Here it was yet another great day in Jump City, Raven; the goth of Titans Tower, was awaken by the bright light from her window. She used her powers to cover them up until she was used to the brightness. When she did get up, she noticed that Shadow was sleeping right next to her, it brought a small smile on her lips to see that. Raven threw the covers off her body and stretched, at first she popped her back and then she stretched her arms above her head. She then got on her hands and knees and stretched her back, by taking her legs and reaching them backwards...something of cat-like performance. When she was done she got up, took a shower, and changed clothes. Upon coming out her bathroom she once again saw Shadow sleeping, this brought another rare smile on her lips, she blew her a kiss and continued downstairs.
When Raven finally got downstairs, she was greeted by her boy wonder boyfriend. He was up and making breakfast for everyone, "Morning Raven." Robin said flipping some pancakes up and turning around to see her. He casually walked over to her and gave her a small kiss on the cheek then she quietly walked over and sat down on a stool.
"Morning yourself. What are you doing up so early?"
"Honestly..." walking back to the stove "I really don't know, I guess I couldn't sleep anymore, so I got up." he said getting a mug from the mug rack (i always wanted one of those!).
"Up all night thinking about me huh?" Robin smiled and went back to cooking while Raven got the newspaper. While she was reading it, someone saw her and decided it be funny to scare her. He slowly crept up behind her, low to the ground, easy and steadily...he lunged at her when,
"Morning Beast Boy. What's up?"
He was stopped suddenly and feel on the floor, "Dang, Raven. How'd you know it was me?" retracting himself into the next stool on her left.
"I smelled you. I smelled you a mile away."
"What are you talking about? How, I took a bath the other day?" Beast Boy raised his arm to smell his armpits.
"You smell like bananas and tofu..."Raven flipped a few pages of the paper and scratched at her neck.
"Really? Well I guess... Hey Raven what's that?" pointing to her neck
Robin had just brought over her and BB's plates of food when he stopped and looked to see what Beast Boy was pointing at. On her neck was this half dollar sized blood red rash, it kinda resembled a small paw mark.
"I don't know, what's it look like?" She asked getting worried, she tilted her neck to the right to let Robin get a better look. While Robin was taking off his apron Beast Boy got in his way to get a better look.
"Nasty, that's what." Beast Boy said walking towards the couch
"Let me see." Robin then walked to Raven's left side to see what it was. "Whoa Raven that is weird, what did you do?"
"Gee thanks Robin!" she said grabbing a spoon. She held it close to her face to examination it. 'Ew that does look gross! It look a little like a hand print?' she thought. Robin soon came up form behind her and took another look.
"Did you scratch yourself or something?" he asked practically kissing her neck.
"I don't remember anything like that happening." Raven made an attempted to heal whatever it was, but it didn't work.
"AH HA! I know what it is!" Beast Boy proclaimed and raising an eyebrow. He hopped over the couch and joined the two birds by the counter.
"What is it Einstein?" Raven asked
"Well it's so obvious, isn't it...ROBIN!" pointing at Robin
"What the hell are you talking about?" Robin smacked BB's hand out of his face
"That thing...on Raven's neck...is...A HICKEY!" pointing at Raven and Robin
"WHAT!" they said in unison with blood red blush faces.
"Hickey? What hickey?" Cyborg asked coming in the living room with Starfire shortly behind him.
"The one on Raven's neck. Robin you sly dog! Who da man?" B.B. raised a hand to Robin waiting to receive a high five, only to have it hang there.
"Let me see." Cyborg said Looking at Raven's neck Cyborg used his magnifying ability in his cybernetic eye to scan Raven's neck. "Damn girl that looks painful! Robin, my man, up top!" only to get the same reaction Beast Boy did.
"I didn't give her a hickey!" Robin screamed
"If you didn't who did?" Beast Boy asked while raising a brow, all eyes fell on Raven, her blush only got redder.
"Please, is that not that game where large men hit each other with wooden sticks, while gliding on frozen water?" Starfire asked coming down stairs.
"That's 'hockey' Starfire. A hickey is what Robin gave Raven, see it's on her neck!" Cyborg explained
"Oh Friend may I see?" she asked flying over to her and tilting Raven head to she could see "OH! It looks like the seed on a floridran pokeytrim! Very rare and very dangerous creature!"
'Since when did I become a sideshow freak?' Raven thought when Star let go.
Raven was so embarrassed, she covered her neck with her hand, Robin picked up on this and decided to do some damage control, "Look guys it's probably nothing, she might have got stung or it's a rash or maybe she's allergic to Shadow..." making sure that last part to be quite.
"Robin, I'm NOT allergic to our cat. Just because you don't like her doesn't me-"
"I don't like her? She hissed at me last night! She was practically telling me to 'get the hell out'!"
"Look let's not fight, I 'll go get something for this later. It doesn't hurt, so can we just eat breakfast, please?"
"Fine by me." Robin said before walking back into the kitchen. Raven sat back down at the common room table, she yet again opened the newspaper and was about to finish where she left off when she felt eyes on her, "What?"
"NOTHING!" and the trio went t back to their activities, Beast Boy and Cyborg went back to eating at the counter, while Starfire finished her search for her mustard in the kitchen. Raven turned back and tried to finish her paper when Robin sat a mug of her herbal tea in front of her. She thanked him, picked up her cup, but stopped in mid sip.
"What's wrong, Rae? Did I not make it right?" Robin asked taking a seat next to her with a cup coffee.
"No, nothing, it's just I don't feel like having tea today..."
"Well," getting up and going to the fridge "we got apple juice, pop(NOT SODA), mustard, water, milk, soy mi-"
"Milk! I want some milk please?"
"No problem hun..." he reached in the cabinet and got her a glass and poured her milk. He sat it in front of her before sitting down again. She drank it down, faster then you could say 'damn!' and when she was done she slammed the glass down and looked up at Robin. He started giggling cause of her mustache she now had, she licked her top lip and then...her hand? When her hands were wet enough she used them to clean her face.
"Um, Raven? What the hell are you doing?" Robin asked. Then everyone looked.
"What?"
"You cleaning your face..."
"Yeah?"
"...with your hand."
She then stopped in mid lick and stuck her tongue back in her mouth.

SIDE BAR TITANS
Robin and Raven are doing some rearranging of the Titans' living room:
"A little more to the left, a little more. Nope too much, just put it back where it was." Robin tells Raven, who has the couch levitating, before they both leave the room.
_-Raven-and-Robin-and-Raven-and-Robin-and-Raven-and-Robin-_
"What were you doing that for?" Robin asked
"I-I don't know, I was cleaning my face. It just felt right like I had to." Raven responded
"Really?"
"Yea. Sorry I-"
"Nah it's cool, just another thing about you I lo-" Robin started to say when he felt judging eyes on him. He quickly dismissed what he was about to say and grabbed Raven to hug her closely. "Say how about you and me go out tonight? Maybe we cou-" was all he got out before the doors swooshed open to reveal a sleepy and hungry Shadow. She limped her way to Raven, which wasn't very far because Raven scooped her up in her arms before that happened.
"Oh my gosh. I so sorry Shadow! I totally forgot about you! I'm sorry." Raven said leaving Robin arms to retrieve her cat. She walking back towards the door when she remembered Robin, she turned and looked. "Robin I'm sorry but I have to feed her. We can talk later okay?"
"Hey yeah don't worry about it Rae."
"Thanks Robin." Raven blew him a kiss and walked to her room.
"Man…that was harsh..." Beast Boy said, after Raven left. Him and Cyborg had some what appeared next to him with plates in hand.
"Hey come on, she had to feed that cat of hers. She's got responsibilities. I'm okay." Robin finished clearing his and Raven's place.
"Really?" Cyborg asked
"Yeah, I'm fine." Robin said walking to his room.
"Damn…and after that hickey he gave her…" Beast Boy added
With Raven and Shadow:
"Let's see..." Raven had just closed her door and sat Shadow down. She went to her closet and got out her cat food and dish. She put it in the corner of her room, poured some in and when she was done, Raven put the bag away and sat near Shadow while she was eating, and meditated.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos . Azarath Metrion Zinthos 'Ya know Robin is right, I really don't need to do this anymore. Huh? That's funny my nails have gotten longer, note to self: get a pedicure. Maybe when will hang out today…KNOCK KNOCK…or I could get the door."
Raven got up from her position and walked to the door, Robin was on the other side. "Robin, to what do I owe this pleasant surprise?" she asked sarcastically
"Sorry Rae, but we got trouble. Johnny Rancid is uptown (too many fights down town) and he's got some sort of bird thing with him. We gotta go!" Robin said before he bolted
"Right!" She started before she looked back in her room and shouted "Don't do anything I can't do!" Then she was off.
Up Town
"HAHAHAHA! Flee you weak people! Run and hide from my Weedy Bird! HAHAHAHAHA!" Johnny shouted on top of some cars. The bird resembled a seagull and was flying around in the sky and would swoop down every so often to scoop up whatever it could and swallow it. Whatever it trapped in it's beak would be able to be seen in it's massive bottom nest. Its screeched sounded like wheezing with a hint of 'cawing' screeching. When the Titans got there, Robin threw a bird-a-rang at the seagull; it stopped in mid air and attacked the Titans. It drove down and swallowed up the car that the titans were standing around. Cyborg and Beast Boy jumped out the way while Starfire and Raven flew into the air. Starfire charged up her starblot and shot a few while Raven used her powers try and grab it to throw it on the ground. Once there, Cyborg grabbed Beast Boy and threw him in the air, then Beast Boy turned into a dinosaur and smashed it to pieces.
"Woo, I thought I saw a putty tat!" Cyborg shouted
"Um that really doesn't apply here." Raven stated as she hovered towards the boys.
Meanwhile, Robin and Johnny were fighting to the death, well not really. Johnny had a metal pole in his hand that he was using to block Robin's attacks with his metal pole. When it was Johnny's turn to attack he took the wider of the ends and jabbed Robin in the stomach with it, he had the wind knocked out of him and flew backwards. The other Titans soon came, just in time to see Robin get thrown five feet away. Raven was the first one to check on Robin, she flew over and knelt down on the side of him. His breathing was off and he was wheezing too, "Ra-ven" he coughed. Not only that but he had a cut on his stomach too
All of a sudden Raven got on to her feet, "You bastard! How dare you!" turned and faced Johnny, "You will pay!"
"Oh no! I hurt the bird girl's boyfriend! What ever will I do?" he played sacristy
"Suffer…" Raven said before she readied her hands and lunged at Johnny. When she did she made a sort of hiss sound (like when a cat's pissed?) and tackled Johnny. As she started scratching him all over the place, the other Titans picked up Robin who was okay enough to watch in amazement at Raven, mulling Johnny to death.
"HELP ME! GET HER OFF! AHHH!" was all they could hear. But that didn't stop Raven, Robin had had enough. He ran over to her and grabbed her from behind and held her back, then walked her backwards, away from Johnny.
The others went to get Johnny, who was looking really awful, he had blood all over his body from wounds and cuts Raven gave him. His face had red lines everywhere and he was twitching.
"Raven…what, how, what did you do to him?" Robin asked letting her go.
"I don't know. I got mad...no I was pissed that he hurt you, and I guess I lost control."
"Like before? With Dr. Light?"
"Yeah like before…" she looked down at her hands to saw blood all over them, she could feel his flesh and blood in her long sharp nails. Her uniform smelled of dirt, oil and blood; she felt so dirty. Raven felt herself began to cry when she felt a green gloved hand cover her own. "Come on let's get you cleaned up."
Back At The Tower's Med Lad
"Okay wonder boy's fixed up and bird girl's got some 'splaning' to do" Cyborg said finish up Robin's wound.
"Look, its as I said I didn't know what got into me. When I saw Robin got hurt and that blood…I lost control, I'm sorry." She said putting her head down in sadness.
"Do you think it maybe because of your demon blood? Perhaps natural instinct to maim and kill?" Cyborg asked putting away medical supplies away. He just turned to Raven and saw that she looked even more upset then she was five minutes ago. "Um..."
"It's fine Raven, Johnny's not died and locked up so you can chill." Robin reassuring her from the med bed. He was still a little banged up, but managed to raise.
"That was wicked cool what you did to him though! He was all like, "Omg get her off me! Help me, help me!" Beast Boy mocked. He walked over and patted Raven on her on the back.
"Yes! Let us please make with the fun now!" Starfire suggested
"Booyah! Now that's what I'm talking about! Movie Night!"
"Come on Raven. You need a good movie after today…" Robin, in his own way, pleaded. He had made it over to Raven to convince her.
"Sure why not?" she said removing her hood. "As long as-" she said stopping to look at all the chalked color faces staring at her. "What? What's wrong?"
"Dude….you have ears!"
Raven: WTF?
BB: Hahaha.
Raven: Shut up
Starfire: Please everyone relax
Cyborg: Yeah Chill
Robin Besides...Raven looks hot like a cat
All: Shut up!
BBW: Please review
