A/N: Why, hello! Yep, I am introducing yet another in-progress story! I guess as one dies another must come. And also yep, this one has to do with kids as well! Yay! But you must know, in order to complete my cliché portfolio, I must have a "their kids come from the future!" story. So here we are. And I decided to introduce a whole new team of kiddies! Aren't you just so lucky? Enjoy, homies!
It was like any normal day in Jump City. Or as normal as it could be with people like us wandering around. We had the video game obsessed half-robot, the naïve and sometimes rather annoying she-alien, the weird and with a questionable sexual orientation (a little too much of a Slade obsession if you know what I mean) mask-clad leader, and of course the annoying pointy eared elf with his "threatening" sharp fang. And lastly, we had me; the sarcastic and constantly annoyed by a certain green grass stain purple haired half-demon. What a team.
On this particular day, the team, also known as the "Teen Titans" were sitting in our living- no, common roo- or is it the kitchen? Well, we were sitting in that room where we always are. Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing a video game, as always, Robin and Starfire were engrossed in conversation, as always, and I was reading. As always. Nothing was different. Except for one thing. An unfamiliar scream, a shrill one not unlike that of a small girl, echoed throughout the tower along with a loud cry of "Oops!"
The five of us all took but a minute to stare at each other before we dashed towards the sound. Well, technically, the boys dashed and Starfire and I flew. But whatever. Anyway, what we found was not something we had expected. Actually, we did find what we expected: two little girls. But there was a little added surprise. They looked like Beast Boy and I.
"Hi!" said one of them, "I'm Kairi!"
Kairi had purple hair, like mine, but it was put up in pigtails with green ribbons. Her sparkling eyes, which were currently full of excitement, were not a shade off of my own lavender ones. Her skin was mine as well, except for the tiniest of a green tint. She was wearing a casual pink dress, and I could hardly resist shuddering considering this girl's striking resemblance to me and yet her completely out of character for me wardrobe pick.
"And this is my twin sister, Cora."
Cora, on the other hand, was wearing nothing as extravagant even as the simple dress. She had on a wrinkled T-Shirt (it just happened to be a Teen Titans shirt) and little jean shorts. Her hair (green like Beast Boy's- same with the skin) was down and hung just past her shoulders. I noticed that she was a lot shyer than her twin and a lot less girly as well.
"We're six!"
exclaimed Kairi happily, making a point to show the teens six
fingers, "And just so you know, my name is spelled K-A-I-R-I not
K-Y-R-I-E! I don't like it when people misspell it that way. And
Cora's name is spelled with a C, not a K. 'Cause mommy says she
doesn't like giving twins names that start with the same letter for
some reason. I dunno why. I think naming twins Bob and Bobbette would
be totally cute, don't you? Assuming they were a boy and a girl.
Well, maybe if they were both boys but I don't think little
Bobbette would like his mommy very much."
I raised an eyebrow at
the strange little girl but Beast Boy didn't seem to be really
listening. He was staring curiously at the little girl.
"You two are really twins?" he asked, frowning.
"Yep!" shouted Kairi excitedly.
"Not just best friends or something like that?"
"Nope!"
"But if you look like Rae and she looks like me, than how can you be-"
It had taken a moment, but the realization finally dawned on both of us. We jerked our heads to stare at each other quickly and then just as quickly jerked our heads right back away, our faces erupting in blushes as our friends erupted in laughter.
"You two get married!" exclaimed Cyborg through his fit of laughter.
"And you have twins!" finished Robin so kindly.
Kairi looked up to them and then to me.
"Mommy?" she asked softly. At first I had no intention of answering as I didn't understand that she was talking to me. But when I felt a nudge in the stomach from Beast Boy, my apparent future husband (I shuddered at the thought), I realized that she was talking to me.
"What is it, err- dear?"
"Well, I kinda know how me and Cora got here."
My eyes widened as I looked at Beast Boy.
"How are you here, Kairi?"
"Well, me and Cora were kinda sorta playing in yours and daddy's room-"
"Hey!" piped up Cora, speaking for the first time, "You were playing in there, not me! You're the one who always gets in trouble!"
"Okay, okay," said Kairi, "I was playing in your room. And I kinda found this."
She put out her hand and I gasped at what she was holding. I took it quickly from her hands.
"Oh my God! You were playing with this? And where the hell did I get it anyway?"
"What is it, Rae?" asked Beast Boy inquisitively.
"It's an ancient Azarathian time stone! It can allow you to travel through time!"
Everyone but the two
young girls and myself jumped back.
"Don't worry," I said,
bring my voice to a softer tone, "It can only be used once."
"Well, anyway, I called Cora in and before I know it we're here!"
We all looked at each other, confused. How exactly were we supposed to return the two little girls to their time? We were only super-high-tech and incredibly smart superheroes, after all.
"Hey," said Kairi, looking at Cora, "Look, little sis! Look at how young Uncle Robbie and Aunt Star look!"
"If you're twins, how can one be littler?" asked Cyborg, "And what about me?"
"I was born 2 minutes after her," scowled little Cora in a rather Raven-like fashion, "And I believe she pointed them out because it is almost physically impossible for you, in your current status, to show any signs of aging in such a short period of time."
I couldn't help thinking that the kid was definitely very smart. Trained by me and not her father, no doubt. I shook the thought from my head.
"And because they're married!" shrieked Kairi, laughing.
It was now Beast Boy and my turn to laugh. I didn't laugh, of course. I would never stoop to the level of immaturity to laugh at two of my friends getting married. Especially if I knew it would happen all along. "Fortunately", Beast Boy seemed to have enough laughter (and immaturity) for both of us. He was doubled over on the ground in laughter. I didn't see what was so funny.
"Aw, come on, B. Everyone knows they were gonna get together! Now, you and Raven, that's another story."
Beast Boy immediately stopped laughing and flushed red. I too felt my cheeks burn brightly but tried to cover it up with my famous "You're so immature and I couldn't care less" eye roll and a threatening glare at Cyborg. He shut up. That eye roll is flawless.
"Err-" said Beast Boy, breaking the "famous after eye roll silence" that came with the "famous eye roll, "Let's go into the common room and figure this out, ey girls?"
He grinned sheepishly at me and our future daughters as he held out his arms and picked up Cora. She looked quite delighted at the attention. Kairi gave me an almost pleading look. Even if I tried, I couldn't resist the girl's adorable fluttering eyelashes. She was such her father's daughter. But I did give birth to this girl, even if it was in the future, so I picked her up and placed her on my hip. Happy at my defeat, she swung her arms around my neck and smiled happily as I carried her into the common room thing. Beast Boy had placed Cora in his lap so I reluctantly did the same thing with Kairi.
"Okay, girls, why don't you tell us all about our future family?" proposed Beast Boy, obviously very excited at the prospect of knowing his future.
"Well-"started Kairi, looking just as excited as her dad at the prospect of telling him his future.
"No!" shouted Cora, interrupting Kairi abruptly. "Kai, don't you realize what you're doing?"
"Nope!" replied Kairi uncaringly.
"If you tell them any more than they already know, you can possibly disrupt the ways of the future."
"Aw, shove it, Cor!"
Beast Boy laughed at the language of the six year old.
"Anyway, mommy," said the girl, "I'll tell you everything. You and dad got married about… daddy, what's eleven minus six?"
"Err… six?"
"Five." I corrected him, rolling my eyes. He shut up. Magic, I tell you!
"Kay. Well, you guys get married five years from now."
"I'll be… hmm… twenty then. And you'll be twenty-one, Rae."
I nodded.
"Me, Kairi Anne Logan, and Cor, Cora Morgan Logan, were born exactly 10 months after your wedding on June 9th."
I couldn't help but smile at Beast Boy. He smiled back even more widely.
"1 year later, on July 24th, Robin and Starfire's daughter Jenna was born. Everyone was shocked 'cause they were all sure she was gonna be a boy. But you guys were just as happy with a little girl."
Robin and Starfire
smiled fondly at each other, not quite as surprised, shocked, or
mildly disgusted as Beast Boy and myself.
"After that came Mark,
our little brother. He's three right now. Then Lily, your second
daughter, Uncle Rob and Auntie Star. They were both born within a
week of each other. And the newest are baby Rachel, whose middle name
is Kori after you, Auntie, and Ben who is your baby boy."
"Wow," I mumbled, looking to Beast Boy, "Four kids…"
He looked back at me and we weren't sure what to say. Seriously, how many people learn when they're fifteen or sixteen that in twelve years they'll have four kids with someone they'd never even thought of in a romantic way?
"Kairi! I think you made a big mistake in telling them that! For all you know we could never be born because you mess up something in the threads of time!"
"You are such a sissy, Cora! I can hardly believe that we're twins sometimes!
The little green girl looked at her sister for a split second before bursting into tears. Beast Boy's eyes widened as he tried to calm his future daughter down.
Kairi rolled her eyes at his attempt and climbed out of my lap over to Beast Boy and her sister.
"Cor, calm down. You know I didn't mean it."
Cora wiped her eyes and sniffled.
"You didn't?" she asked sadly.
"No, Cor, 'course not."
Cora sniffled again and
threw her arms around Kairi in a hug. Kairi hugged her back, smiling
at her dad over Cora's shoulder.
The two girls decided to switch
parents as their hug came to an end. I felt Cora bury her teary eyed
face into my shoulder.
"Mommy, Kai made fun of me," she whimpered softly.
"I know, honey," I said, patting her back. I could already see that Cora was exactly like me (the passive, quiet one) and Kairi was exactly like Beast Boy (the outgoing, outrageous one). I guess looks can be deceiving.
A/N: That's the end of the first chapter. I hope you liked it. This time I didn't even change from first to third person in the middle of the story (still mad at myself for that)! I tried to make it be from Rae's point of view, but different, almost like a diary type thing, Did you get that? Anyway, I'll try to write more soon, hopefully. And just because I'm so darn kind, I'll give you some review topic ideas incase you can't think of anything to write.
Tell me what you think of the names!
What's your favorite scene/line?
Was it funny?
Were the characters in character?
Do you enjoy the irony of the twins?
Any suggestions to make the story better?
Thanks for your time and please review!
