Chapter four, SURPRISES..
Summary It has been almost a month since Tara's funeral, and Gar has a couple of surprises coming his way you decide..
He remembered the Day Raven had just disappeared. The next day he and Terra had one of their worst arguments he could remember before their wedding. He almost broke off with her right then and there after she had tried to stop him from looking for her. He never remembered being as angry at Terra when he bit her head off saying "just because you and Raven aren't the best of friends don't think for a moment that I'm going to turn my back on her!" he searched for a whole week not even finding so much as a violet hair, he checked all of her favorite places her favorite café, the book store, and nothing until he had to call the search off because Red X was Robbing a tech lab.
As he closed the scrap book he remembered how close he and Raven had gotten before terra had came back. Now he wished they hadn't of done what they did the day of the funeral because he needed someone to talk to, the clinic he had sent the D.N.A. to said it would be two weeks at the least before he got any results back and he didn't know what he would do if they came back negative. If he wasn't actually his son he doubted he could ever forgive Tara.. But he was growing to love him, it broke his heart every morning when he had to give him over to the baby sitter so he could go back to work.
Everyone seemed to be happy he was back. He never had seen Lucky so happy as when he came back in that day for the first time, swinging figure eights between his legs as he checked up on the various residents. The only reason Beast Boy hadn't taken Lucky home himself was Terra had told him soon after they were married she was allergic to cats and dogs. Which confused him as he had turned into both plenty of times around her and it never seemed to have bothered her.
Waking up that Morning Raven had called her doctor about complaints of what she thought was a stomach flu.. Putting her writing aside that morning she made an appointment. And when she found out the source of her stomach problem she didn't know who she wanted to kill more the Dr. or Gar.. "But I've only.. You know once," "it only takes Once Ms Roth its more like a lottery yes the more times you Do it, the greater your chances but sometimes the first time is all it needs."
As she was driving away from the doctor she was doing something she hated talking on the cell phone while driving.. "Star I don't know whether to be happy or choke the life out of him! I mean yes I've wanted to be a mother eventually but what the hell should I do, my writing makes a comfortable living for one person.. Not a lot but enough my bills are paid." "you've got to be joking what the hell am I going to say with him hey Gar I know we haven't talked in a long time and sorry about the whole freak out thing but hey you know about the night after the funeral well your gonna be a daddy again?" "no of course I wasn't serious we've talked about sarcasm before Star!"
meanwhile somewhere in the slums of Jump city a man who formerly was one of the "Great, villains" of jump city was drinking out of a paper sack slumped against a condemned building singing american pie rather off key. Why was he so drunk in the middle of daylight? cause he could since the disbanding of the titans supervillains slumped almost 85 after all what was the real point of getting into some ridiculous get up have an over the top ridiculously complex plan when your just as likely to get away as some punk kid with panty hose on his head.
half of the thrill of the old days was seeing who would win the day today.. he was dirty, shabled yet even without his costume he still looked similar to the former titan leader. though while most of the old villain crowd were celebrating he was depressed, over the later years as a villain he had grown a sort of grudging respect.. and more than once had shared a bed with the deceased titan. the last time being late winter.. not as villain and heroine, like it had started but over time they would meet from time to time to "talk"while he was a notorious ladies man when he Was the infamous Red X, she probably was the closest thing to an actual relationship he had ever had.
He always whondered why she had fallen for the green one, in his view the weakest.. and most pathetic of the team. easily knocked out, usually chose the wrong animal for the job anyway.. add to the fact for most of the years he battled the titans he looked like an anorexic girl.. all she ever said was he makes me laugh.. despite the fact he knew she was far from faithful to her husband he knew she actually felt bad sometimes when they were.. indesposed, he pitied and envied the shapeshifter at the same time some days. the day she died she told him that she wasnt sure if it was his or the shapeshifter's not even half an hour later she died in a car accident, some idiot talking on their cell phone T-boned her car the force causing internal bleeding and loss of consciousness. he had managed to sneak into the hospital finding her already dead.. he assumed his possible child dead along with her. he tipped some of his bourbon onto the street in rememberance.
Meanwhile the Day had finally come Garfield Logan held the envelope that would change his life one way or the other. positive or negative.. Father or not.. his hands shaking as he tore open the envelope unfolded the letter "Dear Mr. Logan in Regards to the D.N.A. in question that you are..
