Chapter Four: It's Been Real

Raven Pov.

Its been about two weeks since I found out I was pregnant. I really never gave being preggers much thought, until now of corse. I worried that one of these nights on patrol would hurt my baby. Wow, that sounds weird, my baby, but in some way delightful. I was out on patrol now. It was cold, for August. I Flew from one street to another looking for any robberies to stop. But it was a calm, quiet night. I land on a building top and shivered.

When I get home Im making a steaming hot cup of tea. I shiver again.

My broach blinks and my communicator rings, great just great, "yeah?" I flip the round device open to see Robin running down the tower hall.

"Hey, robbery on twenty-second west street bank. its Mumbo." I scowl, I really don't like Mumbo. "We will meet you there," the screen went blank. I clip it back on my belt and fly over to the bank. Why Mumbo, why? so much for a quiet night...

I round a corner and see the team has just arrived too. Mumbo stood proud of his money bag, until he saw us.

"Now Robin, you wouldn't stop the show, would you?" He taunted, showing off his loot before it vanished into his hat.

Robin shook his head in disappointment at Mumbo. I can imagine what he was thinking, 'When will you learn?'

"Titans GO!" We all sprinted off towards Mumbo. Every kick, every punch we threw was to no prevail. Starefires' attacks were stopped by a bundle of exploding flowers, while Cyborg was fighting card people. Robin was preoccupied by a snake that wound around him, formily being his bo-staff. Beast boy was still fighting with me to stop Mumbo Jumbos' bad magic tricks. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" I shout sending him into a wall and stunning him for a second. I wrap him in black energy so he can't escape. Mumbo just smirks at me then glances behind me. I turn just as I see a card worrier hitting me in the jaw. OWE! I stumble backwards , and then another card man tackles me to the ground. I had forgotten about Mumbo, and he was released from my prison.

"Well, Titans it's been real, and it's been fun, but it ain't been real fun!" Mumbo bellows over our loud attempt to escapes his tricks. He then waves and is sucked into his hat, then his hat disappeared, along with everything we were preoccupied with. I get off the ground grabbing my head with one hand and my belly with the other.

"Raven? you okay?" Beast boy looks concerned at me.

"yep," I'm fine, just peachy! I let out a sarcastic remark in my head.

"We let him get away!" Robin shouts, he's mad...

"we'll just have to find him" Cyborg says dusting himself off.

"Star, look downtown. B.B., try to track were he came from. Cy, suer with raven. I'll look everywhere else." we all split up.

we found a drain and Cyborg lifted the lid, PUTRED! dropping down made my head hurt.

"Hey, you okay?" Cyborg was just as worried as Beast boy had been.

"Fine, just a headache," I told him.

After another minute of silence as we searched the suer, he spoke up, "when are you planning on telling everyone?"

"Soon, but I'm not gonna say who the father is. that would be catastrophic!"

"yeah, but you can't take to many more hits like that Rae, It's not good for either of you"

"I know, lets just get this over with."

Three hours later...

Back at the tower we were all exausted. It was SIX A.M. and the sun dared to shine in our eyes as we quickly vanished to our rooms to sleep. It was an eventful night. We caught up with Mumbo Jumbo in a junk yard hiding. now we just wanted to sleep. My feet barely made it up the steps and through the hallway to my room where I didn't bother to change and face planted into my bed.

I was in a construction yard. one lone eye stared at me with evil intent. "why can't to leave me alone?" I scream.

"little bird. you have done your father a service. Now he doesn't have to wait as long."

"wait for what? Why wont you tell me Slade?"

"what do you think I'm talking about?" he said pointing to my stomach.

"NO!" I screamed at him but Just then I was hit by his fire-ball

I shot upright in a cold sweat, still in my uniform. I look around my room, "It was just a dream-" I stop short of seeing the same one-eyed freak from my dream that just happens to work for my so-called father. He stood just feet from my bed and I held the urge to Scream again.

"Still think it's a dream?" He cocked his head to the side before dissipating in the floor.

"What is going on?" I whisper to myself before getting up to wash the sweat off me. whatever is going on, I CANT tell Robin.

Sorry this chapter isnt as long as the others. Hey did you know lol can stand for Land-O-Lakess? As in the butter company? Yep, random fact.
