A/N I want to thank everyone who's reviewed, especially Elissar. Although I'd like to be improving, I'm glad that you think where I'm at isn't too awful. I finally started seeing where this one is going and I think that it's going to be an interesting way of looking at things…that is, if I pull it off without sucking.
Disclaimer – If at first you don't succeed, losing may be your style. This saying I found roughly explains my self worth issues. Most of these feelings of self hate come about as a result of me not owning the Teen Titans.
Nonsense – Awesuck: Something very good being ruined by something else.

"Last check before we get this into gear. Ready?"
"Ready."
"'K. Dinner plans?"
"Check."
"Movie tickets?"
"Check."
"Cologne?"
"Check."
"Don't use too much."
"I got it, Robin. You can stop telling me that."
"Knock it off you two. Back up plans?"
"Check."
"Escape routes?"
"Check?"
"Ride?"
"Check and thanks, Cy."
Cyborg looked at him gravely. "Just…don't hurt her."
"Check." Beast Boy smiled.
"Money?"
"Check."
Cyborg put down his clip board. "Alright then, looks like you've got everything you need."
"Just remember the game plan. Don't panic, say what you want to say right away, and pay attention to what she says." Robin looked thoughtful for a second. "And if things go bad, just remember the closest exit is through the vent straight over your head."
"I'll remember. Thanks, Robin."
"Then off you go!" Cyborg grinned as he gave a gentle push that sent Beast Boy flying through the air for a few feet.
"We'll be right here, just let us know what she said."
Beast Boy nodded and quietly walked out of Robin's room in the direction of Raven's. Cyborg shut the door and then he and Robin jumped to the computer sitting on the desk in the corner. Typing in a few commands Cyborg pulled up the hallway cameras as they followed Beast Boy's progress down the hall.
"What do you think his chances are?"
"Best guess?" Robin nodded. "Fifty fifty."
"That's about what I was thinking. They obviously connect on some level, but it's hard to tell if it's enough for Raven. She can be pretty solitary when she wants to be."
Cyborg shook his head. "It's not like that, man. She wants the same thing the rest of us want. If she thinks Beast Boy might be able to give that to her, she'll give him a chance."
"Shut up, he just knocked on the door."
"We won't be able to hear anything; Raven's powers have messed up the circuitry over there so bad that I can't fix it without tearing open a wall or three." Even with that said they both stared in a tense and total silence watching the scene unfold.
Beast Boy was fidgeting slightly as the door opened a little over half way. They could just barely make out Raven's form in the doorway. He said something and Raven nodded back as she replied. She looked away when he said something else.
"He must have just given her the compliment."
Robin smiled. "Wonder what he said."
"I don't know, but she must have liked it."
Raven's door was now fully open as the two talked for a while. Beast Boy looked more relaxed, and Robin could have sworn he'd just seen Raven blush.
"Did he just ask her out?"
Cyborg laughed a little. "Seeing as he looks like he wants to do that little victory dance of his, I'd say she accepted."
They watched as Beast Boy waved a goodbye to Raven as she shut her door. He practically skipped down the hall.
Robin reached over Cyborg and hit a few keys that caused his "Jump City's 10 Most Wanted" screensaver to come back up. Beast Boy walked in moments later.
"Dudes! She said yes!"
"My man!" Cyborg said as he gave the changeling a high five.
"Good work, Beast Boy. Let's go have a victory soda with lunch."
Unfortunately, a blaring alarm drowned out Beast Boy's answer.

A/N For those of you with a sharp enough eye, you may have noticed how I'm doing this story. It'll probably be more obvious after the next chapter, since I'll just out and out explain it then. Review if you feel you can contribute to the betterment of society on the whole.
