CHAPTER THIRTEEN: Conspiracy
"Nightwing, don't you dare walk away from me!" Raven yelled as she followed behind Nightwing who carried Arella into the main room of Titans Tower.
"Forget it, Raven," Nightwing told her. "We have nothing to talk about."
"Stop and listen to me; you at least owe me that much!" Raven yelled.
"What for?" He continued to walk off.
"Just stop!" Raven shouted.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Nebula shouted, popping up from the semi-circle couch of the sitting area. She took off headphones that were on her head and her somewhat noticeable stomach. "What in the world is going on here? Geez! Woman and her unborn child can't even find a place to sit and listen to Mozart while they try to nap." She looked between them both, noting their angered faces. "I thought when you two started counseling, your problems would get better, not worse."
"There, Raven," Nightwing started. "You want someone to stop and listen? Talk to Dragon Nebula, your emotional crutch." He then stormed out of the room, taking Arella with him.
Nebula narrowed her eyes. "Raven, before I go to my room, grab my bat and clock your husband, I'll ask this: What happened after you all went to get tested for AIDS?"
"What were you doing in here?" Raven asked dejectedly.
"Testing this theory my husband read about," Nebula replied. "He read that if you expose a fetus to classical music early on, it improves their IQ. It may be helping the baby, but it's giving me a nap I didn't plan on taking. This crap is boring! But enough about that. Who did what and who do I have to fight today?"
"We got our test results back. Good news: Arella and Nightwing don't have AIDS," Raven explained.
"That's great!" Nebula said happily, but suddenly became confused as to why they were fighting. "That is good right? Both of your moralities don't need checking, do they?"
"No."
"Then what the heck is the drama for?"
"The doctors said that there was no possible way that I could have gotten the disease from Nightwing."
"Say what?" Nebula asked in disbelief. "Let me break this down so I can understand this: Nightwing cheated on you, correct?"
Raven nodded.
"Okay and he was the one that passed the disease on to you and Arella, right?
Raven nodded again.
"So when you went to the clinic to see if they were positive or negative, they both tested negative, but then they told you that there was no possible way that you could have gotten it from Nightwing in the first place which would imply that…" Nebula gasped.
Raven nodded hopelessly.
Nebula hit Raven hard on her arm.
"Oww!" Raven interjected. "What was that for?"
"You're nasty, cruel, and dishonest!" Nebula yelled. "You're unfaithful, too and you….?"
"Nebula…"
"After all I did for you, you couldn't remember to tell me that you had your freaky side, too? Wait a minute; you said that the disease might have affected Arella, too?" She gasped. "The baby might not even be Nightwing's? What is wrong with you two? Your brain's are broken or something."
"Are you finished?" Raven asked dully. "You have no right to judge me."
"Don't I?"
"Did you not hear me when I said Arella never had the disease to begin with?" Raven asked dully.
Just as Nebula was about to retort something back, she stopped at a loss for words. "Okay, how does that work?"
"I never cheated on Nightwing which means something is very wrong here."
Nebula clicked her tongue. "I'll go with that. That's legit. Grab Starfire. We're doing a little digging."
"Right," Raven nodded, leaving the room.
"Before we start, we need to go to the grocery store."
Raven stopped. "What for?"
"Because I need Vaseline and a pair of those ten dollar, tie up tennis shoes; that's what for," Nebula replied.
"Huh?"
"You and Star have powers, I'm still on the fritz, remember? If I'm fighting, I'm fighting comfortably."
Raven nodded hopelessly again.
