Hi there, I don't own anything from DC and this is my own story about the Titans. Note: This is during One Year Later after BB and Kid Devil leave the team. Also, this story spins off after #36 and you'll have to pretend it's an alternate reality if you've read anything beyond #36. I don't know who died in IC, so if a dead guy shows up, please tell me. Enjoy!
The Tomorrow Titans: chapter 1. Where do we go from here? Or, Time Travel Sucks
Burn surveyed the area, the fight was wearing down, and Jynx had just been taken out by Lakota's enchanted Ice-arrow. "Okay, in about ten minutes, you will lose all felling in your extremity's, unless of course I melt your frost-bitten legs, which isn't going to happen unless you tell us why you attacked." He said, noting the fact that Jynx was already shivering and her teeth were chattering. "W-wh-why d-do we n-need a re-reason to at-tack y-you accursed he-heroes?" she asked a mocking smile on her face. It was amazing how she kept her cool, despite the fact she was at the utter mercy of the two men she had tried to kill moments ago. Lakota came out of his reverie and looked her in the eyes. "Bull. There was no way in hell this was going to work, and you knew it." Jynx gave a crazed cackle. "The others didn't, they were all fooled, even Psimon. But not me, I was the only one. They told me their true motive…" She looked into Burn's eyes, like she was looking threw them. She had stopped shivering, which was either bad for her, or extremely bad for them. "She knew, she knew that I could be trusted, and she'll come for me, and smite you fools!" Burn and Lakota looked at each other, this chick was frickin nuts! "Enough of this shit, who sent you!" Lakota drew his hunting knife and moved in front of Jynx. "Last chance." His voice was colder then ice, it freaked Burn out and reminded Jinx, that she was in a bad position to be in. Her face was turning blue, but she did manage to utter a response. "You did."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"And that's what she told us." said Burn. They were all sitting in the den/living room/debriefing place of Titans Tower. Burn had told the other members about the interrogation of Jinx, leaving out Lakota's death threat, he didn't want to lose the fellow new-member and frankly, it had freaked him out a little. "Do we have any idea what that could mean?" Cyborg sat for a moment with a puzzled look on his face. Then his expression changed, to one of understanding. "In the past, nearly a year and a half ago, The Teen Titans were… 'Recruited' by a Superboy from the distant future. Long story short, on the return trip, we ended up ten-years in a future where the Titans had become sadistic and cruel. We met the Titans East, who were fighting for a free world. The Batwoman told Starfire how after the Crisis, the Titans need to still be around, otherwise, that future will come to be. I know that we escaped that future, the question is, did it lead to something worse?"

Ravager walked down a corridor of the tower, Aside from some scrapes and a REALLY sore arm, she was perfectly fine… if a little on edge. Daddy Deathstroke didn't raise no fool of a daughter, so as a precaution Rose was checking out the rooms of the latest members. Spykestrip was clean, he needed to hide his Playboys in a better place then under his mattress, but he was clean. Lakota's room had been renovated into some kind of wigwam thing, but aside from a booby-trapped medicine chest (which turned out to be filled with Native American artifact crapola) he was also clean. Now Rose just had to look through Burn's room, but she honestly didn't expect to find anything evil from him. The guy was painfully mellow, but just to make sure…
Rose unlocked the door and crawled into the room. She heard running water, and silently thanked Burn for choosing that pointing time to take a shower. Lakota had been in some sort of meditative trance, which had been a pain in the ass to stealthily maneuver around. Rose began her search by rifling through his dresser. As soon as she opened the first drawer she stopped. "Oh, my, god." she mouthed silently.
Robin took a massive swig from the cup of coffee he had made for himself, normally he wasn't a coffee type of guy but the team had just fought the Fearsome Five and he still had a lot of work to do on the Clone program. "Come on, I've figured out how to make him now I just need to give him his powers." After a few more minutes of rapid typing, he sighed. "Come on Tim, think!" He said to himself while massaging his temples. Psimon had really done a number on his head; it was like Joker was beating his head in with a crowbar. "Whoa!" Robin jumped in his seat, why did he just make a Jason Todd reference? "Must have been something Psimon did, refresh those memories of him beating me. I beat that twisted psycho really liked watching that." Robin stood up, he needed some fresh air, and working to death wasn't going to bring Connor back. He went down to the kitchen where he ran into Cyborg. "Craving some protein paste as a midnight snack?" He asked jokingly. Vic laughed; it was good that Robin could still make jokes. "Actually, I wanted to have a word with you, about the attack. I think that the Five were recruited by a future version of us." Robin gave a long sigh and sat down "Vic, my head hurts enough, even without the psychic attack from a madman."
"No listen, what I wanted to ask was; 'Do you think we could make a time travel device to go into the future?'" Tim's expression changed to one of deep thought. "Well, it was Brainiac seven who first brought to the future… To tell the truth Vic, I don't know but I think it's worth the risk." Cyborg smiled "I knew you'd agree."
