A/N: Hiya guys…and gals. Took me a lot of brainstorming but here's another Teen Titans story. Hope you guys like it.
Roadtrips and Babysitting
Chapter 1: Duty Calls
"Wait a second… you want me to do what?!" exclaimed Robin.
"I told you a thousand times already that I need you to go to steel city and pick up Melvin, Timmy, and Teether." Irked Raven.
"Why I mean they have Bobby to protect them. How come I have to baby-sit?" Robin groaned at the idea of having to look after kids.
Raven smirked in amusement, "Because, not that it was all that bad, you made me look after them for three days. I think it's only fair that you handle this mission and when they arrive I'll take over from there."
Robin dropped onto the couch, folding his arms over his chest, and began to sulk like a three-year-old.
"You know as well as I do that they need a place where they'll be safe from the Hive. We can't just leave them all alone."
Thinking it over and coming to a decision, he slowly let out a heavy sigh, "Fine I'll go."
"No way, dude, Robin's gonna be a nanny!" Beast Boy fell over, laughing hard.
The boy wonder turned his head so that he could glare at Raven, "You owe me big time."
She only shrugged as she levitated a bowl of Starfire's Tamaranian pudding that was sitting on the counter and dropped it right on top of Beast Boys head. He retaliated in disgust as he raced out the door and most likely to find the nearest bathroom.
"There, we're even." She said in her monotonic voice, picking up her book and walking out towards her room.
"And don't worry, I'll be checking up on you guys to see how you're doing." Raven added as she walked down the hallway.
Robin sat there dumbfounded. He shook his head as he began to head for his room to pack for the trip.
"I'm the one who's suppose to be giving the orders around here."
Robin sat in the middle of a busy highway. The intersection was filled with honking sounds, construction noises, and the occasional loud cussing of many impatient drivers. He slowly became less and less patient with the heavy traffic. He knew that if he had to deal with this much longer his head would explode. To him it wasn't something he was against.
"Great, only 2 hours into my mission and I'm already losing it." Grumbled Robin.
'Damn Raven and her brilliant ideas.' He grumbled some more.
Flashback
Robin and Raven were in the evidence room going over a final inventory of the gadgets the titans had acquired over the past few years beating up criminals.
"Control Freaks remote?"
"Check."
"Mad Mod's cane?"
"Yep."
"Mumbo's hat?"
"Hmm… oh right here."
"How about-" Robin was cut off as Raven's communicator started to beep. The two shot questionable looks as she pulled out her communicator and flipped it open.
"Raven here."
The screen flashed on with a little girl with blond pigtails and blue eyes appeared. Two other boys and a giant bear like creature were standing in the background.
"Raven! I'm so glad it's you!" Melvin's eyes lit up with excitement.
Soon the screen began to crowd with faces.
"Hi Waven!" Timmy's grin widened.
Teether and Bobby merely just waved, but were very happy to see their friend.
"Glad to see you too guys. So what's the problem?"
At that Melvin's face changed from happiness to fear.
"What's wrong Melvin?"
"It's that one group of bad people you told us about. The…um-"
"The Hive Five?" Raven raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah them, they've broken into the temple and started attacking the monks. We were forced to flee."
By now Robin was right next to Raven, peering over her shoulder to get a better view of the screen.
"Where are you right now?" Robin asked.
Melvin looked puzzled but began to speak again.
"We're in Steel City. At least that's what Bobby says."
Raven paused for a moment, but soon came to a conclusion.
"Ok, listen carefully." All four sets of eyes were locked on her, fully attentive and waiting for her to continue.
"I want you to find Titans East's tower and wait there. I'll have Robin come up there to pick you guys up and bring you back to our tower. You guys can stay here until we can deal with the Hive members."
Robin's eyes widened turning to Raven. Just as he was about to protest Melvin's voice came over the communicator.
"Okey dokey Raven. I'll let the others know, if they don't know already-" Melvin shot them a stern look making them back up quickly and try to act innocent by whistling.
"Let us know if there are any problems before hand and try not to get into any trouble."
"I can be a gowd boy Waven!" Timmy shouted in the background.
Raven couldn't help but laugh a little, "I'm sure you can Timmy, all of you. Please be careful."
"Ok we're going to head up now."
"Alright, Raven out."
Just as the screen faded to black Robin folded his arms across his chest and scowled.
"What?"
End Flashback
"God this traffic just gets worse and worse."
Deciding he had enough he revved up the engine and maneuvered around the other cars.
"Hey man! Most of us can wait a few extra minutes." Hollered an angry driver from his window.
Robin ignored it as he spotted a sign that read,
STEEL CITY 35 MILES
He let out a sigh of relief as he sped up onto the exit that would soon lead him into the heart of Steel City.
A/N: I'm just going to cut this short. Don't really feel like talking, why? Because my mom discovered a thing called duct tape. Anyway you know the drill R&R peeps ;D
