Déjà vu

Ch. 25

Back at the tower, cyborg and control freak were currently sitting on the couch, trying to figure out what to do about the situation at hand.

"Right-no left!"

"Watch out for the-"

"Don't stop! You're gonna crash-"

A second later, the screen lit up in various colors and the words "Game Over" flashed on the screen showing the score for the round.

"Booyah!" cyborg yelled, pumping his fist that held his controller in the air. Control freak made an unintelligible noise, crossing his arms over his chest and leaned against the couch, a pout starting to form on his face.

"Ah, come on!" cyborg said, seeing the gamer villain pouting over his loss. "I won fair and square!" control freak just humphed. "Well, you did beat me at Ninja Monkey Brawl IV, so I'd say we're even," Cyborg said, trying to lift his spirits.

"Well, it is true that your skills in shooting games are lacking." Control freak reasoned, a hint of a smirk forming on his face.

"Rematch?" cyborg challenged, holding out control freak's remote control. The gamer smiled wickedly.

"Deal." He took the controller, and the two gamer nerds were about to start their rematch when Nikki's face came onto the screen.

"I see you two are working hard," Nikki joked, seeing how the two boys were trying (and failing) to hide their controllers.

"Hey! Everyone needs a good game break!" cyborg defended, and control freak nodded in agreement. Nikki just shook her head.

"Anyway, any progress?"

"Not much," Cyborg replied, typing away at the keyboard, bringing up various screens. "The remote has remained more stable since Terra went to your dimension." After a few moments, Nikki's suddenly remembered something and slapped her palm against her forehead.

"Ugh! How could I have been so stupid! God, I am a disgrace to the DC fan base-"

"Whoa! Slow down there little lady!" Cyborg said, struggling to keep up with the girl. "Now," he continued once Nikki calmed down a bit. "Tell me what you're thinking"

"Well," Nikki said, slower and calmer than before. "You know how that remote Control Freak got sent the titans to a different dimension?" both boys nodded. "Well, I just remembered that this type of dimensional travel has happened before, with the Flashpoint Paradox."

"The flashpoint what?" control freak asked.

"Paradox," Nikki answered. "The most brilliant and probably the best-animated movies that DC Studios has released, but that's beside the point. What's important is that I think I know how to get the titans back to you guys."

"Really? How?" cyborg asked, still trying to follow her.

"You know the flash, or at least his sidekick Kid Flash?" again, both boys nodded. "Well, because of his super speed, he can manipulate the speed force. Basically, he can vibrate his molecules at different frequencies."

"And this helps us how?" control freak asked, totally and utterly lost.

"Well, there's this theory in the DC Universe that there are all these different dimensions, or Earths, existing with each other. We don't see them, however, because they all vibrate at different frequencies. So the only way to get to the other Earths is to-"

"Match the frequency of the earth you're wanting to go to," cyborg finished, understanding now. Nikki nodded.

"That still doesn't explain why the remote still doesn't work even after sending Terra to you guys." Control freak added, finally following the conversation (somewhat). "Sure, it stabilized the remote, but it doesn't do anything. It must be still be tuned into your frequency since it was easy to send her over." Control freak made a good point. All three teens mulled it over for a while.

"Maybe the remote was somehow reset when after Terra came?" Nikki suggested. Cyborg thought about this, not really considering this option until now.

"That is a highly likely probability." He said, picking up the object of interest that was sitting on the armrest of the couch and examining it. "It was programmed to send five titans to a different dimension, and when it couldn't take me it probably went into a hibernation state because not all five 'titans' went through."

"And the remote was able to send Terra over because she technically is (still) a titan and the remote recognized her as one." Control freak added. "Since she was the fifth, and last, titan it was initially programmed to send, the program then was reset, causing the frequencies and other software installed on it to reset as well. We just now have to figure out your earth's and this earth's frequencies to program into the remote."

"That," Nikki said, sighing slightly. "Is easier said than done."

So, I updated!

I would have updated sooner but I was busy with finals, packing, and moving with my friend to stay with her for the summer. I also had trouble explaining this whole remote, so I hope it makes sense!(i've been watching a lot of Flash :))

I am also working on fixing my grammar on all my chapters, so that's taking some time! But it's for a good cause! Still love to read your reviews! Keep them up!
