Raven stretched out her lean legs, curling her delicate fingers into a fist as she tried to wake up. Her eyes were heavy and her stomach was light, and there was a warm body sleeping peacefully next to her. Her eyes widened and she swiftly leapt from her bed, landing gracefully on her feet. Robin was sprawled out on her bed, his face relaxed. His black hair looked soft and fuzzy, and his mask was slipping off his face ever so slightly on the right side of his face. The urge to reach over and slip it off was almost overwhelming, but she held back, her eyes trained on his chest, which rose and fell steadily. His skin was pale and lean, a perfect wrap for his lean muscles. Raven suddenly noticed her own lack of clothing and felt a small blush creep up her face.

Walking over to the other side of her room, Raven located another one of her dark suits, slipping it quickly over herself. Then she located her cape, discarded and in a heap on the side of her bed, and slipped that on as well. She glanced back at Robin's sleeping face once before she quietly left her room.

Noise surrounded her almost as soon as she stepped out of the door. She instantly felt a scowl pull at her brow, and quickly smoothed her features out before she walked into the chaos. Stepping out the door, Raven's nose scrunched up at the horrible smell wafting up from the kitchen. Beast Boy was shouting at Cyborg, who was stirring something green manically in a silver pan. Starfire was floating above both of them, her long hair almost dipping into the mystery substance as she made idle side-comments. Raven felt a headache throb at her temple. Beast Boy looked up as she entered the room and broke into a grin.

"Raven! You're up! Look, we made breakfast… Are you ok?" Beast Boy stopped pouring milk into a huge pot and furrowed his eyebrows at her.

Raven glanced up at him with a glare, and Beast Boy's ears turned down. Cyborg glanced up from stirring and grinned, flicking a glop of the substance at Beast Boy, who immediately responded with a stirring spoon to Cyborg's head. Starfire squealed as even more chaos erupted underneath her, her smile as bright as the sun itself. Raven glowered.

"You're asking for it, BB!" Cyborg shouted as he yanked the pot of milk and syrup off his head.

"Then give it to me!" Beast Boy yelled back, laughing as he tossed the carton of milk at Cyborg. It hit the half-robot square in the head, then ricocheted off and dumped the milk on Starfire's head. The alien frowned in confusion, then laughed.

"This is indeed how friends show friendship, yes?" Starfire asked, picking up a strand of her drenched hair. Beast Boy hollered up his affirmative just as Raven turned her head to start making her herbal tea. She heard a whistling and turned just in time to get whacked hard in the face with an egg. There was a resounding crack as it split on her face, then deathly silence as the yellow yolk slowly slid down Raven's pale face. Taking a deep breath, Raven wiped the yolk from her eyes and slit them open. Starfire's pretty face was frozen in complete shock, and Beast Boy and Cyborg looked sick.

"Morning, Titans…" Robin's chipper voice trailed off slowly as he took in the scene before him. Raven's back stiffened and she whirled on him with a glare. His eyes flicked over to her, away from Starfire, where they had been locked.

"Raven, are you ok?" He asked softly, and she dropped her glare, returning to her impassive face.

"Brilliant."

"Raven, uh, do you want me to help you?" Beast Boy asked hesitantly. Raven glanced behind her and shook her head slightly, then stalked out of the room, leaving Robin to gawk at Starfire, and Beast Boy and Cyborg to clean up their mess.

Robin watched as Raven left in an emotionless swirl of cape, then turned back to the mess before him. He glanced up at Starfire, who was about ready to cry.

"I-I, I thought friend Raven would enjoy participating in the game of throwing food items!" She whimpered, sinking to the goop sodden, egg shell ridden floor with a plunk.

"It's ok, Star. Raven just doesn't like games as much as you guys do. She's not mad." Robin reassured Starfire gently, kneeling on the ground next to her. She looked up at him with her big, bright green eyes and something inside of him twisted. Then another pair of eyes rose up in his vision. They were wide and serious and the most mesmerizing shade of violet. He shook himself free of the vision and stood up and placed his hands on his hips.

"Alright, lets clean this place up."

AN: Ok, so this chapter was more of an introduction to the whole baseline of the story, and I promise that the rest of the chapters will NOT be this short. I just needed to get this out there and ready, hehehe. Please review if you have any suggestions or if you like how I'm doing so far – anything is helpful! Much love,
