Chapter 11: New Titans part 1

Zambie: I wish I didn't have to do this but sometimes things happen. Second to last chapter of this book.

John P.O.V.

I looked over at my mother 29 with a ten-year-old kid. It must be hard for her to function like this. She had this thing with a T on it that she looked at every so often sighing before putting it back down. 

"John time for school!" Dad yelled from downstairs. It was Career day today but I didn't want to bother either of my parents because they were both always so busy. Mom runs Wayne Industries in the California area and Dad is the lead forensic scientist for the JCPD. 

I ran down the stairs and saw mom in a blue blouse and black jeans in the kitchen looking at a crumpled up paper.

"John would you like to explain why I found the letter advertising Career day in the trash?" mom asked hands on her hips walking over to me with her bare feet slapping the ground not in anger but in disappointment.

"You guys are always so busy and I didn't want to guilt you into it like I'm doing right now I'm sorry I'll just go back upstairs," I said really fast but dad stood behind me as mom picked up the phone calling someone.

"Hey, Bill I won't be able to come in today John has career day today... you'll cover my meeting with Bruce today too aw thank you... of course... I'll see you tomorrow Bill," mom said smiling before tossing the phone over to dad.

"Hey, Jocie... yeah no I can't come in today... son has career day today you know how important that is... yup I'll be in tomorrow... thank you Jocie you're the best," dad said before tossing the phone back to mom.

"That wasn't too hard was it Wally?" mom said talking to dad behind me.

"No, in fact, that felt great," dad said lacing up his shoes. Mom walked over to the door sliding into her high heels. "Let's go kiddo," dad said pushing to the car.

We arrived at school and adults were standing everywhere.

"Oh my goodness, it's a real live Wayne!" one woman shouted running over as mom rolled her eyes pulling dad and me to the school.

We walked into my classroom where I sat down with some of my friends. Colin from two grades above was walking down the hall with his friends and looked in at my mom. My mom always got weird compliments or comments from guys and it makes dad really mad. She looked out and saw Colin, Jaime, and Terra in the hallway shooing them along like she knew them.

"Alright next up we have the West family," my teacher said motioning my parents to the front of the room.

"Hi we're John's parents, I'm Rochelle West-Grayson-Wayne and this is my husband Wallace West but you guys can just call us Dixie and Wally," my mom said throwing on what dad called her people charm. "I currently run the Wayne Industries firm in the California region," mom said before looking at dad.

"And I run the forensics department of the Jump City Police Department. If you like science then my job is perfect for you guys to look into," dad said looking at mom.

"And if you like talking to all kinds of people and are super organized then my job would be perfect for you," mom said finishing up.

"Anyone have any questions?" dad asked looking around. Jermy's mom raised her hand.

"Mine is for Dixie, how old are you are you old enough to be a mother?" she asked making mom straighten up taller than before.

"I am twenty-nine years old and I am perfectly capable of taking care of my child thank you very much," mom said walking back over to my desk.

"What about you Mr. West? How old are you?" another lady asked.

"I'm thirty-one and would appreciate you not asked useless questions that can be answered by using your eyes to see how much we care for our son," dad said before motioning to the door. We all walked out as other mothers started asking other questions.

We ran into the kids from earlier again.

"Yo Ms. Grayson are you okay?" Colin asked confused about what happened.

"John I have something I have to show you, come on kids let's go," mom said as Colin and I walked into the car and sat in the back.

"Mom where are we going?" I asked looking out the window.

"You'll see," she said and we pulled up to building in the shape of a T.
