Chapter 2: Why Are You Here Again?
Dragon Nebula, DN, or Nebula, empathic, weather controlling Nebulae, and her husband, Jhun, a wind apparition, woke up suddenly in the room of their Eagle Nebulae home to the sound of panicked knocking. They scrambled out of their large, comfortable bed, grabbed their robes and rushed to subdue their unexpected guests.
"I tell you," Nebula said to her husband, "I didn't want to kill someone in the middle of the night." She then looked towards their wooden front door. "Who the heck is knocking on my door like that!"
"Nebula, calm down," her husband urged her. "You are a subtle woman."
"I don't have time for subtle," She shot back bitterly. "I will have time after I electrocute whoever the heck is knocking on my door like that!"
As soon as they opened the door, they stopped. Standing behind it was their fellow Titan, Raven, and her twin children with bags in their hands.
"Oh, Lord," Nebula said softly.
"Raven, this is unexpected," Jhun greeted nicely.
"It's midnight," Nebula said gravely. She had no intention of being nice after a rude awakening. "We sleep at midnight. If you're coming to visit, come back in the morning; I'll be in a better mood."
"Nebula…" Jhun whispered gravely.
"I'm sorry," Raven said sadly. "I couldn't think of anywhere else to go."
Nebula sighed. "Come on in here." She looked down at the twins. "You twins hungry?"
"Yes," they replied simultaneously.
Jhun took their bags and put them in the guest room since he figured that they would be staying for the night. Nebula fixed the twins bowls of chicken soup and left them in the kitchen so that she and Jhun could talk to Raven alone. They both found her in the living room lying on the couch covered and wrapped in her blue cloak. As soon as she saw her two friends, she sat up quickly, tucking her violet hair behind her ear revealing her very distressed face.
"Raven?" Jhun called as he and Nebula sat on the individual armed chairs.
Raven buried her face into her hands.
"Twins told me that Mommy and Daddy have been fighting," Nebula explained. "Must've gotten pretty serious."
"You have no idea," Raven whispered.
"Do I need to beat somebody?" Nebula asked standing up and ready to fight. "Because you know I will go to jail tonight."
"No," Raven replied softly. She did not seem to be in the mood to talk.
"Look, Raven," Jhun began, "you must be very tired and stressed out. We can talk about this in the morning. You can go on to bed; we'll handle Rin and Jason."
Raven let out a small smile across her pale face. "Thank you," she said with excessive gratitude as she got up and went up the stairs to her old room.
