(A/N) Kenji Star, actually, I don't think you keep coming back because it's a good story. I think it's 'cause I used your awesome story as a reference point and now you feel obligated. I'll take it. ;-) Mr. Jin, you didn't really ask a question, but I can at least explain why she's not obsessing over every little detail with her current beaus. First, she's an exceptionally reserved person. Considering her powers and how they work, she's probably that way with herself as well. Second, she hasn't really been in love yet…nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more.
Disclaimer: Dis – to put down or insult. Claim – to take ownership of. Er – a guttural noise used when one is thinking of what to say or when one does not know what to say. So, to do a proper disclaimer, you have to insult what you own when you don't know what to say. Sooooooo, STUPID PIECE OF CRAP PENCIL, I don't own Teen Titans.
The Annotated Raven – September 17th

I helped Cyborg with the filters today. I can't say what it is about working on a car that is satisfying, but something is. I can see, barely, why he's the way he is about that car. Anyway, while we were working and just kind of idly talking I asked him out. I said something like "So, do you want to go get dinner tonight with me?" He asked what we were getting for everyone and I told him it would just be him and me. He came out from under the hood where he had been putting in the air filter and gave me this funny look.
I can't really say what he meant by it. I couldn't tell if he was shocked, trying to think of a way out of it, or if he was insulted or creeped out. He looked like that for a little while, not saying a word till I said something. Finally he comes out of it and I could tell he was carefully choosing his words as he talked. He told me how he didn't understand why I would ask him out. He thinks I only go for guys who can appreciate dark poetry. Although that's not totally true, it is something I like. Anyway, he also said that it would be too weird for him since he thinks of me as his little sister, stupid Affection being right.
I'm not really upset about things not happening between Cy and me, just annoyed that Affection was right again. Of course, lots of people do stupid things and then admit that part of them knew it was the wrong thing to do, my parts are just a lot more vocal.
Actually, I'm glad he didn't accept. I hate to admit my prejudices, but I don't like his kind of guys. Tall is nice, but not that tall.
Since my love life is flat lining, I'll put in somebody else's good fortune. Starfire and Robin finally did something other than flirt and act like they didn't really flirt. It wasn't some big, climactic admission of undying love, and neither one asked the other out or anything like that. They just ended up close to each other and let go and kissed. Again, I'm jealous of Starfire, but at least I feel happy for her too. It'll be good for both of them. Robin can help her stop being so obviously alien and she can help remove that stick up his…Affection says I shouldn't insult my friends in here. It's not really an insult if it's true though.
Another thing, before I forget. I did get into the personnel files in the computer system. Robin being Bruce Wayne's heir was a bit of a shock, but Cy's name was actually kind of a let down. Victor Stone. He already used his real last name when he went undercover at the Hive Academy. Plus Vic is about as plain as Cy. At least my file was pretty empty. They only know about what I've told them. I guess that's part of the benefit of growing up somewhere other than earth.
So, the reason I've written so much is because I was hoping Affection would leave and I wouldn't have to put this next bit in. Then I could get back to my room before she caught me. So, since I've gone through the first two guys that I know well, that leaves one. Beast Boy. I can't believe I actually have to do this. Wait, Affection just left. Score one for me.

(A/N) I was thinking that it would be really funny if Raven just marched up to Cyborg and kissed him, but then I actually pictured it in my head and couldn't stop dry heaving. I'm not sure, but I don't think I would want them ending up as a couple. Too much big brother little sister action for me to believe it could work. Review as though your life depended on it…even though it doesn't. It's…it's not pathetic. IT'S NOT! Oh wait, it is. Don't review unless you mean it. Seriously. I'll, like, spit on your review if it's fake praise or manufactured put-downs.
