Chapter 2: Cyan's power
Bruce sat in Beast boy's arms silently. He watched them walk away from his mother's room. Where were they going? Cyan placed his chin on the changelings shoulder. Even though he was about a day old, he knew so much. He knew that the reason he didn't mind the green one was because his mother didn't mind him. In fact he sensed some attraction to him but it was like something of a friend. Somehow he was alright with that. Now the blue one was different. The green one and the blue one were good friends but the blue was afraid of him. Cyan was smart. He knew all too well why he was afraid of him and what he didn't tell his mother. Cyan watched the hallway disappear as they entered the living room. He could sense the pink and red one here. Cyan couldn't quite understand why he did not like the red one. But he didn't and that meant he didn't like the pink one either. She was always around the red one and that meant she could not touch him.
Beast boy sat on the couch with the little dude. He was so quiet and he seemed to thinking. Smiling softly, he repositioned him in his lap. Cyan's blue eyes looked at him curiously.
"Hey Cyan, I think you need an introduction to the team." Beast boy smiled when Cyan's head cocked to the side. "I'm Beast boy and if you're anything like Raven you'll wonder why they call me that. I'll show you." He said changing into a kitten and rubbing himself on the child. Bruce nodded as he changed back. Standing up, he carried Cyan to the blue one who was doing something with the TV. "This is Cyborg. He's the one who built this house. He used to be human but you know." Beast boy said walking to the pink one and Cyan's eyes immediately narrowed. "Whoa little dude, she won't hurt you." Beast boy stated softly. "This is Starfire."
"Hello little bumgore. You are friend Raven's baby. You look very much like her. Might I be able to hold you?" Starfire asked.
Cyan disappeared out Beast boy's arms and into the air where he floated above them.
"Bruce, dude, come down here. I won't give you to her but you got to come down." Beast boy said softly.
Cyan took in his words before slowly lowering himself into Beast boy awaiting arms.
Beast boy held him softly before looking back at Starfire. "Sorry Star, I don't know why he doesn't like you."
"It is quiet alright. He'll come around eventually." Starfire said sadly.
Beast boy nodded before walking over to Robin, who was searching for something the kitchen.
"Cyan, this is our fearless leader Robin." Beast said softly.
Robin looked at the baby with a forced smile.
Cyan looked back with red eyes.
Robin's eyes narrowed.
Cyan's eyes began to multiply.
"What are you?" Robin whispered.
"My mother's child." Cyan stated in a deep demonic voice. (Much like Raven's rage)
"Who created you?" Robin asked.
Cyan let out a little chuckle. "Soon enough boy wonder. Soon enough."
Robin growled. "You better not hurt Raven. She's had enough already."
Cyan seemed to get offended. His little body began to shake with rage violently. Beast boy was struggling to hold him. He scowled dangerously before full blown electric bolts began forming.
"Cyan, calm down."
Everyone turned to see Raven appear.
Cyan did as he was told and calmed. His eyes didn't return to the deep blue till he was in Raven's hands.
"Are you going somewhere friend Raven?" Starfire asked.
Everyone's attention was Raven's attire. A black tank top with black yoga pants. Soft black combat boots adored her feet. Her eyes took in everyone's eyes before she nodded.
"Yes. Cyan needs some supplies. And clearly a break from the team is needed for him." She said eyeing everyone's weariness to Cyan. "Thank you Beast boy." She said turning with Cyan on her shoulder.
Robin watched the two go with calculating eyes. He looked at Cyborg who sighed before going back to his game. Starfire went back to looking at her magazine with a sigh. Robin watched Beast boy get lost in his thoughts before looking back at the boy wonder. A message was sent and Beast boy understood. Walking out the room, he shifted into a dog and tracked her scent. He would follow at a safe distance.
…
Raven walked the streets silently. Cyan sat in her arms just as silent. It was interesting to see how much Cyan really didn't like the boy wonder. What was it about Robin that made Cyan hate him? At the moment she walked into the store full of baby stuff. Raven looked at the boy stuff and decided to only buy him clothes and diapers. Cyan didn't need what human babies did. A crib was unnecessary. He could clearly form his powers into something he wanted to sleep in. Toys weren't for him either. But a binky would be good for him to have something to suck on. His fangs would start coming in within a couple of days and he needed to keep his mouth busy. Picking out all the diapers and a few dark blue, black, red onesies, she took it to the counter to pay. She picked up a deep purple diaper bag that could hold all the supplies. Paying quickly, she exited the store and went on to the café, she was a regular at. Ordering a tea, she went and sat in the corner as she sat Bruce on the table.
"Cyan." Raven stated in her monotone.
"Mother." Bruce spoke in his own monotone.
"Mother?" Raven asked.
"You are my mother. I carry your blood." Cyan said softly.
"How?"
"I have no idea really. But our blood is the same." He stated with a sigh. There was an air that he was far wiser than he let on but she left it be. Demons manifested into their own things when they are young. He may just have been naturally instinctive.
"Interesting. Cyan we need to talk about your powers." Raven said as her tea was placed before her. "I have no idea why you do not like Robin but you cannot attack him. Cyan, I want to take care of you. It is clear you need me. Your powers could cause some real damage. But I can't keep you if you continually terrorize Robin."
"I understand mother. I really do not understand why I do not like your leader. My blood churns at the thought of the human." Cyan explained.
Raven nodded finishing her tea. Grabbing Cyan, she left money on the table before she grabbed the bag. Making her way out of the café, she began walking back to the tower. She took in the night but didn't expect to be hit hard in back. Looking up to see Jinx standing before her with a smug, Raven growled. Cyan's eyes narrowed in warning at the feeling of his mother being hurt.
"Look who it is. It's miss I-hate-everyone. Oh! And she has a brat too." Gizmo stated loudly with an obnoxious laugh.
Raven sighed before turning and continued walking.
"Oh, so you'll ignore us?" Jinx asked with a frown. She motioned for Mammoth to go.
Mammoth jumped high in the sky before landing in front of Raven. "You know, I always did have a spot for single moms." Mammoth purred.
Raven waved her hand and walked through the giant man till she felt her hood grabbed. She looked up to see Jinx's foot slam into her cheek. Raven's head went to the side before she was met with a punch to her stomach. Holding both Bruce and her stomach, she spoke her mantra loudly. Black tentacles came fourth and wrapped themselves around the three.
"Be gone."
The tentacles tossed the three like yesterday's garbage into the ocean. Raven sat on the ground and looked over the child in her hands. He was unharmed and looking at her curiously.
"Are you okay Raven?" She heard from behind her.
She looked up at the green teen with the unbruised side of her face. "I'm fine Beast boy."
Beast boy sighed before approaching her. He gently grabbed her face to look at the shoe print on her face. With a sigh he looked down at the boy that was looking at him. A small smile grew on the green teens face. She couldn't fight back with Bruce in her hands and she didn't allow him to get hurt. That's why he liked Raven. She didn't allow the weak to get harmed. And while Bruce wasn't weak, at the moment, he wasn't capable of taking care of himself or powers yet.
"Mother." Cyan spoke as his little hand touched her bruised face.
"Cyan." Raven responded softly.
"Allow me to heal it?" He asked, his blue hues focusing on the cut on her face.
"Go for it."
Cyan's electrical powers came forth and gently tinged the skin to accelerate the skin's healing cells. Raven healed pretty fast as it was but this way it would be gone by the time they got home.
"Wow, little dude sure is powerful like his mom." Beast boy commented.
"He is indeed." Raven said with a head nod. A small smile grew on her face at the how Cyan was concentrating on the cut.
When it was finally healed, he sighed heavily before curling up on Raven's chest. Raven's smile didn't falter as she began levitating up into the air. Beast boy grabbed the diaper bag as he turned into a pterodactyl. Both of the two titans flew high above the city silently. Once the two landed on the roof, Raven grabbed the bag from Beast boy as he turned into his humanoid self. She nodded to the teen before walking into the tower with him following her. Both were unaware of three pairs of eyes watching. Eight eyes if you count his top set too.
…
"He is strong sir." A voice commented.
"He is. Mine and her blood run through that boy." The master replied.
"His power keeps increasing." The servant voice said softly.
"She'll handle it. After all, it her side of the blood that has such power."
"Are you really going to try and take the boy sir?" The servant asked a little concerned.
"He belongs to me. And soon, so will she."
…
"My grandson is strong much like his mother." The voice mused to himself.
"He is." A female voice said after.
"It is a shame that fool is going to try and take him away from her." The deep demonic voice commented.
"My nephew will not be used to end their world father. I will make sure of that." The female stated with determination.
"And what of your sister? She stands above all my children. She was the only one out of hundreds that could be my portal and even defeat me. The girl is hard headed but she gets it from me." The demon stated with a sigh.
"Father, sister will be fine. She and Cyan will be okay. We will not let him take them both. And if he does, I will be your portal." She said with confidence.
"Thank you daughter. Now, go and train. I have thinking to do." The demon said placing his chin on his huge hand.
"I will do so Father." She answered softly before disappearing.
When she was gone, the old demon let out a loud sigh. "I hope you are right Jade. I really do."
