Raven woke to the smell of food and the sound of Nicholas talking. She sat up and looked around to see that she was in her room. She yawned and muttered a few words. She got out of bed and walked to the kitchen.
"Do you have to leave for Gotham?" Nicholas with a whine. " It 's to far away."
"I want to take you with me but I have to ask your mother first, Also I want to bring her too but she's working." Dick said. Raven peeked in the kitchen to Dick and Nicholas was by the sink. Nicholas was helping Dick clean up the dishes, Raven smiled. Dick clean the dishes while Nicholas dried them. " Damian could probably help you with gymnastics."
Nicholas made a sound. " How come Uncle Tim can't help me?"
"Uncle Tim is going to Jump City to help some of friends." Dick said.
"Awwwww. That even more far away." Nicholas muttered.
"He's only going to be gone for a week. During that week Starfire is coming for a visit. Right?" Dick asked.
"Yeah. Aunt Kori is coming over." Nicholas said happily. " Mommy said that you two are really close."
"We were. She's one of my best friends." Dick said with a shrug. Nicholas looked up at Dick. " We used to date before but it didn't work out. In this world, me and your Aunt Kori weren't meant to be."
"This world?" Nicholas asked out of confusion.
" You're mother didn't tell you about that yet." Dick said with a laugh. "She travels to other worlds and we were stuck in one. "
"How do Mommy's powers work?" Nicholas asked. Dick blinked and smiled at Nicholas.
"I'm pretty sure that your mother told you." Dick said.
"She did but I never have seen her use her powers. " Nicholas said. " She said that it could be dangerous sometimes. Sometimes we could end up in a dangerous situation."
"Yeah. That happens more than none." Dick said. " Maybe you should ask her. I'm sure she knows that you're curious."
"How?" Nicholas asked. Dick nudge his head to the kitchen entrance and Nicholas looked over to the door to Raven. His eyes widen. "Mommy. You're awake."
"Yeah.I am." Raven said while walking over to them. " The last thing I remember is that I was asleep on the sofa."
" That because I took you to your room." Dick said to Raven. He cleaned the last dish and Nicholas wiped it. "When I came back to check on you two to make sure that you were alright. I saw you sleeping on the sofa."
"I was only going to take a small nap. I was probably more exhausted than I thought." Raven said.
"Maybe you should take a vacation." Dick said. Raven frowned and shook her head."Raven, a vacation will do you some good. Especially away from that doctor."
"Not you too." Raven groaned.
"He's creepy." Nicholas called out. Raven sighed and rubbed her forehead. Dick his head in agreement.
Raven couldn't defend Doctor Jamie this time. She won't call him creepy, he was getting more annoying and less pleasant to be around. He stared at her too much and he made her very uncomfortable. He kept trying to ask her on her a date despite her feelings. She wondered if he was always like that and how she missed it.
She probably wasn't paying attention due to exhaustion or she had other things on her mind.
Dick handed Raven a hot cup of tea and she took it. " I know he's your coworker and you have to work with him. I just don't like him."
"He's creepy."Nicholas repeated and Dick sighed. He looked at Nicholas. " Shouldn't you get really for school?"
Nicholas sighed and hopped off the stool. He ran off while Raven sighed.
"You're not the only one Dick. He's getting more annoying each day." Raven muttered. Raven looked up at Dick with a frown. "Tim is heading to Jump city?"
Dick nodded his head. "Only for a week. The Titans need his help with something. I don't know what it is yet. I would go but I have work and Nicholas. I don't wanna leave him right away."
"I see." Raven said. She took a sip of her tea and sighed heavenly. She looked up at Dick. " I also overheard that you'll be going to Gotham this week as well."
" It's just for the day. So Starfire could have some time with him."Dick said. Raven stared at him with her atms crossed. "What is it?"
"You'll have to face her Dick. She'll be very happy to see you." Raven said while watching him Dick smiled at her and touched her face.
"I know but I really don't wanna face her anger." Dick said. Raven blushed and nuzzled in his hands. Dick smiled.
"She'll understand." Raven said quietly.
"I even left just like...him." Dick said. Raven sighed.
"You were planning to come back but something went wrong. He left her alone. It was reasonable but he knew that he'll never see her again." Raven whispered. "So it was nothing like him."
" Have you ever thought about finding him?" Dick asked. Raven shook her head and goes to put her tea. "Come on it can't be too hard to find him."
"There is a possibility that he could be happy with this woman. There could be a chance that he lied to Starfire and ran off to some other woman." Raven said.
"I think you might be overthinking that. " Dick said. Raven frowned and glared. Dick laughed walked over to her. He took her empty cup and cleaned it up. "I mean it Rae. He really doesn't seem like that type of guy and you met him."
"I did." Raven said sadly. "I thought he would stay with her for a very long time. I was wrong about that."
"What if you were right and they see each other again." Dick said. Raven sighed. "You could never know Rae."
"I don't know how you could be so positive about this." Raven said with a frown.
"The way Starfire talked about him before, I don't think he will hurt her on purpose." Dick said quietly. Raven nodded her head slowly. " Beside, we got to see each other again."
"I just want her to be happy." Raven said. Dick nodded his head.
"Me too." Dick said.
"I'm ready." Nicholas called out. Raven and Dick looked over to Nicholas. He was all dressed for school and had his backpack. Dick had a big smiled on his face.
"That's great. Do you have any classes today?" Dick asked.
"I just had training with you." Nicholas said while he thinks about it. " Nothing else."
" Can I join you two?" Raven asked them. Nicholas and Dick looked over to Raven. The both of them stared at her. " I maybe a bit rough in some cases but.."
"Okay." Nicholas said happily. Dick smiled and nodded his head. Raven smiled a bit. "Today? Right."
"Yeah. I'll even leave work early too." Raven said. Nicholas jumped up and down. Nicholas ran over to Raven and hugged her. Raven smiled and hugged her back."Now go to school."
Nicholas nodded his head and he ran to the door. Dick laughed and looked at Raven. "We'll see you at the safe house later." Dick said to Raven. Raven nodded her head.
"Alright. You go as well." Raven said while she motioned him to move. Dick smiled and he left.
Lacey sighed while she walked into the office with a deep frown on her face. Her boss was a lot more tense than usual and was staring at the monitors nonstop. Some monitors were showing parts of the warehouse while others were showing random places. His back was turned as he tapped his feet. He wore a dirty sky blue suit with yellow stripes on it.
The monitors keep on switching so many times it gave her a headache. Seriously, how can he not have a headache from all the flashing and changing the cameras? " Mr. Grin, sir." Lacy said in a sweet tone.
" Don't call me that." the man called Grin said. Lacey wanted to puke but said nothing. Call me sweety. We're supposed to be married."
'Like hell we are.' Lacey thought with disgust. She still had a fake smile on her face. "I'm sorry, sweetie."
" Thank you. For a minute there I thought you didn't love me." said happily. Lacey smiled never faltered. "So what can I help you with?"
"Sweetie, isn't it a bit too risky to do this. We could lose another child because of this." Lacey said with a worried frown. She really could care less about the brats but she had to act like she cared. The last time she didn't act like cared he threw things at her.
"I don't think we'll lose anymore child this time lovebug." Grins said happily. The monitors stopped flashing and it stopped at some schools. A few middle schools, elementary school, and some centers. " Besides this will be good for our children." he said a bit too happily. "Getting new brothers and sisters."
Lacey gulped as she looked at the screens.
Stuff is going to happen. The reason I'm going slow with this because I'm thinking about how this processing.
