Second Time's the Charm

Cyborg snapped his fingers but Changeling wouldn't come around, even though they'd brought him to the couch. "Dude?! Wake up!"

Kid Flash shook him. "Wake up!"

"He's not coming around." Jinx shook her head.

"Figures." Raven muttered with an eye-roll. She phased into her room.

"Should I attend to her?" Starfire asked.

"Leave her be." Bumble Bee said. "She needs to think."

"Hey guys." Nightwing walked in with Christopher. "What did we miss?"

*•*•*•*•*

Raven walked down the dark road to a field of pink and blue flowers. She turned every which way but there was nothing but a breeze blowing by. "Hello?!"

A sharp whistling had her turning in time to catch Happy. "Yay! We're going to be a mommy!"

"Calm down, Happy." Raven groaned as she tried to pry the pink emotion away from her neck. "We're already a mommy."

"But we get to do the whole thing and we don't have to miss the first two years!" Happy was wearing a long sleeved white shirt with pink coveralls and pink striped sneakers.

Raven was able to get her off and readjusted her shirt. "We got Charlotte at the appropriate time."

"But we didn't get to feed her or change her diapers!" Happy pouted playfully.

"I feed her everyday and I taught her how to use the bathroom."

"You're determined to not be happy about this, aren't you?" Happy set her hands on her hips and giggled.

"Where's Wisdom?" She skirted the issue.

"Probably with Knowledge." Happy shrugged. Raven set on her way. "Wait! Come back and play with me soon!"

"I promise." Raven tried not to lie.

Happy waved happily. "I'll be waiting for you!"

Raven hastened down the road until the scenery changed. She walked until she saw a huge building in the distance. As it drew closer, her pace quickened. She was anxious to see Wisdom.

She pushed open the great oak doors of the library. "Hello?! Knowledge?! Wisdom?!"

She walked around until she came to a room with a fireplace and over-plump couches. On the seats were two emotions drinking tea, one in yellow, the other clad in brown.

Knowledge, wearing a yellow plaid skirt, white turtleneck, yellow sweater-vest, white socks and tan penny-loafers, looked up first. "You've come for answers."

Raven wasn't even surprised. "I have."

Wisdom, wearing a long sleeved brown big shirt with shiny, black leggings and brown booties, looked up as well. "You should talk to Changeling."

"I want to talk to you first. He's passed out. He can wait." Raven took a seat by her wisest emotion.

"What do you wish to express?"

"How can this happen?" Were the first words out of her mouth.

"The sexual intercourse?" Knowledge asked.

"No!" Raven snapped. "I know how that happened!"

"You want to know why it happened to you out of the possibility of it happening to anyone." Wisdom supposed.

"Yes."

"Every encounter is a risk." Knowledge reminded her. "Bumble Bee said it best. If once can garner this result, why would more decrease the chances?"
