A/N: God this took me forever to right, I guess this is not my best chapter because I just couldn't figure out what to write, it also focus's some attention off of the whole Lexa, Grant, and Ibn sitch.

Ok, so seriously people review and bit I want to know your feed back and if you got any idea's what I could do and take into consideration send me a PM I'd really appreciate it.
Disclaimer: Well when I become a millionare I'll buy the rights to it but thats not like, ever, going to happen so no I dont nor will I ever oh the Teen Titans, period! *sobs*
"LEXA!" Starfire squealed as she grabbed her daughter by the arms and they both started jumping and spinning around in a circle with an abundance of glee as they hugged. Robin and Lexa had just come back from Gotham (After several hours of explanations) with Ibn (Which took about a few more hours), and Lexa was overjoyed to see her mother and so was Starfire to see her daughter. Lexa was everything Starfire expected, she was a lot like her but also a lot like Robin. The girl who she had seen out by the Pizza Corner, who seemed hateful and violent was not this girl standing in front of her and she was glad about that.
"Oh my god, mom!" She said looking at their almost matching outfits. "You're going on 39 and you still look like a teenager! And with you here I can do all the things I've wanted to do with you. We can do each others nails, go to the mall, try on each others clothes, we can have slumber parties…" Lexa trailed on and on the only one really listening was Starfire who was all around giddy. Though Damon, Ibn, Sparky, and Robin noticed the immeadiate mood change and looked at each other, their eyebrows cocked, as Lexa and Starfire sat down at the table and started to talk about girly stuff.
"Where's Lexa and what have you done to her, Robin?" Sparky asked almost seriously. Robin just shrugged in response having no absolute clue at what drastically picked up Lexa's mood.
"Well well well, look whose finally home." Grant said walking into the room with a plain black T-Shirt and dark jeans instead of his usual uniform. To say the least Lexa thought he looked absolutely hot in that outfit though she would've never admitted it out loud as he walked towards them with a sort of arrogance that was thick in that air around him, especially at his head.
"What are you doing here?" Lexa growled standing up abruptly and slamming her hands flat onto the table.
"She's baaack." Ibn said making them all snicker. Lexa shot them all a toxic glare that made them stiffin all they way down to their toes.
"I live here now, didn't anyone tell you?" He said, his normal triumphant grin growing on his face telling Lexa that this wasn't going to be good news. "I hope you don't mind but I've moved into your room and your stuff has been moved into to your mother's room."
"What!" She then did a sharp turn and walked over to Laura who took a step back in fear.
"Laura you know that when I'm gone you're in charge of the Tower, how could you let him do that not to mention go in my room or touch my stuff!" She screamed
"Because you work for me and whatever I saw goes and I told Laura to give my son your room." Said a deep and gruff voice from behind her. Lexa froze in place, it took her less than second to figure out who was speaking even if her back was to him. Lexa felt her anger and hatred for him build up then when it was about to explode out of her she spun around and sent a punch straight for his face but he just simply caught her hand in his with that amazing strength that, she hates to admit, impresses her. Then to her side she noticed Robin standing there too grinding his teeth in anger as Slade held their fists with an iron grip. Slade then threw them across the room Robin landing on his feet just before he hit the windows and Lexa fell right into Grants arms who held her tight around her body pining her against his body. Wrigling around she tried to escape from his grip but it was futile and she soon came to give up.
"I hate you!" She muttered.
"You don't hate me Lexa because deep down you're loving this, you in my arms, all you have to do is admit it." He coed really pissing her off in doing so.
"Slade…" Robin growled as Starfire grabbed his arm and stopped him from attacking again like she knew he was going to do.
"Been a long time Robin... I'm sure you've heard this from many people in the past two days Robin but your daughter is really a fine prize for my son. She's so much like you yet she has a lot of Starfire in her not including her abilities." He said walking over to Lexa and cupping her chin with his hand. Ibn was about to blow a gasket when Raven covered his mouth with her hand muffling his words. Lexa in retaliation of Slade pulled her chin away and narrowed her eyes at Slade.
"What you might have not heard is that Grant is a lot like you Robin except he's your moral opposite. It's almost funny that all those years ago when I first met you two I thought it was you two who were to full fill the prophecy and I was wrong." Slade said walking around the room examening it as if he were looking for something..
"What prophecy!" Ibn asked.
"Years ago when Jump City was first formed an Oracle was brought in to foresee the future of the city. She told it's builders that it would become a leading city powerful and just thanks to 5 heroes, but two of them who had came from very powerful families would fall in love despite their oppositions and those who would try to keep them apart. One of those two would then cross the line to the side of Crime and the other would follow eventually just to be withthe one they loved. The city would fall beneath their feet and so the world. You can see how this prophecy wasn't put in the History textbooks, they dismissed her as a kook and locked away a recording of it in the old library never again to been seen till I arrived in Jump shortly before Robin arrived in Jump and the Teen Titans were formed. I was almost sure it was you two but when you disappeared leaving your only daughter vulnerable I became to realize who the prophecy was really about. Grant crossed, and Lexa will eventually, the only thing standing in the way is the people who are trying to keep them apart, you Ibn, and Robin." Slade said.
"Slade I don't care if we work for you not get out of my house!"
"Temper, Temper, Lexa I guess that's another thing you inherited from your mother, righteous fury isn't that how your Starbolts activate, isn't it." Slade said leaning down so they were eye level suddenly her eyes glowed a bright blue Starbolts ready to come out but they didn't.
"Dad I think it's time you go before she blows up from trying to fry you." Grant suggested. Slade just nodded and stood up straight.
"Have fun Titans." Slade said then walked out the door. Once he was gone Lexagot out of Grant's grip then drop kicked him across with her steel toed shoe.
"You're so dead Grant." She said running over to kick him again but he pressed a button on his suit and to jets came out allowing him to take to the air and they all watched as Lexa chased him around for several minutes till she finally caught him they started to laugh out of the whole randomness of what had just happened. They then flew up onto the top of the roof expecting it to be empty but Ibnstood there with his arms crossed.
"Come on Lexa lets go make sure all your stuff is in your room and was high jacked by anyone." Ibn said putting his arm around Lexa and forcibly moved her towards the exit of the roof before they went down Ibn turned and walked back towards Grant.
"Listen we may be working together to get rid of Robin but Lexa's fair game either way." Grant said answering Ibn's question before he could ask it. Ibn's eyes narrowed and he turned to go with Lexa to her new room.
-R-
"I've only been gone a day!" Robin said pacing in a circle. "And now both of them are staying here!"
"I do not like these boys they are not suitable for our daughter." Starfire said pacing also in a circle half a circle away from Robin. The rest of the Titans old and new stood or sat in the background watching the two.
"Dad, all those years ago were they like this?" Sparky asked in a whisper to Cyborg who said,
"Oh yeah but mostly Robin was the one stressing, you'd never really see Starfire worrying about anything unless it was about our safety."
"So just estimating how long are they going to be doing this?" Sparky asked.
"Till they find an answer to whatever the problem is."
"We'll be here for hours!" Naomi cried catching everyone's attention. "Sorry I'll be quite now."
"Hey Naomi, why don't we show our dads the game station?" Sparky said and Naomi nodded. They all ran over to game station and showed it to them earning a river of drool from both Cyborg and Beast Boy.
"It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!" Cyborg said eyes wide and shinning.
"Ah hem… what about the birth of your children?" Bee asked.
"This tops that." BB answered for him. Raven slinkedover and pulled on a black silk glove on and gave another to Bee they then bothsmacked both of them on the back of their heads.
"OWWW!" BB and Cyborg both yelped rubbing the back of their heads.
"I was just kidding seeing our kid for the first time was the second most beautiful thing we've ever seen." BB scrambled to say.
"Because you're the most beautiful things we've ever seen." Cyborg finished kissing Bee of the lips and BB did the same only to pull away and see a disgusted face on Sparky and Naomi's hands covering her eyes.
"Nice save." Raven muttered to BB and Cy.
"Ugh that's just not right." Sparky said.
"It's perfectly normal, grow up." Laura said beating Damon to the punch.
"Whatever, it's four way let's play." Naomi said instantly earning the attention of BB and Cyborg who ditched their wives at a moment's notice and started playing the game wildly with their kids all either standing on the couch, partly standing on the couch or standing on the floor moving around with the figure they were playing.
"What puzzles me most is why Lexa cant over power them?" Robin asked.
"Yes, she has proved to have all the strength's of my people." Starfire complied.
"I heard it was because of some Tamaranian thing he was given though no one really knows how he got his hands on it." Sparky said.
"Hey no fair my ship doesn't have Turbo Boosters!" BB yelled.
"I know all the cheat codes Dad so hah!" Naomi said flying right past them on the game.
"I still don't get this it seems like Lexa's the only one who tends to speak up against them and the rest of you go around doing whatever he says." Bee said not sounding too happy about that fact.
Suddenly the game went on pause and everyone looked straight at her.
"Look Mom, you don't know what it was like the day Slade took over Speedy, Aquaman, and Kid Flash were killed right on the spot, people were in terror and Grant, well Grant did something that none of us wants to relive especially Lexa." Sparky said staring at her intently. "So excuse us for being scarred of the one man that made our lives a living hell!" He screamed and turned abruptly to her back.
"You do not talk to your mother like that!" Cyborg retorted angrily.
"Yeah? And who are you to tell me so?" Sparky yelled standing up.
"I am you father!" He yelled back.
"Yeah so tell me what my favorite color is, what's my favorite movie, trust me if you were my father you'd know this stuff."
"He makes a solid point." Naomi said.
"Naomi stay out of this!" BB said surprisingly angry.
"What are you going to do ground me? This is our Tower we can kick you out whenever we please!" She shot back standing up crossing her arms.
"You can kick us out we built the place." Cyborg said.
"And I paid for it so I own the place." Robin added not really wanting to get in the middle of the fight but felt that fact had to be known since he didn't want to be kicked out of his own home.
"Uh actually Lexa owns it, in your Will, Robin, you stated that Titans Tower would be given to Lexa to use whenever she needs it even before her 18th birthday." Laura said also budding into the argument only to make sure that fact was evident for the sake of the argument, "So that means Lexa has sole proprietor of this place and everything else within it."
"Bottom line is while you're here; don't expect us to treat you much better than we treat each other." Sparky said.
"Normally I wouldn't but into your petty arguments but can we move onto a more important subject like what were going to do about Ibn, Grant, and Lexa all under the same roof. Obviously Grant and Ibnare shaken with your sudden return and want to make sure their prize doesn't be pulled away from them by her overprotective parents." Damon said.
"Prize?" Starfire asked looking at Robin who then looked to Damon.
"As I'm sure you've heard that Grant and Ibnhave an intense rivalry, which formed right after they bothfell in love with the same person, Lexa. I've never trusted either of them first of all and honestly I don't like that fact that both of them are going to moving in here for the time being, because that means the competitions nearing its climax and we want to stall the climax for as long as we possibly can."
"I don't understand?" Raven said which meant that nobody else probably did either.
"That climax will do one thing and one thing only, change the course of all of humanity and every other living thing on this planet. Lexa had to 2 choices, join Grant, or join Ibn bothof which will probably lead her back here with world domination." Damon said.
"What if she chooses neither of them?" Raven asked.
"Impossible you don't know what Lexa'slike I'm an empathy like you mom I can feel her emotion and she's so totally in love with these two guys I'm afraid there's no turning back." He said.
"Either way we're doomed." Sparky translated for Naomi.
"Oh just stop if Damon you've been warning up with your doom and gloom stories about Lexa and none of them have ever come true." Laura said.
"Well one of them did?" He said.
"Well unfortunately you were right that one time and we all wish we could go back and erase that day from history but sadly we can't!" She shot back. Robin was starting to wonder what they were hiding from but right now he wasn't sure if he wanted to know.
"No! My daughter is not of the evil she is a good person because she is our daughter, and I know that she's not in this world to rule over it, she is here to keep it safe!" Starfire yelled everyone in a dead silence afterwards.
"I hope your right Aunt Starfire, I hope your right."
-L-
"Are you sure you'll be able to do this, I mean you and Grant under the same roof? It'll be hectic especially with my dad here." She said. Ibn just chuckled in response as they opened to door to her new room. Lexaran and plopped down onto the navy blue sheets and buried her head in her pillow and after about 20 seconds she held her head up and took a deep breath of fresh air.
"What are you trying to do suffocate yourself?" He asked his arms crossed.
"Yes, yes I am." She joked though he didn't.
"God sometimes you're just like Grandpa Bruce, loosen up a bit." She said and turned on some dance music. She then grabbed his hands and started to dance around with him goofily. He laughed and they danced around somewhat to the beat.
"You're a mystery to me, are you bi-polar or something." He joked knowing that, that wasn't true.
"I just know how to make good out of good things." She said letting his hands go.
"I see... Is there a way you can teach me that skill?" He asked.
"It's not something that can be taught trust me, it's really mental." She said dancing by herself to the music now.
"So do you think everything here?" He asked walking around the room as she sat down on her bed again while looking around the room.
"Oh yeah everything'shere Grant wouldn't risk anything being out of place because he knows I'd notice it." She stated as if it were the simplest thing in the world. "But all of my files on my father have been accessed and trust me I won't let this go over lightly with him.
"How do you know?" He asked looking around. She pointed to her computer and there was a message on it saying that her system was hacked and that someone accessed the documents.
"Oh…" He said. "Why would he want to access your files?" Though he already knew the answer oh too well
"Do I really have to answer that question…? Honestly do both of you take me as a fool?" She said.
"I-"She cut his response off.
"You don't have to answer but I think you should know that you should put up a better firewall." She then walked out of her room leaving him puzzled like she wanted him too. She walked back to the Monitor Room and found Sparky and ; pissed, Laura trying to rub out a headache, Damon just sitting there reading a book, Cyborg and Beast Boy playing videogames, Raven meditating, her parent pacing in a weird way, and Grant leaning against the wall watching them all as if they were a freak show.
She decided to take action and ran to each of her teammates and whispered something in their ears. They instantly stopped what was going on and went wide eyed soon followed by large grins even Damon looked smug.
"Ok we got 30 minutes to change then meet back here, Titans Go!" Lexa yelled followed by a quick wind and they noticed that Lexa, Naomi, Sparky, Damon, and Laura were all gone.
5 minutes later the guys were all back. Damon was wearing a black jacket with a white strip right down the center, his jacket collar also popped up covering almost all of his neck, he had one of the jewels similar to Raven's in between his eyes and a symbol of Azarcoming down from his eye. Sparky was wearing a simple blue and white plaid shirt withjeans. 5 more minutes later the girls showed up giggling. Naomi was wearing a purple one strap shirt withshort denim jeans and boots her hair was straightened and seemed to naturally curve inward. Laura wore a strapless yellow tub top with a tight yellow skirt and black tights, her hair, including an extension, was pulled into one single braid that fell down to just above her yellow boots. It was obvious that like her mother she had a love for the color yellow. Lexa wore a plain shirt that showed her jewelry encrusted belly button, she wore a black frilly skirt and small leather shoes; her hair was up in a high pony tail that had another accessory that matched her green necklace Robin hadn't seen her take off yet. It rested proudly in her hair it was something Robin was sure he'd seen on her before but didn't really notice.
"Ok let's get going." She said and walked over to the wall. She pressed a button and the windows opened up, she then sprinted out the door and jumped falling to the ground and landed with a thump on her feet. She stood up and looked to her friends and told them to hurry up. Naomi then turned into a raven and flew out, followed by Damon who just follow her, then Laura flew out using her wings and two jet packs appeared on his back and they all landed at the entrance of Titans Tower. Lexa and Sparky started to run out of their view as Damon, Laura, and Naomi flew.
"Uh I already know I'm a bad parent but why did you guys let our kids run off for no reason and in those outfits?" BB asked eyes glued to their kids until they disappeared from sight.
"No idea man, no idea." Cyborg answered.
-TT-
"Take about stress relief." Lexasaid as she sat at the bar with Damon drinking a pop.
"I know I guess clubbing is a way we all get our minds off things." Damon said.
"I guess considering this is the only club that still open. Where else would all these spoiled kids go?" She said.
"Lexa, Damon move your butts onto the dance floor and move your butts!" Sparky yelled. Lexajust smiled shook her head and walked out onto the dance floor and started to dance in a circle with her friends.
"Uh hey would you like to dance?" Lexa turned around to see a guy her age who sounded completely down to earth. She walked off and they started to dance and then the strobe light turned out highlighting their every movement.
"My names Jacob and I obviously know your name, Lexa." He said.
"Nice to meet you I've never seen you around here before where are you from?" She asked.
"I'm from out of town, Metropolis to be more exact." He said smiling. He had the sweetest smile that made Lexa's heart melt a bit.
"Oh I've been there before, so why did you decide to move here, unlike Jump Metropolis is still in working conditions." She said.
"I got transferred, my Dad, Perry White got me a job at the 'newspaper'. Though it's not really a newspaper if what we print has to go through the emperor."
"Your dad is Perry White, oh my god I absolutely loved his articles, and I think I've read a few of yours they're awesome they really helped me out for research." She said.
"I'm glad to help but that really depends on what you were researching." He said.
"I was just digging up stuff on my dad, since he kind of abandoned me when I was little, and I just wanted to figure if he was the kind of person who would abandon his only child." She said softly.
"I'm so sorry and I'm just going to say in advance this will not get into the paper I promise you." He said and he just nodded.
"Why don't we just grab a drink then we can continue our conversation." She said and they walked over to the bar and got two other pops.
"You know when I first saw you I was afraid to come up and approach you from everything I've heard, but I guess I have the White's family curse of insane courage. Though now that I've had a chance to talk to you I realize your nothing like how you and your friends and viewed by the public." He said.
"I hope that a compliment." She said laughing softly. "It's true I don't get viewed fairly and neither do my friends, we don't work for Slade willingly, we made a deal with him we keep our lives and in exchange we help keep law, it's not that we like it it's because every day that were alive there's more chances to notice a flaw in the system so we can finally take him down."
"But you've killed so many people, Dr. Beret confirmed it." He said. She just smiled and shook her head freaking him out at why she was smiling.
"I haven't killed anyone, there this technique I know that gives the victim the look as if they were dead, and Dr. Beret he'll let them go once the awake. I only use this technique because if it doesn't seem like you're dead the Slade Bots will kill you." She said and he just nodded, somewhat understanding what she was saying.
"So are you really dating Grant Wilson?" He asked almost sad about it.
"He wishes... Grant and I have a strained relationship to say the least." She answered simply.
"And what about Ibn Wayne I heard you guys were dating too?" He asked.
"Same thing with Grant too."
"And would you even think about giving me a chance?" He asked sort of blushing in a boyish way.
"I don't think so." Jacobs's eyes went wide and that's when she noticed that the entire room had gone silent.
"There is only room here to two guys to fight over Lexa and I'm one of them." Grant said from behind her.
"Uh, sorry Lexa I gotta go!" He then ran out of the place quicker than a jack rabbit.
"Can't I just have 4 hours away from you and Ibn is that really too much to ask?" She complained.
"Not when a guy is hitting on you." He stated. She looked at him and then down at his clothes, just a simple black shirt and jeans though it looked so hot on him. She got off her stool and walked over to Damon to help her get some back up on trying to get Grant to leave just as Sparky and Naomi went and sat down at the other end of the bar and were watching Damon, Lexa, and Grant argue.
"I bet ten bucks this ends with Lexa storming out of here." Sparky said.
"You're on, Grant kisses Lexa before she can storm out." Naomi stated.
After several minutes off watching them argue Grant finally pulled into a forced kiss. Naomi punched her hand and silently cheered but Sparky just tapped her on the shoulder and told her to look to Lexa who was storming out of the building after successfully slapping him.
-G&D-
"Why is it that every time I kiss her she slaps me? What am I that bad of a kisser?" Grant asked the air, and Damon slapped his hand to his head and walked over to a booth where Laura was playing cards with some dude.
-N&S-
They went through their money and handed each other ten bucks and then placed them back in their wallets. A few moments later they both started laughing hysterically realizing that they didn't need to exchange the money.
"You know for a green girl you're pretty cool." He joked.
"For a black guy you're pretty cool too." She joked back.
They both stared at each other for a moment then their eyes met. Naomi knew how wrong it was to be doing that but she also knew that it felt so right. Their faces near closer and closer with each passing second till their lips met and stayed there for a good 10 minutes till they pulled away and they both turned away from each other embarrassed and scolding their hormones for causing them to do that.
"Let's never mention that again." Sparky said.
"Agreed." Naomi said half heartedly and then jumped off her seat and ran out of the building searching for Lexafor advice. Sparky looked over at Laura and Damon who were staring at him with an eye widening and jaw dropping shock. They instantly turned away noticing that Sparky was no staring at them in a not too friendly way.
-D&L-
"You just saw what I saw right?" Laura asked softly.
"Sparky and Naomi making out and then Naomi ditching, yeah I saw it." He said back.
"I guess it was inevitable. We should've seen that coming a long time ago." Laura said knowing that Naomi and Sparky were practically made for each other.
"I guess I just could never wrap my head around Naomi and Sparky as a couple. It was more like Naomi and Sparky as best friends." He said.
"I know but I'm not sure this is the greatest of things to be goingon right now with the whole, Lexa Grant thing, and then the Lexa Ibn thing too, and let's not forget the Grant Ibn rivalry. I haven't begun to think what could happen know that Robin and our parents are back."
"I've tried to think about that but I figure there are too many possibilities and I should just see what happens." He said.
"Yeah, still Naomi and Sparky. It's like looking for a lost earring and you realize it's been in your ear the entire time. So obvious yet it isn't."
"Where do you think Naomi went?" He asked.
"Probably to find Lexa because when it comes to complicated relationships she's the expert."
"I wouldn't call her an expert since she can barely keep together her own relationships without completely letting them topple over." Damon said clicking his tongue.
"Like the Tower of Pisa it's always leaned but it never fell." She said. "It's too bad we couldn't see it before Slade demolished it."
"It only gets worse because Lexa tends to attract the type of guys who'd rather go murder someone or rule the world than stay at home all day playing video games while making perverted remarks."
"She's got her mother's genes; I recall hearing that Red X had a huge crush on Starfire when they were young." Lauren said. "Robin was always fuming when he hit on Starfire."
"I remember hearing about X, isn't he living in Gotham now doing petty crimes like stealing from old hot dog stands just too eat?" He asked.
"Yeah… I think... I'm not really sure; all I know is that he stole the suit from Robin."
"What did Robin even use the suit for, I was going through all the old case files done by Cyborg and Raven, about 24 files at the least, they all coincided with each other and all the contents of the files are gone. I mean the files are still there but its data everything in it, just gone." Laura looked at Damon curiously. Whoever deleted those files obviously didn't want those files getting into the wrong hands, but all they could do was wonder, why?
-R-
"Rob man, the files they're gone." Cyborg said while going through the Titans database.
"What do you mean gone?" Raven asked looking up at the screen.
"Someone took all the data in the files but left the files their empty like they wanted us to know that they had taken the files." Cyborg explained trying to somehow retrieve the files.
"So some person out there, friend, enemy, or maybe even civilian has enough evidence to turn the world upside down and we don't even know who it is?" Robin asked fuming while Starfire attempted to calm him since she was the only one who could.
"All I know is the date that the files were taken." Cyborg said as he clicked a few buttons and a date appeared on the screen.
"No way." BB stated.
"Same day we left at down to the same exact second." He said.
"So someone has been holding onto this information for that long?" Robin asked.
"Guess so the good thing is there's not really any reason to worry about it since the world has already been reduced to a quivering mess." Cyborg said bitterly.
"Still when we get back we're going to have to deal with this, and I would prefer to know a head of time." Robin said crossly.
"If we get back…" Beast Boy stated softly saying what everyone was thinking.
"If…"
A/N: Realities starting to come into play as we remember that the Titans will eventually have to go back to their own time, but how? I personally loved adding that part about the files in, I'm still deciding if I should go further into that in this story or another, tell me what you think, R&R. *Spoilers* Oh and I almost forgot to mention, Sparky and Naomi! I had been debating if I should put them in as a couple, and I did for the reason of how BB and Cyborg are going to react to it. Robin and Lexa's okay relation ship isn't goingto last much longer, with the whole files. Trust me if I were Lexa (which I am not) I wouldn't be to keen on the fact that my parents are keeping major parts of their lives from me. Now that I think about it the files will be part of the story but the content of these files are need to know info which means only I can know since their pretty much the plots to every single fanfiction I'm going to write. And yes The Star in the Dark story is in those files, because like I said I use references from my others stories and use that to rope them together and my next fic The Crimeside which might not be coming out for a while is in those files too. To see a better sumarry for The Crimeside check my profile.
