Chapter 1 - Discovering Caelum

**After the Skirmish**

The smoke gradually dissipated around Jump City's central plaza, revealing the Teen Titans in their familiar positions. Robin stood tall at the heart of it all, his staff glowing faintly. Nearby, Cyborg was indulging in a snack of fries, his source of battle energy. Starfire was busily using her green energy to clear away debris, while Raven hovered casually with her arms crossed. Beast Boy, panting slightly from his exertions, shifted from a turtle back to his human form, his hair dusted in grime.

"That was the easiest battle ever," Beast Boy exclaimed joyfully, giving Cyborg a playful nudge.

Cyborg, not missing a beat, replied, "Yeah, and you were a real big help, Garfield," popping another fry into his mouth.

Robin, shaking his head with a hint of exasperation, spoke into the discreet mic on his belt, "Titans, come in. The plaza is secure—prepare for extraction."

As the team began to relax, the unexpected sound of a baby's cry wafted through the air.

Perking up at the sound, Beast Boy asked, "A baby? Here?"

Starfire's eyes lit up with excitement. "Oh! Are we to find a baby? How delightful!"

Raven showed a hint of irritation. "Where is that coming from?"

Following the cry, they made their way to the edge of the rubble and found an overturned stroller. Inside was a plump, unclothed baby wrapped in what appeared to be glowing dust, looking up at them with wide, curious eyes.

**Meeting Caelum**

Starfire let out a squeal of delight, while Raven rolled her eyes but floated forward.

"Babies don't just… appear on battlefields," Raven pointed out dryly.

Robin crouched down to examine the child more closely. "Is he hurt?"

Cyborg conducted a quick scan, the device beeping softly as it processed data. "He's healthy—and a bit unusual. He's showing two energy signatures: one marked 'Wrath' and the other 'Kindness.'"

Beast Boy picked the baby up, and Caelum responded by smiling at him, turning Beast Boy's expression to one of utter adoration. "Oh no—I'm melting," he said, his eyes twinkling.

Robin chuckled. "Nice reaction, Beast Boy."

Starfire extended her hand towards Caelum. "Hello, little one."

Caelum grasped her finger and giggled, making Starfire's glow brighten as she whispered, "Friend," and gently hugged him, causing Raven's typically stern expression to soften.

**Team Consultation – Plaza**

Gathered in a circle, Caelum nestled comfortably in Beast Boy's arms, munching on a fry that had been generously shared with him.

Robin spoke with authority, "We can't just leave him here. He's... not technically ours."

Cyborg shrugged slightly. "We can't simply hand him over to a daycare. He's unusual."

Starfire floated dreamily. "Maybe he is a lost traveler from another star system?"

Beast Boy patted Caelum's head affectionately. "He's adorable. I dibs being his superhero big brother!"

Raven raised an eyebrow skeptically, "Superhero family? We barely manage to get along."

"Well," Beast Boy nudged Raven slyly, "we eventually do. Isn't that right, Raven?"

Raven couldn't help but let a small smile creep onto her lips. "On occasion."

They exchanged glances and nodded, silently agreeing on their new responsibility.

**Back at Titans Tower – Nursery**

In the nursery, Cyborg adjusted several sensors around Caelum's crib. "Detected two power signatures—Wrath and Kindness. He's... in balance."

Starfire cooed some cheerful nonsense ("Fizzy balloon!"), causing Caelum to laugh heartily, filling the room with joy.

Beast Boy played peek-a-boo enthusiastically. "I'm the fun one! I get all the laughs!"

Raven handed Caelum a small comfort toy. When he touched it, a gentle glow pulsed brighter, prompting Raven to say in surprise, "He just… comforted me?"

Cyborg gave Beast Boy a high-five. "See? His powers are already influencing us."

Robin looked upon the scene with a soft smile. "Welcome to the Titans family, Caelum."
