The sun rose as Beastboy, who had kept himself awake thinking about how awesome meeting Batman was, turned into a rooster and crowed to wake everyone up; He loved doing that.

He turned back into his normal form and walked into the kitchen and made himself a vegetarian's breakfast.

Robin was the first to walk in and also make himself some breakfast. "Hey Beastboy. Didja stay up the rest of the night?"

Beastboy nodded. "Yeah, I still can't believe I met Batman."

Robin smirked. "He's your favorite, huh?"

Beastboy nodded. "Of all of the superheroes I've heard of he's the one that's the coolest. I mean he faces villains like the Joker and Mr. Freeze. He's like a superhero celebrity, a legend. I'd love to be as good a superhero as he is one day."

The others walked in to see Beastboy and Robin talking. Raven pulled out some small almond flour muffins. She floated over to the table and sat beside Robin.

Robin didn't take notice and smiled at her. "Good morning Rae. Rest well?"

She nodded. "Quite. After all that excitement last night it was good to return to my meditation."

Cyborg and Startfire walked in a moment later. Cyborg got two slices of ham and started to get the ingredients for pancakes ready.

Starfire got out some sweet cereal and milk. She also sat beside Robin.

Cyborg walked up with a plateful of pancakes dripping with syrup and melted butter beside the ham. He looked at Starfire and Raven sitting close to Robin and looked confused. He looked at Beastboy who was also looking oddly at the three teens across from him.

Robin looked back at Cyborg and Beastboy. "What? Do I have something ugly growing out of my face?"

Cyborg shrugged and sat down. "Robin's gotten popular overnight hasn't he B?" He looked over to his green skinned friend.

Beastboy nodded. "It's popularity through association, I think. He's popular because he used to be Batman's apprentice."

Cyborg looked surprised but nodded to cover it up. "Yeah, you're probably right."

Raven shook her head. "That has nothing to do with it. I just don't want to sit by Beastboy today." She said calmly.

Cyborg looked at her. "Like you normally do?" He retorted sarcastically.

She nodded. "My point exactly Cyborg. At least Robin doesn't try to make me laugh by telling me lame jokes. I'm not in the mood for bad jokes today."

Robin rubbed his head. "Now that you mention it Rae I don't feel too good myself. This headache won't go away. I've had it since four last night; that was an hour after Batman left."

Raven thought for a moment. "Didn't one of those two weirdoes' say something about those liquids falling in the air conditioning ducts? That could be affecting your head."

Robin nodded. "Maybe they are. Batman said that Scarecrow had also infected me with something."
Raven was about to say something else when their villain detection alarm went off.

Robin quickly stood up and ran to the computer nearby. "Looks like Cinderblock escaped along with Jinx and Gizmo. We need to move."

The Titans moved out without cleaning up the table of the food.

A few hours later the Titans walked back into the tower exhausted after fighting the three escaped villains.

Beastboy sighed tiredly. "Man I can't wait to relax. I'm going to kick back and enjoy some TV goodness."

Cyborg nodded. "Oh yeah I'm right with you there B."

Starfire, her energy never fading, walked up beside Robin. "Robin, what about the tales of your friend Batman, you said you would tell me about him."

Robin nodded. "You're right Star I did. I'll tell you after I take a moment to rest."

Starfire smiled and nodded. "Great! I shall be there shortly." She quickened her pace to her room.

Robin sighed at the constant energy of the orange skinned girl walking away. "That girl has more energy than the Joker on caffeine."

Raven, to her surprise, found that she was chuckling under her breath at Robin's observation. She looked at him with her normal emotionless glance. "Please don't ever do that. I have enough trouble handling Beastboy and Starfire already. I think I'd go mental if you acted the same way."

Robin nodded back.

Beastboy started to protest but Raven turned down the corridor to her room. "See you later Raven." He said waving toward her.

Raven nodded her head but didn't respond.

Beastboy shrugged it off and ran toward the elevator leading to the top floor. After entering the lounge he hopped onto the sofa and turned on the TV. He saw the same stuff he saw every other day. All the news channels had the story of the Titans recapturing the three escapees and returning them to the prison they broke out of.

Cyborg sat on the sofa and turned to him. "Hey B see if the bball game is on will ya? The Razor Cats are playing the Czars."

Beastboy switched to the various sports channels and found that the Razor Cats were leading the Czars by nine points.

Raven, inside her room, looked at herself in the mirror above her chest of drawers. She examined every inch of it. She quickly decided that she hadn't meditated long enough the previous night to control her emotions and promptly returned to it; she soon found out that she couldn't concentrate well at all and decided to get some herbal tea to calm herself down. She walked into the lounge and nodded toward Starfire as the orange girl walked past her. "That was a wondrous tale Robin. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to hearing more about you're time with the Batman."

Raven walked toward the cupboard and took out her tea pot and poured water into it. She boiled the water on the stove. When the pot whistled she poured the water in a tea cup and dipped an earl gray teabag into the water. She walked to the table and sat down. She sipped the warm tea slowly.

Robin looked at her. "Mind if I join you Rae?"

Raven paused a second in surprise. She stopped sipping the tea and turned toward him. "I didn't know you drank herbal tea, Robin. The tea cups are in the cupboard."

Robin got up and got a tea cup. "I don't normally. I figured I'd try something new."

Raven put her teacup down gently and nodded silently.

He sat down near her and quietly sipped his tea, figuring that she wanted silence.

Raven suddenly broke the silence. "Why so quiet? Is something wrong?

Robin shook his head. "Nah I just thought you'd like the quiet. You don't really tolerate noise well."

She looked at him. "True, but that doesn't mean I don't like conversation."

He nodded and started bringing up different topics about life that might interest her.

The two Teens spent twenty-five minutes talking about several topics.

Raven scooted her chair back and started to clean up. "Thank you for the company Robin. It was very considerate of you."

Robin stood up also. "You rarely converse with anyone. It was nice to see you socialize more."

She put the now empty tea pot in the sink and walked away.

Robin went to his room and sat on his bed. He got up and went to his computer and searched for the things that might interest Raven and decided to ask her out as a friend to go somewhere.

He walked to her door and knocked on it gently.

Inside her room Raven heard the knock and put her book down; she still couldn't concentrate on her trance so she read instead. She opened the door and saw Robin without his mask and wearing formal clothes. She raised an eyebrow. "Do you need something?"

He smiled at her. "Actually I was hoping we could hang out together. It isn't a date, just two friends going out. Do you have anything nicer to wear than your hero clothes?"

She looked at him again. "People generally don't get dressed up for a casual day out. However I would like to get outside and not have to worry about any bad guy trouble. And yes even I have a few things nicer than this." She indicated her leotard and cloak combo she was wearing. I'll be a minute." She shut the door and searched around for that dress she had for a school dance that she wasn't able to attend. It was dark violet with long black sleeves. The skirt was split up the right side ending just above the lowest part of her thigh. She put it on and put her disguise in a large purse. She opened the door and walked out.

Robin smiled at her. "Lovely, Rae. I'm surprised you have a dress that's so sexy."

She looked at him and considered the statement. "I kept this thing around in case I need to wear it to a party or something. We can't always go out in our disguises." She locked and closed her door.

Robin and Raven walked toward the exit when Beastboy turned the corner. He looked at them quickly then did a double take. "Raven? Is that you?" He looked at Robin and smiled. He walked up to them and looked at Raven again. He was in disbelief that she was dressed up. "Where are you two off to?"

Robin shrugged. "We're going out. We're bringing along our disguises so just call us if something happens."

Beastboy nodded. "Out, where?"

Robin shrugged. "Nowhere that'd interest you."

Beastboy shrugged. "Alright, have fun. I've got cooler things to do anyway."

The two Teens continued on until they got outside. Robin pulled out his bike and flipped up the back panel. Under the panel was an extra seat for emergencies.

Raven walked toward it and sat down. The leather seat felt comfortable. Near her hands were hand holds.

Robin slung his leg over and turned the starter key. The engine hummed to life. He handed Raven a helmet and donned his.

Raven put on the helmet and grabbed onto the hand holds.

Robin drove the bike to restaurant nearby. He parked the bike and turned it off. He flipped up the driver's seat and crammed his helmet into the cubby hole that also held a bike maintenance kit. He took Raven's helmet and did the same with it. He put the seat back down and locked out the controls so that he was the only accepted driver.

He and Raven walked into the restaurant and a tall man approached them.

Robin pointed toward himself and Raven. "I called about a reservation."

The man looked down at Robin and flipped through a list on the counter. "May I have your name, sir?"

Robin pointed toward the list. "It's Grayson."

The man looked through the list and found the boy's name. "Here it is, sir. You're in the non-smoking section as requested. Follow me."

The teenagers followed the man to a round table with two chairs facing one another.

The man pulled out a chair for Raven. He waited until she was seated and let go. He backed up and looked at both of them. "Your service will be here shortly. Please wait." The man left to attend to a group that had just walked in.

Soon a young waitress came up to the two. "I'll be your service for this evening. What would you like to drink while you decide what to order?"

Raven looked at the waitress. "Hot herbal tea please, no sugar."

Robin thought a moment. "Just ice water for me thanks."

The waitress nodded as she jotted down the two drink orders. "I'll be back with your drinks shortly."

Raven looked at Robin. "I must compliment you on your choice of restaurants. This is nice."

The waitress came back with the drinks and menus. She handed the drinks first than the menus. "Take your time I'll come back to see if you've decided."

Robin opened up the menu and looked through it. He was relieved to see that it had normal names for the dishes. At least he knew he wouldn't accidentally order squid.

Raven looked through the menu and ran across three things that looked appealing.

The waitress came back and flipped to a blank page on her note pad. "Have you decided yet?"

Robin nodded. "I'll have the lamb chops and side salad. Put ranch dressing for the dressing please."

Raven looked at the waitress. "Filleted salmon with lemon pepper sauce and a side of the herbal soup."

The waitress repeated the orders and walked toward the kitchen.

Raven looked at Robin. "If you wanted steak you should have said." She said matter of fact.

Robin smiled. "It's fine really. I felt like eating another animal other than cow."

The meal went on without interruption, save for the waitress doing her job, and the two walked back to Robin's bike.

The bike was still there waiting for them.

Robin turned to Raven and smiled. "Where we're going next is a secret. But I think you'll like it."

Raven looked oddly at him. "A secret? I can't wait." She said with faux enthusiasm.
