This story is written after the end of the series (not really including Tokyo, but under the assumption that Starfire and Robin got together).

It will be a collection of oneshots or think of them as eppisodes. Each story will appear in chronological order and there is a gereal foward moving plot.

The story takes a look at the moments between two people. How does love develop? Sometimes it comes about during big epic moments, but most of the time it blooms under the small moments. These moments small and seemingly insignificant build and grow until the relationship turns into love.

Now there will be plenty of stories within this story pertaining to Raven and Beast Boy. This story is about them after all. However, the other Titians will play a major roll as well.

I hope you enjoy! -Violet

My, What Big Claws You Have

Part 1

The morning was quiet. It was these soft romantic mornings that made Raven relax and loosen her stiff muscles. The sun was just peaking over the horizon chasing away the dark night and ushering in the golden rays of morning. The moon was squeezing every last moment of spotlight it could; its sliver was just barely visible against the lightening sky. Raven lifted her mug of tea to her lips and took a deep sip letting the warmth slide down her throat and spread to her limbs. It felt good to be home and have things back to normal . . . or at least what semblance of normal five teen superheroes could have.

Raven never thought she would fully embrace the T shaped building to be home. When she was younger she always longed for a home and a family, but that was something always denied to her, and Raven was afraid to make one for herself. Now she had it. For better or worse the Titans were her family. They knew her better than any other people on earth or anywhere else for that matter. She was happy that the five of them were back together instead of half a world away from each other fighting the Brotherhood of Evil and recruiting new Titans.

Raven was pulled from her thoughts by the sound of the automatic door to the common room swishing open. She did not have to turn to know who was behind her. Robin always got up not long after she did. Plus, their bond was stronger than ever. Some of his thoughts filter into her mind . . . a particularly inappropriate dream about Starfire, coffee, training simulations, needing to call the Mayor, and coffee again. Taking a deep breath, Raven put up the barrier between their minds. There were certain things about his relationship with Star that she simply never wanted to know and especially did not want to see.

"Good morning, Richard," Raven greeted her leader as he shuffled zombie like into the kitchen. Few knew that Robin was hardly a morning bird. He had to force himself out of bed and chug three cups of coffee straight before he could really form a coherent sentence.

"Nugh," he mumbled in reply and made a slow but steady path for the coffee pot waiting for him. Raven always got up every morning and started her pot of tea and turned the coffee machine on. They used to have one built by Cyborg that was custom made and automatic. However, three years ago it met a horrible end when Starfire tried to use it in some concoction she was cooking. Cyborg just never got around to building a new one. In fact, the old broken coffee machine was still in the kitchen taking up counterpace and collecting dust. No one had the nerve or heart to throw away something Cyborg had custom built.

Raven ignored her leader knowing he needed some alone time with his coffee. Instead, she sipped her tea and watched the sky slowly brighten. The forecast for the day was to be warm and sunny, which she had mixed feelings about. It was supposed to get a high as sixty six. They were just entering into spring with some remnants of the long winter still lingering. She hoped that no villains would come out from hibernation tempted by the warmer weather. She wanted the day to herself and she wanted to spend it at least near her family. Raven knew she growing to be borderline clingy. After all, four years ago she never would have read in the common room while everyone was there doing what they wanted. She did not have to join them in their activities, but being near her friends and family just made her feel better. She could bask in their warmth and happiness like sitting under the rays of the sun.

All in all, Raven was working on opening up more. She was slowly undoing the damage and programming of her childhood and expressing herself. It was not easy and at times she wanted to just retreat into her room or her under the hood of her cloak, but Raven refused to hide from her family anymore. Their time apart taught her that it would not always be this way. One day they would no longer be Titans. Cyborg was nineteen, and she and the others were eighteen, which meant they had four more years at most to be Titans. It was part of their Charter that no Titan would pass the age of Twenty Three. Raven refused to spend what time she had left hiding . . . at least from them . . . the rest of the world was fair game.

"Morning, Raven," Robin said just behind her sounding suddenly chipper. Raven turned to find her leader leaning against the back of the couch looking out to the sky she had just been admiring with probably his fifth cup of coffee in hand.

"Good morning, again." It was impossible with his mask on to guess what he was feeling, but Raven's empathy picked up that he was worried. "Richard, what's wrong?"

"Are you okay? You seem upset," he said with a small shrug.

"I will be fine, I was just thinking. No need to worry," Raven assured him. Robin pursed his lips to conveying how much he truly believed that one, but he let it go.

"Raven, would you mind waking everyone up for me? I'll get started on breakfast and then we'll do a light training exercise."

"Sure," Raven said.

Raven placed her empty mug in the sink and prepared for battle. Cyborg was easy to wake up. It was Garfield and Starfire that gave her trouble. She entered the halls leading to the bedrooms and knocked on Cyborg's bedroom door first.

"Cyborg, wake up Robin's cooking breakfast. If you don't get up he might not cook any meat." She knew his computer brain would have roused him from sleep at the sound of her knock. She moved on headed for Beast Boy's room knowing the metallic man was already moving.

Knocking on the door with black lettering that read Beast Boy Raven called, "Beast Boy, wake up!" Her fist pounded on the door. "Cyborg is cooking an all meat breakfast!"she said leaving out that Robin was also working on breakfast. Robin was more sensitive to Garfield's dietary needs. Hearing subtle movement, Raven continued down the hall. She passed Robin's room and stopped at Starfire's door.

"Starfire, wake up," Raven whispered softly near the door. "Starfire, it's time to get up. Your boyfriend Robin is waiting." When Raven heard silence as her reply she quickly put in the unlock code that Starfire gave her in case she was ever in the need of "emergency girl time" as Starfire put it. Raven never had an emergency that reguaired "girl talk" and she doubted that she ever would.

The door swished open and Raven leaned just her head inside. If she was being honest, Raven was a little afraid of Starfire's room. She never knew what sort of goop or creature might pop out at her. Even though it was dark, Raven could clearly make out the alien princess' form on the bed. Her head was dangling off the edge and her limbs sprawled everywhere.

"Starfire, come on get up," Raven said softy. "Starfire," Raven said louder. However, apparently it was too loud because a second later two green star bolts came flying towards her head. Having expected this, Raven instantly put up a shield with her powers and the green bolts of energy went off relatively harmlessly against her black aura shield.

"Oh, friend Raven, I am sorry to have attacked you in my sleep," Starfire said in a cheerful tone.

"It's alright Starfire, no harm done," Raven replied with her usual monotone voice. It surprised her sometimes how perky Starfire could be after just waking up. It would be interesting when Starfire's and Robin's relationship progressed to the point that they woke up together. Starfire would wake up to find her boyfriend has been reduced to a grunting caveman, and Robin would probably cringe at morning Starfire without coffee first.

"It is a most glorious day! Did you say that boyfriend Richard is waiting for me?" Star flew up and off her bed.

"Yes, he is making breakfast with Cyborg right now." The orange alien was smiling from cheek to cheek as she flew over to her fellow female titan.

"Oh how wonderful! I shall go join them at once. Shall you be accompanying me to join our friends?"

Raven began to walk back with Starfire, but shook her head. "No, I still have not managed to get Beast Boy up," she said stopping again outside his door.

"Oh, well I wish you luck dear friend and hope to see you both to consume the food of the fast break soon!" she said in a singsong voice and flew towards the common room. Raven watched her fellow female Titan leave. She had gotten used to Starfire's overly cheerful nature a long time ago. The girl was quite endearing in a way.

Sighing, Raven turned back to Beast Boy's door and knocked again. "Beast Boy!" she called out. She could not hear any sound on the other side. "Beast Boy, Cyborg is throwing away all of your tofu!" she said hoping to get him up and out of bed. Raven rested her hand against his door. "Beast Boy if you don't open up right now I'm coming in there and you will not like that."

Having recieved no reply, Raven used her powers to phase through the door and entered someplace even more frightening than Starfire's room . . . Beast Boy's room. It was dark, which Raven expected. The guy liked to sleep till noon if he was allowed, so thick dark curtains were a necessity. It was not as dirty as she was expecting. Sure there was clothing littered on the floor with comic books, but there were no heaps of trash. Beast Boy's room also did not smell . . . actually it was quite the opposite. His room smelled of the forest and faintly of just plain him.

The bottom bunk bed was empty. However, Raven could see a clawed hand dangling from the top bed. In all her years as his teammate Raven had never seen Beast Boy without gloves on and now she knew why. His hands had claws on them. Was he ashamed of them? As weird as their group was claws were not that strange. So why did he hide them?

"Beast Boy," Raven said softly. All she could hear from the top bunk was his soft and steady breathing. Moving closer, she could not help but examine his hand more closely. They were long . . . perhaps a little more than an inch and resembled the claw of a wolf. Raven contemplated tugging his hand to wake the sleeping green Titan, but decided Beast Boy might not appreciate that. Raven flew up until she could see all of Beast Boy. He was facing the wall lying flat on his stomach. She blushed slightly noticing her was wearing nothing but Superman boxers.

"Beast Boy," she tried again. His ears twitched, but other than that he made no movement. Groaning in frustration, Raven reached out to him to give his shoulder firm shake. Her fingertips just barely touched him when Beast Boy shot up and grabbed her by the forearms. Raven screamed as a second later she found herself pinned underneath Beast Boy with his arms holding hers down either side of her head. His legs were straddling her own. She lost control of her powers causing several items on the floor to bust into pieces.

"Raven?" Beast Boy asked with a yawn still seemingly half-asleep.

"Let go of me!" she snarled. Her heart was pounding against her chest and she could feel the blush forming on her cheeks affect by the intimate position they were in. Beast Boy's eyes widened and he quickly scrambled to get off of her.

"Raven, I'm so sorry," He retreated to the other end of the bed. Raven quickly gathered her control with a few deep cleansing breaths. She sat up glaring at her teammate. "I didn't mean to attack you. Raven I am so so sorry."

"I know," she replied in a monotone voice.

"I was asleep I didn't even know it was you I swear! I would never hurt you Raven. You gotta believe me," Beast Boy rambled on.

"Beast Boy, calm down. I know you did not mean it—"

"You don't have to yell. I said I was sorry and . . . wait did you just agree with me?" he asked with a puzzled look and even cocked his head to one side.

"Yes, I did. It was about time you noticed," she quipped. Beast Boy gave a nervous chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck.

"So . . . care to explain to me why you're not mad at me and screaming threats to send me to a dark dimension of pain and suffering?" Raven raised one eyebrow. Apparently she needed to come up with new material. Beast Boy had heard all her good threats over the years.

"Beast Boy, you were sleep. I assume it was your animal instincts that drove you and not your conscious mind. I am unharmed so I see no reason to make a big deal out of this. However, I strongly suggest you keep this little incident to yourself," she threatened. The last thing she wanted was for Robin or Cyborg to dangle Beast Boy getting the best of her over her head. "Robin wanted me to wake you for breakfast," she said explaining her intrusion as she flew down to the ground.

"Raven," Beast Boy called. Raven paused just in front of his door. Her empathy picked up several emotions coming from him . . . fear being at the forefront, which made her pause.

"Yes," she replied trying to make her voice sound softer and more welcoming.

"You saw them didn't you?" Raven did not have to ask what "them" he was referring to. She could tell he was frightened by what her reaction to his claws might be. She wanted him to know that there was nothing strange about his claws.

"I did not see anything unusual. Come on lets go eat," she said and with that phased through the door.

Beast Boy sat on the edge of his bed looking at his door after Raven phased through it. He just did not get her. Being her teammate and living with her for years did not shed any light on the mystery that was Raven. Just when he thought that he understood her she would go and do something totally unexpected. Since they got back from fighting the Brotherhood, he and Raven had been distant. They were not avoiding each other exactly, but they also never seemed to talk much anymore.

For once the distance was not Raven's fault. She was there in the common room every day. She greeted him when they crossed paths, but Beast Boy had not sought out more. He let them have the bare minimum. He knew he was sulking . . . over losing Terra a second time. He was letting her go and in many ways he had to go through the stages of grieving all over again. Beast Boy was just not really up to talking with Raven. She would sense he was upset because of her powers and well . . . he knew how Raven felt about Terra.

Sighing, Beast Boy buried his face in his hands. Raven. She drove him crazy in good and bad ways. It was not right of him to sulk and let their hard earned friendship disintegrate. His relationship with her was rocky at best and it was something he needed to work at every day because he knew Raven would not. Beast Boy took another deep breath before jumping off his bed and landing soundly on his feet. He quickly put on his uniform and headed towards the common room.

The door swished open and Beast Boy entered the main room observing scene for a moment. Cyborg was clearly making bacon and eggs while Robin and Starfire were doing something with fruit, which sounded promising. Raven was sitting patiently at the table surrounded by plates and set up silverware. Her hands gripped her mug of tea while watching the others cook. She seemed so attentive and Beast Boy could not help but smile at the sight of her.

"A glorious morning to you friend Beast Boy. Boyfriend Robin and I are preparing an earth dish of fruit for all of us to consume so there is no need for you to prepare yourself the fast of break!" Starfire cried out in excitement.

"Oh cool, thanks Star. Uh . . . I can get the drinks. What does everyone want?"

"Orange juice and the real stuff not some soy crap!" Cyborg shouted as he flipped the eggs.

"Cy, they don't make soy orange juice," Beast Boy pointed out as he squeezed in between Star and Robin to get out the glasses.

"Oh and I shall have the mustard please," Starfire said.

"Uh Star . . . how about some orange juice and then you can save the mustard for your food," Robin suggested to his girlfriend no doubt thinking about how much the Titans spent on mustard in one week alone.

"So, I'm guessing that you want orange juice too?" he asked his leader. Robin nodded and smiled. Beast Boy went to the refrigerator and pulled out the OJ and placed it on the counter. He felt someone watching him so he turned and caught Raven's eyes on him. She blushed and quickly averted her eyes. "Hey, Rae do you want something or are you just good with your tea?"

"I'm fine with just tea, thank you," Raven replied staring down intently at her mug. Beast Boy smiled wondering if he just caught Raven checking him out. She was certainly acting like it . . . all embarrassed and blushing. He liked seeing her blush, though it did not happen often. It put a little color in her cheeks and made her look . . . well cute.

"The eggs and bacon are done!" Cyborg shouted shaking Beast Boy from his thoughts. He quickly poured four glasses of orange juice, returned the container to the refrigerator, and then placed each glass in front of a plate. His eyes scanned over to Raven and he took a seat next to her. He worked hard over the years to worm his way into her good graces and he was not about to let that just go.

"Beast Boy, you're staring," Raven said not even looking up from her tea. How did she know?

"Yeah, well, I happen to like the view." He wanted to get a rise out of her. She finally looked up at him with one eyebrow raised.

"Not funny, Garfield." She only called him by his real name if she was either really serious, angry, or both. It was odd having someone outside of the Doom Patrol call him by that. Occasionally, the other Titans would call him Gar, but never Raven. To her, he was either Beast Boy or Garfield. He really wished she would call him Gar . . . or just stick to Beast Boy. She was still glaring at him with that unyielding stare.

"Oh friends look what Boyfriend Robin and I have prepared!" Star exclaimed and unknowingly broke the growing tension. Beast Boy smiled at Starfire before giving the large bowl she placed on the table a suspicious look. It looked fine . . . just a mix of cut up fruit. However, Beast Boy knew better than to trust any food Starfire had a hand in preparing so he gave a sideways glance at Robin who nodded.

"Looks fantastic Star." He began piling fruit onto his plate after Robin confirmed that it was edible.

Cyborg placed the eggs and bacon on the table and everyone sat down for breakfast. Beast Boy happily began shoving fruit into his mouth. Once the initial urge to feed died down Beast Boy looked around. Cyborg was inhaling his eggs and bacon like a vacuum. Robin was talking to Starfire about why earthlings for the most part only drank milk from cows. Starfire looked confused as she poured mustard onto her fruit and eggs. Beast Boy noticed how little was on Raven's plate . . . two pieces of bacon, four strawberries, and a couple of grapes. She never ate much . . . if anything at all. How did she keep those wonderful curves when she barely ate enough to keep a mouse alive?

"Beast Boy, you're starring again," Raven said with a touch of anger. Again, her eyes were focused on her plate and not him. He knew she sometimes has another set of eyes, but all he could see were her two violet ones.

Before Beast Boy could respond, the tower began to flash in red as the alarm went off. Everyone jumped up from their seats and ran towards the computer screen while Robin checked the computer for the information on the trouble.

"Team, the underground mall they were building over on 21st has collapsed. There are four construction workers trapped. Two of them are critically injured and one is unconscious. Their air supply is limited and we've been called in to get them out. Alright everyone, Titans Go!" Robin ordered.

Fifteen minutes later the T-Car was parked in front of the construction site of the new mall on 21st. No sooner had they piled out of the car did a man in his thirties wearing a construction hat run over to greet them. Beast Boy noticed that the guy looked pale and close to fainting, which was probably a normal reaction.

"Thank you, Titans. I fear that conventional means would not reach my men in time. I am Mr. Grant and I am in charge of all construction to the new Jump City Mall." he said addressing Robin.

"Well we're here to help, and I'm sure we can get those men out no problem. I got a brief message, but could you fill us in on more details?" Robin asked.

Beast Boy tuned out while the man in charge explained things. He understood enough about the situation . . . men trapped in an underground building. After defeating the Brotherhood of Evil this would be a cake walk. He wondered instead what kind of stores were going into the new mall. He heard a rumor that a new game store was going in there.

"Are you even listening?" Raven hissed in his ear. Beast Boy jumped a little not expecting her to come up from behind him.

"Of course, Rae," was his automatic response.

"It's Raven not Rae. It's good that you listened . . . I guess then you heard Mr. Grant explain that there is a gas leak and what to do when we come across it then?" Beast Boy snuck a glace over at Raven to try and gauge her, but her hood was up hiding her face from view. He never had any idea what she was thinking with that damn hood up . . . not that he could figure out much with it down.

"Yeah, of course I heard about the gas leak Rae," he said with a smile.

"There is no gas leak you idiot. You need to be serious, Beast Boy. Quit calling me Rae. My name is Raven," she snapped.

Beast Boy was about to respond, but was interrupted by Robin. "Alright Titans let's move out and get these men."

They followed the man towards the unfinished building. From what Beast Boy could see of the above ground work they had not gotten very far. Mostly there was just a lot of concrete, steel wire, and scaffolding. Just before the entrance a table was set up with flashlights, yellow hardhats, and face masks.

"Would your team mind wearing these? Its policy and there is no Superheroes can opt out clause," the man in charge asked Robin.

"Oh what interesting clothing," Starfire said as she picked up the face mask and placed it on top of her head. It was a bit of humor in an otherwise serious situation. Beast Boy chuckled as did Cyborg. Robin merely smiled before fixing the mask onto Star's face.

"Star, it's a face mask to keep you from breathing dust in and stuff," their leader explained.

"But Robin, my lungs are capable of inhaling things must worse than dust. If humans need to protect themselves from the dust then why do we not clean at the tower? I do not wish for my friends to be damaged by the dust."

"I'll explain later Star. For now, team put these on," Robin ordered. Everyone but Raven began to put on the hardhats and face masks. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked like she was about to refuse but a glare from Robin make her change her mind. The hardhat looked cute against her purple hair . . . though the face mask did nothing for Raven Beast Boy thought.

They headed into the building passing people frantically moving about with hardhats on their heads. The man in charge brought them down a set of stairs to a lower level. This level of the building was more complete than above with walls and florescent light fixtures. They could see ahead that part of the floor had caved in and a dark gaping hope sat in its place.

"My men were on the floor below when this collapsed. That level has been destroyed completely just about. They are caught in a pocket of the rubble. I am afraid that I cannot pinpoint their location better than that," the guy in charge explained.

"My scanners are picking up their heat signatures. The building is still very unstable y'all . . . I'm picking up major structural damage," Cyborg explained as he looked at the screen on his arm.

"Okay, Cyborg you understand construction best. How do you suggest we proceed?" Robin asked.

"I have a basic understanding of their general location. I think that we need to get to them without disturbing the structure. Raven?" Cyborg said.

"Could my phasing shift the structure?" Cyborg frowned and looked intently at the screen on his arm considering her question.

"I don't think so," he eventually answered.

"Alright, Raven you will shift underneath them just in case. Beast Boy will go with you. Transport them back up here." Robin said.

Beast Boy was surprised he was being included, but he figured that Robin just probably did not want Raven going in alone. He moved closer to the dark sorceress as she said her magic words. Raven pulled him into her soul self and began shifting them down to the strapped men. Not long after that Raven deposited Beast Boy on the ground in an air pocket, but there were no construction workers to be seen. It was dark, but Beast Boy could see with his night vision. The pocket was small and they were surrounded by rubble and steel wires.

"Raven?" Beast Boy wondered why they did not end up in the correct location.

"We are next to them. We need to phase the rest of the way. My soul self might disturb the structure," she explained. She reached out and took his hand in hers. Beast Boy's heart instantly began thumping against his chest at the contact. Her hand felt so tinny in his.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos."

That's when Beast Boy heard it. A strange soft cracking sound that rapidly grew louder in sound. A second later the floor beneath their feet crumbled and both Titans began plummeting. Beast Boy instinctively shifted into an owl. As his better eye sight adjusted, he caught sight of Raven getting conked on the head by a large sheet of concrete. With a cry, Beast Boy dove for her falling form changing into a pterradactyl. His talons gripped her shoulders as he flapped furiously with his wings to slow their decent and avoid the falling chunks of stone. He flew them down and gently placed Raven onto a large slab of broken concrete.

Turning back into his human form, Beast Boy examined Raven with the flashlight on his belt. She was unconscious with her hardhat probably buried under the rubble they were resting on top of. She was breathing steadily, but her expression seemed pained. Red light flashed in their dark surroundings as someone was calling him on his Titan communicator. Beas Boy flipped it open to see Robin's stern and worried gaze.

"Beast Boy, what happened?"

"The ground collapsed. Raven got hit in the head pretty hard and now she's unconscious," Beast Boy explained. The screen suddenly cut in half and Cyborg's face appeared dividing the image space between him and Robin.

"Raven's hurt? BB take your communicator and slowly move it over the length of her body. I can do a basic scan to see if there is any damage. Is she floating in a healing trance?" Cyborg asked.

"No, she's just laying there." Beast Boy moved to do as Cyborg requested. "What about those construction workers? Raven and me didn't get a chance to get to them before the collapse."

"They reported on their walkie-talkie that they're okay. The collapse moved their space around, but no one got injured more than they are," Robin said.

"Okay, I scanned Raven. She seems to have a concussion. When she wakes up Beast Boy you need to keep her awake understand? Her ankle is also sprained. I wonder why she isn't healing herself," Cyborg mumbled.

"Are you okay Beast Boy?" Robin asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he said automatically. Beast Boy only really took stock on how he felt after confirming to Robin that he was okay. He had been too focused on Raven to think of anything else. He did not feel any pain on his body, so he assumed he was fine.

"Is there any way you can get yourself and Raven out?" Robin asked. Beast Boy looked around searching for a way out. It seemed the collapse had trapped them inside.

"No. I can't see an opening to where you guys are."

"Do you think you and Raven can sit tight for a little while? We need to get those men out of there. They are running out of oxygen. How big of a space are you guys in?" Robin asked.

"Uh . . . pretty big," Beast Boy said. He could see an air vent near Raven's unconscious form. "There is an air vent so I don't think we'll run out of oxygen. I'm okay to sit here for a bit as long as Raven is not in critical condition."

"No, she does not appear to have a severe concussion. When she wakes she'll probably be a little confused and have one hell-of-a headache," Cyborg said.

"So friend Raven is not in mortal danger?" Starfire asked somewhere off screen.

"No, I think she'll pull through this just fine," Cyborg said turning away from the communicator to explain something to Starfire who was confused as to why they would pull an injured Raven through anything.

"Okay, so we'll concentrate on freeing these men and then work to get you and Raven out. Hopefully, when she wakes she can just teleport the both of you out safely," Robin said.

"Alright," He was not crazy about the idea. Raven was hurt and it made him feel on edge. The Beast inside him was awake and not happy. He could feel him just under the surface wanting to take action to make her safe.

"We'll contact you as soon as we've got these guys out, Robin out," then the screen went dead.

Beast Boy moved carefully until he was sitting next to Raven. He reached out and gently touched her cheek with the tips of his gloves. He inhaled deep testing to air and the tangy metallic scent of metal told him that she was bleeding. A few more quick sniffs and he found the source. She had a nasty looking cut on her forearm. He peeled off his gloves to carefully rip what was left of the sleeve off with his claws.

"Sorry Rae . . . I need to get you to stop bleeding and I don't have any bandages," he said apologizing to her still form. She would probably find what he was about to do disgusting, but it would work. Transforming into a golden retriever Beast Boy gently began licking the wound until it was clean and the bleeding stopped. He knew that his saliva would start the healing process. He curled up still in dog form next to her side to give her warmth and him comfort.

To Be Continued . . .

That was the first chapter in These Moments. It is also the first chapter to My, What Big Claws You Have.

I hope everyone enjoyed this Beast Boy and Raven moment, and I encourage everyone to review. I welcome positive cirticism. It you do not like the couple or Raven and Beast Boy seperatly don't read it.

I am introducing several themes of the story within this first entry, but I will let it be a surprise what they are.

I decided to give Beast Boy claws as you noticed in the beggining of the chapter. He is always wearing those gloves and I thought it was an interesting concept.

Please be kind and Review!
