The next morning the Titans woke up at the same time. They all went down to the kitchen to find Abel searching the cabinets. He took no notice of them walking in. Raven took it upon herself to get his attention.

"Sleep well?" she asked casually

"Didn't sleep," he replied, "I was meditating"

"You were meditating all night?" Robin asked, still thinking about his dream.

"Yes. I have a lot of power. I need a lot of control," Abel replied. He noticed that Robin was only half paying attention, made no mention of it.

"What are you looking for?" Robin asked as Raven opened the cabinet that contained her teabags.

"I was looking for-" he noticed Raven making her tea, and levitated a bag to himself, "That" he finished. This caught Raven off guard; she looked at him with interest.

"You drink herbal tea?"

"Breakfast, lunch, and dinner when I was in Japan"

"What's for breakfast?" Beast Boy asked.

"Bacon!" Cyborg answered. Beast Boy rounded on him and the two of them started their usual morning routine.

"Dude, do you do this on purpose?"

"Sometimes, yes"

It went on like that for a while, until Starfire butted in.

"Please, friends! We have a guest!" she indicated Abel, who was floating with his legs crossed and had an amused look on his face, "Perhaps he has a request for the Breaking of the Fast?" Beast Boy and Cyborg stopped wrestling on the floor and looked up at Abel. Everyone else looked at him as well.

"I'm good," he raised his mug, "Like I said, breakfast, lunch, and dinner," Starfire looked crestfallen. When Abel noticed this, he offered, "I could cook you guys breakfast"

"Oh, wondrous!" Starfire ran to him, and engulfed him in a hug. The Titans were baffled at how Abel wasn't suffocating.

"Dude, whenever she does that to any of us we turn purple!"

"I'm half Tamaranian, remember?"

"Oh yeah," Beast Boy said rubbing the back of his neck, "I forgot about that"

"So," Abel started, "I assume Cyborg wants bacon," Cyborg nodded.

"And waffles"

"Waffles," he started to make a list, adding bacon and waffles to the top, "Starfire?"

"I would like a bowl of the loops of fruit and toast with mustard of the honey!"

"Froot Loops and toast with… mustard," he said adding them to the list. The others shrugged when he looked at them.

"Beast Boy?"

"Tofu eggs and soy milk. How did you know she was talking about Froot Loops?" Abel opened the cabinet that contained the cereal. Froot Loops was all they had, "Oh"

"Raven?" he continued

"More tea"

"Okay. Robin?" he looked at Robin who seemed to find the wall very interesting, because he was staring at it intently. Beast Boy waved his hand in front of his face but, he didn't seem to notice. Abel took upon himself to bring him from his trance by surrounding his feet in black aura. Only Raven saw this, when she looked at Abel he smirked and flipped Robin upside down and held him there. Robin blinked and looked at Raven, who jerked her head at the newcomer.

"Care to join us?" Abel asked trying not to laugh.

"What?"

"Breakfast, Boy Wonder"

"Oh, uh, coffee's fine. Can you put me down now?" Abel flipped him right side up and set him down, "And don't call me Boy Wonder"

"Roger" Abel said with a salute, "Breakfast should be ready in half an hour," as the Titans returned to the living room Starfire asked

"Please, who is this 'Roger'?" Robin explained how it was just another earth saying. Abel turned to start breakfast and thought about what he had picked up from Robin.

'Boy Wonder has feelings for sis. I got the same readings from her too. This is interesting'

In the living room Beast Boy challenged Cyborg to game of Super Deep Space Racing 4. As the two started playing Starfire cheered them both on. Robin leaned against the couch and watched Raven from the corner of his eye. Raven, taking advantage of their grace-period, meditated. Because of her lack of meditation she couldn't feel Robin's eyes on her. Soon her mind began to wander to Robin himself. She had a mental image of him and she dived into it, adoring the feeling.

Robin watched her intently, unconsciously turning his head toward her. Her eyes moved behind her eyelids and a small smile crept across her lips. He smiled himself, taking her in. The way her chin length hair fell over her face, her beautiful smile; no matter how small. Her smile suddenly disappeared from her face, and Robin felt a little sad. Then she opened her eyes and Robin quickly looked away.

She was swimming in her thoughts of Robin when she realized she was smiling. She quickly set her face to neutral again and started to meditate. As she regained control of her powers, she felt someone's eyes on her. When she opened her eyes, she noticed Robin quickly look away.

'Was he staring at me?' she felt a blush rising.

'Is she blushing?' Robin thought, still watching her from the corner of his eye.

"Breakfast is ready," Abel said bringing Robin and Raven back to earth. They got up and walked to the table.

"Smells good" Cyborg said breathing it all in, "except for Beast Boy's stuff," at this Beast Boy punched him but only ended up hurting himself. Everyone took their seats. Abel had set up the table so Robin and Raven were sitting next to each other.

'Just an experiment,' he thought to himself as they sat down. Cyborg tried a piece of bacon and a smile spread across his face.

"Have you tried your Cooking?"

"No. I've never cooked before," Abel answered with a shrug. Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at him open mouthed. Starfire was too busy enjoying her meal, and Robin and Raven were to busy avoiding each others gaze to notice anything else.

'I bet he did this on purpose,' Robin thought as he stared into his coffee. He picked it up and took a sip, when he saw Abel over the rim of the mug. He was smirking at him, 'He did do this on purpose!'

Raven noticed this as well and glared at him. This simply made Abel smile more.

"So, who's older, again?" Cyborg asked, breaking the silence. It took Abel a while to realize he was talking to him.

"She is, by two years"

"You're fifteen?" Raven asked, still glaring at him.

"In three months" Abel replied, by the look Raven was giving him, he doubted he would live that long. When breakfast was over and the dishes were put in the sink, Robin turned to Abel.

"Ready to take me up on my offer?"

"Absolutely"

"The gym's this way," he led the way to the gym. When they got there, Robin stepped onto a large mat and turned to Abel again.

"You said you learned martial arts, right?"

"Yeah"

Robin took a fighting stance.

"Show me what you've got"
