Roast Beast

"Wake up!"

Raven's eyes shot open and she sat up quickly. "Charlotte?"

"Hi, Mommy." Charlotte waved from her seated position on Raven's legs. "It's Christmas."

"Okay." Raven tried to focus then remembered what she and Changeling did the night before. She looked down quickly but was relieved when she saw she wore his shirt. "Go wake up Chris then wait for us in Sebastian's room."

Charlotte floated off the bed and ran out. "Okay, Mommy!"

Raven waited for the door to shut before flinging the covers off. Changeling flinched and reached for the covers in his sleep. "Wake up, Changeling."

He brought his pillow to cover his naked body.

Raven snatched the pillow and hit him with it. "Wake up, Gar!"

"I don't wanna, Rae!" He whined.

"It's Christmas." She sighed.

His eyes shot open and he leapt from the bed. "It's Christmas?!"

"You're naked!" She threw out a hand and stopped him from exiting the room with her powers.

Changeling looked down. "Oh. Yeah. Thanks."

She let him go. "You get dressed and I'll get the kids."

"Deal." He went to find pajamas.

She pulled on her robe and exited the room. She found Charlotte in Sebastian's room, talking to him through the bars. "Charlotte? Why are you telling him it's Christmas? He's still asleep."

"So he'll wake up." Charlotte twisted her body from side to side.

"Let's let him sleep." Raven picked him up. "Come on. We can go wake up some people before going to the common room."

"Yay!"

Raven shushed her.

"Yay."

"Ready? Get set. Go!" Kid Flash waved his hand.

The kids tore the room apart looking for milk and cookies. They came back empty handed.

"I guess that means Santa was here!" He danced in place. "Check your stockings!"

The kids ran to the stockings hanging up on the windows by little plastic hooks. They ripped them down and rooted through them happily.

"I got an orange!" Christopher lifted up the fruit.

"I got chocolate coins." Melvin counted out fifteen.

"Are you guys ready for your presents?" Bumble Bee asked.

"Yes!" The kids screamed.

Raven shushed them. "Sebastian is still asleep."

"Sorry." The kids tiptoed over to the tree and started pulling out gifts.

"I want to get up in there but I'm afraid for my life." Cyborg whispered.

Nightwing chuckled. "They're liable to tear you limb from limb."

"That's what I'm afraid of."

Changeling scratched his head. "I say one of us holds them back and the rest of us get in there."

"We get between those kids and those presents and we'll definitely need someone to hold them back."

Nightwing's shoulders shook but he made no noise. "We can wait them out."
