Author's Note: Hey guys, so first off... this is more of my forte; as opposed to my first story published. I ask of you to please bear with me on that one, as that is extremely experimental. That story is an idea I had that I wanted to try, with a writing style that I am also just trying out. This story right here is on a way different scale and level, and I hope you enjoy it. Before we begin, let me explain a few things.

1. Don't expect all the chapters to be the same length.

I originally intended for this story to be an one-shot, though I have way too many story-arcs planned to keep it that way. Also, this took me forever to write, as I worked on this for months at a time; adding tid-bits here and there. I do not have enough time to full-fledge work on this story... or any story for that matter, so please don't expect me to make every chapter as long as this one. Though I will try.

2. Even if it's 2056, I will update this story.

It may be months... possibly even a year... but I promise; I will never stop updating unfinished stories. My other story is updated with month intervals, and do not expect a change from that in this story. I have a life you know. Though I will never be one of those authors that starts something, only to never work on it again for five years. It sucks to read a good story, only to see the last update was in 2007. Trust me, I cri evry tim.

3. There will be some adult-like themes.

There will be no smut. That would just ruin the overall fluffiness and realism to this story. However, I have it rated T because there will be some mature themes. Whether it be a lame sexual joke, or even some dark angst, it obviously isn't intended for all ages. Just a fore-warning so I do not get in trouble.

So without further ado, here is the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, and if I did, I wouldn't have taken this long to make season 6.

Raven yawned as she pushed her chair out from her desk to stretch. Her legs were tight and her arms felt numb from being frozen in the same, stagnant position. She had been sitting there in front of her laptop for hours; being drawn into the pulling void of the internet. Reading books were one thing, but reading on the internet was something entirely different. With a good, old fashioned book, it was much easier to monitor yourself and to take necessary breaks. However, when surfing the world wide web, the empath found it much harder to pull herself away. One click always leads to another; and it was very easy to become fully immersed into it.

But the demoness wasn't absentmindedly wandering around from page to page. She was skimming through one site she was all too well acquainted with:

FanFiction. net

Sure, she had spent countless hours on the diverse community before, and has read over 500+ fan written stories that were centered around the TV shows and books she liked and preferred. Lately though, she had adapted to the mobile app which was much more convenient. This time around she decided she might as well return to the "inferior" way of accessing these stories and open the site up on her laptop computer. While trading off the ability to read more comfortably, Raven liked reverting back to the computer in case she felt like writing again. It had been some time since she had posted anything. A few years, to be most precise. Still, if she ever found the motivation, she would not waste any time in typing it.

Searching for a great story always seemed to be challenging for Raven. Usually, they would have very good plots, but were not interpreted in a comprehensible quality. Either that, or the writing would be good… while lacking depth within itself. There would be no true character development, and the empath found it displeasing. What limited her choices even more were the categorizations and ratings. Would a K+ rated story be as good as a M rated? And how well did the author know the characters? Was this even in the right category she liked?

Rachel hated these things, because she could never really find that perfect story that depicted the characters she ultimately loved. Instead of going with her usual categories, the pale girl decided to branch off and explore something new. There was always that chance to discover a talented author whose works were severely unnoticed. She had to admit, some of the writers did not get the credit they deserved. Not that it affected her, anyway.

Looking through the list Raven rubbed the side of her eye with her index finger. They blurred slightly in her exhaustion from the amount of time spent in front of her computer. Maybe she should turn in for the night?

Then that's when her interest reignited. Right near the top of the list was a category she could not refrain from exploring. There in front of her, before her very eyes… was none other than the 'Teen Titans'. Her heart began to race, and she suddenly felt distraught.

Distraught… and mad.

There were so many things that could be wrong within those stories. Their personalities, their interests, and their overall lives. What stories would they come up with? What crossovers would the community create? Her stomach started to turn at these thoughts. Knowing FanFiction, what if there were some Teen Titans shipping going on?

Her eyes widened when that came across her mind.

Raven gritted her teeth as she clicked on the link. What she found made her entire body cringe. While there were a few decent storylines that was comprised of a more serious outlook, there were far more one-shots containing shipping. Most, had story covers showing the subjects of the said ship. And when her eyes found multiple works centered around a relationship between her and Beast Boy, the demoness had never been more mortified.

Who would even fathom a relationship with me and Garfield…?

She shook her head in disgust. Clearly the people didn't know how the Titans really were.

Robin…

He was the vigilant and pensive leader, who normally kept the entire team in check. He always made sure the team was ready for any scenario, and that usually meant grueling training sessions. He was mostly serious, yet he knew how to lighten up if you hit the right spots; especially when it came to Starfire.

Starfire…

She was the intervening angel who always kept Robin in line. She was the one who helped control the mood whenever it became too dense. When their friendship seemed to hang in the balance, it was Starfire who made it her mission to keep them together. She was the innocent sister to all of them, and the love interest of their leader.

Cyborg…

Victor. Vic… whichever he preferred. Beast Boy and occasionally the others called him "Cy", but Raven didn't typically prefer it. Cyborg was the eldest of them all, and the big brother to them as well. He listened to their own personal struggles and gave his very insightful advice when asked for it. He could be immature for his age, but his generally cool demeanor usually said "pleasant". He was a fun guy to be around, and very easy to talk to. He also found himself becoming close friends with Beast Boy in particular. They were always doing things together or arguing… typical things best friends always did. There was hardly ever a time him and Beast Boy weren't in the same room.

Beast Boy…

Why did they portray him as her love interest? Beast Boy… Beast Boy. Garfield. Garfield Logan…. where to begin? He was short, obnoxious, and the epitome of immaturity. His rather lame sense of humor was toxic, but it was entertaining at times. He could get under skin so thick it was surprising he wasn't very sharp. That was his one weakness. If he were smarter, then maybe he would see things differently. Understand them, from a different perspective. He was simple minded... opposed from Raven. He wasn't a thinker, and he made it clear himself; be it in his actions or his speech. However, beyond all his lacking in everything any civilized person would have… he was, sweet. Really sweet. Whether he admitted to it or not, he deeply cared for each and every member of the team. He had shown his concern for all of them multiple times before: with his guilt after accidentally pranking Starfire, to when he thought he had gravely injured Raven, when in all actuality, he was the one who had kept her safe. He showed his compassion especially towards her. He was always there for her, and really tried his best to reach out to her and to understand her… even when she pushed him away. The changeling made it his own foolhardy mission to get her to laugh, and ever since he would not stop to pester her with his jokes. That was another quality about him, he was determined.

Finally, there was Raven. The dark, sarcastic empath. She hated most things, and disliked most other things. Her interests were eccentric and very peculiar. She showed little to no interest in things people found to be enjoyable, and often times chose to devote her time to reading rather than any other kind of activity. Everything that required more effort than simply comprehending words on a page usually brought out the worst in her. Not because she wasn't good at those things, but because it allowed her emotions to shine through… which was dangerous for everyone. So, it was only natural for her to simply enjoy her tea and Edgar Allan Poe while basking in her lavender incense. And when that got tiresome, it was always rejuvenating to meditate. The team never understood her meditating and hearing her repeat her mantra. Most were spooked by it, except for Beast Boy. There had been some times where he attempted to join her, but his mind merely wasn't strong enough to obtain the balance he needed. After all, he was already scatterbrained enough as it was...

What was it about him though that people felt compelled to put the two together? Was he not her polar opposite? He was light, she was dark. He was day, she was night. He was the sun… and she, the moon. And… like all those things, they could never… EVER be together. They simply did not coexist. One always took over the other, and they never shared anything. Day and night, sun and moon, light and dark; they all were completely separated at all times. They could not both be in the exact same place. They just… didn't work.

So, how was it they would be any different? They had little to almost nothing in common. What came over people to make them think that they would ever end up together?

Well, there was only one way to find out…

Raven clicked and opened one of the Beast Boy and Raven romance stories that have been dubbed "BBRAE" by shippers all over. The title of this story was "Love Knows No Boundaries". She scoffed at the title. "Cliché, aren't we?" She remarked in her signature monotone. Looking over the summary, her eyes darted to the side to see the name of the author. It read:

'LOVExFRIENDSHIP_FOREVER'.

Raven could not help but to let out a snort as she laughed at the pitiful username. Okay, so maybe she had once used a catchphrase similar to that when enjoying one of the shows that she secretly loved. It's not like Pretty Pretty Pegasus wasn't cliché either…

Still, she could only imagine what type of person the author could possibly be like. Probably some bubbly, innocent type of girl who had no taste of reality. Even if it wasn't about her and the green bean, it still would most likely be the least bit entertaining.

Would still be better than Twilight…

With slight delay, Raven clicked open the story and began reading.

Beast Boy was training with Robin once again. For some reason, the resilient leader highly insisted on him to train more than the others. It had been a while now since he had first started working with him privately while everyone else had the day off. Knowing Robin, Beast Boy couldn't refuse. He would find some way to force him into it. Lately however, these training sessions haven't been too grueling… and it puzzled the changeling. The Boy Wonder was certainly up to something, he just couldn't figure out what.

A left hook came into Beast Boy's peripheral vision. Swiftly as ever, the green male dodged the punch with ease. As he turned away he let his left arm hang up, predicting the right jab that would follow shortly thereafter. He finally finished off with a strike of his own, only for his legs to buckle over after being met with a sweep kick. Before the changeling could fall, a gloved hand reached for him and caught him.

"You are improving Beast Boy, your reflexes are much faster. You are also beginning to catch on to the pattern of my movements. Soon I'll have to switch up my fighting style. Though your technique is still a little off." The masked teenager commented.

"Dude! I'm like, not you man. I don't even know why you have pushed me like this for so long. Besides, I don't even fight like this because of my powers!" Beast Boy whined as he clenched his fists and held them to his sides.

"I suppose I should tell you now rather than later." Robin mused. He crossed his arms while the side of his mask tilted upward before he explained. "Batman had spoken with me briefly a few months back, and told me about this group of secret operatives called 'S.E.A.R.', which stands for Specialized Enforcement And Recon. They're a unique organization looking for new agents that would be willing to take on missions most men would deem suicidal. Typically, each mission is performed solo; to minimize the amount of assets and to further prevent detection. Men with talents such as yours would be able to infiltrate and to sabotage fortresses and ordinance most would not be able to physically. They contacted him recently, and asked if he knew anyone young and eligible enough to join. Although I have a large skill-set, I lack in super powers. So, when the offer was given to me I deferred it over to you. I know you always dreamt of being a freelance hero, and I thought you would be willing and able to do it. It's your choice, but I still decided to train you so that you could be ready to fight hand to hand combat in case you were in a scenario where you couldn't use your powers."

Beast Boy's ears perked up as his eyes went wide.

Did he just say I was asked to join an elite task force?

He opened up his mouth as if to say something, but nothing came out. He tried again, and this time he was able to speak.

"Dude! That's wicked awesome! I would totally do that!" He exclaimed excitedly. "Do you really think I'm ready for that? Am I that good? Man I must be good. Of course I'm good!" He bragged as he raised his arms to flex.

"You're not ready yet, but you will be. After a few more months of intense training, I think you'll finally be prepared." Robin replied.

"Awwwww man! MONTHS?!"

"Months."

"Does it really have to be that long?"

"Yes."

Beast Boy let out a moan. This stuff was killing him. His muscles were sore, and his back was aching. He really didn't know how much more he could take. He stretched and yawned. "Are we done here?" He asked

"Yeah, we're done for today. Let's go ahead and clean up." Robin answered him before he spun around to pick up his gym bag.

"You know…" Beast Boy began. Robin turned his head to the side to show that he was listening.

"When I finally leave to go solo, I think I'm gonna miss you guys." He finished.

Robin smiled and held out his fist for Beast Boy to meet. They bumped fists before Robin made his remark.

"Well, I'm not so sure we'll be missing you too much." He said with a shady grin.

"Hey!" Beast Boy said as he pouted while Robin walked out of the training room.

It had been hours since Raven finally finished her third BBRAE FanFic. She may be a fast reader, but some of the works she saw had over 20 chapters. Her mind was boggled at the creativity each writer possessed. Every story had multiple arcs in the plotline, and some even contained a bit of angst within them. For some odd reason, she felt indifferent about the BBRAE angst. Although she wasn't enthusiastic about the concept of the couple, it still affected her in a negative way any time their "relationship" ended in animosity. It left this stale taste in her mouth, because she felt she would never want to hurt Beast Boy like she had in the stories.

But… did she? Did she ever hurt him before and he never show it? Of course, there had been times where she had hit a nerve or two; but she never really considered if she had ever really tapped into his feelings.

I wonder if he feels anything for me…

Raven shook her head. She had been too engaged in those stories, that it had begun to go to her head. Though she had to admit, those writers really made it convincing enough for her to be willing to try it. She never really had luck with guys, and he seemed really interested in her. Whether it was romantic or not, she didn't know. She was indeed an empath, but she made it her own vow to not read the emotions of her fellow teammates. Still, she often wondered what kind of affect she had on him…

It was too crazy anyways. He had no reason to like her, right? She was quiet most of the time, and usually her sarcasm was a bit rash and could practically cut through steel. She always killed his mood and would physically hurt him every time he did something to annoy her. Yet, Raven had a strange feeling that he actually enjoyed her insults and cheap shots.

So now it was clear to the pale girl that Beast Boy obviously wasn't going to get off of her mind anytime soon, so she might as well get some Chamomile Tea to relax her before attempting to get some sleep. Right as she got up to complete her task, she took a quick glance back at her computer screen. The reviews caught her eye and she shifted what little of attention she had left to the various critics. Most were praising the work with exaggerations like "This is the best BBRAE EVER!" and the such. One specific review by "TV_and_Tummy_Tickles" stood out to her. The side of her face rose slightly to reveal a faint smile plastered onto it. Clearly this reviewer was a BBRAE enthusiast. His or her review stated:

TV_and_Tummy_Tickles: "OH MY GOSH. OH. MY. GOSH. THIS WAS SO PERFECT IN EVERY WAY I LOVED IT SO MUCH. EVERYTHING WAS JUST SO PERFECT AND I JUST REALLY LOVE YOUR WRITING. YOU ARE AWESOME AND YOUR STORY IS FANTASTIC! KEEP WRITING MORE BBRAE!"

Another peculiar reviewer also threw himself out in front of her with his comments. She couldn't help but to roll her eyes and scoff at the flattery:

xXGreen_is_MeanXx: "Cool story. I liked how you kinda strung things together, it was pretty sweet. You made Raven sound like a hottie! ;D"

After a few minutes of delay, she decided she might as well comment on "LOVExFRIENDSHIP_FOREVER's" story. When she finished typing it, she proofread it to ensure that it was legible enough with no errors within the grammar. It read:

Deadpan46: "While I am fairly new to the Teen Titans FanFiction, I will say I was a bit caught off guard with your choice in shipping. However, your peculiar writing style and interlacing storylines between both characters were nothing short of excellence. I look forward to more of your work. Just don't get too arrogant after this review.

(PS: Just so you know, Raven's cloak is blue. NOT purple. Also, I felt there were some times where she was a little OOC for my taste, but maybe that's just me.)"

Grunting in satisfaction, Raven's fingers left the keyboard as she stood up from her desk. She let out a silent yawn and a stretch before levitating towards her door to exit her room.

It was late. The young vibrant teenager was spread out on the couch with his deep green eyes slightly shut. Training had crept up on him, and he was finally feeling the effects of it all. As he stared into the back of his eyelids, Beast Boy reflected on everything and nothing at all. From his friendships with his teammates, to the times to which they all shared. Every given moment they had with each other was never a dull one. Memories flooded in as he recalled each specific thing that made every second with them special. All of their personalities mixed together as well as their interests always made sure the Tower was lively. It gave the place a culture like none other.

Especially with Starfire and her odd customs.

He was truly gonna miss it all. That is, if he actually accepted Robin's offer. Would he? Well, it was his dream to be a solo hero and the centerpiece of attention. But was that really what he wanted? He had such tranquility here; a comfort, unlike any other. They were his family… and while yes, the Doom Patrol filled that void for some time, the Titans were something a bit more. What would he do without Cyborg? His best friend, the one who would listen to his problems and situations even while he was going through his own; yet challenge him to any game on the GameStation. His robotic counterpart simply could not be replaced. And Starfire? She was all too unique to ever be able to come close to finding someone like her. But it wasn't just her odd speech, or eccentric ways; it was her big heart. She cared deeply for each and every one of them, and it was the most redeeming and rare qualities Beast Boy had ever seen. Robin was one lucky guy. She was fun, attractive, and amazingly loyal. If his gut were to be trusted (and it usually was), their current relationship would probably escalate in a positive way after just a few short years. Then there was Raven. Sure, there were hundreds of men working on a guide book to women; in hopes that they may one day understand them. But with Raven, she had her own set of books about her with unfinished volumes. There was so much depth to that girl that Garfield could barely keep up with. To say she was like an onion because she had many layers was a clear understatement in his eyes. Backtracking to the beginning, she was a half-demon conceived by rape. She never knew her mother in the way anyone else should, and she most definitely didn't have a normal childhood. She was taught that emotions were signs of weakness and lack of self-control; that through them Trigon would be able to set himself loose upon the world. She wasn't allowed to indulge herself in things like joy or happiness, and even deeper things like love and affection. She merely just felt satisfaction and tolerance for things… purposely making sure she stayed detached from anything and everything. She had to, it was what she was forced into believing. However, that didn't stop her from feeling the deeper and negative emotions such as sadness, and despair. She knew loss, and felt pain. Anger and hate, as well as jealousy and spite. He not only seen it all, but felt it as well. He may not be an empath, but he was able to pick up on the way Rachel was feeling on occasion.

I guess that comes with the territory of trying to understand someone who doesn't want anyone too close to them...

With his time with the demoness, Beast Boy learned how to read her feelings in other ways. The way her shoulders were placed, her slight changes in her posture, the choice in vocabulary; eloquent when she was comfortable, and more simple yet still refined when angry. The way her eyes shown beautifully when she felt vulnerable…

Garfield held his hand to his face. He was smitten by the girl. Sure, he flirted with her nonchalantly on occasion; but everyone didn't take it seriously. He openly flirted with any girl he came in contact with… though after a series of confrontations from Robin, he refrained from saying anything flirtatious towards Starfire; regardless how innocent its intent. Sure, usually when he said things in a flirtatious manner it was usually a tease by nature. But with Raven… not all of it was him just pestering her.

He had tried hinting at his true feelings to her for some time now. No matter how much he thought about it, no matter how much he practiced… he could never muster the courage to tell her straight up. Instead, he always backed out or choked. Raven simply shrugged his efforts off, apparently oblivious to what he was trying to communicate to her. It puzzled the mind of the changeling how she did not feel his growing passion for her. How much he longed for her. The times he thirsted after her so much that it ached in his heart. How his affections took over and made him want to scream how much he loved her. But he didn't. He couldn't. And it was ripping him up inside.

She would never want to be with someone like me…

Beast boy. Out of all the people amongst his friends- his family, he knew that Raven would easily be the person he would miss the most. The monotonous, smart remarks that she made after he had done something out of ignorance. While it could get frustrating in the moment, he found himself wanting more. It fueled a fire in him, creating a romantic tension that was only felt by him. Every time she brought him down, he found himself more and more in love. Maybe it was because of the mystery… the unsolvable enigma that was Raven. Maybe it was just his longing for a mate. His animal instinct. Maybe all he ever feels is nothing further than primal. Yet he felt like she was just egging him on at times; daring him to come after her. Either way, he knew this was more than just a simple, old teenage crush.

The worst of it all, the team began to notice it one by one. First came Cyborg, who knew his little green buddy all too well. He felt remorse for the changeling, and offered him advice and emotional support. Later came Robin, who at first was a bit shocked, but then was at ease at the situation; and even happy for the hyperactive elf. They had a lot of "man talks" between the three, each trying to give him confidence and purposely creating scenarios for him to be able to confess to Rachel privately. However, it usually ended up with a very bland Raven who scoffed at a very fidgety and stuttering Beast Boy. Finally, when Starfire learned of his secret, she could hardly contain herself. Garfield winded up having to be taken to the infirmary for the bruising of his rib cage after she had hugged him so tightly. The way she found out too was accidental; it was when she saw Cyborg and Robin putting together a forged note and flowers from Beast Boy in Robin's room, and she became suspicious of their behavior. After a few minutes of unnecessary nagging mixed in with her cute factor, Robin and Cyborg gave in and spilled the beans… much to Starfire's delight.

Now, everyone waited for Beast Boy to man up and make a move. It simply was not to happen. Being depressed that his current friendship with Raven remained unchanging, the green teen gave up on it all together. Much to Starfire's dismay of course. Still, he needed some way to fulfill his desires for her, and he dreamed of her daily. Then, that's when he found out about FanFiction.

At first, Garfield was skeptical about it all. He wasn't quite the advent reader, and he wasn't big on long stories either. Yet he somehow managed to read a few stories written on the website, and found a good number of stories he liked. Then, one day, he stumbled across BBRAE. He was surprised people felt they should be together, but was happy nonetheless. If something was already there, they saw it more that he did. That's when he decided to make his account, and secretly began writing stories of his own. While he didn't typically do anything productive on his own time, he found writing to be both soothing and satisfying. This way, he could vent both his frustrations and feelings into his writing, and really express himself in such a way that he could not in real life.

After thinking about the site for a brief moment, Garfield sat up and smiled. He grabbed his laptop he had brought with him and opened in his browser. After a series of clicks, he was in his library, looking to reread his favorites. When he fell upon the story by LOVExFRIENDSHIP_FOREVER, he immediately remembered it and opened it up.

Raven teleported herself into the kitchen to make herself a cup of tea. She absolutely loved Chamomile Tea; for the taste was eccentric, and it had many health benefits... which is exactly why she liked it. The dark empath opened up the cabinet doors and peered inside. To her disappointment, there were only a few packets of Earl Gray Tea left to use. Grumbling to herself, Raven grabbed a packet and tore it open. Within minutes, she was on her way to her room with a hot cup of tea in her hand. She passed by Beast Boy, who appeared to be engaged in his computer. When she tried to look over his shoulder to see what he was so interested in, the bashful green teen swiftly turned around and blocked her point of view while looking at her straight in the eyes.

"How's it going Rae?" Beast Boy said while laughing nervously.

Raven remained silent as she studied her anxious companion. What was he hiding?

Typical youthful males and their constantly dirty minds… Always needing the internet for their "private time". Raven thought to herself.

She shook her head. "Boys." She commented as she rolled her eyes.

"Uhm… Heh heh… What are you talking about Rae?"

"Nothing. What are you doing?" She asked him as she motioned to the still open laptop with her head.

"Uh… Nothing?" Beast Boy answered with oily bald-headed smoothness.

"So if I'm talking about nothing, and you're doing nothing, then nothing is being accomplished while I'm around you. I'll just head back to my room then." She stated dryly before turning away.

"Yeah, sure! Just… ah, do that…" Beast Boy said as he watched the demoness float away. His eyes trying to follow any curve that her cloak allowed him to see.

"Man she looks good in purple!" He expressed to himself as he returned to his computer.

"Wait…" He paused before slapping his hand to his forehead.

"It's blue!"

Raven returned to her room shortly after a rather awkward encounter with Beast Boy.

Well it wouldn't have been awkward if he wasn't acting so weird…

The mistress of mystery sat on her bed and placed her glass teacup on the nightstand nearby. Her eyes scanned over her desk and saw that she had left the computer on. She groaned in aggravation as she pulled herself back up from her comfortable position and walked over to the laptop. Before opening the dashboard to shut down the machine, she looked to the side bar of options she had access to under her profile. Alongside the "Private Messages", she saw she had received (1) new message. Ever so curious, she sat in her chair and hovered the mouse over the messages before clicking on it to open up her inbox. It took a few seconds for Raven to recognize the username. She had seen the user review several of the stories she had read recently, and seemed to have quite the obsession with BBRAE. Now even more intrigued, she moved her eyes over to the message title:

"BBRAE Collab Project"

Tapping her chin tentatively, the empath directed her attention to the message's body. She read it to herself with an awkward expression spreading across her face.

BBRAE Collab Project

Message from: xXGreen_is_MeanXx

Hey wassup!

So I noticed some of your comments on other BBRAE stories, and I was wanting to know if you wanted to help me write my first BBRAE fanfic! I'm not really good at writing about Raven, because I don't really know her too well… but from what I've seen you know a lot more about her than I do. So I was hoping that maybe you could help to go over my chapters and tell me how Raven would act in each situation? Sometimes I feel like I understand her and why she does things… but being honest sometimes there are things she does that makes me absolutely clueless! Why is she so hard to understand? I don't know man. She can be a tough character to predict, especially with all the blank faces and the lack of emotion she likes to very so often hide behind. I mean dude, what other girl in the world is like her?! It makes you wonder if being one of the most powerful beings in the world somehow forces you to be one of the quietest and most reserved. That would be dumb! Think of all the possibilities out there when having at least HALF of her powers. Like I know if I were one of the most powerful people on Earth, I would probably be seeing if I could turn the ocean into Kool-Aid, or make Leonardo DiCaprio win an Oscar or something impossible like that. I guess you get to be super powerful only if you were born with a sense of responsibility. I mean knowing me, I most likely wouldn't handle it right. But of course you don't know me haha, I'm just sayin'. Anyways, you look like a very good writer, and I hope we can work together soon!

Raven squinted at the screen, not because she couldn't see what was written… but because she couldn't believe for a few seconds what she had just read. Or, in fact, even understand what she had read. The person's message was completely all over the place and disoriented. Half of it was pointless rambling and almost the internet equivalent of small-talk. The rest more or less, at least made some sense to a degree. And for what she did make out of it, she furrowed her brow in astonishment.

Did someone ask her if she would like to help make a fanfiction? A fanfiction… about her and Beast Boy?!

Why in seven hundred dimensions would she ever write a fictional love story between her and the snot colored furball?!

Sure, this person clearly had a valid reason as to reach out to her, as no one truly knew how Raven was except for herself; an edge certainly to be had when writing about her. However, the said person had no foreknowledge that she was actually Raven… instead of some random user. Still though, this person in particular must have seen several of her critiques and had to have realized her seemingly extensive collection of facts that had everything to do with the empath. She had to give them points for tracking her down.

She also could have sworn she had seen that username before…

Raven sat up straight before arching her back as she stretched out her arms. After letting out a peaceful yawn, she folded her arms and looked down at her keyboard. Was she really considering accepting the request? She hadn't written anything in a long time, and she definitely wasn't too comfortable with exploring even a fictional relationship with Beast Boy. Yet… curiosity was getting the better of her. She wondered what it would be like to almost witness firsthand how a true relationship would play out, and how she would respond to it. She also wondered if she could somehow see exactly what people saw between both her and the grass stain.

Raven sighed to herself before letting her fingers dance all across the keyboard.

Good day,

When I first saw your request, it would be a lie if I were to say I would be thrilled working with you. You seem to be somewhat inept, and I question your competence merely through your peculiar choice in vocabulary. That all put aside, I accept. Do not expect any level of enthusiasm in any form from me, and I cannot promise the consistency or how punctual I will be in regards to my responses. I do however agree to give you some of my insight and will guide you in your character development. Please send me your plot, and your plans on how to interpret it.

Sincerely,

DeadPan46

Beast Boy stared blankly at his computer, not because he was at all confused or surprised at the response he had just received… But simply because he did not expect such hostile mannerisms. Yet for some odd reason, it felt familiar enough not to rattle him too much.

"Well, it was a yes!" He exclaimed triumphantly while silently fist pumping the air.

He stood there for a brief moment in satisfaction, a huge smile plastered on his face.

Then his eyes went wide as soon as he realized that he had practically yelled; loudly.

Suddenly self-conscious, Beast Boy quickly sat himself back down with tense muscles… before he carefully looked around him to make sure he was unnoticed. Unsurprisingly, he was all alone.

As per usual.

The green teen slumped back into the couch and let out a sigh. He then looked back at his laptop.

Should he respond now? Well, he didn't want to look like he had no life…

Beast Boy decided to wait till the morning to respond. After all, it was getting late anyways. It would be best if he got some proper shuteye and save his energy, as well as his glorious, ever-so-magnificent brainpower for the next day.

The green bean shut off his laptop before closing it carefully, making sure the screen was not scratched in the process. He ran his thumb across the smooth and sleek top of the computer, feeling the coldness of the aluminum. He sat there, wanting to move… and yet his body being too tired to do so. For a few minutes, Beast Boy just sat there, hand on computer, staring straight at it without any particular thoughts.

His nose wrinkled up, taking in a few sniffs here and there instinctively. His face scrunched up, and before long he snapped out of his trance.

"Dude, what reeks?"

He looked around him, surveying the barren dark room around him. He then looked down at his suit, before timidly attempting to smell one of his armpits.

"Yegh! Aw man, I forgot to take a shower!"

With newfound motivation, Beast Boy stood up, grabbed his computer, and made his way towards his room. Soon he would find some fresh clothes and head to the shower.

He let out one final yawn as he continued to walk down the empty hallway. He then recalled all what had transpired that day, specifically what Robin had just told him. The young jokester had a lot to think about; an important life decision to consider. He smiled to himself, proudly puffing out his chest.

"I'm becoming a man!"

Well look at me, I actually made a long chapter for once. Don't expect this ever again!

Okay, so maybe one day I might be able to pull this off.

Hopefully this is something worth reading. I would be more motivated to write and update more if you leave reviews!

So, please rate and review! I also do not mind constructive criticism!

Until next time,

Lord Sicarius

EDITED 6/30/17:

Made some minor fixes to the dialouge; some things were left out when uploading the file. I simply re-added them in, so that some parts make more sense. For example, in the beginning "FanFiction. net" was missing from where it was supposed to be. Also, one of the "reviews" in this story had hearts in them (made with a less than sign and the number '3'), but they were missing the less than sign because apparently some symbols do not work. As a result, it looked like this: "3 3 3". I changed it to have a winking, flirty face instead.

Expect a chapter and responses to reviews soon.
