And before Robin knew it the two girls had flew down the hallway in a flash.

"I don't know why," Robin whispered to himself. "But I feel like I'm missing something."

Chapter 13 'Mind Over Matter'

"Friend Raven," Starfire began, "the uniform you are wearing has not turned the white because you have not been meditating, correct?"

"I…it's my emotions Starfire," Raven responded deciding not to lie to her alien friend. "Actually they're all at peace right now. I wasn't aware this was going to happen so suddenly though. I figured I'd have more time to hide this from…" Raven drifted off unaware if she should really tell her friend she was trying to hide her new relationship from the team's leader.

"From whom are you trying to hide your happiness friend?" Starfire asked when the violet haired girl ceased to speak. Starfire stared at her for what felt like forever as they walked down the long hallway of Titans tower.

Raven let out a long exasperated sigh. "Look, I know how close you and Robin are." Starfire opened her mouth to respond but Raven quickly held up her hand as to say she wasn't finished. "You don't have to lie to me Star, I'm an empath…I can feel these things. Anyway, I'm glad you guys are so close but if you could…please don't mention anything to him about Beast Boy and I."

"But why not? I'm sure Robin would want to know about this joyous happening!" Starfire exclaimed.

Raven cringed at how loud the Tameranian's voice had gotten and quickly opened the door to her room that they had finally reached. She ushered her friend in quickly so no one would be able to hear the rest of her conversation. "I'm…sure," Raven said in her monotone. "But I just need to make sure my powers are under control before he knows. You know how Robin is with teammates dating each other."

Starfire's face quickly twisted into a sad expressed and she looked down to avoid eye contact with the half-demon.

"I'm sorry Starfire I didn't mean to…"

"No, you are correct friend," she began slowly. "I shall not tell Robin about you and friend Beast Boy's relationship. I swear on X'hal."

Raven gave her friend a small smile as she made her way to her closet.

"Friend Raven what are you-."

"I need to change. There's no way I'm going to keep up this charade with Robin when I'm dressed like this." She swiftly pulled out a dark blue cloak and black leotard from her collection of many others before turning back to Starfire who was looking at her with a slightly disapproving expression. "What?" Raven asked monotonically.

"Perhaps you should allow friend Beast Boy to see the…change that has come over you," Starfire answered trying to be careful with her wording.

"Why would I-."

"It is just that, he might enjoy knowing that he has helped you in such a way that your emotions have become so content. After all this has not happened since Trigon and…" Starfire trailed off as she realized the sore subject she had referred to.

Raven shrugged her shoulders slightly, trying to seem indifferent about the issue. "I understand what you're trying to say Starfire but oddly enough I think Beast Boy will understand. I know we've had quite a few differences in the past but in the last week he's…changed."

"I had not noticed this in friend Beast Boy, please what change has he suddenly undergone?" Starfire asked.

"I don't mean a physical change," Raven stated. "More like…he actually…understands me." The dark girl chuckled lightly which caused her friend to take a cautious step back, Raven and any type of laughter did not compute no matter how minuscule the actual laughing was.

"Friend Raven are you…alright?"

"I'm fine Starfire, it's just so ridiculous to even think about. I mean last week this conversation would have been bizarre to even think about. Beast Boy actually understanding me, it's still a little shocking even now," Raven admitted.

Starfire pondered this thought for a few moments before answering her friend. "Perhaps it is as if a spell of some sort has been cast upon him?"

"Yeah, almost exactly like that," Raven agreed walking over to her bed and laying out her clothes to change into on top of her sheets. Suddenly the she froze and ever so slowly turned back around to look at the alien princess with wide eyes that displayed an immense amount of shock on the dark girl's face that Starfire had never witnessed before.

"Friend…Raven?"

"Hey BB, you're alive!" Cyborg joked as the changeling walked into the common room.

"Did you really think my girlfriend would kill me Cy?" Beast Boy asked using the term 'girlfriend' proudly.

Cyborg shrugged. "Seeing how your girlfriend is Raven, that's entirely possible."

"Ha, ha, you're hilarious," Beast Boy mocked.

"Seriously B, it's not like she ever gives a 'get out of wrath free card'. What do you expect me to think when she drags you out of the room after having that 'kill' look in her eyes? Don't get me wrong," Cyborg continued, "I didn't think she was really going to kill you…I just figured she'd throw you off the roof or something but you managed to get out unscathed. Seriously man, what'd she do?"

Beast Boy's smile seemed to take over his entire face as he looked at his friend trying not to laugh. "Dude, she granted me access to her room!"

Cyborg looked at his friend in complete shock. "Uh hang on a second B, I think I need to reprogram my sound because it sounded like you said Raven is allowing you to come into her room now."

"That's exactly what I said Cy!" Beast Boy answered looking mighty proud of himself.

"That's such a bad idea. Is she not aware of all the trouble you could get into in there? Do you not remember the mirror incident?" Cyborg asked his friend as he gripped his shoulders to look him in the eyes.

"She trusts me Cy," Beast Boy answered shrugging. "This is her way of proving it to me. She gets that I understand her now. Life has never been better!" He exclaimed as he tossed himself back onto the main room couch.

"You are aware the only reason that you understand her is because you can read her mind right?" Cyborg asked arching an eyebrow at his friend.

Beast Boy rolled his eyes at his friend as he waved his hand dismissively. "Yeah, but I got away with that. It's over with and she trusts me now." He grinned up at his friend hoping the cybertronic teen would relax a bit.

"You're never going to tell her about this are you?" Cyborg asked wearily.

"I'd like to Cy, but I wouldn't be myself if i didn't put this off," Beast Boy admitted.

"Don't you think this is something that you really shouldn't put off? if Raven finds out about it..." Cyborg began.

"Dude, how's she gonna find out?" Beast Boy asked. "This whole mind reading thingy will prolly go away soon anyway and after that...well it's not like I'm gonna admit to her that all this happened."

"He would never admit to it," Raven practically hissed as she inspected the tiny vile in her hands.

"Friend Raven is everything…alright?" Starfire asked cautiously tiptoeing up to her dark friend.

Raven looked up at her friend with an annoyed glance, Starfire knew better than to think that the glare was meant for her. Raven was currently on a mission to find out why Beast Boy was acting so…un-Beast-Boy-like and apparently she had just stumbled across something she deemed worthy of this reasoning.

"Starfire, do you remember how to make that glowing food you let Beast Boy try the other day?" Raven asked quickly.

"You mean the food that was directed by friend Cyborg to be thrown away?" She asked.

"Yeah, that food. Do you think you could make another batch of it?" Raven asked quickly keeping her monotone steady.

Starfire looked at her friend confused before replying. "Of course friend Raven but…I do not understand why you would wish me to do so. You made it very clear that I should not have used your potion as the coloring item of food."

Raven let out a frustrated sigh. "I know I said that before, but I need your help. I need you to completely disregard what I said before and make it exactly how you made it before, please."

Starfire's eyes seemed to light up at this comment. "Do you wish to try it friend Raven?" The Tameranian asked eagerly.

"No," Raven answered slowly as her lips curved upward into a smirk. "But Robin does."

TADAAAA! I know, kinda short but I figured the end of this chapter might make up for it. At least I hope it does. And the next one should be pretty good for what I have in mind. But I'll need your feedback in order for me to update so go down there and press that purple button! Please?

On another note, I stated in my previous chapter that I have made a trailer on youtube for one of my other stories. Well, I have now uploaded one for this story! Just in case you're interested. And if you are the link to my youtube channel is in my profile. If you check it out, I do hope you enjoy! :)
