"If it protected Earth and this team. It isn't a human child anyway" Robin said glaring at her. "I expect the baby to be gone in the morning"
"The NERVE" Cyborg said as Robin left.
"I am going to try and change his mind" Starfire said leaving the room quickly.
"Rae, this isn't right and we wont let Robin kill the baby" Beast boy said softly looking at him.
"Why are you so sure that they will kill the baby, I thought Azarath was a peaceful planet" Cyborg said leaning against the wall.
"It wasn't always. The history of Azarath is a long battle between the demon populous and the priestesses and monks. There was a time of peace when a high priestess and a demon prince married as part of the treaty. It was long lived because both have long life spans. After a few centuries the demon populous pushed for a child between the unions. Someone of both races to rule but there is a strong belief that the high priestess should never have children and as part of her inauguration ceremony they strip her of the ability. The demons called foul and killed the priestess and started the war. As a result a small population of half demons appeared. They were shunned by both sides even though only a century before they were in demand." Raven said softly. "Soon the population of the priestesses and monks grew to outnumber the demons and they trapped them in hell taking over Azarath. Only a handful of demons were allowed to remain and forbidden to reproduce or marry across the population line. Half demons were hunted and killed. Then forty years ago High Priestess Azar Suszume rose to power. She was raped by the demons of hell while rescuing her sister, Angela Roth. Afterwards she returned Angela to Azarath where the former resumed her former life as Arella. Suszume soon figured out she was pregnant as did her sister. The only problem was that Suszume wasn't supposed to be able to get pregnant. She had been stripped of that ability upon becoming the high priestess. The monks immediately wanted to kill the babe but Arella pleaded in the child's behalf. And I was born a few months later, followed closely by Arella's child Sparrow"
"The monks immediately took me from my mother and dumped me in Arella's arms telling her that she was to raise me in her home and no one was to see me. I was a curse a monster. Sparrow and I were raised as sisters, and she loved me as such and stood up to me from the others who wanted to kill me. There were several attempted assassinations. Don't get my story wrong, I know Suszume well and she does love me as a mother should but she knows, like Robin, she has a greater duty to her country. She has reformed Azarath a lot, allowing the demon populous more rights but Arella is my mother. She raised me, and taught me everything that I know. Suszume named Sparrow her heir because she knew the world was not ready for a half demon priestess" Raven said looking at them.
"So this infant is your nephew" Cyborg said softly
"Yes and no. Arella wasn't really Suszume's sister. They were sisters like Starfire and I are, by spirit and emotion rather than by blood. Just as Sparrow and I are, he is part of my family and I will not leave him" Raven said softly looking down at him.
"What will you name him" Beast boy asked
"Phoenix, , as children she told me that if she was ever allowed a child what she would name it. If she had a little boy she would name him Phoenix, and a little girl she would name Dove" Raven said softly looking at the baby.
"Raven, where did you take the little girl" Starfire asked as she came into the room quietly. Her face telling them that Robin had not changed his mind.
"She's in a safe place now, I buried her with Terra" Raven said softly
"But you didn't like Terra" Starfire said softly
"I didn't have a problem with Terra in the beginning; she and I were friends until I confronted her about the whole stuff with Slade and something else." Raven said softly "I trust her to take care of the little girl in the next life because it can give her the one thing she always craved, love"
"It's getting late and Robin was serious about the baby not being here, as much as I disagree" Starfire said softly looking at them.
"I will leave," Raven said softly looking at them.
"You don't have to leave Raven; we won't let Robin do this" Beast boy said softly
"I have to leave; I won't be responsible for tearing the team apart. I know that Jinx is waiting for a team, her powers are similar to mine and she has control, let her be my replacement and you will be just fine" Raven said softly "Robin is right, keeping Phoenix here will put you all in danger because he doesn't have control of his powers."
"I don't like this, but alright" Cyborg said softly looking at her, he handed her a small communicator that was black with a violet raven on it. "This is so you can always contact us."
"Thank you, I'll be back one day" Raven said softly hugging them all. She kissed Beast boy on the cheek before disappearing completely, the soft ringing of her last words to Beast boy rang through the room "I promise"
Well there it is! Please Review and I hope you enjoyed!
