A visit to the future

Everything went normally for the Teen Titans. It was just another day for the young teens, getting up to eat, waiting for the crime alarm, and then defeating the villain on duty.

The team consisted of 5 members but perhaps in the future there would be more members according to the mysterious statement by Dick Grayson alias Robin.

These 5 members were neither more nor less than Dick Grayson himself, Batman's previous assistant until recently. The boy was then considering dropping the name Robin, to use his own superhero alias after his separation from Batman, but he hasn't had a good idea yet, so until he finds a good name he would still be Robin.

Another member of the team was Garfield Mark 'Gar' Logan alias Beast Boy, ex-member of the Doom Patrol, a little-known team of superheroes, separated from the group for personal reasons, however he still keeps the costume of his previous team due at the high monetary cost of the suit, thanks to its ability it changes forms.

Beast Boy was sitting in the big lounge chair playing video games with his best friend on the team, Victor Stone aka Cyborg, a resident of Jump City, who until recently was just a normal teenager. He was on his football team and was going to be awarded a scholarship until a tragic accident that did not leave him unharmed, on the contrary, he was on the verge of death. His father saved his life shortly thereafter at the cost of much of his human organs, both of which have grown quite apart since then.

In the kitchen of the titan tower was Star Fire or Koriand'r in Tamaranian, she was trying to cook again for the misfortune of the other titans, of course her cookies were delicious but well ... not everything she cooked was good. She was preparing traditional baking from her planet Tamaran, but the reason for her current joy was because today was Tamaran Blorthog's holiday, a festival of friendship.

Not far from the kitchen was Rachel Routh aka Raven, she was levitating on the floor with a book on witchcraft in her hands, she was the daughter of an inter-dimensional demon named Scath or Trigon. So she had resigned herself to always being alone until she met the Titans, deciding to enjoy the time she still has with it before Trigon came to earth and destroyed it as she did with her former home, Azarath.

Descending in the elevator a very tired Dick Grayson, who had received a call from Batman the previous night and ended up breaking any ties that still tied him to his former master, he just knew that Batman would be very angry the next time he was. See, and all this because somehow Batman found out about the raid that he did to Deathstroke, which to go unnoticed by the underworld of Jump City was called by his first name, Slade. But of course Batman would realize all this, even with the false nickname that he used in the city Batman would realize, not for nothing was the best detective in the world.

Now he had a headache because Batman sent his replacement into town, now he had to deal with that annoying boy, Jason.

But as soon as I go down to the first floor of the tower the crime alarm went off, at least it could de-stress hitting the villain on duty as long as he isn't some villain that could cause him a headache like Duela, or Wally trying to stop a thief and causing more disaster than he should have as in his days in Young Justice.

"Titans …" Robin very tired according to the other titans. -...Attack...-

And all the team left towards the museum.

In the meantime...

At the Jump City museum a man in golden armor and strange gadgets was searching through the various exhibits on site, and had apparently found what he was looking for, the artifact was a somewhat strange gold-colored watch. Behind the man's path were different people in uniform, but they were all frozen.

"The watch of eternity ... Valuable in the past, invaluable in the future" I was about to take the watch before ...

SWANG

Before a kunai collided with his hand.

"Not so fast, weird man!" The man took off his kunai before turning around to see a boy with torn and torn orange clothes in different places in his jacket and pants.

"Who the hell are you a kid?" I don't recognize you? You are not in the historical records ... Surely another hero with no one that anyone remembered— The man spoke very condescendingly about him, and this upset the blond boy in front of him, who became very angry at his words.

"What the hell are you talking about, weird old man ?!" You know the hell, he was going to be nice to you before he kicked your butt, but you just kicked all the kindness he had for you" The boy said annoyed while shaking his right fist.

"Or if ¡lo-Aaagghh-" The man was silenced by a strong punch that sent him flying and breaking different windows, and The blow was coming from the blonde who had moved at sonic speeds to hit him.

"I told you, you old bastard!" The boy shouted with a big smile on his face that reflected a lot of confidence and even some arrogance. "And Naruto Uzumaki always keeps his word." After reciting those words he flipped over before kicking with the right side of his foot.

The man screamed again in pain and spat out saliva when he received the kick in the mouth, but then he straightened up again and smiled arrogantly before taking some projectiles from his hands and throwing it at the blond man who tried to deflect them with his kunai.

BOOM

But I didn't know it was an explosive object. The explosion sent Naruto flying backwards with some burns to his skin.

The villain smiled and hobbled back to the clock of eternity, but was again interrupted this time by a Batarang.

"Titans!" Robin pointed at the wounded man.

"Attack!" Following the orders of their leader, the entire team jumped down to the ground and also dodged a series of laser beams from the villain.

Once on the ground, the villain concentrated several of his laser attacks on Robin, who quickly dodged them and used his staff to deflect some laser beams until their charge cut the staff in half.

Meanwhile Star Fire and lion-shaped beast boy charged at the villain. Star Fire tried to overwhelm him with her energy attacks and beast boy tried to attack him from behind. But the villain deflected the laser beams with the back of his hand, Star Fire tired of this sent a much more powerful attack that was only returned, throwing her out of the air. The villain moved away from the lion-shaped beast boy who was furious at his friend. After walking away, the man raised his right hand again and rays came out with which he suspended in the air the lion that roared in pain.

Raven trying to free her friend from suffering, I raise some showcases and throw them against the villain, who as with Star Fire deflected them and then shot an attack from his forehead that shot him to the ground.

In the distance Cyborg aimed his arm / plasma pistol and shot Cronos.

"Booya!" He shouted in victory when he saw the shot hit his target.

But Cronos was not out of the fight yet, he had erected a force field around him that protected him from the impact and then undid him to launch an artifact at Cyborg.

"Aaaaggghhh. It's holding back my power cell! "

"They can't beat Cronos I come from the futur-aagghh!" Cronos's speech was interrupted again by another kick from Naruto in his mouth.

"You can shut up for a fucking time!" The blond boy screamed with great annoyance and to his luck / stupidity he managed to make the clock fall to the ground.

"No!" The man ran and tried to catch the artifact and it broke on the ground opening a portal through which it fell without much hindrance.

Naruto being so close was also affected, for him, the world began to move in slow motion as the portal slowly attracted him, his heart beat like a locomotive and began to sweat like a steam while a single word was repeated in his mind over and over again.

"Not again ... Not again ... Not again ..." But the whisper in his mind was not the same as his own voice, it was different from his usual joy. The voice in her mind sounded hopeless, exhausted, dead.

He was literally on the verge of falling into the portal to its inevitable end. His life passed through his eyes, all those sweet and bitter moments were for nothing ... his broken promises as well as the only way he had to return home ... There was nothing else for him ... the ever loser .

There was nothing in her eyes but painful resignation at this moment, and not far from there Star Fire could see it, she recognized that look, she had seen it thousands of times in her mirror every morning accompanied by a false smile of hope, the things were always like this until a few months ago when her sister decided to exchange her, she had it herself at that moment, resigning herself once again to the cruel destiny that life gave her, but now thanks to that horrible moment she was here; on earth. Living that life that he could only have in his dreams. That guy's eyes were the same ... she wouldn't let anyone else go through that vortex of madness ... it was her job as heroic ... and beyond that it was her job as the proud member of the young Titans who It was today. She had made her decision, and would not turn back.

Raising at full speed Star Fire had only one goal in mind at the moment, to save him. She managed to push him with her superhuman strength beyond the portal's field of attraction and closed her eyes hoping for the inevitable ...

Nothing happened?

Star-Fire looked around and noticed that it was in front of the titan tower, and the snow ... no, this was not snow, it was ash. The titan tower was different, it was bigger but now it was very deteriorated, some windows were simply not there and instead there were wooden planks that tried to cover the free spaces. Hesitantly, Star began to approach the tower entrance, stood in front of the door waiting for it to open, but never did, perhaps the door sensors stopped working or the tower no longer had power.

Using his superhuman strength Star forced the doors to open, and entered the tower, as he had mentioned the corridors in the tower were much larger and less cold, there were more rooms than he remembered, each one had a different name.

'Garth' in the next one read. 'Cassie' in the next 'Megan' in the next 'Tara' in the next 'Connor' in the next 'Wally' in the next 'Roy' in the next 'Tula' then 'Duela' and finally 'Naruto' was read.

The whole place was very neglected and a lot of furniture was covered by very grimy white sheets, all the lights were out except for one in what she knew as the main room, she started cautiously approaching the place only to find herself ... Nothing .

There was literally no one in the room and the large screen in the room that emitted the light was broken, constantly turning on and off, but inside the crashed screen there was only one message ... intruder detected.

The front door was forced open again and the approaching footsteps began to be heard with great speed towards her, Star turned quickly behind her and crossed her arms to stop a blow that was going at high speed.

"What the hell! This guy hits hard!" Star saw that the one who had hit her was neither more nor less than the boy who saved from being dragged to the portal, only that he was no longer a boy, he was a man, his blond hair was now short and his right arm was bionic like the From a cyborg, and his clothes were not worn, he was just like before, a large, loose orange jacket and black sports pants.

The blonde leaped back with a sharp gaze and in a fighting stance. "Who the hell are you and what do you want here?" His words were direct and clear.

Star nodded without really wanting to fight. "I am Star-Fire! I'm a member of the young titans! Ask friend Raven! Friend Robin or-" "Give it up, young Titans don't exist anymore"

Star did not want to believe it, did not want to believe that her friends had dissolved the team. "That is not true! They would never part! They promised me!"

"Well, I'm sorry to tell you, friend, but the team disbanded long ago" He really wasn't sarcastic, he really apologized but Star didn't see it that way.

"And how the hell do you know!" The Tamaran girl threw herself at full speed against Naruto, her eyes shining emerald.

The blonde was pushed out of the tower like a bullet, but halfway there he began to float to stop the blow he was going to give him.

"I know because I was a titan!" And then he returned the blow with much more force than he received and Star flew backwards back to the perforated tower and ended up knocking down the place, and fell unconscious.

In the remains of the tower Naruto descended scratching the nape of his neck. "How the hell am I going to explain to Vic that it was an accident?" I leave the problem behind and pull Star out of the rubble, carrying her bridal style.

"But well, I'll leave it to the future me, meanwhile ..." His gaze dropped to the unconscious Star and he sighed. "I have to take you to Vic ..." There really was no other option but he didn't want to go to the courtroom, not at least after what he did.

"Get over it, it's been almost 10 years since that." Kurama's voice, as always was his voice of reason.

"I know Kurama but ... it's all my fault ... without it, it wouldn't have been so reckless ..."

"You didn't know what those boxes are for"

"It was I who brought it to Kurama ... We both know ... Everyone knows it." Naruto had taken flight to the courtroom in Washington, DC.

"You weren't thinking things through, you were depres-"

"But not the world. How can I save lives if everyone fears me?"

"... You've become pathetic ..." Neither of them said anything again on the way to Washington, they both knew it was true.

END OF CHAPTER.

Done, this crossover came to me when I found my old teen titans comics, and I said to myself why not, after all I am very geeky on this topic, oh one thing this alternative future is set in the future of The dark Knight Returns with some changes that I thought were convenient to add tension and drama to the story.

Bye Bye.
