The Time Warp
Terry McGinnis is what you would call and average high school student to those he knows during the day but at night he is a completely different person you see at night he puts on a mask and becomes the Batman fighting crime with the help of Bruce Wayne the former batman.
Now let's join the story.
Terry is out on a mission but something went wrong one minute he was in Gotham the next thing he knew was he was in Gotham but it wasn't his Gotham not the one he knew what had happened to him and where did that bright light come from he scrambled out of sight to get a better look around and gather his thoughts.
I was chasing a man with a weird look to him he seemed to disappear and then reappear out f no where. His head hurt and he stumbled around for a bit then he saw the Bat mobil but it wasn't his it was older looking to him.
What the….? If this is? Then where is? He was knocked into the wall behind him.
Who are you? And why are you?
You mean in a bat suit Terry interrupted he knew who it was then Knightwing showed his face behind the Bat.
Look you little… again Terry shut him down. Hey look I'm not here to cause problems.
It was obvious he wasn't getting any where with them.
Man you were even stubborn back then he said under his breath. Then he pushed his way out but not after getting bruised up a bit they were tough and his head was still hurting from when he got there and he really didn't want to fight a younger Bruce and a young
Knightwing he pushed the button for his rockets and he sped of into the sky Terry knew this would not be the last time he would run into Batman when he got some where he knew was safe and out of sight he changed his close then started to walk around things were sure different he wondered to himself how far back did he go in time yes it was that obvious to him he had gone back after his encounter his senses were off he has let those two get the better of him and his head was still hurting why did it hurt so much he finally held it closing his eyes then passed out from the pain.
When he woke up it was in a familiar room at Wayne manor was it all a dream then he got out of the bed and looked out the window holding his head. Then the door opened behind him it was an older man in a suit.
Well I see your feeling better if your up and about young man I'll let Master Bruce know your awake he put down the fresh sheets and blankets on a chair nearby then walked out moments later a younger Bruce waked in the room.
I was told that you were awake. The words came out of his mouth so polite man this Bruce was so different from the one he knew or was he? Terry studied him as he was moving around the room. How long was I out came out of Terry's mouth?
Almost three day's now down to business what is your name? He sat in one of the chairs in the room looking at Terry and studying him as Terry answered.
My name is Terry Mr. Wayne.
You don't need to be so informal call me Bruce. He paused for several minutes then it came. So Terry how did you get all those Bruises all over you? You were in pretty bad shape when Alfred and I found you two nights ago oddly it wasn't to far from here?
All Terry could think of was that he some how out of instinct started to walk to the manor.
Then Terry thought about is Back pack. Ah Mr. Wayne where are my things?
They are right next to your bed right there.
The relief on his face was noticed by Bruce. You didn't look through did you? Terry questioned Bruce.
All he did was smile at him. Why would I do that are you hiding something in it I should be concerned about?
No was his reply I just don't like people going through my things that's all.
Well follow me down to the kitchen and get you something to eat. Terry changed his clothes and went down stairs with Bruce to the kitchen while there he met Tim Drake, Barbra who he couldn't believe how gorgeous she was the Barbra he knew well was older and then there was Dick Grayson who he had never met in his time not even once but heard stories now and then.
They all but stared at him as he just looked at his breakfast.
What's wrong never had eggs before? Tim spoke up.
Terry thought about it no he hadn't ever had eggs that he could remember. No why?
Tim's mouth dropped you never had eggs before seriously?
It was odd Tim Drake reminded him of his little brother in a small way.
After breakfast Tim went off to school and the others went off doing there own thing except Barbra she wanted to take him around town but the main factor was to get info out of him they went into a music store where there was a karaoke contest going on this was still around even in his time but it wasn't done all the time like it seemed to be in this time he was drug into to the store by Barbra.
I never get to do this Dick hates it and Bruce doesn't go out much and well Tim is too young.
He was shocked she really wasn't like that Barbra he knew at all she got on the stage with a mic and sang the song she had talent she was good he listened to the words the song she chose and the words puzzled him was she involved with Bruce or Dick? He knew about Bruce and Barbra but did she have feelings for the Knightwing?
He recorded the song she was singing with a small recorder he had with him she then sang another it was slower and mush sadder then she sang one last but beautiful song when she was done she jumped down to Terry pretty cool huh was all she said by the day was over and they made it back he was tired how do girls d it go and go and still they seem to be alright and just keep going he knew she would be going out tonight.
As Terry sat down in the living room Bruce walked in with a grin.
That bad huh Barbra can get a little carried away.
Tell me about it Terry said with a sigh.
So Terry you want to tell me a little about your self or do I have to keep guessing about you?
Well there isn't much to say.
Do you have family Terry?
"Yeah but there not in this time that would go over well" yes but they don't live here was all he said.
Well if you want I can give them a call Terry let me help you. Bruce saw the conflict with in him.
Terry looked at Bruce I don't think that you can help me but thanks any way Terry looked away and down at the floor.
You would be surprised what I can do Terry, Bruce interjected.
Look Bruce… I appreciate the offer but it's only something I can help myself with I hope you understand he got up and went to his room.
There is something about him Bruce. Dick said as he entered the room.
Your right but what could it be? They both looked at Barbra as she walked through the door.
What was all she said as she sat down on the coach?
Did you notice anything about our guest while you were out today? Bruce asked her as he circled behind her.
Well beside the fact that he has your eyes not really oh and he not once complained unlike you two she crossed her arms and closed her eyes.
The two looked at each other.
What do you mean he has my eyes Questioned Bruce?
If you hadn't noticed they have the same color the same hardness at times but at the same time have softness to them it was kind of creepy at times but he's a good kid with a kind heart.
So this kid trust you, you think Barb? Dick pointed out to her.
She looked at him and Bruce. You want me to try and crack him don't you?
The question was still in Bruce's mind the kid had his eyes and Barbra saw what he hadn't why was that he knew the Barbra cared for him but this brought up the question of how much.
Barbra went up stairs and opened the door to Terry's room.
Terry can I come in I heard about your discussion with Bruce and I thought that….
She was cut off by Terry. So Bruce sent you up here to try and get me to tell you everything am I right?
How did he know their plan? She wondered to herself.
Look Terry you can trust us please believe me.
She was sincere and meant it but he didn't want them to know he was the batman they were looking for.
I do believe you Barbra but now isn't the time for me to tell you every thing I will though but not right now. Could I be alone for a while I need to think.
Sure Terry Barbra left with concern he wanted to tell her but what was holding him back she shut the door that night every one went out on patrol leaving Terry to roam around with Alfred watching his every move.
Hey Alfred what's today's date after Alfred told him he got a sick feeling why did that date mean something to him then he thought about it and asked where Tim was.
He went with Master Bruce some where why?
Alfred I'm going to go to my room I don't feel well. Alfred watched him concerned as he struggled up to his room.
Terry hit his bed then looked over at his bag. I have to go maybe I can save him before its too late. He got his suit on and out the window he went. Which side of town did Barbra tell him that Drake was when he went missing then out of the corner of his eye he saw Robin he followed him then he heard the screams of a woman luring Tim down to her Terry sped down to make sure nothing would happen to him this of course attracted the attention of two bats from below and they followed the new batman in town.
Then just how Barbra had told him the woman attacked Tim leaving him unconsious Terry flew down in time to save the young Robin laying down then with his own eyes saw the real Joker the rage was gathered up inside of Terry this monster had caused so much damage to Bruce's family he took the Joker by the neck when the others showed up.
How did you know was all the Joker said before Bruce intervened.
Terry punched the Joker and was about to leave when bat girl stopped him.
Wait!! He stopped and turned around.
Batman picked up Robin and said he had some questions for him.
You know you should be thanking me you have no idea what was going to happen to him Terry hung his head and closed his eyes and clutched his fist. You have no idea. His voice was full of anger. And why you stopped me from taking care of this monster I will never know, you your self would have killed him if you knew what he was going to do to him.
Then a thank you came from Barbra then all Bruce was doing was staring at him.
How did you know came from his mouth?
I am not from this time I am from forty years in the future and I know all of you Bruce, Barbra and I even know Tim the only one I don't know is Dick who is Knightwing.
So then you know us but who are you questioned Batman.
Terry smiled and was about to tell when the Joker was stirring then all he said is that you already know me and took off into the sky.
Batman handed Tim to Barbra then took the Joker into custody along with Harley was now coming to as well.
Then next morning the sun hit Terry in the face waking him up he opened his eyes to see Bruce sitting there.
So Terry who are you really were the words that came out of his mouth.
Figured it out that quick huh came out of Terry's mouth.
It was the clue you gave me last night.
How is Tim? Terry said with concern.
He's still out. How did you know?
Listen, Bruce you know that I'm not from around here that is obvious.
Bruce gave him the look that Terry had gotten use to you through the years he had worked with him.
Why do you always give that same look Terry commented? It gets on my nerves.
Terry rubbed his head it hurt but why?
You alright Bruce asked with a concern.
I'm fine Terry snapped.
Alright I'm from the future.
Bruce smiled at him I figured that much out.
Alright then what else do you know about me? Terry said smugly.
Well to be honest it was Barbra who figured out most of it?
What are you talking about?
The way you stand, your eyes and the small gestures you try and cover up.
Terry Glared at him
Like that look right there, Bruce commented.
What are you getting at?
Barbra seems to think that you are my son.
Terry swallowed hard.
What ever.
You mean to say that your not then.
Look I just work for you that's all.
Bruce was puzzled at this, than how do you explain everything?
You're the detective you figure it out because I don't have a clue Terry spouted at the younger Bruce Wayne.
Well you could give me a blood sample Bruce spoke.
The looks were crossed between the two.
You're serious aren't you? Fine then I see you won't be satisfied till I do.
Terry sighed and followed Bruce down to the cave and Bruce extracted what blood was needed for the tests.
You can go back up stairs now Terry. He turned t leave and started talking to himself.
Why does this stuff always happen to me? My senior year and I'm stuck here in the past… he waked up the stairs and Bruce couldn't help but laugh at the kid.
Bruce placed the blood sample in his computer for a match.
Hours later Dick came down to see what Bruce had come up with he had fallen a sleep waiting for the results.
Hey there come up with anything? Bruce opened his eyes. Not yet Dick.
It could take hours yet for the results. He got up and went to change into the bat suite.
Then out of no where the screen flashed and on it was the Joker.
This message is for Batman and I don't mean the one I'm use to dealing with. I have something that belongs to him well I not only have one thing but three things that belong to him they just landed on my door step you could say oh and I want you to myself is that understood I think you know where to find me don't you. The screen went blank.
Where's Terry? Bruce narrowed his eyes. Barbra came down the stairs. Terry's gone Bruce.
Then the computer screen blinked at him the results were in.
I don't believe it Dick said as the results flashed in front of them.
Let's go was all Bruce said they all suited up and were off.
