Chapter 10- (OMG WE REACHED 10 CHAPTERS!)
Teen Titans Time:
"So, what do you think we'll see next?" Beast Boy asked and chomped on some Chicken Nuggets from Chick-fil-a, which had been delivered a few minutes ago.
Robin shrugged. "No clue, we've pretty much seen everything that I can think that's interesting." He shrugged once more and bit into a wrap. Beast Boy frowned, the idea of leaving somewhat bothered him. He wanted to see more and by the looks on everyone else's faces neither did they.
Starfire looked somewhat deflated by the thought.
Cyborg simply frowned, as did Raven. Robin was staring at the floor with no expression on his face, hoping that they would be leaving.
The screen suddenly flickered to life. Everyone looked up, surprised.
Robin and Kid Flash were in some special room. There was a yellow core centered in the middle, so large that it seemed to have it's one gravitational pull. Kid Flash, Miss Martian and Robin, as well as Martian Manhunter, were there.
"Where is everyone else?" Cyborg asked.
Robin didn't respond and the team turned to stare at him.
He glared at them in return but finally sighed. "Dead, they're all dead,"
"But-"
"Just watch," was the simple interruption.
They turned back toward the screen, now completely absorbed.
Thy were hiding behind a block as some type of floating weapons moved around.
"Aliens," Robin said bitterly as he remembered the situation.
Robin was on his holographic computer. "This is the power core. Blow this and the whole mother ship blows." Robin stood up and jumped over the block of concealment. They all moved and began to run or fly toward it.
"They're…taking over the earth. But…I don't remember this…" Cyborg trailed off as he noticed Robin's narrowed mask. Beast Boy frowned, he would remember this too.
Robin jumped on some sort of shelf and the gravitational pull began to pull him in. The thirteen year olds eyes widened. His cape fluttered and he tried to walk away but it was too strong.
"Dude…" Beast Boy muttered.
Kid Flash appeared and grabbed his hand but they both fell toward it. Robin took out his grappling hook and shot it, it wrapped itself around another shelf. They stayed there as Robin simply kept hold of the gun handle. Kid Flash had his hand around Robins ankle.
"How'd you get out of this?" Cyborg asked. Robin didn't answer.
Raven frowned, something wasn't right.
An alien weapon appeared but Miss Martian and Martian Manhunter took it out, landing on the shelf. Miss M let the grappling hook go telepathically and let Kid Flash and Robin land silently but surely on the power core.
Everyone sighed in relief, minus Robin. Who watched blankly.
Robin took off the explosives that had been around him and turned on his holographic computer.
"You knew," Kid Flash said, staring at Robin, who turned slightly. "You knew why we were really here."
"Four minutes, let's go." The boy simply replied.
"You knew you were going to-" Starfire began but was cut off.
"Die? Yeah, it was something I has long since come to terms with." Robin said and stared at the floor. "Since when?" The green eyes alien asked. Everyone turned, waiting for an answer.
"Since I was nine."
They stared at him in shock but turned back to the video.
The explosives began to blink red and beep uncontrollably.
The screen now switched to doors closing and Kid Flash stopping, watching them close. His exit now disappearing in a flash. Such a cruel, ironic statement.
"Perfect," He thought and turned around, hearing metal clinking and Robin running up behind him. Three alien weapons came into view and began charging up. It shot at them and they all dodged, going in completely different directions.
"That isn't good…" Raven said, eyes glued to the screen. Much like Beats Boy was when he played video games but with less drooling.
The screen focused on Robin and Kid Flash which had blasts going by them. "Sixteen seconds and counting!" Robin exclaimed.
Everyone blinked.
"Man!" Kid Flash exclaimed. "Manhunter, take Miss Martian and go!" Robin demanded. "NO!" M'gann exclaimed and looked distraught. "We won't leave you!"
"That's an order! We'll follow as soon as we blow those doors!"
"Your lying," Raven said. Robin looked at her and frowned.
Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire were staring at the screen. Who was that boy up there. Sure, their leader would do the same but…still. He was so different.
Manhunter and Miss M went intangible and went through the floor.
Robin's timer cam back on screen. 1:00.9

Robin put down his screen. He looked at Kid Flash, who looked dangerously murderous. KF nodded and Robin took out birdarangs and they both ran out, throwing, running and simply attacking.
"You're-" Starfire muttered, but let the rest fall away, watching the clip with utter interest.
Then, the full view on the mother ship came onto the screen. Then an explosion, then another, and another until…
BOOM!
The entire thing went up, killing the two boys.
"You sacrificed yourself…" Starfire said and wiped a tear away, thinking that Robin had to go through that at the young age of thirteen. He accepted dying at nine…but dying at that age…
Miss Martian and Martian Manhunter appeared, coming from the ground.
"Whoa, how'd they do that?" Guess who said that.
"Intangibility you idiot!" Raven exclaimed, snapping at the boy.
They watched the fiery explosion.
"Don't tell me the misson was a success. The price was to high-"
Everyone nodded, thinking the same thing.
Robin smiled slightly at his team members and friends.
A shadow passed over them and they looked up.
…
Another mother ship.
"What!" Beast Boy exclaimed, jumping up. He looked furious. "No, that can't…he didn't just die for nothing…you didn't just die…" He looked down and then glanced at Robin, wondering how he was alive. How they were alive. Did this really happen?
Cyborg frowned and he stared at Robin. He couldn't have just died for nothing. Could he? The hybrid looked over at Starfire, who had tears running down her cheeks. Raven was glaring at the mother ship with all her hatred poured in. She looked pure evil and he swore he could see darkness forming around her.
"No, no, no, no…" M'gann thought, stepping forward. "We have to get out of here, now!" She warned Manhunter, turning on him, eyes wide.
"No. Duh." Raven said, not noticing the glare from Robin. Well, either that or she ignored it.
"No, we have to end this…now." And then the Martian grabbed her and punched her in the stomach. She began to cry from the shock and a spike appeared from her back.
"Wait? Beast Boy asked. "What's he doing?"
M'gann's crying face appeared on screen and then…it switched to her, waking up.
"Wait, what?"
She sat up and looked around. There was Robin, Wally, Artemis, Kid Flash, and Aqualad.
"Robin, what's going on?" Starfire asked.
"It was a simulation. A test. They'll explain it." He replied. She nodded and turned back toward the screen.
She sat up and looked around completely.
"Your all alive!" She exclaimed, smiling slightly. The screen turned to Robin, who wore a black shirt and blue sweater. He was sweating and his sunglasses were on. He looked confused, as if someone just woke him from being asleep for a few years and were telling him everything. Well, that, or that the fact that he thought he was dead.
He looked so devoid on any emotion.
Everyone- minus Robin -frowned.
Martian Manhunter and Batman stood behind him. Manhunter gripped his forehead. "What happened back there?" Batman asked, putting a hand on the Martian's shoulder.
"The…exercise…it all went wrong," The man said.
"Exercise?" Robin asked in disbelief.
"Try to remember," Batman said. "What you experienced was a training exercise. Manhunter psychically linked the six of you within an artificial reality. You all knew this going in-"
Everyone's face dawned on what happened. Raven figured out what happened with Miss M and frowned. She had nearly doomed them all.
"-What you didn't know is that it was a trained for failure exercise-"
"That sucks…" Cyborg muttered.
"-no matter what the team accomplished, the scenario was designed to grow worse-"
"That really sucks…" Beast Boy muttered, staring at Robin.
"-still, you were aware nothing was real. Including the deaths of the entire Justice League."
Manhunter stepped up. "That is why you hardly grieved. Even when wolf was disintegrated before your eyes. But all that changed when Artemis died."
Wally onscreen frowned and he looked at the blonde archer, who was staring at the floor.
"Though consciously Miss Martian knew it was not real, her subconscious mind could not make that distinction. She forgot it was only an exercise and he subconscious took control making all of you forget too."
"Dude, that really sucks!" Beast Boy exclaimed, standing up. "I mean, you all really thought you were dying…failing…" Cyborg nudged him and pointed toward Robin, who was lost in memories staring at the floor.
"I...I'm so sorry!" M'gann exclaimed.
"This isn't her fault! Why didn't you stop the exercise!" Superboy exclaimed, staring at Manhunter. "We tried, but M'gann had a death grip on the scenario. Even Artemis, who would have awakened upon her death was so convinced she had passed that she slipped into a coma."
Raven shook her head. To much raw power from the Martian.
"Dude…" Beast Boy muttered.
"I realized I would have to risk control from Miss Martian's subconscious from within."
"That would be hard." Raven muttered, putting the pieces together.
"But upon entering I was overwhelmed-"
"Whelmed…" Robin muttered. "Why aren't you just whelmed…"
"-with your emotion. There was to much…noise to think clearly. To remember why I was there. The deaths of Aqualad and Superboy helped. But only when the mother ship exploded and Robin and Kid Flash were silenced-"
They flinched. That word….
silenced.
"-my mind was clear enough to remember my true purpose. To shock M'gann out of the exercise. Before your coma's became permanent."
Robin winced. Being in a coma would be the worst thing for him. So close to seeing his parents…yet so far away.
"My apologies. I had no idea a training exercise could be so dangerous…"
"…so damaging."
And the screen went black.
"That was…bad." Starfire said. "Star, that was the understatement of the year." Cyborg said, staring at her. "Robin, are…you alright?" Raven asked. Everyone else looked up. Robin was staring at the floor, thinking. He looked up suddenly, after a few moments, as if he had only just heard her.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Just lost in thoughts. I never got to ask…" His voice trialed off as he wandered into his thoughts again.
"Another clip, I hope that this one isn't as…"
"Disturbing?" Raven offered to the green skinned boy. He nodded. "Yeah, disturbing." He muttered and shivered.
The screen showed Robin, Speedy and Kid Flash.
"I am uber bored. Wanna go do something?" Kid Flash asked and the suddenly disappeared, reappearing in regular clothing.
Robin stared at him and then brightened. "I have an idea!" He cackled and Wally and Speedy, now Roy Harper, shared a glance. "Uh, I don't want to know. Never mind. Last time you had an idea and we were bored; we made a list of ways to kill each League member five times should the go rouge. Uh, not thanks!" Wally exclaimed.
"You did that?" Cyborg asked in disbelief.
Robin snickered and nodded. "Yeah, five different ways. Except from Martian Manhunter. Martians can really only be killed one way. So we figured five different scenarios for it," was the reply.
Cyborg turned back toward the screen, wide eyed.
Robin snorted and he turned to Roy. "Come on, admit it. You guys didn't even know there were that many ways to kill Superman!"
Neither boy replied, thinking of the fifteen ways to kill Superman. Who knew.
"That's what I thought."
Raven rolled her eyes. "You're snarky, aren't you?"
Robin shrugged. Yeah, probably.
Roy sighed. "Alright, what's your idea Dick?"
"Ding Dong Ditching."
"You are not going to do that, are you?" Beast Boy squeaked and turned to face Robin, who had a poker face on.
Starfire, on the other hand, was trying to figure out what Ding Dong Ditching was. Cyborg leaned over and quickly explained it to her. She nodded in understanding and then laughed at the thought of Robin doing that.
"That actually not a bad idea…" Wally said and turned to Roy who didn't looked to skeptical about it. Dick grinned. "Oh yeah, and I know the perfect house!"
"Alright, one house though-"
"Three actually. Yours, mine, and Wally's." Dick grinned, pleased with himself. Roy looked at Wally, who stared at Dick, who grinned at Roy.
"I say we do it," Roy said, a grin creeping up on his face. Wally frowned and then shrugged, smiling as well. "Heck why not!"
Raven groaned, this was not going to go over well.
Robin was trying not to smile.
"Sweeet!" Dick cackled, dragging out the 'e' and he grinned. "I'll take my bike, KF'll run and Roy will follow on his bike. Wally's first. Is your Aunt Iris there?" Dick turned toward him and frowned, shooting him a look that said 'She better be there.'
"You look so evil," Beast Boy said, staring up at the younger Robin.
Robin, the older one, rolled his eyes.
Wally held his hands up in defense. "I'll call and tell her-"
"Don't. We don't want her to suspect anything. Dick, you sure Alfred won't answer the door?" Roy asked. Dick grinned.
"Positive. He's in England right now, I made sure-"
"How did you make sure?" Cyborg asked. Robin shrugged. Cyborg shook his head and turned back toward the screen.
"-and everything. Come on. I really want to go!" He grinned and took out some keys, running toward the garage. Wally looked at Roy, seeming mildly confused. "He's thirteen. How does he have a motorcycle, drive it, and do it legally?"
Roy stared after Dick and then turned to Wally.
"No, clue."
Suddenly, two flashes of light appeared and left, in their place, Wally and Jinx, the older ones. "Hey guys!" Jinx exclaimed. Wally grinned. "Sup, what'd we miss?"
And then, once more, they were overwhelmed with the clips running through their heads.
Jinx grasped her head and then turned to Wally. "I just…I just saw you and Robin die…" She muttered. Wally blinked and then looked at her. He grabbed her wrists and pulled her close. "It was fake," He muttered and then kissed her on the lips. She smiled and nodded before the two turned toward the screen.
"My…eyes," Beast Boy muttered, shooting Robin a sideways glance, thinking of when he had seen Wally and Artemis kiss. Robin rolled his eyes beneath the mask.
"Ready to continue?"
"Yep!"
The screen now showed Dick, Roy and Wally speeding down the road toward Central City. Dick and Roy were obviously racing and Wally was going half speed next to them, enjoying it very much.
"You guys are slow," he muttered and then zipped off.
"I'm killing him later. You want to help?" Dick asked Roy.
"Sure, we can have sandwiches later."
"Sweet. With marshmallow fluff?"
"And peanut butter. Yeah."
"I feel oddly uncomfortable on how you guys are discussing killing me," Wally said dryly but jokingly. Robin smirked and turned away, still grinning.
"Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff? What's that?" Beast Boy asked, looking between the two.
They turned to stare at him, stunned.
"How do you not know what that is?" Wally asked.
Beast Boy shrugged.
They dropped their vehicles in the woods, meeting Wally there, who was eating a granola bar, and then walked the rest of the way into Central City. Of course, Wally's house was on the other side of town, so they would have to walk the rest of the way.
"Wally?" A girl's voice said.
Jinx frowned but then grinned.
Wally groaned and turned around, Dick and Roy both turned around, confused as well.
Wally groaned.
"Wally is that you?"
"Jenna, hey. What are you doing here?" Wally asked, rather grimly. A girl appeared. She was wearing shorts and a striped t-shirt and chucks. "Hey! I'm going home! Oh, who are these people?" She stared past Wally and at Dick and Roy.
Robin scowled.
"Uh, Jenna, this is Richard and that's Roy-"
Roy stepped forward and shook her hand, being very polite. "Pleasure to meet you. How do you know Wally?" He shot said boy and look when he said this. A look that said, 'This better be good.'
"Oh! Wally and I are in Algebra 1 together! Well, by Wally! Nice seeing you and meeting you guys!" She giggled and walked away.
"I didn't even say anything." Dick said, shrugged and turned away. Roy rolled his eyes and then they continued walking. "Jenna is the most annoying and giddy person I've ever met." He groaned.
Jinx snickered. She sure was opposite of 'Jenna'. Wally looked over and grinned at her expression.
"Why did she come to talk to you?" Dick asked, he sounded slightly disgusted, but was grinning.
Wally shrugged. "I don't know."
"I mean, why would anyone from your school want to talk to you?" He went on.
Wally looked at him, not impressed. "I don't know. Why would anyone in your school talk to you?"
"Oh, they don't talk to the orphaned circus freak. I'm a loner. Come on, hurry up!"
"Orphaned circus freak?" Raven asked as the team turned to face him. Wally frowned and looked at Robin. Robin stared at Raven and shrugged. "I was the orphaned circus charity freak," He shrugged. "Not that I cared what they called me."
Raven frowned and turned away. That must have sucked.
Roy and Wally looked at each other and shrugged, then the scene went black.
"You should have said something!" Jinx exclaimed, glaring at Wally.
"What was I going to say!" He said, putting his hands up in defense.
"Something nice!"
Wally blinked. "Oh… right."
She rolled her eyes.
The screen now showed a nice neighborhood. The houses were practically cookie-cutter. Except one house, who had a beautifully cut out garden and stone designed walkway. Pink and white and blue flowers grew up front and a rose bush was on a trellis on the side of the house. A nice fence went around it. Roy smiled at Wally when he saw the house.
Dick just stared at it.
"Why are you staring at it?" Cyborg asked, not thinking.
Robin's fists clenched and he said nothing. Wally stared at him warily.
"Dick, you okay?" Wally asked. Dick looked up and nodded, but something was bothering him. "It's just… it's just what could have been." He muttered. Wally nodded.
"Oh," Cyborg said, not looking at him. Starfire frowned and put a hand on Robin's shoulder. He didn't respond to her touch as he stared at the floor.
Roy looked at Dick sadly and ruffled his hair. "Come on, let's have some fun." Roy said and grinned, attempting to lighten the mood. It worked and Dick turned to him, grinning as well. "Yeah, Wally will-"
"Yep!" He grinned. "I can't wait to Aunt Iris's face!"
Jinx rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, come on." Dick said. The all quickly snuck up the lawn. It was getting darker and Dick was feeling comfortable, his fowl mood now washed away as he and Roy hid behind a bush. Wally snuck up and quickly rapped on the door. Suddenly, he was next to he and Roy.
The door opened and a lady with red hair and green eyes like Wally stood there.
"Hello?"
"I can't believe you guys actually did it!" Jinx exclaimed and looked at Robin and Wally. Robin shrugged and stared at the screen while Wally grinned sheepishly and chuckled. Starfire giggled at the look on Dick's face.
"Anyone there?" she asked. Iris shook her head and closed the door. Wally, Roy and Dick snickered. "Do it again!" Dick encouraged. Wally shrugged and quickly rapped on the door once more before speeding back over to the bush.
The door swung open. "If this is a joke," She growled and began walking out to look around. They stopped laughing as she neared the bush. Dick just grinned and slunk into the shadows. Roy cursed and quickly began backing into the backyard. Wally sped away before she could see him.
"And you guys didn't plan anything?" Beast Boy asked. Robin shook his head. Starfire frowned and she imagined Dick sinking into the shadows, much like Raven (who was thinking about the same thing) and her frown deepened. Just like that and he was gone.
Iris frowned and moved away, back into the house.
The boys met back up again and snickered. "Her face was one of pure fury… let's do this again sometime," Wally snickered. Roy rolled her eyes.
So did Jinx and Raven.
"Roy then frowned. "We won't be able to do my house, there's a big party going on there tonight that I forgot about." He looked apologetic but neither Dick nor Wally were convinced.
"You didn't forget about it!" Dick exclaimed, crossing his arms over his chest and putting his weight on his left leg. "You don't just forget about a party? Is it a charity event or something?"
Roy looked thoughtful for a moment. "No, it's a just a real big party that Oliver is throwing. I can call if you want?" He grinned and Dick frowned.
"Fine, we'll do the manor. Come on," he muttered. And the screen went black.
"You sound so disappointed about it," Beat Boy laughed. Robin shrugged (it seemed he was doing this a lot mostly) and stared at the screen. He was frowning but then grinned when he thought about what happened at the manor.
Then the manor appeared.
O.O
"That's where you lived friend Robin?" Starfire asked, slipping into her old 'friend' way. "Yeah, it was nice too."
"I would love Gotham City I'm guessing?" Raven asked Robin, but she eyes Cyborg's and Beast Boy's faces.
"It's dark, dirty, and full of people. I'd go 1 out of 3." Robin replied. Raven nodded. Full pf People- eh, no. Dirty- she'd rather not. Dark- oh. Yes.
"Come on, we can jump the gate. I now all the blind spots. Well, the one blind spots, come on," Dick snickered and led them down the gate. He would sink into the shadows every once in awhile.
"It's scary how you can do that better than Rae!" Beast Boy shouted. Robin and Raven looked at each other and then Raven turned on Beast Boy. "Shut. Up."
"Your just jealous!" He snickered, sticking his tongue out at her. Raven growled but did nothing, keeping her emotions slightly bottled up.
Robin chuckled internally but shook his head.
"Alright, do exactly as I do," he instructed and then smirked. He began walking away from the fence and then promptly spun around. He grinned and then ran up to it, placing on foot on the stone and then a hand on the ledge. He jumped over, his feet in the air, the one hand still on the ledge. He remained there for a few seconds before he bent his elbow and sprung up, landing on the other side with a muted thump, his legs bent.
"Your turn!" He whispered loudly over the fence.
Wally turned toward Robin. "And how exactly were Roy and I supposed to do exactly what you did?"
Robin smirked but said nothing.
Roy suddenly appeared and he jumped over, his bow and quiver out, he used a grappling arrow, and he landed, more loudly, on the green grass.
"How was I supposed to do what you did?" He growled. Robin smirked. "You need to get traught-"
"Will you stop slaughtering the english language?"
"No."
"Face Roy, he won't give up." Wally said, dropping himself from the ledge of the stone fence. Dick shrugged. "It's fun. Come on! Slow-pokes!" He called. Roy rolled his eyes and followed.
"You did stop, it seems." Wally pointed out.
Robin frowned but nodded. Wally seriously needed to get whelmed. Wait, where did that come from?
They walked up to the big oak doors and Dick snickered, then, he knocked on the door and ran over, pushing Wally and Roy away.
The door opened slowly, creaking slightly and Bruce Wayne appeared. One hand was hid behind the door, where the taser was.
"Taser?" Cyborg asked.
Robin nodded.
"Hello?" Bruce asked, looking around. His eyes narrowed and he closed the door.
Dick snickered and waited a few more minutes behind the bush he found before running back up to the door.
Just before he knocked on it, it swung open. Bruce stood there, looking slightly amused. "Ding Dong ditching? Not impressed, you should be better at this." Dick stood there blankly before running off. "We've been found! Abort mission! Retreat!" He yelled and the screen went blank.
Beast Boy laughed. "That-," He sniffed, "-was funny!"
Robin grinned slightly, thinking of how Bruce had, after he came home the next day from the cave, given him tips on how to correctly Ding Dong Ditch. Best. Conversation. Ever.
"Uh! I wonder what's next!" Jinx giggled and looked over at Wally, how was staring at the floor, frowning. "Something wrong?" she asked, poking him. He turned toward her and smiled. "Huh? No, I'm fine. Just… lost in the memories." He laughed and brought her into a hug. She grinned.
Starfire looked at Robin and he rubbed her shoulder, smiling.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
She frowned. "It is nothing, I'll be fine. It is just… you are so different." She smiled sheepishly. He frowned too and looked away. "Yeah, well, life catches up to you sometimes," he replied and then smiled. "But it's all good now. Come on, I think another video in coming on."
She nodded and looked toward the screen.
The screen showed Batman and Robin. They were surround by police, obviously this was the remains of the crime screen. Civilians were restricted from entering via 'caution' tape. Robin seemed to be about eight or nine.
Robin face palmed, knowing what this was.
Batman was talking with the commissioner. Robin was next to him, staring at the dirty Gotham street.
"Can you believe it?" Someone said, pointing at Robin.
"He's nine," Someone else said.
Robin gritted his teeth.
"So young…" A police officer muttered, staring at Robin.
"It was Two-Face. He- yes Robin?" Batman looked down from the commissioner to Robin, who was tugging on his cape.
"Can we get ice cream?"
O.o
"Did you seriously just ask the Dark Knight that?" Cyborg asked, staring at Robin, who nodded. "I was craving Ice cream. Cut me some slack, I was nine."
"And just fought Two-Face!" Beast Boy exclaimed. Robin shrugged and Wally just chuckled.
Everyone stared at Robin with their mouths hanging down to the ground. The commissioner stared at Robin like he was crazy.
"Uh…."
"Please!" Robin exclaimed, practically begging.
"Is that kid crazy?" Someone whispered.
"Sure." Batman replied and everyone's mouth almost unhinged and their eyes almost popped out of their heads.
"Yes! Can I drive the Batmobile?" Robin asked, tugging on the cape again.
"No."
"But you let me drive it last-!"
"Nope, no I didn't. I'll talk to you later commissioner." Batman grabbed Robins hand and walked off to the Batmobile. "Bye!" Robin yelled, waving to the stunned people. And the screen went blank.
No one could say anything. They were laughing to hard.
And then Robin disappeared in a flash of light.
Young Justice Time:
"Man, those were some good nuggets." Wally said, stretching.
"Shut up Baywatch! Another video!" Artemis said, slapping him upside the head to get his attention. He glared at her but turned to the screen.
It showed Starfire, who seemed to be staring at something blankly.
"Haven't you ever wondered what is was like to be Robin?" Beast Boys voice said.
Robin blinked. This couldn't be good.
The camera panned out and showed Beast Boy… in Robin's costume.
Wally spit out his Dr. Pepper and laughed. "Oh. Wow. This isn't going o be good!" He laughed harder and even Artemis was snickering. M'gann shook her head but giggled at how Beast Boy looked. Connor and Kaldur exchanged quick glances. But Connor was trying not to smile.
Robin scowled and sunk lower into his chair. Nope, certainly not good.
"Well, I suppose. But Beast Boy-"
"Whoa!" Cyborg called and slowly opened the door to Robin's room. "Why are you in Robin's room? WITHOUT ME!" He laughed and slipped in. When he saw Beast Boy, however, he froze.
"Cyborg is going to put on the costume! Five bucks!" Artemis said, turning toward Wally. He nodded. "Ten bucks he stops it."
"You. Are. On."
"Uh, what are you doin'?" He asked. Starfire nodded and looked over at Beast boy. "Uh, being Robin?" Beast Boy squeaked and smiled sheepishly.
Cyborg frowned. Starfire and Cyborg looked at each other and then at Beast Boy, who grinned, and then back at each other. Then they shrugged.
And Robin groaned. Wally snickered.
The screen went blank and then showed Cyborg, who had on the domino mask (and most likely the rest of the costume) and had wind blowing in his face, as if on a motorcycle. The screen panned out to show Beast Boy messing with something and Starfire was moving the fan for Cyborg, who was, in fact, on a motorcycle.
"Ha!" Artemis laughed, putting a hand out toward Wally, who scowled. "Ten Bucks!"
He stuffed his hand into his pocket and pulled out a wallet. He opened it and pulled out a ten, handing it to her. She snatched it and nodded, thanking him with silent but mocking words.
"This is most delightful Robin!" Starfire exclaimed, beaming in Beast Boy's direction, and tilted the fan down for Cyborg. Cyborg grinned and nodded, signaling her to let go. Star complied and then giggled, flying over somewhere.
Beast Boy looked in one pocket and pulled out a modified birdarang.
Robin blinked, looking at the birdarangs design. Wally frowned as he watched Beast Boy attempt to throw it. It simply fell down.
"What are you doing?" Raven's voice said, coming from the left.
Artemis opened her mouth but Wally put a finger up to her lips.
"Don't. Say. A thing."
She smirked but nodded.
Cyborg, Beast Boy and Starfire all froze. "Uh, we are being Robin?" Starfire said, making it seem more like a question. Raven's eyebrows went up and she shook her head. "I don't want to know."
"Raven you must join us in being Robin!" Starfire exclaimed, flying around the girl in circles. "I never knew it was so much fun to have a cape!"
"Is it really fun?" Wally asked absent mindedly.
Robin stared at him blankly. "Uh, sure?"
"Swe-et."
Artemis face-palmed.
Raven watched and looked down as Beast Boy jumped up next to her, Cyborg was on the other side. "Come Rae!" Beast Boy said. "Haven't you ever wondered what it's like to be Robin?
"Jus because they have my clothes on doesn't mean it make them Robin." Robin growled.
Artemis leaned over to Wally. "Party-pooper," She muttered. Waly coughed as to cover up his laughing.
"No."
"Really? You havent?"
Raven looked down at Beast Boy and then Cyborg and then Starfire and then forward. She sighed and the screen went blank.
"What! It just can't end there!" Wally exclaimed.
"Shut up Baywatch it's continuing!"
"…Oh."
Artemis rolled her eyes in Wally's direction.
It showed Raven, Starfire, Cyborg and Beast Boy all eating around a table. It was Pizza and Raven was in a Robin costume too.
Robin face-palmed. So much for relying on Raven. Wally and Artemis both snickered. M'gann shook her head and giggled. Robin's team in the future was funny, a lot like the TV shows of Earth from Mars.
Connor shook his head and Kaldur was grinning slightly.
"Robin, may you please pass the salt?" Starfire asked, looking at Beast Boy. "Of course Robin! Here you go!" Beast Boy said and handed her the salt. Starfire beamed and dumped a bit on her pizza.
"She's ruining it!" Wally exclaimed.
"I don't know guys," Raven said, leaning back and putting her hands behind her head, her feet propped up on the table. "The mask makes me feel cool." Of course, she hadn't noticed Robin come up behind her.
Both KF and Robin grinned, both laughing. KF reached his hand out and Robin high-fived it. Artemis tried not to smile but failed when M'gann did. Kaldur shook his head, eyes focused on the screen.
Starfire, Cyborg and Beast Boy's faces all went blank as they stared at Robin.
"What?" Raven asked and then slowly turned around.
O.O
She squeaked and was suddenly by Starfire's side. Robin looked down. "Hey, cool, pizza!" He exclaimed and jumped up onto the couch. He took and piece and bit into it. His team just stared at him, the whites of the masks very wide, the black almost gone.
"Oh, gosh, I wonder how your gonna take this and you jump on the couch and take a bit of the pizza?" Wally asked, clearly disappointed.
"I don't know," Robin said and bit into the pizza. "The mask makes me feel cool too." And the screen went black.
"Does it really make you feel cool?" Artemis asked. The team turned on him, curious.
Robin looked at them incredulously. "Well, yeah, doesn't it make you feel cool too?"
Wally and Artemis both nodded instantly. Connor shrugged and M'gann seemed to have to think about it but then she nodded. Kladur shrugged as well but then gave a tiny nod. Zatanna grinned. "Heck yeah it does!" She said and smiled.
Suddenly there was a flash of light and then it was gone.
Robin stood there.
He looked slightly dazed and he grasped his head. "What the-" On instinct he pulled out his bo staff and got in a defensive position.
"Wait…" Zatanna muttered and stepped forward. "Robin!"
YJ Robin looked at her and then back at himself. "What?"
"Not you! Him!" Zatanna said.
TT Robin blinked and then straightened. "I'm in the past, aren't I?"
She nodded.
He sighed and looked at his former teammates. They stared at him, mouths hanging open. "What?" He growled.
"Your…Rob." Wally said.
"Yes."
"But-"
"Forget it. Your watching the future? Teen Titans, my team and all?" Everyone nodded. TT Robin sighed. "Great, who else saw?"
M'gann stepped toward Fifteen year old Robin. "Uh, Batman, Flash, Black-" "Wait, did you say Batman?" He asked, stepping forward. She nodded and he cursed.
"Sorry. Really? Batman? Seriously? Does fate hate me?" He growled and then looked toward the screen. "Wait, your Robin from the future, right?" Artemis asked.
"I believe we've established that." He stated. She glared at him and YJ Robin snickered. "You know what I mean. Why'd you leave?" She stared at him, as did the rest of the team. He frowned and sighed. "Life. There's a video coming on, do you want to watch it?"
Wally leaned over to YJ Robin and Artemis. "Jinx and I were right, he's like Batman, but more swag-"
"Wally!"
"Fine! What else do I say-"
"Umph?"
"Sure!"
"…."
M'gann stepped forward and smiled. "You've grown."
TT Robin's face softened and he straightened slightly. "Hardly, even Star's taller then me." He scowled at this and then frowned and shivered. "Yeah, I'm taller. Nice to see you again M'gann it's been awhile. For, most of you." He said. Kaldur, Artemis, Zatanna, M'gann and Connor all exchanged looks and then stared at the boys face, how blank it was. Wally was staring at his friend and YJ Robin was frowning but glad that he had gotten slightly taller.
"Come on, let's watch the clip."
"So, where is the district?" Cyborg asked. It showed Robin, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg all standing on the sidewalk. Robin shrugged. "I don't speak Japanese." He seemed very frustrated by this and he scowled at the ground.
TT Robin face-palmed. He knew exactly what they were going to be seeing.
"Wait, I thought you knew-" Wally began, turning toward TT Robin, who put his hand up. "I know mandarin Chinese, not Japanese."
"Oh."
"Well, we can just asked for directions!" Beast Boy exclaimed, smirking, as if no one else could ever think of this idea. He was over to a man and tapped him on the shoulder. "Uh, hi, Sir, can you please direct us to the (I don't know the name!) district?" Beast Boy asked, smiling kindly.
The man, taking no notice that the questioner was green nodded and began giving very intricate instructions.
"Your doomed, aren't you?" Artemis asked. YJ Robin opened his mouth but let TT Robin go ahead. "Somewhat. I would have preferred Beast Boys instructions then what's about to happen next."
Everyone turned to the screen, intrigued.
Beast Boy just nodded and smiled, "Uh huh, alright…cool. Thanks!" The man nodded and walked away. Beast Boy slipped up to the team and slumped over. Raven raised an eyebrow at him.
"You have no idea what he just said, do you?" Rae asked.
"Nope," Beast Boy admitted dejectedly.
"Perhaps I may be of assistance?" Starfire asked.
Robin scowled.
She walked over and saw a teenager, probably sixteen year old boy, and grabbed him and kissed him.
O.O T.T
"What is she doing?" Artemis asked. Wally's hand slapped over YJ Robin's eyes, pushing him back in his seat. YJ Robin fell back on the floor with a thump but no one took notice; they were watching the screen. TT Robin's scowl deepened and he slumped over in his chair, arms folded over his chest.
Cyborg's face= O.O
Raven's face= T.T
Beast Boys face= O.O
Robins face was practically on of pure and utter shock. His cape fluttered behind him on some invisible wind and the whites of his mask were huge.
"Your face!" Wally laughed, indicating toward both Robins, who glared at him. Zatanna frowned at Starfire. Robin was right there, or did she not care?
She kissed him for a few more seconds before letting go and speaking in rapid Japanese. The boy looked at her, dazed and then pointed in another direction. He spoke back and she grinned, slipping away.
"That poor boy!" M'gann said. TT Robin stared at her like she was crazy.
"I have found the correct way to go," Starfire said, grinning happily like she hadn't just kissed some random boy off the street in Tokyo.
"Star, what was that?" Robin asked.
"My people in instantly learn any language through lip contact! Is this not fantastic!" She exclaimed, pointing toward her lips.
"That girl, no offence M'gann, is way to overly peppy." Artemis said and Zatanna nodded. M'gann shrugged but frowned, staring at Starfire, her thoughts going along with Zatanna's slightly.
"Awesome!" Cyborg said and marched in the direction the boy pointed.
Robin's cape flopped over his, concealing his costume and he smiled grimly. "Great, Star." He muttered and the screen went black.
And then there was a flash of light. Two flashed of light.
