Oh yeah, i'm feeding off Emma's ideas still. She's got a good brain in there! So I have to give credit to her for this story all throughout-thanks Emm-chan.
xXxXxXxX
The large, full moon loomed in the black night sky. The stars twinkled along with it in perfect rhythm as everyone slept below. Everyone except Raven that is. She was having a nightmare...no, a vision in the form a dream and was tossing and turning in bed, trying desperatley to awaken from it.
(Dream Sequence)
"No!" Robin shouted, pushing Starfire out of the way.
Raven stood, unable to move at the girl that stood before them, fire blazing in her hands and eyes. Slade stood behind her, laughing manically as he always did.
"That's it, show no mercy! Just like I showed you totcher!" Slade yelled at her, making his hands fists as he spoke.
Raven realized the word he called her was daughter in german. That's when Raven's eyes began to glow their eerie white. "No! She is not your daughter!" Raven yelled.
"Raven! No!" Beast Boy yelled.
(End Dream sequence)
Raven shot up from her bed, panting and sweating profusely. What had she just dreamed? Suddenly, a sharp pain struck Raven in her stomach. She let out a low moan and realized what was happening-She had just had a contraction. The dark titan closed her eyes and took slow breaths, waiting for the pain to wash away.
"Beast Boy..." Raven hissed, hoping to wake him up.
Beast Boy merely turned over and grumbled something about letting him sleep.
"Beast Boy!" Raven asked again, her voice less of a whisper.
Again, he didn't move. He just pulled the covers over his head and groaned. Raven growled under her breath and then struck an idea.
"Oh, Beast Boy...if you wake up now...I'll let you lick chocolate tofu off me!" She bribed, stroking his green ear.
At that exact moment, Beast Boy shot up, his tounge hanging out of his mouth. "Oh Boy! Where's the chocolate!"
Raven winced as another contraction swept over her. "The baby...it's coming...I'm in labor!" She squeaked out.
Beast Boy's eyes widened. "Oh No...Oh god...This is so uncool...Okay, what do I do? What do I DO?" He yelled.
Raven glared at him as objects in the room began to become enveloped in black and tear into shreads. "Get...The Team!" She said, clenching her teeth.
Beast Boy dashed out of the room and began to knock loudly on Robin's door.
Starfire appeared at the door, clutching a sheet to her frail figure. "Beast Boy, does something trouble you?"
The changling averted his eyes from the alien girl as the sheet did a poor job of covering her. "Uhh...Yes! Yeah! Raven is having the baby!"
At that moment, Robin appeared at the door in nothing more than his red and yellow 'R' boxers. "Wait...What?"
"Raven is in labor...now help meee!" Beast Boy shrieked, flailing his arms in the air.
Robin's masked eyes widened slightly. "Okay, Starfire you get dressed while Beast Boy and I get Cyborg!" He instructed and ran down the hall with Beast Boy.
Starfire quickly ran over to Robin's dresser and stole a pair of his boxers and a white t-shirt. She flew down the hall to where the boys were practically kicking Cyborg's door.
The robotic team mate opened the door, peering at them. "Yo! Where's the fire?"
"Raven is in labor-That's where the fire is!" Beast Boy yelled, pulling Cyborg from his room.
Now the whole team rushed down the hall and into Raven's room. It looked as if a tornado had run through with all the damaged objects from Raven 's haywire powers. The telekinetic was sweating profusely and yellling out in pain as her contractions had become closer. She looked over at the team and shook her head.
Starfire flew over to her best friend and clutched her hand. "Oh, Raven! Are you doing well?"
Raven glared daggers at the alien girl. "My insides feel like they are going to rip in half! I'm just dandy!" She yelled and groaned as more pain sweeped over her.
Meanwhile, the boys were aruging over what to do.
"I ain't pullin it out man!" Cyborg yelled.
"Neither am I!" Robin said, shaking his head.
"Why do I have to do it?" Beast Boy whined.
"Because! You've seen her...well...you know...before! And it's your child anyways!" Cyborg countered, glaring at his friend.
Robin grimaced and Beast Boy admitted defeat.
Raven growled and looked over at the team mates. "Will you idiots come over here and help me already!"
The boys ran over and the long labor began.
xXxXxX After approx. 10 hours of labor and people nearly barfing xXxXxXxX
Raven couldn't help but smile at the bundle of joy in her arms. It was a small baby girl who looked like no other. Her skin was nearly grey, just like her mother. Her hair a swirl of black and green from her father. Upon her forehead sat a small purple charaka like her mothers trimed in gold. The most uniqe thing about her was her deep violet eyes that stared at her parents with a shine.
Beast Boy and Raven had fallen instanly in love with their creation and couldn't have been happier. Robin draped an arm around Starfire as she 'oohed' and 'ahhed' at the new earthling. The boy wonder knew that someday, Starfire and himself would have a child to call their own.
xXxXxXx A few days later xXxXxXx
Raven smiled as she stroked her daughter's black and green hair. She now had an official name, Drusilla. Beast Boy said it sounded very dark and Raven said it was exactly why she picked it. After a bit of researching, they had found it meant mighty. The whole team knew that this child would indeed be very mighty in spirt and power.
Currently, the rest of the team was in the middle of trying to build a bassinet for the baby.
"No! Red goes to blue dammit!" Cyborg yelled, waving the directions.
"But friend Cyborg, it clearly says that white goes to blue." She said, pointing at a picture.
"Stupid baby company, can't even give CLEAR directions." Robin muttered, clicking a leg into the bottom of the bed.
Beast Boy put his head in his hands. "That's it. No more ikea man, no more ikea!"
Suddenly, the crime alarm went off, ringing above their heads while flashing it's usual red light. Robin rushed over to the computer and groaned.
"Looks like we've got Overload, Cinderblock and Plasmus attacking the city again-Titans Go!" Their leader shouted, running out the door.
Raven opted to stay with the baby since someone had to be there to take care of the child. Beast Boy gave Drusilla and Raven a kiss on the forehead and dashed out with the rest of the team as a cheetah.
The dark titan sighed as the tower became deathly quiet. Drusilla gurggled a bit and looked up at her mother. Raven smiled and stood up to carry her to the nursery.
xXxXxXxX
"They really should update their security system..." Slade muttered, destroying the key pad outside the door.
He gingerly walked into the front door and was practically grinning under his mask. He heard Raven humming softly as he creeped slowly up the creaking stairs. It was time for him to put his plan into action.
Raven was humming to Drusilla when she stopped instantly as she heard the elevators slide open. "Who is it?" She asked, down the hall.
No response, Slade merely kept creeping into the hallway. He let out his smooth, sadistic chuckle as he went along.
Now Raven was scared, she felt the fear rising inside her. Who could've broken in so easily, and what did they want? Raven put Drusilla down in the car seat that was set up in the nursery and ran out of the room. She stopped dead in her tracks in the hallway as she saw Slade laughing slowly.
"S-Slade...What do you want?" She asked, her hands glowing white and surrounded in black magic.
"Oh, nothing special...Tell me, what is your daughter's name?" He asked. His one revealed eye twinkled with mischief.
"That doesn't concern you-Now leave!" She shot a large stream of her magic at the villian.
Slade merely dodged it and ran towards Raven. He grabbed her arms and slammed her up against the wall. "Tell the rest of the team I said 'Hi'." He hissed and flung Raven down the hall, knocking her unconcious as she hit the elevator, leaving a large dent.
"No!" Raven yelled as she flew in the air. She tried as hard as she could to stay awake when she slammed up against the steel doors, but couldn't.
Slade laughed and walked into the nursery. There sat Drusilla, whining for her mother as she saw Slade.
"Ahh yes, the child. My, My aren't you pretty? No matter...I shall raise you as my own. You will serve me well in destroying the team from the inside out.." He whispered and took Drusilla from her seat. He chuckled as he jumped out of the window, disappearing into the night with Raven and Beast Boy's child.
xXxXxXx An hour later xXxXxXx
Raven awoke with a groan as she stood up. Then everything came rushing back to her. A loud gasp escaped her as she ran into the nursery only to find it empty.
"No...NO!" Raven yelled, falling on her knees.
Beast Boy ran into the room. "Raven! What happened?" The rest of the team followed him and watched Raven cry out on the floor.
"Slade...He took...He took Drusilla!" She screamed, tears flying from her eyes as Beast Boy tried to hold her up.
"That explains the breech in the security system!" Cyborg said.
Beast Boy closed his eyes, trying to stop the pain that was screaming inside him. "Don't worry Raven...it's going to be alright..." He said, trying to comfort Raven, even though he knew it wasn't true.
Robin clenched his hands into fists. "Slade...He will pay."
xXxXxXxX In Slade's lair xXxXxXxXx
The criminal master mind smiled down at Drusilla. Her eyes were lined with tears as she cried for her mother's comfort. Slade held a needle above the child's head. It was filled with a purple liquid.
"Now, Now. Stop your crying...You'll learn to enjoy me." He said, stabbing the needle into her head.
The baby let out a shrill yell and then felt very sleepy.
"That's it...Sleep." He told her, drawing the needle out with a grin.
The formula Slade had injected into Drusilla would make her age at a faster rate. For every two years that passed in real time, it would be five for Drusilla in her development. Slade smiled to himself, he couldn't wait to find out his new apprentice's abilities.
xXxXxXx A/N: Whee! There is your second chapter. I actually got really sad as I was writing the scene where Slade kidnaps Drusilla. Now, I know her name is the same as a character from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. But you can't think of it that way-lol. It was the only name that popped up in my head at the time of writing this story. Ahh, I have some pics of Dru as she gets older. Anyone know a place where I could post up my art at? If you do, feel free to email me or leave it by in a review. Okay, what else happened in this chapter- Oh yes, the formula Slade injected. Totally Emma's idea. 'Cause Dru is gonna be fourteen when she first attacks the Titans and I didn't want them in their thirties. Okay, I think that's it. If you have any questions, just drop them by in the review. 'Til next chapter: Emmery.
