A lot of you aren't gonna like this sequel. It's gonna be a little odd and I will fully acknowledge that I'm kind of just doing what I want. I do hope you give it a chance past chapter 1 tho!
Mayday mayday, the ship is slow sinking
Chapter 1.
Raven stared at the small bundle sleeping on the soft looking cot.
This beautiful bundle with his grey skin, his little tuft of black hair, and those purple eyes staring directly into her soul. A gift from the heavens, he was that perfect.
Raven smiled and touched the baby boy's hair.
At just two weeks old Thomas Jason Wayne was already exhibiting his power. It was only in the form of small blasts when he was hungry but it was power nonetheless. The latest blast occurring only moments before and ending with a generous feeding of milk from his mothers breast.
He was keeping his mother on her toes with the bursts of dark magic and it didn't help that the half of the bat family were currently MIA.
Raven sighed. It had started with Tim going missing and so Batman had gone in search of the young man. After a month of no contact Damian had gone in search and now he had been missing for almost a month himself. Jason left a week prior but they lost contact with him immediately. It was becoming a mess. Dick was all that was left and he had been forced to take the cowl in order to ensure Gothams safety. It was hard times for all involved.
"Aunt Raven!" The frantic voice of 5-year-old Ryand'r Grayson yelled.
Raven stood up from the cradle to see why her small nephew was yelling.
The small black haired and green eyed boy was floating into the room, his younger sister Mar'i toddling behind him.
"What's wrong?" The 20-almost-21 years old asked.
"Dove is in a tree again trying to help down Alfred the Cat!" The boy yelled.
Raven sighed but she couldn't help but smile.
Oh, the other light of her life. Her mischievous little bird.
"Oh, Dove," Raven sighed. "Ryand'r, would you do me a favor and look after TJ?"
"Of course Aunt Raven!" The young boy said.
"Me?" The little toddler, Starfire replica, asked.
"You can come with me," Raven told the child as she picked her up.
"Kay Aunt Rae!"
Raven smiled as she teleported to the outside where the trees were And Low and behold, there was her older child sitting with the old cat on the highest branch.
Raven put down Mar'i and floated up towards her young daughter.
The girl in question was a beautiful 5-year-old little girl. She had pale white skin, a small nose, purple eyes, and white blonde hair. She looked much like her mother but most likely had her father's natural coloring.
The coloring of her skin and hair, much to Raven's relief, was all she had gotten from her father.
Also to her relief, a few flying powers and some powerful empathy were all she had inherited from her mother as well.
Dove Roth-Wayne was also perfect. She was sweet and kind with a love for people and animals that made her a beautiful soul. And unlike her mother, Dove had no demonic blood coursing through her veins and to Raven, she was an angel sent here to repent for her sins.
And her crazy sperm donors sins as well.
Raven had been so relieved when she found out Dove had not inherited the demonic powers. Sure she may be genetically quarter demon but Dove had been lucky to have skipped the trigon essence Raven had in her. Young TJ, she was unsure of, but God knew Raven would do whatever it took to protect him from being tainted by darkness. She would do anything to keep her children from being tainted from the darkness.
"Need some help," Raven said giving her daughter the 'don't argue with mama' look.
Dove smiled sheepishly.
"Maybe," she said innocently. "I might need a little help."
Raven smiled and gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek as she lowered her and the cat down.
Dove had been a terrifying surprise. It had been 3 weeks after she had banished him when she had begun to feel off. Her powers went haywire and she had become ill, vomiting at odd hours of the day.
It had been Jason who had suggested that she might be pregnant. She had argued that was impossible of course. She had been given the proper emergency contraceptives and had taken precautions. Yet days went by and she continued to be sick until she had asked Jason if he would help her get checked. Being the good older brother that he was, he took her to see a gynecologist at a planned parenthood near them.
She had indeed been pregnant and for a split second, she had thought about terminating. She did not want to bring the Jokers to spawn into the world. It had been Jason who convinced her against the idea.
He had said it was ultimately her choice and no one could judge her. He had also said that he believed she would be a great mother and she would be able to help this baby be better than who had sired her and that had reminded Raven of her own mother. The mother who had kept her and helped her become more than just the vessel for Trigon.
With that in mind, she had kept her baby and told Damian.
Damian had been upset at first but after a few talks with Jason, he decided that he would help her and the child. He was Dove's papa now.
Bruce had been quiet and aloof but Raven sensed dread and fear when she had told him. That had lasted until she had been born and Bruce held her for the first time. He immediately became a grandfather once more and he truly did love her. Raven just had to make sure he never got any ideas of making her the next Robin. TJ as well for that matter. Damian was already fantasizing about it but she had a gut feeling TJ would be a different type of bird.
A bird more like her.
"Mama, "Doves sweet little voice rang out. "When are the papa and all my uncles coming back?"
Raven frowned.
That's something she would have liked to know too.
All the men had been gone so long. She was fearing the worst.
"I'm not sure," she told her daughter. "We just have to wait and hope they are all fine."
Dove looked at her with knowing eyes.
"You're scared mama," she said.
"I am," Raven replied honestly. "but we must have hope."
Dove gave her a sweet smile which calmed her down.
"I hope Papa, grandfather, and my uncles will be okay then," she said.
"Hope!" Little Mar'i mimicked.
Raven smiled and gave both girls a kiss on their foreheads.
Oh the Titans had all been through so much in the past five years.
The Joker incident.
Redhood returning.
The birth of not one but three Titan children.
TJ had been a happy accident, Raven didn't know they never truly worked on her and all it took was one unprotected time and it happened.
Mar'i had also been a happy accident. A happy drunken accident but loved by her family none the less.
But even with the gift of new life, awful things occurred as well.
Kori was gone. An attack by her sister forcing the alien to sacrifice herself to save then all. Comand'r was gone as well but at a great cost.
Dick, for all the tragedy in his life was still a hopeful and happy man for he had two children who needed that.
Raven looked at all the children as she put them each to bed. She had given up being a heroine to protect and raise all them to be strong and happy. She would could never replace Kori but she was sure as hell would be there for them anyway. Anyhow, being mother to her own children was her life, helping Dick out only made her happier.
She placed a sleeping Mar'i on her new toddler bed and kissed her forehead.
"Night auntie Rae," the happy toddler yawned.
"Night," she replied.
Raven went to the bed of her daughter and kissed her pale forehead.
"Goodnight my love," she said.
"Night momma," the girl said yawning as well. "There is someone here."
Raven frowned as her daughter mumbled words. She sensed it too. Someone was outside.
Raven stood up and locked all the children's rooms down and sent a signal to Batman ( Dick).
She felt apprehensive as she phased through the walls to the outside. She wasn't too rusty when it came to fighting but weakened due to giving birth only two weeks prior.
She phased outside and looked around and quickly flew to the body on the ground.
"Tim!" she yelled as she helped the man up.
"Raven," he said with a low and pained voice.
He wrapped his arms around her. He was bruised and beaten but he was alive and afraid.
"Thank god it's you," he said as he passed out.
Raven levitated the man into the room and called for Batman.
Raven stared at the man. He looked very hurt and she could hardly sense his emotions.
What had happened?
End Chapter 1
We'll see how this goes. Bear with me.
