The Story of Being Abnormal: Through Raven and Beast Boy's Children's Eyes
Hey guys! So I decided to write a story about the Titans through Raven and Beast Boy's children's eyes. If you haven't read any of the Triangle Trilogy, some things that will happen may not make sense due to this being a sort of continuation, but I'll try to make it make sense for other readers. I also recently figured out how to make chapters thanks to frostonthewindow so thank you! If you have any suggestions of things to add in future chapters I could possibly add it in. By the time this is up, I'll have at least the first four chapters done hopefully so that it won't take me a year to upload. ANYWAY…
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE TEEN TITIANS, DC COMICS DOES! I ONLY OWN THIS STORY AND MY CHARACTERS I MADE!
Chapter One: Mark Alex Logan
The day I came into this world, it was Thursday morning on July 19, (made up date b/c I forgot to make a wedding date) but I did not come alone. My twin sister Arella Jade Logan also came into the world with me. The doctors pulled her out of my mother's abdomen only approximately 45 seconds before me. How old I am you ask? I'm only about 2 weeks , 1 day, and 5 hours old. How come I have such an high intellectual intelligence at this early age you ask? The answer is simple; I'm defiantly my mother's son.
Everyone thinks I'm going to be just like my father because I'm his son and seem to show characteristics of him, but it's quite the opposite. My sister is like my father while I'm like my mother. Nobody can see it yet because they do not yet understand us. You see, my sister and I share a bond because we are twins like no other. We do not even have to talk to understand because we can read each other's minds.
When they brought us home just three days after we came out, I had my eyes wide open. Arella was asleep, so she missed out on her first look at the Tower which is now our home. My father was so tired because in the hospital, he insisted that my mother needed to rest because of the complications that arouse. She let him sleep since he had done the same for her. My sister and I were placed in our baby cribs which our uncle Cyborg graciously built for us. Mother thought I was asleep also, so she decided that she would you the opportunity to meditate. I stared at her in wonder as she floated up in the sky. Nobody knows yet, but I'll have my father's powers, so I won't have to meditate, but even when I want to, I won't be able to float like my mother. It makes me sad because I want to be connected to her and not be categorized to being like my father.
Whenever anyone holds me, they tell me how cute I am and I put on my baby charade and gurgle and giggle and make coos. I can't let anybody know yet that I have a high intelligence. When the time is right, I'll let everyone know, but for now, I'll let them baby me.
My sister knows. She knew without reading my mind that I'm different. I mean different from other babies, super powers or none. Aunt Bee lets me watch her shows with her on medical mysteries, and I know that people outside of the Titans will think that I'm autistic or something. I hate that those people can't recognized pure genius. Maybe one day I'll change the world's point-of-view.
When I'm with my sister in our play pin or conjoined cribs, she will give me looks. She looks at me as if so say: 'I'll tell everyone your secret!' This bothers me more than anyone can imagine. Except diapers that is…I hate those things… But that is beside the point.
Right now, we are in the common room of the tower with our family. Arella is with Aunt Kori in the kitchen, yes I do know how to translate Tamerianen (?). They are making some concoction that I know will end up cleaning out our refrigerator. Where am I you ask? Why I'm with dear old father. My mother is reading one of her old and more destroyed books of her book collection. I'm looking over my father's shoulder at the book she is reading. I'm very surprised that she is reading a very cheesy romance book. She does not strike me as a romance reader, but what do I know?
I glance back over to where my sister is. She is giggling happily. She is lucky. She doesn't have to hide her true nature.
I glance at the diamond ring on my Aunt Kori's left hand. Two days, 12 hours, and 10 minutes ago, my Uncle Robin proposed to her. While everyone was cheering, I had a smirk on my cute and chubby baby face. I'm sure nobody else knows, except maybe my father, that something big will happen. They will defiantly have to have their wedding soon, or else she is going to big to fit in her dress that she chooses.
I'll have to thank my father for this gift when I "learn to speak".
I don't think that this will be the only change.
Nobody thinks I notice, but I do. I can sense the tension between Uncle Cyborg and Aunt Bee. They act like it is not there, but no matter how hard they try, it will be there until they resolve it. I personally hope they'll stay together because of what I see.
Oh! I almost forgot to mention! I can also see into the future. I know my mother can have promotions, but this is way different. Like I can actually see what will happen up to five years from now. This is another secret that I have to hide from my family.
I wish I was a normal kid, but I wouldn't be able to have this life or this family. Hopefully, I can go to school and have a holo ring like Uncle Cyborg. Maybe I'll even met a girl who likes me for me and not because I'm a superhero, or will be one. Maybe I'll have children without super powers if I marry someone without powers. I don't know how I feel about that yet though. Right now, that is too far into the future to think about.
Suddenly, I'm dragged out of my day-dream by Uncle Robin. I turn my head as he leads me out the door to see my father and Uncle Cyborg set up the game station. Some things will never change…
Uncle Robin has brought me to his newly combined room. He and Aunt Kori finally moved in together. I heard Uncle Cyborg say something like, 'About time!' I'm guessing that is one of his signature phrases. Anyway, back to what's happening. He set me down on his bed and is looking at me.
"Listen," he speaks softly but seriously. "You are not gonna understand." Lies! "But me and your Aunt Starfire are going to get married." And have a baby! "Your dad and mom thought it would be cute if you were a little ring bearer of sorts. Of course we'll have to wait until you walk, but we'll make it happen right." Hopefully I'll be able to walk too before it happens! I clap my hands and giggle excitedly giving him a sign that I understand and will do it without talking. He just takes it as me being a baby.
I wish someone would notice…
Author's Note: I'm going to post chapter 2 right after this, so refresh your page if you only have this chapter! I will be posting chapters once a week after these two!
