Wow. I put the first chapter out and everything comes crashing into me like a wave. I wanna take this moment to respond to all of the reviews.

alchemists19: I'm glad you think so.
spideyxraefan: Thank you for drawing that picture. I have that and another one. I really like them, they're cute. And yes, I will do more.
Rider Paladin: Everything will be answered, and thanks for the love. Love for stories is very good. Actually, I have something special planned for the Wilson bros, but I can tell you one thing, they aren't a team anymore. Far from it.
wereguardian: Without being mean, what the hell? I think you have the wrong fanfic. But thanks for the review anyway!

Chapter II

Broaching The Subject

Beast Boy whistled innocently as he gradually made his approach to Spider-Man. Peter was testing out the density of his new web. He seemed to have made a lot of mistakes in the batch, as it first wobbled insanely, snapped in three places, and when Peter fell in a heap on the floor, it dissolved into dust and fell on him, making him look like a ghost.

As he coughed out the dust, BB started conversation.

"You seem... distracted, Spidey," he said, helping him to his feet. "Anything wrong?"

"No, nothing," Peter said, sounding frustrated. "I've never screwed up a batch before. What the heck is wrong with this thing?" he added, kicking up the dust in anger. BB was silent for a minute.

"Maybe... you need some something else to think about," BB said. "Like... I dunno... some feminine distraction?"

Peter didn't seem to hear him. He was running the dust through his fingers. Looking thoughtful, he stood up.

"Yeah, maybe," he said, then shook his head. "What did you say?"

Starfire floated in place opposite Raven, meditating silently. It was just one form of meditation Raven had taught Star. But her mind wasn't very empty right now.

"Um, Raven?" Star asked timidly. "If I may... you do not seem much focused on the meditating, no?"

Raven didn't open her eyes. She merely breathed in deeply, then sighed. Star's mouth almost dropped open in shock. Raven never sighed like that. Exasperated, yes... but never a sigh that suggested she'd been thinking of something... happy. More than happy.

"I'm focusing on something," she said, opening her eyes finally. A small smile curved her lips. Star actually did open her mouth, a perfect O. "That is meditating."

"But I thought we were supposed to empty our minds," Star stuttered. "If I may... what are you thinking about?" When Raven didn't answer immediately, she pressed on, confident in her knowledge she and BB had gleaned from their observations. "Whom are you thinking about?"

Raven blinked. She shook her head.

"Nothing," she said shortly. "No one."

"Say that again?"

BB repeated what he said, trying to keep the trepidation out of his voice. He had seen Spidey's super strength, and he didn't want to be launched across the room.

"I said, maybe you should go on a date," he said, slapping down thoughts of Terra that suddenly arose. "Y'know, meet some new people."

Peter was silent for a long time.

"Who would I go on a date with?" he asked. "It's not as if I know a lot of people here."

"That's my point," BB went on, immensely grateful Peter was at least considering it a joke, and not as a secret plot to bring him and Raven closer. "There's some girl out there that might give you focus. Let's face it, you've been really distracted lately. Maybe that's because you're single!"

Peter frowned. He actually seemed to take it as a valid point. But then the frown deepened.

"But there's the same problem," he said wearily. "I don't know a lot of people here." Something seemed to bother him, and BB could guess what it was.

"That's why I managed to fix you up!" he said, pulling out a ticket showing a fancy restaurant, with a pretty girl next to a table, her face blanked out. The banner across the top said "READY FOR A NEW ADVENTURE?"

"Oh dear God," Peter said, taking it. "Where did you get this?"

"I know a guy," BB said slyly. "Now, are you gonna grab hold of your life, or are you gonna mope around all the time?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Star kept from flinching at the harsh tone in Raven's voice. Her reaction to the blind date was expected, but not helpful. Star now had to convince her that it was a good idea.

"It is a date with a gentleman who is blind!" Star explained, then corrected herself. "Um, I mean, it is a date where you do not know the name or face of the gentleman until you are actually face to face!"

Raven was giving her a look that could have frozen a meteor.

"And what makes you think that I would want to go on a blind date?" she asked, her voice quiet, always a danger sign. Star hoped their long friendship would stop her from banishing her to the fourth dimension. "Do I look like I want to go on a blind date?"

"Well, you are more in control of your powers!" Star said hastily. "I would say that you should do it, that it is good for you! You are always looking to be more of a human being now that you can control your powers!"

"You're seriously using my powers as a basis for your argument?" Raven said, caught off guard. Star pressed the advantage.

"I think, if you were to go on this date of blindess, you would find yourself stronger for it!"

Raven looked off to the side, and Star had a feeling she knew what Raven was thinking about.

"If nothing else..." Star said softly. "Will you do it for me? Nothing would please me more than seeing my friend enjoy herself."

BB and Star slumped on the couch, apparently drained of energy. They looked at each other, then grinned broadly, giving each other a high-five.

"Excellent," BB said, rubbing his hands together. "Now on to Phase Two..."

Monster by Skillet. Look it up. Good song. Just saying.
By the wayski, this is gonna be a short story. Maybe five chapters. I just wanna establish Spidey and Raven's relationship before moving on to heavy, serious stuff. Just a heads up.

Oh, yeah, Bring Me To Life by Evanescense. Another good song. Listening to them while I type.
