Chapter 1

It's Paradox

Late at night, the new museum was broken in and the Teen Titans arrived shortly afterwards, they where surprised to find slade-bots for the heist.

Robin: [concerned "This is some sort of trap. Why would Slade rob a museum, this isn't like him to go just for cash."

Then they notes the slade-bots weren't in there usual black in orange, but in black and metallic silver armor, with sliver S emblem on the left side on its chest. Before the titans can do anything, someone else already started to attack with a kick-boxing style to the new Slade-bots. Slade's new robots seem more agile than his original when it started to attack.

Beast-Boy: [joking "New outfits, wonder whats the occasion."

Cyborg: [grining "Geting the butts kicked, thats what."

The slade-bots shot him down through the window to the outside, and so the Titans are able to see the reckless fighter, outside in the streetlights.

The teen had long blond hair, with golden thick fur on his face and body. His blue eyes were being dilated; also he had pointy ears and wore color clothing of pants, shoes, shirt and jacket somewhat similar to Beast-Boy's clothes design, but in black and yellow, also finally he had an odd metal belt around his waist.

The teen woozily stand up and his expression shifted to a fearsome rage, and let out a great roar, as his fur thickened and shined more in the light. He went on an onslaught on the slade-bots.

The Titans were astonished with this transformation and stamina.

Raven: [monotone "He's going to get hurt if he keeps charging like that."

She levitated, ready to use her powers to defend her teammates on the oncoming bouts of lasers by the robots hand held guns.

But the gold-boy come in front of the titans and deflected the incoming lasers that once took him down earlier. It look like a light-show as the lasers deflected off his shiny coated fur, leave him virtually unharmed besides some cinders form his fur, and it did push him back about few feet.

?o?: [ignoring the Titans/ taunting the robots with his rought vocie "Come on, you guy need to try something new to keep up with me." Afterwards he began to tore some of the slade-bots apart.

Robin: [instinctive "Titans GO!"

The Titans came in and fought the slade-bots, but then being separated form their friends in the processes leaving them to fend for themselves.

Most of the titans had a difficultly in holding up against the up-grades of the improved fighting and agility of the slade-bots. If that's not bad enough, the slade-bot seemed to be able to take a beating much better than their old versions, as they just keep coming.

The new teen was able to help in giving the titans a few seconds to adjust for defending to attacking the robots, and getting use to the pattern of their attacks.

The new teen stop his assault,

?o?: [anguish "No, not now."

The teen growled and crouch, ached as he was in pain. Their was click sound, and the teen looked were it came from. Everything seems to be in slow motion now for him, and saw two slade-bot in the air aimed at him as he clench his fist.

He heard another click and an energy charge of their weapons as they slowly descended in his perspective. He felt and heard his heart beat that is gone above his normal rate.

Then it went in normal speed as the lasers were block by a black energy force field. Then he heard a loud crash behind him, which took him by surprise, it was Beast-Boy ramming as a rhino at some slade-bots.

The teen cover his ears as everything got louder; the whispering flow and crashes of Starfire's starbolts, the high frequency of Cyborg's sonic cannon, the boom of Robin's exploding disks, the banging of the slade-bots by Beast-Boy's bashing in animal form and the rapped fire of the robot's lasers buzzing.

As the sound subsided, the teen looked around, and saw all the titans around him, they finished defeating the last slade-bot.

Beast-Boy: [concern "Hey are you OK?"

?o?: [growled "I don't need your help."

Beast-Boy: [sarcasm "Ya, your welcome![whispered to himself "Dude, what's his problem?"

Then the broken slade-bots started to glow and vanish. The Teen Titans turn to see all the robots vanish.

They look back at the new teen, where he went to a far corner of the room, as he grunted in pain while his fur return to his previous form.

Cyborg: [cautious "Whoa, dude are you ok?"

Cyborg nearly stun with teen transformation and of his growling.

?o?: [breathing heavily "Titans... Whether you trust me or not, it don't matter to me… don't asked too many questions... Am not pleasant to be around at the moment."

The teen looking down and trying figure out what to say next.

Raven: [inquisitive "Why's that?"

?o?: [grouchy "If you hadn't notice, I was already in a bad mood and need to take it out on something; if you hadn't guessed, the robots were the lucky targets."

Cyborg: [astonish "Wait, so you did this for kicks?"

?o?:[irritating "yeah. Is that a problem?"

Robin: [distrust "No, but who are you?"

?o?: [keen "Names Paradox, and I came from the future."

…six seconds of silence later…

Paradox: [sarcastic "Aren't where talkative today."

Cyborg: [keen "Usually they say what their here for."

Paradox: [smiled "Well I thought it was obvious. I came for a fight, and I intend to get it."

Beast-Boy: [Surprised "You want to fight us?"

Paradox: [perplexed "What? No! Well I do obviously but latter, I'm here for Slade."

Robin: [Really confused "Whaat? Slade? Ah…"

Robin not really sure what to asked first; the aggressiveness desire of Paradox for combat, or Paradox knowledge of Slade.

Beast-Boy : [inpatient "Dude, come on, just spite it out!"

Beast-Boy just wanted to go home, due to he almost had the stuffing beaten out of him today and not wanting an encore performance.

Paradox had slight twitch in his eye in irritated expression at Beast-Boy's actions, while Robin finally snapped out of his confusion.

Robin: [serious "How do you know Slade, and what you want from him."

Paradox: [irritable "He has been plotting against the world and messing with my head for past six months; well my six months, which is in the future… you get the idea."

Robin: [confounded "What! HE IS IN THE FUTURE!"

Paradox flinch a little at Robins outburst.

Paradox: [scold "Yes! Alive and Well! No need to shout! How about talking somewhere else other than a museum; [normal So what do you say?"

Cyborg: [little cautious " What do you have in mind?"

Paradox: [charismatic "The Titans Tower, this may take awhile to explain, but since you know Slade as well as I, He doesn't waste time to take advantage of any weaknesses in our situation; and besides you do need to know a few thing to prepare what he'll do next." He tried to get their trust or at less get them to listen to him, so he'll be able to finish his objectives.

Though, he is not even a bit eager to explain to them what they need to know, due to he really dose know what to say next.

They all went to Titans Tower, which was enough time for Paradox to think of what to explain to the Titans next. The Titans did kept a close eye on him the whole time.

Raven: [interrogating "Alright, who exactly are you, and if your from the future, how did you get here?"

Paradox: [skeptical "You won't believe me."

Robin: [acts doubtful, speaks with convince "Try us."

Paradox: [attitude "Oh the hell with it." "I'm a Teen Titan."

The Titans eyes widen .

Cyborg: [surprised "Your right. We don't believe you!"

Paradox expression shifted to disappointment, though not unexpected.

Paradox: [drone "Told you so; and unfortunately I have nothing to prove it, so believe it or not."

Beast-Boy: [eagerness "Oh, I know! If you a Titan, then call my communicator."

Paradox put his hand over his ear, then Beast-Boy communicator stared to ring. When Beast-Boy opened it, there was Paradox on a black screen.

Beast-Boy: [a bit shocked "DUDE! How did you do that!?"

Paradox: [normal on the communicator "It's a new high tech communication, similar to the military's prototype; there are nanomachines which go through the bloodstream, which activates by thoughts, which allows to talk like a telepathic, without anybody eavesdropping. "

Cyborg: [very impressed "Whoa."

Beast-boy: [excited "Whoa is right, that so cool, so what else does it do."

Paradox: [irritated "Yah, their is more, but I forgot, all I know is that it works."

Robin: [demanding "You said earlier that you know what Slade is going to do next, is he making havoc in the future, I need more information on what is happening."

Paradox: [concern "Oh, well Slade did sent the slade-bots and himself to this present time…"

Robin: [interrupted in surprise "Wait! Slade from the future is here!"

Paradox: [annoyed "Uh, duh."

Raven: [monotone "But why would Slade come to this time?"

The rest of the titans still having a horror-shock expression on their faces, in the moment for the thought that there are now two Slades in this world, one was bad enough; they still don't know where the present Slade is now.

Paradox: [normal "Well, if I can finished…"

Beast-Boy: [confused "Hey, wouldn't future Slade be old; I mean it not like he's getting younger, ha, isn't he?"

Paradox: [mad "Can I finish!"

Beast-Boy: [intimidated "Yah, sure."

Paradox: [impatient "Slade is here; Well sort of, his not the same as you remember him; apparently his body now is cybernetic…"

Cyborg: [curiously interrupted "Wait! Slade is now a cyborg!"

Paradox: [growled "What part of 'Can I finish' don't you understand?"

Cyborg: [nerves "sorry."

Paradox calmed himself down.

Paradox: [anxious to get things over with "Good. Since Slade's body no longer at its peak in the future as you expect, like Daa, (cough) Beast-Boy said. Slade upgrade with some cybernetics to enhance his ability even better than he ever was before in his history, honestly I don't know if he still human at all, and his full body armor doesn't help me to find him by scent."

Robin didn't look so good, after hearing that Slade is now or will be much better in the future.

Paradox: [continued "How he got here is a little different than the way I know; I guess we went through a portal, which I think is similar to the portal of criminal Warp, which I'm sure you meet."

Starfire: [remembering "Yes, I remember when I travel to the future."

Paradox: [normal "The belt I'm wearing keeps me lock on to this time stream, in case Slade prevents the existence of the future titans."

Cyborg: [inquisitive "But, won't he try that to us, instead of you?" Cyborg stated and begins to panic when Paradox starts to growl.

Paradox: [tick off "Why is so hard to for you to keep quite!"

The Titans getting nerves and took a step away form Paradox's yelling, and ready to strike if Paradox strikes first.

Raven: [quietly "Well, someone got some anger issues."

Paradox: [Claming himself "Well, Cyborg I guess it because he doesn't want to change all of the past. Why, I don't know!" Paradox just wish this chat was already over. [agitated "Why he is here, I don't know. I just know he is here. The belt I'm wearing will keep me form fading away if the past change, that my exist is erase from the future; it will also keep my memory of the future were I came form and not the alter time-line that this present time is creating."

The Titans just nod, except Beast-Boy with a confused expression; not following all of the concepts of time.

Paradox: [stressed "I don't think Slade used the device in the lab to travel to this time, because there was no trail I found to the Time Portal when I chase Slade in the lab."

Robin[inquisitive "Lab?"

Paradox: "The STAR laboratory that research time-travel; the place were I got this belt, then somehow I traveled back in time here with him."

Beast-Boy wave his hand in the air, Paradox put his hand on his forehead and slide down his face and spoke. "OK what is it Beast-Boy."

Paradox seemed uncomfortable irritated by saying Beast-Boy 's name.

Beast-Boy: [revelation "Hey I just thought of something!"

Paradox: [sarcastic "Wow, he thinks too!"

Beast-Boy: [upset "Hey!"

Cyborg and Raven gave a small smirk.

Beast-Boy: [sort of sober "anyways, if you're a Teen Titan, where your team."

Paradox: [bored "In the future. Maybe you haven't paid attention, but I don't even know how I got. Now that you know little bit about the situation, how about you guys give me a room to crash for the night and pick up with our chat tomorrow."

The Titans agreed and went to their own room to let the information sink in and think of questions to ask in the morning.

So, tell me what you think, good , bad. I even take any suggestions for what I could do better or what to add to the story, and I'll credit you, for any of your ideas, big or small, for the story if I use them.
