A/N: ok this is going to be shorter than the rest but I couldn't just bulk it up just for the sake of length could I?

To my reviewers:

Elsa—thank TTnHPlover I found you in your community, which I found through them. How could I say no to such a wonderful story anyway? Every one needs to read Musical notes it is great!

littlemisschaos—she is being inspected because she has no legal guardian and hence is a ward of the state. No one realizes she's a member of the TT because they are a vigilante group and though the police might appreciate the help it is still frowned upon and if the police can't make them official then why would social services? Does that help you?

DESTRUCTION--- and you would be right.

Tigerrelly—thank you and I plan to continue up dating on a weekly basis.

DarkChild5---here you go, and what ever happened in your 'something like hope'? I'm still rather confused.

Finally, here's the story.

"Social services?" Robin asked.

"Conditions? You have to leave?" Cyborg was shocked.

"Your last name is Allen? Dude that's--" Beastboy stopped laughing. "Not really funny right now is it?" the Titans shook their heads.

"Raven this is a problem." Robin said. After shaking himself from Beastboy's distraction.

"It's my problem... I'm dealing." Raven began to walk away.

"No Raven, this is our problem, if you must go we are no longer the teen Titians we are merely Robin, Cyborg, Beastboy, and Starfire!" the young girl wanted to cling to her friend but seeing the look on Raven's face she wisely backed off.

"You just need to stay out of this. I'm handling it. I won't leave." With that resolve she made her exit and the other Titans were left alone.

"This is horrible. "Starfire's brow furrowed and her lips formed a pout. "What are we going to do?"

"She said she had it handled star, I'd leave her alone." Beastboy tried to reason with her.

"She is not handling, she is being handled!" Starfire exclaimed. The boys raised their eyebrows in unison. "I am going to speak with her!"

"No star!" Robin put a halting hand on her shoulder. "Let her be."

"But--"

"No star!" Cyborg chimed in.

"But what if..." again she was cut off this time by all three boys.

"NO STAR!"

Starfire floated off gloomily presumably to her bedroom.

"Man, if we're this great with all chicks we'll have no problem getting dates." Beastboy said sarcastically. Then he shrugged. "Bet I can beat you in Monkeys 5."

"No way!" Cyborg countered. "I'm gonna kick your green butt to Gothem!"

"Uh-nah" Robin stepped in. "you guys are going down!" with that distraction for the problem at hand the boys ran into the living room to, in all probability, break another game system.

(sceen change)

Alone in her room, Raven sat contemplating this most recent development in her predicament. It was good, in a way that her friends knew, now they knew why she had been acting the way she had. It was bad too though, know that they knew there wasn't a whole lot she could do to stop them form 'helping.' This is why she hadn't told them things were so much easier when she was alone. Except they weren't. When she looked back at it, even being the loner of the group, she could control her powers better than she ever could. She wasn't nearly as dangerous as she was before.

She summoned a piece of paper and a quill and began to make a list of all the possibilities of what might be required to allow her to stay with her friends and teammates.

(sceen change)

Down the hall Starfire was pacing her room. She felt compelled to do something productive. Either help and comfort her friend or inflict sever and chronic pain on that man who might be taking Raven away. The normally cheerful and pacifistic (is that a word?) alien was currently so agitated that she had worn a groove in the flooring. Sighing she stomped out of the room and began down the hall reaching Raven's door she knocked. "Raven, friend, please allow me to enter."

The door slid open part way so that Raven was blocking the view into the room. "What do you need Starfire?" she asked still blocking the way.

"I wish to help! I will do everything in my range of power for you to stay! Please allow me in to your sleeping chamber." Raven stood aside and Star fowled her into the room. She was no longer in the blue and pink skirt, but had changed back in to her costume. She seemed much more at ease in her normal clothing. "You have changed out of your strange garb." Starfire observed. Then with out pause she continued. "What is this social services? Why do they wish to take you away? What are you doing to prevent this tragedy? Where will you go? And what can I do to keep you here?"

"Social services are a government agency that makes sure that kids with out parents are taken care of." She started at the begin non-pulsed by Starfire's rapid-fire style. "Unfortunately they don't know how to tell the difference between normal and taken care of." She sat cross-legged on the bed. "They want me to leave because I don't have parents and they think I can't take care of my self."

"Then I will help! If this is because you have no parents then I will be your parent!" Starfire burst thinking she had solved the entire matter.

"Uh... I don't think it works that way."

"On my planet if a child has no parents then the people around the child take them in and make them theirs! I will take you in."

"You already have Star but you're not old enough to be a foster mom." A slight smile played on Raven's lips at her friend's kindness

"I will never understand this planet where care and affection can be shoved crudely aside for age!" she shook her head threw up her arms.

"Star! Calm down! You can't be my mom, you're my age." She explained.

Starfire worried at her upper lip. "So what can I do to do the helping?"

"I don't know Star, I don't think there's much you can do. We just have to wait until they tell us what they want me to do."
