Monday Pt 3 Raven

Walt sighed.

"So what you're telling me is you used up all the eggs, milk and a few other things baking cookies?"

Penny smiles. "That is correct! Friday told me the shipping courier was arriving today with the things you ordered for Senko's shrines so we made sure we had the first shipment for some of the Gardners ready for them to pick-up after." Kali, Senko, Haruna and the rest are standing behind her and all nod. Most of them at least looked embaressed.

Walt looked at Penny's smile. He was slightly concerned about "first shipment" and the fact she used up a massive supply that should have lasted weeks in a couple days and sent it out on a delivery transport truck. **** by massive cookie overdose... he supposed there were worse ways to go...."Well... it can't be helped, I suppose." He patted her on the head. "Friday, We're definitely going to need those regular baking supplies shipments we previously discussed until Penny's done."

(("Understood, Boss. I'll place the order and try to keep a stock of the ingredients she's using."))

He looked Kali. "So in the meantime I need to go fetch a few of those things now for tonight and tomorrow?"

She nodded. "I'm sorry, Walt. I hadn't realized that she had used up so much already!"

He laughed. "It's fine and it can't be helped! Make me a list of the things we need and I'll go fetch them."

He looked up and saw Raven trying to escape Ilulu's attention. He figured he'dthrow her a lifeline. "Hey Raven." She looked up. "Do you want to come-"

"Yes," she said seeing her chance to escape.

"Awwww," Ilulu said, "but I wanted to show you how I use my flame sacks to-"

"Good, we need to pick up more cookie supplies for Penny," Walt said.

Ilulu practically shoves Raven into Walt's arms. "You heard him! Go get lots of stuff for yummy food! Bring back lots of stuff!"

Raven looks up at Walt blushing a litte but still deadpans, "Take me, I'm yours... before she changes her mind."

Walt chuckles and picks her up carrying her to the door. "You got it. Later folks!"

Raven blushes at being carried out to the truck but flatly says, "my hero."

Walt smirks at her. "You're welcome. Looked like you could use a save. She's a sweet person but Ilulu's a bit much to take." He opened the passenger door for her before getting in the drivers side.

Raven nodded. "She's actually a very nice person. She and Penny remind me of Starfire a ittle bit."

Walt chuckles softly. "I can see that... I know a Starfire too and she's a sweetheart."

Raven looked at Walt. "You know a Starfire and think so too? Interesting. Yeah... the opposite of me."

Walt shook his head. "That's not true at all. You're a sweet person too. You have a lot of empathy and care for your friends. You think about the needs of others before your own. You just show it differently. Quietly, considerably and gently."

She stares at him. "You really think so?"

Walt shakes his head. "No. I know so. You're just as obviously a good person as they are. You just do it more more reservedly. Those three have little to no reservations. Probably because they're still trying to figure out being human. You try to keep your emotions in check while they revel in theirs. You're a cupcake of a different flavor is all. Just as sweet, Rachel... oops, sorry. You prefer Raven."

She blushes. "Rachel is fine, Walt."

Walt smiled at her. "Alright. How about Rachel, when it's just the two of us then?"

She nods and is quiet for awhile. "Thank you."

Walt blinked. "You're welcome but I'm not sure what for."

Rachel smiles. "For the nice things you said. I know I don't get noticed as much as Starfire or the others."

Walt shakes his head. "You get noticed a lot, Rachel. I notice you and so do all your fans. You and Star are both very popular and most people's favorite Teen Titans, including myself."

She smiled. "Who's your least favorite?"

Walt sighed. "Robin."

"Really?" She asked. "That's surprising. I would have figured he'd be your favorite."

Walt laughed. "Too annoying and riddled with issues thanks to Bruce. I respect him wanting to branch out, be different from Bruce and a leader type but I personally find all the Robins incredibly annoying except for one. Again, I blame Bruce."

"Huh," Rachel said,"interesting because you remind me of him a bit."

"What?" Walt says incredulously. "That can't be right? What do I and those twerps have in common?"

Rachel starks ticking off fingers. "Incredible daring, incredible fitness, incredible gadgets, incredible skill, incredible ability, incredible nerve, incredible drive, incredible leadership, incredible charisma, incredible heart-"

"Ok! Ok, I get it," Walt pauses thinking about. "I'm incredible, huh?"

She goes back to staring out the window, "Drop it."

Walt chuckled. "Hard to do considering you only mentioned it a dozen-"

"I only said it ten times before you interupted," she says... then blushes realizing how that sounds.

Walt smirks. "What was number eleven going to be then?"

"Incredibly annoying," she stares at him lifting an eyebrow. "Just like you said!"

Walt smiles. "Huh, I suppose you're right then. Oh, well. Guess I'm just like Robin after all. Annoying!"

"Worse," she mutters. "You're actually more annoying, like Gar..."

"What was that?" Walt holds his hand up to his ear. "Did you say something?"

"I said I can't wait to get out of this car!" She states loudly.

"Truck, actually," he grins. And what were the two before "annoying" again? Charisma and heart, yeah?"

Rachel blushes more. "Well... you are surrounded by ladies and manage to make almost all of them happy somehow..."

Walt chuckles. "Are you on that list?"

Rachel stares out the window and says. "You wish..."

"I do actually," he said going back to being serious. "I want you to be happy if I can. I don't care if it's me that actually does it but I do want that for you, Rachel. I... I made an appointment for us to see one of those specialists, I told you about. They're swamped with work right now. They discovered a huge lot of abandoned characters and then someone else might have dropped several hundred they were keeping in storage after a failed attack on their doorstep at the same time..."

She looked at him. "Was it you?"

Walt looked her. "Say allegedly."

She smirked. "Allegedly?"

Walt winked. "Allegedly it was I."

"You just dumped all that work on them?" She shakes her head.

"Actually, a couple of points. Firstly, they were already going to busy. In for a penny, in for a pound. Secondly, I don't just do a lot of business with them. I'm a founding member and have put a lot of money, time, sweat and blood into them so you could say, I indirectly help write the checks. Thirdly, they're a branch office full of unclaimed characters. I just helped them exceed their qouta by a record amount and the capture/recovery guys will be earning some seriously hefty bonuses for that. We're talking house payments! I did them another favor, not the other way around! And finally they owe me... big time!"

She shakes her head. "I take it back. You're not a Robin. You're a Batman. That is some messed up, Bruce Wayne thinking!"

Walt nods. "You're not wrong. The masks under the seat."

She stares at him.

He nods. "Go ahead."

Rachel slowly reaches under the seat. Her fingers find something and she pulls out the god awful, cheap Batman mask and stares at it.

"Seriously?"

Walt grins. "Yes."

"Seriously?!" He can see she's shaking in her seat. From the toes of her boots to the tips of her rabbit ears.

He does the voice. "I'm Batman!"

She starts laughing, "Seriously?!?!"

He grabs the mask and holds it up. "Cowboy Batman!"

She's laughing uproariously. It's a full on fit!

"That there Joker feller is plum crazier than a pole cat! Looks like he got yew with that giggle gas ah his! Gonna throw his loco ass in Arkham, I tell you what!"

She starts crying she's laughing so hard.

"Ain't no laughing matter, Rae-Rae. We needs tah grab Robin an' hightail it fur ole Metro-whats-it! That there Superninny done got hisself into a whole heap a trouble! Gots tah pull his fat from the fire, I reckon!"

"Walt!" She gasps. "Stop! Hahaha! Gonna! Hehehe! Pee my pants! Ahahaha!"

Walt chuckled and sets down the mask. "Well we can't have that." He pulls the truck over just incase besides he wants to watch her giggle fit! It's actually contagious and he finds he's joining in too!

"Stop laughing! Ahahaha! *Snort*" She demands.

Walt starts laughing harder. "I was! Hohoho! Until you snorted! Ahahaha!"

"I didn't! Tehehe! Oh god! Hahaha! I really might! Ohnohoho!" She's desperately clawing at the door.

Walt gets out of the truck and leaning on it for support gies around and opens the door for her. "Well! Heheheh! Hop your cute lil' bunny butt out! Hohoho!"

"I can't! Ahaha!" She collapses.

Walt still laughing bites his lip and reaches in an lifts her out. "Don' you pee on me Rae! Helluvah first date!"

She shrieks. "Oh set me down! Hohoho! Your fingers tickle! Hehehe!"

He sets her down chuckling and turns away. Looking at each other just makes it worse! "Want me tah walk off a ways? Hehehe! Jes in case?"

"If I say walk! Hehehe! You better run mister! Ahahaha!" She gasps.

Walt nods and chuckles,"Can do!" and walks around to the other side of the truck to be safe.

Slowly but surely their fit starts to calm down and pass.

"Walt?"

"Yeah, Rae?"

"Don't tell anyone about my snorting?"

"Scouts honor. I won't tell a soul about this if you don't want." He said. "Can stay a secret between us!"

"Hoooo. Thanks Walt! I can't remember the last time I laughed- what's that sound?"

Walt's blood runs cold as he hears the tell-tale rattle sound. "Rae... whatever you are doing. I need you to freeze right where you are. Do. Not. Move. Understand?"

"Yes," she says.

Walt stands up and pulls out his gloves. "These guys are highly venomous but the ones round here aren't that aggressive. That being said they startle easy. Don't move. Do you see them?"

"Yes," she says.

"I'm coming around slowly." He starts creeping around the truck. "Is it near you?"

"Yes," she says.

He moves a little faster since he knows it's rough location but still slow. He comes around to her side of the truck. "Oh, yeah. That's a nice one. Real beauty. Don't panic. Don't use your powers. They can move a lot faster than you think. I'll draw it's attention. Then we'll get you out of there."

"Walt?" Her eyes are wide but she's frozen like a rabbit which is good in this instance.

"Yeah, Rae?" He says picking up a stick and coming around.

"I'm a little scared," she says.

Walt nods. "You'd be a fool not to be. Only idiots and fools don't get scared. But you're only in a little trouble. Just bad luck. My bad luck. If I don't find the trouble first, it finds me. His bad luck too. He's also scared."

Walt shakes his head. It's practically between her feet. "That's why he's rattling. Some of them are vicious. A ways south of here theres ones that are among the most vicious in the world. And while this guy here is dangerous. Especially for someone your size. He's not usually viciously aggressive. His rattle is a polite warning. He doesn't want to tangle with anyone either."

He'd managed to get it's attention so it faced away from Rachel. Then he struck trapping it from just behind the head. The snake let out a very unhappy rattle. But there wasn't much it could do. "Easy fellah. Nobody wants to hurt you. Least of all me."

He picks it up and carries it around the truck to the other side of the road by some rocks. "That's roughly where you were going, yeah? Catch a little more heat before the day ends. He puts him gently on the rocky outcrop and then quickly takes two steps back. "There you go." He watches it pause testing the air... then quickly decide it wanted to be somewhere else and slid into the saftey of the rocks. "Happy trails."

He hustles back to her. "You alright? Didn't bite you?"

She nods but it's hesitant as she stands up. "I think so..."

Walt walks right over kneels down pulling the gloves and hat off. "Sorry Rae. "Think so" ain't a chance I'm willing to take."

He grabs her legs and pulls her boots off and starts checking them one by one. Running his hands over them. Looking for puncture marks or swelling. He knows in the back of his mind that it's a bit inappropriate but that kind of concern don't amount to a hill of beans right now.

He looks up into her eyes. "I don't see any marks or feel any swelling. Any pain?"

She watches and feels as he touches everything, from her tiniest toes to the very top of her hip. He's gentle but firm. He's so close to touching her inappropriately. A fings breadth from her butt and groin... but the concern in his eyes as he examines her intently and then asks after pain clearly evident.

It doesn't hurt and as her fear washes away the endorphins and adrenaline are kicking in. It's starting to feel really good as he double checks everything! His strong hands stroking her sweetly. Tenderly caressed her. He looks up at her again. His handsome face fulĺ of concernfor her.

"Still no pain?" Walt asks her and when she shakes her head no. He relaxes.

He's still holding her by the hips as she watches him bow his head. And lean forward. He's a big man and he'd had to crouch down so low to check. The top of his head against her stomach. "Thank god." She hears him say. He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. It tickles across her mound and thighs. Almost like he's blowing her a hot kiss to her sex. She doesn't know why but she's running her fingers through his hair. It's surprisingly fine and soft. Her enhanced ears can hear his heartbeating very fast. It feels like hers is too.

There's that feeling again like last time creeping up on her. She feels flushed. Like she could lose control. She feels excited. Lose control with him. Maybe that wouldn't be so bad...

But then he's laughing and picks his head back up and hugs her. "I'm so glad you're safe, Rae!" Her heart skips a beat and another feeling washes over her. It's just as powerful, if not more so, but it's safety, comfort and affection. His relief and happiness is genuine.

Walt pulls back. "Sorry for touching you. If you'd been bit at your size by one that big it could have been bad. But I could have an medical team here and you on base easily a dozen times. But it gets more and more painful and I didn't want that for you! I'd have had to use the kit in the truck to slow it down... you sure you're ok?"

Rachel is feeling very flushed and aroused but also deeply moved. He really cared and had feelings about them all. Cared and had feelings about her! His top priority was taking care of them. Taking care of her! He'd likely do anything for them. Anything for her!

He had a big heart. Big enough to love them all. To love her. And she... stroked his face and smiled. She said," Let's go... fear had ne clench it up but I still have to use the bathroom don't forget." She winked.

He nodded and grinned. "Right. Your wish is my command!"

Walt opened the passenger side door for her again and helped her in like a gentleman. Then climbing into the drivers side took off headed for the base as fast as he reasonably could.

She looked at his face... she felt she could grow to be very fond of it and him.
