Hello, everyone!
So, this story has been a while in the making and I've taken quite a bit to have it all written out. Also, please excuse any spelling or grammar errors. My girlfriend is the one who has been editing (little by little when she has the time) the story. Sometimes, its just easy to miss out something. I really hope you all like this story. Questions, comments or concerns are all accepted.
Please be light with the flames. First story. My girlfriend is a Robin/Starfire type of girl so she didn't get so into it. I know characters might seem off but please, remember, this is my view of the characters.
Also, here's some backstory to help with the setting. Enjoy

This takes place two years after the Tokyo movie. Raven is currently nineteen and Beast Boy is eighteen years old. Raven is the shortest of the group nowadays, Beast Boy finally outgrowing her. He does tease her about it but she doesn't seem pay any mind. Starfire has grown to be the all around gal. Her looks make her popularity and her kind nature really makes her loveable. Robin, almost Nightwing, is growing a bit more like Batman but not as intense. Cyborg has been pretty much the same. The only difference is that he has taken a liking to wearing pants to cover his metal underwear. Finally, Raven has grown out a bit, not as apparent as Starfire but she gain an hour glass figure it's something she's found joy in

Early in the morning, Beast boy woke up smiling, knowing that today was going to be something else. His animal instincts told him that he should feel grateful and joyful for everything he had. They were right; for the past few weeks (ten, to be exact), he had been working in secret, getting gifts for the team. Above all, Beast Boy wanted them to know how much they had meant for him.

Today, he was going to show what he had learned. Various cooking sessions prepped him for making the meals. Different magazines and online reads helped him understand the people he lived with.

Today was going to be the best day for the Titans. He was going for it
Around six in the morning, Beast Boy woke up, almost beating Raven in the kitchen. She was always the first one up, preferring peace and quiet before anyone else awoke. It was the perfect time for tea and meditation.

Beast Boy knew this well. He had seen her awake early, starting her tea in the kitchen. There were countless nights were he stayed up, watching movies or playing video games. Early mornings he'd spot her prepping. Raven was silent, sometimes floating or other times pacing towards the kitchen machinery. If it were cold or raining, the empath would slink back into her room as soon as her beverage was ready. If it were sunny, she would be on the roof.

"Perfect," he said, glancing around. It was still early and Raven was not around just yet. He started the teapot, waiting for the water to boil. Patience was never something he prided in. Yawning, Beast Boy leaned forward, his dark eyes glaring at the kettle. "I'm so sleepy. But Rae…she's gonna love this."

A few minutes later, the teapot started to shriek, giving him the signal. He jolted awake, grabbing Raven's favorite cup (a purple little thing with green bubbles; he had gotten it for her as a gift some time before). She wasn't one for sweets but the boy couldn't help but add a small bit of caramel syrup into the hot water. Brown sugar and half & half were added into the mix before he placed his favorite tea. It was sweet but he hoped it wouldn't ruin her appetite.

As he placed the bag into the mug, the padding began. Beast Boy panicked, his form clenching. "Shoot!" he gaped. "She's up earlier then usual." Dropping the bag and spoon in the cup, he jumped onto the couch, pretending to sleep. Raven entered, glancing about. She felt a presence but everything was at ease.

Eyeing the couch, the woman raised a delicate brow. "Odd," she grumbled, voice still muddled with sleep. She padded towards the kitchen, glancing at the table. A steaming cup of tea was set in front of her. She took hold and took a sip, licking her lips. "New." She felt at ease, her lips quirking slightly upwards. The random cup of tea tasted good.

"That's my favorite. Tea Sundried Peach."

Moving around the room, Raven finally took notice of the changeling lying on the couch. He looked at peace, sleeping without a care. Oddly enough, the TV was not on, the Gamestation wasn't even move form it location. Her cheeks flushed pink as she took note of him; his shirt had risen. Beast Boy was well in form, just like any Titan should be. She took note of his arms, her eyes slowly travel down to his abs and dip of v from his pants.

Maybe when he's sleeping or not talking, he can't be so bad. He's rather attrac-…Nope. Nope. I did not just think that. I'm just here for my tea.

Taking another sip, the soothing sensation ran down her throat. "Oh Azar," she sighed, "This tastes so good. The best tea."

In the mind of the Empath…

"Knowledge, if you can remind me to ask Beast Boy how he made this?"

"Will do! Is it kind of surprising that Beast Boy has quite the skills with cooking?" Knowledge asked

"He's quite the stud," Lust noted, her eyes glossing over, " He might even be better looking then Aqualad. That's really saying something." She bit her lower lip, cheeks heating up.

"Let's go before he wakes up," Timid said, tugging at her cape.

"Raven, you should lay next to him! I bet he's really warm and fuzzy and he'll be happy if we do! We might all be happy if we do!" Happy started, jumping with glee.

"No! No no no! Let's not do that! I can't do that," Timid replied, slinking to the ground, trying to cover herself with her cape.

"We could do this, ya know? I believe in us," Brave commented, arms folding over her chest.

"It's too early for this. Keep it down guys."

"Beast Boy got up early and made you some pretty awesome tea. He's probably too tired to go back to his room. You have to give him some credit for that," Love said, pouting.

paused, sighing softly to herself. It was somewhat true that over the past few months, she and Beast Boy had become somewhat closer. Everyone in the Titans was close; they were family. But Beast Boy had gone one step above them. A few times he had claimed that she was his best friend. Then again, everyone in the Titans was his best friend.

For the past few months, Raven and Beast Boy had actual conversations now. Sure, some arguments but it was something. They could argue over random things, which would result in something a bit more violent. It was fun in the end, resulting in a mess in the common room. Now a days they will be in the same room having little chat session; nothing too big. Beast Boy had grown on her; this she could really admit. Her friends, all of them, had definitely grown on her.

'Love… Please not this again. He's my friend nothing and more. I told you that it's pointless! Plus, it's not what I want.'

Lust instantly had an evil smile on her face. She paused before asking, "Than why are you leering all over that sweet six-pack of his. Come on, Raven! I know you want it. I mean He the reason you felt me to begin with!"

Raven's eyes widened, her cheeks starting to flush

"Oh my Azar," Timid said, closing her eyes. The other emotions started to giggle, Rage still silent. She watched on, having nothing to say.

Raven quickly looked away from Beastboy, making her way to the door. She still couldn't rid herself from the blush crawling over her pale skin. Making her way to the roof, she sighed softly, sipping at her tea. Perhaps it would calm her emotions. It seemed to work wonders, her headache slowly waning away.

Raven glanced upwards from the roof, the sun dancing over the horizon. The colors started to paint the sky, red hues slowly quieting to a deep blue. Today was cloud free, offering her a view of the landscape. Raven felt at peace, taking small sips of her lukewarm tea. As she finished the cup, Raven started to float, finding her center. Now was the perfect time to meditate.

Beast boy woke up from his power nap, eyes slightly dry. Rubbing his head, the changeling sat up, glancing around the common room. Sniffing around, he noted that the tea was gone, the scent replaced with lavender. Beast Boy smiled, knowing Raven had taken her morning cup.

"Hope she likes it," he mumbled before rising. He made his way back to the kitchen, ready to make breakfast for the Titans. "Now that the hard part is over, its time for breakfast." With two hours left, he got to work.

Scrunching his nose, Beast Boy held his breath. He hated meat. The smell, texture and just the thought of where it all came from disturbed him. But he was grateful for his teammates; his family. He wanted to show his thanks to them. At the end of the second hour mark, he had prepared waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon, and toast with a large batch of coffee. For Starfire he had set aside a large cup of mustard. As the food continued to steam, he washed up the dishes, setting aside another cup for Raven just in case.

Groaning, Best Boy failed to notice the other Titans jumping into breakfast. Cyborg had his mouth wide open, stuffing his face like it was his last meal. Starfire was halfway through her mustard, her plate full with pancakes. Robin leaned in, talking to his girlfriend. Hugging a cup of joe, the boy wonder kissed the alien's cheek.

Yawning, Beast Boy stretched, walking back to the common room. It wasn't long before the other Titans were done, making their way to the couch. They could tell it was him; Raven couldn't cook and no one woke up that early. He closed his eyes, waiting for sleep to take him.

The elevator door swung open, Raven floating into the room, empty cup in hand. Cyborg started to wave, a large grin over his face.

"Yo Raven! You have to see this; somebody just made my day.

]She remained silent, making her way to the kitchen. Glancing over, she noted another cup, still warm. There was still some leftover food; she prepared herself a plate. Starfire flew over to the changeling on the couch, poking at his cheek.

"Beast boy fell asleep! Perhaps he'd like some food too! I shall wake him," she giggled, poking at him. "Beast boy…? It is I, Starfire. Would you like some of this delicious food?"

He groaned, swatting at her hand.

"Its too early for food right now, Star," he grumbled, tilting his head away. Starfire giggled. It took a few moments before he sprang up, glancing at the remains of breakfast. He grinned, his eyes still tired. "I made all of that for you guys! I just wanted you guys to know how much I appreciate you. You're my family after all."

"Wait, you touched meat?" Cyborg asked, "You did this? The perfect bacon, for me?" Cyborg chewed down another slice.

"Yeah, I did."

"But all the meat! All this bacon, for us?!"

"Well, for you, yeah. But I'm not going to eat it. Or probably cook it ever again, I think. I just wanted to show you I love you guys. You don't know how much you guys mean to me."

"Well, it's delicious," Robin remarked, Starfire nodding along. He had finished his plate, dropping it off in the sink.

"Oh this bacon. BB, what did you do with it?" Cyborg groaned, closing his eyes in bliss.

"Oh, this is wonderful, Beast Boy. I am most thankful for the meal!" A cup of mustard was added to the sink.

"Beast boy?" Raven asked, arching a brow at him. He was still half asleep at the couch. "How did you make this tea?"

"Uh well…I can't really tell you, Rae," he responded, "It's kinda a secret, ya know?"

"Why?"

"Cause I wanna be the only one to make it for you." He grinned at the empath, causing her to flush. She glanced down at her second cup, hood blocking her eyes.

"Just tell me."

"He was up before you?" Cyborg asked, shocked once more, "You really thought of everything today, BB."

"I'm done with my tea," Raven mumbled, pushing away her cup.

"I have some other plans for today. No worries, Cy. Today doesn't end with this awesome breakfast."

"Like what?" Robin asked.

"Nope! Can't tell you. That'll spoil all the fun," Beastboy replied.

"Oh, I can hardly wait. Today is going to be a great day! Thank you, friend Beast Boy!"

"Just going to take a quick nap," Beast boy said, getting up. He yawned, waving goodbye to his friends. He stepped into his messy room, instantly falling into bed, fast asleep.
Beast Boy rested for a bit but he was up in a few hours. Raven was reading at the end of the kitchen table, keeping to herself. Robin and Cyborg were at the couch, having an argument, game controllers at hand. Starfire sat nearby her boyfriend, watching away, giggling at their antics.

"How about we all take a trip to the mall?" he asked around, gaining their attention. "My treat!"

"You've got to be joking. Since when do you have the funding for that?" Raven snorted, burying her nose deeper in her book.

"I've been saving it up," he replied, huffing.

"How?" Robin asked, dropping his controller. "You don't have a job as far as I know."

"I've actually taken a few odd jobs. Its taken some time but I have a bit saved up for this. Again, my treat if you want."

"Lovely, friend Beast Boy. I had seen some of those short of the skirts that I wanted to try on," Starfire replied, laughing, clasping her hands together. Robin made a face, his cheeks growing hot. Starfire turned to her lover, eyes wide and bright, "Can you join me, Robin? That would be most helpful!"

"Y-yeah, Star. I can do that."

"I bet you would, boy wonder."

Robin froze, flushing more. Starfire flew out of the common room, going towards her room.

"Well, Rae? You wanna come?" Best Boy asked, approaching her. emIt shouldn't be so bad to ask her again. I just wanna know…?"

"Why are you doing this for all of us?" Raven asked, her book snapping shut.

"Just wanna see you smile, Rae," he replied, looking at her eyes. He grinned at the girl, hoping for some reaction. She glanced back before standing up.

"I could use another book."

"Great! We'll all meet up at the elevator in an hour. I think that's enough time for everyone to get ready. Did you want another cup of tea while we wait?"

"Are you going to tell me how to make it?" she asked, setting her book down, her voice monotone.

"Nope."

"That's your final answer, Beast boy?"

"Yeah. I'll have a cup ready for you."

"Beast boy, don't…I..."

"Its Raven and not Rae. I know. I also wanted to be the one to make you this awesome tea. It's just something small to hold onto. Makes me proud whenever you ask for it."

In the mind of the Empath…

"Isn't he the awesome mind reader?!" Happy gasped, jumping around the emotions.

"You're making a big deal out of nothing!"

"But at least we get a new book to read! So the time isn't wasted," Knowledge responded, smiling softly.

Timid sat on the floor, covering herself with her cape. "I would like some tea," she whispered, "We all love tea, Raven. Would that be okay to have? And the new book..?"

'Why do you all appear when Beast Boy is around? This is getting rather annoying!'

"You were looking, I couldn't help but to pop up. Everyone else just followed," Lust responded, sighing softly. She could still picture a sleeping Beast Boy. It made her cheeks flush. "He's really not so bad looking!"

"I don't like him like that. He's just a guy! That didn't come out right, did it? No, he's not cute. He's not attractive like that, Lust. Stop talking. You're all giving me a headache again.

"Why don't you just talk to him? Just let him know. I don't think it'll do that much harm," Love suggested, pouting her lips.

"He's not seeing anyone else. That much is obvious; he spend all his time with us and the other Titans!" Envy finally said, flailing her arms.

"It would be for the best," Wisdom remarked, "Take the chances while we still can."

"He made tea and breakfast for us!" Happy piped in, gaining everyone's approval. "That tea was the best!"

'I don't care. He doesn't matter…not like that with me.'

"But you are curious," Knowledge remarked, a book appearing in her hands. She smiled softly, "And that's enough to just ask."

Best Boy started to notice a slight change with Raven. She rubbed at her temples, groaning softly. emHer head must be full of emotions/em he remarked. Offering her tea, the changeling took a seat back.

"You home?" he asked, waving his hands in front of her. She snapped out of her trance, hands tightening over her cup. Her cheeks flushed and she moved back, gaining her space.

"Are you okay, Raven?" he asked. Raven paused, glancing over his smooth features. Oh, he had grown.

"I'm fine, Beast Boy," she replied, her voice low. She took a sip of her tea, hoping it would calm her nerves. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Well, you keep rubbing your head. It's usually your emotions up to something, right? I remember all of them talking at once; it must be a pain."

'How does he know? He didn't just say that. He did not just say that!'

"Excuse me? How would you know?"

"Just drink your tea before it gets cold, ya? It'd be sad to see it go to waste. I'm sorry if I'm prying. I've just seen you walk around, talking to yourself. I figured it was them. I still remember the time Cy and I went into your mind. Its hard to forget something like that," he paused, leaning back in his seat. A smirk spread over his face. "It usually happens after I say or do something dumb. Sorry if I upset them or something."

Raven coughed, setting her cup down. The empath shook her head, lips shaped into a frown. She didn't have a response to him. Lately, she hardly had anything to say back. With her mind conflicting constantly, Raven resorted to silence and a glare.

"Lets tell him! Happy responded, bouncing in her mind. "Its so mean that we just stay silent all the time! C'mon, Raven. Please?

"I think I'm just gonna leave you alone, Rae. Sorry if I'm creeping you out or something." Best boy stood up, waving goodbye as he walked off. He figured it would be best to get ready for the trip. Raven seemed like she wanted time for herself. Raven huffed, standing from her seat, her hands clenching. Her emotions were really sending her into overdrive.

In the mind of the Empath…

'I am not that predictable!'

"I don't even know anymore. He's known us for a while," Envy replied, glancing at her nails.

"Twice in one day that Best Boy blew our mind!" Happy added in, giggling, "That's a new record, right?"

"I think three, actually. From the tea to knowing about us," Knowledge corrected, a book in her free hand

"Grass stain needs more credit then I give him."

"Oh hush, Rude! He's so handsome and dreamy! I mean, look at him. He's so grown up over the past years. So not a grass stain!" Lust replied, sighing softly. Her cheeks grew hot, a grin spreading over her lips.

"I wonder what he knows about us," Timid mumbled, "He knows when we're talking. Does he know much of us are there?"

"Maybe you should talk to him, Raven? I think it's best that we know what he knows," Wisdom suggested, "It can be an interesting outlook."

"Its kinda puzzling now that I think of it," Knowledge said, pouting, "I'd like to know how he figured it out."

"DON'T, RAVEN!" Rage spoke, her voice booming, "DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! JUST SNAP HIM AND HALF."

"Calm down, Rage. He's not a creep. He's our friend!" Brave responded.

"He cares for you, Raven. For all of us. I think that explains everything."

'I'm creepy and dark, dangerous at best. He's so bright and happy. There's no way nothing can happen.'

"Just talk to him."

"It's not that simple.

"It is, Raven. He's one of our best friends. Remember? We're all family."

"Bring him in to this world, Raven. Bring him in tomorrow and we can talk to him."

"Definitely not. Out of the question!"

"Actually, that's a great idea."

"We can keep him safe! And it will get some answers for us!" Knowledge explained. Love and Lust nodded, instantly agreeing. "I'm sure Rage can keep things in check, right?"

'I said no!'

"If you do this, we'll leave you alone for two weeks!" Brave said, offering a deal. Raven paused, almost giving it a thought.

'No.'

"Three weeks then?"

'NO!'

"A month! That's my final request! I think that's fair."

'A month? One month and he gets only one hour with each of you. Just one!'

"Now that's not fair!" Happy pouted

"Two to three hours once per day. I think it'll help you get used to him. Which will be a bonus for us," Envy argued.

'We will discuss this later. I'll agree to all of this as long as Lust and Rage promise to not do anything to him. Is that understandable?'

"Raven left her emotions to ponder, getting out of her trance. Today was definitely going to be a long day. The empath groaned, rubbing her head. She needed more tea.

"Whilst waiting for everyone to gather, Raven went to her room. She sat down on her bed, prepping for her day out with the Titans. They were family but this was different. Beast Boy was the one hosting this little event; it was his treat.

""And why do I care so much about this?" she grumbled, adjusting her cloak. A knock interrupted her thoughts. "Who is it?" she asked, slowly opening her door.

"Its me, Beast Boy," he said. "I just wanted to check up on you. I'm hoping I didn't freak you out back in the common room." He paused, rubbing the back of his neck, "I just wanted to…yeah. Make sure. I also wanted to make sure you're still coming. Everyone is basically ready."

"I'm not mad at you," Raven responded, shaking her head. She opened her door a bit more, revealing herself, "I'm surprised you figured it out. I didn't think you knew this much."

"I didn't know how to bring that up," he said, laughing softly, "It's not something I just can say."

"You'll just have to make it up to me," Raven said, walking past her room. She smirked, glancing at the green boy. He gulped, falling back.

"Wait? What do you mean? What do I have to do?"

"Do you want to meet them?"

"What? Meet who, Rae?"

"Raven frowned, making her way to her room. Beast Boy quickly followed, the door sliding to a close behind him. He watched her circle the room, silent and broody as per usual. She took another step, stopping at the center.

"My emotions have a lot of questions for you, Beast Boy. So much that they would like to have some alone time with you. I think I'll be nice enough to accept." She stepped towards her mirror, the same one that Beast Boy had stumbled upon years ago. "As long as you're okay with it, of course."

"Wait…Why would you allow this?" he asked, "Why would they even want to talk to me? Me, of all people."

"We have a deal. You talk to them, get to know them a bit and…they will leave me alone for a month. Free of headaches and thoughts."

"I think that's fair. What would I have to do?"

"Why agree so quickly?"

"Cause I want to help? Anything for you, Milady," he said, winking at the empath. She smiled softly, feeling a bit more relaxed.

"Alright. We'll work on this over the next few days. Every time after lunch you'll go into my head for a few hours; no more then three."

"So, we're going to hang out with different emotions everyday? That's kinda cool. Don't know if I can keep up with that time limit."

"We'll see about that. You never know what Rage could do."

"Eh. I wouldn't want to deal with her again. I remember from last time; she nearly killed Cy when we first met her. Had four eyes if I remembered correctly."

"Really you okay with that but Rage can easily kill you with out trying."

Beastboy with a smile on his face ask. "That the one that has four eye red eyes and almost kill Cy and me in you head right."

"Yeah. That's the one."

"I've also seen her a few times when I've made you mad. Still gives me the willies."

"I feel like you're trying to get somewhere. Get to it."

"Well, you still look really cute when you're angry. So I think I'm okay with dealing with that." He winked at the empath, earning a small blush. "And you made an agreement with her, yeah? I think that'll be enough!"

Raven expected an outburst from her emotions. Surprisingly, there was none. "Apparently not. I guess you shall be fine."

"Have some faith in me," Beast Boy mumbled, running a hand through his hair. He took a seat at the edge of the bed, "Raven, I promise to not let you down. You have my word with that." He glanced at her, meeting her gaze. There was a pause, the air tense. Raven was the first to break away, her cheeks flushed with emotion. Beast Boy sighed softly, looking away.

"What's the second thing I have to do?"

"Let's just get back from the mall before four. I think that would be enough for me to have time to meditate."

"Well, anything for you, Rae. You know that." Beastboy exited the room.

She flushed again.

In the mind of the Empath…

"So, that went well, I think!" Happy giggled, jumping around. Knowledge walked up to the gathering girls, a book in hand.

"I'm not surprised, actually. We should arrange the meet ups, however. A good order for when he visits."

"Oh! I'm going first!" Lust stated, her cheeks flushing, "I know exactly what I want to do!"

'I don't think so. We have a deal, remember? If you continue like this, I will seal you away and no one will know where you went. You can only talk to him, nothing else!'

"Alright, alright! Geez, you're so uptight; you ruin all the fun!" she replied with a pout, arms crossing over her chest.

"Can I go last? It'll be awesome if I can!" Love asked, raising her hand.

'Why?'

p"I…I just wanted to ask one last question. If anything, I just want to talk to him before he has to go. I promise to not do anything."

'That should be fine. Love can go last. Does anyone have any suggestions for their turn? Who wants to go?'

"Perhaps it would be best if you picked, Raven? It should prevent any future conflict," Wisdom suggested. A sigh echoed through the area.

'Alright. We'll start with Happy, then Rude, Wisdom, Envy, Timid, Knowledge, Lust, Brave, Rage and Love will be last. Is that all clear?'

Raven got a yes form most of the Emotion.

'Good. Now, keep quiet.'

Beast Boy had left Raven alone for a few minutes. She took the time to prep herself, deciding to wear something casual. Glancing at her wardrobe, the empath groaned, walking towards her door. She needed Starfire for some advice. Grabbing her communicator, she stopped at the door.

"Starfire, are you there?" she asked.

"Yes, friend Raven! What can I help you with?"

"I need your help with something. I…"

"You look displeased, Raven. What is the matter?"

"Can you…Can you help me pick out an outfit, Starfire? I don't know what to wear to the mall," she garbled out, her cheeks growing pink. Starfire squealed before the communicator dropped. Seconds later, she was at the door, floating around, waiting for Raven to open up. Raven stepped aside, the door sliding open.

"Oh Raven! I had always wanted to do the girl dressing with you. Just give me a minute and I will help you with the clothing. I promise to not disappoint, friend Raven."

Raven rolled her eyes, watching her best friend fly around, glancing at all the clothing left around. "We just need to have some rules, alright?" she said. Starfire paused, looking back at her, "I just want to look nice. Something nice for me, okay? Nothing to colorful, okay?"

"But Raven…If that is the case, where did these come from?" Starfire asked, tanned fingers holding up lingerie. Bright green and barely there; Raven yelped, grabbing at the lace. "I see here you have a lot of the inner wear…and its green. I had thought your favorite color was black or purple. Is it not?"

"We'll discuss this another time," Raven replied, grabbing all her inner garments, "I had just thrown those around when looking for something to wear. Let's just focus at the task at hand."

"Yes, Raven. Let us begin." Starfire glanced around, humming softly to herself. She started to grab at things, laying them out on a clean part of the bed. She placed a pair of dark bell-bottom pants, a blue long sleeved shirt and a part of simple dark heels to match. Raven glanced at the attire and tried it on. She used her large mirror to take a glance.

"It's weird seeing more of me," the pale girl remarked, turning to the side, hands on her hips. "But, not bad. I kinda like it, Starfire. Thank you."

"I would thank friend Beast Boy, actually. He was right."

"Right about what?"

"Well, I had asked him what he had thought of the team once," she mumbled, taking a seat on the bed, "He said he loves all of us. We are his family; I can see that for I feel the same. He said that each person had given him something that he never imagined to have. Robin helped him become a better hero, Cyborg made him a better person and gave him understanding. For me, I had given him a taste of something foreign and acceptance. But with you, friend Raven…He had said you had helped him understand what true beauty means. We have all seen you hide in your cloak. Sometimes, for a moment, we see you without it. But you look beautiful. Please, do not forget how you look."

Raven was silent but there was a clear smile on her face. She tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "He really said that, Starfire?" she asked. The alien princess nodded, a grin spreading over her face.

"Of course. He said that the cloak is one of a wonder of the world."

Starfire stood, straightening herself. "You have a minute or the two before we must go. I will see you then, friend Raven." Waving goodbye, Starfire left the room. Raven felt herself relax, her heart thumping rapidly in her chest. She felt a little at peace; happy for sure.

I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter! I'm not sure when the next one will be available but hopefully in less then a month. It all depends on when the editing is done (she's typically really busy). But again, questions, comments and concerns are welcome.

Please be light with the flames. I promise to get better!
Till next time!
