'Day 18. Prisoner still hasn't said anything,' a guard thinks writing it down on a report as he watches a screen of what looks like a teenage boy sitting in the glass like cell.

The boy just turns his head upwards toward the camera as it zooms in on him a bit, his expression devoid of almost anything identifiable.

'And he's still creepy,' the guard thinks frowning now that the boy seems to be staring at him.

"You wrote that in the report," the other guard says.

The guard looks down to his report and sees he wrote down how creepy the kid is. "Oh," he mutters scribbling it out.

"Go for a walk and bring back coffee," the guard instructs before they feel an explosion.

The boy stands up and looks around with a slightly shocked look on his face, wondering what is happening now as red lights started to flash and thundering boots came from the halls. Soon he felt a new rumbling and the wall in front of him exploded and something ran through, breaking a part of his cell, leaving it wide open as it keeps charging.

'Wha…' the boy thinks looking towards where the charging thing went before looking to where it came from. 'I'm free…' he thinks in shock before starting to run out, dressed in a blue prison uniform.

As the whole building became a blur of yelling and even gunfire, the boy kept running down many hallways, trying to find a way out. However, he found himself lost as he came upon the same sign that he started with for the third time. 'They're going to find me…which way is it?' he thinks to himself in shock as he looks at the sign, hoping it would give him an answer in some way.

Another explosion and loud gunfire sounded out from where he came from, making him look toward it. He frowns a little and rushes down a hallway before noticing some red signs on the ceiling with lit up arrows so he decided to follow it. Turning down next hallway, before ducking back behind the corner as he had seen some guards running by. Seeing no more after a few seconds, he rushes out and heads down the hall from where they came from, seeing some glass doors with the dark night sky blanketing the area in darkness with only lights from certain lampposts lightning up certain places and then complete darkness afterward the first few hundred feet. He starts to rush towards it before sliding across the tile ground barefooted as a guard rushes out of a side door and makes him slide to a stop.

"Wha…hey! You're not supposed to be out!" the guard yells bringing up his gun and aiming at the boy.

The boy gulp before rushing forward and hears a bang and a stinging pain in his shoulder before grabbing the bare arm of the guard before they both felt like lightning struck their minds, keeping them in place until the guard starts to pull back and the boy let's go and kneels to the floor in shock. He gasps heavily as his mind reels from the shock before struggling to get up and rushes out the automatic doors. Leaving the guard knocked out on the ground.


The boy kept running for what felt like miles. For the first time in a long while, he got out and is now free from those people and their experiments. He didn't stop running until he saw a small town with small buildings and harder anyone out as some lights littered the area. Still keeping up the speed, he starts to run past the many buildings before sliding painfully to a stop in front of a window and sees some clothing of many types. Thinking for a few seconds and then knocking on the glass window, he grits his teeth and reels an arm back before punching the glass through, shattering it and making it fall to the ground in pieces.

The boy rushes inside as he looks through the clothing before stopping and picking up some pants and looks them over before hearing something and looks to see a door opening. "Hey! Who's in here?! I got a mop and I'm not afraid to use it!" someone calls out.

The boy watches as a man steps out and then sees him and instantly looks worried as he steps closer. "Whoa. Kid? You okay? You do realize you are bleeding from your…" the man stops as he sees the outfit on the boy and starts to hold up the mop at him. "Okay…let's just take it easy."

The boy gulped fearfully as the man backs up before steeling himself and rushes forward and grabs one of the man's wrists and makes them both cry out in shock before the boy lets go of him and let him fall down to the ground. The boy pants heavily and leans against the clothes rack as he catches his breath before looking at the pants and then to the clothing of the other.

After a bit, the boy steps out from the window and looks himself over, tugging at the tough jeans and black shirt. Making sure the brown overcoat is on tight enough and sleeves are down before grabbing a pair of red arm gloves from a stand nearby and pulls them on, making sure none of his skin is showing. He steps more onto the broken glass, now protected by his blue striped trainer shoes and looks around before running in the same direction he was heading, hoping to find a place to rest.


"I don't get it. Why would Cinderblock attack this place?" Beast Boy asks looking at the hole in the wall.

"Maybe some lab experiment that is vital to both the bad guys and all of mankind?" Cyborg suggested.

"And I bet Slade was behind it," Robin says.

"The question is, what did Cinderblock take from here?" Raven asks looking around.

"I can't tell. The computers are fried from the fire." Cyborg informs.

"Raven, you think you can track anything with your magic?" Robin asks.

"I can try," Raven says getting a meditative position.

"So what now dude?" Beast Boy asks as a dog.

"Try to find Cinderblock obviously. If he took something from here, it is best to get it back before it is used…in some evil way," Robin says thinking afterward.

"What about friend Raven?" Starfire asks.

"She can try to find anything that left a trace here. Besides…knowing this place…it could have been something they always will not understand…which is what I bet on," Robin says walking through the hole.

Raven floated there alone for nearly an hour before picking up something. 'Alright. Let us see where you lead me,' Raven thinks before her spirit left her body.

Her view left her body and went down the only road connecting to this place and travels down the road. Her spirit kept heading down the down for a while before ending up in a small town and slowly felt a magical trail towards a small store and sees the smashed window. Her spirit stayed for a while before feeling it leave and go on down the road and sees where it ended up as buildings come into view. "Jump City."

Raven was about to continue but decided to stop and return to her body when she felt it shaking.

"Have you found anything?" Robin asks as they had been looking for anything for an hour and still counting.

"Something like that. A small trail of destruction. Seems something was in fact here and it left a magical trail, but I can't pin down what type," Raven explains looking to him.

"Someone from here you think?" Robin asks.

"Has to be. Most of the magical buildup is here and as I followed, it left small amounts. We are going to need to follow before it washes away. Maybe it might be the thing Cinderblock took…or someone," Raven theorizes as the others meet up with them.

"Right. Titans, let's go," Robin says.


The boy groans as he holds his head, his mind swirling around with so many thoughts and memories, now even in full force since he is out and about instead of being locked in that room. Already his head is pounding in some pain from handling all of this and crying out for some rest, but the boy knows he can't stop now. He has to keep going or he might get caught and tossed back in that cell. Continuing on down the lit streets, he passes by some people who gave no mind to the boy in pain. For once, fortune is smiling down at him, if he ever had it in the first place.

The boy kept walking, hoping to find a way through the city. He sighs as he tries to figure out where he is going and looks around before looking to the side of him and spies a road through an alley, the road leading to somewhere in the city with no buildings. With no other way in sight, he walks through the alley now, hoping this can lead him even further away. Only to stop dead cold as someone steps in front of him before that person notices him and grins.

"Sweet. An easy grab. Alright, buddy, you know the drill," the man says brandishing a knife and gives a gimme motion.

The boy gulped fearfully as he doesn't need another headache at the moment, but knowing he can't get past without trouble, he might as well endure it another time. The boy slowly pulls the gloves off of one of his hands as he steels himself. Stepping back a bit, the man starts to step forward, figuring that the boy is trying to run. Only for the boy to dig his foot into the ground and rush forward, surprising the man and make him try to swing the knife down as the boy ducks under and reach out and touch the man's face. Both of them go into a state of shock as they freeze as a feeling of electric shocks went through their minds. The boy then pushes the man away and makes him fall down out cold.

The boy groans as he holds his head, memories, and thoughts moving and shifting itself in place, but causing a massive headache nonetheless. He starts to lean against the wall, hoping for the headache to calm down, but it just ended up a dull throb. Now slowed down instead of stopped, he starts to walk again before stopping and looking at the man. He frowns a little as a certain memory comes up and he walks up before digging into his pockets and finds a piece of paper.

The boy soon came out of the other side of the alleyway and drops the knocked out man on the building out near the streets, a piece of paper tied to his shirt as the boy walked down the road leading out of the city. The note reading 'You can find my stash here with all the cash stolen.' Followed by an address.


"You sure about this Raven?" Cyborg asks.

"Positive. The trail is leading this way," Raven says walking down the street with the others before heading down an alleyway. "There is a magic buildup here," she notes looking around.

"And a knocked out dude," Beast Boy says walking up and looking to the man leaning against the building and sees the note.

"With a knife. He is a mugger," Robin points out.

"I got no 911 calls for this. Must not have been found yet," Cyborg says looking to his arm screen. "Now it's called," he says as his arm beeps.

"Dude, Cinderblock would have been spotted if we were tracking him," Beast Boy says.

"And maybe smashed this area if he kept running," Robin says looking to the walls to see any kind of damage, knowing Cinderblock's size. "It might be that we are dealing with another person here. Does the trail continue?"

Raven looks around before walking out of the alley and points down the road. "It leads this way, but it's fresher instead of washed out like the last few miles."

"Then we better hurry before this person might get to an innocent," Robin says before they all rush down the road with Raven leading the way.

"We don't know if it is a person yet Robin," Raven says starting to fly after the trail.

"For all we know, it could just be a relic, artifact, or something magical that someone or something is using to do this," Cyborg guesses.

"Whatever it is, we have to stop it and make sure it doesn't get to an innocent person because I am drawing a line at that mugger," Robin says trying to keep up.


The boy kept trying to walk and hold his head as it kept throbbing in pain. His legs still keeping him going to prevent himself from getting caught. However, he can feel himself getting tired after running those few short miles. He hopes to find a place to rest that maybe isn't filled with people. Maybe sleep without people watching over him constantly like back at the lab. A suddenly bright light made him stop and groan, holding up his hands in an attempt to block it.

"Hey kid, you okay? You look you've been through hell," someone says as the light stops moving and he hears some doors being opened and closed. "Hey Jack, look. He's bleeding in the shoulder."

"Damn. Better call this in," Jack says and starts to speak into a radio as he looks to where the boy came from.

"Hey. We can get you some help. Come on. Let's get you to the hospital," the first man says as he walks over and grabs his gloved hand and guides him to the police car before accidentally placing a finger on the skin on his head, making them both cry out in shock before the man falls to the ground knocked out as the boy struggles to stand, having been through this a few times in the last few hours getting to him.

"Zack! Kid! Stop!" the boy hears and sees the other man running over with a baton out.

The boy regains enough of himself and struggles to pull a glove off before forgoing the pain and reaches out and grabs the baton with his gloved hand and then places the free hand on the face, making them both gasp in pain. After a few seconds, the boy lets go and lets the man fall. Only for him to fall and kneel to the ground as he groans out loud in pain and holds his head. The throbbing headache back and stronger than ever.

"That's the source," a female voice says.

The boy looks up in pain and sees a group of five people in weird outfits running up and slowing down as they look to the men on the ground and then back to him. "Hey…we just want to talk," the one with a mask says holding up his hands as he carefully steps forward.

The boy gasps heavily as he tries to fight through the pain now, his headache coming on stronger. He struggles to stand now as he holds his head, watching the group as they seem to be getting ready for a fight as they steel themselves.

Only for the boy to fall face down knocked out from a massive headache.

"Okay. Someone want to explain what happened?" Beast Boy asks confused now.

"Well…we found the reason for those people knocked out," Robin says as Raven walks up and looks closely at the boy.

'Is that…?' she thinks.

She leans down and uses her magic before touching his head before gasping in shock as she felt a sudden magical influx go through her mind, letting her see the boy's memories and thoughts. All of this before forcing herself to jump back and trying to get her headache under control as she rubs her head. "Okay…not trying that until I know what is really happening."

"Yo Raven, what did you do?" Cyborg calls now on the ground, seemingly having been blasted by something.

Raven looks around and notices everyone else on the ground now before looking back to the boy and sees him still knocked out. "I just…tried to look in his mind."

"And then you blasted us," Beast Boy complains.

"No Silky. Ice cream is after dinner," Starfire says knocked senseless on the ground.

Raven blinks surprised as she can't remember sending out a blast of magic at them.

"So what happened Raven?" Robin asks.

"Can we talk at the tower?" Raven asks lifting the guy up with her magic.

"Maybe better as I don't think they will like the kid when they wake up," Cyborg says pointing to the still knocked out cops.

"Trust me on this," Raven says as her magic enveloped her and him and they disappeared.

"So…we walking?" Beast Boy asks as they look to where they were.
