Chapter Nine- Cyborg aka Victor Stone
Andrea walked into the house without a word. She entered the kitchen were her mom was getting dinner started.
"Hi Andrea," Raven greeted.
"Hey," sighed Andrea. She put her backpack on the floor and sat at the table.
"I got you that book you wanted," stated Raven, pointing to a book on the table. Andrea picked it up, read the summary on the back, and set it back down.
"Thanks," she replied.
"Anything interesting happen at school today?" Raven asked.
"Nope," Andrea sighed.
"Talk to anyone?"
"No one but the teachers,"
"Have any homework,"
"Plenty," said Andrea, taking a text book, two notebooks, and a workbook out of her bag.
"Need any help with it?"
"No,"
"Okay then," Raven ended the conversation there. This was how it always was with Andrea. She would come from school, Raven would try to start a conversation with her, Andrea would give mostly basic one-word answers for her mother's questions, and then she would start doing homework. Suddenly, Garfield came running into the room holding a phone book.
"I found it! I found it!" he shouted, slamming the book on the table.
"Found what?" asked Andrea.
"The name of our old te-"
"Friend," Raven cut him off. "From high school,"
"Right. Our old high school friend Cy-"
"Victor," Raven cut him off again.
"Yeah. Our old high school friend Victor," said Garfield.
"Oo-kay…" said Andrea looking from her mother to her father and back to her mother. She thought they were weird before. But nothing could compare to that. "I'm gonna do my homework upstairs,"
With that, Andrea picked up her bag and books and headed to her room.
"Way to go Einstein. Did you forget about keeping this a secret from her?"
"No!" Garfield lied. Raven gave him one of those 'I-know-you're-lying-so-why-try' looks. "Yes," he sighed.
"Well, let's call Victor,"
"Who's Victor?" asked Garfield. He had already forgotten Cyborg's real name.
"Cyborg," Raven whispered.
"Oh…right,"
Raven picked up the phone and Garfield showed her the phone number. Garfield stood close to her so he would be able to her what Cyborg would say. They couldn't risk putting the phone on speaker. Not with Andrea right upstairs. Raven and Garfield waited as the phone continued to ring. Unfortunately, they got the answering machine.
Hi, you've reached Victor. I can't get to the phone right now. Please leave your name, number, and brief message and I'll back to you as soon as I can. Thanks!
Raven waited until she heard a faint beep, and then began recording her message. After, she hung up the phone and looked at Garfield.
"So, now we just have to see if he calls back," she said. He nodded.
It was about 9:15 pm when Victor entered his apartment. He saw a tiny red light flashing on his answering machine. He pushed a button and waited to hear the messages.
"Hello Victor. It's Mr. Lance again. It's about 1:25. I was just calling to see if you-"
Victor cut off that message. He knew what Mr. Lance, his boss, wanted. Overdue paperwork. He forgot to hand it in when it was due. Oh well. He'd hand it in tomorrow.
"Hi Victor. It's Dan. I was wondering if you could go in for me tomorrow. I have a family thing and need someone to take my shift. Call me back when you the chance. You know my number. Bye,"
That message caused Victor to roll his eyes. Dan was a good friend but he always turned to Victor when he needed someone to cover for him at work. This was the third in a month. And it had only been two weeks.
"Hi Victor! It's Isabelle. I was wondering if you wanted to-"
Another message to cut off. Isabelle worked with Victor and was always trying to set up dates for him. But the next message caught Victor's attention.
"Victor? It's Raven. Remember? From the Titans? Any way, Garfield, um, Beast Boy went out to the docks and saw Titans Tower still standing. It's in pretty bad shape, although I haven't seen it yet. Anyway, call me back,"
Victor stared at the answering machine for a minute. Raven? The Titans? Titans Tower? This didn't make any sense. He picked up the phone and searched through received calls until he found the words 'unknown caller'. He wrote down the number on a scrap of paper and slowly dialed it. He listened to the ringing, wondering if anyone would actually pick up.
Andrea sat in her room reading. The phone on her night stand started to ring. She tried to ignore it, but neither of her parents bothered to answer. She reached over and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" she asked, wondering who would actually call at this hour.
"Hi, um, Raven?" the voice on the other end asked.
"No, this is her daughter, Andrea,"
"Oh, sorry. Is your mom there?"
"Yeah, hold on," replied Andrea. She put the phone on her bed and walked down the hall. She opened the door to her parent's room to find her mother reading and her father flipping through channels. "Mom, phone's for you," she said.
"Oh, who is it?" Raven asked.
"No idea, but they thought I was you,"
"Alright, thanks," said Raven. She reached for the phone by her bed as Andrea left.
Daughter?, Victor asked himself. Since when did Raven have a daughter? She didn't sound too young. But who could Raven be married…
He just got it. She mentioned Beast Boy in her message. They must've finally tied the knot. About time, too!
"Hello?" he heard a feminine voice say.
"Hi, Raven?" he asked.
"Victor?" she asked him.
"Yeah, I got your message,"
"Oh, good,"
"So what did you really call for?"
"I wanted to have a reunion!" he heard a familiar voice say.
"BB?"
"Garfield. But whatever. Same guy!" said Garfield.
"Wow, a reunion," said Victor. "That's great! Did you call Starfire?"
"Yep!" said Garfield.
"And what about Robin? How's he?"
"Married to Starfire," said Raven. "They go by Dick and Star now,"
"Wow, they got married! That's awesome! Any kids?"
"Triplets," said Garfield.
"Alright, so about the reunion,"
"Oh right," said Garfield. "Saturday good for you?"
"Fine by me,"
"Okay then. We'll cal Dick and Star," said Raven.
"Cool. See you Saturday,"
"See you," Raven and Garfield said unison. All three hung up.
