Previous Chapter:

Eric closed the door behind him and turned to the pitch black room. He knew someone was in here. Else, he wouldn't have sneaked into the back of the casino.

"Quit your act, already!" he yelled. The lights suddenly turned on and he was blinded for a second.

"You leave your mark?" a man asked. Eric glanced at his 'villain' suit he had made himself hanging on a rod in one corner, its black cape touching the floor.

"Yeah, they're bound to be here sooner or later."

"Excellent. Now, leave. Your part of the bargain is almost completed. Till then, you shall not have what exactly you seeked." Eric seethed and bit back the urge to walk up to the guy.

"Fine!" he snapped and walked out, slamming the door behind him.

"Fine, indeed." He lit his cigar and eagerly began to smoke it.

Chapter Four:

Raven sighed in the recesses of her dark, cool room. Stripping off the heavy dark cloak, she shuffled to her bedside and let herself fall with an unceremonious thump onto the mattress.

"-sigh- How in the seven hells did I manage to get into to this?" Turning her head slightly to face the partially open curtains, she watched as the sky began its descent towards night. Suddenly, a shudder vibrated through her. Closing her eyes, she allowed her senses to search out for the nearing presence. Her eyes snapped open.

"...Raven? May I come in? It's me...Terra."

"...What is your business, Terra?" she snapped, sitting up and fingering the small folder lying besides her. Silence was her response but she knew Terra hadn't left.

"...I prefer to talk inside. Can I?" Raven stood up and glanced back at the dark decor that made up her room.

'It's not like she hasn't been in here before,' she growled lowly in her throat and scooped up her cloak off the floor.

"Ra-"

"What?!" she snapped when the door suddenly slid open. Terra took a step back at the abrupt movement and cleared her throat.

"Um, hi."

"...Terra, I greeted you a 'good day' already. If you don't have any other business..."

"No! Wait!" Raven paused in closing the door and leaned further against its frame. "Look, Rae... I know this mission is going to be tough for you." Raven stood stiff and glared at her blond comrade.

"Terra," she warned.

"Raven, please. ... I know what you're going through right now." Raven gave an unladylike snort, crossing her arms underneath her chest. "Okay, maybe not really know what you're going through but," Terra sighed and stared into Raven's amethyst eyes, "Rae, I'm here to tell you that you should embrace this new feeling." Raven slid slightly down the frame, taken off guard.

"What feeling? You are not making sense, Terra." Thank the Gods for years of practice of making her voice emotionless.

"Come on, Rae," Terra gave the hall a glance and lowered her voice, "You confided to me, remember?" Raven suddenly grabbed Terra's arm and pulled the girl into her room, without thinking twice, sliding the door closed.

"I already assured you that that had been a moment of weakness. A mere phase!" she let her racing heart calm down before fully facing Terra. Said girl was glancing around the room, fingering a trinket here or there. Terra glanced back and shrugged.

"You keep telling yourself that and you might believe it one day." Raven's eyebrow twitched in annoyance and felt the edges of her black aura wanting to reach out and choke those words from Terra's throat.

'No, refrain from killing her...' she began to chant in her mind. She had left the habit of taking refuge in her mantra a while ago, finding to have better self control now. She did meditate now and then but it was not as necessary as before. She closed her eyes, sighed, and undid her cloak once more. 'Might as well get this over with,' she reluctant. She could force Terra out of the room, no problem there, but she... well, this may be the last chance her worse fear might be comforted by someone else that it does not really exist. Terra smiled and grabbed the single chair in her room, knocking down some books in the process.

"Oops."

"Never mind that now," she bit back the urge to clean up the mess in that instant but dug her nails into the palm of her hand instead. She slowly made her way to her vast bed, meeting Terra and the chair halfway. Terra offered a small smile and brushed back a strand of gold hair. "Speak."

"Boy, you don't make this easy, do you?" Terra began. Raven glared in annoyance and placed a large pillow on her bare lap. "Okay. Rae, you remember when you did confided to me, right?" Raven sighed softly and looked away, hidden underneath her purple bangs.

"I might of made something of that notion," she offered.

"Good. Well, I've sort of ... well, 'connected the dots' since then." Raven glanced back and rose an eyebrow.

"What dots?"

"Yeah. I mean, you hang together all the time. You spend your Sunday mornings reading on the same couch. Meditating when you want, on top of the Tower. Go out for cups of coffee. Are so alike its scary. I mean -"

"That does not mean anything," Raven warned. She really didn't like where this was going.

"Raven... face it. You'll be spending an entire week, maybe a little more ALONE with him," Terra emphasized with a wiggle of her eyebrows. Raven's face reddened, making her look down onto her mattress.

"You speak of it so freely," she mumbled. Terra looked onto her friend in sympathy and bit back the urge to go and hug her. Raven could be so small and fragile at times. "Terra," Raven found herself speaking once more, "I ... I live in the real world, well, as far as this real world goes, and I know deep down that this infatuation I have of him will come to pass." She gave a slight nod to show she was sure of her decision.

"But Raven. This 'infatuation' as you call it, it's been going on for months," Terra pointed out, "Maybe even years!" Raven closed her eyes, making her brows crease in frustration.

"I am aware of that," she opened her eyes and glared at the girl before her, "But I have decided to treat this as any other mission. There's no real reason for me to treat it otherwise."

"Yeah, right. Except this time, it'll be only him and you," Terra stood and began to walk idly around the room, "Alone, for a whole week. Hell, maybe in the same room." Raven's head snapped up and glared dangerously at Terra.

"Leave it be, Terra." Terra sighed and let her shoulders sag.

"Fine. BUT, it'll come back to haunt you, I promise." Terra held up her hand over her heart and the other facing Raven, promising the coming karma. Raven stood up abruptly and stopped sharply in front of Terra.

"There's the door."

"Fine. Sheesh, you can be scary when you want to." Terra joked, winking and left the room. Raven sighed in fatigue and took a seat on the chair, bringing her knees to her chin. She stopped herself and placed them down again.

'What am I? A teen once again?' she stomped over to her bathroom door and snapped on the light, 'I won't trouble myself over this ... thing anymore. Go to Trinity Conqueror, bag the bad guy, stop any corruption he may have going on and then come home. Nothing else.' She fisted the towel and gave the room a last glance. 'Best be getting ready anyway.'

Beast Boy fingered the rim of his hot chocolate cup and yawned out loud. Man, was he exhausted. And where the heck was Terra? Suddenly, the conference room's doors slid open and in came a beaming Terra.

"Hey babe!" Terra stopped and smiled at the changeling, walking over to him instead.

"Hey BB!"

"Where were ya?" He placed a slightly built arm around Terra's small waist.

"Oh, having a chat with Raven." Beast Boy rose a thick brow.

"Everything go okay?" he asked. He knew of the small anger sparks that still existed between his previous crush and current love of his young life. But things must have been getting better if Raven and Terra had managed a conversation for more than a few minutes.

"Super. I'm glad Raven and I talked." she sat besides him and stole his cup.

"Hey!"

Punch! Kick! Knee! Right! Left fist! Right! Left! Round house kick! Right hand punch!

Robin panted, leaning his arms against his knees.

'Fuckin' bastard,' he damned. He sniffed, wiped some of the sweat off his face with the back of his hand and stretched his aching arms. Nothing like a good work out to calm him down. And nothing was better than beating up the training dummy. He felt the mask slightly slip off the bridge of his nose and growled in annoyance. He ripped off the thin material and began wiping his face with the towel. Satisfied with wiping the sweat off, he looked up, catching his reflection in the shiny surface of the near by weights.

'Huh, talk about pale,' he fingered the area normally covered by the mask and traced its barely noticeable tan outline. The face of another took its place and he felt his face warm up.

'Pull it together, Robin, ' he coached himself, 'Leaders don't show weakness.'

"Hey Robin? You in there, man?" Robin snatched up the mask and placed it on, blinking it into place. Soon, Cyborg's face appeared around the glass double doors of the gym, the ever present smile on his face.

"What is it, Cyborg?" Robin called out, placing the towel around his neck. Cyborg walked in, his heavy boots clunking on the wooden floor. Robin noticed the usual smile fade away and a nervous-like seriousness take its place. Robin straightened his shoulders and began to walk to the table in a far corner. He could feel Cyborg's eyes on him.

"Robin. I wanna talk to you about somethin'."

"Shoot."

"...Its about...Rae," Robin stopped and glanced back over his shoulder.

"What's wrong with Raven? Is she okay?" he turned fully to face Cyborg, half of the gym between them.

'Did something happen? She was fine earlier,' he wondered, 'No, I would have felt something.' As a sort of assurance, a tingling shiver ran down his spine, followed by a warm pulsation at the base of the back of his neck, as if to say that strong bond still stood intact.

"Na, she's fine. Well, as far as I know." Robin's brows creased.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well... let me put it to ya this way." Cyborg walked to Robin's side. He placed a hand on his leader's shoulders and held his gaze. "I know somethin'. I can't tell ya what it is. You sort of have to figure it out on ya own ...uhm..." Cyborg sighed and again looked into Robin's mask, " Look man, promise me somethin'?"

"...Cyborg, what's going on?" Robin replied instead, a bit uneasy inside, though his voice emotionless as he had trained it. Another shiver simmered in his spine.

"I can't tell ya. I promised," Robin's curious facade dropped, turning in a scowl. Figures the team would keep secrets from him, "...Just..take care of Rae for me, 'k?" Robin nodded slowly, the scowl never leaving. He placed a hand on Cyborg's and took the half mechanical limb off of him.

"I've always looked out for Raven, since the beginning. Even went to hell and back for her, remember?" Both men shared a shutter at the horrid scenes of Raven's sixteenth birthday. "Don't need to remind me of that, Cyborg. ...For what it matters, she's tough. That shouldn't be forgotten. Tougher than all of us at times."

"Right. Just 'cause she's tough don't mean she don't need savin' some time."

"... " Robin, pausing for a second, shook his head and turned to the table, grabbed a water bottle, and took a swing. He stopped in mid drink, bottle still at his lips, to ponder.

'This is peculiar. What's wrong with Raven? Why the hell isn't Cyborg making any sense?' A spark in him began to emerge. 'The hell with this!' The spark in him ignited.

"What the hell, Cyborg? Why does Raven need saving?" he demanded, spinning to face the slightly older man behind him.

"Not now, at least." Cyborg mumbled, scowling. Something in Robin snapped.

"Quit the shit, alright?" Cyborg scowl deepened and crossed his arms, "Why do I need to look out for Raven?" He definitely didn't like to be left out in the dark. And if Raven was concerned in this...

"Look, Robin. ...There's just somethings between a big brother and a little sister that they don't share with others, even the best friends."

"And as a best friend," Robin turned his back on Cyborg, "You would tell other friends in case the friend in question needed help." It hurt his ego that the same people that he shared a home with for the past six years held secrets from him.

'Like you don't...'

"She doesn't need help!" Cyborg tossed his hands in the air. Robin paused.

"... Cyborg, you're not making sense." Robin reasoned, tensely, still not facing him.

"Just look, Boy Wonder," Robin flinched at the nickname, "I better not hear her complaining about you and your damn vampering (1) habits-"

"What vampering habits!?"

'What the fuck?' Robin wondered, feeling his face warm up, both in frustration and the insinuation.

"Damn straight, vampering habits. Don'tcha think we didn't heard Barbara complain about ya all the while you two stalked the flight pattern of the Saber?" The Saber had been a drug smuggler Batman had had a tip off of. He had sent Robin and Batgirl in an undercover mission, much like this the manner of this one, except Barbara had been a 'wife' he had married during a drunk stage in a small chapel a bit out of Gotham city zone. The Saber had been caught in the act and had been sent to Gotham jail afterwards.

'Damn, its nothing like this one. None of them are,' Robin sighed. Okay, he admitted that he liked to use his 'charm' to sometimes get what he wanted –

'Yeah, right. Only sometimes,' his conscience argued.

'Okay, yeah. I sometimes abuse it but – '

"Robin!"

"What?" he snapped. Cyborg slightly shook his head.

"Swear you learned even that from B – "

"Drop it," warned Robin. They had gotten off track. Cyborg cleared his throat, neither glare wavering.

"Did ya get me?"

"Loud and clear," he glared back.

"Good. Now, I'm holding onto your word. Come back with Raven hurt in anyway, and I swear," Cyborg rose a shaking fist, bigger than Robin's head , "Even though ya my best friend, I WILL beat the shit out of you."

"Didn't know you had to doubt my word," Robin turned, breaking the stare-off, still holding the water bottle.

"I don't. Just checkin' with you. " Cyborg paused and stared at Robin. Man, could they get on each other's nerves. Cyborg's shoulder's slightly sagged. He had gone in to merely warn the stony boy that was their leader and had now got him angered.

'Don't want to leave off in a bad side,' the older man pointed out to himself mentally and stared at the back of Robin. Robin felt the gaze and looked up into the reflection of a double sided glass, the room inside used for training instruction and testing.

"What's the matter now?"

"The edge of your mask is pilling off." Robin's bare hand snapped to his face and fingered the mask. How could he not have felt that one?

"Thanks." he felt the tension he felt earlier lessen between them. Cyborg smirked and waved, turning to leave. Robin watched him make his way to the doors to suddenly stop. "Cyborg?"

"One last thing," Cyborg moved forward, making the double doors slide open. He looked back over his shoulder. Robin nodded. "When y'all share a room together, be a gentleman and take the couch." He left.

THUMP went the water bottle.

Starfire smiled and ran a tanned finger down vertically at the package. It was beautiful. Her smile broadened as she lifted into the air, took it out of the closet and stood with it before the mirror.

'Friend Raven is sure to need this for the mission with Friend Robin.' Nodding to her reflection, she zoomed through the air, paused for the door to slide open, and made her way to Raven's room.

Raven groaned in content as she stepped out of the steaming shower. Quickly glancing at the sky through the tall windows, she noticed it almost night.

'Damn, I need to hurry up.' Using her black aura, she pulled the black duffel bag and suitcase from underneath her bed and levitated them onto the mattress. Shivering at the cool air in her room, she walked to her closet and pushed back the numerous pairs of uniforms that hung on the hangers to reveal the rarely used civilian clothes she had. Glancing nonchalantly at the small selection, she picked out several pairs of clothing she thought appropriate and took them under her arm. Another sensation ran up her spine. 'Who's it now?' she wondered.

"Friend Raven?" Raven glanced at the door.

'Starfire,' she named and tied the towel tighter to her body.

"What is it, Starfire?" she called out, walking to her bed.

"I have a gift I want to leave to you before you depart with Friend Robin," Raven's steps slightly faltered at the mention of her leader.

"A gift?" What was it this time? A bowl of Starfire's rare cooking? A poisonous plant she had mistaken for a beautiful flower?

"May I come in to deliver this present personally?"

"-Sigh- Why not?" Immediately, the doors slid open and in came Starfire, holding a body length like black plastic bag similar to a the material of a trash bag. Raven's curiosity got the better of her and turned to face the girl. "What is that?"

"Friend Raven! Presents are not supposed to be revealed by the person giving them!" Starfire floated to the bedside and placed it carefully on the sheets. Raven rose a brow in curiosity. A slight crunch like sound emitted from the speaker above Raven's bed board, quickly clearing to the sound of the Titan's leader's voice. They really needed to get a better PA system throughout the building.

"Titans, meet at the ground level of the building at five till nine. All will attend to discuss last minutes details. Robin out." The crunch and a muffled beep ended the command, leaving Raven's room in its eerie silence once again.

"I acknowledge that you have much to prepare for, friend Raven so I shall leave you in peace," Starfire gave her present a last pet and floated out of the room, letting a giggle slip out. Raven sighed and began to change. The sun was gone and in its place stood the magnificent moon. Raven gave it a furlong look before stuffing a piece of clothing in her bag.

Cyborg met Beast Boy in the hall, peeking at something in his gloved hands. He was headed to the sub-level of the building, when the changeling's curious hunched form over a box caught his eyes. It seemed at first like a defenseless box and the half mechanical man almost left alone, for it not have been Beast Boy's mischievous chuckle under his breath to have brought him back.

"Beast Boy," Cyborg drew out the name, in a warning. The changeling froze and sharply turned around, facing his teammate.

"What's up, Cy?"

"Whatcha got there?"

"Nothin'."

"Nothin' your green ass, I know you're planning somethin'."

"What makes you say that?" Beast Boy chuckled nervously, giving himself away.

"Why are ya hidin' that box behind ya?"

"Who's hiding?" Beast Boy pulled the box into his gloved fist and took it out view.

"You are."

"Phfftt," Beast Boy shrugged, "It's just a little present for Bird Boy before he leaves." Now Cyborg's curiousity was at its peak.

"Whacha gonna give 'im?"

"Something he'll need," he assured.

'And Raven will get a kick out of it, too.'

"Aw, damn. It's one of you lame pranks, ain' it?"

"No it is- lame pranks?" Cyborg rolled his eyes. He wasn't going to get anything out of Beast Boy. The boy did seem to know how to vier a conversation into the lamest topics. Cyborg's hand rose to make his point when suddenly, his built in watch began to beep.

"...We should head downstairs. Robin and Raven are about to leave." Beast Boy smirk sprang into a smile and he made his way around the mechanical man, springing into a run when the way was cleared.

Terra and Starfire walked through the elevator doors leading to the ground level floor of the tower. Robin was already there, a small duffel bag at his feet, his gaze concentrated on his communicator Cyborg had upgraded recently. His hands were fisted grabbing onto the device, nearly breaking the screen. He could finally accomplish what he had promised to do a long time ago. He could finally get his peace. Starfire paused as she caught sight of their leader, making Terra look up in mid conversation. Both pair widened as they landed on Robin's still lowered face. As of the moment, he wasn't wearing his mask. Thick eyebrows were barely visible over the high rim of the pitch black glasses, the protective lenses extending slightly over the sides to guard his eyes further from view. The elevator ding-ed behind them, but neither looked back.

"Sup!" Beast Boy entered, catching up with the two women. He saw their attention occupied and followed their vision line. "Dude!" Robin looked up, snapping the women from their trance.

"What?"

"..You're mask!" Robin straightened.

"Won't need it right now." He too hadn't worn the mask in previous undercover mission but never this much exposed as he was now. He usually wore, besides the dark glasses, a low hat of some sort or actual face make up, covering his real features from revealing his identity.

"...dude!"

"Beast Boy!" came the yell through the closed elevator doors. The twin doors opened to show Cyborg carrying a metallic box the size of a laptop, scowling at the changeling. Beast Boy eep'ed and hid behind Terra's shoulder.

"You got it?" Robin interrupted. Cyborg gave Beast Boy a last glance before meeting his leader's gaze. His eyes widened slightly at finding the mask gone, but didn't say anything.

"Yeah. I got ya'll ear pieces and other stuff, though I know police may hand you guys some equipment as well." He allowed Robin's glove free hand grasp the metallic box. Robin pried open the lid and examined its contents. He nodded in approval.

"I'm sure their equipment isn't as advanced as yours," Robin commented, his lips twitching to a small smirk. He too, didn't want to leave off in a bad angle with Cyborg. Cyborg nodded, smiling. The elevator once gain opened and in came Raven.

"Whoa!" Beast Boy's head peeked from behind Terra. All eyes shifted towards the approaching Raven.

"What?" she questioned, setting her bag down. Her eyes met Robin's, the pulsating sensation in their spine returning in an instant, making them look away.

'No mask...' the thought filtered in her mind.

"Nice look!" commented Terra, an approving nod coming from Starfire.

"Whatcha do, Rae?"

"A simple incantation was set to cloak my appearance," she shrugged, speaking of it as if it was an everyday normal event. Her skin pigment wasn't its ashen pale gray it usually were, but a faint, porcelain, making her still amethyst eyes stand out further. The dark blood red jewel usually embedded on her forehead was gone as well, and her tresses of deep purple gone, blended to a dark, pitch black. Robin studied her distracted face. Her features, her small nose, full lips, large, amethyst eyes remained the same, settling down his uneasiness of her change of appearance. "I supposed my true appearance might make me more noticeable in town," she spoke out loud, as if reading his questioning gaze.

"Raven!" Starfire floated towards Raven as Cyborg turned his back on her. "Did you bring the gift I have given you?" she questioned in a hushed voice. Raven's brows furrowed, nodding slightly. She hadn't opened it yet. The incantation had taken most of her time, so she had stuffed the present in her bag.

"Alright, so what needs to be said," Robin began after clearing his throat. He clicked his communicator onto the back of his belt, hidden underneath his thigh length black leather jacket. Raven arrived at his side, the group huddling practically shoulder to shoulder in a circle. "This mission may take a week, if not further to accomplish. The target has serious connections in town so he'll be hard to actually pin down. Finding him will easy."

"We'll take turns surveillance the city at night, as usual," Robin nodded at Cyborg, "Star has the first turn."

"Let the police handle smaller crime," Robin continued, his leader like tone echoing in the garage, "The whole team won't be here. Alert Raven and I if a large threat makes its way to the city. We'll see if we can make it. And I don't want any casualties." The remaining Titans were more than capable of handling burglars and other crimes but if one of their usual large villains came to terrorize while either of the Titans was away, the whole team was needed.

"Got it," Beast Boy gave a thumbs up.

"The police will be monitoring our moves in town and hotel's premises, so our 'costumes' will be on most of the time. Cy, look out for communication signals coming in and out of that building as soon as we send in the coordinates, the police included." Cyborg nodded.

"How are you planning on getting to the warehouse?" Terra questioned.

"I shall teleport us," Raven spoke up, remembered Robin's previous plan.

"Only make contact when an alert signal from our communicators is sent out or a call from a secure line. I don't want any snooping around from the police or anyone else to figure out who is in on the investigation." The pulsation was beginning to get to Robin. Raven's near presence made their bond go hay wire at times. "Be careful."

"Do not worry for us, Robin. We are more worried about you and friend Raven."

"Thanks Star," Robin smirked took a step back, breaking the circle. The rest followed , Raven stepping to his left side, parallel to them the rest of the Titans.

"Rob. Don't hesitate to call for help. Needless of messing up the whole mission," Cyborg added, growing serious for a minute. Robin tensed but nodded none the less.

"Hey Rob!" Robin looked at Beast Boy. The changeling suddenly tossed Robin a hand sized black small box. Robin rose a brow in question, making Beast Boy wink. Raven rose a hand, clad in a black turtle neck blouse and black sweater, and allowed her black aura to move their bags to land near their feet. The warehouse was around the corner of the police station. Raven had visited the station, so teleporting would not have complications.

"We'll be in contact as soon as we arrive," Robin assured, placing the box in his jacket pocket. The Titans nodded. Side-glancing at Raven, who met his gaze, he gave a small nod. Raven's aura wrapped around them, encasing them in black and allowed it to take its 'raven' form, shifting through the Tower walls and into the sky.

Johnson saw that the commissioner was heading out, along with a few men who were going onto the 'secret mission'. He nudged the commissioner's door with his hip, making the door creak slightly open. Peering down the hall, he noticed the coast clear and slipped into the office. The desk light had been turned off, cloaking the room in pitch black, excluding the open window. The moon wasn't enough to light the room. Stumbling towards the desk, he bit back the coward-sense nagging at the back of his head and felt for the lamp. The dull light turned on, illuminating the desk's top contents. Two folders laid half open, some of the paper edges sticking out of the manila holders. His fingers itched to peer at the papers, for he had overheard the chief mumbling about them holding the Titans' secret identities. His hand reached out. Suddenly, a swoosh-like sound increased rapidly towards him, barely giving him time to dive for cover at the approaching missile. His body hit the ground toughly, knocking his breath out of him. A sharp thud made impact with the desk.

"What the hell?!" he whispered harshly. Peaking his head over his shoulder, he looked towards the window, the shutters moving in the slight breeze. He saw no one. Gulping, he dared himself to grasp the edges of the desk and prop himself up on his knees. His eyes widened comically as they landed on the desk, making him snap his gaze back at the window. The folders were now gone, and in their place, sliced partially into the desk's surface, was a sleek, shining, razor sharp black Bat-rang.

Yeah, the Bats is looking out for Robin after all. Hmm, wonder why he didn't get involved in the mission?

Yeah, there isn't much mentioning and angst about or towards that Eric guy in this chapter. I mostly wanted to give you guys what was Raven's predicament and how she's feeling towards Robin. Might as well warn you guys, I'm a romance writer, more than anything else. So if all of a sudden, there's extreme fluff occuring, my apologies.

(1) don't confuse the word 'vampering' with 'vampiring', 'k? I looked it up and its sort of another word for teasing, flirting if you will. :D

Again soooooo sorry I didn't update for months! I was at a blank for this fic! And that I didn't have Internet for a while so that didn't help either. Hopefully, if you guys ask for it, next chapter will be up sooner. Hope this one isn't really confusing. Sometimes, I write nonsense.

So, you guys want Chapter Five or not? Just say so in your reviews. Oh, and don't worry, Raven isn't going to let Robin off the hook that easily. And what was Beast Boy's mystery black box all about? Let the 'couple' pretending ...BEGIN!

Till next chapter!
