Chapter 9,

In the common room, Cyborg had finished making the Titans' breakfasts, and he noticed a lack of bodies in the room.

"Where's Raven?" He asked as he set plates in front of Robin and Starfire.

"I have not seen friend Raven, today. Boyfriend Robin, have you seen friend Raven, today?" Starfire asked and Robin shook his head.

"Oddly enough I haven't. Since we are normally the first two to wake up, I thought we could train this morning, but she wasn't in her room or the roof, so I guess she went out." Robin stated in his normal matter-a-fact tone.

"Huh, that's odd. Oh, well, I'll go wake up green beauty, so just start eating." Cyborg said as he left the common room. The metal man smiled as he thought of how his girlfriend was going to visit the tower sometime after lunch. He hated not seeing Bumblebee but they both have jobs to do and that wouldn't change for a long time, but he can wait for her. Cyborg got to Beast Boy's door and walk in.

"Alright, grass stain, I got waffles and-" He stopped when his brain finally registered what was in the room.

Raven and Beast Boy were in bed together. Granted he was under the covers and she was over the covers, but they were still in bed together. They looked a lot like they did when they fell asleep on the couch. Both smiling, both happy, Beast Boy's arm around Raven to hold and protect her, the only real difference was they were laying, not sitting and Raven was on Beast Boy's right instead of left. Cyborg was frozen in place, and not sure of what to do. Raven gently nuzzled her head against Beast Boy and let out a quiet giggle, then Beast Boy smiled and gently tightened his grip around Raven. Cyborg blinked.

Raven doesn't giggle and Beast Boy- EW! Beast Boy is turned on.

Cyborg grimaced at his realization and backed out of the room and closed the door.

"Snap out of it, Cy, snap out of it. You were their age once and the situation isn't as bad as it looked. At least it better be, or I may kill Beast Boy. Raven is basically a little sister to me, but she is a smart kid she would never let Beast Boy do anything without her permission. But what if he did take advantage of her, especially with those stupid mind reading pills I gave him. Oh, Fuck, how am I suppose to explain THAT to Raven." Cyborg whispered to himself and let himself panic for a moment longer before knocking loudly on the door.

"Hey, BB! Breakfast is done so are you coming out or am I coming in?" Cyborg said loudly, but probably louder than necessary.

"I'm not decent, give me a sec!" Beast Boy said with obvious panic. Raven walked out of her own room and was wearing her uniform. She glared at Cyborg who was so shocked that she got ready so quickly.

"Must you do that? You could have woken the dead." She said in her usual monotone voice.

"Sorry Raven, just getting BB up. When he is out, then he might as well be dead so yeah, I got to be loud." He explained with the shrug of his shoulders. Raven started to walk away when Cyborg remembered something.

"Hey, Raven where were you earlier?" He asked making her turn around.

"What?" She almost sounded surprised, almost.

"Yeah, Robin wanted to train but you weren't in your room or on the roof. Where were you?" Cyborg said hoping that his little heads up sounded like curiosity.

"Book store then the Café." She simply said before disappearing from sight.

"Hey, Cy! Time for breakfast already huh? Let's go." Beast Boy said as he left his room.

"Hold up." Cyborg said grabbing Beast Boy's shoulder and turning him around.

"Is something wrong, Cy?" The green boy asked.

"Are you and Raven in some sort of sexual relationship?" Cyborg asked wanting to just cut to the chase. Beast Boy's eyes widened.

"Cyborg!" He said, shocked.

"BB, I walked in that room and saw you two in bed together." Cyborg stated and Beast Boy blushed but calmed down.

"Oh... That... Well... Raven had a bad dream... So she came to my room and we started talking... we just sort of... fell asleep... nothing sexual, promise." He said which calmed down the metal man in front of him. Cyborg let go of Beast Boy's shoulder and smile.

"Well, that certainly helps. Wait a minute." Cyborg paused and crossed his arms over his chest.

"You said 'nothing sexual' " Cyborg stated and Beast Boy nodded.

"Why did you say 'nothing sexual' instead of 'nothing happened'? Did something happen last night, BB?" Cyborg asked and Beast Boy rubbed the back of his neck. All of a sudden he started to laugh.

"Dude, I can neither confirm or deny any statement or anything for that matter." Beast Boy said and with the transformed into a bird and flew away. The breakfast table had it's regular chatter. Robin and Starfire were whispering and chuckling amongst themselves, Beast Boy and Cyborg were talking about videogames, and Raven was reading a book while she ate.

"Ah, well, how 'bout after breakfast we fire up 'Game Central Station' and brake in that new game we bought yesterday at the mall, BB? Maybe this time you can lose without crying your eyes out." Cyborg teased. Beast Boy picked up his plate and walked into the kitchen.

"Sorry, Cy. I don't think I'll have time for video games today." He said and this got the attention of everyone in the room.

"What do you mean by that, BB?" Cyborg asked and Beast Boy simply put his plate in the sink calmly.

"Yeah, I'm spending the day with Raven." He added in a nonchalant tone.

"You are?" Raven asked, looking up from her book. Beast Boy laughed and looked at her.

"Did you forget? I won the bet yesterday. I watched all seven of those scary movies without getting scared so I won. My prize is that you do everything I ask, within reason for one day." Beast Boy said proudly.

"Well, I don't normally go out, perhaps that is out of reason." She said looking down at her book. Beast Boy heard some muffled voices and remembered that he was losing the ability to read Raven's mind.

"Hey Cyborg, do you think that it's out of reason to go outside and spend time with a teammate?" Beast Boy asked directing all eyes to the metal man.

"Well, let's see. Raven may not like to go out, but she doesn't burn easily as far as I know. Spending time with a teammate won't kill her, but that teammate is you so it's 50-50. On the other hand, Raven can handle herself. She can beat off bad guys as well as any of us, so it's probably not out of line." Cyborg said and Beast Boy beamed. Raven closed her book and stood up.

"Fine, where do you want to go?" Raven said sounding annoyed.

"No, no don't get up, I got some things to finish before we go, so just relax." Beast Boy said before leaving the ops room. Raven stood there for a moment, contemplating on her situation. Finally she cleared her spot on the table and left without another word.

"Do you thing that friend Beast Boy has arranged for this bet so he could date friend Raven?" Starfire asked and Cyborg shrugged his shoulders

"Possibly. I asked him something about the bet before they started to watch the movies and he saw more then half or so of the ones on that list." Cyborg replied, and Robin rose and eyebrow.

"In other words, he knew that he was probably going to win the bet?" Robin asked.

"I guess, but honestly if he is going to put Raven through this whole ordeal then I hope that he has something special up his sleeve." Cyborg said.

"Does friend Beast Boy even know how to use the romance?" Starfire asked and Robin shrugged.

"I guess we will find out." Cyborg said.
