Life after the X
Chapter 1: Baby Birds
Raven and Robin from that night, ran away from Gothom. Not much has been heard from them since. Many historians who study the life and death of superheroes say that they ran to Vegas and married under false aliases. From there, they had their first child. Her name was Cassandra. Cassandra grew up to be much like her father. Although she took the resemblance of her mother, she had her father's thirst for being bad. She put on her dad's old costume at the age of ten. After she was arrested only at age 12, her father finally found a way to destroy the costume so she could never use it as he did. Cassandra never went to jail because her parents bailed her out, but by the time she was 14, she had already started making a new costume for her own identity. It took two years to make so that her mother and father wouldn't notice the frequent trips she took to the hardware store for more supplies. She would make up an excuse for going to the hardware store. She joined the drama department at her school when she was 15. She would tell them that her drama teacher needed more supplies for scene building. Finally, at age 16, she completed her costume for destruction. She became The Black Eagle.
Robin and Raven also had another daughter, Victoria. She was only a year younger than her sister and so much like her mother it scared people at times. The Azerthian gene was not inherited by Cassandra, but her dad's agility and speed sure was. But yes, Victoria was a telekinetic. She grew up to be a superhero named Falcon.
Although Robin and Raven were older, they had not gone through a midlife crisis yet. They were still as spirited and energetic as they were when they were young lovers. They both loved each other very much, but there was always something between them that would create a space in their relationship. They both had different plans for their children. When Cassandra was born, they both agreed not to let their children go down the roads that they had. But they both couldn't stay out of it. Raven missed the thrill of crime fighting and Robin missed the rush if being a villain.
Raven was secretly training Victoria to be a hero. She would tell her how to control her powers and use them properly. While, Robin trained Cassandra everything he knew about going undetected by the police and other heroes.
This is the story of how that little space that seemed very small at the time it formed, grew into a hole enough to swallow the Earth and everything in it. This is the story of how Robin and Raven's plans for their children would separate them in a way they couldn't imagine. This is also the story of their children and how they would have to learn to depend on each other and those around them for help.
This is life after the X.
