I've just started and story and now another. Well I had to do this before it went out of my mind. Couldn't have that.

The windy city was living up to its name the second time someone tried to kill her. At least that's what Raven thought they tried to kill her. Standing at the side of the road, with panic in her chest, her hip throbbing, her calf burning and her coat flapping in the wind.
"You alright lady", shouted a man out his window. Raven nodded weakly trying to pull herself together. Around her people were mumbling, giving out about dangerous drivers.
"Where's a cop when you need one", said one old lady.
"Not here thank god", thought Raven. The last thing she needed was a member of the law spotting here. Especially someone who could contact the titans.
Assuring everyone she was fine as she stood back up again. Her knees weren't sure of themselves but after sorting through her aches, she concluded she wasn't badly hurt. The car had missed her after all. Thanks to the wind.
"You're sure you are alright", the driver asked. A brunette woman beside her advised her to call the police. Another suggested she go to a hospital to get checked out. Someone thought she should call a lawyer although they didn't say what for.
Raven put a hand protectively over her stomach. A little wiggle inside assured her all was well.
"You better sit down again", suggested the brunette. "You look a bit pale".
"I'm always pale", replied Raven as she pushed past the people ignoring their staring. The last thing she wanted to draw attention to herself.
Five minutes later she was at where she had originally set off. A small café. Sure it was unheard but it did make a good herbal tea, which she now badly needed.
Sitting down at her usual table Raven watched as the waitress made her way over to her table.
"Hey Rachael", greeted the waitress. "The usual".
"Hi Charlotte", smiled Raven. "Yeah. Herbal tea". Charlotte nodded and made her way back to the counter. Less than five minutes later she was back.
"Shouldn't you be eating something as well", asked Charlotte. "After all you should be eating for two and I don't think babies are too fond of tea".
"Don't worry", reassured Raven. "I'm being healthy". Charlotte raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
"So how far along are you", asked Charlotte.
"Just gone four months", replied Raven taking a sip of her tea.
"I guess its scary being on your own doing this", sighed Charlotte taking a seat across from the former titan. "Did the dad walk out on you when he found out".
"He was half way across the country about three hours after the baby was conceived", said Raven solemnly. Charlotte's mouth went into an O shape. Charlotte was about to say something when a shrill voice screamed out.
"Hey girl. I don't pay you to chat with our customers. Get back to work".
Charlotte sighed and giving Raven a sad look stood up. "Talk later", mouthed Charlotte. Raven nodded and got back to drinking her tea.
People came in and out but Raven took no notice of them. They ignored her as well, which suited Raven just fine.
The bell rang signalling that someone had opened the door to the café. Instead of taking a seat in another part of the building the footsteps drew closer to her table. The figure stopped and stood over her table. Annoyed Raven shot her head up to tell the guy to go away.
Instead her voice caught in her throat. She recognised the figure straight away. After all they had gone out together. Sure it was only a month but that was long enough to get to know each other a bit more. If they hadn't she wouldn't be pregnant right now.
"Hello Raven".
"Will you shut up", whispered Raven alarmed someone might have heard him. Luckily everyone else was too busy with their own coffees and teas to notice the couple.
"What do you want", sighed Raven exasperated. There was silence between the couple as her ex glanced around the café alarmed.
"Come on", he said grabbing Raven's arm and pulling her up off her seat. Raven pulled back trying to free her arm from his grasp.
"What's going on here", growled a voice behind them. "I don't want any trouble in my café". If no one had noticed the couple before but now everyone was staring at them.
"Look its between Rachel and me".
"I don't want any of my customers being manhandled".
The two men glared at each other. Every person in the place was now staring at them. Raven's arm was still in his grasp and was beginning to hurt.
"Let us out".
"Not until I find out what's going on".
That was the last straw. With his free arm he send the owner fling into another table. The people there sat stunned. Before Raven had time to think she was dragged out back into the cold. She was led to a car not to far away.
The whole journey from the café to the car consisted of Raven snarling and trying to dig her heels into the ground to try and stop moving. It was too risky to use her powers in public and she was too weak to pull herself out of his grasp.
When they reached the car Raven was roughly shoved into the back and the door slammed behind her. The driver's door opened and her captor slid into the car. Raven remembered this car well but not really for get driven to places.
Raven thought about the past experiences in the car and blushed. Pulling herself together she tried to open the door but found to her horror it was locked.
"Don't try anything Raven. People will think its suspicious if a door just blows off its hinges. Don't want you getting nearly getting killed twice today".
Raven looked up in shock. "Have you been following me", demanded Raven.
Her captor did not answer the question. "Did you really believe that that car nearly knocked you down by accident? That man in the car was sent to capture you".
"And instead of getting captured by one group of villains I get captured by you. I so lucky", said Raven sarcastically.
The figure turned around to face Raven for the first time since getting into the car. "So how's the baby".
Raven gasped. "How did you know? You've been spying on me haven't you"?
"Raven", smiled her captor. I'm a man of many talents. You should know that by now", Concentrating on the road for a minute he then turned back to face Raven. "You haven't changed since I last saw you".
"You're right. That was when you slept with me for the last time and then left for New York without telling me", said Raven angrily. It was good to get this off her chest. She hadn't seen him for at least five months. At first she had she had been heartbroken he had left.
She had left the titans two months before hand and had no one to talk to about what she was going through. Then she found out she was pregnant.
"Raven will you stop being such a drama queen", moaned her captor.
"I'm acting like a drama queen. I have every right to. Every villain and hero is trying to hunt me down and I got pregnant with my enemy".
Rafe turned to look at her. "Oh. The last part must be so hard. Getting pregnant by me".
Raven looked away. "Shut up X".
