Chapter 5: Lies Lead to Leaving
"You…you have got to be kidding me! You mean to tell me that your
husband and the father of your child is –" Robin started but then was cut
off by his wife.
"RED X!" she shouted as she saw him come in from the door. He was
wearing dark denim jeans, a red shirt and his black hair was in his eyes. He
grinned when he saw the look on all of their faces.
"Well hello to you too Rae long time no see." He commented, walking up to
his wife and putting an arm around her waist. He looked down at his son who
was beside them.
"Melbourne, go and play with the other kids now." X said to him as the
joyful little boy bounded past Raven and Robin to where their kids were and
they all ran to play some games. The parent's of the triplets watched their
kids go and then turned their attention back to the odd couple before them.
"What do you want? There had to be something you're trying to get out of
this visit." Robin said as he too wrapped a protective arm around Raven's
waist. Red X glared at him and Starfire elbowed him in the stomach to make
him stop.
"Nothing at all. We just wanted our child to enjoy a birthday party like
all the other ones here. Is that so wrong?" Starfire asked with a small
grin. Raven knew something was up. She still didn't trust Starfire one
bit, and especially not Red X.
"No…" she replied with a small smile of her own. "Not at all."
"So, what shall we do now?" Robin asked as they just stood there
awkwardly.
"Well, I guess we could talk to just catch up you know." Red X told them.
Raven and Robin looked at each other and then complied.
"Lets take a small walk shall we?" Starfire said as she and Red X started
for the door to outside the family's large estate and Robin and Raven
followed beside them, holding hands.
"And what exactly would you like to talk about Red and Star?" Raven asked
with a small scowl on her face.
"Please, call me Jason." He said to her with a cocky grin. She merely
nodded her head for them to go on with what they wanted.
"Actually, I wanted to say something to Robin…" Starfire told them as
she stopped, making everyone do the same. "Alone."
"Well why can't I –" Raven started when Jason grabbed her arm.
"I actually would like to tell you something as well Rae." He said. He
noticed the worried glances Raven had from her husband to Star. "Don't
worry, Star's over Robin. She's married to me after all and we have a
son."
Raven sighed and took one look back at Robin as she walked away with Jason.
Robin gazed back at her retreating form.
"Well what would you like to tell me Star?" Robin asked her impatiently.
"Well Robin, I would like to say a couple of things. One of them is how
sorry I am." She told him with a sad expression on her face. "I am sorry
for all of the trouble I have caused you and Raven, truly."
"Thanks Star that really means a lot to me." He told her with a small
smile. "Anything else?"
"In fact, yes." The alien said to him. "I think that there is
something you should know that I found out. It should be brought to your
attention at once…"
sweetvalerie…sweetvalerie…sweetvalerie…
"What is it…Jason?" Raven asked him. Jason sighed.
"I think that you should know something about Robin over there." Jason
told her, motioning with his head towards Robin. Raven sighed and played with
the sand on the beach they were on with her feet.
"Ok, what about him?" she asked again.
"Well, I heard from someone where I work, that when you're out shopping
or just merely out, Robin abuses the kids…" Jason started.
"What?! That's crazy talk! How could you say such a thing Robin would
never dare touch a hair on any of their heads in such a bad manner!" Raven
yelled at Jason, mad at him for making accusations.
"I'm sorry Rae but it's the truth." He told her with an apologetic
frown. Raven shook her head a couple of times.
"No…no…that can't be possible. Why should I trust you anyway?" she
replied to him.
"Because Raven it's true. I wouldn't lie about stuff like this. I
have a kid too you know. I'd want to know right away as well if Star was
abusing him or not. I just thought that you should know the truth before
things got bad." He reasoned.
"But the kids never said anything…they don't have a scratch on them."
She countered.
"You know Robin. He can do anything. He's the Boy Wonder." Jason
responded.
Raven gulped. Could what Jason was saying be true?
Sweetvalerie…sweetvalerie…sweetvalerie…
"You mean to tell me that Raven has been abusing out children?" Robin
asked Starfire in an obvious 'I don't believe you' tone.
"Yes. I have heard it at where I work. One of my many colleagues was
asking me if I knew a Raven Grayson, and I told her yes. And she told me not
to tell anyone, but that she knew that she abused her children, and when you
were out and at work." Star told him. Robin scoffed.
"Yeah, and I'm supposed to believe YOU of all people?" Robin asked her.
She nodded.
"Yes, she does indeed Robin I am sorry to tell you that but it is true."
Star said.
"But, there isn't even anything wrong with them. If – IF – Raven did
abuse them there would be traces of that. They would have said something.
The kids aren't babies they can talk and stand up for themselves." Robin
countered.
"I know, but you know Raven. She has healing abilities. She could do
anything she wanted to them when she gets mad – and you know she always had
a temper – and then fix it back up and wipe their memory without them even
knowing it." Star told him.
Robin looked over his shoulder at his wife and Jason. Raven would never do
such a thing. She was too sweet and kind of a mother…right?
Just then she came storming up to him with Jason right on her heels and came
up to Robin with eyes full of fury.
"What if WRONG with you!?" Raven asked him loudly.
"What are you talking about?" Robin questioned her.
"I'm talking about you abusing the kids when I'm gone!" she shouted
in his face as she threw her arms in the air. Robin gaped at her.
"ME!? Why would I ever do such a thing?! Why are YOU abusing the
children?" he yelled right back.
"Why would I do that? I LOVE our children! I would never do anything to
put them in harms way let alone PUT them in harm myself and you KNOW that
Richard!" she said back tears in her eyes.
"Well I don't believe you!" Robin shouted at her. Raven gasped at
glared at him.
"Well I don't believe you either!" she yelled as she went to Jason's
side. "And I refuse to be associated with someone that can't trust me
because of something they heard. I'm going with Jason back to his place
since I can trust him!"
"Fine! Live there for all I care! Just stay away from me! I'll be here
with Starfire!" he told her.
"Then the kids are staying at my mothers. I'm going to call Arella now.
Come on Jason." She said as she wiped the tears from her face and stormed
off in the direction of the house with Jason following, glancing back at the
other two with a bewildered expression.
"You were right Star. Thanks for telling me." Robin told her gratefully
as he wiped the couple stray tears from his cheeks. Star nodded
apologetically.
"It is all right. Let us go in." She said to him as they walked towards
the house now too.
Sweetvalerie…sweetvalerie…sweetvalerie…
"I'm sorry for putting you in a bad position Jason." Raven apologized
to him after she got off the phone with Arella. "I was just so mad
and…well I need a place to stay since Robin and I aren't going to be
talking and I don't want to cause any harm to the children with this.
Thanks for understanding. I hope Starfire does. Will she mind me staying
with you at all?"
"I don't think so. She understands what's going on and knows that you
won't want to be in contact with him at all, so she'll be here to clean
and make sure that nothing happens." He told her reassuringly. She nodded
and called her children over. The only kid left from the party was
Melbourne.
"Kids, you guys are going to stay at Grandma's for a while, okay?" she
told them. They looked at her puzzled.
"Why?" little Serenity asked her mother. Raven sighed.
"Because, it's what's best at the moment, and Grandma misses you
guys." She said. They looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Well, daddy and I are actually having a little argument, so we need some
time alone and want you guys to stay with Grandma, okay? Can you do that for
mommy?" she asked them. They all sighed and nodded their heads. Raven
smiled down at them. "My little angels…be good while you're away. I
already packed your clothes in your suitcases. Here they are." she said as
her black aura carried them in and they dropped in front of the children.
"Grandma should be here soon…" Raven said just as a horn beeped in the
front. "That's here. You guys be good for her." She kissed them each
on the forehead as they walked out and she said that she loved them as they
piled in the van and drove away.
"Well, I'm packed as well, so I guess that we should be going." She
told him as they walked down the hall.
On their way down the hall they passed Robin and Starfire. Raven and Robin
spotted each other and looked the other way. Jason and Starfire made eye
contact, a gleam in them. Both smiled at each other and as they passed gave
each other a silent high five.
There plan was working perfectly…
Sweetvalerie…sweetvalerie…sweetvalerie…
There it is. Please tell me what you think and what Red X and Star are up
to.
Until next time…
