Z/N: Nobody in here is mine. This is set after Birthmark, but not in an actual story arc.

Raven sighed, and glanced up from her book. There was still quite a lot of day left. She stood up, and walked downstairs to the living room in Titans Tower, attempting to ignore the pink and red decorations marking what was possibly the worst holiday ever. She sat down on the couch, and became absorbed in her book once again. The Titans gradually began to gather in the room. She didn't look up. "Friends," Starfire began. "I have an announcement to make, I think I am in the love with one of you."

Robin grinned uneasily. Cyborg sensed his discomfort, and hid a frown. He would no doubt try to find a way to tell Starfire that he was just her friend, in order to be with Raven. Well, he wasnt going to let that happen. He was going to get Raven's attention. Beastboy tensed up. With Robin out of the way, he'd only have to compete with Cyborg for Raven.

Starfire took a deep breath. "I am in love with friend Raven." There was silence. Raven slowly lowered her book, eyes a bit wider than usual. Then the whole room erupted.

"But I'm in love with Raven!" All three male Titans shouted.

Out of instinct, Raven teleported to her room. She laid against the door, heart pounding. All of the Titans were in love with her! She summoned a book, and hit herself on the head with it. Definitely awake. She caught her breath. Now what? There was a knock at the door. She slowly opened it, barely enough to peek out. Robin grinned at her.

"Are you okay Raven? Do you want to come train with me? It'll relieve tension."

"Yes and no." Raven fought to keep her voice steady. She shut the door. He was right though, she did need to relax. She sat down in her usual position, and closed her eyes.

"Azarath Metri-" There was another knock at the door.

"What do you want?" Raven called.

"Hey Raven! You wanna come play a video game with me?" Beastboy asked cheerily from behind the door.

"No." She responded. She closed her eyes again as she heard him leave. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Az-"
"Yo Rae! I was gonna go to the video store! You wanna come with?" Cyborg shouted.

"Nope." Raven replied. "Azarath metrion Zin-"

"Friend Raven! Will you journey with me to the mall of shopping?"

Raven felt her hair begin to stand out. "Azarath! Met-"

"In that case want any cookies?" Beastboy asked. "I made them myself!"

"Noo!" Raven shouted. She threw open the door and ran outside.

"Dont you like cookies?" Beastboy asked her fleeing form.

She flew over the water without even faltering and finally stopped under a tree in the park. Maybe here she could get some peace and much needed meditation. She closed her eyes, and breathed in deeply.

"Raven. Just who I was looking for." Came a familiar voice.

Raven opened her eyes. "Slade?"

"I am here to tell you how I really feel about you."

Raven's eye twitched. "Let me guess. You love me."

Slade's eye widened. "How did you know?"

Raven teleported away. She landed in an alley close to her favorite bookstore. "Finally! A place where nobody cares!" She entered the building.

"Oh, Raven!" Blackfire greeted her.

"Why arent you on Tamaran?" Raven asked, eyeing her suspiciously.

"Never mind that, I have something to tell you."

Raven walked right back out of the store. And ran into Red X. "You know you love me." Raven said before he had a chance to respond. She started to run, leaving Blackfire and Red X to bicker over her. She rounded a corner and ran into three very familiar and quite welcome members of Hive.

"Tell me you dont love me!" She shouted at them. Mammoth blinked. Gizmo was so shocked he dropped the sack he was carrying, and money fell all over the street.

"Heck no I dont love you!" He shouted.

Mammoth nodded his head. "Me neither."

Raven sighed in relief. "Oh, thank you!"

Jinx stepped forward. "I'm sorry, but I do." She whispered.

Raven screamed and teleported again. She landed in the living room of Titans East. Bumblebee jumped. "Oh! Hi, Raven. Just dropping in?" She grinned.

Raven calmed down a bit. "Thank Azarath. Something really weird is going on, almost everyone I meet says they love me." Bumblebee frowned. "Then you probably dont wanna stay around here. I have it on good authority that Aqualad, Speedy and Hotspot love you too." Raven groaned. "Good Luck!" Bumblebee called after her as she teleported away yet again.

The goth girl peered in the door at the assembled people. She saw all of the Titans, minus some from Titans East, and a good number of villians. She sighed, and walked in with as much self confidence as she could muster. "Welcome to the Raven-holics self help group. I am your therapist, Latias." Here she paused.

There was an assembled, "Hello, Latias."

"Very good. We will start with introducing each other, and how long youve liked Raven. She paused again. "Robin, come up please." Robin walked to the front of the room.

"I'm Robin, and Ive liked Raven since she joined the team." He walked away.

Jinx stood up. "Jinx. Ive liked her since she proved to be my equal in battle."

"BeastBoy. Since the mind thingy incident."

"Cyborg. Since she helped build my T-car."

"Starfire. I have liked her since she and I switched bodies."

Some people coughed.

" Slade. Since I learned of her prophecy."

"Red X. Since I saw her."

"Aqualad. Since I first met her."

"Speedy. A few months."

"Blackfire. Since I saw her first."

Hotspot stood up, and nodded. He sat back down.

Latias hid a whine beneath a smile so big it hurt. None of these people could lay any actual claim to a reason why they liked her so much as to obssess over her. It was going to be a long session.

Raven ventured into the kitchen as soon as she was sure the Titans were gone. She desperately needed some herbal tea. A soft sensation barely began to make itself known in her mind.

"Raven." A voice said in silky telepathic tones.

"FOR THE LOVE OF AZARATH MALCHIOR WHY DID YOU PICK TODAY TO START BREAKING LOOSE!"

There was silence. Raven sighed. "Sorry." She said after a while. "You're really the least of my problems today."

"The least of your problems?" Malchior asked a bit hesitantly.

"Half of everyone I've ever known has suddenly proclaimed their undying love for me."

"All in one day?" Malchior's psychic voice took on a hint of amusement.

"Yes." Raven growled.

The lights flipped on. The Titans, Titans East and all the villians who had suddenly grown quite fond of her today stood around the door. "Raven, we've decided that whoever attracts the most attention from you gets to have you." Robin said.

"WHY DO YOU LOVE ME! YOURE DRIVING ME CRAZY!" Raven yelled.

She teleported to her room. "I have to get out of here. Go somewhere they'll never think of looking." She said out loud.

"Then why are you in your room?" Malchior asked.

"I'm taking your book with me. I need someone to talk to, and you're really the least problematic at the moment."

"As you wish, dear Raven." Malchior replied. Raven sensed his amusement at her sudden predicament, but ignored it.

A few minutes later in Claires, Raven was huddled on a Hello Kitty cushion, against a wall filled with various pink glittery objects with some feathers, also pink. The people in Claires were trying not to look at the goth talking to a book in the Hello Kitty corner.

Malchior's eyes stared back up at Raven. "It is highly suspicious that everyone would love you, let alone quite suddenly decide to tell you all in the same day."

"It is Valentines day, but you have a point. This is going to ruin my life."

"Perhaps you could return to the tower and let them administer their futile affections upon you, and when they're done, simply tell them you dont love any of them. At the very least, it will buy us some time to think."

"I think I will. That's a good- Us? You're siding with me?"

"It is the most entertaining thing I have seen in centuries, sweet Raven. Remember I was bound in a book, and no one ever tells tales of this. Perhaps I can assist you. I will look further into the pages of books, and see if I cannot find some information. At the very least, it will keep me from being sealed up again quite so soon."

"If you do one thing wrong, I will seal you up, Malchior."

"Just call when you need me, Raven." The voice was gone from her head.

She waited a moment more, and then got up, casually walking out of Claires, book in hand.
