It's funny how I found myself in love with you, if I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose one half won't do. I've asked myself how much do you commit yourself?

Kyyd Wkkyd POV
Widening my eyes I turned from the shocked looking Gizmo and Billy and focused on the Teen Titans now posed near the wall. Robin was in the front of the group with his hands on his hips and his foot on top of a piece of wall, Cyborg had his sonic cannon raised and was pointed straight towards Gizmo, Beast Boy had changed into a large tiger that was snarling menacingly, Starfire was flying low in the air with her hands and eyes a light with her green energy, and Raven was standing protectively in front of the three children with her hands encased in her pulsating black magic.
Noticing something move in Teether's arms my eyes widened when I realized that the thee kids were holding their respective animals that had been bought at the mall that day.
Before I could react Robin shouted another 'Teen Titans, Go!' and Beast Boy had leapt at me in squid form and wrapped his tentacles around my head, now as some of you might not know is that squids have beaks and when that beak is dangerously close to your eye you start to freak out just a little. Failing my arms and trying to push and pull his arms off I had a momentary lapse of sanity where I reached inside my cowl and teleported a few feet away, watching him I heard him shout a quick 'Woah!' before turning into a cat to land on his feet. Turning to me he changed into a tiger and leapt, making sure my cowl was wrapped tightly around my and I dodged his paw swipes repeatedly and waited for my moment to strike. That's when I heard Melvin scream and I quickly stopped dodging only to be swiped down by Beast Boy's heavy paws, grunting I kicked him off towards the wall and quickly got to my feet gasping when I took in the scene that had gone on behind me.
A large amount of Billy's had tackled Raven to the hard cement factory floor (46, pain, anger, gonna hurt, how many times has she ?) and keeping her short bursts of magic from escaping, high above on the cat walk that hung over the vats there were five Billy's; two were my three kids off the floor, one held Timmy's blanket above a vat successfully silencing the three, and the last two were holding the new pets above the toxic vats. Growling I wrinkled my nose and reached my hand inside my cowl when I heard it, it was like the sound of metal scraping against metal and it was coming from Timmy. Distracted I tried to call out to him when the pained howls of two small puppies and cries of a helpless kitten reached my ears followed quickly by three deep splashes.
"Swee-eat! Way to go Billy! Look at those suckers sink, like a barrel full o' stones!"
Feeling my anger explode at the sound of the sobbing of the three small children and knowing I couldn't comfort them (villain, bad, demon, you don't deserve ) I reached out to my teammates with my mind and roughly grabbed a hold of them before quickly teleporting us out with a growled
'We're leaving, now!'
Back at the Hive Five Headquarters
'What in the world did you think you were doing?'
Teleporting each one of us into the main room, including all 51 of the Billy's, and still managing to hold my energy and angry was very dangerous and would probably make me a little unstable,
good thing I wasn't thinking about that now.
Slowly letting all of his copies return to the original Billy frowned and crossed his arms over his chest, "What's it ta ya? Not liked we killed no one or blew up the factory, just threw a couple of brats pets."
Snarling I turned and faced Gizmo who was messing with his gadget pack and grumbling angrily.
'Are you not going to say anything?'
Looking up and wrinkling his nose Gizmo looked at me like I was a computer program that had gone wrong before going back to tweeking his gadget pack slowly, "You're both wrong. Billy, you should know better now that you went and pulled that stunt the Titans are gonna be on our nook-sniffin' tails. Eli, don't be difficult we're villains I know you got a soft spot for those booger-sniffin' snots but we are not allowed to car, just try not to think about it."
Narrowing my eyes I turned to Baran, who looked like he was ignoring everything, and Seymour, who gave me a pitying look, before I scowled and stormed out to my and slamming the door behind me.
"What's gotten his panties in a bunch?"
Two Days Later
Staying in my room for a two whole days I realized that I didn't really know what I was trying to carry out with my idiot roommates (well not technically since both Gizmo and Seymour were basically geniuses when it came to technology, Billy could do math in his head instantly, and Mammoth was great at mixing chemicals and not die-ing) I decided to teleport to the local coffee-house, Arbata Kvaiša, and drown myself in tea.
Teleporting around the corner of the coffee-house, trying to avoid being suspicious, I walked out of the alley way and slipped inside the dark corner store letting the heavily tinted door slam behind me. Closing my eyes I breathed in and let the sweet smell of crème, sugar, and coffee overwhelm me before I walked over to the counter. Hearing another person about to come to the door I walked to the counter and pointed at the special English Breakfast tea that they always keep displayed on the wall, nodding her understanding Sarah smiled and greeted me with a small wave of her hand before handing me the freshly brewed tea and turning to the new customer. Smiling contently I clucked my tongue and went over to a table in a far corner next to the big window and sat down, but before I could sip the steaming tea the door quickly opened in a wash of fall air followed by an exasperated "Elliot Night!'
Blinking slightly I lifted my eyes from my tea and widened them at who I saw.
It... was Raven?
She stormed to my table and promptly collapsed in the chair across from me in a hurrumph, before I could gather my thoughts (shock, confusion, ecstasy, oh no I haven't checked the mirror in days ) and ask my question she looked at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen on anyone. Those eyes hurt my heart, reaching out I took her cold hand in my own warm ones and tried to get my meaning across without using my telepathy.
She looked at me for a couple of seconds before sighing, dipping her head down, and slowly closing her eyes. Taking back her hand she pinched the bridge of her nose before looking back up with defeat shining clear in her eyes, but over what I couldn't guess.
"The kids- Melvin, Timmy, and Teether- have been begging for you. For some reason they've gotten it in their heads that you're" wince. "You're their new dad and they're so upset because..." sigh. "because there's been an accident and.."
"Wait, what!" I exclaimed, "Are they all okay? Are you okay?"
Looking up from the captivating spot on the table she blinked her large beautiful doe eyes rapidly before she gave a sad laugh before shaking her head, "No they're fine... well not fine they are devastated, but the animals that w had gone to the store to buy were in an, accident. They're still alive, but the shock that came with it terrified them really horribly and like I said they've- some how -gotten it into their heads that you're their new dad so they've called for you non-stop lately."
Frowning I thought back to the toxin vats and how in the world did the small things survive until I remembered that the poor things were still crying when we left (Raven's magic? of course it has very strong properties, but those chemicals were too strong to ever truly leave they'd be infused for ).
Swallowing I squashed down all my empathetic feelings and signaled Sarah the barista for another cup of tea. Coming over she handed the English breakfast tea to Raven before walking off, but not before winking at me over Raven's head. Shrugging at her I saw that Raven was staring oddly at the tea and then me alternating between them a couple of times, and a curious look on her face when it hit me.
"I'm-I'm sorry I didn't mean to assume I-I just-"
Holding up her hand and shaking her head she brought the tea to her face and I was under the strong impression that she was hiding a smug look in her cup.
"It's fine," she said into her mug "I just thought it was Earl-Gray and I don't particularly like the taste of it."
Still blushing a little from my embarrassment I coughed and squirmed at the awkward silence- at least I thought it was awkward -and took a sip of my tea. "So what accident were the pets in exactly?"
Roughly gulping down her mouthful of tea she shifted her eyes to the window and lowered his cup, "A water-incident. They almost drowned, but they'll live."
"What can I do to help?"
Looking back at me her face softened, "Well they've finally fallen asleep but when they do wake up if we could call you so you could speak to them that would be wonderful."
Nodding I took the napkin from the middle of the table and a random pen off of the table next and scribbled down the number for her, but not before struggling to get the darned pen to work.
"912-739-5479?"
Nodding I lifted my tea to my mouth and took a deep gulp before placing it back down, when I looked back up Raven was giving me a quizzical look with her lips pursed, "Do you know how they came about thinking you were their new dad?"
Breathing in slowly I shook my head and watched as she frowned in thought before looking back at me, "Are you okay with them calling you dad?"
Nodding I gave a toothy smile before relaxing into the back of my chair,
"How could I not? I've fallen in love with them already."
Author's Note: I'm watching Batman: Under the Red Hood and I am just completely blown back, I had forgotten how much I loved Jason Todd.
I'm so very very very very sorry for the wait, but I have a very valid reason! I'm moving to a completely different continent and my computer was one of the first things to go when packing, unfortunately for both you and I my families visas have been delayed so I can't really get a whole lot of writing in until I'm on the plane :[[[ I'm so sorry.
I hope you notice that we're getting closer to Kyyd's psyche 'cause I'm really trying to make this more than just a romance story, I am ;.;
