17Chapter 3. I really like writing this story. I don't know why. It's addictive. Later on the story money is going to be mentioned and I'm going to use my currency. Sorry if it annoys anyone. Just imagine it as your own currency if you can or trans-change it if you want.
Chapter 3: Moving in and right back out.
Dinner went all right if you ask me.
My mam just adored Starfire. Dad kept asking Cyborg and Robin different things and BB and Raven just stuck together.
Mam liked the name I gave Nathan.
"Sweetie." Mam said catching me by myself.
"Yeah mam?" I asked, filling Nathan's bottle.
"There's something you should know about Nathan." It didn't sound good. I was waiting for him to have some fatal disease or something.
"He's like you. He has powers." Mam said.
"What does he have?" I whispered.
"He's psychic."
I walked out of the room and up the stairs with Nathan's bottle.
He was awake when I got there.
"Hello Nathan." I said showing him his bottle.
He squealed with delight as I took him up into my arms.
He took his bottle from me but not with his hands, with his mind.
Thank you. I heard in my mind. He was looking up at me like he would have said that.
"You're welcome."
"Can I ask you something?" mam asked.
I didn't reply so she took it as a yes.
"Take him with you to Titan's tower. It would do you all good. Especially him. He needs to have full control over his powers. I don't want him to destroy the house on me. Not with that power of his." Mam said.
I was already packing his most needed stuff. I'll come back for them later with one of the small ships.
"Please talk to me darling." Mam whinged.
"Why? Just to hear you talk about you being selfish like you always are. I'm glad I moved to Titans tower away from you. Nathan will be happier too." I said.
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT IT!" mam screeched.
The team came up after hearing the shouting. Nathan started to cry.
"Shush. It's ok. I'm here." I soothed.
"You would have made a great mother." Dad said.
"That's not keeping us here. Come on guys, we're leaving." I said walking past my parents, Nathan in my arms and bag over my shoulder. I went into the kitchen and packed up all the baby food.
"Is there anything else you would like in particular?" I asked Nathan.
Some milky rice would be good.
"We'll go to the market tomorrow and we'll get all your favourites." I said checking my cash. I didn't really have much and I definitely wasn't borrowing from the team.
"Here's money toward Nathan." Dad said handing me a couple of hundred euro.
"Thanks." I said gratefully.
"We love you, just your mother has lost the plot a little." Dad said as we left the house.
"She never had it to lose it. See you around dad." I said walking away.
What's the water dripping from the sky?
"Rain." I answered.
"Who are you talking to Lauren?" BB asked.
"I'm teaching Nathan." I said.
"Ok. It's getting heavy. I'm running home." BB said transforming into a cheetah. Raven followed and Starfire flew with Robin. Cyborg called the T-car and it arrived almost immediately.
"Come on. We'll drive home." Cyborg said to me.
"Thanks." I said, getting in.
Cyborg sped home while Nathan fell asleep.
"He's the split image of you, you know." Cyborg said.
"You think so?"
"Yeah. You'd swear that Nathan was your kid."
My face heated up at the thought of Nathan but I remembered that he wasn't on about the jerk but on about the baby. Great, now jerk Nathan was in my head.
"Hello? Lauren?" Cyborg knocked on my head.
"What?" I asked snapping out of my trance.
"We're here." Cyborg said getting out of the car.
I got out of the car and went inside the building, going straight to my room.
I'm wet from the rain.
"I'll dry you now." I said, a flame appearing in my hand out of nowhere.
"Whoa. Looks like my powers and expanding."
What do you mean?
"I could only control them but now they can appear out of nowhere." I said grinning and changing him out of his wet clothes and into clean nappies.
You look pleased.
"I am. Now let's get you dry."
I heated the towel and wrapped it around him.
That feels nice. I'm going to go asleep.
"I packed some PJ's for you. When you're dry you can change into them. I'll go and pick up the rest of your stuff from your room. Who do you want to keep an eye on you?" I asked.
Beast Boy. He's funny but he's gentle.
"Ok. Are you dry?"
Yes. Thanks.
I took the towel from him and put on his PJ's.
Now when he was ready I didn't bother changing because I was going to get wet again anyway.
"Let's go and look for Beast Boy." I said picking him up.
He's playing games with the robot and the cape.
"The robot is Cyborg. The cape is Robin."
I can't ask why he picked the name of a bird.
"Why not?"
I can only talk to you since we're related.
We found BB and the guys indeed playing games.
"Guys." No reply.
"Guys." I said louder. No response.
The plant attacked them.
"What?" BB asked.
"I need you guys to mind Nathan for a while." I said.
"Ok. You guys play in without me. I'll mind Beast Boy junior." BB said taking him from me with the biggest, childish grin on his face.
"His name is Nathan BB." I corrected.
"Whatever. Let's play!"
"Hey Robin. Where'd you but the keys to the mini T-ship?" I asked searching the drawers.
"It's near my bike. The keys are in it. Why?" I was already gone.
I hopped in and started it up (It's a one seater btw)
I flew to my parents house and hovered outside, the end facing to the window.
There was a plant sitting on the window so it opened the latch for me and I climbed in.
When everything was packed and the room was bare-ish the door handle started to rattle.
I darted for the window but was too late.
"I figured you'd come to collect the rest of his stuff." mam said in her dressing gown.
"I was just about to leave and I'm going now." I said, both my legs dangling out of the window.
"I've come to a decision that you're moving here and you are staying here for good." mam said.
The wind blew through the room roughly, caused by me.
"Never in mine or Nathan's lifetime." I said leaving in the ship.
When I arrived back home no lights were on but the telly was. I left the ship hovering outside my window just like I did at my parents house.
"They're probably on watching a movie. If BB has Nathan watching scary movies he's dead." I muttered taking the cot out of the boot.
"Talking to yourself again. Some things never change." an unwelcome voice said.
"What do you want Nathan?" I said Setting the cot down beside my bed and took the barrier down, setting it up like a bridge.
"I thought I'd visit."
I lifted my fist and turned to him ready to thump and I landed it in his jaw.
"Ouch. Why do you enjoy doing that?"
"That was for kissing me."
"Admit you enjoyed it."
"I didn't enjoy it. You put me in hospital for ages. I only got out today."
"You serious? I didn't know I was that good." he said helping me unpack the T- miniship and setting it on the end of my bed.
"I'm sorry if I came across as a jerk to you the other day. I was just happy to see you. Friends?" he asked holding out a hand.
"Friends." I said, ignoring his hand but hugging him.
"More?"
"Don't push your luck." I replied.
Nathan left about a half an hour later after helping set up the room for little Nathan.
I parked the T-miniship and went into the guys, who were watching a chick-flick. By the looks of it Starfire picked it.
"Hi guys." I whispered.
Nathan was asleep on the sofa underneath Robin's cape.
"How sweet. I'll put him to bed now. Here's your cape Robin." I said handing it to him but he shook his head.
"I gave it to Nathan as a present. By the way. You're off duty for a few months to take care of him. We can handle everything." he added as I was about to protest.
"Goodnight guys." I said leaving with Nathan.
Phew. Got that done. I like this story. If you like it please review. It doesn't take long. Even a letter will do.
