Hi everyone out there! This is your favorite author who has just came up with this great story! It all started when I used to be a RobxRae fan (for a short time)but then I discovered B. which is a lot better. It's not really RobxRae entirely or B. entirely either…so without further ado let the story begin!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Teen Titans, but if I had the chance to own it I would take it immediately.
Chapter 1: The son of Raven
Jay's P.O.V.
My name is Jay.
I am 8 years old.
I have no idea who my father is.
My mother, Raven, and I live in a high-tech cave which Uncle Cyborg designed for us. My mom and I have our own bedrooms (including 3 extra rooms we don't use), a kitchen, a common room, 2 bathrooms, and all that. My mom said that it looked like Titans Tower. I've never been there, but I've never really been anywhere except outside the cave and sometimes the city.
Mother always tells me stories about her life as a Titan. It always seemed like it was in my grasp but I know that I'll never get out of here if I never do anything about it. She told me about a girl named Terra who was a traitor to the team and Slade, my grandfather Trigon, the Brotherhood of Evil, petty villains, and of course, the Teen Titans. Starfire, Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Mother used to save the city and a couple of times, the world. Today they all are superheroes. Uncle Cy and Aunt Bee hooked up and had a kid named Dominic and a girl named Patricia but we call her Patty. But they're 5 and 2 so no one to really hang out that's my age. Beast Boy, or Changeling, is 32 and is currently a nomad. He moves around; sometimes he stays at the Tower or sleeps in the park. I asked my mom if he was a hobo and she rolled her eyes and told me to stop eavesdropping.
I don't really know much about Nightwing (Robin) or Starfire. Mother said they got married shortly after I was born but she couldn't go since she had to take care of me. I've heard (well, I eavesdropped) that they had kids a year later and then another kid the following year. Uncle Cy said they were kinda 'busy'; whatever that meant.
If I knew who my dad was then I'd know why I'm me in the first place.
I have dark purple hair that is always a spiky mess with some black in the middle. My hair curves into a widow's peak and beneath that is a red chakra. I have my mom's eyes and slightly tanned skin. I'm kinda wiry. My uniform is a blue shirt and blue shorts that feel like tights. I have a black cape, gray gloves, gray boots, and a white belt with a red button like the one my mom wears. Now my mom wears her old uniform but white and her hair is longer.
My superpower is similar to my mom, but more offensive. I turn into a dark energy warrior( go quarter demons!) with white eyes. I'm also intelligent for my age. At 1 I could pick locks and read and at 5 I flew without difficulty and could hack a computer. I can teleport and fly. Sometimes I have telekinesis, sometimes I don't which bugs me but my mom tells me not to worry about that. She says I need to concentrate on telekinesis so I need to meditate. I do, but it doesn't help at all.
So like every birthday I have(mine is today) I wish for the one thing my mom won't give me; the identity of my father. My mother would sit me down and tell me a little more about him each year without her monotone voice.
I'm hoping to break the tradition this year.
It all started with a superhero babysitter named Lola. She used to come and watch me when I was 2 and all the way up 'till I was 7. We both shared the interest of my father's identity. Lola wasn't the no-way-we-are-not-gonna-hack-your-mom's-laptop kind of babysitter which was a huge relief. One night we decided to go into my mother's room to hack her laptop and see who my dad was. I picked the lock, heard the satisfying click! and we were in. I grabbed my mom's laptop, put my hacking device in (which I only use for tough hacking), and searched her secret files.
I had searched for a file that said Jay's father or anything like that. No luck.
"Hey Jay, look." Lola had whispered into my ear. She had pointed to a file that read Once I loved. Too sappy. I remember making a face and clicking.
But just as I barely caught a glimpse…
"JAY JOHN ROTH!" my mother shouted as she stalked into the room. "HOW DARE YOU BREAK INTO MY ROOM AND HACK MY LAPTOP!" Mother snatched it away. Then she turned at my teenage babysitter. "AND YOU! I LEFT YOU TO CARE FOR MY SON NOT INVADE MY PRIVACY! GET OUT!" Lola ran away, but not before stuffing a piece of paper into my glove while my mom wasn't looking.
Mother looked really disappointed at me as her anger died down. I got grounded for 3 months; no video games. That was harsh.
The piece of paper was Lola's e-mail address and the word Night. It took me a day before I realized it was supposed to be Nightwing. When I crept into my bed, I e-mailed Lola asking her where Nightwing was and if she figured out who was my mysterious father. No later than 5 minutes she replied. Lola gave me his address and told me the name of my father.
Nightwing.
I was in disbelief. Nightwing? My father? He was my father? I logged off. I was silent as I thought. I need to see him. I need explanations. Mother will get mad at me if I tell her I know who Dad is. I had thought. So I made the plan of running away on my birthday. My mom would know I had gone and follow me. She and Nightwing could talk it over and explain to me. Together. I would ask my father why he cheated on Starfire in the first place. I studied Nightwing's-no, my father's- coordinates. I checked it out on Google. So he lives on the side of a mountain. I had carefully mulled. That was how my plan started.
So now, I was in my room. I have a dark blue bed, blue walls, a black rug, and a white desk. It's kind of medium-ish and relaxing. Today was the day I would see him. I was really nervous. I wondered if he knew I existed, if my mom had gotten full custody of me, and much more.
"Jay? Are you awake?" Mother called.
"Yeah Mom! I'm awake." I replied back.
Mother opened the door and she carried a tray; on top of it were waffles with a birthday candle on top, herbal tea, syrup, and sausage patties. She smiled warmly, which was a bit rare and the ones she only gave to me.
"Happy Birthday, Jay." she said, setting the tray down on my bed and kissing my head. I lowered my head in embarrassment.
"Thanks, Mom! You're the best!" I exclaimed happily as I dug in. A tiny thought in the back of my mind said, And you're gonna break her heart.
Shut up. I responded menacingly. Like my mom, I had emotions but they were a tad easier to control.
Mother smiled. "I'll be in the common room, Jay if you need me." she said and closed my door behind her as she left.
After I finished my meal I looked longingly at my window. I didn't want to disappoint her again but I wanted to find my answers. What would he see in my mom? She was kinda depressing and well…creepy. Although they were serious and my mother and Nightwing had this connection. She'd been in his mind before when he was the only one who saw Slade.
I'm going. I decided. I'm going to see my father. And with that, I opened the window and flew away.
You guys know the drill! Review my friends and have a good day!
