Teen Titans-Next Generation

A Teen Titans Fanfic

Based on the future

Chapter 1: Darius Roth- Crow

It was a cold autumn night on November 5th 2030, fireworks erupted into the sky, some leaving a noise as they came up, some silent but colourful. Rays of colour spurting out, each different from the one before and after it. People cheered at the ray of colours, all except for one, who covered his lower face with a tight crimson scarf, a long black trenchcoat going down to his knees. This was not a pleasant memorial for him. It was the day, twelve years ago, his father left him and his mother, Rachel Roth. Otherwise known as Raven.

He was born 28th March 2017 at 10 o'clock in the morning. He was now thirteen and going through puberty. He had long black hair that flowed down his neck and over his left eye, of which underneath had a small scar. He had silvery peach skin.

"Oi, guys, look who the cat dragged in!" a tall, normal looking boy with short blonde hair shouted as he pointed towards Raven's son.

"Ah yes, if it isn't Darius Roth, the emo" a stocky taller boy declared, as he and the other boy, plus two others, waltzed over towards Raven's son, Darius.

Darius tightened his fists and turned towards them with a glare. "What do you want?" he asked impatiently "I'm busy."

"Doing what? Thinking of how much of a loser you are?" the blonde boy laughed.

"If you're going to insult me, at least come up with good insults" Darius said, his teeth tight together in anger.

"Shut up you diickheaded emotastic loser" the stocky one said.

Darius sighed and looked at them "If you're clever you'll leave before you die" he said as he drew a sword from in his jacket and his eyes turned fully black.

"Wha-what are you?" the stocky one asked as he and the others started to run.

Once Darius saw them disappear his eyes turned normal again and as he put his swords away he felt the grip of two hands, one on each. Darius growled.

"Didn't you see what I just did, aren't you scared?" Darius asked, gritting his teeth once again.

"I saw it, but it didn't frighten me" the owner of the hands replied, revealed to be male.

"Robin" he said angrily, recognising the voice "what do you want?"

"The usual, watching the city, protecting people from danger" the supposed 'Robin' replied.

"Humph" Darius replied.

"Also, our parents sense upcoming trouble and think a new generation of Titans should be formed."

"And you want me to join?"

"No, they do" he replied "I, personally, think it's a bad idea as your heart isn't in the right place."

"Maybe it's just today isn't a nice day to remember for me"

"Why, are you Catholic?"

"No! Today, twelve years ago, my father left me and my mother"

"Oh" Robin replied.

Robin was the son of Nightwing and Starfire. He had inherited his father's agility and athlete body and skills. He had inherited from his mother, her superhuman strength and the ability to fly. He looked just like his father, he had hair that went to mid neck and had bangs going down the side of his forehead. He had green eyes. He was wearing a crimson mask like his father's old one. He had a red t-shirt with on the left chest a yellow 'R'. He had a yellow utility belt and green tights with yellow boots and gloves. He had a black cape and a yellow baton tied in the back of his utility belt. He was also thirteen but born on 21st December 2016. His real name was Scott Grayson.

"Now get your costume on and let's go meet who our parents have assembled for the new team" Robin told Darius.

"Fine" Darius replied as Robin let go off his arms and started to leave, Darius following.

They walked through the city to the Tower, they walked past numerous shops of which sold all kinds of things. From toys to cigarettes. From phones to books and DVDs. Everything. They soon reached the tower, after the ten minute walk.

As they arrived, they were greeted by a woman with long red hair and green eyes. Koriand'r Grayson. Starfire.

"Hello boys, glad you made it, we've got two other people ready for the team" Starfire told them.

"Only two, not much of team, four, is it?" Darius muttered.

"The very first team was only four and became five" a tall, streamlined, athletic man with a mask said, coming out from the tower and wrapping an arm around Starfire, it was Nightwing.

Darius muttered something but agreed and he and Robin followed them in. Before they went to meet their new teammates, Darius went to quickly change into his own costume.

After two or three minutes he returned in his costume with the same, dull expression. His costume had made the red scarf into a hooded cape like his mother used to wear, going down to his ankles, the hood not on. A black top, a golden belt with two swords tied to it. and black tights and red boots and fingerless gloves. Both the swords had a red hilt and a black scabbard with a dark grey blade.

"What a nice costume" Starfire said, smiling.

"Humph" Darius replied "Let's do this thing already."

"So what will you call yourself?" Nightwing asked.

"Crow" he replied shortly.

The four walked into where Raven and Cyborg were talking to two teenagers around their age. One looked like a teenage werewolf with a wolf face but the body of a human with fur and a tail. His fur was gray. He had a blue, un-buttoned, no sleeved cardigan and a brown string belt with blue baggy trousers.

The other was a girl. The daughter of Firestorm. She had short ginger hair going down to the end of her neck in a ponytail with bangs over her forehead. She had brown eyes and a few freckles beneath. She had a red leather jacket on and tight red jeans. She had a yellow t-shirt beneath. She had a yellow headband as well.

"So this is the team, so who's gonna be leader?" Darius asked in his usual, dull, voice.

"Robin" Nightwing replied.

"Wh-Why do you choose Robin, why not one of the other children, such as my son, Darius, his father was a leader" Raven said, pursing her lips and calming herself from an outburst.

"No, it's because your son, Crow, does not have the leadership skills and is obviously a loner. While Robin has the capability" Nightwing replied 'Maybe he had leadership skills but he was also a traitor and monster, well not literally, but like one.' Nightwing thought to himself over Darius's father.

Raven settled down back on the sofa and nodded, staring at the floor sadly.

A sudden sound echoed through the halls of the tower making the New and Old Titans jump. The sound was like a fire truck or an ambulance or police car, a voice then started saying 'ALERT! ALERT!'

"It appears duty calls for you guys, now of you go" Nightwing said and Robin, the wolf boy and Firestorm's daughter raced for the door. Darius yawned and followed them slowly.
