I hung up with BB looking directly at... well... BB, but only when he was around the same age as this little guy. Someone gave birth to my hommie's kid somewhere, or gotten a hold of his DNA or something, and made an exact replica.

Freaky!

But as I gotten a good look at the kid, he had... Raven's eyes?

Strange, but not so much. BB told me about the evening they spent together, and how she'd basically moved in his house before her father took her. The excitement in his eyes, and the love in his voice as he talked about her, made me proud that my little dude finally found his happiness. So, this has to be their child! It has to be! I mean, there's no other explanation. He must've gotten her knocked up that night?

But... she's dead right? Wait does this mean Raven is alive?

She could be amongst the flock of Scathe hostages that came into H.Q. I listened into the interview that Karen, my wife was conducting with the little clone. I had to know what the heck is going on. I came out of my jumbled thoughts and turned on the mic, listening intently behind the one-way mirror that separated us.

"So what's the deal with this one?" I asked Star as she accompanied me to where my interview will be conducted.

"I don't know the details. I just says he's a minor, approximately 6 or 7 years old. He is extremely scared but is willing to talk for... macaroni." Star giggled at the thought, carrying a bowl of cheesy goodness for the boy.

"Great! Well I guess coffee is out for him." I still got me a cup and grabbed a 'Juicy Juice' for the kid.

"Okay... here we go. I really hope that he's not a bitter." I joked while we both chuckled, as Star nodded in agreement. I then opened the door, laying my eyes on what I couldn't believe!

This child looked up and I nearly dropped the contents in my hands. Oh my freaking goodness, this little boy looks like... Garfield! I mean just like him! But his eyes had the uniqueness of... RAVEN! I looked at Star and she was just as shocked as I am right now. So much in fact, she almost dropped the child's lunch.

"Oh wonderful! My mac and cheese! May I have it? I'm awfully hungry miss." The child flashed Garfield's amazing toothy smile. And with shaky hands, Star handed it to him.

"Thank you very much Mrs. Grayson." He started to eat.

"Uh... how did you know my name?" Star was confused. The little boy pointed to her badge and said...

"It's on your shirt. It says Special Agent Star Grayson." He broke to answer her with a mouth full of cheesy pasta.

"My apologies. I spoke with my mouth full. That's not polite." He grinned again, and I saw BB again.

This is just freaky.

When did he have a kid that lives in South America? He didn't go on any exotic vacations around that time this child was born. I know because he was in rehab for his arm and shoulder 5 out of the 7 days of the week! And I know this child doesn't belong to Terra! I'm freaking out, but I have a job to do.

"You know young man. We'll let you enjoy your lunch and be right back. Is that okay with you?" I said handing him the juice. He just nodded his head, then Star and I went left out, immediately going into the adjacent room that Victor was in.
