As I've said before, I don't own anything, so don't ask. I only own my own characters, and my plot. I don't own any of the songs or cannon characters. Sit back, grab a cup of tea, or soda and enjoy the show.
She fell backwards right on her butt. Who the hell grabbed me? Was her first thought as she realized she was back on the rooftop of the tower. Her second thought was: Whoever it was better have one hell of a reason. She glanced around to see Aqua Lad grinning down at her.
"Hey beautiful, thought you might like some company up here all alone." he said with a wink.
"If you know what's good for you, you will go back down to the party." She growled at him, standing up so as not to give him as much advantage in height.
"Ever since the green guy left you have been all uptight, so I just thought I could help by letting you know that I wouldn't leave someone as beautiful as you all alone and run from my problems like some little kid." he popped off without paying attention to what his words were doing to her.
Her eyes glowed red with rage, but before she could say anything, he grabbed her around the waist and kissed her hard on the lips. She was so surprised by what he did; she just stood there like a statue.
"See? I'm also an excellent kisser." he said with a self-satisfied smirk.
Her eyes glowed an ominous red, as her hands formed a dark aura, and as she was about to blast him straight into the next hemisphere, she felt something unnatural. Before she could really analyze it, there was a short teenage boy maybe about thirteen standing between them, glaring at Aqua Lad. All she could see of him was his purple and red uniform and short jet black hair, and the fact that the back of his neck was a deep green.
"Where did the pipsqueak come from? I thought it was just us up here. Why don't you go be a good little boy and head back down to the party?" Aqua-lad said without really looking at the kid.
"Why don't you learn to accept defeat when you see it? Or does my dad have to come back and teach you a lesson on how to treat a woman? You know what? I'll do it myself since he won't ever know anything about this." the kid said, only looking over his shoulder right before he leaped towards him. "Isn't that right mom?"
Raven didn't have time to think that one through because she had to stop a fight before someone got hurt. She used her dark energy to grab both of them to halt them, only right when she gave the command, the boy was not there anymore. She looked around, stunned, when she spotted him behind her, relaxing on the edge of the roof.
"Really, mom? You haven't been able to catch me with that trick since I was five. Now Nightfire on the other hand, hasn't figured it all out yet. I chock it up to being too much like dad, no control over their emotions." he said while not bothering to look at her.
Now she was fuming. Who was this little twerp, and why was he calling her mom? Before she could start to interrogate him though, the roof door burst open, and out poured Star, Robin, and CY. All with weapons and powers ready to discharge at the slightest sign of danger.
"Oh great, a bigger audience." Aqua Lad remarked from the corner where he was still being held in the dark energy.
"Either shut up, or I will send you into orbit, around Pluto." Raven said without even glancing at him.
The other titans started to lower their weapons, but at that moment, the boy appeared at her side, she knew it was coming, as she was prepared to follow him by emotions this time, but everybody else went right back to battle ready, all weapons aimed at him.
"Recalibrate 15 degrees to the left." he said with everybody staring at him.
CY had the stun setting activated and fired, missing by a good foot to the left.
"What the…?" CY said, examining his arm cannon.
Raven put a hand up to hold back any more attacks, and looked to really examine this kid. He looked up at her, with the darkest amethyst eyes she had ever seen. But before she could really take it all in, Starfire had him in one of her bone crushing hugs.
"It's good to see you too, Aunt Kori." he said while chuckling to himself.
Raven pulled her hood over her head, as she had started blushing furiously, thoughts racing about who his father could be, thinking only of one person. At that moment every window in the tower blew out, and Aqua Lad achieved a low orbit, before falling back to Earth to join the seals in the middle of the Arctic Ocean.
"How about we all head downstairs, before something or someone else achieves terminal velocity?" Robin said staring up at the dark sky.
They all nodded and headed down the stairs to the common room, which had been vacated by all the party goers. They gathered around the kitchen table as the new comer walked right over to the cupboard and pulled out the things to make tea.
"I still can't believe you convinced dad to drink this gunk. I mean Nightfire loves the stuff, but dad? He told me a long time ago you couldn't get him to drink it if his life depended on it. Yuck."
Everybody just stared in shock, eyes going from this strange kid, to Raven, looking at her with questioning eyes. All she could do was try to hide deeper in her chair. "Hey Uncle CY, where is the kettle? Mom always kept it with the pots, but I don't see it there. Oh and where is the honey?" he said without looking at them.
They all just kept staring at Raven, because that was her stuff, and would tear off anybody's head that even thought about touching it. So to everybody's amazement, including her own, Raven rose soundlessly and went to retrieve them from the cupboard where she kept them, and handed them to him.
"We need to know your name if we are to address you, so what is it?" Raven asked, kind of harshly, but her mind was many miles away, felling the shocked emotions coming from Garfield.
"My name is Mark, Mark Logan." He said, as he put the finished tea down in front of Raven.
