Surprises....

The next few days passed by in a blur. The titans had been called out almost every night. Raven finally accompanied them on some of the runs. In the spare time, she and the others tried their best to research Zurl. He wasn't exactly the best subject to get any information on though.

After being called out again, the Titans returned home, sore and tired. It wasn't a hard battle. But it added to all the others. Exhausted, they filed into the common room. They all fell onto the couch as one. Beast Boy immediately fell asleep, cuddling Cy's arm. Cy looked down at the green man, placed his hand on his head, and shoved him off. He stood and stretched.

"I'm going to bed Y'all." Grunts and groans answered him back.

Starfire mumbled out something that sounded like 'Good Night' before floating out of the room. Raven and Robin sat on the couch. Beast Boy snored form the other side. Raven rose from the couch and started for the hallway, Robin did the same. As they came to the fork in the hallway, Robin turned to her. She looked at him as he leaned down and laid a light kiss on her forehead. Her eyes widened slightly and he smiled.

"Night Raven."
"Goodnight Robin."

With that they turned away from each other, and went to their rooms. Robin closed his door, walked to his bed, and fell on it. Raven closed her door, walked to her bed, and crawled into it. Both laid there. Sore, bruised and tired. Hours seemed to pass, but sleep wouldn't grace them. Raven got out of bed slowly and went to her closet. Lazily she changed into P.J's, sliding her robe on over it, and phazed through her door, not wanting to wake the others. Robin did the same, but went to his desk, looking through the a few newspapers.

Raven walked through the tower quietly, thinking over the last few days, the last few years. Doubt about the 'Zurl situation'. A mixture of emotions about Robin. Without much thought, Raven entered the elevator and pressed the button for the garage. In minutes, the doors opened and she stepped out. She had always found some peace here, why, she never knew really. Maybe it had something to do with helping Cy rebuild the T-Car. She found focusing on building had almost been like meditating. She walked around the garage slowly. Her gaze moved over the tools and the T-Car. Still shinning as new. Rounding the car, she spotted the R-Cycle. Robin's beloved. She grinned at it and walked over. Her hand ran over it's surface as she moved around it. Grinning wider, she gripped a handle and straddled her body over it. After getting comfortable, she lost herself in her thoughts again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Robin shifted through the newspapers. Nothing of real interest in them for him. As he tossed them back on his desk. A clear 'ding' rang through the hall. Robin cocked a brow and stood up. He moved to his uniform and collected his Bo-Staff. Slowly he left his room, creeping through the halls until he came to the elevator. He pushed the button and waited as it opened. After stepping in, he looked to the control panel. The garage was lit up as the last stop. Curious, he pushed it's button. With a smirked, Robin played with the control panel and turned off it's bell. He wanted the surprise whoever was sneaking around. It only took minutes before the doors opened.

Again he crept around quietly. Without his steel boots on, it was much easier. Rounding the T-car, his Staff at the ready, Robin paused. He blinked, lowering his staff and stared at the sight before him.

Raven sat on his bike. Her hands running over it lightly. Her face had a serene dreamy look. Her eyes kind of glazed, like she was lost in thought. ' Beautiful.' He thought. Smirking to himself, Robin walked forward. ' I'm going to get it for this, but oh well.'

Stepping behind her, he spoke out. "What are you thinking about?"

Raven screeched and jumped up. A few items were surrounded by an black aura before Raven caught herself. With a hard thud, she fell back onto the bike seat. Robin chuckled at her, retracting his Bo-Staff and placing it on a nearby work bench.

Raven glared at him the entire time. Her heart pounding. Robin moved next to her, nudging her slightly.

"So, why are you on my bike?"

Raven blinked and looked down. Realizing she was still on it, she jumped slightly and started to remove herself from it. Robin reached a hand out, stopping her. She glanced up at him, he smiled down on her. As she sat back down, Robin leaned against the work table, his arms crossed, a small smirk on his lips.

"So?" he asked.

Raven sighed and looked away. "Just thinking."

"And my bike helped?"

"I was thinking about the bike." Raven sighed.

"Why?" He still looked at her, smirking.

Raven ducked her head and mumbled quickly. "Iwasthinkingaboutwhenstarfireusedtoridewithyouonthebikesometimesandhowikindofwantedtodothesame"

Robin leaned forward. "What was that, I couldn't hear you."

Raven turned, glared and ground out the words. "I said..I was thinking about when Starfire used to ride with you on the bike sometimes and how I kind of wanted to do the same." She huffed and turned away again, crossing her arms.

'What!' Robin seemed alittle shocked at this. He, never in his life, would think Raven would want to ride on his bike with him. Or much less care that Starfire had in the past.To be honest, in the past, he never thought of asking her. Unfolding his arms slowly, he stepped up to the bike. Before Raven could protest it, Robin slid onto the seat behind her. Raven gasped. Robin slid his arms around her waist. Raven froze, tensed. Robin smiled and moved in alittle closer. Raven turned her head toward him. Robin leaned in further and rested his head against her neck, inhaling. Raven closed her eyes and turned away. Robin whispered against her ear, his breathe fanning over it. She shivered.

"It's all yours now."

Raven whispered back to him. "What is?"

He smiled against her hair. "The bike rides..me. If you want us."

Raven closed her eyes tighter, and nodded. "I do."

Robins' smile grew as he nuzzled against her neck. "Good."

With that his placed a small kiss on her neck. Gently he pulled her back against his chest, deeper into his embrace. She tilted her head up to him. Her eyes soft, her hands wrapping around his. With what sounded like a mixture of growl and groan, but all need, Robin leaned down and claimed Raven's lips in a passionate kiss. Raven returned it willingly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning. Robin and Raven woke up later then usual. But both were relaxed and calm. Memories from the night before flooded them both as they went through their morning routines. The other Titans were already lounging in the living room. Robin made it out first and went about making breakfast for two, after noticing Raven hadn't arrived yet. A few minutes later, Raven made her way out. She looked around the living room, and returned her friends smiles. She went into the kitchen and found Robin setting breakfast on the table, a pot of tea already made. Raven smiled and walked over to the table. Robin looked up as she approached and smiled back. Leaning over he placed a quick kiss on her lips before helping her into a chair. Raven blushed lightly.

After their breakfast, they joined the others. The usual 'Day After Battle' chat started up. Which lead into the 'Zurl' conversation. They still had not found any real or useful information on the man. Nor did they know how Raven was suppose to defeat him. From there, Cy and Beast Boy went into their gaming routine, Starfire cheering them on. Raven scooted closer to Robin. he placed his arm over her shoulder as they watched the video game play out.

Raven smiled. These were good times. Usually she would be reading a book by now, but change was always good. She snuggled closer to her lover. ' Lover...Robin...my lover Robin...' Raven thought and blushed to herself.

All was peaceful, all was calm. That was until an intense wave of someone else's hate washed over Raven. Making her skin chill, raising goosebumps. She looked around the room. Her empathy in overdrive as she tried to pinpoint whose emotion it was. She looked at her smiling friend, her smiling lover. Confusion took her over as she figured out it wasn't coming from her friends.

Just then, a dark red flash of energy came blasting through the living room's window.
