Teen Titans– Future Storm

"Doomed"

Chapter Two: "Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Any Worse"

Disclaimer: As usual, I'd like to say that I do this not for money or any kind of gain at all, and that barring some exceptions, such as Nightstar and other DC/Marvel original characters, the rest are either mine or belong to my friends, as stated before. It'd take too long to go into detail, but some characters belong to, or are inspired by characters owned by, Black Panther's Knight/Whatever name he uses if he changes it at a later date, if that happens. Any other character that appear that I don't indicate who owns them, and they're not mine, then their respective owners will know who they are, if that does happen, though it probably won't..

Author's Notes: Okay, this is the first special event for this fanfic. Yeah, I'm writing in my own continuity, with my own ideas for certain things, and I realize that can put people off. I'm gonna try to make up for it now by streamlining certain elements and characters, to make it more palatable, to you, the reader. Now, this story features a crossover between the Future Storm Teen Titans, and my own. This is a treat for me, because it was Future Storm that inspired me to write this series in the first place, just with my own twist. This story will feature some eccentric characters as well, in an attempt to entertain you with a glimpse into the inner workings of my mind. This story is also written from the perspective of Black Panther's Knight's Titans, rather than my own.

After a few hours of sleep, Mar'i, Terri, and Samara went to the site of the latest Steel Angels concert, which happened to be in Gotham. Thanks to their earlier conversation, Olivia was waiting for them backstage, an odd smile appearing on her face when Mar'i walked up with her friends, and hugged her.

"Hello, Olivia. How're things?"

"Mmmm…better now." The blonde winked playfully, causing the half-alien to blush. Meanwhile, Terri had her own odd look on her face, as she sniffed the air a few times, making a confused-sounding grunt as she separated from the others, Samara following her after a few minutes. This left Mar'i alone with the odd-acting Olivia, who was practically leering by now.

"Terri…? What's wrong?"

"I…I dunno. I'm picking up a scent I could swear I know, but I just can't place it…" the green shapeshifter tilted her head, and began looking behind objects, hearing the sound of a cat skittering away after a moment. "There! It's coming from that animal! Catch it, Samara!"

"Right." The demon-born mystic raised a hand, fingers outstretched, and chanted a spell, enveloping the strange cat in a sphere of black energy. Then the two girls heard a sound that was rather unusual for a cat. It wasn't a meow, or a yowl, or a screech, but a curse word. In a very human, very familiar voice.

"Damn!" the cat hissed, growing larger and more humanoid, until the two were staring face to face with…another Terri. This one had longer hair, and was wearing, at the moment, a pink and white lace up top, black tight, shiny pants, white and black boots, and pink and white wristbands, with a collar around her neck. She scratched against the sphere for a few moments, before adopting the same confused look as her mirror double. "Oh, nuts…"

"Now, this is interesting…" Samara hmmed as she continued to restrain the other Beast Girl, holding her up and even spinning the orb around a bit, which caused the second Terri to squeal and clap a hand to her mouth.

"Q-q-q-q-quit it!" She managed to say, growing dizzy.

"Definitely acts like you…"

"I suggest you put my friend down, or things are going to get very rough for you, lady…" came a new voice, a rather masculine female voice, and the sound of cracking knuckles could be heard. The two Titans turned, along with the other Beast Girl, who then smiled with relief.

"Jonni! Oh, thank you thank you thank you!"

The source of the voice was a late teens age girl, wearing a rather attractive purple leather outfit and small jacket, with red streaks in otherwise raven-black hair, wearing studding gauntlet-like gloves, and sporting a holster on her back, which bore a rather old-looking Winchester rifle. She drew the gun, and pointed it at Samara, who just wore a soft, almost patronizing smile.

"I don't think you know who you're dealing with…"

"Oh, I do…" Then the girl spun the shotgun around in a circle around her finger, before speaking in a deep, raspy, leonine voice, uttering one word: "Shotgun." With a rather loud, concussive noise, a blast of pure hellfire erupted from the gun barrel, and struck Samara in the chest, knocking her back with surprise, and causing her to drop the second Beast Girl, who promptly skittered along the floor in the form of a cat, moving behind the leather girl, whose eyes were glowing like fire.

"Ugh!" The mystic grunted a bit and put a hand to her chest, blinking a few times. "Hellfire?"

"She must be some kinda demonic pyromancer or something!" The first Terri spoke up, her fingers morphing into claws as she hissed.

"Oh, I'm much worse than that…" the strange, older girl grinned, just before a glowing energy whip struck her hand, sending the old model gun flying away, clattering noisily to the ground. "Damn!" She hissed, especially when a bolt from a mini-crossbow found its way into her left thigh. "Agh!"

"Olivia, you didn't have to do that!" Nightstar whispered, a startled look on her face as her blonde friend reloaded her bow, and took aim at Jonni, scowling a bit.

"Oh, yes I do…crazy broad ruined a job of mine…"

The red-and-black haired girl growled, and then began roaring rather frighteningly, as her skin began to bubble and melt, peeling away and evaporating, until she burst into flame all at once, all that remained besides her outfit was her skeleton…which promptly cracked its knuckles as the studs on the gloves she wore lengthened into spikes as did the ones on her shoulders and going along her arms vertically. "Hmph…I should've known you'd be involved in this, Wilson…" These words were spoken in that harsh, demonic voice, as the flaming skeleton walked forward, catching the crossbow bolt before it struck her in the eye socket, and promptly retaliated by punching Olivia in the chest with rapid succession, before kicking her in the knee, causing the blonde to fall to that knee in pain, with the creature striking her again in the face, withdrawing its hand after a moment and hissing. "Damn…she's just like ours…that hurt…"

"Jonni, catch!" Came from the other Terri, who threw the shotgun back to her associate, who used it to smack Olivia hard in the head, only for her skull to receive one hard punch to the jaw, the impact from the transformed Jonni causing the hard floor to break and splinter under the sheer force of Nightstar's punch, while Terri jumped her long-haired doppelganger and Samara enveloped the singer in a protective shield. "That looked like it hurt…"

"Yes…yes…it did…hurt…" she managed to say, despite her jaw now hanging off, which was promptly fixed, any cracks to the bone quickly sealing thanks to her powers and restoring her. "This isn't what it looks like…" Before she could finish, she was kicked up into the air, grabbed by the front of her jacket, and throw onto the curtained stage, skidding along the floor and slamming into an amplifier, startling Hornet and Avia, who let out a startled curse as the Rider extracted itself from the shattered equipment. "Oh, I can see why I'm going to get a calling off…."

"Avia! This…thing hurt Olivia!" Nightstar called out as she flew out, eyes glowing brightly, while the flaming being just swore and swung her shotgun up in the air, and opened fire on Avia, this time with regular shotgun rounds.

"And they wonder why I don't like being out with people my own age...." The Rider growled as she rolled back, avoiding Avia's enraged punches, countering one particularily brutal one with a flaming elbow to the face, with a loud crack...though neither woman flinched. Things looked like they were about to get worse when there was a sudden, very loud, sound like someone clearing their throat. Everyone looked up to see a towering young woman with white skin, styled purple hair with a flower in it, a black and green dress with black gloves and black leggings/boots, standing at about 25 feet tall, who reached down to grab both Avia and the Rider in each hand.

"NOW, SOMEONE MIND TELLING ME WHAT'S GOING ON?" the giant asked, a frown on her face as she regarded both women for a moment, before dropping them on their rears.

"It's not our fault!" The long-haired Terri protested, moving over to help up the flaming skeleton, who, in a sudden burst of fire, regained all the flesh she had burnt off, and looking rather ragged around the edges. "You attacked us!"

"But your friend just beat the hell out of Olivia!" Nightstar retorted.

"Well, your friend is being remote-controlled!"

"Wait, what?" Samara and company blinked, while the giant grabbed the squirming Olivia, and eyed her closely.

"Why don't you take a picture, toots? It'll last longer," came the blonde's uncharacteristic reply.

"Say hello to...indirectly...Wade Wilson, known on our world as Deadpool."

"Deadpool...? Wait, did you say Wilson?"

"We're not even sure that's his real name..." came a new voice, which came from overhead. Everyone but the giant looked up and saw, hanging from a series of white strands of...something...was a shapely young woman wearing a full-body red body suit with white fingers, white teardrop lenses for eyes, and a large white spider insignia on the front, with the top of the mask lacking a scalp, so that medium length brown hair was visible. "He's usually one of us...but that's in my time...but if you don't know who he is, then you don't have him in this world....and he certainly doesn't have the technical expertise needed to hijack a cyborg...an aircraft carrier maybe..."

"That's sweet, Pseudo Spidey. I wuv you too." The blonde said in a mocking voice, before snorting. "Uh oh...looks like someone's givin' me the boot..." And with that, Olivia went limp, before groaning softly. "Holy hell, what hit me?"

"That would be me..." Jonni stood up, grunting as she was handed her weapon by the other Terri, holstering it and glaring at Avia for a few moments, as well as Nightstar. Samara, for her part, looked interested in the biker girl.

"She seems to be much like our Speed Demon...aside from the physical resemblance and some of the powers...however, I don't think her transformation is due to being bonded with a demon perse..." the sorceress commented out loud.

"It's a spirit of vengeance, and it's a family 'heirloom'...a member of each generation of my family is cursed with being the Ghost Rider...it's no picnic...why are you doing that?" This was in response to the other Terri hanging off the biker's arm, giving her quite obviously a look of adoration which caused most of the natives to blush in surprise at seeing a Beast Girl who was, clearly, in the least, bisexual.

"Because it's fun?"

"Annoying is more like it," The biker girl grumbled, trying to shake her arm loose, while some snickering could be heard overhead. "Oh, great. The hippy decides to show his face."

The female Titans and their friends looked up, to see an odd sight. A definately familiar face, though much younger than the one they knew, and a familiar emblem, on a black bodysuit with silver metal lower leg and knee coverings, red shoulders with a thick line going down the back of the arms, the familiar S emblem encased in silver and red, with smaller silver emblem on the abdomen, attached to three belts that went around his waist and a red cape flapping in the wind, a silver S on the back, long black hair swaying as the young man set himself down on the ground. "You keep saying that, but I know you don't mean it," the familiar young man said, teasingly, while crossing his muscular arms over his chest

"Who is that?" Terri asked, before sniffing the air, eyes going wide. "No way..."

"What? Who is it, Terri?" Mar'i asked, curious to the surprised reaction on her friend's face.

"Well...he...he smells...like Superman."

"I should...I AM Superman." The young man almost looked smug at that, putting his hands on his hips and striking a pose, before laughing. "Well, actually, I'm going by Superboy. Frankly, I don't think I'm old enough to be a Superman yet, really." Then he blinked, and looked between the two Terris. "...Huh. There's...two of you..."

"This is the Beast Girl native to this world, Kal," the giant said as she shrunk down, though stopping when she hit ten feet, to continue to look imposing, though her slender and smallish figure didn't help matters much.

"...Riiiiight. This multiverse stuff is WAAAAY over my head, to be honest with you. I'm just here to lend a hand, like I did the Legion when they needed it." The young man shrugged, smiling a bit, and crossed his arms over his chest, looking thoughtful.

"While that's all very interesting, I think I need to lay down...I feel like crap..." Olivia groaned, falling back against the stage floor, hands over her eyes. "Feels like that time Overload took me over...only worse."

"Well, it wasn't too hard to get him out of there," came yet a new voice, belonging to a young man of Asian descent, wearing a black trenchcoat, black white button up shirt, black pants, black shoes, and a pair of sunglassess, scowling a bit as he regarded the resting blonde. "You really should think about installing better barriers in your cyber-brain. It was child's play for me to hack in there and fix things...though I don't know why I did..."

"I can think of a reason...a really big one...or two," their Superboy remarked, pointing up with his left thumb at the goth-y giant behind him, smirking a bit, while the arachnid-themed young woman sighed softly before speaking.

"I appreciate a good double-entendre like any other person, but I think we should focus on the task at hand - finding out what exactly we're doing here."

"We'd need our fearless leader for that, wouldn't we?" remarked the asian man, who leaned up against part of the stage, snorting a bit.

"I hate to see it, but Cochrane's got a point, guys," The other Terri said, before thinking a bit. "Oh, by the way, other-me...you guys can call me Chimera." She smiled, sweetly, and nodded a bit. "We have another former Beast Girl on the team too, and her name is Changeling. If we run across any more, we're gonna run outta names, right, Zero?" The name was said teasingly, and the young Asian-American grunted in annoyance.

"It was my 'Net handle, and if I can't be called Ghost Rider anymore, that's what I'm going with...stop teasing me about it, or you'll get a choice between the claws and the chainsaw." There was a bit of menace in the young man's voice, and Chimera eeped, hiding behind the biker girl, who glared at the other. "Don't give me that look, Blaze...you're as nice as I am. She just likes you more...and you haven't been liked in a long time, have you?"

"Shut up, Cochrane, or we'll have another Rider versus Rider fight."

"I seem to recall I was winning that one..."

"Hardly."

Nightstar regarded the strange people, and groaned a bit. "...Okay, we're going to have to ask you guys to come with us, and give us your complete background and history, because I can tell you definately don't belong here...and the last person who didn't belong here was going around doing a lot of horrible things in a friend's name."

"Well, I can assure you, we're nothing like that. We're all on the up-and-up...well, except for Blaze...and Cochrane...and Doris...and Mekt...really, you have to talk to the boss about this...he's better at explaining it than I am," the arachnid said, nodding a bit. "I'm Arachne...the grouchy Asian is Kenshiro 'Zero' Cochrane, you already know Chimera, the freaky biker is Jonni Blaze (better known where we're from as Ghost Rider), the large girl is LeViathan, and we all know who Superboy is...in case you don't, he's Kal-El from Krypton. This is only a part of our team - we split up to cover more ground to find out what exactly is 'wrong' here." She took Nightstar's hand in her own, and gave it a firm shake, with surprising strength for a girl with her build. "I'm guessing you're still called Nightstar here, and that your friend is the daughter of Green Arrow and the second Black Canary. We already know who Beast Girl's parents are, though I have a sneaking suspicious that the dark girl's mother is Raven...probably."

"Uhm...yes, that's right." Nightstar regarding the somewhat chatty red-and-white clad girl oddly, before shrugging it off. "If it hadn't been for our own experiences with Hypertime, we wouldn't believe you...but we know all too well there are other worlds out there, like our own..."

"And some that aren't...like mine...where I'm from, my world is actually two completely different ones with completely different metas merged together via a magical mishap. I'm part of a Titans team based in New York, actually, though I'm only a part-timer. Chimera is from my future, and Jonni is...we think...from my time. Everyone else here is from an alternate reality. All we know from 'Shiro is that he's from the year 2099, and there are no superheroes left, except for new versions of some of our old ones...and that world has no Titans, or Justice League, or anything."

"Are you serious?" This came from Beast Girl, who wore a surprised look on her face.

"Oh, completely. But he won't tell you himself - he's far too grouchy for that." The arachnid laughed, before waving her hand at the Asian American. "He seems kinda cute, but once you get to know the real him, you'll be pretty put off." And with that cryptic comment, the brunette turned to the rest of her team. "Okay, guys, looks like we're going with these Titans. Try to behave, or no ice cream later." The remark was meant to amuse, and it did...most of those present - LeViathan giggled/snorted, Chimera chuckled softly, Superboy put a hand over his mouth to stifle his own laugh, while Jonni and Kenshiro groaned a bit, in their own ways. "Lead the way, kemosabe."

Nightstar could tell this was going to be a VERY long day.

End Notes: And so this chapter ends, and the plot thickens...that's what I hope, anyway. I'm sure the presence of so many new characters will be confusing, but that's the point - this story is written similar to Marvel's Exiles book, only from the perspective of the characters that are native to the universe being visited, rather than from the perspective of the visitors and would-be saviors.
