Ok. To start with, the characters and places in this fanfic aren't mine. They belong to DC Comics. This is the sequel to my first Teen Titan fic, New Recruits. Secondly, I thought I would take a break from writing a third Young Justice Story. Anyway, I hope you like the story. Email any and all comments (even burns) to Silver_Wolf1_99

Now on with the story.

Labors of Family and Love

By Silver Wolf

Chapter One

School...

Raven sighed as she followed the other members of the Titan East team into the local elementary school. From what she understood, they had been invited there for a special Titans Appreciation day. At first she didn't think it was a good idea for her to go considering she was five months pregnant, but she had changed her mind when she found out that her daughter class had something special planned. "Why are we doing this again?" she asked with a slight monotone in her voice, "Besides the obvious reasons."

"Public relations I think," Bart said with a shrug. "Fantastic," she said as one of the teacher's walked up. "Thanks for coming. I'm the principal, Mr. Jacobson," he said smiling, "I'd like to welcome you to Steele City Elementary. This school is for grades first threw fourth. If you all follow me, I'll show you around." They walked through the school taking a look at the different classrooms. "I didn't know the kids wore uniforms here," Wolf said quietly after looking in one of the rooms.

"We do have a dress code here. It's a gradual progression into the uniforms the high school uses," Mr. Jacobson said, "It starts in second grade by switching shirts with designs and/or logos for solid colors, third removes baggy and low hanging jeans with plain jeans, and so on." "Makes sense to me," Impulse said. "Hush," Batgirl said quietly. They turned a corner as the principal said, "And this is the first grade area. We normally have the two main rooms split into smaller rooms, but the dividers have been removed so you will be talking to two classrooms at a time.

"Now, if you all don't mind, how about the ladies take one room and the guys take the other for an hour then switch." "Works for me," Raven muttered as she put her hood up. She followed Batgirl and Supergirl into the room on the right and let them do the talking. As expected, the greatest majority of the questions were directed at the other two Titans. Most questions focused on toughest villain, pranks pulled on the guys, and who they liked.

They switched classes after half an hour before moving to the second graders. After about fifteen minutes Raven noticed something out of the corner of her eye. A group of girls were picking on another when the teachers had their backs turned. Raven focused her empathy towards the girl and inwardly flinched. 'This is bad,' she thought watching the girls. "Hey Supergirl, would you and Batgirl mind if I do something?" Raven asked suddenly. The other two looked at each other for a second before Supergirl said, "Uh, sure. Go ahead."

"Thank you," Raven said. A dark mist surrounded the desk of the four girls then crushed them as she raised her right hand and closed it into a fist. The four screamed as their desk hit the floor. "I have been watching you four for about the past ten minutes and I've heard everything you've called her," Raven said walking towards them, "If I ever find out you are still bullying this girl, you better believe I will make everyone of your worst nightmares come true. Understand?"

The four girls nodded as they tried to get away from the Goth Titan. "Good," Raven said. She knelt next to the one the four were bullying and quietly said, "Come with me." The girl kept her head down as she slowly got to her feet and followed Raven into the hall. "Are you ok?" Raven asked once the door was closed. The girl nodded slightly before looking up at her.

"Why were they picking on you?" Raven asked. The girl started to cry saying, "Because I live at the local hotel with my aunt." "What happened to your parents?" Raven asked trying to comfort the girl. "Dad passed a few months ago," the girl said wiping her eyes. "And what about your mother?" Raven asked. "I haven't seen her sense I was four," the girl said before sitting down.

Raven was quiet for a few seconds before saying, "I think we might be able to help find her." The girl looked up at the Titan with a hopeful look in her eyes asking, "Really?" "I think so. Hang on," Raven replied as she used her powers to open the door the guys were in. "Wolf, can you come here for a minute?" she asked. The teams leader excused himself from the room for a few before stepping out into the hall way.

"What's wrong?" Wolf asked quietly. "It's kind of a duel thing," Raven said as the door swung closed behind him. She explained what happened with the young girl and what she had found out. Once she had finished, he knelt front of the young girl and asked, "What's your name?" The girl sniffed once more before saying, "Amy." He smiled softly as he said, "It's nice to meet you, Amy. They call me Wolf. By any chance, do you know what your mom's name is?"

"Emelia White," Amy said smiling a little, "Are you really going to find my mom?" Kris was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It may take me a while, but I will find her. Don't worry." "I won't," Amy said before heading back to class. "I have a feeling you know who her mom is," Raven said once the door closed. He nodded slightly as he stood saying, "Yeah. Think you can hold the fort until I get back?" "I have before," she said with a slight smile, "If I need to, I'll have Emma become my assistant and help."

"Good idea," he said before heading down the hall.
