Raven was in Starfire's room with her, and they were chatting happily,
without any worry, when suddenly Starfire fainted. Raven moved quickly to
her, trying to help her, but she only saw her friends abdomen growing up
fast like bread in a oven: it grooved up until it reached the top of the
room, then exploded without a noise, and a dark figure emerged from the
corps of her friend. It was a red tall man with white air and red eyes; it
was her father Trigon.
"What have you done her?" she shouted, trembling for the rage
"I've killed her, daughter. I thought you were smart enough to understand that" replied the demon in a loud and terrible voice, laughing.
"You bastard" shouted Raven, and attacked him with all her rage.
Trigon just looked her, and when she went too near him, he gave her a punch which threw her on a wall like a broken doll.
Raven woke up, shouting. She was breathing heavily and she was covered of drip.
"It's only a nightmare, only a nightmare" she started to repeat to herself to try to convince herself of what she was thinking. When she felt strong enough to open her eyes, she recognised Starfire's room; she started to shiver weakly.
"Star, are you here?" said in a scared voice, fearing the answer.
"You woke up, finally...".
Raven made out a loud gasp. The voice didn't belonged neither to Starfire, nor to her father: it was a deep, sad and unknown voice. Raven lifted slowly her eyes from her hands and looked the voice's owner. She saw nothing but a dark hooded figure sitting at the feet of the bed.
"Who are you?" she asked with a voice divided between the marvel and the fear.
"Good question, but I can turn it to yourself..."
Raven stared at the dark figure. Who the hell was this guy?
"What are you doing here? What have you done to my friends?"
"Nothing... for now..."
Raven moved under the bed sheets, ready to attack the figure. She didn't knew who he was but she wouldn't surely allow him hurts her friends. In a second, the bed sheets flew away from her and she attacked the figure with a kick yelling "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!", but hit nothing but air. She looked around, ready to attack him another time, but he was vanished. Suddenly, his voice talked in her mind:
"I was here to warn you... We'll meet again, Raven, daughter of Trigon. Farewell."
Raven woke up, screaming, but this time she was in the real world, she knew. She started to pant, waiting something that never come. She was waiting another nightmare, but instead of that, two arms hold her and a voice spoke: "Hey Raven, is everything alright? You had a nightmare?"
It was Starfire's voice.
The morning after, the titans were sitting around the kitchen's table, eating silently their breakfast: everyone was to busy to follow the path of his thoughts to say a word. It was Friday: that night everybody would have meet someone, and was preparing himself for that. For Starfire the night would have be the moment of the truth: she'd have tell to Robin she was pregnant, either because her grooved up tummy was every day more difficult to hide. Raven and Beast Boy were busy in a strange game made of sneaking looks of the other, and rapidly smiles of shame. Robin was planning his evening with Starfire, ignoring that all his plans would have been broke. Cyborg was thinking nervously of someone, and sometimes he sighed worried. When they finally finished the breakfast, Beast Boy and Cyborg started washing the dishes, while Starfire and Raven moved to the couch. Robin remained sit on the table, looking her boyfriend and thinking how luck he was. He smiled and stood up, looking for something more to eat: he opened the fridge and find the complete emptiness: someone ate everything in the fridge! He stared at the white walls of the fridge and then exclaimed:
"Hey, who ate our provisions? We bought them yesterday! We're out of everything!"
Starfire tried to hide herself behind the couch and covered her head with Raven's cape: she had ate everything because she was hungry... In the end, she was pregnant she had to eat for two. Cyborg laughed:
"I didn't hate it, take this for sure: who will be so crazy to eat B.B.'s tofu?"
"Hey, just because you're a damned meat eater it doesn't mean that you can joke about my food!"
"Ok, come on, I was just kidding... You're susceptible today, aren't ya?"
"Cut it now guys, we need to buy some new food... Who's free today?"
Everybody started to do something, trying to seem as busiest as possible. Robin looked all them and then sighed:
"All right, I'll go this time..."
"Wait! I'll come with you!" said Starfire.
Robin's eyes smiled underneath his mask: finally he had the chance to spend some time alone with Star!
"All right, I'll wait you..."
Starfire emerged from her refuge and flew net to Robin, smiling. Robin offered her his arm and they exited the room.
"What have you done her?" she shouted, trembling for the rage
"I've killed her, daughter. I thought you were smart enough to understand that" replied the demon in a loud and terrible voice, laughing.
