Sorry it took me so long to update. I'm under a great amount of pressure. And I want the people in my home to LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE! Thank you. Note: this takes place in between 'Betrayal' and 'Aftershock Pt. 1'.

2004

In the darkness of a street alley, a blue hole opened in a wall. Out of the hole stepped a trenchcoated figure with a sword on it's back. The hole closed as soon as its feet touched the ground.

The figure pressed a few buttons on the glowing device it had, then looked to the sky. It's voice rang out, low and male.

"My home..."

Titans Tower

When Beast Boy came to, there was only darkness around him. The room was dark and he realized, that as he looked up at the mahoghany carvings above him, that he wasn't in his room.

It was Raven's room.

This was a big shock. He had expected to wake up in his own room, and the only reason he'd be in Raven's would be to...

His thoughts ground to a halt as he realized he felt someone's arms tighten around his torso. He looked down to see a naked Raven sound asleep holding him. 'Aawwww...'

They stayed like that for a few minutes; Raven to keep sleeping, Beast Boy to not risk her wrath. After a while, he looked at the clock. 10:00 AM.

As much as he was against the idea of waking up Raven, he had to.

He nudged her. "Rae."

Raven snuggled deeper into his embrace. "Let me be."

"Rae, we should get up. The team's bound to notice." He was wonderingwhy she wasn't going ballistic over him using his pet name for her.

"Screw the team, I'm comfy..." she murmured, but her eyes shot open as to loud knocks sounded on the door.

"Raven? You awake?" Robin. "The others are wondering if you're okay."

Raven looked at Beast Boy. "Yeah."

"You seen B.B.?"

"No."

"Well, be sure to let me know if you do. Hopefully, he's just out and about..." Robin's voice faded down the hall.

"Christ, that was close," came Beast Boy's voice as he crept out of the bed in cat form.

Raven nodded. "I think you should get to your room before someone notices.

The cat nodded it's head and as soon as Raven had dressed, crept out the door that she had opened.

Minutes later, the two were walking towards the Team Room (the room with the TV and the kitchen) when a thought occured to Raven. "You wore protection, right?"

"I thought you did!"

"I didn't exactly expect to sleep with you, did I?"

"I know, and I did have protection."

Their conversation had to be drawn to a close as they entered the Team Room...

Elsewhere...

Slade and Terra gazed at the scientist in front of them. The jittery man was explaininghis latest creation.

"...the creature is only in it'sinfant stage now, but given sufficient time, it could go to it's adult stage."

"How much time?" asked Terra.

The scientist was hesitant to answer, so Terra poised a nice-sized boulder over him. "I will ask again: HOW... LONG?"

"...a month, give or take a few days."

"Too long," said Slade,and Terra dropped the boulder, flattening the man into paste.

The master and apprentice left the room to another. Thisroom housed the creature the scientist had spoken of.The creatureslept in avat of liquid.

It was the size of a groundhog, with4 legs, the first pair had two clawed digits for toes, the second had three. From the back of it's head, a largerow of spikes grew 'till the end of the tail. The head had 3 blade-like spikes on the sides, insect pincers on the sides of its mouth, which was anshort snout filled with razor-sharp teeth.

This was the infant Biollante. It opened it's eyes to reveal a pair of red orbs that reflected back the two people in front of it.

"Take the DNA of 4 Titans, throw them together, and this is what you get." He turned to Terra. "Drain it."

At the release of a button, the fluid drained out, andthe tube lifted. The infant Biollante shook itself free of the liquid, and looked up at the 2.

"Go. Gain power, and destroy the Teen Titans."

Biollante, having not gained vocal chords yet, merely bowed its head and waddled out the opening.

Titans Tower, 3 weeks later

Raven limply held the pregnancy test in her hand, dazed at the results.

Positive. The results were positive. Meaning she had a child growing inside her.

The Titans were scattered all around the Team Room; Beast Boy and Raven on the big couch, Starfire lying on her stomach on another couch, Cyborg leaning on the counter, Broli sitting on the counter, and Robin in front of B.B. and Rae. Who looked like he'd just had a heart attack (Robin).

Robin grimaced as he spoke,"Tell me again Beast Boy, how did thishappen?"

Broli spoke up. "You see Robin, when a boy and a girl get together..."

Robin spun to face Broli. "Number 1: I said Beast Boy. Number 2: Now's not the time for your smart-ass comments."

"Hey, just trying to lighten the mood. You act too serious."

"He is correct, Robin," said Starfire as she sat up.

Any dunce would know how much of a soft spot Robin has for Starfire. However, Robin publicly denounces those rumors. But here, Robin knew that it was useless to argue with Star.

"I know, but things are too hectic now."

Cyborg spoke up. "And with Terra with Slade, they're just going to make things harder for us."

At the mention of Terra, Beast Boy's eyes glazed over, but then he cleared his head. "That doesn't matter to me. Right now, I'm going to do everything I can to protect us. All 7 of us."

"That includes eating meat right?"snickered Cyborg. The next minute, he, Beast Boy, and Broli were in a big fight.

Jump City

The figure from before stood on the railing overlooking the ocean, and the Tower. He gazed at the Tower longingly, then uttered one word.

"Home..."

At last! By the way, I need reviews for my 'Monster Zero' fic. Odds are that if I don't get at least 5 reviews for it, I won't update this one, and I already have the 2nd Chapter ready. I say 2nd 'cause the 1st chapter is this one, and the Prologue was the last one. Ja ne.
