Instinctual Attraction, Trouble's at the Door

Friday. Yes lades and gentlemen it is Friday at Wayne Manor and so far everything's been peachy. For Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire that is, for Raven and Robin … it's been hell! All week Robin tried to get to Raven, but she had been avoiding him! Now that bothered him, why was she hiding form him? Did he do something wrong, what happened? The only time the two ever saw each other – even then she refused to make I contact with him – was at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Every time he tried to talk to her afterwards she'd faze into the wall and disappear!

Now, it was getting frustrating, in the morning after breakfast Raven once again eluded him. However by fate or by luck he caught her at the hall fazing through the ground and coming at a stop to her room. Looking up she froze when sapphire hues locked her in a furious gaze. Damn! And she was doing so well to, Oh-no! she dashed to her room, Robin glared.

"Raven! Stop! We need to talk!" Running down the hall at break neck speed, Raven was just about in her room when she felt his hand wrap around her wrist and yank her back out almost dislocating her shoulder.

By this time a certain shape-shifter was strolling up the stairs to get to his room, when he stopped and his sensitive hearing picked up the voices of Raven and Robin. With Robin doing most of the talking, so far he sounded pissed, furrowing his brows in confusion he silently peeked around the corner to see Raven held by Robin gripping her forearms tightly. Beast Boy would guess that she must have been either shocked or pained by the forcefulness of their leader, but he knew one thing he didn't like the way Robin looked and was treating her. For the sake of reason he stayed put to hear the story, cause like it or not, he had felt some kind of tension between them for the last week.

"Raven why have you been avoiding me?" Robin demanded, his eyes showing full emotion in them.

Raven stumbled, wishing he had put on his mask cause no matter what she found out she was still overwhelmed by the volume of emotions washing over her. Shaking her head she tried to struggle out of his grasp, but he held fast. With grunt she stopped to glared at him and demanded straight back, "Let me go Robin!"

"Not until you tell me why you've been hiding from me." Geez he was serious, that much she could tell, but she was not going to let that bother her.

"Robin, I haven't been hiding, I have been dodging you for your own good." Raven answered.

Robin blinked, "What?"

"You heard me," she snapped, "These things that you've been feeling for me is not what you think. The feelings you're getting are not real; it's just the demon side of me that is calling to you. I know it sounds crazy, but listen to me all these emotions, you have to let go. For your own sake let me go and never look back. Distract yourself with Starfire, she's the one you want not me. Now, release me."

"Raven, that doesn't make any sense, why would your demon side be calling to me?" Raven huffed in frustration, He doesn't believe me.

"Because you have power. My primordial side instinctively went for you because you are the leader of our team. It's a pheromone that is scentless and can only affect you; since you're human it has overwhelmed you greatly. Remember Robin my father was the most powerful demon of his kind, his blood is running on what it was taught. So please, release me and stay away, for your own safety."

"How do you even know it's true?" Robin questioned, obvious in his eyes that he was still not believing her story, "When did it start, how come you're not affected?"

Raven gulped, To close. Putting her hand on his chest and still trying to push away, he stubbornly moved his hands to the small of her back pulling her to flush against his body. Defiant fire raged in her eyes as well as his, damn him, damn him and his stupid oh so drop dead gorgeous blue storms. Trying not to think about it she answered quietly yet furiously, "Can you explain your sudden infatuation? It started probably when you asked me about to cut, when I was starting to come out of childhood. The reason I'm not affected is … is because deep down I knew this was nothing. Even the more reason why it's just instinct … I'm sorry Robin, this means nothing … not a thing."

"I don't believe you." Robin out right denied her, and too her dismay this meant plan B. The part she was hoping she wouldn't have to do, Damn you Robin! I thought you'd understand or at least think about it! Why do you got to be so stubborn! This means nothing!

Glaring up at him Raven found that her voice wasn't matching her expression as she whispered, "You could kiss me now and it wouldn't have an affect."

Beast Boy's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open, so far everything that he has heard was rather far-fetched, but Raven giving some guy permission to kiss her! Now he's seen everything! Especially Robin! Maybe what she was saying was right? Maybe Robin was just under some kind of spell cause for no reason at all he was tracking her. Beast Boy knew a thing or two about instinct, hell he lived it most of his radio active life, instinct could some times drive a person to insanity. No matter how straight he or she thought they were you just had to be strong enough to fight it. Right now, Robin looked like he was raging war within his head, the tempting offer – or was it a challenge – Raven had threw at him was to good to pass up.

Yet, one side was screaming, yelling, blowing horns, and howling for him to let her go, to turn around and listen to her advise. Maybe she's right … maybe this is all wrong and I'm just responding to her demon … maybe … maybe … maybe she's wrong.

Without hesitation Robin lowed his lips down to hers and crushed her in a desperate kiss. Raven's eyes went wide with shock and worry suddenly the lights all around them began to flicker on and off. The faint sounds of shattering vases rang deafly in her ears, fading to silence where it was only she and he. Ohmygodohmygodohmygod! Dear Nevermore don't let this backfire! Her knees quaked; unconsciously she grabbed a fist full Robin's shirt and held on for fear of falling. He must have taken it the wrong way cause he held on tighter.

5 seconds, that's all it took, 5 seconds, but to them it was like an eternity of torture. Catching their breath, Raven looked up to her commander with a dazed expression while he just looked at her with hope filled eyes. "Nothing?" he whispered.

Nothing? Was it nothing? Oh boy not good, Raven was second-guessing herself; maybe this was a bad idea. Stick to the plan, push him away, make him go away! With her dazed look still trying to recover she slowly shook her head and whispered breathlessly, "No … nothing … not a thing …"

Hurt, she had hurt him and she could see it in his sapphire eyes, those beautiful eyes she wanted to see anything other that hurt, or pain. Then to make things worse for her, the fact that she had caused it hurt her. Not wanting to see it any more she pushed away and ran into her room leaving Robin to stand in the middle of the hall cold and alone … or so he thought. Beast Boy pulled away from the sad scene and quietly strolled back down the stairs forgetting why he had come up there in the first place.

Remorse, that as all his senses picked up in the hall, to thick and to solid he had to catch his breath. Gee, who would have thought, eh? Not him that was for sure, he just hoped nothing got to drastic, cause like Raven said she needed to be away from Robin. Beast Boy just prayed she didn't take the extra measure and do something shocking. Like leave them or something, cause even if she was touché so to speak Raven was like a sister he never had. He didn't know what he'd do without her.

Later that day, somewhere around the afternoon where Beast Boy was trying his best to forget what he had witnesses back at the hall was sitting upside-down on the couch watching TV. Although every channel that he changed to all he saw was Robin's hurt expression and Raven's confused one, the kiss also kept replaying itself in his head.

They looked to be struggling, Raven looked like she wanted to contribute but held back, while Robin looked hungry. Like he wanted nothing but her.

Beast Boy growled and sat up tossing the remote to the side he thought long and hard about their ordeal. He knew he shouldn't have been eavesdropping, but curiosity had killed the cat. Now he was regretting ever doing it, his friends were struggling with emotional problems and he couldn't do anything to help. The worst thing about knowing all this was he felt like this was only the beginning of an emotional train wreck waiting to happen. Already he could see it, everything spinning out of control, the only people that weren't aware of Hurricane Emotion were Starfire, Cyborg, Bruce, and Alfred. Speaking of which should he tell them?

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Beast Boy shook his head, Maybe later. Standing up and turning off the TV he walked around the couch to lean against the pillars to see who was at the door as Alfred answered.

"Good-afternoon Alfred." Answered a familiar voice that Beast Boy found was that Daniel guy from before.

"Good-afternoon Master Daniel, do come in and I shall inform Master Bruce of your arrival. Would you be staying for lunch?" asked the good'ol butler as he made way for the crimson eyed human to step in. Beast Boy blinked, this guy was either a Halloween fan or a concealed creature, but those eyes couldn't be from being human. Genetic defect?

"Thank you Alfred, and yes I'll be staying for lunch."

"Marvelous, Master Bruce would be delighted to here this news." With that Alfred bowed, closed the door and left to find his master. Leaving Daniel to stand and wonder about the house he had been in awhile back, however the sight of the strange green fellow to the side threw off the beautiful style.

"Logan is it not?" he asked, Beast Boy cringed, not only from the use of his name, but from the harsh gaze he was getting from those red eyes. Damn they were so red and piercing, Beast Boy literally felt himself pinned to the far wall from his look.

Getting himself together he took a deep breath and nodded, "Yeah, Daniel right? The young guy that owns his own company?"

Daniel smirked, again Beast Boy cringed, even his smirk was haunting. It was like he knew a secret and he wasn't about to tell, everything screamed caution, danger, and red alert watch out for this guy! In fact Beast Boy's senses were on end that gut feel of something about to happen wrenched at his insides. "I'm flattered you remembered me."

"Well it's kind-a hard to forget someone with your type of eyes." Beast Boy bluntly pointed out, "Which by the way, no offence or anything, but are they real?"

He chuckled, holy hell what was up with this guy! Everything he did freaked Beast Boy out to the max! "They are 100 real, Logan, something like your unnatural skin color. Green, I do believe I've seen something like it before, but I can't place my finger on it."

"Nah dude," Beast by shook his head, "if you've seen it then you've been at Jump City cause that's where I live with my friends. Only I have this kind-a color."

"Ah Jump City, isn't that where the Titan's located themselves?"

"Shoot."

"I'll take that as a yes."

"Daniel," the two's tension level had just begun to rise when Bruce from the stairs came down to greet Grayheart with a smile, "what brings you back?"

"Just come to clarify the party, you still up for it?" Daniel asked straight to the point.

Bruce chuckled, "Of course, besides that, let's head on over to the table for a meal. Garfield, join us?"

Beast Boy was skeptical, before when he met this guy earlier he thought he would have been cool and his instincts just working over time. But now he knew there was just something you couldn't trust with this guy. However the mention of food was to good to pass up. With a nod he followed the host and the second guest to the dinning hall were he saw the rest of his friends. His eyes traveled mostly towards Raven and Robin, both sat across from each other on their spots despite their earlier conference. That was when he could feel it, in his throat where it was hard to breath the thick tension in the air. He felt that if any one were to say the wrong thing feathers would start flying all over the place. Treading on eggshells, Beast Boy cautiously found his way to his seat next to Raven. Act natural. He thought.

"Uh, hey Rae whasup?" Raven just closed her eyes and shook her head as if to say forget about it, and that Beast Boy tried to respect. Looking over to Robin he saw him trying not to stare at her, but was failing miserably. Beast Boy took a breath, Tread very carefully Beast Boy, this don't look like it's something to joke about.

"I believe you already met my son and his friends," Bruce suggested distracting Beast Boy for the moment to look up at Daniel as he sat next to Bruce he couldn't help but noticed how the guys eyes lingered on Raven for more than a few seconds. Like an over protective brother Beast Boy gulped down a warning growl.

"Yes, I have and in fact I would like to ask you all a question." The shape-shifter noticed both Robin and Raven look up, and for a moment the tension vanished. Eyeing Daniel carefully as he smirked and asked, "I was wondering, now that I have merged with Bruce my company has expanded greatly and requires more hands. Frankly I'd rather do all the work myself, but my time is limited. So if you will please consider my offer for at least one of you to become my personal assistant or intern to lean about the business I'd much appreciate it."

Robin's eyes narrowed in suspicion Beast Boy did much the same, "We don't have any background on business affaires. Why would you ask one of us to become your assistant?"

"Not mainly an assistant Grayson, but an intern, you could lean about the business and maybe even enjoy it." Daniel pointed out.

Robin shook his head going straight into protective, detective mode, "I don't know, this doesn't sound right."

Bruce broke in to be the voice of reason, "Richard, everything's okay, none of you have to go if you don't want to, right? Daniel?"

Daniel shrugged, "I guess, but I'd say it's a great learning opportunity. Logan told me the five of you room together am I correct?"

A glare was shot from Robin on the downlo as Beast Boy jerked his head back slightly, Damn! Why do I get the feel this was a set up? Beast Boy cleared his throat and shrugged answering hesitantly, "Uh … ye … sure, yeah. We do."

"Well then I will assure you that if one of you were to join me your friend will visit you every weekend for a full year. You have my word as a gentleman." Daniel put a hand to his heart and bowed his head in such a sophisticated manner.

"A Year?" Starfire inquired, "Why that sounds rather long to be just as you say interning. I don't believe I could ever leave my friends for such a long period of time. Do accept my apologies."

Daniel nodded and looked to Cyborg who hook his head, "Sorry, but as much as I'd like to just up and split, my loyalties are to my friends like St – uh, Amora here."

Looking down to Robin, Beast Boy could have swore he saw sparks flying in between the two as Robin answered in a toneless voice, "No thanks."

Moment of truth, Beast Boy already knew his answer, "Sorry dude, but suits and ties are so not me."

The Titan's – especially Robin and Beast Boy – all looked to the last Titan. Thoughtful she was, and inquisitive she looked up to Daniel and asked, "Do we need an application?"

Daniel formed another smirk and answered softly, "No, it's all on me."

"For a full year? Do we have to follow you wherever you go? Even live with you? Kind of drastic don't you think?"

"The distance from Gotham to Jump City –" again Beast Boy felt Robin slip him another of his glares. The changeling chuckled nervously, " –is a far one, it would be a tolling trip back and forth. I could provide you with an apartment all your own, and trust me you will be getting paid in full as any normal assistant."

Raven took a deep breath she felt them, all of her friends giving her looks of utter disbelief. Especially Robin, in fact she could feel his aura raging in outrage. She could tell he was fighting to keep quiet. It may not look or sound like much, but in hints and little clues it was obvious she was really thinking about this. Looking up to Daniel again after staring at her plate she sighed, "This is really much to think about."

"Please, do think, this is a chance of a lifetime. Do you have any skills as a business woman?" they didn't like that, Robin and Beast Boy didn't like the way Daniel was saying and encouraging her to leave the group. Surely she'd never … right?

Raven shrugged, "Not much, just bits and pieces …"

Daniel nodded, and for the rest of the meal it was eaten in total silence. Raven ignored the eyes she was getting from all her Titan's and thought long and hard about his offer. This could be a chance; a chance for her to get away from Robin, cause lord knows how much trouble she's going to bring him if she stayed any longer.

Their relationship was totally wrong on all levels that she couldn't quite mention. Her with Robin was like Day with Night, once the shadow stands over the light is when darkness shall over take all sane thoughts. She was Night; she was the shadowed blemish on Day's beautiful nature, being with him was not logical. Right? Now him and Starfire that was a smart match. Right? He belonged with Starfire not her. Right? She shouldn't be bothered by that stupid kiss … Right? It meant nothing … Right? Absolutely, positively nothing … Right?

Wrong. It meant something, a whole big something, serge of something that she couldn't explain. An electrifying feeling had swept over her the moment he made contact, it was so wrong, but it felt so right. So good, so … she wanted more, but she couldn't allow it. The little voice in her head had been bugging her, telling her it was all nothing but a stupid little nothing. It was all instinct, it was all nothing … at least that was what she wanted to believe.

She wanted so much to believe she wasn't … feeling … anything for her commanding leader, but as much as she would like to deny it she couldn't. Raven Roth was actually beginning to feel something for her leader, which was why she decided to take Daniel up on his offer. To have a relationship with your teammate could only spell trouble, especially if you're an emotionless Ice Queen that had to keep her feelings in check. It was not only wrong, but also dangerous … and the thing that frightened her was … she liked it.
