A guest mentioned that Rae and Dick would probably name their kid Marie instead of Mary; for the child's individuality, which is probably true.
School
"...nobody really knows why the Titans broke apart, but everyone knows that they're still looking out for us." Ms. Honey concluded.
A small girl in the back of the class raised her hand; the teacher smiled softly. "Yes, Marie?"
Five year old Marie Grayson lowered her hand, swinging her little legs back and forth underneath the table as she brushed a strand of hair from her face. It was a strange color, from a distance, it would seem black, but if you looked closely; it was clearly purple. "My mommy says the Titans never really broke apart; she says they stayed in contact."
Ms. Honey smiled and tilted her head. "Did she now?"
Marie nodded her head excitedly.
"Well, then she must be a really intelligent woman for her to know that."
"She is," the child muttered, adoration shining in her blue eyes.
The teacher continued with her lesson; after the Titans had disbanded, they had become Jump City's 'legend'. Even if it had only been twenty years or so, they had found their place in history books and lots of schools taught the kids about them.
They were heroes.
Marie sat on the playground, drawing random swirls and patterns in the sand with a stick. She ignored all of the other kids playing and enjoying their break before they had to go back to class. The 1/4 demon child was a social flower, but she liked being alone from time to time; it...calmed her.
She was a lot like her mother on those moments.
She tensed when she heard a cry.
The young girl dropped the stick and stood up; turning to see a familiar orange haired girl with pink eyes sitting on the swing, a group of kids surrounding her.
Marie frowned, not hesitating to run towards the scene.
"Look, it's the witch!" Someone called, pointing a chubby finger at the girl.
"I'm not a witch!" Jennifer cried, her hands shaking at incredible speed as pink electricity surrounded them; the electricity stopped quickly, but her hands kept shaking.
The kids started laughing at the unhappy girl, shouting mean things and chanting 'witch' over and over as Jennifer only cried harder.
"Hey! Leave her alone!"
Marie pushed through the crowd and made her way towards her friend, not missing the fact that everyone stopped talking the moment she arrived.
Uncle Garfield told her that she was just as scary as her mother when she was angry, which is probably the reason why everyone was so quiet now. She was a bit disappointed that she wasn't allowed to reveal her powers, despite the fact that most of the people knew she was part demon; if she could, she would've showed her demonic eyes just for extra effect.
"You okay, Jen?" Marie asked worriedly, standing beside the girl.
Jennifer looked up, staring at the girl with wide pink eyes. She hesitated, but nodded.
The child rolled her eyes, just knowing that the girl was lying.
"Of course the demon would team up with the witch!" A boy called.
Marie's blue eyes darkened and she looked up at the boy. He was a lot bigger than her, which was logical; she was a small girl, but that didn't mean she was afraid. Her grandfather was a lot scarier than this kid, and she wasn't talking about Trigon.
She moved away from Jennifer and walked up to him, challenging eyes locked on him. She knew this boy, he always thought he was the 'king' and that he was so great. While in reality, he wasn't anything special. "I'm only part demon. I'm more human than demon, but you...you are just a full jerk."
A couple of kids gasped at the word, they weren't allowed to say such things!
Jennifer just giggled and Marie turned around and shot her a wink. Both girls weren't phased by the choice of words, their family wasn't known for being the nicest when it came to words; they heard a lot worse. Especially Uncle Roy. While the others tried to keep the cursing to a minimum, Roy just didn't have a filter.
The boy- Andy -glared at her and stepped closer. Marie wasn't threatened and stayed where she was; crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow.
"We don't want you here," he snarled.
Marie tilted her head back to look up at him, despite being just five years old; she wasn't easily scared or hurt by bullies. "You don't want us here, Andy."
"Well-"
"What on Earth is going on here?" Ms. Honey called, walking towards the scene.
A lot of kids immediately turned the other way and continued playing; acting as if they didn't see anything and leaving Andy, Jennifer and Marie on the scene.
"Ms. Honey! Ms. Honey! Marie called me a jerk!" Andy whined, staring at the teacher with wide eyes.
Ms. Honey turned towards her. "Is that true, Marie?"
The girl in question looked down, muttering a small 'yes'.
"She was defending me!" Jennifer cut in, jumping off the swing and standing beside Marie; her unruly orange hair moving into her eyes and she brushed it away in annoyance. "Andy and his friends were being big meanies! They called me a witch!"
Ms. Honey frowned, not even doubting the girl's words. Andy was known to bully people, she had talked to his father about it, but he wasn't the most pleasant person either.
The teacher dragged a protesting Andy with her without a word.
Marie and Jennifer watched the scene, the former's eyes narrowing slightly when the boy passed the drinking fountain. She focused on it with all her energy and smiled when it exploded and water splashed all over him.
Jennifer gasped and her pink eyes widened. "Marie!"
The girl smiled and shrugged. "What? He deserved it! Don't tell my mommy!" She pleaded.
Jennifer hesitated. "What about Uncle Dick?"
"Well...you could, he won't get mad, but I don't think he can keep a secret from mommy..."
"Fine."
Marie beamed. "Come on! Let's play!" She stood onto one of the swings and climbed all the way up until she was hanging from the metal bars that kept the whole thing standing.
Jennifer blinked. "How did you do that?" She lisped slightly because of her missing tooth.
"My daddy taught me!" The girl responded, before jumping off and landing on the ground, stumbling a bit on her landing. She glanced at Jennifer and smiled sheepishly. "I can't do it ex- exactly..right." Marie frowned, not quite knowing how to pronounce that word. Her father always corrected her.
Jennifer smiled and looked at her hands, her smile growing when she saw that they stopped shaking.
At the end of the day, a woman with amethyst eyes and violet hair walked into the school to pick her daughter up.
"Mommy!" Marie squealed and jumped off her chair as she rushed towards the woman.
Raven smiled and crouched down; catching her daughter and hugging her tightly. "Hey, honey, how was school?"
"Okay!" The child beamed.
Raven's smile faded when she looked around and didn't see a certain orange haired girl. Her eyes snapped back to her daughter. "Where's Jennifer?"
Marie pointed to the back of the class where the girl was, staring out the window as she waited for her parents to come pick her up. She didn't mind waiting a little, Andy was already gone.
The half-demon walked towards the girl and smiled. "Want to come with us? Your parents are at our place."
Marie jumped up and down excitedly. "Oh! Mommy can Jen and I have a sleepover? Pleeeaasse! It's weekend!"
Raven laughed and ruffled her daughter's hair. "We'll talk about that when we get home, okay?"
"Then let's go home!" She said, dragging a startled Jennifer with her to the car.
Raven smiled and shook her head, the girl was just as impatient as her father.
If you haven't guessed:
Marie is Robin and Raven's kid (Duh)
Jennifer is Jinx and Wally's
Andy is Adonis' (XD)
