Reunion

I was awoken the next day, not by my totally annoying alarm clock, but by mom opening my blinds to reveal the blinding light of the sun which was already up in the sky. I groaned and pulled my comforter over my eyes. A managed to say in a somewhat coherent way "What time is it, Mom?" I heard her chuckle as she said "It's 10 a.m. Honey." It took me a few minutes to wrap my mind around her comment. As the weight of her words sunk in the fog, that seemed to have invaded my mind in my sleep, dissipated. "What!? I was supposed to be at school four hours ago!"

I threw the comforter back as I realized that I was going to miss the last day of school. I quickly pulled off the top of my PJs and then my bottoms. I begin digging through the piles of dirty clothing on the floor trying to find clean clothes. My search was interrupted when mom said "Raegan I called the school. Told them you had the flu."

I turned around still only wearing my undergarments and said "Why?" Mom handed me a set of clean clothes and I quickly began to clothe myself. They were a black T-shirt, a pair of loose fitting blue jeans and a blue baggy hoodie. I finished dressing I asked my question again while pulling my hoodie on over my head "Why'd you call me in sick?" I listened as mom said "The Titans are having a reunion and I was hoping you'd come with me." I looked over her shoulder and said "How are we gonna get there? We don't have a car."

I sat on my bed and pulled on my blue cloth boots which used to belong to mom. I stood up walked over to my closet and grabbed my weekend bag. I grabbed a few books off of the selves and the one off of my nightstand and stuffed them in my Bag. I felt moms mood change from nervous to elated.

She hurried me out of my room and into the living room. When we stopped she began grooming me running her fingers through my bed head. I pulled away and said "Mom. How are we gonna get to Titans Tower?" suddenly there was a knock, well more like a bang, at the door and my mom levitated over to the door. She never levitated in the house. Sure she used her other powers in the house but she never levitated in the house. When she opened the door I saw someone I hadn't seen since I was eight, Cyborg of the Titans. I looked to mom and asked "So is Uncle Cyborg our ride?" I tried to keep the enthusiasm in my voice hidden as I seeing Cyborg again made me happy.

I was leaning against the wall when suddenly I was being embraced in a bear hug by Cyborg. I looked up into his eye and said "Hey you're kinda crushing me." he let go I looked to mom as he said "Well we better get going we don't want to keep the party waiting." As we walked out I heard Cyborg make a quip that made no sense "Raven I made waffles just for you. I know how much you like waffles." Mom threw him a glare, that Cyborg just laughed off, and said sarcastically "Wonderful." Although I could tell she was happy about the waffles.

We got in the T-car and I quickly buckled my seat belt. I had been forced to sit in the back but Cyborg said that I could tell him when to speed up or slow down. The engine revved and I knew that it would be a short trip. I quickly said "Fast. Really Fast." Cyborg let out his trademark "Booyah!" and slammed on the gas. As the world sped by I couldn't help but think about my first encounter with my robotic Uncle.
