Lydia Jade Logan II
Chapter 4- Changeling and Nightingale
The journey back to the tower was an interesting one. The T-Car was filled to the brim with voices and questions. Ember bombarded the Logans with questions that seemed to never end.
"I never thought i'd miss her mindless blathering." Raven laughed to her husband while stepping out of the car.
"Me either." he chuckled. "I can't believe we're a family again. It's been over 16 years."
"I know. And we owe everything to our little angel here." Raven ruffled her daughter's hair. Cyborg typed in the security code to the tower and the giant doors wushed open, revealing a very worried and figety Skylar, Madison and Christina.
"Mom! Dad!" shouted the three as they embraced thier parents.
"Skye, Maddy, Christina, we have some friends we'd like you to meet." spoke Nightwing.
The three kids turned thier attention to the figures standing behind Lydia.
"Raven? Beastboy?" asked a shocked Starlight.
"Guys, meet my parents." Lydia beamed, a toothy grin that rivaled her father's had settled onto her ivory face.
"Lydia, what?...how?...when?...huh?" Techna was at a loss for words. As were Starlight and Talon.
"You have beautiful children." said Raven to her friends. Nightwing pulled his son and daughter close.
"This is Madison Grace and Skylar Logan, also known as Starlight and Talon. And this is Cyborg and Bee's daughter, Christina Rachel; Techna."
"They're all named after us." stated a shocked Beastboy.
"What can I say, their namesake's ment alot to us." Richard smiled. "And it's not too late to be thier Godparents."
"It would be our honor, Robin." The Logans replied in unison.
"My name is Nightwing now. I outgrew Robin a long time ago and Starfire is now called Ember. Rachel and Garfield smiled at the name changes. They weren't the same friends from sixteen years ago. Ember's once waist lenght hair had been cut short, framing her sunkissed face but her fierce green eyes hadn't lost any of thier luster. She no longer wore her short purple skirt and halter, but rather a purple baby doll dress that stopped about mid-thigh, silver boots with a 3 inch heel, and her normal silver fingerless gloves with an emerald gem in the center of each hand.
Nightwing's hair had grown out to past his ears and his eyes were still covered by his ever faithfull mask. He wore a black body suit with a silver belt. The sillouette of a bird was imprinted on his chest in a royal blue color.
Bee still wore her hair up, but in one bun instead of two. Her outfit was a yellow and black body suit. The top was strapless with black and yellow stripes, the bottom was a pair of black spandex pants with yellow pinstripes. She still wore her black high heeled boots and silver wristbands. Cyborg, being made mostly of metal, was the only Titan who hadn't changed physically.
"Welcome back to the team, Nightingale and Changeling." Nightwing smiled. Both Logans looked curiously at thier leader.
"Lydia picked the names a while ago." said Cyborg picking the young girl up and swinging her around. She giggled as he sat her back down.
"Wait a sec. I thought you guys were dead?" Skye asked.
"Lydia along with my sister revived us thanks to the reanimation spell." explained Raven.
"Sister? I never knew Aunt Raven had a sister."
"Twin, actually. Her name is Vanessa Roth, or MeadowLark as she's called now. She lives in Azarath, our homeworld. She's searching for a way to revive our kind, our non demon kind that is." But the reunion was cut short due to the city's distress alarm.
"Dr. Light's robbing the bank off of Cherrydale." announced Techna pressing buttons on her armbands that doubled as a wireless computer.
"Titans, Go!" shouted Nightwing. Moments later, the Titans, including Nightingale, Changeling and Lydia stood outside of Jump City National Bank watching Dr. Light walk out with many bags of money and gold.
"Where do you think you goin'?" asked Cyborg activating his sonic cannon.
"Well hello Titans. You're just in time to see me make my grand escape." Dr. Light then pressed a button on his suit. A large beam of concentrated lightning shot forth, blinding them. "Stupid children. You will never be able to escape the light!"
"Let's see if you can escape the dark!" Dr. Light thought he recognized the voice, but didn't have time to ponder, because his body was then encased in an all too familiar black aura. He turned his head to see Nightingale hovering a few feet above him.
"What! You're alive! But how!"
"Let's just say we've been given a second chance." Raven then tore his armor apart with her powers and he dropped to the ground, surrounded by the remains of his superpowered suit.
"Ready to surrender, or do you want to reaquiant yourself with my fangs?" growled Changeling. Dr. Light was too busy cowering in front of Nightingale to notice her husband.
"Just take me to jail! Please get me away from that witch!" he shouted. Before he could say more, a dark green aura covered his head, forcing him to look upon Lydia whom was hovering above him. Rage had forced her bright jade eyes to change to a dangerous violet.
"Say that again and let's see if you can breathe!" she hissed. Her voice now raspy and evil sounding. Before she could strike, she felt a pair of warm and strong arms wrap around her waist, forcing her feet to connect with the pavement.
"That's enough, sweetheart." whispered Garfield into the pointed ear of his daughter. Her eyes resumed thier normal color and Dr. Light dropped from her grasp onto the concrete unconsious. Nightwing cuffed him and Bee dragged him off to prison. Changeling looked over at his daughter to notice her fists still clenched and her eyes threatening to turn violet again.
"Lydia, it's ok. He's gone." said her mother. Wren breathed deeply to calm herself.
"You're just as powerful as your mom at that age." laughed Gar.
