A/N: One of my first so please be nice. This is yet another 'Titans kids come from the future' fics, but this one's different, so don't hit back on your toolbar yet! Please read at least the first chapter, then flame if you want, but I'd rather you not. This will switch POVs. Pairings at the end of chapter... 4, just to make you wait and try and figure them out by yourself. Oh, and on a side note, I won't do very many in Starfire's POV as I loath typing the 'proper' grammar. Oh yeah, and characters may be slightly OOC... Please enjoy or at least R&R!
Chapter 1 -- Kids
Robin's POV
I was heading toward the gym one day, just to pass time, when I heard voices. I pressed myself up against the wall and listened.
"Sunny! Put that down!" A girl's voice hissed. It sounded like a younger version of Raven, only with more feeling. Kind of distressed, not deadpan.
"But it is so amusing and adorable!" Another girl's voice said. She sounded a lot like Starfire, but not exactly.
"I don't care if it's the most adorable thing in the world!" The first voice hissed. "We can't mess anything up!"
"Ugh, then how are we supposed to get home?" A boy's voice said. It sounded like a way younger version of Beast Boy.
"I haven't figured that out yet," The first girl said.
"When we get back home, Larry is so dead!" A boy said. I regognized that voice. It sounded like I had when I was twelve or thirteen. And Larry?? I only hoped he wasn't talking about who I thought he was talking about.
"I'll help you," The first girl said. "But now we have to get home before we wreck anything!"
"Sparrow, calm down!" Another girl said.
"Tamara's right Spare," The Beast Boy sound-alike said. I assumed Spare was a nickname for Sparrow.
"Taran! Shut up!" Sparrow snapped. "We're stuck in the past with no way to get back!"
I decided it wasz time for me to step in. I rounded the corner and saw six kids. I knew I had only heard five voices, so who hadn't talked?
I stared at them and they stared back. One of them wore a dark purple version of Raven's outfit, but I didn't see a gem on her forehead. Her hair was black instead of purple, but her eyes were the same violet as Raven's. Another wore a hot pink version of Starfire's uniform, but instead of a short miniskirt, she wore pink capris, trimmed with silver. Her hair was gold, not orange, but it sat like Starfire's. Her eyes shone emerald green. In her arms was Silkie, the worm thing.
A boy stood next to her. He looked like a miniature Beast Boy, but with a little bit of blonde highlights and blue eyes. The stripe down the center of his uniform was dark blue, not purple. Then, right next to him stood a girl. Her skin was normal, and her hair was blonde, but her eyes were a peircing green. She wore a green shirt with a yellow T in the center of a yellow circle and black shorts.
Then, there was another boy. I was freaked out. This kid looked like I did when I was thirteen, plus the mask, which I didn't have then. His uniform was the same as mine, minus the R patch on his chest. The volors were different though. The red on his uniform was in the same places as mine, but darker, and instead of the green, there was black. Jis hair was black with a hint of lighter colors I couldn't identify. His hair was even styled like mine.
Then, lastly, a girl with big, hazel eyes and brown stood next to the last boy. She wore a blue short sleeved shirt with lighter blue sleeves and jeans.
"Well, this is something we weren't expecting," The younger Terra spoke up.
"Gee Tamara, ya think?" My younger double said.
"Give it a rest, will you Rob?" The Rave lookalike said.
"You guys wanna tell me who you are?" I asked.
"You would not understand, even if we told you," The littler version of Starfire said.
"I'll bet," I muttered.
"We're from the future," The Beast Boy kid said.
"Taran!" The Raven girl yelled.
"What?" Little Beast Boy asked, shrugging. "He asked!"
"Sparrow, calm down," The young Terra girl said.
Sparrow breathed in deeply. "I'm ok," She said.
"I guess we should introduce ourselves," The girl who looked like Starfire said. "I am Sunfire."
"We call her Sunny," The Beast Boy kid said. "I'm Taran."
"I'm Tamara," The girl who looked like Terra said. "That's Sparrow," She said, pointing to the girl who was like Raven.
"I'm Rob," The little me said. Actually, I wasn't surprised his name was Rob.
"I call him the idiot," Sparrow added. Tamara glared at her.
"Be nice!" She said.
"And that-" Sunny pointed to the girl with brown hair, "is-" She was cut off.
"Kina," The girl said quietly. "I can talk for myself Sunny."
"Too bad you don't do it too much," Rob muttered. Tamara stomped on his foot. Hard.
"OW!" He yelped.
"Now you see why I call him an idiot," Sparrow said.
"Wait, you're our kids from the future?" I asked. Tamara nodded.
"I think I'd better tell the others," I said.
I noticed Kina looking a little unconfortable.
Beast Boy's POV
At first, I didn't believe my eyes wheb Robin led a bunch of kids into the main room, but there they were.
I noticed most of them looked like younger versions of us with different outfits. Except the quiet brunette.
"DUDE!" I yelled. "Who are they?"
"Ditto," Raven said.
"We're your kids!" The kid who looked like Robin said, grinning. My jaw dropped. Starfire looked stunned.
"Shut up!" The kid who looked like Raven said.
"Listen, we kind of need to talk... alone," Robin said. "Raven could you-"
Raven cut him off with an are-you-serious? look. "No. I don't do kids."
"Ok... Starfire?" Robin asked. Starfire smiled at the possibility of meeting new friends.
"You will tell me later so I may understand who they are, yes?" Starfire asked. Robin nodded. She herded the kids out of the main room.
"Start talking," Cyborg said.
"Apparently they're our kids... from the future," Robin said.
"That's very possible," Raven said sarcastically.
"Ok, so let's just say they are who they say they are," Cyborg said. "What do we do?"
"I guess we need to get to know them. I mean, they're gonna have to stay here. I think the oldest one is only fourteen!" Robin said.
"Robin, they could be kids who made up costumes and just happen to look like us. They could be a threat," Raven said.
"Then we'll just have to keep an eye on them Raven," Robin said.
Then, he told us that the mini Raven was Sparrow, the little me was Taran, Terra's 'kid' was Tamara, the mini Starfire was Sunfire, AKA Sunny, the mini him was Rob, and the brunette was Kina.
Then, we all agreed that it couldn't hurt to play along.
Cyborg's POV
At first I was hurt that there wasn't a mini me, but then I realized that I might not have the right human male body parts to have a child with whomever I ended up marrying, so I went back to wondering who the brunette was.
Beast Boy went to go tell Starfire she could bring the kids back into the main room. They came back and the kids (except Kina) went off in different directions while Beast Boy told Starfire the kid's names and the plan to play along.
"Sweet!" Taran said, looking at the GameStation. "Hey sis! Come here! It's an old style GameStation!"
Tamara dashed over. "Sweet!" She echoed.
Beast Boy put two and two together for the first time in his life and came up with... "TERRA AND I GET MARRIED????" He yelled.
Taran's face went red. "Oops..." He said. Sparrow banged her head on the wall.
I heard her mutter, "I'm surrounded by idiots. I'm surrounded by idiots. I'm surrounded by idiots."
I noticed Kina sliping out of the room, and remembering Raven's theory, went after her. Kina apparently knew her way around pretty well and finally opened up a door leading to the roof.
Kina sat down on the edge of the roof and looked out over the lake, the wind whipping her hair around her face. I couldn't help myself and sat down next to her.
"Hey," I said.
"Hi..." She said. Suddenly, I felt I could trust her.
"So, you guys really are our kids from the future?" I asked.
"The boys may be incredibly stupid, but they're not liars," Kina said. (A/N: If you look back you will see that Taran said they were from the future in the hall and Rob said it again in the main room.)
"How come you're always alone?" I asked, "I mean, I've barely met you and I can tell you're always by yourself."
"I'm not... like the others," Kina said.
"How?" I asked.
"Sparrow's going to kill me, but I'm your adopted daughter," She said. "You and Mom adopted me because you both knew she couldn't exactly... have kids with you."
"Oh..." I said. It was kinda akward, but nice. "So... do you have a power?" I asked. Kina got up.
"Try to punch me," She said.
"Now way!" I said, getting up, "I'm not gonna hit you!"
She had definetly been hanging around Raven because she gave an annoyed look. "I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" I asked. Kina nodded, I closed my hand into a fist and threw it at her. She leaped up high and my fist punched the air. I looked up. Bad idea. Her foot landed in my face. I stumbled backward. She ran toward me amd did a few front handsprings. I sidestepped it. She landed her last flip, landing with one foot out to the side and the other under her body. Her hair fell in front of her face. Then, she stood up straight and did a gymnastics type salute. (Like Terra had done that one time she had landed during the training course.
"Since I wasn't born with any powers, Robin trained me," Kina said, walking over to where I stood.
"Have you gotten better than Boy Wonder?" I asked.
"I'm not really better than he is... I'm not really all that good," She said. She brushed some hair out of her eyes.
I knew I was going to make a good decision in picking her in the future. She smiled.
