* I do not own Teen Titans (sadly) or Spiderman (again sadly) I am merely borrowing them to write this story (yay mine)*

It was a calm summer's day, a cool breeze was gently blowing across the landscape as Robin took a relaxing jog through the park. Instead of his highly recognizable uniform he was in grey sweat pants and a form fitting sleeveless tshirt, the only part of his uniform still adorned, his mask. Robin stopped as an especially strong and relaxing wind blew by him and looked at the lake he had stopped in front of and decided to sit down for a breather. He looked up and closing his eyes took in a long and very content breath thinking about how good his life was, he had great friends, a girl that cared about him as much as he cared about her, and he was making a difference fighting crime in this city.

"Life really is good." and with that Robin smiled as if nothing could go wrong in the world, chuckling as he realized that something would probably go wrong anyway but he was there along with the rest of the Titans to put it right. As if reading his thoughts that very moment the air was suddenly filled with screams and sirens and Robin jumped up ready for action.

"Damn I don't have my costume . . . grr well it doesn't matter I still have to help." Robin bolted in the direction of the commotion expecting to see his comrades and sure enough as he got there Starfire and the rest were already there trying to contain a man covered in a grey . . . hide who must have been bigger than Mammoth with a huge horn on top of his head.

"Robin you are here, oh this is most excellent for now we can really kick his tushy." said a cheery and enthusiastic Starfire. Raven rolled her eyes at her naive friend and Cyborg and Beast Boy were stifling laughs when Robin leapt in front of them and said, "All right Titans lets take this big guy down." and with that they jumped into action. The huge Rhino-man was in the middle of a street lifting up cars, throwing them into buildings and at innocent people, and in general just causing destruction and chaos. Robin dashed in front of the behemoth and pointing a finger at him demanded, "Stop right now or I will be forced to take you down." The huge Rhino looked down at this kid and started to laugh.

"HA HA HA a little punk like you think he can take down Rhino . . . FAT CHANCE!!" and roared as he charged Robin attempting to skewer Robin with his gigantic horn. Robin easily dodging the thug thinking, {wow this guy is not too bright, he shouldn't be too hard to bring down}.

"Go Titans . . . NOW!!" Robin yelled and they went into formation. Raven muttered her chant and sent a manhole cover towards Rhino and it collided with his shins tripping him up and sending him right into a Starfire upper cut.

"Sorry Mr. Rhino." and Raven rolled her eyes a second time muttering something about Star being too polite for her own good sometimes. Shaking off the punch Rhino roared again and this time started to charge an innocent bystander who was frozen to the spot, overwhelmed by fear.

"Oh no you don't." Cyborg ran towards them and, getting in between the person and Rhino, fired his sonic cannon launching the man beast into a huge gorilla hug.

"I got him guys! I got him!!" Beast Boy yelled victoriously when suddenly he felt Rhino's grip on his forearms. "huh wha. . . . " and then Beast Boy was thrown through the air.

"AHH BB watch it man you're flying right towards . . . " But it was too late and the BB gorilla collided with Cyborg.

"Heh heh uhhhh sorry Cy." An apologetic BB said sheepishly as he scratched his head.

"Mmmph . . mmph . . . MMMMMPH!!!!" Cyborg mumbled under BB.

"What?" BB asked, reverting back to normal and getting off of Cyborg. Cyborg got up and smacked BB across the head and said, "I said get off me stupid."

BB was rubbing his head glaring at Cyborg. Rhino charged past them an using his horn rammed Robin back into Starfire and Raven. AS Robin recovered he rubbed his head yelling at Cyborg and Beast Boy.

"Come on guys, lets get it together." The Titans struck poses getting ready for a second attempt when out of nowhere something struck Rhino in the back of his head driving him into the pavement. Some guy in a red and blue costume back flipped after kicking Rhino in the head and landed on the ground almost flat against the ground his legs and one arm supporting him, his other arm high in the air. Rhino got up and curled his fists growling.

"You . . . . . Why are you here!?!?" Rhino roared even louder and charged the stranger, who didn't look much older than the Titans.

"Oh no mommy . . . the big dumb animal is charging us . . I'm scared . . . NOT!" the stranger quipped and just as Rhino would have flattened the new guy he flipped onto Rhino's back laughing and bringing his fists down on the back of Rhino's head, driving him into the pavement again, this time he didn't get up as quickly. The stranger leapt onto a nearby light post and balanced himself with superhuman ease and shot some kind of string that completely enveloped the man beast who was by now unconscious. The new guy jumped down and clapping his hands as if cleaning off dust waved at the Titans.

"Well that was fun . . . pretty easy too." Taking his eyes off of the huge man the stranger he looked over each of the Titans and the eye portions of his mask got wide as if underneath his mask he was smiling wide. All of the Titans jaws had dropped as he said that the previous battle which they had trouble with as five he accomplished himself. They were all staring at the stranger when the sounds of police sirens sounded in the air and he looked away.

"Well it's been a blast I look forward to working with you guys again." He walked up to each Titan and shook their hands until he reached Raven and took her hand in his pressing where his lips would be on his mask to her hand. "especially you." and with that leapt to another light post readying to shoot his string when a stunned Robin stepped forward. "Wait a sec . . . who are you?"

The stranger looked at them and shot the string sticking it to a far away building and said, as he leapt into the air, "Just your friendly neighborhood Spiderman" and with that was off swinging through downtown, leaving the Titans staring in disbelief.

*Later that night, around midnight*

The night made the air cooler but not by much and the salt of the sea made the breeze slightly rougher but it all added to a calming effect Raven found pleasant. She had been unable to sleep for many hours so she decided to take an impromptu meditation on the roof of HQ. The events earlier in the day had troubled her greatly, not so much that the stranger known as Spiderman had kissed her hand but that she had, unbeknownst to even herself, been blushing as he left. This caused the rest of the team, especially Beast Boy to take to ribbing her greatly about her completely out of character showing of emotion. Mostly she meditated to clear her head and regain her composure, but in the beginning she asked herself a few questions like why had he done it and more importantly why had she, apparently, liked it. Finally at about 12:45 she felt relaxed and stood up allowing the breeze to run across her face and through her hair, she closed her eyes and sighed.

"The breeze feels great doesn't it?" Raven's eyes widened and she stumbled backwards into the waiting arms of someone. Looking above her she found Spiderman there holding her up. She quickly regained her composure and stepped back from him and tried to look upset but a smile had crept across her lips and it took a while to fight back to her usual neutral facade.

"What are you doing here?" She stood there arms crossed, feet together trying to look as unemotional as possible.

"I wanted to say hi and formally introduce myself." He extended a hand. "I'm sorry I had to leave in such a hurry . . . police don't like me too much." Raven looked at his hand and extended hers to shake and looked him in the eyes.

"After such a gesture as kissing my hand a handshake seems anticlimactic wouldn't you say?"

"HA HA HA" Spiderman laughed scratching the back of his head. "Yea I imagine it must seem that way, I'm sorry."

"Now why are you apologizing? It is unnecessary." Raven turned and walked to the edge of the tower. "I have a few questions for you if you don't mind."

"Uhhh sure Raven what dya want to know?" Raven noticed the voice had changed and turned around to see Cyborg standing in the doorway to the roof.

"Oh well . . . . I wanted to know . . . . if you were going to the park tomorrow?" Raven thought up that false question as she figured Spiderman had gotten away before Cyborg had gotten to the roof.

"Uhhh yea I am." Cyborg scratched his head. "Why?"

"Oh no real reason . . merely curiosity thank you." and Raven turned around looking out over the ocean leaving a confused Cyborg scratching his head harder mumbling as he went back downstairs.

"Phew thanks a lot that was close." Spider man had returned and was standing next to her on the edge of the building.

"Where did you go and how did you know Cyborg was going to be on the roof. . . it's almost as if you could see it coming." Raven looked at him with a slightly inquisitive look.

"Well you see one of my powers is my spider sense, a kind of precognition." Spider man said looking at her tapping his temple. "Well I should let you get back to sleep and I should get some rest myself so I will bid you adieu." Spiderman took Raven's hand again and she thought to herself~I should stop this. . . I should take my hand away . . . but I'm not doing that . . .~ and Spiderman rolled his mask up to his nose and actually pressed his lips to her hand, it shot a tingle up through her arm, and she closed her eyes for a moment taking in the situation.

"Well I'll introduce myself formally tomorrow to everybody, I just wanted to meet you first." She smirked keeping her emotions in check, allowing a little emotion to creep through, and responded.

"The team and I will be in the park . . . perhaps I will see you there." Spider man winked and after a wave dove over the edge of the building and, as Raven predicted, then he rose above the horizon swinging off to whatever place he called home.

"An interesting young man that is for sure." Raven mused as she walked down to her room to fall asleep.
