Meru unlocked the penthouse door and stepped aside, allowing Raven to enter. Beast Boy followed her in, earning himself an unfriendly glare from the security woman. He gave her a weak smile before refocusing his attention on the apartment's interior. Its elegance was stunning, beyond anything he had seen before.

"I guess your mom is rich." He whispered as he looked around, still wide eyed.

Meru followed them in and closed the door behind her.

"Your penthouse has been kept ready, awaiting your return Mistress. It will be programmed to recognize your bio signature. Other than for your personal maid, Gayla, it will open for no one else."

"It needs to open for Garfield too." Raven deadpanned. Meru tensed up upon hearing the request.

"Yes Mistress, we'll add his bio signature to the computer. The bar should already be stocked. We can begin with the tour if you wish …"

"That won't be necessary, you may now leave. Inform me when my mother returns." Raven commanded the woman, who bowed to her before leaving.

Beast Boy wandered around the huge apartment. The living room alone was twice as large as the common room back home. Raven caught up with him and took his hand.

"Let's go find our room." She invited him. He grinned as they walked together.

"Rae, what did that woman mean when she asked if I was your first?"

"She wanted to know if you were my first husband."

"Then why didn't she say that?"

"It's just a convention Gar. The word 'husband' is redundant given the context of the situation."

"I should have figured as much."

As they made their way down the hallway they passed 4 identical bedrooms. Beast Boy peered inside the first one and was taken aback at how big and well appointed it was.

"Whose rooms are these?"

"They're the husbands' rooms."

He rubbed the back of his neck.

"I guess that kind of makes sense, they can't all sleep in your … I mean the Matriarch's room."

"They aren't allowed to enter her bed chamber. The Matriarch decides who she wishes to have intercourse with on any given night and has a rendezvous in his room. Once the deed is done she will return to her room. At least that's how it's done in theory."

As Raven finished her impromptu lecture they reached the entrance to her room. Once again the changeling was stunned by the sight the greeted him. The opulence was mind boggling, as was the octagon shaped bed. It was 20 feet wide and had a post in each of its eight corners that supported a massive canopy over head, giving it the appearance of a gazebo.

"So what do we do now?" He asked.

Raven levitated and glided over the bed, landing next a large pile of pillows at what appeared to be the headboard. She kicked off her shoes and removed her cape.

"Let's take a nap." She purred to her boy toy as she patted the space next to her.

The changeling smiled as he climbed onto the massive bed.

"Is this legal Rae?" He asked in jest.

"I'll make it legal." She joked back as they snuggled up together. They were rather tired after their journey and were soon asleep.

Robin flipped through the papers as he sat at his desk. As soon as Terra left he called the Mayor and asked him for a copy of the lease contract. He finally reached page 27 and as Terra had predicted there was indeed a clause that gave her and Slade access at any time between 7 AM and 9PM to inspect the Tower while the Titans resided there. As he tossed the contract on his desk his office door slid open, revealing Starfire's shapely figure.

The princess was just one month short of her 21st birthday. The years had passed by quickly and the Tamaranian's figure had matured and she had the curves to prove it. Raven was a whole year younger than the princess and she too had blossomed in a voluptuous woman. Deep down he didn't believe that the sorceress and the changeling had remained innocent during their nightly slumber parties, but he knew that it was none of his business. In any case he knew that it was only a matter of time before the two formalized their pairing. She hadn't taken him home to meet mother for the heck of it. His only worry was that they were right for each other. But that was his job, to worry about his teammates' wellbeing.

Robin's office was dark and except for the small banker's lamp on his desk there was no other source of light in the room. Starfire's silhouette stood at the doorway, teasing Robin with its inviting curves.

"What's up Starfire?" He asked, unable to hide the weariness in his voice.

"Cyborg has concluded his examination of the letter that Terra left in Beast Boy's room. He says that his instruments were unable to detect any eavesdropping devices or the boob traps in it."

"Booby traps." He corrected her. "So it really is just a letter?"

"That is Cyborg's conclusion."

"What do you think Starfire? Should we open it and read it?"

The princess walked over to Robin, who was still at his chair and sat down on his lap. She wrapped an arm around his neck.

"Cyborg believes that it might be a love letter." She replied. "If so, it would not be appropriate to read it as it would violate Beast Boy's privacy."

"Even if it's not a love letter there are ethical issues with reading it without his permission." He replied. "But what if she's threatening him, vowing revenge for becoming Raven's boyfriend?"

The princess ran her fingers through Robin's dark hair.

"I was most disturbed by Terra's demeanor Robin. It was as if she was a different person. When she was Slade's apprentice she was still herself, but now it is as if something has happened to her. There is something dark, something … evil about her that I cannot identify. Even Raven had a hard time reading her emotions. She said that Terra's mind was a 'closed book' and that she could not penetrate its barrier."

"Where is the letter?" He asked her.

"It is still in the evidence room. Cyborg is trying to scan it without opening the envelope, but it is proving to be a most challenging task as the envelope is lined with lead."

"She knew we would try to peek." He commented absentmindedly. He then looked lost in thought.

"They're going to be gone for two weeks. It might have important information in it. I think we should open it before they come home. Come on Star; let's go to the evidence room."

The princess nodded and reluctantly rose from Robin's lap. The two hurried out of Robin's office and made their way down the hallway to the evidence room. Cyborg was still trying to scan an image from the shielded letter as they entered the room.

"It's no use. I can't scan through the envelope." He informed Robin.

Robin picked up the letter and clicked a bird-a-rang open, ready to use it as a letter opener.

"We're opening it." He replied as he cut the envelope open.

The envelope contained a single sheet of paper that was handwritten in Terra's script. Robin read it carefully before addressing his teammates.

"Well?" Cyborg asked.

Robin sighed.

"It's a love letter, a really desperate love letter."

"Desperate?" Starfire asked.

"Pathetic is probably a better description. I felt embarrassed when I read it. She's begging Beast Boy to take her back, groveling actually."

"Robin, what will happen when he declines her offer? What will she do?" Starfire asked.

Robin handed the letter back to Cyborg for further analysis.

"That's a good question Starfire. At this point I have no idea, but I think we should expect the worst."

The two other Titans nodded in agreement.

Raven slowly woke up from her leisurely nap. The air in the room was balmy and she felt relaxed as she woke up.

Her head was resting on Beast Boy's shoulder while she wrapped her arm around his waist, and she moaned happily as she drew him closer to her. She couldn't think of a better way to wake up, that is until she hear the sound of someone clearing her throat.

Raven rolled over, carefully as to not wake her beau, towards the sound.

"Hello mother." She said with a hint of sleepiness in her voice.

Arella stood at the edge of the bed, her arms crossed and her frown was framed by her own violet hair. Raven sighed and sat up slowly so as not to disturb the changeling's slumber.

"I thought he was a teammate Raven." Arella spoke, her voice dripping with disapproval.

"He is mother. But he's more than that, a lot more." Raven whispered back.

"How much more?"

Raven stood up and led her mother away from the bed.

"I think he might be the one Mother."

"You think? You sure seemed to be cozy with him."

"We love each other." Raven continued to whisper. "I just wanted you to meet him."

Arella looked critically at the sleeping Titan.

"Why did you pick him? I think the masked boy is more handsome."

"Robin?" Raven spoke up. "More handsome? I think you might need eyeglasses mother."

"But Raven … he's … he's green."

"And I'm gray!" The sorceress snapped back at her mother. "I can't believe that of all people you would object to that. "

"Never mind Raven, I'm sorry I said that." Arella apologized as she shifted her weight back and forth between her feet. "So you really think he's the one?"

Raven nodded, while Arella scratched her head.

"Well, I suppose you have your reasons Raven … so have you two … I mean … have you been …"

"Intimate?" Raven completed her sentence. "No mother, we haven't. Gar has never even hinted at it."

"Saving yourselves for the honeymoon then?"

"Yes mother, I guess you could put it that way."

Arella sighed.

"What's wrong mother? I can sense that you're feeling uneasy. Do you have bad news?"

The violet haired Matriarch gestured her daughter to follow her out of the room. Raven complied with the request and followed her into the room that would serve as her office. Like the other rooms it was large and very well appointed. Arella closed the door behind her.

"Are you going to tell me what's going on Mother?" Raven needled her.

"You're my only heiress, Raven." The elder Roth finally confessed. "Without you the house of Roth is finished. Without an heiress the other Matriarchs could force me to liquidate my holdings and send me back to Earth."

Raven's eyes betrayed her surprise.

"Would they really do that?"

"They would."

Raven frowned at her mother.

"I didn't come back to claim my inheritance, if that's what you're thinking. We're going back to Earth mother."

Arella shook her head.

"Raven, Raven, you are Azarath's equivalent of the prodigal son."

"Not quite Mother, I didn't come back to ask for a job. I'm not the prodigal daughter."

"Then why did you come back?"

Raven paused before answering.

"I just wanted your blessing Mother. He's going to be your son-in-law some day."

Arella walked away from Raven, gazing through the large window at the view of Azarath from the towering heights.

"If it is that important to you then you have my blessing."

"So you approve then?"

Without turning around Arella replied.

"I think you could do better, but it's your choice to make daughter. I'll arrange for the wedding, we can do it next week."

"Next week?" Raven asked in surprise. "Aren't we getting ahead of ourselves here?"

"So what timeframe did you have in mind?"

Raven scratched her chin.

"I haven't really thought about it. Maybe in a year or two. Gar and I haven't really discussed it yet."

"That's going to complicate things." Arella replied.

Raven furrowed her brow as she puzzled over what her mother had just said.

"Raven, you know that if you aren't married by your twentieth birthday you will lose your rank as a Matriarch. And your 20th is approaching."

"So what? I don't want to be a Matriarch. I'm going back to Earth, remember."

Arella bit her lower lip.

"You know the law Raven."

"You wouldn't."

Arella looked briefly at her daughter before turning away again.

"You leave me no other choice Raven. If you won't marry of your own volition then I'll pick a groom for you and force you to marry him. I have the law on my side."

"You're picking a fight with the wrong Roth mother." Raven snarled.

"Then just marry the boy."

"You haven't even met him mother."

"Does it matter? You seem pretty smitten with him."

Raven sighed. "This isn't how I wanted it to be. It's way too soon. And our friends back home will be upset that they weren't present …"

Arella waved her objections away.

"You can have another ceremony when you get home."

"It's not the same mother."

Arella took a deep breath, calming herself in the process.

"What is his name, his real name?"

"Garfield, Garfield Mark Logan."

"I see." Arella said as she made her way to the door to leave. "Bring your Garfield to my apartment for dinner at 7 PM. I'd like to get to know my future son-in-law."

Without waiting for a reply Arella walked out the door.

"He's a vegetarian!" Raven shouted before Arella closed the door behind her.

Arella turned around.

"I know." She replied as she shut the door.

Terra slammed the door shut as she stormed into her penthouse apartment. She grabbed the first object she saw, a Ming vase, and threw it against a wall, smashing the precious artifact to smithereens.

"They never liked me, they always conspired against me. But if they think they can keep us apart they're wrong, they have no idea of how wrong they are."

Terra's phone chirped, indicating that it had received a text message. It was from Slade and simply said 'We need to talk'. Terra tossed her phone aside and sat down on the couch, still seething from the treatment she had received at the Tower. She still couldn't believe their insolence; they were hiding Beast Boy from her and even gloated about it.

She walked over to her workstation and opened a browser. She checked the global news wires to see if there was any news of the couple. Unless they were hiding in a hole in the ground they would be spotted somewhere, but after searching online for several minutes there was no sign of them. The eaves dropping system she had aimed at the Tower showed no signs of any sort of Titans network communications, not even encrypted messages. It was as if Beast Boy and Raven had simply vanished from the face of the Earth.

Terra continued to scan the logs the spy system had compiled since she last saw Beast Boy, but they were not very helpful, that is until she saw something odd.

A power surge had been recorded the day after she and Slade had visited the Tower. The sensor logs seemed to be confused regarding the nature of the surge. It certainly wasn't electrical or chemical in nature, and there were no radioactive signatures. It was as if it were … unnatural.

"Of course!" Terra shouted. "A portal, Raven opened one of her damn portals!"

Terra felt the excitement course through her veins as she was finally making some progress.

"She opens portals all the time." She talked to herself as her fingers danced across the keyboard. "So what was different about this one? Why was it so powerful?"

Terra stopped typing on the keyboard as the obvious conclusion hit her.

"She went home, the coward. She thinks she's safe there with him, out of my reach."

Terra's mind began to race as she tried to recall what little she knew about Raven, where she was from, who her family was, etc. She then grinned, knowing that Slade almost certainly had that information. She walked over to the coffee table and picked up her discarded mobile phone, hitting the speed dial.

"Slade, it's me … I agree, we need to talk … your place … dinner sounds good … I'll be there in an hour."

Terra grinned as she ended the phone call.

"Enjoy him while you can Raven. Where ever you are, I'll be there soon."

That was some good response to last chapter's game. You guys know your stuff! I think FelynxTiger came up with the most.

So this time we'll try another one: When Titans Eat!

Can you remember which Episodes where the Titans eat? The only requirements are that they handle the food. Sitting at the Pizza Place but not eating doesn't count. Examples: When BB eats two hot dogs or when Raven holds a nufu burger in her hands. They don't actually have to consume the food (I can only remember one time Raven actually chewed on something).

Bonus points of you can enumerate by character.
