Logan Suite

He parked the car on the side of the street facing his apartment building. On the third floor is where his suite reside, in nice downtown Gotham City.

Entering the building, he took the three flights of stairs as a normal housecat. He stopped in front of the door with the gold markings 37L. Morphing back into his human form before opening the door.

This suite was a lucky find. They had been searching for close to three years for something just of this fashion and architecture. And finally, four years ago, they found it by accident and seized the opportunity. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, large family room, den and a kitchen/living room combo, but still of good size. The table could fit close to 8 people comfortably.

"Home, sweet, Home." He stretched and yawned. First as human, then as a cat again.

He placed his workbag on the table and made his way into the family room. He glanced at the picture hanging over the fireplace.

Four people. A happy family.

He, himself stood in the center. Green hair, cut short, green eyes, tinted green skin and a single fang visible in his smile. He skin, normally only a shade lighter than his hair and eyes, now only looks to be shaded in green. Thanks to some great 'vitamins' he had found, or, actually, was given by Cyborg years before the Titans retired.

To his left, stood his wife, Jennifer. Pink hair, cut short, and pink eyes to match. Her skin a pale shade of peach. She's small and petite. Her hand was rested on his chest. She smiled sweetly.

In front of him on a stool, was their daughter, Kiara-Lynn. Her pink hair fell to her shoulder blades and her green eyes sparkled with the flash. She has her mother's clear skin with her fathers smile. Her body was slightly turned to her left with her head straight.

Opposite Jenni stood their son, Andrew. He was almost identical to his father. Green all the way around. He also took the 'vitamins' to keep the green to a minimum. His left hand was rested on his older sister's shoulder and a light smile graced his lips.

My beautiful family. He thought to himself.

He made his way back into the kitchen to start preparing dinner. It's only three o'clock. But tonight is family movie night. That's where the rest of his family is at this moment. Getting movies and some snacks, while he was making tofu burgers and homemade French fries.

Soon enough the door opened and in walked his whole life.

Garfield turned to greet them. "So, what movies were decided on?"

"The Exorcist, Fools Rush In and Taxi." Andrew answered setting three DVDs on the counter before leaving the room with his sister shortly following.

Garfield nodded and turned back to the stove. He felt hands slip around his waist and run up his stomach to his chest.

He smiled. "Hello, love of my life."

"Mmmm…" She rested her head on his back. "I'm so glad the weekends finally here."

He nodded. "Me too."

They stood like that for a while. Garfield continued his cooking and Jennifer held onto him. Soon, he realized she wanted to be held.

He turned himself and embraced her. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing really." She sighed into his shirt.

"Right." He ran one hand along her back while the other went through her silky hair.

"Our children are growing up."

Gar smiled. "What was your first clue?"

"Kiara asked if she could go to the movies and to pizza tomorrow evening."

He tried to see why this was bothersome. She has done this many times before. "Okay…"

"With a boy."

"A date?" He asked a little louder than he intended to.

Jenni giggled. "A group date actually."

Gar was silent for a while as this ran through his mind. "You're right. They're growing up. We have to stop them."

Jenni laughed and squeezed him playfully. "You know we can't do that."

"But I miss them being little." He whined.

"Me, too." She whispered back.

Again they stood in silence for a while. "So if we can't stop them from growing up, lets start over again."

"Huh?" He had confused her now. Start over? Like going back in time?

"Let's have another baby."

Jenni pulled back and looked at him in shock. "Seriously?"

Gar just smiled and went back to his cooking.

A few more minutes of food preparation led the family into the dining room to eat. This is normally the time and place where the family discussed most things.

"So, Kiara. Tell us about your plans for tomorrow so I can decide how to tell you no." Gar said to his daughter. He was of course joking, but kept quite the poker face.

Kiara looked to her mother for support. Jenni just smiled.

"We're going as a group. Myself, Nova, Shapiro, Payten, Donte, Libo, Alden and Miro. We'll go to the eleven o'clock showing of Walking through Ashes and then to the mall for pizza and shopping."

"Transportation?"

"Shapiro's mom will drive her and I."

"Money?"

"I have 67 left from my birthday."

"When will you be home?"

"By nine."

Gar looked to Jenni. There really was no reason to say no. Jenni just smiled to herself and took another bite of burger.

"Who is it that you will be sitting next to and holding hands with?"

Kiara blushed. "Libo." She mumbled.

"A little louder, if you don't mind. I need to know who I should hunt down, later, if need be."

"Libo Harper. Nova's twin brother." She said only slightly louder than the first time.

"Libo Harper." He repeated. "Where have I heard that name before?" He questioned more to himself than to anyone else.

"I've been friends with Nova since second grade." Kiara informed her father.

He nodded absently. I don't think that's it. Though, it could be since nothing else is coming to mind.

After trying to place the name, he moved on to his son. "Ender, what are your plans?"

Andrew looked up from his meal. "Don't know. Maybe just skate at the park and play Gamesphere."

Gar eyed him. Andrew liked to be by himself mostly. He has friends. Lots of friends, actually. Ha had one over last weekend as a matter of fact. But he'd rather spend time by himself or at home. Gar didn't understand it. He was always around people when he was that age. Although, his circumstances were much different, but still.

They ate on in silence for a few more minutes. Gar lost himself in thought through the rest of the meal. The others talked amongst themselves. He was daydreaming. Not really about anything in particular. The old days. When he was a teen. The carefree way he used to be. But he wouldn't trade his life now for anything. He loved his family dearly. They were his life. His whole life.

"Gar."

A soft voice called him out of his daze. The table had been cleared and his children had left the room.

"What's on your mind?" Jenni asked him.

"Just thinking."

"About what?"

"Being a teenager."

Jenni knew what he was referring to. The Titans. He missed them. It tore at him that they all lost touch. They were his best and only friends for most of 7 years. She wanted to say something that would comfort him. But what was there to say. They had made the decision to split and to lead separate lives, years ago. And not tell the others their names. That was their call. It was much to his disapproval though.

Gar noticed the concern on her face and pulled her into his lap. "Now, what's on your mind?"

"You being a teenager."

He smiled and hugger her, resting his chin on her shoulder and nuzzling into her neck. "Why?"

"Because you miss them. And I wish there was someway for me to fill that void."

"I'm fine, Jen. And I love my life here with you and our kids."

"I know. But that doesn't stop you from missing them."

He nodded slowly. They sat like that for a moment.

"We can try to find them if you want. I will help every way I can. And I'm sure the kids can find out things from others at school. It would be easy to see that Ender is your son because of his skin tone and hair color. Same thing with Kiara and myself. How many people do you know with pink hair? Raven had purple hair and eyes. That's not normal. Star had almost glowing orange skin, was tall and way too perky. Besides she's obviously not from Earth. Her children must have some of her features."

"Who's to say they have children? And if they did, how do you know if they are in Gotham and didn't stay in Jump City or move away completely?"

Jenni nodded. "It's worth a try. Besides, kids now hear more gossip than you can imagine. They are bound to know others from different schools. And if they don't than I'm sure they know someone who does. If they have children, I'm sure we'll find them."

For a long time Gar was silent. Could there possibly be a way to find the only family he had known since he was 12? How much could he get the kids to find out without actually telling them why and how to find these differences? His life was already so good, is it possible for it to be perfect? I mean, how many from my past would have guessed that I would be living the good life? I have the best family, a wonderful wife, a great job and more money than I know what to do with. The only thing missing is my friends. Life isn't meant to be perfect. But it's worth a try, like Jenni said.

Gar nodded his consent for them to go ahead and try. Jenni wrapped her arms around him and leaned on him.

"Now," Gar started again. "About that baby…"
