Beast Boy and Raven were on break from the Titans. Not for a romantic getaway, nor just some relaxation time around the tower, they were on their way to meet up with the Doom Patrol. Ever since they had started dating, Beast Boy had been warning her that they would have to do this eventually. Raven didn't particularly understand why, she had already met the Doom Patrol once before, and her opinion had been that they were a very flawed family to Beast Boy.

"Remind me again why I have to meet them again?"

"Well, last time didn't count since we were on a mission, and you weren't my girlfriend then either. Besides, that was only the founding members, you didn't get to meet everyone."

"Everyone?"

Beast Boy either didn't here her, or just didn't want to answer the question, and exclaimed "We're here!" instead.

They landed the T-Ship on top of the building, which had given way to a concealed helicopter roof. The building was located in Midway City, all the way in Michigan. A long flight from California hadn't done anything to calm Raven. Despite having a somewhat low opinion of most of the Doom Patrol, she couldn't help but feel anxious about not being accepted by them. They both got out of the T-Ship, but before going through the doors to start this meeting, Beast Boy turned to her.

"Raven, I seriously have to warn you. The Doom Patrol can be really weird. Like, no joke, you're probably going to be completely confused multiple times today."

"My friends are an alien princess, a cyborg, a vigilante dressed up as a traffic light, my boyfriend is green and turns into animals, and we regularly fight a fanboy with a remote control that warps reality, how weird can the Doom Patrol possibly be in comparison?"

"Remember Larry?"

She nodded.

"When I was with the Doom Patrol, we went on missions that made that look like an average bank robbery. We fought an off-shoot of the Brotherhood of Evil called the Brotherhood of Dada. Dada, as in, an art movement from 100 years ago. They sucked Paris into a painting, and one of their members' superpower was 'every superpower you haven't thought of yet'."

Raven merely stared, unable to think of the words to respond to this.

"Yeah, stuff like that is part of why I never really talked about my missions with them."

They entered the building, and made their way through the hallway. They came across one of the Doom Patrol members Raven had not met during the incident with the Brotherhood. She had long, black hair, and was dressed like she was from the 80s.

"Hey Jane, at least I think you're Jane right now, right?"

"Oh, Garfield, no I am Flit right now. Who is this?

"Her name is Raven, she's my girlfriend."

"I see, and Raven, is he treating you right?"

With a raised eyebrow, she answered "Yes, why wouldn't he be?"

"Oh, no reason, but if he isn't," and with that she seemed to transform in an instant. Her skin and hair turned blue, the 80s clothes were gone, eyes turned red, and claws came out of her knuckles, "I'll happily take care of him for you." She made a point of displaying her claws.

"Ok, thank you Annis, we'll leave you alone now." Beast Boy said as he dragged Raven off in a hurry.

After a decent distance had been made, Raven asked the obvious question. "What was that?"

"It's kind of hard to explain. Her usual name is Crazy Jane. She has 64 personalities, and all of them have their own superpower. Some of them are very violent, but she's still firmly on our side, don't worry."

"I see." Raven felt like she could relate to this Crazy Jane on some level. Having to get her own violent impulses under control was something she still struggled with. "Is that what the rest of the Doom Patrol is going to be like?"

"Well, not to make it into a contest, but she definitely got the worst of it compared to the rest of us. It's downhill from there, I guess."

With a nod, they continued on through Doom Patrol HQ. The next member was somebody Raven did recognize from their previous mission: Negative Man.

"Hey, Larry, ramember Ra-"

Negative Man cut him off. "Sorry Garfield, it's Rebis now."

"Did you get a name change or something?"

"Actually, I got merged with two other people. We're still trying to figure things out."

"We?" Raven asked.

"All of our consciousness' are still awake all at once, we're trying to sort through our memories and recognize what belongs to who."

"I might have some advice for that. My emotions have their own identity inside my mind, and meditation helps calm them down. It might help you with your own problem."

"I'll keep it in mind, not sure it'll actually work, but it won't hurt to try. Garfield?"

"Yes?"

"Only one of us in here knows who you are, and for what it's worth, he's glad you found her."

"Oh, thanks Lar- I mean, Rebis."

"Don't mention it, now you should get along and find Steve and Rita. They're the two you should be seeking out right now."

Alright then, talk to you later!"

Once again on the move, the two began to search for Mento and Elasti-girl. "Well, that was Negative Man alright."

"Beast Boy, you were right, this team is leaving me confused more often than not."

"I'd be worried if you weren't. I still get confused by them sometimes. I hope La-, I mean, Rebis figures themselves out soon."

"So you found out what happened to Larry then?"

They both turned to face the new voice. Standing before them now was Mento and Elastigirl. Beast Boy's adopted parents.

"Y-yes, sir." Raven didn't have to be an empath to tell that he was nervous. She could feel the emotions of Elastigirl as well. She could tell she was feeling a mix of happiness and apprehension. Mento was completely closed off from her.

"Let's leave the girls to talk, we're going to have our own private conversation." She could feel Beast Boy's nervousness go into overdrive at that statement.

"Yes sir." he replied. He gave a look at Raven with the hope that he'd be allowed to see her again after this was over, and left the room with Mento.

And here she was, alone with her boyfriend's adoptive mother.

"Alright," Elastigirl began, "I've spoken to Garfield enough since that mission to know he definitely loves you, but what are your intentions with him?"

Raven considered her answer for a moment. If she didn't sound genuine she might lose the support of Beast Boy's mom completely, or even make her hate her. After mulling it over, she finally had an answer.

"Please, understand that what I'm about to tell you should stay between us, and I happened on this by accident."

"Deal."

"Recently, I found an engagement ring he had hidden. Not very well, mind you, but it was hidden. I don't know when he plans to ask, or even if he bought it recently, but when he does, I plan on saying yes."

Elastigirl smiled at her, "I'm glad, Garfield isn't the type to do something this serious without thinking on it a lot. Please, take care of him for me."

"I've been doing that since before we even started dating."

The rest of the day consisted of meeting the rest of the Doom Patrol. Robotman really did remind her of a proto-Cyborg. There was Dorothy Spinner, who despite her appearance, was a genuinely nice girl. The only member she avoided was the Chief. A wheelchair-bound man, who she felt something sinister from. It was unsettling.

In the end, Raven felt that her opinion on the Doom Patrol has improved. They were flawed, but they undoubtedly cared for each other, especially Beast Boy. It would be nice to call Rita "mom", and thinking on it, it might be time she brought Beast Boy to Azarath to meet Arella
