Silver opened the door to his house, he lets out a small sigh as he saw Shadow was just smoking watching TV, not care in the world...he didn't even acknowledge that his daughter was gone. He just walked upstairs and started to pack up some of things for Raven, he only scoffs at all the clothes Sally had bought for her daughter, stuff that was to revealing...something that Sally would wear for high school, black fishing net leggings, cropped tops, shorts, short skirts...he just throws them all out and just packed the dark purple silk pajamas, as well as a normal plaid skirt, some socks, and a long-sleeve t-shirt.

"What are you doing?" Mephiles asked.

Silver took a deep breath, before he spoke "Sonic...agreed to be Raven's guardian...I told he didn't have to do that but"

"Since he's Shaundre's Mother, that would make him Raven's mother cause of her being Shaundre's half sister" Mephiles interrupted.

Silver nodded, as he had Raven's school bag. "I just dunno who to trust more?...strangers that could either be parents, or ones that could be much worst than Sally and Shadow, that already doesn't care that their own Daughter is gone"

Mephiles folded his arms, as he had to stop and think, custody battles...can take months, or even years, but it mostly comes down to social services, they have a Social Service Representative come down to observe both parents before they can agree on who is the better parent for the child, knowing his son...he'll do anything in power to get what he wanted, even if it means to make Sonic look bad.

"It's gonna be tricky...but considering that this has gone on for five years, I don't have a choice but to call Social" Mephiles said. Silver's eyes widen before his ears tilted back, he knew it was the only way for Raven to be put into a good home, whether that be with Sonic, or this one with Parents who treated her like garbage. "I'll let Sonic know...because of what happened five years ago, he has very weak heart"

"I'm aware of that...but he has very close ties with the Queen of Sol, so I don't have a doubt that he wouldn't lose this battle" Mephiles admits, he places his hand on his hip "But We have to see how Raven is holding up"

Silver nodded as he zips up the bigger bag with the clothes, and Raven's toothbrush.

On drive to Sonic's place, he had a lot to think about...why didn't he call Social Services when the first signs of child neglect was there?...He was really starting to go back to his roots when he was still in high school, The whole not speaking up kind of thing, he just mentally growls to himself as he was actually starting to hate the fact that he was starting to fear the same situation that he was feared when he was in high school, that being his own brother.

He pulled up to the drive way of the house, he really can't let Raven down...like he did with Sonic. He knocks on the door. There was some struggling sounds before the doorknob was twisted and forced opened. "Hewwo Uncle Silwer!" Shaundre greeted, still in his squirtle theme t-shirt, that had the white underbelly printed on the front and the shell color and pattern printed on the back, with a tail, and a hood with the Pokémon's face on it, as well as plain Pokémon theme pants that were big on him, but he didn't mind it.

Sonic wasn't really picky with what Shaundre wore, so whenever it came to clothes shopping he always let Shaundre pick out the clothes he wanted, as long as it wasn't expensive...sure the family is rich cause of Scourge's background, but the hedgehog never really like using his husband's money, for expensive things like that, since he was fine with cheep things.

But as soon as he walked into the house his nose got whiff of something that smelt good, he walked into the kitchen where the small was coming from, Shaundre right behind him, before he climbed into his sit that was right next to Raven. Who had sparkled in had sparkles in her crimson eyes.

"Hey Silver" Scourge greeted, Silver blinked as he looked shocked. "Wait...you can cook?"

"Just because I grew up in a mansion...doesn't mean anything" Scourge said rolling his eyes.

"Sorry...I just...You know," Silver said as he placed the backpacks down with Raven stuff.

Scourge was cooking the two kids french toast, with some pineapple slices embedded into the bread to give the bread a boost of flavor, sweetness...has for his husband well he was just giving Starfire a bath as well as himself.

"So...Um..." Silver started as he didn't know the right words to say about Raven staying with Sonic and Scourge.

"I'm fine with the decision, Silver" Scourge spoke up, as he sprinkles the powder sugar onto the french toast, after plating the bread with forks, and just to help lower the sugar intake, he gave two kids some homemade banana bread.

"R-Really?" Silver said.

Scourge shrugs "It's not really my place to say...Sure Shaundre and Raven have separate Mothers, but Sonic is just her mother much like Sally is to Shaundre" He admits.

"About that...I talked to Mephiles about it, and he said that Social Services will have to get involved." Silver explained.

"I'm aware, Rouge said the same thing when Sonic spoke with her, I don't mind them having a representative come and monitor us, it well just put much work on me, cause of Sonic's trauma" Scourge admits.

Silver really hadn't thought of that, though he is very unaware of kind of psychological issues the blue hedgehog has...since he really hadn't been around Sonic that long, all that he knew was that he was on a lot of medication for his psychological conditions.

"I'm sure that with your help he'll be able to pull it off" Silver smiled. "Speaking of Sonic, where is he?"

"Giving Star a bath" Scourge responded.

Silver nodded and made his way to the master bedroom.

Raven was happily eating the food, she was kind of thankful that she wasn't allergic to anything cause this was most delicious thing that she had eaten, based on the lunch that she had the other day from Shaundre was also delicious. She was kind of afraid to ask for more, seeing that Scourge had already made himself two servings. "Do you need something Raven?"

"C-can I...I have more..." She asked.

She rarely ate, mostly because Sally and Shadow forget about her and make food for themselves or order for the both of them, so she was always missing out on lunch, a single bowl of cereal wasn't enough for a growing chipmunk like herself, and dinner was sometimes the same with lunch, unless Mephiles was cooking which was rarely cause he was always working.

"Of course, Ray" Scourge said as he took the toast from his plate and placing it onto hers, he can always make another one.

"Ray?" Raven asked.

"Yeah...Like a Nickname, like mine, I think it's fitting for you Waven" Shaundre said his tail wagging as he looked at the chipmunk.

A nickname...she never gotten on before, she kind of liked it. It was her own nickname that made her name seem special. She just started to each her breakfast.

Sonic had gotten Starfire dressed, after drying her off and gently brushing her quills, the hoglet was a little afraid at first, but was easily distracted by noisy toys like the rubber duck toy that squeaks. The hoglet was wearing a pale pink dress with a big white bow on her hip, with white socks on her paws.

"Sonic? Can I come in?" Silver called out from the other side of the door, Sonic clips the pacifier onto the hoglets dress collar. "I-in a minute..." he responded as he started to get dress himself. He grabs Scourge's leather jacket, that was hanging on the closet door a clean red t-shirt with the Flash logo printed onto it, and clean baggy pants. "O-Okay you can c-come in"

Silver opened the door, "I brought the clothes...but Ms. Perfect, bought scandalous clothes for Raven, so I had to only pick her Pajamas, and one other outfit that was something that Sally would wear when she was in high-school"

Sonic shook his head "I-I don't m-mind t-taking her to c-clothes shopping" he added as he takes the bags.

"I guess your mom shared the information that I got from my Dad" Silver stated. The azure male nodded as he scoops up Starfire into his arms, and started walking out of the master bedroom, putting the bags in the guest room...the space was a little to big for the chipmunk, but it was gonna have to do until they get another twin bed to fit into Shaundre's room for Raven.

"B-But, W-with S-Scourge I'm s-sure I'll be okay" Sonic smiled, as he started to walk downstairs.

"I'm sure Shadow and Sally, are gonna be the same, cause you know how they are" Silver said as he lets out a small sigh "But My Dad is holding off on calling Social, so that Raven could get used to her environment first"

"U-understandable" Sonic smiled.

"...Bubba..." Starfire whimpered seeing Shaundre in the play room with Raven, she can speak...just only knows how to call for her brother, and her parents, unlike Shaundre she isn't a very talkative hoglet. "Y-you want to p-play with B-Bubba?"

Starfire whimpers and reaches down, "S-Shaundre...S-Star would like to p-play with you two"

Shaundre got up and walked over to the gate, "Okay Mommy" the small hedgehog took his sibling into his arms and hurried back over to Raven, to show her how to play with Starfire.
