Roadtrips and Babysitting

Chapter 9: Abduction at a Gas Station

"Yo! Don't be getting ice cream all over the seats!"

Quickly shoving the last bits of the soggy ice cream throat in his mouth, the green teenager sat in his seat uncomfortably under the angry cyborg's glare. Timmy let out a chuckle after witnessing Beast Boy's pained look from indigestion.

"I don't think Beast Boy feels good, his face is green." Melvin whispered while watching the different disturbing expressions that came across Beast Boy's face.

"His face is always green, and he doesn't feel good because he ate nothing but junk." Raven replied with no trace of sympathy for him.

"Ugh, I don't feel so good." Beast Boy moaned as he clutched his stomach. "I think I'm gonna-" He never finished as he puked into the unsuspecting tamaranian's lap. In the back seat, Timmy busted out into an uncontrollable laughter. Starfire shot her teammate a look of disgust while trying to keep from vomiting also.

"Eww." Timmy squealed, pointing to the glop that started to drip down her leg.

"Aw man! Not all over my baby. It'll take forever to get rid of the smell."

Raven folded her arms over her chest. "Leave it to Beast Boy to make a mess of everything." The accused teen scowled at the goth before wiping off the excess throw up from his chin.

"Yummy." Teether was just about to grab the undigested ice cream cone but was cut off by Bobby. The infant started to struggle against his grip but to no avail did he even make him flinch. Teether was about to cry but Raven willingly gave the infant a bowl of vanilla ice cream instead.

"Why don't we just pull over to the nearest gas station so we can get the T-car cleaned up and allow Star to get the vomit off her clothes?" By now Robin was irritated and just wanted to go home but the unpleasant stench was driving him mad. Cyborg didn't protest as he found an exit and started for a town near by.

A few minutes later, the T-car pulled into a station that looked like a large dump truck came and smothered the small building in sludge, garbage, and dirt. Overall, the place didn't look great. Stepping out of the car, Raven allowed Starfire to rush for the bathroom. As soon as Raven saw the structure, her stomach churned.

'Suddenly I feel like sitting in the puke infested cyber car isn't such a bad thing compared to this.'

After unbuckling "her kids," she started for the doors with her arm securely wrapped around Teether and Melvin, Bobby and Timmy following her inside. Stepping inside, the empath glanced around. She noticed how much nicer it was inside but also noticed that it was practically empty, almost like she was in a graveyard.

"Hello?"

The sound of sliding doors started her as she spun on her heel and prepared herself for battle.

"Woah there Raven, we're on the same side remember?" Robin chuckled nervously, holding his hands in the air. She sighed in relief, putting down Teether then turning back around to meet her leader's gaze.

"This place is completely empty, probably deserted years ago, but who would question that when it looks like a complete dump." Robin nodded, agreeing with Raven about the terrible appearance. Robin walked over into an aisle, picking up a bag of chips.

"I don't think so because these chips are still fresh according to the expiration date." Setting the bag back down he walked back over to where Raven was currently standing.

"Maybe someone scared off the cashier, and the customers." Raven hypothesized, still pondering over the different scenarios in her head.

"Yeah but by who?"

Suddenly, the two birds heard a scream coming from somewhere near the back of the store. They rushed forward and nearly gasped at what they where seeing.

"Oh look if it isn't the two birdies."

Mammoth held his arm firmly around Melvin while using his other arm to cover her mouth. Jinx was leaning against the freezer doors, propping her head up with her hand with a big smirk plastered across her face. More cries erupted throughout the room as the rest of the Hive had captured the remainder of the junior titans.

"Let…them…go…now!" Raven hissed while bringing some of her energy into her fists.

"What are you? Their mother?" Jinx raised her eyebrow.

By now, Robin had drawn his bow staff while keeping his eyes locked on Melvin and her captor. Anger stated to boil inside of Raven. "If you hurt them, I'll kill you"

"My my, don't you think that's a little dark?" The pink haired girl was clearly enjoying herself, not paying any attention to what she was getting herself into.

"You want dark? I'll show you dark." Raven growled but before she could take a step forward, Robin held his arm out to stop her.

"Don't, you'd only put them in more danger." She sighed, taking the time to calm her nerves but still, how she wished that she could knock that stupid grin off of that arrogant girl's face.

"What do you want from them?" Robin questioned.

Jinx glanced down at her nails in a casual way. "Daycare sweetie. Just thought we'd take them off your hands."

"Yeah right. Now what's the real reason."

"Wouldn't you like to know pit sniffers." Gizmo sneered.

Jinx rolled her eyes at her teammate's immature outburst, "Sorry, but we don't have time to talk. Gotta get these babies going."

"Oh you aren't going to be talking alright, once I rip off that snide smirk off your face." Raven finally reached her boiling point as she launched herself at the pink sorceress just before Robin could grab her. Jinx knew just what she was going to do she quickly jerked to the right so that she was right behind the angry titan. Jinx mumbled a spell under her breath and before Raven had time to get out of the way, she was sent toppling back into the concrete wall.

"Raven!" Robin hollered out. He was about to go after Jinx to back Raven up but Mammoth had cut him off.

"Nuh uh short stuff, you'll have to get through me-" He cut himself off as he held Melvin in front of him, "-and her first. And I really don't think that you'd want to hurt her now do you?" Cursing to himself, he lowered his bow staff.


Outside, Cyborg was just finishing up filling the car with fuel. After closing the lid to the tank, he could hear Beast Boy calling his name. Turning around, he saw his friend standing right infront of him with a worried look.

"No way grass stain, you messed up my car enough for one d-"

"They're in trouble!" Beast Boy hollered.

Cyborg looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Who's in trouble?"

"Raven, Robin, Melvin, Timmy, Teether, and Bobby. The Hive is inside the store and they're holding the kids captive! We have to hurry." Beast Boy extended his hand, morphing into different animals so he could pull Cyborg to the glass doors. Starfire, almost as if she had super hearing, quickly bolted out of the bathroom and followed them to the front.

"Dude, where are the door handles? We can't get in, they took away the handles!" Beast Boy screeched.

Cyborg slapped his forehead. He shoved his green friend to the side and walked up to the translucent doors and in swift motion, the doors slid open.

Beast Boy sweatdropped, "Um, I knew that I-uh, was just playing with ya." Starfire giggled as she followed her cybernetic teammate inside with Beast Boy not far behind.


Picking herself up off the floor, Raven launched another attack at Jinx only this time she was more focused so that she wouldn't be taken by surprise again.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Suddenly, the dark empath's body had become encased in magic. She launched her fist strait at her pink-haired opponent in blind fury. Jinx again had scooted to the side but wasn't quite quick enough and felt the impact of Raven's blow in the side of her ribcage. She tried her best to remain on her feet but couldn't help stumbling back a few feet.

"Go Raven! Beat the stuffing out of that jerk!" Melvin shouted but when she turned her head she saw the "imaginary daggers" that Bobby was sending her. The little girl sweatdropped, "Sorry Bobby."

The support from her friends seemed to have given her strength. Raven pulled her cape around her body and disappeared into the shadows. Everyone in the room started to look around in search of her, but all eyes drifted to Jinx when they saw that the dark empath was lingering right behind her.

"What are you idiots looking at?" Jinx exclaimed but froze when realization had hit her like a ton of bricks had been dropped on top of her head.

"No one and I mean no one touches MY kids." With one quick move, Raven had encased Jinx in her magic and shoved her clear across the store. Jinx slid across the top of the isles, knocking over various goods that came crashing down to the floor. Flying off the end of the shelf she landed hard on the tiled floor. The other four Hive members where speechless, looking at Raven in pure shock. Melvin took the opportunity to escape by kneeing Mammoth in the groin. The giant doubled over, while Melvin rushed over into Raven's arms.

Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy had taken the other captors by surprise by knocking them unconscious and freeing Bobby, Timmy and Teether.

The Titans didn't notice Jinx pulling herself out of the large pile of various items that had nearly buried her alive and staggering to her feet.

"You're going to regret that half-breed." Jinx growled as she started to gather her own magic in her hands. Again, she started to mumble a spell under her breath but it was loud enough for Raven to hear. After the third word, Raven's eyes widened.

"No, you'll end up killing us all." She hollered at Jinx, but it seemed like she wasn't even paying any mind to what Raven was saying as her voice started to grow louder. The dark bird quickly handed over Melvin to Robin and took off strait after Jinx.

"Raven wait!" Robin yelled after her holding Melvin in his arms.

"Raven!" All four screamed.

The empath grabbed Jinx by the scruff of her shirt and flew out of the gas station at top speed. As soon as Jinx had gathered enough energy, she thrusted her hand into the titan's gut. Jinx and Raven shot back in different directions. The impact of the strong hex had instantly knocked Raven unconscious and before she knew it she landed into a rundown shack.

"God no." Robin grunted, handing Melvin over to Cyborg and rushing out of the store to go after his fallen comrade.

"Wait for us friend." Starfire shouted as she held Teether in her arms and flew after Robin. Cyborg and Beast Boy lead Melvin and Bobby to the car and followed them in hopes that Raven was ok.
