Jen: Hellooooooooo fan I'm here with…CHAPTER THREE! Three exclamation points for chapter three. Hahahaha! Dang, I'm hyper.

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. But I DO own a copy of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. And I've memorized five paragraphs of it! Yay! Seriously, though. Poe was a fantastic poet and anyone bored enough to still be reading this mindless babble, which has nothing to do with the disclaimer, should take a look at a few of his poems. Oh, and if you can figure out what the raven stands for and stuff like that, email me! I'd love to hear your interpretation of the poem. Wow, this is a long disclaimer.

Meet 'n Greet

The room fell silent as the doors swung open, revealing the Titans' new assistants fully packed and ready to go.

After much arguing, screams from Cyborg that the luggage was scratching the interior of the T-car, and yelling because someone was on top of someone and whatnot, Raven finally snapped. Then after more screaming, everyone decided that it would be best to take two trips. The first trip Cyborg would take all the luggage, two Titans, and two assistants. Then Cyborg would drive back and pick up the remaining three assistants. Starfire and Robin would fly home.

"Okay," Cy said, "Who's coming on the first trip?"

"Me." Raven said as she sat in the front seat.

"You too, Beast Boy." Robin said.

"Aw, man!" BB said, "But I don't wanna…"

"Since the two lovebirds are going home together, you gotta come Beast Boy." Cyborg interrupted.

"Yeah, since Star and I are…HEY!"

Cyborg and Beast Boy snickered.

"May I sit in the front seat?" Emily asked nicely.

"No." Raven said in a blunt tone.

"It's okay Emily." Beast Boy said, "Sit in the back seat with me and Bambi."

Raven's eyes widened, "Emily, front seat's yours."

Raven nearly ran into the back seat.

"Um…okay." Emily said, "Thanks."

'Um…okay. Thanks.' Raven mimicked Emily in her mind, 'Snobby little brat.'

After the T-car left and Starfire insisted that her and Robin keep Michel and Alyssa company, the four were sitting and talking.

"Interesting." Alyssa said to Starfire, "On your planet…Tameran, correct?…everyone is arranged to marry another? No one is allowed to choose their own spouse?"

"No." Starfire said, "It is usually the Grand Ruler who chooses for us. However, I have decided that next time I am to be married, it will be to the groom of my choice."

"Next time?"

"Oh…yes." Starfire said, recalling her last trip to her home planet, "It is quite a long story, but if you wish to listen…"

"Hold on one moment." Alyssa dug through her pockets until she found a small notepad and pen, "Go on."

Starfire began to tell her the tale as Alyssa took detailed notes.

"Psst." Michel said, "Robin." He jerked his head and Robin followed him a few feet from the girls.

"Starfire." Michel said, "She your territory?"

Robin was taken aback by the question, "Excuse me?"

"Starfire. The redhead." Michel pointed to her, "Is she your territory?"

Robin felt offended, "Starfire's not territory! She's a living, breathing…"

"Hottie." Michel said completely unaware as to how mad Robin was, "She yours or not?"

If there weren't so many people, Robin might have ground Michel into a pulp right then and there, "No, she's not mine. She's not anybody's! Starfire's…"

"You sure, man?" Michel asked, "If I go after her, I don't wanna be on your turf."

Robin almost fainted. Michel go after Starfire? Michel go after Starfire! MICHEL GO AFTER STARFIRE! Never! Not in a million years. Robin would never, ever let that happen. Michel was a punk who didn't care about Starfire, he only cared about how good she looked in a bikini.

Robin tried to keep his cool, "Michel," He said sternly.

"I like Mike better."

"Fine, Mike. You're Starfire's employee. You can't develop any kind of relationship with her. You can be a good personal assistant and stay away from her."

"The hell I can." Mike said looking Star up and down, "Man, she's got a great figure. Haven't seen one like that in awhile. Say, you got a swimming pool?"

"Hey!" Robin said and turned Mike to face him, "Don't ever think of her like that. Ever."

"Look, Robin." Mike said, "Maybe you and Star had a past, but from what you say, it don't look like you got much of a future. So I'm gonna move in. And there ain't nothing you can do about it."

Robin had had enough. He slammed Mike against a wall and bared his teeth, "Stay away from Starfire."

"That a threat, Bird Boy?" Mike asked.

"You're completely out of line. I'm your boss." Robin said threateningly, "And I think you're about to be fired."

"Actually, you're not my boss." He motioned to Starfire, "She is. And you better let go of me."

Robin hesitated, but let go.

"Good boy." Mike said under his breath as he walked to join the girls.

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

The car ride to Titans Tower was pretty uneventful. Cyborg made polite conversation with Emily and Bambi while Beast Boy poked at Raven.

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No!" Raven said with little emotion.

"But…but…" Beast Boy stammered, "Pleeeeeaaaaaase?"

Raven sighed, "No, Beast Boy."

"Fine!" He said, "I'll just…I'll just talk to Emily, then."

Raven shook her head and looked out the window. What the hell had possessed her to sit in the back seat with HIM? God, sometimes she could be so stupid and crazy…

'Yeah, crazy in love.' A voice said in Raven's mind. It was soft and dreamy.

'Oh, god. Not you again.' Raven thought.

'Of course it's me. Lo…'

'Don't say it.'

'You can't deny your emotions,' The voice told Raven in a more stern tone, 'You can't deny that you lo…'

"Shut up!" Raven said.

Everyone in the T-car stared at her.

"Um…Rae, no one was talking." Cyborg said gently, "Are you alright? You seem…"

"I'm fine." Raven lied, "Are we there yet?"

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Robin was pacing when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Robin?" Starfire said, "You are…okay?"

Robin smiled, then frowned, then smiled again, "I'm fine, Star. I just want to talk to you about something."

Starfire nodded excitedly. Robin grinned. He loved when she was excited.

"Your personal assistant, Michel…"

"Oh, he has informed me that he wishes to be called Mike." Starfire stated.

"Right." Robin said, "Mike, he…uh, has he…ever said something to you that struck you as…odd?"

"I cannot say that he has, Robin." She said, "Of course I have only just met him."

"Yes, but has he maybe, I don't know, touched you or…"

Honk! Honk!

"C'mon y'all!" Cyborg said. He had just drove up, "Titans Tower is waiting."

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

Cyborg, Boris, Alyssa, and Mike were at Titans Tower within twenty minutes. They were all in the elevator going to the main room. Instead of elevator music, the Titans' theme song was playing.

When there's trouble you know who to call,
Teen Titans
From their tower they can see it all,
Teen Titans!
When there's evil on the attack...

Alyssa raised an eyebrow at Cyborg, "This is…an interesting tune."

Cyborg shook his head, "Not really. Some weirdos with way too much time on their hands wrote it. Robin's idea to put it in the elevator. Always with the 'they made an effort to show us how much they like us. We should at least humor them.' Pfft. I usually take the stairs."

…Never met a villain that they liked,
Teen Titans
They got the bad guys on the run,
They never stop 'til the job gets done…

"No." Alyssa said, "This would be great for your fans to hear. Do you have it on CD somewhere?"

"Probably." Cyborg shrugged as the elevator came to a stop.

Everyone stepped into the main room. It was deathly quiet.

"Hello?" Cy said.

"Like, over here." Came a quiet voice.

"Look." Boris said pointing to the coffee table.

They looked to see Bambi and Emily quaking in fear under the table. One of Bambi's pigtails had come loose and all of her hair was thrown messily about her face. One of her white tennis shoes was missing. Emily's eyes were very wide and she looked as if she had just seen a ghost. Half of her pant leg seemed to have been torn off.

"What are you doing down there?" Cyborg asked bending down to see them.

"Um…hiding." Emily said timidly.

"From what?"

All of the sudden, there was a loud crash and then something that sounded like breaking glass.

"You're so dark and gloomy!" Came Beast Boy's yells from the hall.

"And you're an idiot." Raven shot back, "But you don't see me stating the obvious."

"Yeah? Well, you need to be more optimistic!"

"You need to be more pessimistic."

"Huh?"

Raven made a sound of disgust as she stormed through the doors into the main room, things melting and breaking behind her.

"Anyway, why do you have to be like that?" Beast Boy whined.

"Because I can. Drop it."

"No! You spend half the day locked up in your room! Then when you finally do come out, you never talk to any of us! You're always reading your creepy Elmer Fellan Doe books!"

"That's Edgar Allen Poe." Raven said, "And don't insult him. He's a brilliant writer and poet. Better than you could ever be."

"Oh, so you can insult Terra but I can't insult an old dead guy?"

"That's completely different. Poe's a gifted man and he never betrayed us or gave our arch enemy our weaknesses!" Raven's temper was rising, "Unlike certain other people."

"Shut-up!" Beast Boy said, "Don't say that!"

"Say what?" Raven asked in a mock innocent tone, "Say that Terra was an evil witch who got what she deserved? Say that she became what she always was: dirt! Say that we never should've…?"

"SHUT-UP!" Beast Boy roared.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, guys!" Cyborg bravely stepped between them, "Take it easy. We've got guests in the house."

"Uh…yes." said Alyssa, who was now under the coffee table with Emily and Bambi, "I think it would be a good idea to show us to our sleeping quarters now."

"I'm game." Mike said from behind Boris, who was crouched behind the kitchen counter.

Raven scowled, "You do it. I'll be in my room." She began walking.

"See? This is what you always do!" Beast Boy screeched.

He tried to walk after her, but Cyborg stopped him, "Let her go B."

"Fine." Beast Boy perked up, "Come with me ladies, I'll show you to your room." He wiggled his eyebrows.

Bambi giggled.

Emily giggled.

Alyssa cocked an eyebrow, "Indeed."

TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT TT

"Sorry you guys have to share a room." Beast Boy said as he entered the combination on the keyboard in front of the door, "It was kinda short notice."

"Access denied." The computer said in a robotic tone.

Beast Boy smiled sheepishly before trying to enter the code again, "Password's always a little hard to remember…"

"Access denied."

"Are your sure you know what to type?" Emily asked.

"Yeah…yeah." Beast Boy had no idea what he was doing as he tried to type the password in again.

"Access denied."

"Oh, for heavens sake!" Alyssa shoved Beast Boy out of the way, "What's the access code?"

"I don't think I supposed to tell you." BB said defiantly.

Alyssa sighed in an irritated way, "Very well. Have it your way. Cyborg set this, correct?"

"Yeah."

"What is this room usually used for?"

Beast Boy shrugged, "I think it's just a spare room that came with the tower."

"There are, like, spare rooms in this place? That people don't, like, go into?" Bambi asked.

"Of course." Alyssa answered even though the question was directed at Beast Boy, "This tower is over ten stories high and in the shape of a giant T. Dr. Stone…the scientist who sketched the blueprints for this building…designed most of it's nine hundred and seventy-six rooms to fill out the shape, not for living purposes." Alyssa typed something on the keyboard.

"Access granted. Welcome to Auxiliary Room Five Seven Three."

Beast Boy gaped at the raven-haired girl as she adjusted her glasses, "What did…but I…how…?"

"Simple," She said, "I took what I know about Cyborg and thought of what he would most likely use as a password."

"But you just met him!" Beast Boy said, then scratched his head, "What was the access code, anyway?"

Alyssa tilted her head and gave him an innocent look, "I do not believe I'm supposed to tell you that."

Bambi and Emily laughed.

"Your luggage is inside." Beast Boy said sharply.

"He is so cute when he's trying to be serious." Emily commented as the girls headed to their room.

"Trying to be serious?" Beast Boy said to himself.

When Robin and Starfire finally arrived, the team and their assistants had already begun eating dinner.

"What took you so long?" Cyborg asked with a grin.

"Oooh," Beast Boy said, "Did you stop to make out?"

Robin's face turned red. Not from embarrassment, as Beast Boy would have liked, but from anger.

Starfire merely looked confused, "Make out? Make out what? Were Robin and I supposed to decipher a code?"

Mike got up, "Not exactly, Sweetheart. You know what? Since you've been so kind, I will gladly show you what making out is."

Starfire smiled and was about to say something when Robin said something instead.

"That's okay. She can look it up in the dictionary." Robin scowled, "C'mon Starfire, I'll get you a plate."

Mike mumbled something under his breath about "birdie jerks" and how they weren't fit to be in charge.

Cyborg and Beast Boy still weren't satisfied.

"Well?" Beast Boy demanded.

"Well nothing." Robin said, "Leave it alone."

"Oh, please." Cyborg said, "You must have got some action."

"We can talk about this later." Robin said through clenched teeth.

"Yes." Alyssa agreed, "This is hardly a proper time to discuss Robin's personal life."

"Are you kidding?" Beast Boy said, "It's always a proper time to discuss Robin's personal life."

Alyssa made a sound of exasperation and rolled her eyes, "Very well."

Alyssa got up from the table and walked straight up to Robin so that they were eye-to-eye. She put on some rubber doctor's gloves. Emily and Bambi whispered to each other and giggled. Boris stopped shoveling food in his mouth and watched. Mike had refrained from mumbling long enough to know what was going on. Even Raven glanced up from her book.

"What are you…?" Robin began.

Alyssa spoke, "Say 'aaaah'."

"Aaaah?" Robin said opening his mouth.

Alyssa kept his mouth open with her hands and examined it, "Nothing." She said, "They didn't kiss." Alyssa sounded somewhat disappointed. She pressed her ear to his chest and looked at her watch, timing his heart beats.

"Uh…this is uncomfortable." Robin told her.

"Quiet." Alyssa in an annoyed tone.

"Robin, why do you allow her to do such a thing?" Starfire said in a tone no one had ever heard her use before.

"I'm not…"

Alyssa sighed almost angrily, "Nothing. His heartbeat is at normal rate exactly. He hasn't experienced any adrenalin rush or nervousness in the past half hour." She looked at his mask, "Hmmm…always mysterious, aren't we Robin?" Alyssa dug through her pockets, "Darn. Raven? I know this is a lot to ask but…would you mind getting my bag? It's leather. Right next to my suitcase."

"You can't go ordering Raven around." Beast Boy protested.

"That's not what I meant." Alyssa said looking hopefully at Raven.

Raven seemed to be considering it.

Robin noticed this, "Raven!"

"What?" Raven said, "As pointless as this is, if it'll get everyone to shut-up, I'll do it."

Alyssa smiled. Ravens hand had a black glow around it when she lifted it up and pointed her index finger at the floor. A black hole grew on the floor and a brown bag flew out of it, landing with a soft thump on the floor.

"Thank you." Alyssa stated and looked in the bag. She pulled out a pair of what looked like sunglasses, "Hold still." She said to Robin. She put them on over her regular glasses, pressed the side of her glasses, which made a beeping noise.

Cyborg and Boris' eyes widened, "You don't think those are…" Boris said.

"They can't be…" Cyborg added.

"Omnipotent Radiation Goggles." Alyssa said.

"No!" Starfire said excitedly, "Do they perform the task they were invented to accomplish?"

"Of course." Alyssa said pushing the side of her glasses some more, "I developed the technology used in them. They're my invention."

"What do they, like, do?" Bambi asked.

"They temporarily disengage certain atom's visibility, depending on how much radiation is produced." Alyssa answered.

Beast Boy, Mike, Emily, Bambi, and even Robin blinked at her.

"And that in English?" Beast Boy said smartly.

"They're X-ray vision glasses." Cyborg said, "They see through things."

Alyssa stared intently at Robin.

Robin's brain finally registered what she was doing, "Hey! Hey! HEY!" Robin turned around so she couldn't see the front side of him anymore.

"Honestly, Robin." Alyssa said, "I was looking at your eyes." She turned to face the group sitting at the table, "Nothing. He hasn't experienced any pleasure either. Just a few hints of lust, which I assume is merely teenage hormones."

Everyone gave a disappointed "awwww…" except Robin, who was too angry, Starfire, who was confused, and Mike, who was after Starfire and wasn't the least bit frustrated that nothing happened between them.

With a sigh and a head shake at Robin, Alyssa returned to her seat and everyone resumed eating dinner.
