đ **Titans Tower â Morning**
The dawn crept lazily over Jump City, casting its mellow glow upon the rooftop of Titans Tower. All was serene... too serene.
Suddenlyâ
"WAAAHHHH!!"
The entire structure quivered.
Cyborg fumbled his screwdriver. "Was that an earthquake?"
Beast Boy emerged from his blanket cocoon, hair wildly resembling broccoli stalks. "Nope. More like a babyquake."
Raven, perched at the kitchen counter with a steaming cup of tea, sighed. "Round three today."

đŒ **Caelum's Morning Commotion**
In the playroom, Caelum was wearing a onesie sprinkled with tiny rocket ships, thrashing about like a potato attempting to defy gravity. His face crumpled, tiny fists faintly glowing with red energy.
"WAAHHHH!!"
Starfire floated in carrying a tray. "I have acquired the delightful discs of oats and sugarâthe cookies!"
The wailing ceased instantly.
Caelum paused, sniffled⊠then beamed.
Starfire grinned. "See? He merely needed a peace offering of snacks."

â **Team Briefing with the Little Dynamo**
The Titans gathered in their usual circle in the common room, joined by one very small, very energetic member crawling across the coffee table.
Robin struggled to maintain focus. "Alright, updates: H.I.V.E. may be regrouping, there's a strange rift over the harborâand our little friend here glows red when he's upset."
"Wrath," Raven interjected, gently levitating Caelum into her lap.
Cyborg scrolled through his holo-screen. "I've been analyzing his energy patterns. His abilities spike with his emotions. He's like a mood lamp powered by a nuclear reactor."
Beast Boy chuckled. "So the key is... don't get him upset?"
"I'm serious," Robin warned. "He made the lights flicker last night just because you took the stuffed duck."
Beast Boy gasped. "Hey, that duck was mine first!"
Caelum giggled, clutching the duck happily. A soft, green luminescence surrounded him.
"âŠNow that's Kindness," Cyborg muttered.

đ„ **Snack Time Meltdown**
Later, as Cyborg attempted to feed him apple puree and Raven read beside the crib, mayhem erupted.
Beast Boy sauntered in, munching on a sandwich. "Hey, did anyone eat the last cookie?"
Caelum's eyes widened.
His hand reached for the cookie jar.
Empty.
His gaze focused intently.
Raven glanced up from her book. "Oh no."
The onesie began to glow a fiery red. His hair crackled with tiny sparks.
Thenâ
"WAAAAHHHH!!!"
Suddenlyâ
The lamp shattered.
The couch floated a foot off the ground.
Cyborg's hand disconnected.
"Baby's channeling his Wrath Aura again!" Cyborg shouted, hastening to reattach his limb.
Beast Boy shapeshifted into a bunny, leaping for cover. "It's a snackocalypse!"
Starfire swooped in with an emergency cookie. "A peace offering!"
She placed the sugary treat into Caelum's hand.
Silence ensued.
Caelum sniffed it⊠then giggled.
Everything settled back to normal.

đŹ **Evening Reflections**
That evening, the Titans gathered on the balcony, watching the stars as the little one snoozed snugly with his beloved duck.
"I figured raising a baby would be tough," Beast Boy mused. "But this feels more like raising a baby and a tiny nuclear reactor."
Cyborg laughed. "At least he didn't wipe the TV again."
Starfire smiled. "He brings joyful chaos."
Raven spoke softly, looking at her hands. "He's like me, with intense emotions and unpredictable powers. But he doesn't feel burdensome. It's as if he brings harmony."
Robin nodded, watching over the city. "We don't know whoâor whatâhe truly is. But we're determined to raise him right."

đ **End of Chapter 2 â Cookie Diplomacy**
Though Caelum isn't speaking yet, he's already shaking walls and melting hearts, declaring his first "war" over a missing cookie. It won't be easy raising himâŠ
But in a Tower of misfits, this cosmic child just might be the surprise they desperately needed.
