Age: 18? 19?

Summary: The television is broken, so is the training equipment. Half the team want a new television and the other half want new training equipment. But in order to get any of this, the majority of the team has to agree on it. So, how will the two sides try to convince each other to get what they want?

"We could get new training equipment, Garfield. Forget about the new TV, there's nothing wrong with the one we have."

"There is so much wrong with this TV, Donna! Have you been watching it! No you haven't! They don't have any channels that I love to watch. How am I going to watch TV or play video games?!"

"That doesn't have anything to do with—"

"Yes, it does! We need a new TV. I'll talk to Dick about it right now."

Garfield stormed out of the common room. Donna sighed shaking her head. Jaime rubbed her back.

"We do need a new television, Don. Just think about the number of times it's been hit with Garfield's stank balls. The poor television has been exposed to whatever held the stank ball together."

"I don't know Jaime. All the training equipment is either breaking or already broken. I just think that it is more important for us to stay in shape for battle, rather than to lounge around like Couch potatoes."

The door swished opened revealing Raven and Damian walking out. Raven turned to see Jaime rubbing Donna's back, her hands on her face, and sitting closely together on the couch.

Damian raised his eyebrow, "Did we interrupt something?"

Jaime answered for them both, "No, not this time…"

Damian nodded his head and left to the kitchen. Raven walked towards the couch sitting next to Donna.

She asked her, "Is there any reason why Beast Boy ran to Nightwing's room?"

Jaime answered, "Unfortunately yes there is a reason and it's a good reason."

Donna shook her head, "No, It's not a good one."

Raven furrowed her eyebrows at them and sighed, "What are you two talking about?"

Aqualad, who was sitting in front of the window, answered, "Beast Boy and Blue Beetle want a new television, while Donna thinks that the money could be used to buy new training equipment. I think that the money is better used for new equipment."

Donna sent a grateful smile to Aqualad. "Thank you, Jackson."

Damian walked back from the kitchen towards the others. He placed his arm around Raven's waist, "We do need new equipment. It's easily broken."

Donna and Aqualad nodded in agreement.

Beast Boy ran back in time hearing the comment and yelled, "We don't need more equipment! We need a new TV! Imagine how much better would it be, if we didn't have to worry about the television short circuiting or something. How are we going to be able to play video games?"

Raven raised her eyebrows, "You're the only one who plays them. Hell, you're practically the only one who uses the TV."

"That's not the point! What about you, how are you going to watch Pretty Little Pegasus?"

"That was one time."

"LIES! I've seen the recordings so many times."

Damian raised an eyebrow at his girlfriend, "Is that what you watch when I'm not around?"

Raven's usual pale skin burned red, she used her powers to grab Beast Boy and holding him up high by his foot. She ignored his screaming and pleading. She dropped him onto the ground.

"Fine! I think we might need a new TV."

Donna stood up, "But now it's three against three." She turned to look at Raven, Jaime, and Garfield, "Are you sure, it is wise to waste money for a new television?"

Jaime and Garfield nodded. Donna turned to look at the half-demon, "Rae?"

Said female nodded slowly, "I feel like we need a new TV, Donna? I understand that training is important, but some of us have powers to depend on. Also, Garfield pretty much blackmailed me into joining him. Who knows what else does that little green elf knows."

"HEY!"

Jaime whistled, "Wow Raven and Damian against each other! Good job, Raven. Taking charge and not siding with your boyfriend."

Raven raised her eyebrow at Jaime, "Do you want me to side with him?"

"No, it's okay."

"Thought so."

Donna looked around the room, "Fine. We're going to figure this out today and we'll tell Nightwing what we want by the end of the day." She walked towards the door. Before she exited the room, she turned to look at her friends, "I will not go down without a fight. And I will get new equipment. Come boys, we will discuss our strategies."

And with that, she walked out, Damian and Aqualad looked at each other and walked out with her.

"Its 3 against 3. We need to figure how to gain more members to our side!"

Jaime nodded his head to Garfield's statement. Raven rolled her eyes at him. Garfield noticed what Raven did, and jumped to her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and shook her.

"Raven! This is where you need to seduce Damian and bring him to our side!"

Raven rolled her eyes while she pushed Garfield away from her, using her powers to keep him on the kitchen chair.

"Seduce? I am not going to seduce him."

"You have to! We are goin' to beat them! We need a new TV!"

"Isn't there any other way to do ask them to change their minds."

"Please, Raven!"

Raven turned Jaime as a last resort, "Aren't you going to help me out or something?"

Jaime shook his head, "Lo siento Rave, but I gotta agree with Gar. I mean find a way to convince him to join us, so we could get the TV."

Garfield smirked at Raven. "Yeah Rae-Rae. Convince him in any way."

Glaring at Garfield, her powers tightened her grip on him.

"I, an Amazonian Princess, will not lose against Beast Boy. We need to figure out a way to get one of them to our side." Donna said as she paced back and forth the gym.

Aqualad looked at her as she paced and Damian just sat next to him playing with his katana.

She stopped pacing and turned to the two on the floor, "Do you guys have any ideas to convince any of them to change their minds?"

Damian shrugged his shoulders, "Why are you so determined to get this equipment. Don't get me wrong I think it's a great idea, but what's your reasoning?"

Donna sighed, "I don't simply want the equipment just to train and stay in good conditions. It could help us learn new strategies and formations to use in battle. It could also help decrease the number of casualties, Damian. And it could reduce the amount of injuries that we can get. I know how worried you get when Raven gets hurt don't you think this could help? Try to convince her, please?"

Aqualad nodded his head while Damian looked at her, "She is a stubborn person. It will take a lot to convince her."

Speaking up for the first time in the conversation, Aqualad tells him the same thing Garfield told Raven, "convince her in any way."

Walking towards the familiar path she takes every day, she stopped in front of Damian's door. Putting in the door code, she walked in the room noticing him on his bed, sharpening his katana. She stayed in her spot as the door shut behind her.

"Hey… you."

Damian turned to look at her putting his katana down, "Raven, what can I do for you?"

Raven felt like she stood there for years, but it's only been a minute that has passed. She heard the changeling's voice in her head, convince him in any way.

Silently inhaling, Raven walked towards him. With an attempt of a half-lidded stare, she swayed her hips towards him and seated herself on his lap. "I was wondering if you would…" She let her hand glide on his chest.

Damian raised his eyebrow at her, "Would what?" then stared at her lips. His arms wrapped themselves around her waist automatically.

Her lips moved towards his and he automatically did the same, but she let her lips hover a centimeter away from his just to stare into his jade eyes, she whispered, "if you would reconsider changing your opinion."

His lips then made a smirk, "On what?"

Using a low husky tone, "On getting a new television rather than new training equipment. I hear that there are other methods to keep yourself in shape for battling villains."

"What are these other methods that you speak of, Rae?"

Raven smirked at her boyfriend, "I know that you will love them."

He returned her smirk, "Will I?"

She silently nodded her head and captured his lips to hers.

Hours later, Raven exits Damian's room, said person behind her; she fixed her hair and leotard while Damian chuckles behind her. He puts his hands on her neck, lifting her leotard to cover the marks. "You might want to hide those." For the second time in this day, Raven's normally pale skin burned red. She slapped his hands off her. "We don't want Donna or Jackson to see how you tried to convince me to change my mind, would we."

They walked into the kitchen in comfortable silence. He went to get a water bottle out of the fridge and Raven stood next to him, leaning on the counter.

Suddenly remembering the reason why she went to his room in the first place. "So what do you think? Are we getting a new television?"

He closed the fridge door and opened the bottle taking a sip of the water. He then shook his head. He turned to face and he put the water bottle next to her and leaned closer to put his forehead on hers. "I don't think so."

Raven stared at him with a mild surprised expression. Her expression quickly changed to an angered one. "What do you mean, no? You used me for sex!"

Damian tsked, "No I did not. If my memory serves correctly, you came onto me. I was merely curious about these kind of methods you were telling me about." He placed his hand on her cheek and she unconsciously leaned towards it, with her glare. "I had no idea what you were insinuating in the first place, love."

She glared at her beau, "I hate you."

His Wayne trademark smirk appeared as he cooed, "And I love you."

She crossed her arms on her chest, "Will you change your decision, yes or no."

His smirk faded as he looked at her, "What do I get out of this whole thing?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "Whatever you want."

His smirk reappeared, "But I already have everything I want right in front of me."

"Azar, you're such a sap."

"It's official, we are getting a new TV!" exclaimed Garfield.

Jaime cheered as Donna and Aqualad rolled their eyes at Changeling's exclamation. Damian and Raven stood nearby their friends, watching the scene.

Damian asked Raven, "Are you happy that we're getting a new television?"

Raven shrugged her shoulders turning to face Damian, "I guess so, now I have the motivation of watching Pretty Little Pegasus when everyone's around. Plus, the screen doesn't have any scratches or questionable stains on it."

Damian nodded his head to her response, he turned to her giving her a sly grin, "Yes indeed, but also we get to do those training methods of yours..." Raven opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted, "After our five-hour training, five times a week of course. But I think you'd be exhausted after all that, right?"

She glared at him.

He walked toward her to get chest-to-chest to her, and whispered in her ear. "This'll help you keep up with me. Outside during battles or inside the bedroom."

Her response was a scoff and a punch to his chest.
