A/N: So this chapter will be more lighter then the others and in some ways also adorable featuring three of the youngest generation…
VIII. Playhouse
Garidant
The redish colored sun rose over the sky, pushing away the cold silver moon. The ebony castle started slowly to awaken, well not that most of its inhabitants needed to much of a sleep regarding the fact what they were. On the end of a hall a little green figure sneaked through the early morning darkness, the little hand gripping a nearly white one.
"Nixy, do you think that this will be such a god idea?" a soft voice whispered, a little uncertain about that what they were about to do.
"Trust me Di, I know what I do and beside that weren't you the one wanting to see Ricky and your dad?" Phoenix asked her best friend with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, sure, but I don't want to get in to trouble." Diane replied.
"Don't worry, I'm the one who come up with this idea so you won't get in to trouble and a little scolding won't get me down and beside that am I curious about the Human World." Phoenix replied, she always wanted to see the human world where her family lived for a long time, she was allowed to visit Azarath, but on Earth was she only allowed in Hell.
She knew that something really bad happened there what they parents can't forget, she felt it. From her siblings was she the one who mostly possessed her father's powers. It were her animal instincts which told her that something was not right. Sure, she also had her mother's dark powers, well according to a spell, but it was tied to her anger similarly to her inner beast. She didn't mind, her daddy was a great and really strong person according to her grandma, because only strong people were allowed to marry such powerful people as her mommy. Her trail of thoughts was broken by a little tugging on her hand.
"Nixy, are you alright?" she heard a concerned voice from beside her.
"Huh, hehe…sorry Di, spaced out a bit." she replied sheepishly.
"Huh…ok."
"Come on, the room is not far away from here and we must hurry till Brendan wakes up." Phoenix said while pulling her friend though the hallway till they reached a pair of large crimson painted doors. "Are you ready?"
"Yep." was the pink haired girl's reply before the two friends nodded at each other and pushed the large doors apart.
Earth
After breakfast went everyone they way leaving only the two Cyborgs, Teach and Robin standing in the living room. Both younger Titans knew that the older mechanical man knew what they had done looking how he was staring at them.
"So, you haven't listened to my warning to not meddle in it." Vic said.
"Why didn't you tell us what happened, we had a right to know!" Robin demanded from his place on the couch.
"And then what uncle Robin?" Tech suddenly spoke up his voice slightly angry.
"The you in our time had known what happened and then you went a screwed it up. Don't you think that it would be fun to talk with my mom every time I want? Play with my baby sister or hang out with my best friends? If you hadn't noticed on that group photo, Brendan was my best mate and Rea was also a good friend, but now I can be happy if I get to talk to them on the communicator for five minutes ad without mentioning the other Titans except my dad and a little few or Brendan blows." Tech snapped, but calmed down when his father patted him on the back.
"Ugh…is there, is there really nothing that we could do to change things?" Cyborg asked while Robin was still slightly in shock about the outburst before going on a guilt trip.
"Sadly, I doubt that they would forgive us in our time and as for yours. Neither BB or Rea would appreciate it if they get monitored 24/7 a day and would grow suspicious and I don't know how they would take it. Demon's should never be taken lightly and BB's animal genes are all already protective about her as you may have noticed since the Beast-incident." Vic replied sighing. "So you are ready to know the whole truth?"
The two nodded nervously knowing that either way they won't like what they will hear next, it was really good that Star wasn't present at the moment.
Jump City Park
A little boy around three years was floating through the large park of Jump City. He had messy black hair and bright, emerald colored eyes. His outfit stood from a red colored T-shirt with a yellow stripe in the middle and green shorts. The green eyes looked around curiously at the park, there weren't many people because most people were either at work or taking they kids to school.
"Hope, grandpa Bruce, mom and dad won't be to angry with me." he said to no one in practicular.
The boy went by the name Onyxfire seeing that his Tamarian name would be for others to hard to pounce like by the rest of his family from his mom1s side. He was the youngest son of Nightwing and Starfire. He still needed nine years to be allowed in joining the Teen Titans with his own team seeing that each Titan staid in the team till everyone of the group turns 21 before they join the Justice League. Or so his grandpa Bruce had told him whom was one of the founding members of that group. Onyx had sneaked away from home because he wanted to visit his older siblings Rubin and Storm, it was a bit boring alone at home. Sure Alfred was nice and all, but still.
Suddenly there was a great flash of light coming near from the lake and the sound of a great splash combined with two screams. Taking up all his courage flew the young half-Tamarian in the sounds direction where he noticed to girls climbing out of the water. They were about the same age as him, but looked in a way strange. One of them was fully green as was the dress she was wearing while the other had nearly white skin with pink hair and matching eyes, she wore a dark blue dress and her hair had two matching ribbons in it.
"N…Nixy…wa…was this a…also part of yo…your brilliant plan?" the pink haired girl asked glaring at the other before she muttered some strange words which dried them up.
"Hehehe…not really, but I'm only three, I couldn't have know that we would crash in to a lake." the green girl replied while scratching the back of her head before she looked around curiously. "So this is the upper world of Earth." she said.
"Erm…who are you two?" Onyx finally said catching the two girl's attention.
"Huh?" they asked in unions.
"Ah yes…uhm…sorry my name is Onyxfire Richard Grayson." Onyx said remembering that grandpa Bruce always told him to be polite.
"I'm Phoenix Logan, but my family and friends call me 'Nix' and this is my best friend Diane Stone." Phoenix introduced the two of them, but then they noticed the boy's eyes widening. "Huh, is something the matter?"
"Erm…Diane, are you in a way related to Victor Stone?" Onyx asked as he landed on the ground.
"Well of course, he is my dad after all." Di replied, hands on her hips.
"I never knew that he had also a daughter." he admitted.
"I'm not surprised, my mom left this dimension with Nixy's parents when we were still a few months old, I can only rarely see my dad and my big bro." Di admitted.
"But why, and what do you mean this dimension?"
"I don't know the full details, it is a touchy subject at home and I hate seeing my family upset so we don't ask. As for the other dimension thing we are living in a dimension where my grandpa is the king." Phoenix explained still looking around with interest.
"So, you two have never been to Earth before?"
"Only when visiting my mom, but then we never go anywhere."
"Hmm…then why don't we play together? I know some great places here in Jump City." Onyx suggested at which the two girls agreed happily.
The trio decided to spend some more time in the park playing tag as a starter by which of course everyone used they special abilities to make the game more interesting. Onyx was first surprised that Phoenix could transform herself in to animals, but seeing that he was half-alien was he not the one to comment. After being chased around either by a floating boy, a green cheetah or a pink haired witch on a floating energy disk decided the trio to visit the Jump City Amusement Park. The park got opened eight years ago and had many things in it.
"So guys, where do we go first?" Di asked the duo.
"Why don't we visit the ferries wheel?" Onyx suggested.
"I would like to try out the roller coaster." Phoenix suggested happily at which the other two sweatdropped.
"Erm…Nixy, I hate to break it to you, but we are to little to pass through there." Diane pointed out to her friend.
"Well, not if they don't see us get in." she replied evilly.
"In such cases I can really see that she is part demon." Diane thought as Phoenix transformed in o a griffin and put her on her back while Onyx floated after them, to be honest he always wanted to try out the roller coaster.
Garidant
"WHERE THE HELL IS SHE!" roared an angry voice through the halls of the ebony castle making everyone, even Trigon, clutch they hearts in fright before hurrying in to the main hall where they found an angry looking Brendan, four crimson eyes glaring, hair turning white.
"Brendan what happened?" Arella tried to ask her grandson.
"Rea, your son is scarring me." Beast Boy whispered to Raven.
"He is also your son." she answered, the two got over feeling awkward about they kids some time ago.
"I went to Phoenix's room to wake her and she was gone, the same goes for Diane." Brendan growled.
"WHAT!" everyone yelled and the demon and half-demon part scanned through the castle with they soul selves, it was true, the two girls were not in the castle anymore.
"Try searching for any trace regarding them." Trigon ordered as he headed with Phoenix, Salvyan and Crow outside to search there. Amanda, Angela and Aralla took the west wing while Raven the ost wing, Jinx meanwhile went to the kitchens while Beast Boy headed out in bloodhound form after Raven. Brendan and Rea meanwhile transformed in to wolves and started searching in the north wing.
They needed to find out where the two girls had disappeared to before they inform Beast and Raven about they disappearance.
Earth
Phoenix was happily licking at her ice cream while both Diane and Onyx seemed a little bit shaken. The rollercoaster ride was pretty intense, but also frightening at the same time. And speaking about scary things, after that were they dragged in to the Horror House which of course neither girl found frightening, well growing up in a world filled with demons can have this effect on you, and Onyx didn't dare to admit that he was a bit scarred.
"So, what will we do later?" Phoenix asked smiling.
"Is she always this energetic?" Onyx asked whispering while leaning over to Diane.
"Pretty much yes." was her short reply at which the boy shook his head. And here he thought only his mom and older sister were that active, it must be a girls thing then.
"Hey guys, will someone answer me?" Phoenix asked a bit annoyed.
"Well, we could maybe go in to the city." Diane suggested at which the others nodded enthusiastically.
"Then let's go!" Nix called enthusiastically.
"Yeah!" the other two cheered.
At the same time in the Titans tower were both Cyborg and Tech watching the two past Titans with slightly worried expressions. They knew that the truth would be to much for them, but they wanted to know. Robin meanwhile was emptying his stomach for the fourth time in the past ten minutes since Victor finished explaining. He had always know that Slade was a monster, but…but this…and then he let that bastard escape while nearly killing Raven. No wonder both his friends left the team and hated them. Younger Cyborg on the other hand went through the same mental torture, but there was also another thing. Sure, getting back to the past they could change these things from happening, but he didn't know that after getting the truth revealed if he could still look at Robin in the same way as before. Now he understood why they wanted to keep this a secret.
Suddenly the screen flashed up and a panicked looking Alfred appeared on the screen.
"Master Victor, is by any chance Master Onyxfire by you?" the old butler asked worriedly.
"No, but are you sure that the little guy is here?" Victor asked.
"Yes, he left a note that he headed for Jump City to visit his older siblings." Alfred explained just when the screen doubled and a panicked Jinx appeared on it.
"Victor, are Diane and Phoenix by you, please tell me they are." she asked in a pleading tone.
"Don't tell me those two are also missing!" Vic and Tech exclaimed in unions and to make matters worse the alarm went of.
Meanwhile in the city was Adonis making his exit out of the jewelry store with a large bag in his hands. His day went pretty well, but suddenly a light blue starbolt swished past his head. Turning around he saw three little kids glaring at him. Seeing them drew a sardonic smile to his lips.
"Well, well, well looks like as if I could meet the rest of the original Titan's runts, mostly that of that green bastard." Adonis taunted at which Phoenix let out a deep growl.
"What did you say about my dad." she hissed, her tone changing.
"You heard me kid."
"No one peaks ill about my father!" she roared before turning in to a green dragon.
"We need to help her." Diane said as she started throwing black magic at the older man while Onyx used his starbolts.
The past and current Titans arrived at the scene twenty minutes later. The street was in ruins thanks to Phoenix getting angry at which her powers reacted adding to the destruction while Diane tried to keep one eye on her friend so that she doesn't loose to much control while still fighting the bad guy, Onyx was meanwhile trying a frontal attack, but was knocked in to Diane by Adonis.
"ONYX!" yelled both Storm and Rubin in shock, starbolts cowering they hands as they eyes glowed dangerously.
"Hey, no one threatens my baby girl/baby sis!" growled both Vic and Tech when a sudden yelp from Phoenix caused them to turn in her direction.
In the moment she turned around to see if her friends were alright grabbed Adonis her by the throat. He had waited to long to take his revenge on that damned grass strain and if Slade couldn't manage to kill him of then he would kill one of his brats' anstead. But in the moment he wanted to strike black energy surrounded his hand crushing it mercilessly. Adonis cried out in pain, letting the child drop to the ground who hurried away in lizard form before everyone looked up at the sky only to spot both Brendan and Rea, the former possessing four crimson colored eyes.
"No one dares to try hurting my family." he hissed in a cold, demonic voice as Adonis's armor was ripped form him and the man was thrown defenseless against the wall, hitting it with the sickening sound of breaking bones which made everyone flinch.
"Uhuh…I think Bren is slightly angry." Nix said to Diane while Onyx shook in fear, feeling lucky that Storm never looked this frightening if really mad.
