Please be nice. This is my first fan fiction, so I hope everyone likes it. Now lets get this show on the road!

Prologue
The girl stood alone in front of the condescending tower looming over her head. Her crimson hair was neatly tucked into her blood red hood, while her hazel eyes were covered by a translucent mask.She was wearing a cheery kimono dress that stopped right above the knee and a pair of tan colored combat boots that came up to her knee. The interesting thing was that slung around her back was a modest bow and a couple dozen arrows.
The girl had her hip cocked andher arms crossed. She tapped her foot impatiently, as if she were waiting for someone.
"Alright, what gives! I've been waiting here for about an hour and nobody has let me in," she yelled.
"Just hold out your communicator Lian," a monotone voice croaked. "It's not that hard."
The girl now known as Lian snapped her head around worriedly. She crouched down with her eyes narrowed and looked both ways surveying the rocky landscape. No one was there.
"Who goes there. Why are you talking to me and where did you come. I swear Joey if you're inside my mind again"
"Lian it's the intercom." the same voice interrupted. Its tone dripped of amusement.
"Oh"
Lian quickly dug through her kimono pockets hoping to find her communicator. She was first presented with a Swiss army knife, then a bottle cap, then a piece of gum which she popped into her mouth. Finally, after having gone through all the contents of her pocket she had a small epiphany. Almost as if the light bulb itself appeared above her head she stuck her hand into her left boot and came back with a round yellow object with a black T in the middle.
She then opened it up and showed it to the doors of the tower. The doors slowly analyzed the communicator and a mechanical arm took upon further inspection.
"Name: Lian Harper. Codename: Red Hood. City: Metropolis. Generation: 4th.
Relation: teammate" the arm droned on.
The doors slowly opened letting in all the cold winter air along with Lian. Lian herself stretched her arms out and took a deep breath. She exhaled slightly then proceeded to drop all her arrows and her bow on the satin floor.
"It's like the home away from home isn't it," a rough voice said.
Lian just about jumped out of her own skin hearing another person in the room and turned around. A Cheshire grin grew on her face (ironic) as she started running towards the figure and gave him a comforting hug.
"Ceridian…! I mean Jeremy! I haven't seen you in forever. How are you? How are the foster parents? I mean it's good to see you," she said blushing furiously.
"It's all good" he replied awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. " Come on the others are in the Ops room."
She nodded lightly and followed his lead as they made they're way through the maze of rooms. The walk to the Ops room was a silent one and to anyone else it would have seemed normal but to their friends it seemed to have an uncomfortable tint to it.
As they entered the sounds of chatting, meditating, and arguing could be heard loud and clear.
"Tofu"
"Meat"
"Tofu"
"Meat!"
"Tof…
" If either of you want to see another day you're going to shut up and sit down," a calm yet serious voice uttered.
Soon everyone was seated and all was quiet. They all looked from one person to another in complete utter silence.
"Well as fun as it is staring at each other I'd like to enjoy my tofu" said Elle, a generally happy changeling with a toothy grin and a personality similar to her father's.
"sit," said her brother Joey who was a telepath with powers and a personality freakishly like his own mother.
Then as Joey and Elle started arguing, so did everyone else. This involved an Atlantian, a speedster, an archer (Lian), a telepath, a changeling, and a human electron. This was not a good mix. The arguments progressed from verbal to physical into an all out war. All except one was arguing. Of course this one person was non other than Marriand'r Luiann Grayson, secretly leader of the 4th generation Teen Titans as Nightstar and Tamerainian hybrid . Mar'i Grayson to most people.
"Silence," she screamed at the top of her lungs.
Everyone put a pause to their bickering and stared at Mar'i. She stared back at them disappointedly as she shook her head.
"We all know what we came here for, so lets get started….Wasp, you're up," she said solemnly.
A boy who was about 16 walked up. He had a mechanics helmet that resembled a wasp's head and a black and yellow muscle shirt with black spandex pants that had two identical stingers in the back pockets. He brought with him what looked to be a clicker and pressed it rapidly. As he was pressing it a giant screen popped out of nowhere and started scanning the area.
"As you can see, the time machine virus mechanism is scanning our DNA to make sure we don't alter time too badly. Now as you all no I'm second in command and the mechanics operator of this generations Teen Titans, but I'm not the only one. Seeing the predicament we're in one of us has to go back in time to warn the Titans of the past about what is to come," he pressed on. " If we don't more cities will fall under SMD rule and all hybrid, alien, what's left of atlantian, and gifted humans will cease to exist."
"The question is who's going," Mar'i. explained "I'll go if nobody volunteers, but if you want to go speak now."
"And forever hold your peace," Impulse chimed in. Everyone glared at him except Elle who just snickered. "What, it just seemed natural."
"Now is not the time Impulse," muttered Ceridian.
"I'll go," Lian spoke.
All heads turned. Not a voice filled the room. No one dared fill the silence, except of course, Elle.
" Well when are you going to leave then." Joey elbowed Elle in the shoulder.
"Ow," Elle said rubbing her arm.
"You shouldn't ask that," he explained in his signature monotone voice.
" I'm leaving today like we've talked about and that's final.
Wasp pressed another button on his clicker and the time machine approached the group. It seemed like something out of a science fiction movie. Minus the ominous smoke. Lian stepped before it and lifted her chin to meet the device face to face. Before she stepped in Mar'i came running up to Lian with her bow and arrows.
"You might not want to forget these," she joked. Then her tone went serious. "Don't forget that you not only have to warn the Titans you have to bring back the four we talked about so they can help. They are the ones that are most likely to understand our situation, so don't bring anyone else," She paused, putting her hand to her chin. "Oh! And you can't tell them any secret identities of the future Titans. Terry and Damian have agreed to put theirs at risk, but only because they're not part of the Teen Titans." she finished.
She gave Lian a comforting smile and then took her place with the others. They all gave their own farewells. As Lian took one last look at her team they all gave her a small wave goodbye. Then she looked back to the time machine and stepped in. She knew it was dangerous, but what she didn't know was the adventure awaiting her.
Then she disappeared into the unknown.
Cliffhanger isn't it. If not oh well. I really hoped you enjoyed the first chapter. It's going to get better and gain more plot as it goes along. Next chapter is going to be character descriptions of the future characters…..not necessarily Teen Titans, but they're part of the plot. Please don' t hate me or the story
