I'm Fine

What's the News

"Congrats!!" Robin cheered as Raven stayed quiet with a smile.

"Ohhh joyyy!" Starfire squealed as she flew over to give Bee and Cyborg a hug. Raven could feel the confusion coming from Beastboy. She glanced over and saw the skeptical look on his face. She elbowed him quietly snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Yeah, congrats dude!" Beastboy choked out in response to the bump from Raven but no one thought anything about it. After Cyborg served up a round of congratulatory ice cream, the team slowly made their way back to bed. Unfortunately for Raven, Beastboy wasn't quiet ready to sleep yet. He followed Raven to her room, clearly not getting the hit that she just wanted to sleep. Raven got into bed and Beastboy sat at the foot of her bed with something on his mind.

"Why are you in my room?" She finally snapped bluntly at Beastboy trying to make random conversation at 2am on her bed.

"Don't judge me for being a terrible person!" Beastboy prefaced his question and waited for the green light.

"You're not a terrible person..." Raven said with an annoyed eye roll before pulling her covers over her shoulders and rolling on her side to be ready to sleep.

"Okay, well, how on earth did Cyborg get Bee pregnant?? Cyborg told me he was unable to have kids once...because of the whole bucket O' bolts thing..." Beastboy trailed off wondering if there was a some sort of donor involved. Raven groaned and pulled her covers over her head to hide her face. She didn't want to tell Beastboy that she was involved.

"What!? It's not a dumb question?" Beastboy asked confused.

"I knowwww." Raven moaned from under the blankets.

"Thank you for agreeing with me! Now we have to get to the bottom of this!" Beastboy deduced with a strong conviction, missing that Raven was literally admitting to knowing how it happened.

"No Beastboy, I knoooow!" Raven emphasized after pulling her head from the covers. Her purple hair was tousled about her head from the covers. Beastboy started with his mouth hanging open.

"You knew and didn't tell me!?? How did it happen??" Beastboy questioned with his voice getting higher with each round of questions.

"Remember when Cyborg and Bee took that day off a few weeks ago and we all went to the beach? Well, early that morning Cyborg had me perform a spell that undid him becoming a part robot for the day so he could start a family with Bee. It's been something he's had me looking into for a while..." Raven explained in a monotone fatigue. Her annoyance with Beastboy had worn off, she somehow enjoyed that he was comfortable coming into her room and sitting on her bed now.

"Oh..." was all Beastboy could muster. After a while, he turned into a cat and crawled up to snuggle Raven to sleep.

Robin was up late in his room, writing a email to Bruce Wayne and his brothers Damien and Jason as well as Alfred. It had been a while since he'd heard from them. They had video chatted when he first woke up from his spine surgery but that was over a month ago. Usually Alfred reached every couple of weeks to see how he was doing since going out on his own. Robin really loved Alfred. If it wasn't for Alfred, who knows how many kinds of messed up he'd be from living with Bruce. He hit send and then called it a night.

The next few days were a mixture of Cyborg and Bee obsessing about baby planning and the team obsessing about the baby in general. Cyborg was the oldest of the group at 22, so it made sense that none of the others had thought about what a baby at the tower would even be like. Meanwhile, Bumblebee was consistently throwing up everything and anything she could eat. She was tremendously glad that her role as Global Titans Leader was mostly just office work and checking in with people because she was quite miserable.

At the end of the week, the Titans has the first crime alert they've had in weeks. Robin stayed back and lifted weights in the weight room. This week he had begun light lifting to start to get himself back to normal. He had been really thinking about how he would get back into crime fighting. He wasn't sure if he was going to be as agile as he once was as Robin, so he had been thinking about how to change his fighting style to compensate. He was never overly strong before, so maybe getting strong was part of the answer.

The team had gone to the city bank for a report on a robbery. Once they had arrived, they found that it was just a group of delinquent teens with toy guns and sky masks, so the team merely tied them up and had the police take them away.

Once they got back, Beastboy rushed to his room while everyone else hung out in the living room. Raven sat and read her book, waiting for him to come back out but he never showed. Eventually, she got up to investigate. His door was locked and the room was quiet so she knocked. There was no answer. She phased through the door and found Beastboy drawing in a leather bound book while sitting on his bed. He glanced up and snapped his book shut upon seeing Raven.

"RAVEN!! What the hell! I locked my door!! GET OUT!!" Beastboy shouted uncharacteristically angry in a way that actually scared Raven. She quickly phased out of the room and went to meditate on her own.

Raven was a mixture of surprised, hurt, and confused. She kept trying to meditate but couldn't focus past the burning question of what Beastboy was doing? She saw a black book in on hand and a pen in the other, maybe he had taken up journaling? Whatever it was, she didn't like how he snapped at her.

Robin got done training in the weight room to see that the rest of the Titans were back already. After a quick change of clothes, he went out to the living room to hang with Starfire and Cyborg.

Bumblebee was in her room packing a suitcase for another trip. This new job title was a lot, but she really enjoyed it. One of her strengths was the ability to mediate different groups and there was a lot to mediate with the various honorary Titans. This particular tour involved her being gone for two months, which Cyborg was unhappy about but this was her job.

Cyborg knocked on the door. It was time for Cyborg to take Bee to the airport. With Bee being pregnant and perpetually tired, they agreed that she should take flights to her destination instead of the T-ship. She zipped her suitcase and Cyborg carried it to the T-car for her.

That night Robin was on his laptop, checking his emails. There was a lot of junk, but oddly enough, nothing from Alfred or Bruce. There was a litter worry that crept into his head but he shook it off to sleep for the night.
