Chapter 2- Scrambled Eggs and Scrambled Minds

Raven fingered the telephone cord anxiously. She had been on hold for 5 minutes now and her patience was wearing thin. How long did it take to pull up a computer file! She punched the pillow next to her, letting off some steam. Suddenly the corny waiting music stopped and a female voice came on.

"Miss Roth?" It had an unpleasant nasal tone.

"Yes?" She replied.

"It seems we do have something available. The rent is $120 a month ( A/N- I know nothing about renting rates) would you be interested?"

"Where is it located?"

"It's a building downtown next to the subway station. A very good place if you don't have any form of transportation. There's also a supermarket a couple of blocks away, and there's this wonderful little park where they have-"

"I'll take it."

"Do you want to come over and look at it first? We can have someone show you around first thing Monday morning."

"No."

"I do recommend it though. Our company believes that costumers-"

"Could I move in today?" Her question must have baffled the women for Raven heard a loud thud and a lot of sputtering."

"Excuse me the phone slipped. It is possible but you would have to come over and sign the paper work-"

"I'll be there around noon. Thanks for your time." And Raven hung up despite the protests of the woman on the other line. She had done it. Raven Roth had taken her first step towards independence. She had successfully managed to rent a small apartment. Raven gathered up the money she had scattered over the comforter and stuffed it back into her savings box.

She had gotten the money mostly from Christmas presents from her team mates (no one ever knew what to buy her) and the rest came from thank you notes of the people she had saved. Not to mention she knew there was a bank account with her name on it which held her portion of the government funds the Titans had been receiving in exchange for protecting the city. Money wise she was pretty well off.

For now. Quiting the Titans would mean no more freebies from the government. She would also need to buy her own food, probably some furniture and appliances, not to mention some real clothes. She looked down at her leotard. It was the same thing she had been wearing for six long years. It would be strange to replace it, but in a way Raven was ready to accept the change.

Looking at her clock, Raven got up and pulled on her cape. It was 10:30 which would give her just enough time to grab a quick breakfast and head over to the apartment office downtown to sign the papers. Today was the dawning of a new life. Raven's stomach grumbled, remind her that her new life could wait. For now she was starving.

Raven entered the kitchen to find that everyone was already up doing their normal thing. Cyborg and Beastboy on the video games, yelling profanity at each other. Robin and Star at the kitchen table, staring into each other's eyes, completely oblivious to the fact that Beastboy was now being used as a human seat cushion. Cyborg threw Beastboy's controller over his shoulder and it hit Starfire in the head. She didn't even flinch.

"Morning." Grunted Raven. Both love stricken Titans sighed. Raven shrugged and opened the fridge. 'Let's see… Tofu, tofu, yesterday's waffles, Star's pudding of what was it, eggs, an old sock….' Raven couldn't help thinking that it would be nice to have her own fridge. She wouldn't have to worry about all the random junk her team members put in it. Not to mention she would be able to eat without fearing for her health. Sighing, she grabbed two eggs out of the Styrofoam box and took out a skillet. A few minutes later she was dumping a mound of scrambled eggs onto a paper plate.

"Morning Raven." Cyborg smiled at her from over by the door. "If the others ask tell them I'm done tuning up the T-car." He said motioning to the couple at the table who were now in a fierce liplock and to the sofa, where Beastboy's foot could be seen sticking out of the sofa.

"Sure thing." Replied Raven, walking over to the counter and sitting down. She heard the door open and close behind her as Cyborg left. Raven picked at her eggs for a few minutes, before she was joined by the green man from last night. He jumped up onto the stool, spun around a few times then slowly came to a halt looking at Raven with concern.

"Hey Raven! How are you feeling?" He asked

"Good." She continued to eat her eggs.

"So you're okay right?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Oh just after last night and all."

"I'm fine."

"Okay."

A few minutes passed.

"Beastboy."

"Yes Raven."

"Will you stop looking at me like I'm going to spontaneously combust?"

"Sorry…"

Silence.

"So you sure you're feeling okay?" Raven raised her eyebrows.

"You didn't spike my eggs or something why I wasn't looking did you?"

"No no no!" He said holding up his hands and grinning for the first time that morning. "I was just a little worried about how you were acting last night. With leaving the Titans you know…" Raven felt a pang of guilt. She didn't know how she was going to tell Beastboy about the apartment. She would have to do it sometime though. Perhaps after the surprise party they had planned for her this evening. Although it wasn't much of a surprise anymore after she had overheard Beastboy and Cyborg in the hallway.

"Have you been experiencing frequent mood swings for unknown or often irrational reasons?"

"What the hell?" Raven looked up at her eggs to see Beastboy wearing a pair of glasses and holding a clip board which he was reading off of. There was a pencil tucked behind his ear and a small name tag on his shirt that read- Hello! My name is: Beastboy.

"Uh-huh." He said taking the pencil, wetting it with his tongue and marking something on the clipboard.

"What are you-"

"Do you often find yourself feeling nauseas, specifically during morning hours?" He continued.

"Beastboy…"

"Have you developed unexplainable cravings for strange foods and find yourself eating more than usual?"

"Beastboy!"

"Have you missed your menstra-"

"BEASTBOY I AM NOT PREGNANT" She fumed. He smiled apologetically and shrugged.

"Well I'm out of ideas." Beastboy tossed the clipboard over his shoulder and it promptly hit Robin on the head. He was still too concentrated on Starfire to do anything but scratch at the impact point. Starfire however seemed to have come out of her daze after hearing the last word Raven had spoken. The red head jumped up (much to Robin's dismay), and skipped over to Raven.

"Pregnant!" She squeaked in glee, "This is most glorious!" Feeling the oncoming of one of Starfire's discussions, Beastboy pulled out his Tamaranian/English phrasebook and prepared to translate (A/N- Available for the special price of $9.99 where ever books are sold!).

"Dearest Robin (close friend who I wish to engage in sexual activity)! It seems (It looks like) friend Raven and friend Beastboy (people to whom I exhibit an friendly attitude and care about deeply but do not wish to engage in sexual activity) have (have) decided (come to the conclusion) to (to) do (have) the love making ritual of earth (sex) and (and) now (currently) friend Raven (Raven) is (is) with child (pregnant)!"

"WHAT!" Raven choked on her eggs and began beating at her chest frantically to clear her airway. Beastboy who had just finished his translation screamed like a girl and backed away from Raven, using his phrasebook as a shield.

"That's lovely Star…" replied Robin with a dreamlike look. Suddenly Raven hacked up the piece of offending egg which hit him square in the forehead. This action seemed to bring him out of his trance.

"Wait…Raven's pregnant by Beastboy?" He said standing up in alarm.

"Over my dead body!" Gasped Raven, still out of breath from choking. Her plate and silverware were now rattling dangerously. Beastboy, feeling brave, stepped forward and placed a hand on Raven's shoulder.

"She's not pregnant. I have the test right here and except for the mood swings part she doesn't have any of the other signs." He said pointing to the clipboard on the floor next to Robin's chair.

"Oh…" Said Star sadly. "Is there perhaps a defect with your love making? Should I prepare the pudding of fertility?" She asked hopefully. Raven fell out of her seat in shock and Beastboy stood there with his eye twitching. Suddenly Raven's pale hand emerged from behind the counter and she pulled herself back up. Her face was a little greener than usual however.

"Starfire, me and Beastboy are not….together." She finished for lack of a better word.

"Oh…" She said again.

"So Raven's not pregnant?" Asked Robin, obviously very confused.

"No boy wonder, I'm not pregnant." Said Raven glowering from behind her plate of half finished eggs.

"Who's pregnant!" Asked a voice from behind them. Raven turned to see Cyborg staring at her with a look of horror. Frustrated, Raven slapped a hand to her forehead and stood up.

"That's it. I'm leaving." She said walking towards the front door. Suddenly she felt a sharp tug on her cape and turned around feeling quite irritated. It was Beastboy and he was staring at her with big green eyes filled with worry.

"You'll be coming back right?" He asked softly and Raven couldn't help but give him a small sad smile.

"Yes." She said, "I promise." With that Beastboy let go of the navy blue cloak clutched in his hand, and watched Raven as she walked out the door and it closed behind her. She shuffled along the hallway slowly, feeling a heavy weight in her heart. This would be her last time leaving the tower with the expectations of going back.
