Thank you for the reviews. Here's chapter 3!

"No." Robin said immediately.

"Why Robin? Are you saying that you're jealous that you're daughter has been chosen as my apprentice instead of you?"

"In your dreams." Robin sneered.

"I could always just destroy them. But I really don't think you'd want the guilt of two deaths on your conscience. You might as well just do as I ask." Slade replied icily.

"My answer is still no. You can't do anything to them. I won't let you toy with my family." Robin replied firmly.

"Are you trying to challenge me? I'll make you a deal, I'll give you a month…"

"NO!" Robin thundered.

Slade glared at him. "Fine, have it your way then."

Just then, he removed a remote and pressed something that caused the whole building to collapse on top of Robin.

&&&&&&

"Robin! Are you injured?" He heard Starfire say.

He opened his eyes to find himself in a pile of rubble with the team surrounding him.

"No…" Robin said, sitting up.

"Slade got away. After he brought the whole building down, he just vanished. There's no sign of him anywhere." Raven said.

"Stupid Slade…" Robin muttered.

Beast Boy choked back a laugh on that comment as Robin rubbed his head.

"We better get you back to the tower. I think too much rubble fell on your head." Cyborg said.

&&&&&&

Back at the tower…

Beast Boy stared at the blinking red light before saying, "Since when do we get phone messages?"

Raven came over and rolled her eyes. She rewound the tape and pressed play. "One way to find out." She muttered.

"Hi Robin! This is Angela. I'm going off to a job interview tomorrow and I was wondering if you would be able to baby-sit Cali until I got back. Call me!"

Raven gave out an exasperated sigh. "Am I the only one that finds her completely annoying?"

"I don't get it. Does she not realize that we're the Teen Titans? We fight crime! We save lives! We don't baby-sit!" Beast Boy said.

"Perhaps Angela is wanting to "take a break" from Cali, yes?" Starfire asked.

"No, I've seen her, she doesn't mind having Cali around. I guess I can understand about the job interview, but I don't get why Robin has to baby-sit. I mean, sure he's the father, but what if we had to leave to go take down some bad guy? What are we supposed to do? Bring Cali along with us?" Cyborg said.

"Maybe we should mention it to Robin and ask him to find someone else for Cali." Raven said.

The team agreed and went into the training room where Robin would most likely be.

"Hey Robin, can we talk to you for a second?" Cyborg asked.

"What?" Robin said, continuing to work out.

"Let me rephrase that…Can we talk to you without yougiving us a headache to that stupid punching bag?" Raven asked.

Robin turned to them. "Fine. What?"

"Listen, Angela just left some perky message about you baby-sitting Cali tomorrow. And, you know, we really don't want to go baby-sitting a four-year-old, so do you think you could tell her you can't?" Beast Boy asked.

Robin looked at them. "You know, Cali is my daughter. I have every right to see her…But I guess I can see where you're coming from. Let me let her know when she comes over tonight."

"Wait…What? She's coming over tonight? Since when?" Cyborg exclaimed.

"Oh, sorry. I guess I forgot to tell you. We made plans last week." Robin said with a shrug.

"You can't keep doing this to us! You may be the leader…But there are other people living here who would like to be told when someone is visiting tonight!" Beast Boy snapped.

Raven sighed. "When is she coming over?"

They heard someone at the door at that instant.

"Right now." Robin said sheepishly, before leaving them in the training room.

"This had better go smoothly…" Cyborg hissed.

&&&&&&

Later…

"Sorry we could only get take-out, we sort of forgot you were coming tonight." Robin said to Angela.

"What does he mean 'we'"? Cyborg muttered to Beast Boy.

"Oh, that's all right. I was wondering if you happened to get my message that I left earlier today?" Angela asked.

"Yeah, we did. And I'm sorry, but we can't take Cali tomorrow. We…Have other plans." Robin said.

"OK, sorry. I guess I should've known you would've been busy." Angela said sweetly.

"I despise her." Raven hissed to the rest of the team.

"Watch, they'll start getting all lovey dovey and we'll just have to sit here and watch." Cyborg snapped.

"Dude, I could be playing video games right now!" Beast Boy said darkly.

"And what if Cali breaks something?" Raven said, ignoring Beast Boy's comment.

"I know! If it's my video game system, I don't want her coming back here!" Cyborg said.

"That's actually possible?" Beast Boy asked.

Both Raven and Cyborg looked at him in disgust before continuing their conversation.

Starfire glared at Angela as she began to start flirting withRobin in a teasing way.

This went on for a few moments longer before Angela started sensing bad vibes from the other end of the table where the rest of the team was deep in conversational whispers.

"Oh! I almost forgot. Cali made these earlier today. I thought you might like to have them." Angela said, hoping to break the ice.

The rest of the team looked at her skeptically as she removed four folded papers from her pocket.

"It's not anything sticky is it?" Beast Boy asked nervously.

Robin shot him a glare, giving him a silent warning to shut up.

Angela just smiled. "No. She'd give them to you herself, but she's shy with meeting new people."

Raven did her best to smile and failed miserably as she excepted the papers.

Everyone watched as she unfolded the papers, and she raised an eyebrow.

"Um…I'm guessing that each picture is a person, but I don't know who they are." Raven said finally.

At once, the whole team leaned over her shoulder.

Robin saw Cali blush as she sank down in her seat.

Angela rubbed the back of her neck. "Um, maybe the colors look familiar?"

Raven stared closely for a while. "…Are they supposed to be us?"

"Yes! Cali likes it when Robin tells stories about your little adventures. She knows what you guys look like, so she decided to draw pictures for each of you."

"'Little' isn't quite the word I would use." Cyborg muttered.

Beast Boy ignored him as he took his picture from the pile.

To everyone's surprise, he actually smiled.

"This is very pretty. It looks just like me." Beast Boy said, directing the statement towards Cali.

Cali gave a shy smile, and she sat up a little bit.

"Did you make this at home today?" Beast Boy asked.

Cali nodded.

Angela looked between the two of them. "Cali, why not if you talk to Beast Boy for a while?"

"Don't worry, I won't bite." Beast Boy said jokingly.

After that, everyone seemed to relax a little and they began to talk with Angela and Cali about all sorts of things.

By the time they were done with dinner, they were all at least friendly with each other.

"Cali…Do you know how to play video games?" Beast Boy asked.

"Here we go…" Raven murmured to Starfire.

Cali shook her head.

"Would you like to play a video game that has music in it?"

Cali nodded and Beast Boy led her over to the video games.

Soon, Cali, Cyborg, and Beast Boy were wrapped up in a Donkey Konga video game. (AN: I don't own it. I couldn't remember the actual name of the video game. It has these bongos to go along with it and you get scored by how good you play a certain song or something.)

"So, Angela, you're getting a job interview tomorrow? What type of job are you looking for?" Raven asked.

"I want to start off by working at a restaurant. I'm all ready working at a pest store for fun." Angela replied.

"You know, I don't think it would be a problem if we took Cali for a few hours tomorrow.Seeing as it's just an interview you're going to and it shouldn't take very long." Raven said.

Robin smiled at Raven in thanks as Starfire nodded in agreement.

"Yes, perhaps we could take Cali to the mall of shopping."

"I'm sure she'd love that." Angela said.

Although Starfire still didn't like Angela all that much, she did like Cali a lot.

"It's settled then. And then maybe Cyborg and Beast Boy could play some more video games with Cali…As long as they're age appropriate." Robin piped in.

As they began to make more plans there was someone else who was listening in on their plans.

"Perfect." Slade said icily as he continued to listen to the group. It was time to put his plan into action.

&&&&&&

Sorry if that was an odd place to stop, but I wanted the team to get to know Angela a little more in this chapter and I just decided to stop at that part. Please review!
