As I said to Azarath if you have any suggestions please let me know, I'll take them into consideration. Right now I'm deciding what should happen to Cyborg. *Evil laughter*
sir lynn of the fred (don't ask): I'll take that into consideration, but I was going to make that part of the sequel if I write one. And there was a little more to it then what I've said so far, but you'll just have to wait to find out what.

Chapter 25
(Titan's Tower: outside)
Robin, Raven, Terra, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Psyon were standing outside the door to Titan's Tower. Robin inspected the remnants of the door, which had been totally destroyed. Other then the door nothing seemed to be out of place, and that worried Robin even more.
“Friend Robin, do you believe this was the doing of Jinx?” Starfire asked curiously, while looking at the rubble that used to be the main door.
Robin stood and looked around at the group and said, “I don't think so.” He pulled out his communicator and activated it. “Cyborg, come in, Cyborg do you read me?” After a moment without a response he tried again. “Cyborg, are you there? Cyborg?” Again there was no response. “Damn it,” he hissed and stopped to think for a minute. “First, Psyon are you going to help us or do you want to be returned to the city?”
Psyon surveyed the area for a second and then looked at Robin. “I'll help you out,” he said walking over to Starfire. “It would be my pleasure to help out, I wouldn't want such a vision to be in danger,” Psyon said with a smile. He knelt, grabbed her right hand and kissed the back of it, while trying to discretely grab her ass. Star giggled when he kissed her, but as soon as she felt the hand on her butt she knocked him to the ground with a swift kick to the chest.
Robin shook his head in disapproval, but Psyon didn't seem to notice. “Raven and I will enter the tower and make sure the it's secure. Terra, you and Psyon make sure the tower grounds are safe. Stay together. After 15 minutes, Beast Boy, you and Star come in the tower and sweep the first floor, it should be clear after Raven and I take care of it, but be careful,” Robin said firmly.
While Robin was giving directions everyone paired off as they were told and stood waiting for any last minute instructions. Terra was getting her floating rock platform ready, and Psyon jumped on just before she left the ground. Star and Beast Boy stood tensely at the door, and Robin and Raven were behind them, making sure everyone was ready.
“Titans, go!” Robin shouted. The group split up and started doing their various jobs. As soon as everyone was off Robin and Raven walked slowly into the Tower.
Everything was still, eerily still. Nothing was out of place except what had been knocked around by whatever destroyed the door. Robin and Raven carefully walked into every room on the first floor, and found nothing out of place. The rooms hadn't been disturbed at all.
“Whoever did this must have known exactly what they wanted, and where it was,” Robin stated. Raven didn't reply, but nodded and opened the door to the stairs. They walked on to the second floor, and started going right for the Med Bay.
As soon as they reached the Med Bay they saw the scorch marks on the walls and the signs of destruction. The door was blown to shards, all of which had flown into the Med Bay, but most of the wall was undamaged. They could see into the room and they noticed that all the medical equipment was still out from when Cy was checking on Jinx.
“Well we know one thing, this wasn't Jinx,” Raven said as she walked to the fragments of the door. She knelt and looked at it, inspecting it carefully. “This wasn't done with magic,” She said to Robin.
Robin and Raven walked in the room, and a beeping came from Robin's belt. “15 minutes, BB and Star should be coming in now,” He said, as Raven was about to ask what the beeping was. “It'll probably be safe if we split up now. You can go to the third floor, and I'll keep looking investigating here.” Raven nodded and walked out of the room as Robin started looking closer at the destruction in the Med Bay. She was anxious to get to her room on the third floor and see if anything was disturbed.
When Raven reached her room, the door seemed undisturbed but something didn't feel right. It was almost as if something was missing. She opened the door slowly and looked in, nothing seemed anywhere it wasn't supposed to be, and the tarps from Robin painting were still there, as was her portrait. She walked over to her bookcases and carefully went through every book; they were all there as were all the magical artifacts she kept in her room. After another few minutes everything in her room had been accounted for except the items under her bed. She sat on the floor and started to reach for one of the chests she kept under her bed. She pulled the first one out and opened it. All of her diaries and the stories she had written were there, and in the right order. She reached for the other chest; almost wishing it was gone, almost. As Raven reached back to where the chest should be there was nothing there.
“Oh damn,” Raven sighed. The chest wasn't there. She used her powers and levitated the bed quickly, only to see that it really wasn't there. She quickly tore through her room and tried to find any sign that her room was entered or if the chest had been moved, there were none.
“Titans, to the tower. Meet me in Ops,” came Robin's command. Raven quickly put everything back and rushed to the operations room.
Seconds after Raven entered the room the rest of the Titans entered. “What's up Robin?” Beast Boy asked as soon as he ran into the room. Everyone spread out about the room, eyes focused on Robin.
“There's no sign of Cyborg or Jinx anywhere in the tower,” Robin stated bluntly. “And his locator signal is being blocked. We'll have to do a visual search of the city.”
“Dude, that'll take forever,” Beast Boy protested. Before he got far enough to make another suggestion he was cut off from a glare from the other Titans, while Psyon leaned against the wall listening to everything casually.
“BB, you and Terra search the north side of the city. Star you search the south,” Robin ordered. He then looked to Psyon, who was still leaning against the wall and looking kind of bored. “Do you still want to help?” Robin asked.
“If you're going to find out who's robots attacked me, I'm in.” He answered firmly, with a wink to Starfire, who giggled softly, and a warm smile to Raven and Terra, who just rolled their eyes.
“Fine, then you go with Starfire and search the south side. Raven and I will be staying here. I'll be changing the computer codes, and trying to find eliminate any interference that might be blocking Cy's signal. Raven, I want you to wait incase a ransom is sent or something. Everyone got it?” Robin asked as he looked out to everyone. They all gave affirmative gestures and paired off. “Titans, Go!” Robin said, and everyone went to do what they were commanded, leaving him and Raven alone in the room.
(Slade's Hideout)
Cyborg regained consciousness with a quiet groan. “What the hell just happened,” he asked quietly. When his eyes opened he saw that he was in a stone room. There was an altar across the room from him, and Jinx was shackled to it. Jinx still seemed to be unconscious. “Jinx,” Cy shouted as he tried to move his arms down from above his head, but he found he couldn't move them. He looked up and saw that his arms were chained to the wall, and laughed. He pulled again, with all his might, but the chains held. “What the hell?” he said as he pulled at the chains again, and for the second time the chains holding him did not budge.
“Cyborg, how nice of you to drop in,” came a familiar voice echoing through the door.
“Slade,” Cy growled and pulled again at the chains even though he knew the chains were too strong for him to break.
“I'm touched you can recognize my voice,” Slade said mockingly. He stepped through the doorway, and the symbol of skath was glowing on his forehead even brighter than normal. “I am disappointed that you decided to help this runaway though,” he said while walking towards Jinx.
“Don't you dare hurt her,” Cyborg said protectively, while changing his arm into his sonic cannon. He tried to aim over to Slade, but was unable bend his arm far enough.
Slade laughed malevolently, “Right now I'd be more worried about what's going to happen to you.” He stopped right next to Jinx, and wiped a little blood from her cheek, then turned and looked right at Cyborg.
Just as Slade was about to launch a fire blast at Cyborg, a humanoid demon dressed in robes walked in. “Master, this is the correct book,” it said in a deep hissing voice and held up a white book and handed it to Slade.
“Excellent,” Slade said smoothly as he took the book. “I'm sure you know this book Cyborg, it's our insurance policy,” he said. Slade walked over to Cyborg and opened the book; it went right to the page of a dragon and a wizard fighting.
