Authors Note- Hi there, I'm back with another BBRAE story. For those who have read my previous fic, this is in no way a sequel to my first story but I may put in some tiny references to my first story as I loved it so much. I'm just sort of playing about with an idea here but I'm hoping to develop the story as best as I can. Anyway, enough talking from me, happy reading! (Reviews are always welcome!)

Chapter 1- Another Girl

August 21st, 9:03am

"Detective Logan, can I see you in my office?" The Captain's voice called from his office.

Garfield Logan rolled his eyes and stood up making his way from his desk to the Captain's personal office merely five feet from his workspace.

"What's up Captain?" Garfield asked coolly. He knew exactly what "was up" but still found it was polite to ask first.

Captain Grayson folded over the paperwork on his desk and looked up at the detective.

"No tie?" He asked noting that the detective indeed was not wearing a tie with his plaid shirt.

"Uh… I was in a rush this morning, heh" Garfield answered nervously.

The Captain nodded, "understood. So as you know I have been interviewing many candidates to replace your old partner, Detective Terra, and I'm pleased to tell you that I have found someone."

Garfield shuffled on the spot. He didn't like the idea of a new partner, he had been so comfortable with Terra and they had worked so well together over the years, he still didn't understand how he didn't spot she was a spy sooner.

"Trust me Logan, this one won't treat you the way she did" The Captain reassured.

"So who is my new partner?" Garfield enquired curiously, glancing at the paperwork on Grayson's desk.

"She's on her way here now" Captain Grayson waved his hand dismissively.

Garfield raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Oh, another girl that's… That's cool"

At that moment the elevator doors pinged open and Garfield left the office, ready to meet his new partner.

(Scene Break)

Raven Roth stepped out of the notably unclean elevator into a tiny bullpen. There couldn't be anymore than six desks, each sat two detectives maximum at them. She could see an office squashed at the back along with a briefing room and what looked like a break room.

It was still better than her old precinct.

She spotted a man, with golden blond hair heading towards her. A taller man with black hair and a suit followed him.

The blond boy waved at her, smiling, "Hey there, I'm-"

"Detective Logan" She said in a serious voice.

He seemed shocked, "Uh… Yeah… I'm Garfield Logan"

The man behind him put out his hand, "I'm Captain Dick Grayson, welcome to the Precinct"

"Great" Raven said shaking his hand sternly, "I'm Detective Roth"

"I'm sure you received a copy of the case file I sent you Detective Roth?" The Captain asked while Garfield stared at his new partner, terrified and curious at the same time.

He took in her black hair, angled around her face, with what looked like purple dip dye painting the very ends. She was wearing tight black trousers, a black vest top and a black leather jacket.

She didn't carry any emotion on her face.

He didn't even know her first name.

"Yes I did Captain. I've read through it all and I'm ready to get to work" Detective Roth's voice brought Garfield out of his stare.

"Welcome to the squad" The Captain said and then dismissed her.

Detective Roth turned to Garfield, he believed for a second that she might be striking up a conversation but he was let down, "which ones my desk?" She asked.

Garfield scratched the back of his neck, "Uh, this is your desk…" He said as he walked towards his own desk and pointed to the seat across from his own.

He had looked at that empty seat for months now, and the thought of it being filled by someone else pained him.

"Right there" he said pointing at the seat.

"Okay" was all she said, sitting down and turning the computer monitor on.

"Uh… You got a first name?" Garfield asked, attempting to bond in some way with his new partner.

"Yes" She answered flatly.

"What is it?" Garfield pushed on.

The detective looked up at him, violet eyes burning into bright green, she was clearly pissed off.

"Raven" she said, staring challengingly at Garfield.

Garfield felt like he had accomplished something, and he smiled, "cool, like the bird"

Raven ignored him.

Garfield busied himself reviewing the file: mass robberies, drug ring, missing people, mystery leader.

"Booyah!" Garfield heard the familiar whoop of his Sergeant.

Raven looked up, her eyebrows furrowed as she watched a large man walk into the bullpen, holding a cuffed boy in front of him. The boy in cuffs couldn't have been any older than fourteen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've caught the little criminal who thinks it's funny to create dangerous gadgets and sell them to even more dangerous criminals, what is it you call yourself again? Oh yeah, Gizmo" The large man shouted, making sure the whole precinct could hear of his victory.

He put the boy in the holding cell and then made his way over to Garfield to high five him.

"Great work bro!" Garfield congratulated his friend.

The Sergeant cracked his knuckles in front of him, "Ah it was nothin'" he laughed and then spied Detective Roth who had returned to her papers.

"And who is this newbie?" The Sergeant chuckled.

"Oh, uh this is Detective Roth, my new partner" Garfield said.

Raven lifted her eyes to meet The Sergeant's, "Detective Raven Roth" She corrected Garfield.

Garfield was stunned at her ease at telling The Sergeant her name but it seemed so much of a chore to share such information with him.

The Sergeant leaned over the desk, extending his hand, "Sergeant Victor Stone, pleased to meet ya'"

Captain Grayson appeared from him office, "Logan, Roth. There has been a sighting of a suspected drug dealer downtown. I want you head down there now"

The two detectives jumped up to their captain's attention.

Grabbing her leather jacket and shrugging it on, Raven walked swiftly to the elevator, Garfield on her heels.

This was it.

This was her chance to prove herself.

And nothing was going to stand in her way.
