Set after trouble in Tokyo. Unfortunately, the Teen Titans don't belong to me. Anyway, this is my first Teen Titans fanfic, so the characters may be a little OOC.
The Titans were awoken by the shrill sound of an alarm. Robin immediately shot out of bed and hurried into the common room, whereas the others were slightly slower due to their lack of sleep, which apparently never affected the leader of the team. Beast Boy was especially lethargic when woken up in the middle of the night, and he decided that whatever triggered the crime alarm could be delt with by his friends, who were more than capable of handling things without him. He yawned and pulled his pillow over his head in an attempt to block out the noise of the ringing alarm. The rest of the Titans were now assembled and ready to go- Robin concluded that there was a museum robbery to attend to.
"Where's Beast Boy?" The masked Titan demanded impatiently, as he was getting fed up with the laziest member of the team.
"Probably still asleep, ignoring the alarm once again." Raven answered tonelessly.
"Alright, we have no time to lose. Raven, go wake Beast Boy up and teleport yourselves to the museum. As for the rest of us, let's go!" And they shot out of the tower faster than Raven could protest. With a menacing scowl on her face, she went to wake up the sleeping changeling.
"Beast Boy!" She yelled in aggravation, "Get. Up. Now." She flung the door to his room open and stalked inside to haul him out by his annoyingly pointed ears.
"Ahh! Raven!" He exclaimed once she grabbed him, "I'm up, I'm up! Sheesh."
"Come on, there's a museum being robbed. We have to go." Raven said monotonously.
"What? Why can't the police-" Beast Boy started to argue, but Raven had already enveloped them in her dark energy and teleported herself and the reluctant Beast Boy away from the tower.

"Titans? Ha. You cannot stop me from obtaining the final ingredient I need to complete my weapon of utter chaos!" The villain shouted. It was now clear to Beast Boy why the authorities couldn't handle the situation. Warp, a villain they had fought once before, had a machine that could sent people into the past or future. "Once it is complete, I will be able to freeze time itself! The world will be mine to do with what I please. Now stand back, you infuriating adolescents, as I complete the process." Warp was standing over a machine, and he held an unidentifiable and undoubtedly stolen artifact in his hand. He placed the artifact under the machine, which began to scan the object he took from the museum.
"Titans," Robin called out his signature battle cry, "Go!" And the Boy Wonder immediately launched forward and kicked the villian across the room. Raven swiftly approached the machine and began to remove the object from the scanners. Warp's eyes widened in terror as he saw what she was doing.
"No!" He screeched. "If you mess with it now, the entire planet will be forced into-" Cyborg's sonic cannon effectively cut off what he was about to say.
"Just destroy the machine, Rave!" Cyborg called, "we've got Warp."
Raven nodded at her teammate and picked the machine up with her dark powers, about to smash it to bits when it abruptly started glowing, causing her to drop it. She barely had time to summon a shield around her and her teammates before it exploded on impact with the ground. A shock wave rippled out of the museum, and then everything became still.
Robin shook himself off and surveyed the area. It seemed as though the machine had created a slight earthquake, although there was no serious damage. Whatever the strange device was designed to do, Robin deduced that it had obviously failed.
"Good job, Raven." Robin congratulated, "I'll leave a message for the police, our job here is done."
"Oh, come on!" Beast Boy complained, "You guys could have totally handled this without me! Why couldn't you just let me sleep?"
"We must always be prepared for the worst," Raven reminded him, "Now let's go home." Raven then teleported the Titans back to the tower, where they had every intention of resuming their slumber.
"Good night again, dear friends!" Starfire yawned as she floated back to her room.
"Yeah. And don't expect me to wake up before noon, guys." Beast Boy shouted as he travelled down the hallway to his room. "This Titan is gonna get some quality rest before he- Ahhh!" He screeched.
"Yo, dude, what's up?" Cyborg called, "Your stanky ass laundry ain't trying to suffocate you again is it?"
Beast Boy came running back into the common room, along with Starfire, who came to see what had caused him to scream.
"Are you alright, friend?" She questioned anxiously.
"What's wrong, Beast Boy?" Robin demanded.
"Please." Raven snorted, "Beast Boy probably just thought he saw a ghost. I'm going to bed." She drifted off.
"Wait!" Beast Boy threw his hands up in the air. "There are strangers in my room!"
"What are talking about, man?" Cyborg asked.
"Like, my room looks totally different. It's clean." He shuddered, "And there are little kids sleeping in my bunk beds!"
"Perhaps they have broken into the tower while we were away." Starfire suggested.
"Those good for nothing brats aren't going to get away with breaking and entering in my room-" Beast Boy started to say.
"Hey man, chill." Cyborg, "They might have nowhere else to go. We are the protecters of the city, so maybe they thought we could help."
"But why would they pick Beast Boy's room?" Robin asked the team, "That's the most vile place in the tower. Let's go investigate."
::::::::::::::
"It seems as though these strange children have made Beast Boy's room their home." Starfire observed as the Titans peered at the two sleeping forms nestled in the bunk beds. His room was, in fact, clean. There wasn't a trace of molded food, dirty laundry, or any unusual stains.
"Shouldn't we wake them up?" Beast Boy asked, irked by the fact that there were strangers sleeping in his bed. He did, although, enjoy that his room had been cleaned, so perhaps he could forgive them for stealing it. As long as they were relocated soon, of course.
"No. Whoever they are, it looks like they broke into the tower in search of a place to rest. It doesn't look like anything sinister is going on. At least they had to decency to clean up the pig sty." Robin narrowed his eyes. "But why they would subject themselves to such a torture is beyond me."
"Perhaps they felt guilty for invading and decided a good deed would correct the wrong." Starfire guessed.
"Probably." Cyborg agreed, "Cause I know that nothing else could be a good reason to even go near the foulness that was BB's room."
"Hey! My room wasn't foul, it was just a little messy." Beast Boy defended.
"Well, whatever the case is, we can find out tomorrow morning when they wake up." Robin decided, inconspicuously placing a micro-sized recording device in the doorway to keep an eye on things.
"What? Then where am I supposed to sleep?" Beast Boy asked in panic. He had gone too long without a good twelve hours of sleep. He wasn't about to let some homeless kids take away his well deserved rest.
"In my room, apparently." Ravens voice came from the end of the hallway. She flew closer to the group huddled outside the changeling's door. "All of your stuff seems to have been moved into my room." Ravens voice was flat, but there was an undertone of irritation.
"But why?" Robin asked muttered.
"In fact," Raven went on, "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you had been using my room for years. There are dirty clothes strewn everywhere- on the floor, under the bed, hanging of the ceiling fan... Why would the intruders move all the junk from your room into mine?"
"I wish I knew." The leader said, "But in the meantime, Beast Boy can sleep on the couch until we get around to interrogating these kids in the morning."
"The couch?" Beast Boy made a face. "It's too lumpy."
"Tough." Raven told him, floating back down the hallway.
"Wait, Raven, can I get my clothes from your room first?"
"Yes. I'd appreciate it if you removed all of them."
"Okay." He sighed in relief. He didn't actually think Raven would let him go in her room, even to collect his things, so it surprised him that she agreed. But when he was right about to cross the threshold, the door slammed shut. He banged on it. "Raven! I thought you said I could get my-"
"Here." Raven appeared in the door way, his clothes darkened with her energy as she moved them quickly out of the room with her powers, and then proceeded to dump them on the floor in from of him.
"Thanks." Beast Boy said as he picked the pile up and brought it back to his room, where he haphazardly threw them down on the freshly cleaned floor. Quietly, so he wouldn't wake the kids sleeping peacefully, he picked out his pajamas and made his way to the bathroom. His clothes must have buried back in his closet for quite some time, because he didn't recognize any of them. When he went to put them on, it was clearly evident that they were several sizes too large. "Huh. That's sure strange." Had he lost weight, or was he shrinking? Beast Boy was puzzled. He couldn't even remember buying these. Were they actually Robins? Putting his uniform back on, he went to seek out the leader, who was in his own room, standing with a deep frown on his face.
"Hey, Robin. I'm sure these aren't my clothes that were put in Ravens room, and I was wondering if-"
"Beast Boy." Robin turned toward him with a strange expression on his face.
"What is it?" The green teenager was confused at the serious expression that dominated his teammates face.
"Do you know what year it is?" Robin asked slowly.
"Yeah. It's 2016. Why?"
"Your wrong." Robin said darkly. "It's 2026."
To be continued... Eventually. Let me know if this is something your intrested in reading. For all you BBRae and RobStar shippers out there, you won't be disappointed. ;)
