This Chapter is the beginning of the reediting. I've added and taken away some stuff in the story that hopefully with make it better. Let me know what you think. A little warning some of the characters might be a little OCC.

As always, I don't own the Teen Titans nor do I own any other TV characters/real people mentioned in the course of the story.

"…..FIRE IN THE HOLE!!"

Silence…

KABOOM!!

The resulting shock wave from the explosion rippled through the huge hangar and was just strong enough to knock Raven flat on her ass.

Fire alarms squawked and people rushed forward with fire extinguishers looking for any errant fires that may have sprung up from the detonation.

Groggily, Raven gathered her legs underneath herself as a dim ringing started to sound inside of her ears.

She ran a hand through her hair as she slowly shook her head in an attempt to curb the ringing, which proved resilient to her efforts.

After a few attempts though it started to fade, as it did she glanced around the hangar to see if she could help anywhere. Just off to her left, two figures framed by camera lights, caught her attention.

"…and that is why you shouldn't introduce a just even a single spark into a container filled with pure oxygen."

"That's right Jamie, although it had a pretty wicked result as you can see, its very dangerous and it's a good thing we did in this hangar instead of the shop!" Adam Savage flashed his trademark grin at Jamie Hyneman then at the cameraman.

"Andddddd cut!…That's a wrap people!" A man standing behind the cameraman tapped the guys shoulder then looked at Jamie.

"We'll start the editing process yawn in the morning." The man stifled another yawn.

Jamie looked towards the entrance of the hangar as the fading sunlight spanned across the sky. "It is getting late, yeah that sounds fine."

He looked around then cleared his throat. "Alright people, lets get this equipment torn down and into the trucks then we can all go home!" A chorus of cheers from the crew met his instructions.

Raven grinned to herself and started to rise. She stopped abruptly when a hand was put in front of her face. She followed the arm attached to the hand and was met with a chestier cat- like grin from Kari Bryon.

A small blush worked its way across Raven's face as she took Kari's hand and felt herself rise to her feet quickly.

Kari kept grinning as she helped Raven to her feet. Raven's cheeks turned a bit redder at the attention he was getting.

"Are you okay Rachel? You got knocked around pretty hard." Kari slowly eyed Raven up and down then tried to lock her gaze onto Raven's.

Raven turned her head slight to avoid looking directly at Kari, something she wouldn't have done in the past.

"I'm alright. I was taken off guard on the amount of force something like could have. I definitely wasn't expecting to end up on my ass!" Raven finally met Kari's eyes with a grin and a giggle.

Kari laughed and hooked an arm through one of Ravens guided her to where the other crewmembers had started to get things cleaned up. As they walked, Kari started talking about the myth they had just busted and how Grant Imahara had almost lost an eyebrow earlier that day.

Raven felt herself start to loosen up slightly as she listened to one of Kari's bad jokes. It reminded her of someone she missed very much. Raven came back to her senses when she realized they were standing on the edge of the clean up and Tory Belleci was calling for Kari to help him.

Kari rolled her eyes and looked back to Raven. "Looks like I have to bail out wonder boy over there. But find me after everything gets cleaned up okay Rachel?"

A small blush crept back onto Ravens at the sound of her name face then she nodded. "Yes I will. See you then."

With another chestier grin towards Raven, Kari turned and jogged towards Tory.

Raven watched her go but there was a strong sensation growing in the back of her mind. She felt like she was being watched. She slowly scanned the busy cleanup to find the source of her discomfort. Her training in crime fighting quickly guided her to the source.

From across the site, Scottie Chapman was starring daggers into Raven. Raven felt her eyes narrow as she returned the glare then moved off to help out with the clean up.

OOOOoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sweat dripped off Raven's body as she helped a grip finish loading the last panel of Plexiglas into the back of the Mythbusters truck. She wiped some sweat away from her brow then reached up and pulled the rolling door closed and secured the door with it's lock.

She was about to hop down when a petite hand eagerly offered itself. Smiling, Raven accepted the hand and the help getting down.

Raven landed with a slight ump but quickly tensed and started to back away when she realized how close she almost landed on her helper.

The hand holding Raven's tightened and Raven stopped her back peddling. Kari's large and playful eyes captured her own. An image of familiar playful and large set of eyes flashed in her mind, which caused Raven's heart to skip a beat.

Kari gave Raven's hand another squeeze then slowly stepped towards her, gradually closing the space between them.

Raven shifted slightly as she found she couldn't get herself to look away from Kari's eyes. Just as she seemed hopelessly trapped, she finally summoned the will power to break the unseen hold and stared at the floor. She took a shallow breath:

"Ummm…thanks for the help down. Getting off the back is usually a pain in the ass."

Kari giggled and moved slightly closer. "Yeah, its bad on the knees, it'd be nice if we got one that had a lift gate on it."

Raven nodded then she felt her cheek grow warmer then looked back up into those eyes that reminded her so much of someone else.

"Hey, Tory is having a post-show party at his apartment tonight and I was hoping that you could make it. Maybe you could ride over with me." Kari used her free hand to nervously move a piece of hair that dropped before her eyes.

Raven missed the implications and how Kari nervously played with her hair.

"I dunno…" She gestured at herself. "I'm not exactly the cleanest to go to a party. And to spend time with you."

Kari just laughed. "I am too silly, my apartment is actually pretty close to his. So I figured we can swing by there and grab a shower. You can barrow some of my clothes for the night…I don't mind sharing." Kari finished the sentence with a wink and another chestier grin.

It finally hit Raven what Kari was implying like a ton of bricks.

Raven's face burned red as she finally understood that Kari was asking to her go with her as more than a friend. Raven's face burned as bad as one of Beast Boy's jokes.

'Wait...what? Why did I think of Beast Boy? It must be her eyes…they have the same eyes…' Startled by her train of thought, Raven quickly shut down that certain train of thought.

The uneasiness of her thoughts must have shown on her face because Kari tightened her grip on Raven's hand and her expression changed to one of concern.

"Are you okay Rachel? I didn't mean to be so pushy." Kari nervously moved another offending piece of hair out of the way.

Raven snapped back to the situation at hand and gave Kari a sad smile.

"No, I'm okay." Raven took a deep breath. "I'm sorry Kari but I can't go tonight. I have to take care of a few things later tonight." Raven held her breath to see if Kari bought her lie.

Kari's smile dimmed slightly as she took a small step backward but still held Raven's hand.

"I understand and I hope you have fun! But if you get to bored, just give me a call. I will always be here for you."

Raven was about to respond but Grant suddenly appeared and cleared his throat, letting his presence be know. Thankful, both Raven and Kari looked at him expectedly.

Grant turned slightly so he was looking more at Kari. "Sorry for interrupting, but both Tory and I need to steal Kari for a minute. The camera crew wants to do our intro segment again" Grant looked expectedly at Kari.

Kari sighed, "Well duty calls I guess. I'll be there in a minute Grant"

Kari looked back at Raven and gave her a big smile. "Please think about what I said, just give me a call if get things done early."

Raven smiled back at her and ran a thumb over Kari's knuckles. "I promise I will call if things get done."

Kari beamed then brought Ravens up to her lips and gently kissed her knuckles. Kari released her hand then turned to follow Grant to where Tory was standing with a huge grin on his face.

Kari looked back at Raven, who was clutching the hand Kari had kissed, and gave Raven a huge chestier cat grin and another wink. Raven smiled and winked back her before turning towards the exit.

Raven was still light headed from her encounter with Kari. It felt good to know that someone liked her and wanted to be with her. She was sad that she didn't take Kari up on her offer but she felt she would have been betraying Beast Boy somehow.

'Maybe I'm still not over him. Geez. It's been like four years or so. I just can't shake him out of my head.'

Distracted Raven almost ran right into Adam Savage.

"Whoa there Rachel." Adam gripped both of her shoulders to keep them from running into each other.

"I'm so sorry Adam, I was just distracted and wasn't paying attention." Raven's cheeks burned again out of embarrassment.

Adam just laughed and patted her on the shoulders.

"It's quite alright Rachel. I'll see you Monday then!"

Adam gave her a lopsided grin then moved around her, heading for where Jamie stood.

Raven called goodbye after him and then resumed her walk towards the truck she was supposed to drive back to the shop.

As Raven walked around the side of the Mythbusters truck to the cab, she again felt like someone was watching her. It was like someone trying to burn holes into the back of her head.

Spinning around, he quickly spotted Scottie again trying to stare her down. Raven returned Scotties glare and mouthed, 'Screw you.' Then proceeded to open the cab door and climbed in to begin for drive back to M-5 Industries.

Raven slammed the door with a certain amount of satisfaction.
