Hey! Sorry if it's been a while. My laptop crashed so I havn;t been able to use it. I have learned the value of backups.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this little update. Had the idea rolling around in my mostly empty head and decided it was time to pull it out.
I do not own Danny Phantom or Young Justice.
Enoy!
The battle had been going on too long but until now, no one had gotten the upper hand. Everytime the team stopped Klarion from performing the spell he was trying to cast he would yell at them and cast quicker spells to try to keep them back. Fortunately for the team, the spell he was trying to cast was very long and complicated and required lot of concentration.
Robin watched his opponent searching for some kind of pattern. Something that would help him predict the next move. But Klarion was using magic. Robin couldn't understand what he was saying let alone what would happen once he'd said it. How was he supposed to predict the Witch Boy's next move?
Then he remembered. He's read the report from the last time they fought Klarion. They had to aim for the familiar. Robin pulled out an explsive from his belt and threw it at the cat. As it went off, the cat was blown backwards.
Klarion immediately stopped the spell he had begun to cast again. He looked up at Robin with pure anger written all over his face. He started to chant something and suddenly Robin couldn't move. Klarion's voice started to echo inside his head. Soon he felt like he no longer belonged in his own body. Klarion's voice grew painfully loud and then all he saw was black.
Robin woke up on a large bed with a major headache. He slowly opened his eyes expecting to see his room or maybe even the med centre at the Cave. But when he opened his eyes he had no idea where he was. The room had windows covering the whole wall to his right with a view out to the sea. The wall in front of him, opposite the bed, was covered in news paper articles and clippings and maps and names with lines drawn between them. Whoever's room this was, they were trying to solve something.
As he got out of the bed he realised he was in diferent clothes too. Had someone changed his clothes?! No, this was all just a stupid prank. Danny would jump out any minute now and tell him it was all an elaborate joke and he would ask for any tips when he tried it on Wally, Sam or Tucker. Right?
Robin went over to the mirror that stood on the other side of the room. As he walked infront of it his face dropped. Not a joke. Robin was wearing another version of his suit, only with more green and less black. Who had designed this thing?! His mask was a slightly diferent shape too. But the thing that most caught his attention was his face. It was diferent. It looked like him but he was, older. How was this possible? Then he remembered Klarion. What had Klarion done?
Robin decided he needed some air so he slowly opened the door to the room and looked outside. It was a corridor. He slipped out and walked down to the next corner. He peered around to find another corridor. At least everywhere seemed empty. Robin weaved his way in and out of corridors and hallways until he came out in a huge open sitting room with a large curved sofa in the middle and a huge tv. Off to the side was a huge kitchen and a table. Sitting on the sofa were four teens, two boys and two girls.
The first boy seemed half metal and half human while the other boy was short and looked quite yound with green skin. One of the girls wore a purple cape wrapped around her body, her hair was also purple and she had a small red gem on her forehead. The last girl had red hair and big green eyes. They noticed him standing there and their faces lit up.
"Robin!" they all exclaimed happily. The spoke as if they were his friends. Were they? He couldn't remeber them.
"Hey man! What happened to you? One minute we were chasing down the Hive, next minute you're not there and we find you completely knocked out on the sidewalk!" The half metal teen was the one that spoke. But Robin had no idea what he was talking about.
"Yes, what was it that caused you to be the knocked out?" the girl with the red hair asked. Robin had no idea what was going on. He stared blankly at the people around him.
"Robin, are you ok?" the girl in the cloak asked.
"Um..." Before he even finished he was surprised by his voice. It was deeper than usual. He shouldn't have been surprised. This body was obviously older than his own so the voice must have cracked already. He finally recovered from the shock of hearing his new voice. "Who are you?" The teens in front of him took a step back, clearly shocked. The green boy stuttered as he spoke.
"We're your team."
Another Robin woke up on an uncomfortable bed. He could smell anticeptic in the air. It smelled like a hospital. He must be in the med centre in the Tower. He tried to remember what had happened. All he could remember was chasing down the Hive. Then all of a sudden he couldn't move. He felt like something was pulling him away from his body and then everything went black. Robin had no idea what had happened. It was so strange.
He opened his eyes and tried to get up but a hand gripped his shoulder and gently pushed him back down. He looked at the room he was in. It wasn't the medical room at the Tower. But he recognised it. It was in the Cave! He hadn't been there in years! He looked to the right to see who was sitting beside him.
"Danny?" he asked, immediately noticing how high pitched his voice was. He also noticed how young Danny looked. He was still a teenager.
"Hey Rob. How are you feeling?" Robin was feeling confused. He had no idea what was going on.
"My head hurts," he said slowly, still wondering about why his voice was diferent. Danny laughed.
"I'm not surprised. You must have hit you're head pretty hard when you fell down last night." Last night. Whatever happened to him happened last night.
"What happened?" Robin asked quietly.
"We were fighting Klarion and you aimed for his cat, nice idea by the way, but when you hit it, he got mad and started chanting. Whatever he said knocked you out. Don't you remember anything?" Robin shook his head. Then suddenly, a group of people walked in. The room was filled with their voices. "Robin!" "You're awake!" "It's good to see you up!" Robin looked around at the people in the room and recognition flashed in his eyes. Wally? Artemis? Kaldur? M'gann? Superboy? What was going on?! He hadn't seen any of them in years! What on earth was going on?!
Danny could feel Robin's confusion rolling off of him in waves as he stared at the rest of the team. Danny stood up and turned to them.
"Can you guys give us a minute please?" They looked a little shocked but nodded.
"Sure thing, Danny," Artemis said and pushed everyone out. As soon as they were gone Danny sat down and looked at Robin who was now sitting up with his head in his hands.
"Why don't you tell me how you really feel?" Robin looked up with a startled look in his eyes. "You know you can't hide anything from me." Robin opened his mouth to say something then sighed and pushed his hands into his face.
"This is going to sound really weird," he said looking up again. "I think I'm from the future."
The other Robin sat on the large sofa with the team of heroes who were apparently his team.
"How can you not remember us, dude?!" the green boy he now knew to be called Beastboy said.
"I don't know!" Robin replied. He felt so confused. He had no idea what was going on. "The last thing I remember is fighting on a roof... And Klarion! Klarion the Witch Boy! He must have done something to me!" The other four looked at each other a little concerned before all turning to looked at the cloaked girl, Raven. Her eyes widened at the sight of her team mates but then they drooped.
"Fine," she said getting up and standing in front of Robin. She sat crossed legged, floating a half meter off the floor. "I might be able to figure out if someone really did do something to you. Just don't move for a second." The girl put her hood up and closed her eyes. A black aura surrounded her and Robin. The boy made sure he kept calm. Soon the girl's aura disappeared and she opened her eyes again. She took a deep breath. "You were right."
"What do you mean?" Robin asked. The other three had dropped jaws and just sat silently watching what was about to unfold.
"I mean, someone did do something to you. To be precise, someone cast a spell the swapped your mind with the mind of your future self. That's why you don't remember us. You havn't met us yet." The room went silent. Everyone waited to see what Robin's reaction would be. It was calm, like it always was. Clearly, even though he was past Robin, Robin hadn't changed much.
"Is there any way to reverse what happened?" Raven nodded.
"I'm sure there is. I don't know it though, so I will have to do some research to find it." Robin smiled.
"Thanks."
"You are still Robin, whether past or present, therefore you are welcome to stay here until we learn how to solve your problem." The red haired girl, Starfire, said with a smile. I nodded and smiled.
"Hang on a second." The half metal teen, Cyborg, had his hand poised in the air while he thought deeply. "How old are you?" Suddenly all eyes were on Robin.
"Eleven," he answered slowly. The others all looked at each other and then they burst out laughing.
Danny and future Robin sat in the med centre in the Cave.
"The future?" Danny asked. Robin nodded. "A few days ago I would have laughed. But I can feel you're honesty. You truly believe this."
"You said you were fighting Klarion and he did something to me. I think he managed to swap my mind with my past self's mind." Danny stared at him for a minute.
"So what you're saying is, you are Robin from the future. And the Robin we know is stuck there in that future?" Robin nodded. Danny burst out laughing.
"I thought you said you could feel my honesty?!" Robin explained confused by the sudden outburst.
"I can. That's the problem," Danny replied between laughs. Robin just stared at him with a confused expresion. "I'm imaging our Robin stuck in the future in an older body!" Danny couldn't stop laughing. He was practically crying. Robin then understood what he meant. He burried his face in his hands.
"My future life is doomed."
Danny and Robin stood in the main hall in the cave with the the rest of the team, Batman and Zatara.
"I belive you're deductions are correct," Zatara said. "Somehow, Klarion managed to switch our Robin with his future self."
"Can you fix it?" Danny asked.
"Yes, but I don't know how. I will find out. It way take a few days," Zatara replied a little concerned.
"What about our Robin?" Wally asked. "He's stuck in the future! Does he even know what's going on? Is he even ok?!"
"Don't worry," future Robin said. "My team will look after him. And I'm sure Raven will figure out what happened if she hasn't already."
"Do you think there's a way we can get a message to him?" Artemis asked. "Set up a way to communicate?"
"I think I might know someone who can help," Danny replied.
"Good," Batman said immediately gaining everyone's attention. "You two go find a way to send a message. Zatara and I will search for a way to fix this. In the meantime, I have a mission for the rest of you if you're up for it." Aqualad looked between the other four members of the team who all nodded.
"I believe a distraction from the problems at hand is welcomed," he said. Batman nodded and gestured to Danny and Robin that they could leave. As they headed for the zeta beam, Danny noticed that Robin's walk was quite stiff.
"What made you so stressed?" he asked with a smile. Robin was about to reply when Zatara's voice called out behind them.
"I recommend you don't tell them anything about future events. If something happens anyone wants to change it could have diar effects on your future. And with Robin still there, goodness knows what will happen to him." Robin nodded and the two boys disappeared in the zeta beam.
Danny and Robin arrived in the basement in Danny's old home. Danny walked to the other end of the basement and pulled off the sheet that was covering the Spectre Speeder. Robin stared in awe at the machine before he noticed Danny walking up to a wall covered in weapons. The ghost boy picked up and ectoblaster and tossed it to the future boy who caught it and held it in his hands comfortably.
"Just in case," Danny said with a shrug. He turned and took a few steps towards the portal at the other end of the room but stopped and turned around. "Just try not to hit me. It hurts."
With that, the boy headed off to the portal. He flipped off the lid covering a box positioned on its side to reveal a small screen. He held his thumb on the screen before the doors slowly opened. He then walked over to the Spectre Speeder and unlocked the door. He ushered Robin inside before stepping in himself. He then shut the door behind him and headed to the cockpit. He fell into one of the sears, Robin falling into the seat beside him.
Danny then began flippin switches, pressing buttons, turning dials. Lights came on on flickered all around them before Danny finally put on hand on the steering wheel and the other hand on the aacceleration lever. He pushed the lever forwards and they plunged into a world of green swirls, purple doors and floating rocks. Robin stared around in amazement.
"I need to get you to show me around some time," he said looking around a little dazed.
"I seriously never brought you here?" Danny asked with a smirk on his face. "I need to change that."
"That might not be a good idea," Robin said his face suddenly dropping it's smile.
"Right, right! Accidentally changing the future and all," Danny said with a laugh. "I figure that when you get back to your own time you'll come and ask me. I'll just wait until then." Robin smiled.
Soon the floating rocks stopped and they started to pass floating gears. Robin stared as they pulled up outside a huge building that looked almost like a castle. Danny changed into his ghost form and got up, opening the door. Robin followed as they both exited the Spectre Speeder.
The huge double doors opened up to them as they neared the building. Danny didn't seem fazed at all so Robin asumed it was normal. He followed the white haired boy through the rooms until they came to a large room with what looked like a portal at the other end. In the middle, floated a ghost wearing a purple robe with a hood. He had a black scar across his face and he held a staff with a clock on the end.
"Ah, Daniel. Welcome. You're right on time."
"He knew we were coming?" Robin asked confused. Danny laughed.
"Robin, I want you to meet Clockwork, Ghost Master of Time. Clockwork, this is my brother Robin." Robin kind of stared a little as the ghost changed from a middle aged ghost to a child. Clockwork bowed his head in greeting. Robin eventually got over his shock and did the same.
"Now, I believe you are here for a reason."
"Yes, we need your help," Danny said stepping forwards towards the ghost who was now middle aged again. "This here is Robin from the future. Or his future self in the body of his past self. The present Robin got his mind sent to his future. We don't know how to switch them back." Clockwork's face turned serious. He then aged again to an old man with a long beard and drooping eyes.
"I have never come across this before. Moving a whole being through time and space is quite simple, but only their mind... I'm afraid I cannot help you with this problem."
"It's ok, Clockwork," Danny said smiling reasuringly. "We have a friend who is trying to find a solution. But we do have something else you can do for us."
"Anything I can do to help," the now child Master of Time replied.
"I need you to send a message." The old ghost smiled in understanding.
"And what would you like this message to say?"
"Cheer up, Robin," Cyborg said as they all sat on the long sofa in the tower. Raven was off in her room reaserching time travel. "You're in the future! Why don't you explore that future!"
"I know I would," Beast Boy said, a look on his face that said he was imagining traveling through time.
"Might want to be careful just how much future he sees," a voice said from behind them. The ffour sitting on the sofa all turned around to see who it was. Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire all sat with open mouths while Robin's spread into a huge grin.
"Danny!" he said jumping over the back of the sofa and running over to his white haired brother. Danny laughed as he hugged the little weirdo. "How did you knw to come?"
"I got a message."
So? What do you think? Can you guess who the Robin is with? Technically another crossover but I had the idea for a while.
Please review so I can see what you think.
Following is greatly appreciated too!
Until next time, my faithful followers!
