Beastboy awoke the next morning from another dream about Raven. One he'd rather not mention. He waited a bit before hopping out of bed and into the shower. A few minutes later he was in the fridge making himself breakfast. Robin walked in holding a stack of papers. "Hey Beastboy." he greeted, setting up shop by the computer. "Whats up, dude, what's with all the paperwork?" Beastboy motioned at the mountain.

"Well, we haven't dealt with anything very serious in a while, just a few kidnappings and bank robberies here and there-"

"Not that I'm complaining." the changeling interrupted.

Robin went on as if his green friend had said nothing, "so I decided to finish some ongoing research and investigations."

Beastboy nodded halfheartedly. Research was hardly his forte. "Anything interesting?" he asked. His leader shrugged "Not really, some of these are really old, not all of it's ours. Some I got from Batman or the Justice League." Beastboy's ears perked up at the mention of Batman. "Dude, when are we gonna get to meet him? It's so unfair you've basically known him your whole life, he's like your dad, not to mention my all time hero and a legend, yet your best friends don't get to meet him? Come on!"

Robin shook his head, "Believe me, I'm doing you guys a favor. Besides you've met him."

"Over a computer screen discussing villains in the city does NOT count, dude."

Before Robin could reply, Cyborg and Starfire walked in, the latter greeted her friends with a hug and for Robin, a kiss on the cheek as the half robot flopped down on the couch. "Good morning my friends! What are we to be enjoying for the breakfast?" Beastboy served her up some pancakes and she looked at them incriminatingly.

"Tell me friend Beastboy, are these made of the tofu?"

He laughed and wiggled his eyebrows "Why don't you eat them and find out?" he teased. Starfire pushed the plate back to him. "I'd rather not, not one of my nine stomaches likes your tofu."

At that Cyborg broke into hysterical laughter, pointing at his best friend. "Oh Star that was good, Oh god, Oh Lord, take the wheel!" he fell backwards and kicked his feet up in the air. Beastboy, tired with these shenanigans, picked up a plate of pancakes covered in syrup, and snuck up on his mechanical teammate. Before Beastboy could dump the plate on Cyborg's face, the Titan alarm went off.

"Let's go!" Robin yelled as they all simultaneously jumped into action.

They arrived at the city jail not too long after. "Why are we at the prison?" Cyborg inquired scanning the area for a threat. "Someone broke in and is trying to kidnap a prisoner." Robin yelled over his shoulder running towards the building at full speed. The other titans followed, but not before giving each other a confused look. "Why would anyone kidnap a prisoner?" Raven asked as they pushed past guards who were trying to calm the men in their cells.

The heroes rounded a corner and stopped short.

Three masked women were fighting off oncoming guards as two more masked women were attempting to gag and tie up a middle aged man in an orange jump suit. The man was fighting with all his strength and throwing swear words at his attackers. They were dressed in long cloaks that resembled dresses with masks covering their eyes, fabric drawn across their nose and mouth,a hood covering their hair, and thick gloves. All in all, you could not see an inch of skin on the women.

"You can ask them yourself." Robin invited

"Titans, GO!"

Immediately, the five masked kidnappers turned their attention to the new arrivals. The women who had been fighting knocked out the last two guards effortlessly and pulled out weapons. One woman swooped in on Starfire and Beastboy, pulling long swords out of sheaths attached to her hips. The changeling morphed into a ram and the alien's eyes glowed green.

The second woman turned on Robin, pulling out an impressive sonic- looking gun from her hip. Not sure what effect the gun would have, Robin whipped out his bo-staff, ready to deflect.

The third woman narrowed her eyes and leapt at Cyborg as she threw what seemed to be some kind of explosive ball at Raven. While the friends battled, the other two women had managed to wrangle their prey. He was bound so tightly he could not move. One woman threw him over her shoulder as if he weighed nothing while the other joined the battle.

Robin looked up after narrowly missing what he had concluded was some sort of acid projectile, from the way it was eroding every surface it landed on. This woman had impeccable aim, he admitted to himself. After dodging the next projectile aimed at his head, Robin noticed out of the corner of his eye a moving figure. The woman was carrying the prisoner out of the ward. His teeth ground together, but before he could make a move, another projectile whizzed at him.

This one, however, was not a bullet. The new woman standing in front of him took a defensive stance not unlike his own. She aimed a punch for his head, followed by her foot sweeping at his feet and another punch at his gut, all of which he blocked. The last punch grazed his side and he punched back full force. The woman was expecting this and blocked it, twisting his arm to the side long enough for her to kick him in the stomach. Robin flew backwards and almost knocked into Starfire, who was dodging a sword attempting to slice her throat.

It didn't take long for her and Beastboy to find out this woman possessed small knives as well, which were now being launched at Beastboy. The green skinned man had already taken a knife to the arm, a wound he wouldn't have been given if he had not been trying to prevent the villain from slicing into Starfire's exposed stomach. He had turned into a monkey and knocked Starfire out of the way, which is why she was now hurdling into Robin out of the air where she had been flying not seconds before. Starfire was back on her feet and sending starbolts at the woman who was now mercilessly attacking a green armadillo, who was trying to get a good look at the sorceress fighting not too far away.

Raven was trying to help Cyborg, who was fighting hand-to-hand with this woman, while avoiding the explosives she somehow kept flying at her, knocking her back a few meters every time she got near, and take out the weapon that was being used against Robin all at once.

The explosions coming for her contained some sort of gas that was starting to make Raven feel woozy. The empath figured there must be some kind of hallucinogenic inside them. She was starting to sway where she hovered in the air. Robin yelled at her, but she could not make out the words. Beastboy was there in a second hollering at Robin to help Star.

Before her body could hit cement, he caught her in his arms. He raced off and placed her gently in a corner where she wouldn't be harmed.

"Are you gonna be okay Rae?" he asked stroking her face tenderly.

"M-Fine. I-Be Alright. J-Go."

He nodded and ran back to help his friends, however, as he turned around, he found they vilenesses were retreating. "Starfire with me, follow them! Don't let them get away" he pointed and the girl took off after them, "Beastboy, Cyborg, take Raven and go. Beastboy I want you back with me as soon as you get her safely into the tower." The young men nodded at their leader's orders and took off. Beastboy scooped Raven up and turned into a pterodactyl. Cyborg hopped into the T-car and raced after his green friend.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Back in Titans Tower, Beastboy lay Raven gingerly on the infirmary bed. She was awake, and her body was already healing itself, but Cyborg wanted to run some tests to see exactly what had effected Raven. Per his leader's orders, Beastboy picked up his communicator indenting to call Robin and ask his location, but before he could place the call, Robin was calling him, voice twisted in aggravation. "Don't bother. We lost them. Full on disappeared. We'll be back soon." Robin ended the call. Beastboy stuffed the communicator back into his pocket and couldn't help feeling relieved. Not because he wanted the criminals to get away, but now he didn't have to leave Raven. He turned back towards her and she spoke "They got away?" she asked in her deadpan. He plopped down in the seat next to her.

"Yup. Robin's not too happy."

"Obviously. He hates to lose."

Beastboy chuckled. "You can say that again."

Cyborg walked over and applied some antiseptic to Beastboy's arm that made him wince. He then applied some gauze and wrapped it with tape. "There ya go green bean. Should be healed up in a day or two." Beastboy thanked his friend and inspected his new bandaging.

Raven turned her head towards Cyborg. "Any results?"

"It seems to be some sort of poisonous hallucinogenic. Like some souped up rat poison."

Raven groaned. "Great. Just what I needed." She sighed. "Am I good to go?" Cyborg nodded "Yeah just let me get a blood sample so I can run some more test and we'll be all good here." Raven looked away as Cyborg began to draw blood from her arm, opting to look at Beastboy. She hated getting her blood taken.

"Got any stupid jokes for me, funny boy?"

Beastboy grinned "Anything for you." He cleared his throat. "What did the fisherman say to the card magician?"

She sighed deeply, already regretting this choice. "What did he say?"

"Pick a cod, any cod!"

Beastboy's punchline was met with an unfazed stare from Raven and a snort from Cyborg. "C'mon! It wasn't that bad!" he insisted.

"It was pretty bad." Raven said

"On a scale of 1-10, that was a negative 12." his best friend offered.

"You guys suck. My humor is amazing and unique."

"Man, your humor wouldn't have a chance in hell of being amazing."

"HARSH DUDE!"

"But true. Alright Raven, we're done."

Raven sighed in relief and rubbed her forearm. She looked down at the skin. "Why is there a Hello Kitty bandaid on my arm?" Beastboy snorted attempting to hold back laughter. Cyborg's smile covered his face. "Because you had a boo-boo." Raven glared at him and rubbed her sore arm. Beastboy was tearing up at the suppressed laughter.

"Come on Rae, I'll bring you back to your room."

Raven was swaying a bit as she walked. Even though her body had cleared out most of the poison, she was still feeling its after effects. Beastboy gripped her arm making sure se wouldn't fall. "How do you feel?" he asked.

"Better, just a little dizzy. Nothing I can't handle."

"Well, I know that."

"Thanks for the help though. Its nice of you."

"Don't worry about it."

They approached her room and Raven opened the door and leaned against the frame. He leaned on the opposite side from her and smiled.

"Hows your arm?" he asked reaching out to stroke the bandaid with his thumb.

She looked down to where his hand grasped her elbow. "It's fine. Probably all healed by now. The bandaid is stupid." He laughed. "Want me to take it off?" She looked up at him "Alright, but go fast, its so much more painful when its to slow."

She immediately regretted her choice of wording when Beastboy let out a bout of laughter. She glared at him and he resumed his task, still smiling.

He gripped her arm firmly. "I think I know what I'm doing, Rae." She rolled her eyes but didn't comment. His thumb and pointer finger gripped the end of the bandaid. "Ready?" She closed her eyes. "Just get it over with." In one fluid motion, Beastboy ripped the bandaid from Raven's flesh. She let out a little yelp and her free hand came down to rub the pinkish skin. "Did I hurt you too bad?" he asked stepping forward to look down at her arm. She looked up at him once again. "No. No, I'm fine."

"Good. I wouldn't want to hurt your pretty skin."

She blushed. "Stop it, Gar."

He looked at her "Why?"

She looked down. "It makes me uncomfortable." she answered.

"Why?" he asked again, his eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

Her blush deepened. "Because it makes me wonder if you think I'm pretty or something."

Beastboy looked at her, an almost incredulous look plastered on face. "But you are pretty, Rae. You're beautiful. I don't think that I know that."

Raven couldn't look him in the eye. "See, it's these kinds of things that are confusing." She wanted to wrench her arm from his grip, but a bigger part of her wanted to be entwined in his arms. "You're teasing me."

"Why would I tease you Rae?"

"You always tease me, what else could this be?"

"Maybe I genuinely think you're pretty and I like you."

"Like me?" Her eyes snapped to meet his.

"Well duh. Aren't you supposed to be the smart one, Rae? I've only been dropping hints for like, ever."

She couldn't speak, she couldn't even breathe. His eyes landed on her mouth and she swore her heart had stopped beating. She must be dead. She must have died at the prison. But she was a demon, so if she had died, she defiantly wouldn't have been able to get into heaven.

Beastboy leaned in "Can I?" he almost begged staring at her mouth.

She bit her lip thinking it over. It wasn't like she'd never been kissed before, there had been one or two gothic guys she had met who had seemed appealing enough to kiss. But not as appealing as Beastboy. Defiantly not as appealing as Beastboy, Raven confirmed,her gaze gliding over his muscular arms and toned stomach that were put on display in his too-small uniform. She bit her lip. Controlling her emotions around Beastboy was one of the hardest things she'd ever done.

"I don't know if I'm ready yet Beastboy."

He drew back, still not taking his eyes off her lips. "I completely understand. Take your time." she shifted uncomfortably noticing how he was still staring at her mouth and she resisted the growing urge to leap into his arms, run her fingers through his shaggy green hair and press her lips to his. This proved harder than she thought. Where were all these crazy emotions coming from? "Gar, I don't know how long it'll take until I am ready. You know how hard it is for me to control my emotions and they tend to run wild around you and that's not always good." he finally look at her eyes.

"I know Raven. Trust me I know. I could wait forever for you. So don't worry. I want you to be ready and feel comfortable around me."

She gave him a rare smile. "Thanks Gar. I appreciate it."

He smiled back and replied in a joking tone, trying to make her feel better "I hope it's not too long though 'cuz just feel how crazy your making my heart." He took her hand in his and pressed it against his chest. Technically, there was no need for her to touch him. She could feel his heart and emotions just standing next to him but she enjoyed the feel of his chest under her palm. His heart thumped twice as fast as usual underneath his suit. She giggled "Please, your heart has the same reaction when you see a nice car." He laughed, "Not true!" She smiled back.

They spent the night together, whispering, exchanging jokes and stories. And the next night they did the same thing. And the night after that. Beastboy spent the next two weeks worth of nights in Raven's room just talking. Raven even read him some pages out of her favorite book. He loaned her his favorite comics. They exchanged music. He loved spending time with her. She loved how he didn't push her, but every once in awhile she would catch him staring at her mouth and she would blush. She could feel the want and attraction rolling off him and it made her want him as well. She wanted desperately to show him how he made her feel but every time she came close something would make her pull away and she would be left feeling more distressed than ever.
