A/N: Ok bored with my usual greetings. Soo, yeah gonna move onto the story.
Disclaimer: Do we really need to cover this? Everyone knows I don't own Teen Titans even people who don't know me. Though I wish I did but I guess I'm just not that creative :/
Roadtrips and Babysitting
Chapter 2: Mishaps on the Highway
Robin pulled up into the garage of Titan's East. He mounted his bike and took off his helmet where he began to walk up the stairs to the main room.
"Wow Cy, you really did a nice job on this tower. It's almost as nice as our own." Robin said awestruck.
He rounded the corner to a large door that would lead to the main room. Opening the door, he walked towards the balcony. Looking down, he saw the same kids who were talking to him and Raven not to long ago. From where he was standing he could see that, despite their current situation, they were having fun.
The blonde haired girl named Melvin was laughing as Bobby tried to play tag with Mas and Menos. Timmy was enjoying the occasional mist of water that Aqualad would make. Teether was being cuddled by Bumblebee. Even Speedy put down his mirror long enough to play with the kids.
"Hey everyone." Greeted Robin
"Hello Wobin."
"What cha got there?" Robin asked as he bent down to look at what Timmy was carrying.
"It's my blanky. It's bwoo see." Timmy held out his blanket to give Robin a better view of hid blanket.
Robin smiled, "Yes, it's very cool."
Timmy beamed as he put his thumb in his mouth and went back to sit on the couch next to Bumblebee and Teether.
"So are you guys ready to go?" Robin asked.
"Aw already? I was just starting to have fun." Melvin pouted playfully.
"Sorry but we gotta hurry, Raven's going to have a conniption if I don't get you back in time. Plus we don't want to get stuck in traffic."
"Ok, c'mon Bobby. I'll race ya." Melvin giggled as she sped out with Bobby stomping behind her.
"Hey thanks again for watching after these guys for us." Robin said as he took Teether from Bumblebee's arms.
"No prob., it was actually fun. Even Mr. I-spend-too-much-time-staring-at-my-own-reflection took the time to acknowledge somebody other than himself." Aqualad said as he pointed in Speedy's direction.
"Hey I'm not depth you know!" Speedy shouted as he stormed off towards his room.
"Um, ok then well I'm glad it wasn't too much trouble." Just as he said that a loud crash of metal followed by the sound of falling bolts and bouncing rubber wheels echoed through the tower.
Robin instantly knew what was it was that made all those noises. Trying to contain his anger he turned to Bumblebee.
"You have anything that will fit three children, a teen, and a big brown teddy bear?"
Nearly ten minutes later after they got all the bags into the trunk of the borrowed car, jammed Bobby into the back seat, buckled up the three kids, shoved the remains of his motorcycle in the back, and left the tower they were finally back on the highway. Despite their early guilt of breaking Robin's motorcycle, they were now cheery and happily singing songs.
'Ok Robin, chill out man, it's just for a few hours then Raven can deal with them. I'll just have Cyborg patch up the R-cycle when we arrive.'
As if on cue, Robin's communicator rang. He pulled it out of the glove compartment and flipped open the screen to see Raven's concerned face.
"Is everyone ok? They were at the tower right?"
"Jeez Raven you sound like their mom."
Raven shot him a glare.
"Thank Azar the boy blunder did something right. So where are you guys now?"
Ignoring the insult Robin looked out the window. "Right now we're on the interstate so we should be there in about…oh I don't know…maybe four hours? Five maybe?"
"Hi Raven!"
"Hi Waven!"
"Bobby and Teether says hi."
"Hey guys, well it looks like everything's fine so I'll just be going now."
'Thank god!' "Alright Rae, see ya at the tower."
Raven cringed at the nickname. "Don't call me Rae boy blunder."
"Fine then don't call me boy blunder."
"I can call you whatever I want traffic light." He couldn't help but glance down at his uniform.
"I don't look like a traffic light." Robin growled.
"Gosh those two fight like a married couple." Melvin whispered to Timmy.
It wasn't quiet enough, allowing both Raven and Robin to hear. Both blushed a little at that.
"Good-bye Raven." He quickly shut the communicator tossing it into the passenger seat.
Keeping his hand securely on the steering wheel, Robin quickly glanced at the mirror.
"So who wants to listen to some music?"
All four beamed excitedly.
"Ohh I want to listen to pop music!" Melvin shouted.
"No! The fwoggy song!"
"They don't play your stupid song on the radio." Melvin said irritably.
Timmy pouted, "The fwoggy song isn't stupid."
"Yes it is." Melvin stuck out her tongue at Timmy.
"No it's not."
"Yes"
"No"
"Yep, it's a lame song."
"No no no no!" The car began to shake, making it weave back and forth between lanes. Robin gripped the wheel, turning hard to regain control. All fighting ceased as it was replaced by a cry of fear. Teether, on the other hand, was in his car seat laughing and clapping his hands together unaware of the current danger. As soon as Robin directed the car back in the right lane, he whipped his head around and glared at them with a face that looked like shock and anger combined. His eyebrows began to twitch making the two flinch under his gaze.
"You know what? I'll choose the song." Keeping his hand now even tighter on the wheel and his eyes locked on the road he switched on the radio.
Melvin and Timmy groaned as they sat back in their seats, refusing to make eye contact with each other, and pouted.
For about half an hour, with the exception of the radio, the ride back to the tower was mostly quiet. Timmy and Melvin didn't make a sound but would exchange sour looks at each other. Bobby couldn't talk or even move, as he was crammed in the back of the car. As for Teether, he was fast asleep in his seat. Deciding to break the ice Robin glanced back at Melvin.
"So, what powers do you guys have?"
Melvin looked at him quizzically, "Didn't Raven tell you?"
"Nope"
"Well," She took a quick glimpse of Timmy, "Timmy Tantrum over there can cause earthquakes-" He stuck his tongue out at her then folded his arms and looked in the other direction. "-Teether can eat anything and spit it out into bullets, and I can make things come to life in my mind. Bobby is my friend that protects us all from danger."
Bobby grinned wide as he tried his best to make a fighting pose.
"Interesting, so are Timmy and Teether your brothers?" Robin asked.
"No, they just follow me around." Melvin rolled her eyes, "Everywhere."
"Oh"
A few more minutes of silence went by before Melvin spoke.
"You know when Raven was helping us escape from the brotherhood of evil, she mentioned you a lot."
Robin raised an eyebrow, "Really?"
Melvin smiled, "Yeah but mostly they were insults."
Robin almost let his head hit the wheel.
More silence.
"Do you like Raven?"
Now that got his attention. "Uh-" he chuckled nervously, "why would you ask me a question like that?"
"I don't know, I was just curious." Melvin smiled innocently.
Just then the communicator started to vibrate on the seat. Robin used his free hand to pick it up. Ironically Raven's face was shown on the screen.
"Hey Raven, long time no see."
Her facial expression changed to worry.
"Robin we have a problem."
