The young woman stared up at the giant T. This was it. The moment she had been waiting for. She tried not to get her hopes up. She didn't even know if the person she was looking for still lived here. She began to panic, but then she stopped. She wasn't a child anymore. She had seen and survived things most people will never have to live through or see their entire lives. It was time for courage. She held her head up, threw her shoulders back, and walked to the giant T, her confidence growing with every step. She came upon a door and rang the doorbell. After a minute, she rang it again. This time she heard a voice on the other side. "I'm coming! Hold on!" The door swung open, and both sets of eyes widened in surprise. She, out of all the things she had seen, had never actually seen someone green from head to toe. While she was studying him, he was studying her. "Are you from the future?" he asked her.

"No," she said with a smile as she took in his pointy ears. He was adorable.

"You..look…just…like," he began slowly, his mouth opening in confusion, not saying anything. The woman took the initiative and spoke. "I am here to see Raven. I'm Arella, Raven's mother." The green…boy(?) eyes widened in shock and his jaw dropped. "Raven has a mom?" he asked in disbelief. Really, this kid was too cute for words.

Richard smiled down at his girlfriend as he slowly slid her hands up the wall. He intertwined their fingers as he trapped her against her own bedroom door . "Come with me," he said again, kissing her lips softly.

"Richard," she breathed out as he gave her a quick kiss again, "Dick."

"Please," he begged, kissing her quickly again. He was wearing her down slowly. He could feel it. "You're planning on staying the entire summer," she said dodging his next kiss.

"I love your slight accent," he said before capturing her lips in chaste kiss.

"Someone," Raven said as she broke away from the kiss, "needs to stay and watch these two. Someone responsible," she emphasized as Richard pressed his body up against hers. "And you said Alfred would be here in 20 minutes. I don't have time to pack," she finished breathlessly.

"Then don't pack," he kissed her with a smirk, "we can buy new clothes in Gotham, or," he said pressing up against her even more, "you could always wear mine." He captured her lips in another soft kiss. "But what about the Tower?" she asked, her resolve wearing away.

"Tim will do it."

"Tim?" the purple-eyed girl raised a skeptical brow. "Tim swore to never come back here unless Beastboy was at least 500 yards away from him at all times. How did you get him to agree?"

"Well," Richard said shifting, "I haven't asked him yet."

"Dick – "

"But I know he'll say yes."

"How?"

"Because I asked Donna to stay over this summer. And she was more than willing," Dick continued as he kissed each of her fingers. She was beginning to crumble. He could feel it. "And how did you get her to agree to that? She can't stand Beastboy either."

"I said Tim would be here," he leaned down and placed a few soft kiss on her neck.

"Dick," she moaned his name, "what if Tim doesn't agree to it?'

"Oh, he'll agree to it," he said, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "He is head over heels for Donna. He'll totally agree."

"I don't know," Raven said, still unsure.

"Look," Richard said dropping his hands to her waist and pulled her close, "at least stay a week with me. If you like it, stay another week. If you don't, you can always teleport back here." Raven pursed her lips together in thought. "Please," Richard moaned as he kissed her again. "Please." Kiss. "Please." Kiss.

"Fine," Raven caved with an eye roll. Sometimes her boyfriend was so incredibly needy. "Thank you," he said with a sweet smile. "Alfred should be here in 15 minutes."

"Okay," she said as she walked back into her room, Richard following her. "Give me ten minutes to take a shower and get dress."

"Thank you," he said as she disappeared into her bathroom. Richard decided to sprawl out on her bed.

"Um, Dick?" Richard turned towards the door. He hadn't realized he had left it open. Beastboy stood there uneasily. "What is it?" Richard asked.

"There's this woman here who says she is Raven's mother." Richard narrowed his eyes. "That's impossible, Beastboy. Raven's mother is dead."
