I know, I know. You don't want another update on THIS story. You want me to write about Eternity. Well, PSHAW! I have a very small writer's block on that one. I know where I'm going, and I know what I want to say. I just don't know how to get there. But, until I do, I will continue to bore you with my attempt at an evil plot.

Have fun, there are several questions answered, and many more arise because of this excelent turning point in a badly writen scene. I didn't like the way it turned out, but the artist never enjoys his own paintings.

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING!

"Smart, he only would have gotten hurt." Slade walked up to her and he placed a hand on her cheek. She shivered, and felt like crying at his touch, but she stood firm. "I know about your secret. Or should I say our secret?" He spun her so that her back was too him, and put his hand on her waist. "How does it feel to be the mother of greatness?"

"How does it feel to be scum?" She flung back, breaking free of his hold.

"But that would make you the mother of scum, and I'm sure that's not what you want."

"What?" She breathed heavily, backing away from him.

"Surely you didn't think that bracelet was just for tracking you? I would have implanted a chip, or other such lower technology, in your hand. That would have been easier."

"But, what is it for then?" She put her other hand around the wrist with the bracelet.

"Genetic mutation." He walked towards her, grabbing her waist again. "This little one," He put a hand on her stomach. "Isn't ours, more than it is me."

She pulled free again, walking up to Robin. She looked into his mask; she wanted so badly to pull him out of time to be with her, to help her. Instead she just whispered, "How is that possible?" knowing that if she were to let anyone save her, she would never know the truth.

"Simple genetic mutation. The child is now part of both of us, but soon, because of the bracelet, he will be me, with only a small bit of you." With this he pulled out a syringe that had a blood sample of some kind stored in it. "When he is born I will take him back as my own. I will raise him to be exactly like me. But with one difference, he will live forever, because of you." He grinned at her, and continued. "Because of that small bit."

She stood in shocked horror. He was using her to clone an immortal self.

"The transformation will be complete in your sixth month." His mask seemed to mock her. "Plenty of time for you to get used to the idea."

"But what if I got rid of the baby?" She asked, never intending to follow through.

"The bracelet would send a large shock coursing through your veins that would probably kill you." He revealed in a deadpan tone. "And we know what that would cause." He then grabbed her forcefully by the wrist, injected the liquid into the bracelet.

"What makes me so special!" She yelled. But he was gone. She hung her head and walked quietly over to her bed. She lay down on her back, put both her hands on her stomach and began quietly sobbing.

After a few minutes she blinked, letting the world around her resume it's goings on. Robin shook his head and then spun around looking for her and Slade. When he saw her lying on the bed, he stopped and walked over to her. "What happened? Is Slade gone?"

"He'll never be gone." She sat up and looked at him with her small blue eyes. She didn't know how to tell him that she was going to extend the life of his arch enemy to "All of eternity". She wanted more than anything to pause the world again and be safe and alone for a while. But she thought better of it. How was she to learn to trust them if she was running away all the time?

"What's wrong?" Robin asked, sitting down next to her.

"I… He… The bracelet…"

"What bracelet?" He looked at her in confusion. Her only answer was to put her hand out in front of them, and stare at it.

"I never noticed that. What's wrong with it?" He asked, lifting his masked eyes to her face.

She told him what she knew, and what Slade had told her. She was still in a state of shock from his words. How can he do this! No one can be immortal! This can't happen! But she knew it was possible, his technology and her powers made it possible. Well, I know it's a boy. She thought, and then smiled a little. Robin was still processing the information.

"I know now why I was left at that street corner. I know why he doesn't try to hurt you guys when he is here." She whispered quietly. Robin seemed to be adding this to the information she had already given him, trying to process it all.

"We'll protect you. Therefore we are protecting him. He knew that would happen. He knew that we would take care of you." Robin was finally getting the point.

She didn't feel like she deserved friends like this. He was accepting this fact. He didn't want to kick her out. He didn't suggest abortion, and he was only concerned for her. "We have to get that bracelet off."

Eternity: So... Did you get Beast Boy's head out of the toilet?

Yes. Now go and work on writing your story.

Eternity: But I like it here.

So? I need you over there.

Eternity: Oh well. To bad. I'm here. Can't change it.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
