Raven had to admit, she was pretty damn hammered by the bottom of the bottle, and not having the drink in a few good years had certainly done its number. But, then again she never had much fortitude, especially when the Mead was like candy to her and just tasted so good that she really couldn’t stop herself. Sticky sweet would be the only way to describe it really. But, there were side affects to the blissfulness of being drunk, for one thing she was incredibly hot, boiling even, since her metabolism had skyrocketed. Secondly, she was tired and wanted to sleep, but since she could not make it to her bed without the assistance of Cyborg’s Car she made for the exit, to see if the cold air could chill her awake. Before she could make it however she felt a soft hand on her shoulder.

“Cyborg wishes me to inform you that we will be leaving in approximately 10 of your minutes.” Said Starfire, wavering slightly on her feet.

“Alright, thanks Starfire, I’ll be outside getting a breath of fresh air till them.” Said Raven, thorough convinced that if she was inside for longer then 2 seconds after those words left her mouth she would have a heat stroke, and bolted for the door.

“Wow…”Starfire said looking at the burnt carpet and the smoke trail as well as half charred patrons. “Sorry, I think she’s having issues of the stomach.”

*Slam* *Crash* *Smack* *Crash*

Raven threw open the door throwing it all the way back to hit the building and slam back closed with a vengeance. Only to cringe at the tremendous cold outside, well at least at first, but as she let the cold air flow around her she became used to the temperature somewhat and was able to stand the chill, and even enjoy it somewhat. It was then that she noticed large snowflakes falling from the sky, the big powder variety. She could see Beast Boy’s reaction in her mind, a dog jumping from one pile of snow to another, she knew she was going to have another case of frost bite on her hands tomorrow at that point but decided to ignore the thought.

With the heat fading from her body and becoming more sober, Raven became just how cold it was outside and as the cold ripped at her nose she cringed and wrapped her arms around herself. It was then that she noticed another cloud of breath near a light post about 2 feet from her, steadily coming out from a broad back and wide shoulders. Raven, without her knowing it had taken a defensive stance in preparation for a fight, ever ready even when drunk.

“You’re not going to need to defend yourself with me Raven.” said the Shadow who turned to face Raven, who had a great look of surprise on her face seeing Gavin again out of the blue. “Hey, get too much of the atmosphere too.”

“ Y…Yeah.” replied Raven timidly, not sure if the stutter was caused by cold or nervousness at being confronted by the object of her thought for the night, not to mention being given a chance to turn the choice she had been brooding over to the right one. “Thanks for the wine, it was very good, I love Honey Wine.”
“No problemo, my favorite, I figured you might like it.” Sighed Gavin looking at her “I think I was right”

“ Yessssh….yooouu…weeerreee…” chattered Raven thoroughly convinced that it was the cold making her stutter, though being off her guard, drunk and more then slightly attracted to the specimen ahead of her helped.

Gavin truly looking at her for the first time noticed her predicament almost instantly. He cocked his head to the side making his black and sliced with gray locks fall from his eyes delivering a piercing stare of emerald into Raven. Raven’s thoughts, completely concerned with the cold biting her body, didn’t here the rustling of cloth or the snow crunching under foot, only the sudden feel of warmth enveloping her.

Then she was surrounded by a thick winter leather jacket that reached down to her shins, brown leather quilted coat with lamb wool to be precise.

“There we go, can’t have you freeze to death out here can we.” Said Gavin securing the collar of his jacket around Raven, chuckling slightly. “I guess I am a pretty large guy, my jacket is almost down to you feet.”

It was his warmth enveloping Raven now, so warm, so very warm, and the jacket smelt like him, lavender maybe jasmine but all together pleasant and comforting. Raven’s thoughts were mesmerized by the sheer feel of the jacket and how safe she felt, especially with his strong arms around her. Of course they were fitting the jacket but still it felt wonderful, as if it was all she needed.

“To think all I had to do to get this close to you tonight was turn off the heater in the club.” Stated Gavin chuckling dragging Raven out of her splendid dream.

“ What about you, aren’t you cold?” asked Raven absentmindedly looking up into Gavin’s eyes, finding herself blushing almost instantly and hoping she wasn’t showing more emotion then she meant to.

Gavin laughed whole heartedly this time, a full booming laugh. “Thanks for the concern but I grew up in Gotham, very cold winters, so I’m fine, thanks for asking though.” Gavin smiled at her image, her face full of concern, very uncharacteristic if he did say so himself. “Your attitudes changed a bit since an hour ago.”

“Well, you choose a good bottle of wine.” Said Raven, not fully explaining herself, steadily leaning into the tall mans frame for support and finding all given to her. Unfortunately her ultimate goals for the moment were not to be as a loud shout was heard from the entrance as 6 people filed out.

“Hey RAVEN!!!” yelled Cyborg “Hurry up would ya, we’ve got ta go and I don’t want BB using my car as a toilet.

Raven had never been so perturbed in her life and swiftly dragged herself out of the comfort that she had allowed herself to be put in and turned to Cyborg in a furry.

“Just wait for me CY!!!” yelled Raven staring daggers into Cyborg cutting him into many pieces of fear.

“Eh...take your time.” Cyborg replied officially feeling 1000 times smaller and with a voice to suit. He swore he would never hurry Raven again unless he had to. Jinx quickly slapped the back of Cyborg’s head.

*With the Other Titan’s*

“Hey what was that for.” Whispered Cyborg

“ Can’t you tell that she’s finally meet somebody, no wonder she reacted so badly she didn’t want you and goof ball self to screw it up.” Replied Jinx glaring at him

“Hey, who you calling a goophhh…..uhh never mind.” Said Cyborg thinking better of the statement with the glare he received from Jinx. “I’m going to go start the car.” In a puff of smoke he was gone.

“Bout time she meet somebody, I’ve been feeling bad for her, I mean 3rd wheels tough but 7th, jeez.” Spoke Beast Boy

“Yeah no kidding, I hope this works out for her and the guy’s just not fucking with her.” Terra responded

“I wonder who it is that she’s talking to.” Said Robin, the usual suspicious tone included, obviously protective over Raven, he did after all consider her a little sister of sorts…well a big little sister anyway.

“Well, whoever it is HE IS HOT!!!” replied Starfire earning a glare from Robin “Oh, don’t worry about it Robby-Poo I still think your sexier then any man.” Promptly grabbing him in a bone crushing hug.

“She’s right though he is hot.” Stated Jinx and Terra together, earning them a laugh from everyone around save Cyborg who was busily making crashing sounds under the hood of his car.

“Ragalfrashing Mischlemackststrutterbegaily, DAMIT WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS DAMN CAR!!!” screamed Cyborg startling everyone around, including the love birds standing by the light post.

*The same time as the above occurrence with Gavin and Raven.*

“I guess those are your friends, The Titans, right.” Said Gavin slightly amused by their reaction to Raven’s glance, and hoped to never be on the receiving end of one of those. “And I suppose they are also your ride right?”

“Yeah, they’re my team, and with the exception of the previous emotional outburst we usually get along great.” Stated Raven plainly “With me and that metal hulk it’s more of a love/hate relationship.”

“Yeah I know how that can be, somehow I get the impression that it’s more love then hate though.” Said Gavin putting his arms around Raven’s shoulders causing her to jerk slightly, but ultimately to relax and lean back into him. “May I walk you to your car?”

Slightly taken aback by the question Raven could only answer “Yes” and begin the stroll to Cyborg’s T car, which was now make crashing and grinding sounds as Cyborg tried to start it up in a hurry as to not make Raven wait for fear of reprisal of the female variety, which by all accounts was worse then any villain. It was then when they heard his cry of frustration.

“Ragalfrashing Mischlemackststrutterbegaily, DAMIT WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS DAMN CAR!!!” screamed Cyborg startling everyone around, including the love birds standing by the light post.

*Everybody’s together now*

“What’s the matter Hunny?” asked Jinx

“I don’t know and that’s the problem, I’ve never had a problem I can’t fix, it’s so frustrating.” Said Cyborg turning the key again to try and start up his car.

By this time Raven and Gavin had made it up to the car listening to the troubled banter of the group ahead of them. At the sound of the engine trying to start and the struggling of the car Gavin perked up.

“Hey Raven, Why don’t you get everyone into the car for some warmth, I’ll take care of the engine trouble.” Stated Gavin

“Do you know what you’re doing, or is this some sort of testosterone driven thing?” asked Raven skeptically doubtful that this near perfect specimen was also good with his hands.

“So, I guess you either didn’t read my card or you just don’t know what Terran Heavy Industries does.” Laughed Gavin giving her a slight squeeze on the hand and rushing forward yelling back to her “ Just get every one into the car, I’ll get the door for ya.”

Raven watched as he rushed forward to Cyborg’s side next to the driver’s side of the car and started to talk to him as he turned the ignition. Moving to the back door as she approached.
“Sounds like your piston slipped, and you need an oil change, and more transmission fluid, not to mention you need to replace 2 spark plugs since their going to die in 2 days.” Said Gavin now standing outside the car helping Raven into the car still wrapped in the jacket he had lent her.

“No, that isn’t it I just replaced the oil and the sparkplugs so everything like that should be fine.” Cyborg replied slightly annoyed at someone other than him diagnosing his car.

“Terran Heavy Industeries Part #’s 32675 / 4568 / 4782 right?” stated Gavin like it was second nature. Gavin’s head was slightly crocked as he waited for a response.

“Uh…yeah” responded an astounded Cyborg, adding shock to the faces of everyone in the car that he’d been taken off guard about cars. “How’d you know…?”

Suddenly Raven understood what Gavin had meant by mentioning the Business card she had been given by him. He was the CEO in name and right, knowing everything about every product. And before Cyborg could finish his question he was confronted by another card that left his mouth gapping at its contents, Raven noticed that it was the same card given to her. But she understood, unlike the others, what it meant, that is with exception with Cyborg who was now worshiping Gavin’s feet and Robin…who had an oddly smug look on his face, like he was seeing an old friend get his ego boosted and wanted to laugh.

“NO WAY!!!!” yelled Cyborg catching everybody but Robin and Raven by surprise “You’re the Real Gavin McBain.”

“The one and only.” Smiled Gavin “I’ll have your car towed back to my companies shop and replace the parts and repair your car free of charge. Those parts were supposed to be recalled, I’ll even throw in some extra little packages that even aren’t out on the market alright? Oh, and before I forget I’ll get a limo down here to take you guys home.”

“BOOYA!!!!” celebrated Cyborg “Your serious right, tell me your serious come on man reaffirm my faith in your almightiness.”

“Yeah I’m serious, but watch the almightiness thing, god gets pissed easy and I really don’t want to be the one that pisses him off. Laughed a now thoroughly amused Gavin smiling from ear to ear, stopping Cyborg from kissing his feet, while looking around for his prize. He was gratified at that with receiving a very large grin from Raven, who actually seemed happy, if not elated, at the occurrence.” Just let me page them and they should be here almost instantly, I live right down the road you see so I can actually walk but the board wants a car near me at all time. Rather silly if you ask me”

“ Thank you, Mr. McBain” said Jinx/Terra/Starfire

“Thanks Dude!!!” said Beast Boy earning a smack from Terra and a scolding telling him to be more respectful.
“Please girls, there is no reason to be formal, after all I’m only 22 years old and seeing as how I plan on seeing a lot more of you all in the future there is no reason to start off with formalities” said Gavin looking straight at Raven the whole time.

“Thank you Gavin.” Spoke raven silently, still wrapped in his jacket struggling to not fall asleep.

Slightly chuckling Gavin smiled at Raven, nodding his head, drawing a slight blush from Raven. The girls of the Titans stared on at the sweet emotional display but as they prepared themselves for something to explode from Raven’s emotional release they found themselves wasting their efforts due to no explosions. Smiling to each other they realized there were some emotions that didn’t affect Raven’s powers.

“So when exactly were you going to say hello to me Gavin.” Said Robin sounding slightly annoyed but he had such a large uncharacteristic smile on his face that it underlined his true meaning, to everyone’s great surprise.

“As soon as you got out of the car so I could shake your hand, you big ass.” Replied Gavin also smiling.

Robin proceeded to leave the car and shake Gavin’s hand nicely only to try and throw Gavin down the streets, the move followed by gasps of the titans as well as all of them jumping out of the car to restrain Robin. Only to find that Gavin had not been thrown, in fact Robin and Gavin were now duking it out like they had been old sparing buddies, which in fact they had been.

“Alright that’s enough Robin, I’ll beat you another time.” Said Gavin laughing and clutching his side

“Ha!! Like you could ever beat me in your shape.” Laughed Robin jokingly.

“Hey, you’ve been fighting crime since High School, I’ve been building an industrial empire, to each his own right.” Laughed Gavin standing up straight “Besides, I always won when it came to looks” dodging a Bata rang Gavin belted out another few laughs.

“Damn prick, I’m so much prettier then you.” Retorted Robin

The other’s looked on in awe at the exchange, not only were they apparently acquainted, they knew each other from back in Gotham, and no matter what Robin says they were on par with each other in their fighting skills, though Gavin did look a little out of practice, still very few could hold their own against Robin after 5 years of war with Slade.

It was then that the Terran Heavy Industries limo appeared Gavin spoke to the drive explaining where he had to go and after a little argument about the board getting angry, the man agreed. Gavin held the door open for all the ladies in the group as the men we’re the first in, mostly because Cyborg and Beast Boy wanted to play with the knobs and button. (The driver had already concluded it was going to be a long ride)

Robin and Gavin said their farewells and then it was down to Raven, who promptly made to remove the Gavin’s jacket which she had been wearing the whole time only to have one of his hands stop her.

“You need your jacket for the walk home.” Stated a concerned Raven giving Gavin a slightly scolding look, which quickly melted into a warm smile at his stare.

“I’ll be fine, don’t you worry bout me alright, you still look cold, plus it gives me another reason to meet up with you.” said Gavin sincerely “Lets get you in the car shall we Rave.”

Slightly surprised by the nickname and rather indignant about the snickers coming from the limo she complied, having Gavin hold the door open for her on the way into the car.

“Oh one more thing Rave, What are you doing next Friday at 8:00pm?” asked Gavin for the first time with nervousness in his voice.

“Nothing to my knowledge why?” asked Raven

“ I was wondering if you’d be interested in going to the Opera with me, you see I have to tickets and I seem to be short a date.” said Gavin seeming relieved and with a growing smile giving Raven a warm smile leaving Raven with little choice, how could she say no anyway.

Beaming at him in more ways then could be shown to those uninvolved in the conversation the word “yes” floated out of her lips delivering Gavin the answer he had been waiting for.

“Alright, I’ll see you then, take care until then all of yall, oh and Cyborg I’ll have your car back to you in a couple of days.” Said Gavin seeming thrilled with a slight bounce in his step “Tom take them to the tower now alright”

“Yes, Mr. McBain” said Tom

“Bye, Rave” said Gavin kissing the top of her head, causing a blush to come to her face, all raven could do was stare and smile, though that seemed to be enough for Gavin who’s smile could be seen for some distance after they started driving off.

Watching him silently shrink in the distance for as long as she could Raven ignored the conversations of her friends and sunk into the wonderful warmth and smells of the person she just left and decided that she liked her new nickname…as long as only he used it.
