Jake sighed and rang the doorbell to the T tower.
Nightwing opened the door and said
"Hey there, Jake, what are you doing here? We weren't expecting you- Ravenie didn't tell us you were coming!"
"Well sir, she...kindda didn't know I was coming too- it was sort of a surprise-visit or else a last minute decision- I really don't know." Jake said.
"Well...I must say I'm surprised, Jake. Shouldn't you be home- packing? You've got to go back to the program tomorrow you know, and, despite everything that happened, I know my father. Batman's not going to go easy on you two just because it's your first day back. It wouldn't do you any good to be tired from lack of sleep tomorrow because you're up late packing. And you know, it wouldn't do HER any good either."
"No worries, Nightwing. I wasn't expecting Batman to be gentle with us. Trust me." Jake said bitterly.
Nightwing understood his tone too well.
"Look," he began "I know Batman. He's not going to be easy, that's true. But he's not going to put you through hell either. You're his favorite student- he said so himself, and she's his granddaughter. Relax, besides, he doesn't think you guys were really guilty of The Flash's murder- I know that for sure."
Jake mentally let out a groan. Apparently Ravenie still hadn't told her family they weren't going back to the program.
"May I go in?" Jake asked, anxious to get off the topic.
"Of course boy, you can." Nightwing said and Jake started to go inside but halfway through the door Nightwing caught his arm and said "But-"
Yet Nightwing didn't get to finish what he was saying for Jake's hands began to glow dark blue, his mantra surrounding him as it so often did for his mother and a couple of objects went flying through the room. Nightwing backed off immediately.
"Whoa, whoa, take it easy, Jake. Calm down, I mean you no harm. You know that." Nightwing said, holding his hands in the air.
Jake blushed and his powers immediately dropped. He hadn't meant to do that. It had just happened. It had been happening quite often these days whenever somebody took him by surprise.
"I-I'm so sorry Nightwing, I-I didn't mean to do it- I swear! I-I don't know what happened- I-" he stammered.
Nightwing held up a hand to silence him.
"It's okay, Jake. It's no big deal really, it used to happen all the time with your mother. You didn't hurt anybody. Besides, it's normal you're so jumpy. What with everything you've gone through and then the news that Creak's possibly out here-"
"You know that?" Jake asked, interrupting him.
Nightwing laughed.
"Of course I know, kiddo. I'm leader of the Teen Titans. It's my job to know. Jinx and Kid Flash informed me almost as soon as they figured it out themselves, however, Ravenie DOESN'T know, so I'd appreciate it very much that you don't tell her anything- understood?"
"Yes sir." Jake said.
"Okay Jake, before you come inside I want you to make me a promise." Nightwing said.
"What is it-sir?" Jake asked.
Nightwing sighed, he seemed very troubled, now that Jake came to think of it.
"Look, I'm uneasy okay? I don't like this one bit. I'm afraid for my daughter. She's been through so much already and I couldn't protect her. And now that maniac boy is out there to get her and I'll be miles and miles away from her- I won't be able to save her if he attacks. I want to know- can I trust you, Jake?"
"Of course," Jake replied instantly "Always."
"Will you look after her for me?" Nightwing asked him "Protect her for me?"
"Yes sir- always." Jake said "And at all costs. I love her. I would die for her- to save her." a lump formed in his throat once he said these words because he remembered his family's pained expressions when he'd said this earlier. Yet, even that couldn't stop his words from being a hundred percent true. He would do it. He would die in order to save her- if that's what it took to save her.
Nightwing smiled, relieved and let Jake come inside the T tower.
Jake went up the stairs and knocked lightly on Ravenie's door.
"Come in!" he heard Ravenie say from behind the door, so he opened it.
Ravenie was lying on her bed throwing a ball to the ceiling and catching it again- she looked quite bored but when she saw Jake, she immediately jumped up and ran to him.
"Whoa, watch out!" Jake said as she embraced him with such a force that nearly made them both fall down.
Ravenie kissed him hard, Jake kissed her back- it felt good to just be there with her.
"What are you doing here?" she asked him.
"Why? Didn't want to see me?" Jake joked.
"No! Of course I wanted to see you- it's just- I wasn't expecting you- I-I- I'm not ready! My hair! It's a mess! Oh God! Don't look at me Jake!" Ravenie said covering her face with her hands.
Jake gently pried her hands away from her face.
"You kidding me?" he asked her "You look beautiful baby!"
"I love you!" Ravenie told him and Jake smiled, glad to hear that.
"I love you too, but you're going to have to repeat that in front of Summer- I don't think she believes you." Jake said and then told her all which Summer had said.
Once he was done telling her, Ravenie was quiet.
"Your sister doesn't like me at all- does she?" she asked him.
"Not much." Jake admitted.
"Why? What have I ever done to her?" Ravenie asked, tears threatening to fall now.
"Woah- you're not going to start crying just because of what my sister said- are you?" Jake asked her surprised, as he wiped a tear away.
"I-I don't know what's wrong with me," Ravenie blubbered "M-m-must be the b-b-baby." and she clutched her still-flat stomach.
Jake smiled and gently stroked her hair until she calmed down. He then got on his knees and kissed Ravenie's stomach.
"Don't make mommy upset alright?" he told his child. Whoa. HIS child. Jake shuddered. He still wasn't used to that idea.
Ravenie laughed and hugged him.
"What? No kiss?" Jake pouted.
Ravenie laughed and kissed him on the lips, lightly at first but it grew more urgent with each passing second. Jake picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his thighs. Jake moaned and Ravenie used this opportunity to get her tongue inside his mouth and while their tongues fought for dominance Jake set her on the bed, hovering above her.
They both pulled away, breathless.
"Why is it that with you, we ALWAYS end up in this position?" Ravenie teased Jake.
"I don't know. Your fault for being so hot." Jake replied, grinning.
"MY fault or YOUR fault for not being able to control your hormones?" Ravenie asked him.
"Both," Jake replied kissing her.
"Mmm...baby stop it." Ravenie said.
"Why?" Jake asked, disappointed.
"Because...do you honestly think my family won't notice anything if we start having sex right now- what with all our moans, screams and everything? Are you suicidal Jake? Because my father would surely do the work for Creak if he caught us doing this."
"You're right," Jake said "Speaking about Creak- you haven't told you're parents you're not going back to the program yet, have you?"
Ravenie bit her lip.
"No, not yet. But I'm doing it tonight." she said.
"Won't your father be angry with you for dropping out?" Jake asked her.
"Not really," Ravenie said with a shrug "He didn't want me to go back anyways. When are YOU going to tell YOUR parents you're not going back?" she asked.
Jake sighed.
"As soon as I get back home."
"Oh, okay." Ravenie said.
Jake sighed again.
"I'm...also dropping the bomb about- you know- that you're- pregnant- to my parents today."
Ravenie grimmaced.
"Good luck," she told him "I won't tell me dad until after we can find some people to protect you from him."
"Yeah," Jake agreed quickly "Better not tell your dad, yet. I like my face the way it is now."
Ravenie hugged him hard.
"I'm scared Jake," she whispered, she seemed mortified.
"Me too baby," Jake said while stroking her back "Me too."
"No," she whispered, breaking away from his embrace "You don't understand," she said "What if I'm not a good mother?"
"Oh Ravenie, you'll be the best." Jake assured her, then, he said the words which he had been thinking all along but had ignored "I don't know if I'LL be a good enough father."
"Oh Jake, what did we get ourselves into?"Ravenie whispered.
"Baby," Jake told her "I really don't know..."
