Vortex
Chapter 1:where you'll be when you're 30
Year: 2018 Time: late at night
Place: Titans Tower
"Almost done…" The boy said. He was working on a small object of huge importance. It was the year 2018. No one had yet discovered the key to time travel, that was until now. The boy was just a few minutes away from creating the world's first time machine.
" I am such a genius" he whispered to himself, wiping strands of his redish brown and black streaked hair away from his masked eyes. He wasn't just making that statement up though. He was said to be the smartest human being ever yet he wasn't truly a human being. He was only half human being, the other half being tamerainien. "...Almost" he whispered twisting a bolt on the small machines mettle frame. He was only minutes away from the biggest discovery known to man, and it would be made right in Titan's tower. Minutes away from discovering the secret to time travel and he was extremely young.
He was only five years old and his name was Nightfire Alex Grayson.
"Ok just one more screw and…"
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
The knock at the door startled him and 10 screws and many parts and wires came flying out of the time machine. It would take him hours to fix.
" What!?! Who's there what do ya want?" Nightfire said angrily.
"Hey! Calm down Sport its me!" His father said through the door.
"Oh sorry Daddy. What do you want?" Nightfire said as we picked up the wires and screws from the floor.
" It's late Nightfire. You should go to bed" His father replied.
Nightfire glanced at the clock. It was 12:00 midnight. Nightfire yawned, not realizing how tired he really was.
" Okay Daddy. G'night" Nightfire replied sleepily.
" Goodnight Sport" His father replied, calling Nightfire by the nickname he commonly used.
Nightfire placed the loose screws and wires in his desk drawer and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He walked into his red, green, and yellow bathroom and brushed his teeth. He was lucky to have his own bathroom, yet again he wasn't that lucky because it was attached to his parents purple and red, yellow, and green bathroom. It hadn't always been like that but recently they had had a door built connecting the two rooms because of what had happened during what as they called was 'the soap and toothpaste incident '. Nightfire shuttered and then spat out his tooth paste
"Don't wanna even think about that incident" Nightfire muttered to himself. It had caused him to be on probation from soap bars for a month and had started his irrational fear of toothpaste dispensers.
Pushing away those horrible memories we went over to the sink to wash the jell out of his red-brown hair. He put his head in the sink and put his hands through his hair until no jell was left and his hair was flat to his head in what Nightfire called '1950's style'.
"Man I look like such a dorkwad" Nightfire muttered, which was what he always said every night when he had to take the jell out of his hair. He then walked out of the bathroom and back into his red, green, and yellow room, changed into his pajama boxers, took his mask off his eyes, and plopped down on his bed. He pulled the covers over his head and said
"Tomorrow's the day. And they said time travel couldn't be done…" He trailed off and fell fast asleep.
Year: 2004 time: nighttime
Setting: beach outside Titans Tower
The Titans were all sitting out on the beach. It was late September and this was probably the last day the water would be warm enough to swim in, so they had all but on their bathing suites and enjoyed a say at their private beach right outside Titans Tower. But know it was sunset and they were all just sitting on the beach, cooking smores, and watching the sun fall and the moon take its place. Starfire sat in Robins lap as they gazed up at the sky. Terra was in Beastboy's lap as they chomped on their smores. Cyborg and Raven who did not have a relationship with anyone yet were just sitting on the beach.
" Where do you think we will all be when were 30?" Starfire asked the whole group.
"Me and you will be married with plenty of children" Robin whispered in her ear and she giggled.
" Dude guys I predict when were 30 Raven will be with… Aqualad!" Beastboy proclaimed.
"Yeah right" Raven replied tossing a marshmallow at Beastboy's head.
" Oh and I'm not done yet! Cyborg will be single and will have an evil plot against one of Robin and Starfire's future kids!" Beastboy said.
"Ooookay then" Terra said, chomping on her roasted marshmallow.
" Yeah dude why would I have an evil plot against one of Robin and Starfire's kids? There kids will probably be really young then. That prediction is just wack" Cyborg said.
But little did he know, Beastboy couldn't have been more right.
Year: 2018 Time: morning
Setting: Titans Tower
Starfire walked up to the steps. It was 11:00 and Nightfire still wasn't down for breakfast.
" Nightfire breakfast has been ready for some time now!" She called up the steps.
" So?" Nightfire replied from his room.
"So it is bad enough you skipped dinner last night that's so! Please my son what are you working on in your room that requires every waking hour of your day?" Starfire asked back.
"You'll see soon enough Mommy" Nightfire called back. A minute passed and he still didn't come down for breakfast and Starfire was growing impatient.
In a second Robin walked up and placed his arms around her.
"What's up my love?" He asked, seeing his wife was annoyed at something.
"Nightfire refuses to come down for breakfast" she said.
" I'll get him down. With Nightfire's new attitude you just have to be assertive my love. Watch the master" With that Robin took a deep breath and shouted " NIGHTFIRE ALEX GRAYSON GET YOUR TAMERAINIEN-HUMAN BUTT DOWN HERE BEFORE I MAKE YOU COME DOWN!"
Starfire looked at him in shock " Are you sure that is not being over assertive?" She asked.
A minute passed by and still no sign of Nightfire " I'm thinking not enough" he replied. He drew in a deep breath again and " NIGHTFIRE-" but was cut off by his son running down the steps.
"I'm coming, I'm coming sheesh" Nightfire said flying down the steps.
" Good morning Nightfire! Was your sleep enjoyable?" Starfire asked scooping him up.
" Good mommy. Morning daddy." Nightfire said peppily.
"Morning Nightfire. Go run and get breakfast" Robin said.
" Did Cybooger cook it? Cause if he did I'm not eatin it" Nightfire said grumpily jumping down from his mothers arms.
" No son Terra made breakfast this morning and Cyborg is banned from eating in the kitchen from now on because of some… incidents at dinner last night" Starfire replied shaking her head.
" What?" Nightfire asked, having skipped dinner last night.
" Its nothing Sport" Robin replied.
" But an incident isn't nothing! What is it?" Nightfire asked tugging at his father's cape.
" We shall tell you later now go eat" Starfire said lightly shoving Nightfire towards the kitchen door.
" Okay Mommy" Nightfire replied walking through the doors.
" Hey Nightfire what's up!" Terra said from over the counter.
" Nothing. What's for breakfast?" Nightfire asked, plopping himself on a chair at the counter.
"Bacon" Terra said with a smile holding up the bacon right in front of his eyes.
"AHHH GET THE POOR DEAD PIG AWAY FROM ME!!!" Nightfire screamed, hiding under the counter. He was a strict vegan and hated to see dead animals.
" Gosh Nightfire chill little dude. I'm only messing with ya. Beastboy picked you vegetarians up some of this Veggie-O's cereal. Want some?" Terra said holding up a bowl of cereal shaped like vegetables.
" Oh Yum!!!!" Nightfire said picking up the bowl and eating at the speed of light.
" Nightfire you're so silly" Reena, Beastboy and Terra's 4 year old daughter said coming up from the couch area where she had desperately had been trying to beat Nightfire's high score on their new, Tamerainien game system.
"Yeah but you're more silly" Nightfire said to the blond haired little girl.
"No I a'int!" She whined.
" A'int isn't a word Reena" Nightfire shot back.
" Yeah it is! Right mommy?" Reena said, asking her mother.
"No honey. I'm sorry Nightfire's right, a'int isn't a word." Terra replied as she began to read a copy of 'Teen seen magazine' even tough she wasn't a teen, she was 27.
" Aww what do you know Nightfire? You don't know nothing" Reena shot at Nightfire angrily
" Its 'you don't know anything' Reena. Using nothing is a double negative" Nightfire replied.
" Stop being so smart!" She whined.
" Nope. Sorry Reena." Nightfire said, taking another spoonful of cereal. From behind Reena crept up and…
"OWWW!" Reena had hit Nightfire on the left arm. Normally that wouldn't hurt because Nightfire was also the strongest being ever born but his arm had been broken in 6 places and fractured in 5 for 4 weeks now. It was all Cyborg's fault…but he pushed those horrible memories out of his mind.
" What Huh?" Terra said snapping up from her teen magazine reading and rock music listening.
" She hit me! On my broken arm! ow..ow..ow.." Nightfire said rubbing his arm.
"Apologize Reena" Terra ordered her daughter.
"no"
" Reena Roxanne Logan! Apologize!" Terra snapped.
Reena then used her changeling powers to morph into the cutest kitten probably ever, and jumped into Nightfire's lap. She then turned back into a human.
" Forgive me best-buddy?" Reena pleaded.
"Well…ok" Nightfire said back.
" Yaay! Big hug!!" Reena proclaimed as she tightly hugged her best friend.
" Reena you're my best friend but this is too much togetherness" Nightfire said.
" Okay dokey hokey Smokey!" Reena said in a sing-song four year old voice jumping off Nightfire and accidentally hitting the weakest part of his arm…
"OWWWW!" he shouted in pain again.
"Oopsy! Sorry Nightfire!" Reena said.
Suddenly Robin and Starfire ran into the room, holding their other son, the six-month-old Wingfire.
" What's with all the screaming? And why isn't Terra watching you guys?" Robin asked.
" Oh I was screaming cause Reena accidentally hit my broken arm and Terra's not watching us because she's too busy listening to her Cassette player and drooling over her own husbands picture in Teen Seen Magazine" Nightfire stated.
" What huh?" Terra said, snapping out of her drooling over Beastboy's picture in Teen Seen magazine. That magazine did an article about a different Teen Titan each week and this week there was a picture of Beastboy in some baggy looking clothes with his hair jelled back.
" Can we never have a nice peaceful, normal breakfast?" Starfire asked as she sat Wingfire in his high-chair and got out his baby food.
" Yeah this whole family's pretty weird. But that's the way I like it" Nightfire said getting up and heading towards the door.
" Where you going Sport?" Robin asked.
" To my room. I have a very important project to finish" And with that, Nightfire was off.
