Parenthood
A/N: Hiya!
I've missed you guys! wipes away a tear. Before I start this story I want to tell you that Raven will never call the baby by its name. And its name is Evelyn. My friends thought I was sticking the name in for fun. I'm not. My friends are kind of slow. So this explanation was for them. Here's my update. Please enjoy!
I present to you, from the freaky imagination of Killer Sunset.
My next chapter!
Biye!
Raven made her way down the hall way and back to her room. All she wanted to do was pick up her book and try to forget all about everything that was constantly bothering her.
And as she reached the door to her room, she heard footsteps coming up behind her.
"What is it now Cyborg?" She asked. Blatantly annoyed.
"Raven, you'll have to watch Evelyn for me." He said.
Raven whipped around.
"Why do I have to watch it?" She asked starting to get angry.
"Because," he started calmly, "You told me to go to the store to get diapers. And I can't take a naked baby with me, so you'll have to baby sit."
He held the baby out to her.
"How about I go to the store." She said walking away, "You probably don't even know what diapers look like."
Then she phased through the wall before he could protest. He stood there and shrugged.
"Oh well. We're going to have fun together. Who needs that meanie anyways? Right?" He asked the baby.
It burped up a fireball that went out only inches from his face.
"We're going to have to fix that." He said and started to walk towards his room.
Raven flew over the city, thinking to herself.
She was so caught up in thought that she almost flew over the store she was looking for.
She silently landed on the sidewalk and headed through the double doors. She made her way though the isles and quickly found diapers.
She grabbed a pack and headed towards the cashier, who lazily rang her out.
In a few minutes she was back at the tower. As she opened the door she heard a loud boom and a crash.
She set the diapers down and looked for the source of the sound.
"AAAAHHH!"
After hearing the scream, Raven knew that it was coming from Cyborg's room.
She rounded a corner and walked down the hall.
A wide eyed Cyborg was leaning against a closed door. A loud boom was heard from behind the door and Cyborg struggled to keep it closed.
"What's going on?" Raven asked him.
"It's the baby! She's going on a rampage!" He told her frantically.
They both noticed that all was quiet now. Cyborg slowly backed away from the door.
Whatever was in the room exploded and the door went flying off of the hinges and crumpled against the wall. Smoke filled the hallway.
Giggling was heard from inside. Raven cautiously went into the room, fanning smoke away with her hand.
The baby was sitting on Cyborg's workbench, cooing and giggling at all the trouble it had caused.
"You love being destructive don't you?" She asked the baby who giggled in reply.
She picked the baby up and brought it back out into the hallway. Then she held it out for Cyborg to take.
"Uh…Maybe…maybe you should watch her for a while." He said.
"Why?" Raven asked.
"Well, because I've been watching her all this time and I'm kind of tired… and she blew out the circuits in my arm."
Raven noticed that his arm did look pretty beat up.
"Fine." She muttered, then she took the baby to her room leaving Cyborg standing in the hall.
Raven set the baby down at the foot of her bed then she sat down next to it. She picked up her book and tried reading again.
She was just starting to get back into her story when the baby started crying again. And to make things even better, the alarm started going off.
Raven growled and slammed her book shut. She picked the baby up and headed back towards the living room.
She sat down in front of the main computer, with the baby in her lap, and checked to see just who was breaking the law this time.
"What's up?" Cyborg asked coming through the double doors.
"The Hive Five. They robbed an electronics store." She turned to him.
The casing around his arm was gone, exposing its inner circuitry. Her frown deepened.
"Can you fix that in time to help me out?" She asked. He looked down at his arm.
"You go right now, I'll make some temporary fixes and catch up."
"And what about this?" Raven asked gesturing to the crying child in her lap. It was Cyborg's turn to frown.
"Raven, her name is Evelyn. And you can leave her with me."
"Good." Raven said before setting the little girl down and flying up and out of the tower.
"This was too easy." Jinx stated as she hauled a bag of electronics into a stolen Hummer.
"Of course it was, all those scum bag titans are gone." Gizmo said.
"I don't think so. The titans wouldn't leave the down unprotected." Jinx stated again as she hopped into the driver's seat.
Mammoth sat in the passenger's seat and See-More, Kid Wykkyd, and Billy Numerous squeezed into the back.
Jinx rolled down the window and checked again for any sign of the titans.
"Jinx forget about it. Like Gizmo said, the titans are gone. Now let's get back to base. I want that turkey leg in the fridge…mmmm…turkey." Mammoth said, licking his lips.
As Jinx started the engine, black magic encased the vehicle. The doors flew open and it was tipped onto its side.
All six of the Hive Five members fell out, onto the ground.
"You should listen to Jinx more often." Raven said as she landed on the ground.
Jinx shot a glare at her teammates who sweat dropped. The villains jumped to their feet and got ready to fight.
Then they noticed that only Raven was there. They started laughing.
"What? You thought you could take us all on by yourself? Talk about being overconfident!" Jinx laughed.
"You might change your mind once you look up." Raven told her.
The large, heavy Hummer was floating over Jinx's head.
It slammed down on top of her before she could even say; 'Oh shit!'
The other guys gasped and angrily attacked Raven.
"Hive Five, Alpha Attack Pattern 12!" Gizmo shouted to the team.
They all surrounded Raven and started bombing her with projectiles.
Gizmo attacked her with lasers, Billy, Mammoth and Kid Wykkyd threw random objects at her and See-More shot his eyeball-bombs.
They mercilessly fired at her for ten minutes. Smoke and dust rose all around them.
"Alright! I think we got her!" Gizmo shouted.
They stopped firing and waited for the smoke to clear.
Raven was encased in a black magic bubble. Totally unharmed.
"Well, that was useless." Raven stated as the bubble disappeared.
Suddenly, Raven was shot out of the air by a mass of hot pink magic.
"She's right. That was useless and that's the last time I let you guys create an attack." Jinx said standing up straight.
Nobody knew how she got out from under that Hummer.
Raven struggled to sit up as Jinx stood over her, smiling.
She pulled her fist back getting ready to hit Raven with more magic when a sonic blast hit her square in the chest sending her flying back into the Hummer.
Jinx slumped to the ground, unconscious. More blasts hit the other Hive members leaving them unconscious as well.
Cyborg rushed over to Raven and helped her up.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Headache." She murmured.
A police vehicle pulled up and officers started cuffing the thieves and taking them away.
Raven turned to Cyborg and noticed that he didn't have the baby.
"Where is it?" She asked him. He looked at her confused.
"Where's what?" He asked.
"The kid."
"Oh. Evelyn is in the T-Car."
"You brought it to a fight?"
"What else was I supposed to do?"
"Cyborg, you don't bring kids to fights. What if something had happened to it? It would be our fault." She said wagging a finger at him.
Cyborg stared at her then grinned.
"You sound so motherly." He told her.
She stared back at him for a second.
"Shut up."
"See Rae, I knew you cared!"
"I don't care and don't call me Rae."
"Come on. After how you just lectured me, there's no denying it now."
"Whatever." She said as she started walking back towards the T-Car.
She couldn't help wondering if she really did care…and if she did, then why?
Raven still wondered about her true feelings as she and Cyborg silently rode back to the tower.
Whew! That one was a tough chapter. Maybe it was tough because I forced myself to write with writer's block. Oh well. I'm sure ya'll don't care.
