Morning is just that morning, the beginning of a new day. This new day was already under way in Jump City, the everyday citizens of the city were either traveling to work or still asleep in their beds. This was also a typical day for the five superheros, who resided in a T shaped dower on a little island in the city's bay. The Titans, as they are known, went about their usual activities.

The first Titan to awaken for the day was Raven, as she walked into the common room toward the sink, she levitated her tea kettle out of the nearby cabinet for her morning tea. Once her kettle was filled and on the stove, Raven noticed someone was at the main computer. Slumped in front of the computer was Robin, 'Must have spent all night searching for any leads on Slade again,' she mused. Not wanting to disturb him Raven muffled the whistle of the kettle with her powers prepared her tea, floated up to the door, and gave Robin a tiny prick on his head just before the common room doors closed. Once Raven rounded the corner at the end of the hall leading to the roof, she could hear the common room doors open and close. Raven knew it was Robin going to use the bathroom, most likely, since it was in the opposite direction of the way Raven was heading. It wouldn't be long before the other titans would wake, so Raven decided to meditate on the roof hoping to avoid the eventual, breakfast feud.

As Robin exited the bathroom, steam rolling out of it after his shower, he meet Cyborg in the hall, "Morning Cy."

Cyborg wasn't surprised to see Robin awake this early in the morning. Normally Cyborg was awake before Robin however there were days he wasn't, "Morning Robin. I noticed you were still at the main computer last night before I went to bed, you didn't fall asleep their did yeah?" he asked giving Robin the sly Cyborg is up to something look.

Robin shook his head hoping that Cyborg wouldn't catch him in the lie, "Of course not Cyborg, I went to bed shortly after you."

Cyborg just gave Robin a thumbs up as he continued down the hall toward the common room, "Well I am glad to hear that Rob, because I am getting tired of drying out the keyboard from your drool."

Turning on his heal Robin shouted, "I don't drool in my sleep!" Getting into an argument would hopefully keep Cyborg from finding out he was lying.

Cyborg once again got his devious grin on, "Well that is not what I hear from Star."

Robin knew better then to give Cyborg an answer, if he denied it Cyborg would tease him to no end, but if he acknowledged it then he would be confessing to spending some nights sleeping next to Starfire in her bed. Robin decided he could put up with Cyborg teasing him for a few weeks, "I will be in the gym for my morning workout."

"No problem Robin, breakfast will be ready when you get done see yeah in a few," but before Robin could walk away Cyborg reached up to Robin's left shoulder as if to brush something off, "you got a little drool stain there Rob." Robin just looked up to Cyborg with a small frustrated frown, after which he removed his shirt and threw it into a nearby garbage chute marked, "Incinerator." Cyborg just shook his head trying very hard to not laugh in front of his leaders face. After Robin left the hall Cyborg could hear his stomach growl, 'Better get breakfast started before I starve.' Once Cyborg got to the fridge he pulled out his eggs, bacon, ham, sausage, and of course waffles since he knew Raven couldn't resist waffles. As he began cooking up his all meat experience, the smell of food slowly made its way out the door, down the hall toward the stairs, and into a certain green Titans room.

Beast Boy was lying on his top bunk as he always does with no bed sheets on him. Snoring away in his deep sleep it seemed nothing could wake him from it, but Beast Boy's senses were assaulted by this new smell that had just entered his room. Rolling onto his side with a groan he tried to put the smell of food out of his mind, but his stomach had a much different plan. Forcing himself out of bed Beast Boy knew he wouldn't be able to get anymore sleep if his stomach kept growling as it was, "It's Cy's turn to cook today, and I just know he hasn't made anything for me," he spoke aloud, "but I must defend my veggie honor." Walking toward the common room Beast Boy passed Raven's room, 'I wonder if she is already with everyone else at breakfast, maybe I should knock and find out.' Suddenly Beast Boy felt the immense pressure on his bladder, "After I take care of business!" he shouted more to himself then to anyone else that might have heard him.

The wind was only a slight breeze on top of the tower, the sun was just above the city's buildings off to the east shining brightly. All the while Raven floated above the roof meditating slowly repeating her mantra, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos...Azarath Metrion Zinthos..." Finishing her meditation, Raven floated back down onto the roof, taking in the beauty of the morning. Of all the places to meditate she enjoyed meditating on the roof more then anywhere else in the tower. Looking down at her finished tea cup, Raven headed back to the common room for some well deserved breakfast.

As always the common room was a buzz of activity. Cyborg and Robin were battling it out on Gamestation, while Beast Boy stood behind the couch waiting his turn. Sitting at the table was none other then Starfire feeding Silkie while he sat in his highchair. Raven entered the common room and took a moment to see what the others were doing. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary Raven set her empty cup in the sink, walked to the sofa to retrieve the book she left their last night and pick up where she left off. Yes it was a typical morning for all of the Jump City citizens, Titans included.

Beast Boy cheered on his best friend Cyborg to win in the racing game he was watching, also he wanted Cyborg to win so he could finally try the secret tunnel he found on one of the tracks. Beast Boy would finally win against Cyborg for sure, it would be a day to remember. He was brought out of his dreams of victory when he saw Raven sit down on the far end of the sofa. As she sat down, Beast Boy couldn't help but watch as her cape settled across the couch cushions, the way her hair swayed back as Raven leaned into the couch and start reading her book. Unfortunately for Beast Boy he could not also help but stare at Raven as well, he was just to mesmerized by her natural beauty.

Cyborg looked over his shoulder just long enough to see what Beast Boy was looking at. After he traced Beast Boy's line of vision, he reached behind his head as if to scratch it. Beast Boy felt a small tap on his chest and was brought out of his trance. At first he was slightly annoyed but when he figured out what he was doing, he silently thanked Cyborg for saving him from an embarrassing moment. As he stood in his place Beast Boy's mind began to wonder back to that day, the day he found out he had feelings for another person.

It was two months ago when the team fought against Adonis, he had tried to rob one of the many banks and almost succeeded, that was when the Titans showed up. It would have been an easy fight for the team if Adonis hadn't done what he did. Robin threw out three exploding disks toward Adonis to try and distract him as Starfire flew down from above with a huge starbolt ready to fire. But as the disks approached Adonis, the threw one of the money bags he was carrying at them knocking them into a building near Raven. Upon impact the disks exploded sending bits of brick and glass toward Raven. Raven formed a shield with her powers blocking the shrapnel like bits, however what Raven didn't notice right then was that, with part of the wall missing, the corner section of the building gave way above her. The first two pieces of the building bounced off of her shield, but the third piece that fell was so large it broke through her shield shattering into four smaller, but still heavy, pieces that landed right on top of her.

During all this Starfire had put the finishing blow to Adonis knocking him out cold. Once the dust settled three of the Titans began to check on the others for any injuries. They were stopped short by Beast Boy screaming out Raven's name, the other Titans looked to the changeling seeing him franticly lifting off the debris in his gorilla form desperately trying to get to Raven. It didn't take long before Beast Boy had found Raven alive but beaten up badly. Cyborg rushed the three of them in the T-car toward the tower, as Starfire and Robin took Adonis to the authorities. Inside the towers medical bay Raven was floating above one of the beds healing herself. Cyborg was off checking the monitors to make sure Raven didn't have any severe internal injuries. All the while Beast Boy was beside Raven's bed never leaving it for a second.

Cyborg finished double checking on Raven when he noticed the way Beast Boy was looking at her, it was a look of hope but also one of fear. Putting a hand on Beast Boy's shoulder, Cyborg tried to reassure his friend, "Don't worry BB she has some cuts and bruises, but she will be fine not to worry."

Beast Boy reached his hand on top of Cyborgs, never looking away from Raven's closed eyes, "I just," he stuttered, "thought I lost her again. I had that same feeling once before. Only this time I could see it happen right in front of me." He then looked up to Cyborg with tears in his eyes, "And their wasn't a stinking thing I could do about it," he said breaking down completely as the tears came rushing down his face.

Cyborg hadn't seen his friend in this bad of shape since Terra betrayed them to Slade. He lead Beast Boy outside of the medical bay so as not to disturb Raven, "Don't worry man, she will be fine. In a few hours she will be herself again," Cyborg brought a still crying Beast Boy into a hug. Normally he didn't do this but Beast Boy seemed to be even more troubled now, then he was when Terra betrayed them, "You will see."

"I love her you know."

To say he was shocked was an understatement, but Cyborg did his best not to spontaneously shutdown from what his friend had just told him. What could he say to him now that he knew what Beast Boy really thought of Raven. He didn't have long to think about it for Beast Boy brought him out of it.

As he continued to speak his tears poured out, "I have been in love with her for a very long time now Cy, probably since the first day we meet. I didn't know my feelings for her until we thought she died when Trigon arrived." Cyborg released Beast Boy looking down to his still crying friend. "I couldn't function," Beast Boy continued, "all I knew was that she was dead and I had nothing to live for. But then we found out their was still a chance she was alive. When Raven defeated Trigon I was so happy she was back with us, I had a reason to be alive again." Beast Boy finally had the strength to look up into Cyborg's face, "When I saw the rubble fall on her, I just couldn't take it I had to do something to help her. I couldn't just stand there and do nothing, I had to know she was ok. It wasn't until today did I finally know for sure I am in love with Raven."

Cyborg gave his friend a small friendly slap on his shoulder, "Raven is ok BB. In fact she will be even more then ok, when she knows what a good friend you are for her," he gave a reassuring smile to Beast Boy.

A smile returned to Beast Boy's face, "You think I have a chance Cy, do you think Raven might just feel the same about me?"

"Hey Raven may have to keep her emotions under strict control, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have them B," Cyborg put his hand back on Beast Boy's shoulder, "maybe you just have to wait a little while before she believes she can accept them." After he had his talk with Beast Boy, Cyborg made sure to let Beast Boy know he wouldn't say a word about what the changeling told him. Cyborg knew it was all up to Beast Boy from hear on out. So for the next two months Beast Boy tried once again to make Raven happy, he told his lame jokes that he knew she laughed at secretly. He tried to get her involved in all of the teams activities, and his quest to get her to smile and laugh was still on the top of his list. However for those last two months Beast Boy didn't see any change with Raven. She was still her mysterious sarcastic self, but Beast Boy wouldn't have it any other way with her. No she is perfect just the way she was and always has been.

Back in the common room the five Titans were still enjoying the perfect morning, but it was suddenly broken up by the alarm. Robin leaped off the couch to the main computer checking to see what villain was stupid enough to try cause some trouble. "Titans," Robin shouted, "Overload is attacking a computer store in the downtown district of the city. Lets take him down quick and easy." Everyone looked to their leader and each gave a nod of approval, "Titans, Go!"

The Titans arrived to the crime scene just as the last of the customers were fleeing the building. Robin screeched to a halt on his motorcycle leaping off of it to the ground in a fighting stance. Starfire flew in landing next to Robin, while Raven came in floating behind the two. Cyborg and Beast Boy arrived via the T-car, also coming to a screeching halt in front of the store.

Once the last two Titans got out of the car Robin gave one last briefing, "All right Titans, Overload is inside we need to get him a little wet behind the ears if we want to take him down with as little trouble as we can. Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven keep overload distracted. Starfire you and I will grab the buildings fire hose to give him a good soak." Robin began running ahead into the store shouting, "Titans, Go!"

Overload picked up one of the many computers, that were lining the shelf, getting ready to absorb it. Suddenly the computer was surrounded by a black aura and thrown to the far wall. Overload turned just in time to see Beast Boy spring forward toward the villain in cheetah form trying to draw his attention away. Meanwhile Cyborg was on a floating black disk firing his sonic cannon. Seeing that Overload had his attention fully on three of the Titans, Starfire and Robin had found the buildings fire hose. Robin was turning on the valve to the hose, while Starfire held it at the ready toward Overload.

When the water didn't come pouring out the hose Starfire looked at the nozzle questionably, "Is the pressure of high water not supposed to come out?"

Robin was just as surprised as Starfire, "Star something is wrong, go in and help the others!" Starfire dropped the hose and readied to shower starbolts onto the villain. Robin readied a handful of Bird-a-rangs and threw them to the ceiling sprinklers. When the sprinkler heads snapped off, no water came from them. Now getting extremely worried Robin called out to Raven, "Raven I need you to bring up the water main from underground, we need to douse Overload fast!"

Raven closed her eyes as she concentrated on one of the water pipes inside the walls, "Azarath Metrion Zinthos," as she searched the walls and floors she saw that the main water line to the building was melted shut. 'Overload must have melted them before he began his attack here, he is learning it seems,' she mused. Raven called out to the rest of the team, "The water main is melted shut, we can't do anything about it from in here!"

Overload looked towards Raven's direction and began to charge after her. Beast Boy was the first to reach Overload, changing into a gorilla hoping to knock him out of Raven's path. Overload saw the green Titan coming and sent an electric arc flying toward the Titan stopping him dead in his tracks. Cyborg was next hitting Overload with his sonic cannon after he stopped Beast Boy's attack. Cyborg had the villain pinned into the far wall facing the glass at the front of the building. Raven looked over to Beast Boy seeing he was starting to get up after the jolt he received. Seeing that he was doing better now Raven began to fly toward Cyborg, who was now fighting to get out of Overload's electric arm, slowly but surely Raven knew the villain was trying to squeeze the life out of her friend. Starfire flew high raining down starbolts on the villain, hoping it would release Cyborg. Being struck by so many starbolts caused Overload to drop Cyborg out of its grip, however Cyborg seemed to be out for the fight for he wasn't moving when he hit the ground.

With Overload stunned for the moment and Raven at the ready when it came too. Starfire flew down, picked up Cyborg and brought him out of harms way. When she set him down Starfire could see he was beginning to wake up again, "Friend I am glad to see you are ok! You are not damaged to badly I hope?"

Cyborg groaned but still managed to give Starfire a smile, "I am fine Star, now lets take this thing down!"

Beast Boy was back up and running toward the fight when he saw Robin come running up to him, "Beast Boy help Raven and Cyborg lure Overload outside, we will have to take him down out there," Beast Boy nodded and ran toward Raven, "Starfire I need your help follow me!" Starfire flew toward Robin as they headed out to the street.

Raven was trying to keep Overload pinned down in a shield, hoping Beast Boy or Cyborg would arrive to help her out. Ravens hope was proven to be right when she saw Cyborg standing next to her reading his sonic cannon. Raven let hear shield down, then tried to bind the villain with her powers. Cyborg opened up with his cannon further distracting Overload. However Raven and Cyborg's attention was drawn when Beast Boy began shouting out to them.

"Guys we need to-" but he never finished because he was struck by a long sweeping electric arm, knocking him into the side wall.

Cyborg felt himself being wrapped up again, then tossed into the other side wall. Cyborg crashed through the wall and into the adjacent building.

Raven gasped when she saw Beast Boy hit the wall with a loud thud, then she heard Cyborg crash into something. Raven didn't even have a chance to react when Overload grabbed onto her, throwing her through the glass window and out on the street. Overload walked out next to Raven about to grab her again and throw her a good long way, when it saw the electric transformer behind the Titan, "Overload will finish you off for good now!"

Beast Boy opened his eyes, seeing he was still in the store alone could only mean that the rest of the team was outside. What he saw in the street terrified him, Raven was lying on the ground unmoving, and Overload was reaching back with its arm to strike at her again. That is when he saw what was behind Raven. Beast Boy's eyes went wide, he knew what was about to happen. And he knew he had to do something, anything to keep Raven from danger.

Slowly she opened her eyes groaning with pain Raven could see she was outside on the road. It was then she saw Overload towering over her bringing its arm down for one final strike. Raven couldn't do anything she was to scared to dodge the blow, all she could do was lie on the pavement and watch Overload bring its arm toward her. Raven felt the blow but she didn't fly backwards, instead she was knocked off to her right just a few feet away from where she was. Raven didn't have time to figure out what had just happened, for when she looked to where she just was Overload hit something and that something was green.

Beast Boy had pushed Raven away from Overload's attack just in time. If he hadn't changed into his cheetah form, he would never had made it in time to save Raven, 'At least I know she will be ok,' was the last thought to go through his mind when he hit the transformer.

"Beast Boy!" Raven screamed. Overload then turned his attention back on to her, when suddenly he was hit with a jet of water. Raven didn't bother to see where the water was coming from, all that mattered to her right now was to save Beast Boy. Once Raven looked to the changeling she surrounded him with her powers, cutting him off from the electrical current. Setting him down on the ground Raven ran up to Beast Boy's now unconscious human form.

When Cyborg made his way out of the rubble he was sent through, he saw Beast Boy being electrocuted and Raven shouting his name. He ran as fast as he could toward Raven as she saved Beast Boy from the electricity, looking to his left briefly he could see Robing with a car hood helping Starfire hold it against a fire hydrant and directing the flow of water toward Overload. Now standing next to Raven Cyborg could see she was trying to heal Beast Boy with her powers, but it did not seem to be working. Cyborg kneeled down next to Beast Boy checking his vitals. Beast Boy wasn't breathing and his heart had stopped, not thinking twice Cyborg began to perform CPR.

Standing up now Raven watched as Cyborg tried to resuscitate the changeling. Five minutes had gone by with no reaction at all from Beast Boy. As she continued to watch Cyborg try to save her green friend one thought was going through her mind, 'Why did he do it, why did he save me, what is so special about me?' Raven was brought out of her questions at the sound of Beast Boy gasping for breath. Raven slowly kneeled down again next to her two friends, "Is he going to be ok Cyborg?" she asked with a very worried tone.

Cyborg checked Beast Boy's vitals once again with his sensors, "He is still unconscious Raven, but I believe he will be ok for now. We need to get him to the tower for a full check up." As he looked into Raven's eyes he could see she relaxed a bit at what he said. Looking over his shoulder he could see Robin and Starfire running up to them, "He will be fine," Cyborg called out to Robin already knowing what he was going to ask, "we need to get him to the tower just to be safe though."

Robin gave a big sigh of relief at Cyborg's news, "All right then, get him back to the tower pronto. Starfire and I will take Overload to the police."

Starfire was crying with all of her might when she saw Beast Boy still lying down on the ground, "Oh Cyborg are you sure friend Beast Boy will be ok?" she asked still crying.

Robin gave Starfire a reassuring hug, "Yes Star he will be all right, Beast Boy is in good hands."

Cyborg lifted Beast Boy off the ground and began to walk toward the T-car when suddenly Raven stopped him, "I will take him back to the tower." Raven didn't give Cyborg a chance to argue with her for she formed her soul self to teleport the three back to the tower. Before heading out on his motorcycle, Robin put the T-car on auto-pilot back to the tower.

Inside the Titans Tower medical bay, Cyborg was checking some monitors showing Beast Boy's brainwave activity. Satisfied his green skinned friend is in the clear, Cyborg walked up to bed Beast Boy is lying in still unconscious. Once Raven used her teleportation, to bring the three of them here, she never once left Beast Boy's bedside. She was still perplexed with the same questions she had earlier when Beast Boy was brought back by Cyborg. It bothered her not knowing why Beast Boy would do such a selfless thing, sacrificing himself to save her, it just wasn't like him to do that.

The medical bay doors opened revealing Robin and Starfire. Cyborg saw them walk to the only occupied bed, but before they got there he ushered them both outside the room. Once outside in the hall Cyborg let then know Beast Boy would perfectly ok once he woke up. The changeling maybe a little sore for a few days but nothing serious. Starfire smiled now that she knew Beast Boy would be himself soon once again. Back at the computer store she thought she lost a friend forever.

Robin looked to the door once more, "How is Raven doing?"

"She seems to be taking this pretty good," Cyborg answered, "I am sure she was just as worried as the rest of us."

Robin wasn't convinced, "Are you sure Cyborg, because I have never seen her this concerned before and Beast Boy of all people."

Of all the Titans Robin was the one person who knew Raven the best, but Cyborg was sure she was just worried about Beast Boy's well being as they all were, "Yes Robin, I am sure."

Accepting it for now, but still not entirely convinced, Robin gave Cyborg a nod of approval, "Be sure to let me know when he wakes up, I don't want him out on anymore missions unless he feels he is up to it."

"You got it Robin," Cyborg answered with his own nod, "I think it might be best just to let him rest for now."

Starfire looked to the door with concern written on her face, "What of friend Raven, should she not also leave so as not to disturb friend Beast Boy?"

Cyborg was about to answer Starfire when Robin beat him to it, "Cyborg will let her know Star not to worry. Why don't you go check on Silkie I bet he is still hungry." With that Starfire walked toward the elevator with Robin in tow. After the two left Cyborg turned on his heal, heading back for the medical bay.

After the three Titans left the room, Raven just stayed focused on Beast Boy waiting for him to wake up. She heard the door open once again, by the sound of their feet Raven could make a pretty guess as to who it was, "So Beast Boy checks out ok?" she asked Cyborg.

Cyborg walked up to the bed again standing next to Raven, "Yeah he will be just fine once he wakes up. Robin doesn't want him on anymore missions until BB feels up to it again." When Raven didn't say anything further Cyborg looked to her searching for some sort of hint as to what she was feeling at the moment. As usual her face was completely neutral, "We should leave so Beast Boy can get his rest." he said to Raven motioning to the door.

"I will be right here."

If it had been anyone but Raven, Cyborg wouldn't think twice about it. But this was Raven, what ever was going through her head at this moment obviously bothered her enough to not leave Beast Boy's side this was something serious, "Raven are you sure you are ok? I can stay if you like, you don't have to be here."

Raven finally looked up to Cyborg, "I am sure." Not wanting to argue with Raven, Cyborg just nodded to her and left the medical bay.

About an hour later Beast Boy fluttered his eyes open, he had one splitting headache. As he looked around the room he was in he had a little trouble remembering exactly what had happened. As Beast Boy tried to concentrate, his gaze landed on the person sitting next to his bed. He was taken back just a little bit at seeing Raven sitting next to him. After his initial shock left him Beast Boy finally found his voice, "Hey Raven, how long have I been out?"

Raven looked to Beast Boy with her still neutral face, "Not long an hour at the most."

Beast Boy gave Raven a smile hoping to lighten the mood, "Not much of a nap huh?"

Raven just rolled her eyes, so like Beast Boy to bring humor at the most inopportune time. Beast Boy then sat up in the bed stretching his arms. He was about to get up out of the bed when Raven spoke again, "Why did you do it?"

Beast Boy paused for a second realizing what Raven was asking, he suddenly got very nervous, "I just had to Raven."

"But why, you could have been killed."

Beast Boy just stared down at his hands, "I was concerned for your safety, I guess I acted without thinking."

Raven knew he was hiding something, but she also knew this wasn't the time or place to try and force him to talk about something he didn't want to. Raven stood up from her chair, "Beast Boy if you have anything you need to talk to me about, I just want you to know my door is open." She began to make her way to the door when Beast Boy's voice stopped her.

"Raven I," he began, "I just wanted to say..."

Looking over her shoulder at the changeling, "Yes Beast Boy?"

He thought about telling her everything, how she always made him feel when he saw her in the morning. How he thought just how pretty she was when she was reading one of her books. But he just couldn't do it, "Thank you for making sure I was ok."

"It was no problem," she began once again toward the door when she suddenly remembered, "Robin says you are off duty until you feel up to going back out. I will see you later Beast Boy." Just as she walked up to the door Cyborg passed her walking into the medical bay.

From the look on Raven and Beast Boy's face nothing bad had happened to either of them, and yet nothing wonderful either. Cyborg walked to the chair Raven was just in and sat down, "So BB, did yeah tell her?"

Beast Boy just shook his head, "I wanted to so bad Cy, but I just couldn't."

Cyborg gave his green friend a slap to the shoulder, "Don't worry man, I am sure you will find a way somehow, just don't give up hope."

Beast Boy wanted to believe Cyborg's words he really did want to. But how could Raven ever love him in return? Maybe she really couldn't feel love, maybe she really was unable to feel any emotions. No Cyborg was right, he couldn't give up hope not right now, not ever.

Author Note: This is my very first fan fic submission, so please any suggestions to help improve my writing would be much appreciated. I am sorry if the characters are a bit OOC, Raven probably the most. However I did not give her much lines in this chapter so that could be why. If the characters are to much OOC I would love to hear from you people about keeping them in character.
