A/N: I locked myself in my room to escape my sister. She had too much chocolate or something so she is exceptionally hyper. So to pass the time I think I'll get started with chapter three of my awesome story. Ok so here you guys go.
Roadtrips and BabysittingChapter 3: Kids Don't Try This at Home
"Hey Raven, long time no see."
Her facial expression changed to worry.
"Robin we have a problem."
He looked at her questionably, not sure what she was talking about. "What do you mean? Everything's fine here-"
"No it's far beyond fine. Robin, it's the Hive."
Pausing for a second, Robin glanced back at the others who where sitting quietly in their seats. Holding the communicator closer he whispered, "What about the Hive?"
"They've found out where you are. They're about two miles behind, and approaching fast."
Peering out the window his eyes could barely see a dragster picking up a large amount of dirt. With each second that passed, the silhouette of the car increased little by little in size.
"Ok, that's it, I'm coming over."
"No way, I got this. I'll see you at the tower."
"Wait Ro-" Before she could finish Robin hung up, and tightened his seatbelt.
"Everyone tighten your seatbelts and hang on."
Everyone did as they were told, tightening it until they could barely move. Robin stepped on the gas making the car accelerate faster. The car soon began to fill with screams of amusement.
"Faster! Faster!" Teether shouted as he threw his hands up in the air.
Up ahead was a cliff that separated Steel City from the other town. Robin started to get nervous, deciding whether he should stop or keep going in hopes they'd make it over the cliff. 'Raven's going to kill me if they get hurt, she'll kill me if I let the Hive catch up.' So ignoring the danger, he kept going. As they got closer beads of sweat started to come down his face. He bit his tongue focusing on how much speed he would need to jump the cliff.
"They're catching up!" Melvin shouted.
Bobby started to growl at the car that was closing in on them, threatening them with his sharp teeth and his glare that would send shivers down your spine. Robin turned his head around and shouted at them to brace themselves. Melvin covered her eyes as she grabbed Timmy's hand. Timmy hugged his blanket with the other hand while gripping Melvin's hand tightly. Bobby placed his paw on Teether to calm him down. In a few seconds Robin drove the car off the ledge and they were in the air. They could hear the screeching sound of tires and a few people yelling and cursing that soon lead to arguing in the background. Finally, the car landed swiftly on the other side and sped away.
Not realizing they were holding their breaths, everyone in the car took a deep breath of air.
"That wasn't so bad was it?"
In the passenger seat, the screen flipped on to Raven's angry face. With the look on her face they knew this was not going to go well.
'Ok, maybe not.' He sweatdropped as she began to fume.
"What the hell did you think you were doing? You could have killed them! Where on Earth did you ever get your license?" She practically screamed into the communicator. He could practically feel his ears bleeding from inside his head. Her loud yelling scarred Teether who began to bawl. Bobby tried urgently to calm him down, while the other two held their ears.
"Raven, Raven! Calm down. They're fine see-" He moved so that Raven had a clear view of everyone.
Something in the background shattered, most likely from Raven's uncontrolled emotions. She let out a sigh and chanted her meditation phrase to herself to draw back the escaping energy that was causing major damage to whatever room she was in.
"If I hadn't jumped, they would've been captured and you would be yelling at me for that. So tell me Raven, what could of I have done better?" Robin's gaze hardened at the screen.
"Tell me what would you have done that I didn't do?"
Raven was speechless. Her expression started to lessen as her eyes drifted to the floor.
"I…I'm sorry. It's just; they mean so much to me. Like my younger siblings. I…I just don't want anything to happen to them." Raven's eyes drifted back to Robin's face.
Robin playfully pouted, "Hey what about me?"
Melvin giggled, making everyone else try to hold back their laughter. Raven just looked blankly back at Robin with an 'Are-you-kidding-me' look.
"C'mon wouldn't you care about me if I got hurt? Or maybe died?"
"Well yeah, I mean we'd have to go through all the trouble of finding a new leader-"
"Ok well if your going to be so negative then I'll just hang up then." With a mischievous grin, he slowly moved his hand to the side of the phone.
"Wait."
Robin's grin widened. "Yes?"
"The off button is on the other side. Unless you're planning to send a distress call to the rest of the team."
"Oh right. Well, we'll see you at the tower in about forty-five minutes."
Raven paused but then spoke.
"And yes, it would matter to me if you died. See you when you arrive."
The connection disconnected as Robin just looked blankly at the darkened screen.
"Robin?" Melvin asked.
"Hmm?"
"That truck is heading towards us."
He jolted out of his trance as he jerked the steering wheel hard to the side. Having the window down, all passengers in the car could hear the loud horn from the truck and heard the driver shout, "Get off your cell you numbskull!"
"Sorry" Robin shouted out his window as he quickly set his eyes back on the road.
"Maybe this is why I drive motorcycles." He mumbled to himself as he glanced at the oncoming sign that hung right above the highway.
Jump City200 Miles
"We'll be back at the tower shortly guys. You'll be able to see Raven again." He smiled into the mirror as all four heads shot up with excitement evident on their face.
"Jump City here we come."
A/N: Sorry if this chapter sucked, I had major writer's block. I also got a headache after my sister picked the lock and started ranting on about how hyper she was. So to fix my problem, I asked my mom if she had extra tape and boy do I worship the very man who invented it. Anyway, let me know if it was at least ok (no flaming the pairing! I will say it again, NO FLAMES ON ROBXRAE! My story, my rules) thanks again for being awesome people and giving me the inspiration to keep writing this. R&R :)
