So I know there are several stories on here where Red X kidnaps Raven, but this is my own twist on it and I haven't seen this particular motive yet (from the one's I've read so far). I just think they both have sarcastic and strong/stubborn personalities and it would be funny if they had lots of back and forth quips. I know the title sounds a little cliche, but I couldn't think of a better one that describes this story.

Just so you know, this story probably isn't going to have much fighting/action. There may be some in the future chapters, but haven't gotten that far yet. So far I just know there is going to be comedy, some fluff, and occasional hurt/comfort here and there. But don't quote me on that because the future of this story can always change.

This story also contains a little bit about my personal theories on some of the unanswered questions left over from the show (i.e. how Terra came back to life and Red X's identity). The Terra part isn't particularly important to the plot, just mostly explaining how she's back on the team in this story and pick up where the series/movie left off (she may be referenced later in the story).

I have so many unfinished stories and was going to wait to post this after I finished my first story (The Odd Couple); but since I already have a bunch of unfinished stories out now, why not another? I've been working on this plot for a while (since before the summer), but was just trying to figure out where I wanted to go with it.

Right now the story is rated T, but might change later for future chapters.

Disclaimer: To whom it may concern, I do not own Teen Titans.

Please read, review, and enjoy.

Chapter 1: Abducted

2 years ago (background):

The Titans had just returned to the tower from their mission/ vacation in Tokyo when they came home to a pleasant surprise waiting for them in the ops room.

"Finally, I was starting to think that you guys moved."

It was Terra. When Terra was revived she found out she didn't have her Earth manipulation powers anymore. Terra had assumed that it took all her powers to stop Slade, which was what probably lead to the lingering effects of her final attempt to fade; consequently bringing her back to life. She saw this as an opportunity to finally have a normal life. With nowhere else to go, Terra applied for a scholarship at a local private school, Murakami High. The scholarship also included room and board with a host family, as long as she maintained at least a 3.5 grade point average. She had tried to return to a normal life after coming back to life from her statue imprisonment; however, after a few weeks of being resurrected her powers had returned.

Terra tried to keep them in control; but, due to the stress of high school and trying to keep her grades up, her powers had gotten the best of her. The stress of keeping her powers a secret from her teachers and classmates got to her as well. As she noticed her grades started to slip, small earthquakes started happening frequently on school grounds. The administrators were starting to get suspicious seeing as the school was nowhere near a fault line, and there was no report of other nearby residences noticing anything. Terra decided that it was best for her to surrender her scholarship and leave school, before she destroyed the school or seriously hurt somebody.

While she tried to forget all it, of course Terra remembered living with the Titans. It was the best time of her life; the only place that ever truly felt like home. But, until Beast Boy visited her shortly before her powers returned, she thought there was no way they would accept her back as a teammate. Not after she betrayed them. But Beast Boy's persistence showed her differently. He revealed that since she sacrificed herself to save the rest of the team, they had forgiven her and apparently even tried looking for ways to bring her back to life.

Of course, at the time Beast Boy spoke to her, she no longer had her powers- so what was the point in returning? She thought it would be easier on everyone to just pretend like nothing before her revival ever happened. After all, it was her only shot at a normal life. But when she regained her powers and left school, she knew that there was a chance she could go back to the Titans.

Unfortunately, at the time she chose to do so, the Titans had gone on a mission to Tokyo. Terra still remembered the security codes to get into the tower, which she used to help herself in. Since she used the codes instead of breaking in, Cyborgs security system didn't pick up on it. She still was afraid of if they really would accept her. Nevertheless, when they returned home they were happy to see her. She was welcomed back into the team, especially by Beast Boy.

Terra was relieved that her friends accepted her back with open arms and was glad that not much had changed; aside from the fact that Robin and Starfire were officially a couple- which she already suspected would happen eventually. Beast Boy and Terra resumed dating.

Present:

It was a little bit after 4:30am; most of the Titans were still asleep, until…

"Titans, Trouble!" Robin called over the intercom from the ops room as he sounded the alarm, waking up all the slumbering Titans.

Everyone jumped out of their bed and ran into the ops room. They all seemed to be talking over each other upon their entry in the room.

"Robin, what is the matter?" Starfire questioned.

"What's going on?" Terra asked alarmed.

"What time is it?" Beast Boy complained with a yawn in his voice, still half asleep.

"Where's Raven?" Cyborg inquired with concern when he noticed one teammate was missing.

"That's the trouble." Robin said addressing Cyborgs question. "I woke up early to prepare the obstacle course for this morning's training session when I heard a scream coming from Raven's room. I knocked but there was no answer. So I opened the door to check on her and she was gone!" The leader informed his team.

"Raven has gone missing?" Starfire asked in disbelief.

"Affirmative." Robin confirmed. "I've checked all the security cameras on the island and she's nowhere in sight. I believe she may have been abducted."

"What?" Beast Boy asked as he was finally fully awake.

"Are you sure? She may have just gone to the mainland to meditate." Terra considered.

"Yeah, it's still dark out and most of the town's asleep." Cyborg supported Terra's hypothesis. "You know how much she likes the dark and quiet."

"I reviewed the surveillance footage and there is no trace of her leaving." Robin established. "No sign of anything."

"Do you think she could have been abducted by ghost aliens?" Beast Boy asked. "Maybe they want to steal her DNA and make a new half demon, half human, half ghost, and half alien race?" He suggested another one of his crazy ideas, mostly because he had just woken up and was still adjusting to reality.

Starfire shot the changeling a disapproving look.

"You do realize that I am an alien, do you not?" She reminded the shape shifter.

Robin also shot a disapproving expression in Beast Boy's direction. A blush swept the green boy's cheeks; embarrassed by offending Starfire and he decided to change the subject with another theory.

"Uh, what I meant to say was: Do you think Raven could have had a bad dream that caused her to lose control of her powers; causing one of her inner demons to attack her and send her to another dimension?" Beast Boy withdrew his previous suggestion.

Thought his new suggestion would have sounded crazy to most people, the new theory was actually more reasonable sounding to this group. In fact, something similar had happened once before when Raven saw a scary movie.

"It's possible, but nothing in her room was out place." Robin informed the changeling. "Usually when she loses control of her powers it causes chaos and destruction. Besides, Raven's a fighter. If her inner demons didn't cause chaos and destruction during a struggle, she would have."

"But no one could have gotten into the tower without setting off an alarm and you said you didn't see anything on the camera." Cyborg clarified.

"Unless they hacked the system or knew the security code." Robin countered.

"That still doesn't explain how you didn't see anyone on the surveillance video." Terra rationalized. "Do you really think whoever took her has the power of invisibility?"

"And teleportation." Robin established.

"Robin, you do not suppose it was…" Starfire trailed off, seeing Robin nod with a glowered expression.

Raven was waking up, feeling a bit groggy. She started to remember a weird dream she had about being woken up from a pressured feeling over her nose and mouth and seeing a shadow person covering her mouth with a damp cloth while she was trying to shout her spell mantra to pin them against the wall before a sensation of lethargy fell upon her and she passed out.

Raven now woke up to a dark room alone, but the glimpse of light coming from the window reviled unfamiliar details in the room. Raven gasped in shock, when she realized this wasn't her room and that her weird dream was most likely not a dream. She quickly sat up to observe her new surrounding when she felt a dull burning sensation in her chest.

'Am I having a heart attack?' she thought to herself 'Why aren't my powers going out of control?' she continued her thought before the door in the room started to open.

"Good morning, Starshine." The familiar satirical voice said as he slightly increased the lighting with the dimmer switch by the door.
