Ok, I know I haven't updated in a while, but my stupid computer was broken so I couldn't do anything. Anyway, I don't own the Teen Titans or DBZ.

Chapter 5

There was an uncomfortable silence in the room as Sapphire finished her story. After hearing about their horrible deaths in the future they were at a loss for words. Well, four of them anyway.

"I die first?!" Beast Boy cried. "That's is so not fair! The funny guy always goes first!"

"Oh how horrible!" Starfire cried. "I do not wish to die at the hands of some horrible monster!"

"Sapphire, is there anyway we can keep this from happening?" Robin asked.

"I don't know," she answered. "But I figured if you guys had time to prepare, you'd be able to stop him."

"Does he have any weaknesses that we should know about?"

"None that I know of, except he's really arrogant. But I guess most bad guys are."

"But you did say he has the same powers as us," Raven informed. "We can use that to our advantage."

"And then we'll be able to take him down!" Cyborg added.

"I hope so." Sapphire thought to herself. She hoped her warning would ensure that they didn't meet the same gruesome fate as the Teen Titans of the future, especially her parents. "I guess I better get going now, since I've told you everything you needed to know."

"You're leaving already?" Robin asked. "But you just got here. You should at least spend the night here and get some rest before you go back."

"No, I couldn't bother you guys and-

"Nonsense!" Starfire said running over to Sapphire and grabbing her arm. "We shall have lots of fun together if you stay! We can sit in our rooms and have "girl talk"! Or we can commence the painting of our toenails and shop at the mall or eat unhealthy junk food or-

"The point is she wants you to stay a little while longer." Raven said while put her hand over Starfire's mouth.

"Well, I guess I could stay a little while."

"Wonderful! Come! I shall show you to your room!" Starfire cheered excitedly. She grabbed Sapphire by her arm and pulled her out of the room. The other Titans just stood there looking confused.

"Poor girl." Raven muttered.

"So should we actually believe everything she told us?" Cyborg asked.

"Yeah! It could be some kind of trick or something!" Beast Boy added. "Catch us off our guard and then, bam! No more Teen Titans!"

"I don't think so," the boy wonder responded. "It just wouldn't make any sense for her to trick us. It's very possible that she's from the future. Remember that bad guy Warp? He was from the future, and Starfire went there too. Call it a hunch, but I think we can trust her."

"I agree with Robin," Raven answered. "Besides, we could us the extra training."

"Aw man! Two years of training!" Beast Boy whined. "This is seriously going to cut back on my social time."

"Quit your whining. Do you want to live or do you want to die?"

"Uh, live?"

"Well then, you're going to train, and you are not going to complain about it anymore. Understand?"

Beast Boy gulped. "Y-yeah. I understand."

"Good." She turned and looked at Cyborg and Robin, whom were both staring at her. "What?"

"Nothing!" they both said in unison.

"Wow. It's so nice to actually be outside and not fear for your life." Sapphire thought to herself as she looked out over the water. Everything in the city looked so peaceful and calm, unlike the torn and ruined city of her time. It was also great to meet the other Titans she had heard so much about from her parents. She wished she could stay here forever, but she couldn't abandon the people in her time that needed her.

"Sapphire?" a voice called from behind her. She turned around to see that it was Starfire. "I hope that I am not interrupting anything."

"No, of course not. I was just sitting here thinking," she answered.

Starfire sat down next to her daughter from the future, to which she was unaware of. They both sat next to each other in silence before Starfire finally spoke up. "So, it must be very lonely in your time. I mean without any friends to keep you company."

"Yeah, a little," she responded. "But I've managed to get along well enough."

"I also know what it is like to be alone. You see, I lost my mother when I was on Tameran."

"Really?"

Starfire nodded in response.

"But didn't you have any other family members?"

"Yes. But my father and sister blamed me for the death of my mother. My planet was attacked by an invading race called the Gorgons. I remember they came into my room and tried to kill me, and since I was real young, I couldn't defend myself. My mother came in the room and fought them off while telling me to escape through the window. I did not want to leave her but she insisted that she would be okay. It was fortunate at the time that I could fly, and so I left. Later I had learned that she was dead, and my father and sister said that if it weren't for me, she would still be alive. After that they treated me like an outcast. A few years later I just had to get away, so I came to Earth. It was then that I met Robin and the others, who took me in when I had no place else to go. I do not know what I would do if I did not have such wonderful friends as I do now."

Sapphire was shocked to say the least. She had no idea her mother had gone through all of that. To think that her mother's own father and sister would blame that on her, it was horrible. It reminded her of her parents sacrificing their own lives just so she could live.

"I'm sorry Starfire. I went through a similar thing with my mom and dad."

"It is alright," she responded while smiling. "Even though I miss her dearly, I know my mother wanted me to live a happy life, and I am."

"You have such a positive look on everything. You remind me of someone I know."

Starfire giggled a little. "Well, I believe that being positive even when things look bad, makes things so much simpler."

"Yeah, that is good advice." She couldn't believe it. Her mother was a great person even when she was a teenager.

"Hey Starfire! Sapphire!" Beast Boy called from the tower. "We're going to order pizza for dinner! Come on!"

"And we're going to have actual meat on it!" Cyborg added.

"Dude! No way! We're going to have a vegetarian pizza!"

"Nobody wants to eat a nasty, disgusting vegetarian pizza!"

"Well who would want to eat a pizza made from innocent animals?'

"Oh I don't know, maybe, normal people!"

"Are you saying I'm not normal?"

"Hey, you said it, not me!"

Starfire giggled and turned to Sapphire. "Would you like to have pizza with us?"

"Wow! Really? I love pizza!" Sapphire said excitedly.

"Have you ever tried it with mustard and mint toppings?

"Mustard and mint toppings?"

Starfire nodded.

"That's my favorite!"

"Glorious! Come new friend! We shall celebrate your arrival with our favorite pizza!"

"They both got up and flew towards the tower, unaware that the whole time they were being watched.

"So, this girl is from the future," Slade said to himself while watching the video screen. "Apparently my creation was too much for the Titans to handle. But since they already know what to expect, I guess I'm going to have to make a little modification on creation."

He walked over to a glass tube that was holding a tiny life form inside hooked up to a huge computer. He stood there for a long time, just staring into the tube without saying a word.

"I have to remember to thank this girl sometime," he chuckled. "She thinks she's helping the Titans, when in reality, she's sealing their own fate."
