from you."
"That's what I was planning on."
There's the update!
Want a preview? Okay!
"There's a message." Robin said, narrowing his eyes.
"Well, dude, play it!" Beast Boy nervously huddled next to Starfire, whose eyes were as big as saucers.
Robin gulped and pressed play.
The titans watched as they saw Raven, who looked severely bruised, fragile and dirty. A leg kicked her ribs, making her cry out in pain. A hand grabbed her wrist and twisted. She cried openly, her tears falling down in pained streaks.
"Better try harder titans. Your little bird no longer flies." A disguised voice spoke, laughing after.
Robin felt his heart drop as he clutched his chest, not able to contain his own tears.
