Howdy y'all! Here's the 3rd chapter but first, review responses Wahoo!
Nevermoretheraven: There's actually going to be very little AquaRae in this story, only hinting that they're going out…I know Aqua –Rae isn't the best pairing but its pretty good and the idea I have for their kid (in a future Vortex sequal they will have a kid, don't worry) is really cool. Also you'll find out why Rae can't use her healing powers to heal both their arms in a later chapter… Thanks for the good review!
Blaze-firestorm: Thanks for the good review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans however I do own a copy of the new Green Day CD! I never knew green day had so many curse words, they're always beeped out on the radio... ah well its still cool!
On with the show! …
Vortex
Chapter 3:of broken arms and fake I.D.s part one
Year: 2004 Time: a little past noon
Setting: kitchen
" You're five?!" the present Cyborg asked.
" And why are you dressed like Robin?" Starfire inquired.
" Are you another Larry or something?" Robin asked looking at the small boy who, minus the red-brown hair, looked exactly like him. He wore the same robin outfit except with an N on the little patch and no cape, and the same mask. He was also shorter too but that was a given if the boy was 5.
"Larry? No! Larry's a looser!" the boy said bending his fingers into the shape of an L (authors note: Nightfire's thoughts on Larry do not reflect mine- I love Larry!).
" So then why are you dressed like a midget Robin?" Terra asked.
" Ok one: I'm not a midget! I'm five years old sheesh! And two: I'm dressed like Robin because he's my dad! Got it? Ok! Now might I inquire to what year it is?" Nightfire asked politely.
" Uhmm 2004 dude" Beastboy answered since Robin was just kinda in shock that this little kid was his-from the future of coarse.
" Wow! I'm not even born yet!" The boy exclaimed happily.
"Dude you're only five-if we are even only six years in the past you wouldn't have been born yet either!" future Cyborg said.
"Shove it Tin-man" The boy said, punching Cyborg into the wall.
" Dude that little guy just took that other me down again! And he has a really screwed up arm too!" present Cyborg said looking at the heavily bandaged, in a cast arm that was the small boys left arm"
" Not like that's my fault" The boy said, crossing his arms the best he could.
"So then who broke it then small one?" Starfire asked.
"Cybooger" the boy muttered.
"WHAT?! You're telling me that in the future I did that to you? How?"
Nightfire drew in a deep breath and started to explain... "See it was 4 weeks ago and it was like 4 in the morning and I was really tired but I was couldn't fall back asleep after this nightmare and so I was just walking in the hall to get a snack, and see Cyborg always hated me, so I was just walking and then he like jumped on me and started beating the crud outta me and then that was right in front of Raven's room so she came into the hallway and was like 'Cyborg you-' and then she said some really bad words I can't repeat and then Cyborg got really mad so he broke her arm too and then I got up and then I'm like 'Dude Stop!' so he's like 'Dude ,No!' but then I'm like 'Dude leave her alone!' so then I like beat the crud outta him but since I was so tired he punched me into the wall and broke my arm in 3 more places, and then I fell right on my arm so it got fractured in 5 places and then he started to beat me up again. But then my Mommy and Daddy came and so they stopped him" Nightfire panted, being out of breath from saying that much " And that's what happened" He finished.
"Oookay then, that's not weird" Raven said sarcastically.
Robin finally gained awareness after being told this little kid was his future son and asked " So who are your parents again?"
" You and Starfire" the boy replied.
Robin and Starfire looked at each other in shock.
" Well no one expected that" Raven said sarcastically.
" Who knows maybe you're just an imposter, a burglar who's breaking into the tower. Let me see your I.D." Robin demanded.
The boy broke into a fit of laughter " You think I'm faking that I'm your son? Trust me, I've tried to legally tried to change my identity – It doesn't work. Here's my I.D. My name is Nightfire and I really am your son from the future- the year 2018 to be exact" Nightfire said.
Robin looked over the I.D. card. It looked real and it had the following info on it:
Name: Nightfire Alex Grayson Date of birth: 01/22/2013
Weight as of 01/2018:35 pounds height as of 1/2018: 3 feet 9 inches
Skin: white hair: red/brown Eyes: bright green Student info: College graduate
Note: If taken to hospital on earth, doctors should treat his carefully since 85 of his body is tamerainien, not human.
" This is obviously a fake since it says that you're a college graduate" Robin said handing the card back to Nightfire.
" It is so not a fake! I graduated from college when I was four! I have the highest I.Q. known ever- how else do you think I built a time machine?" Nightfire protested.
" Dude I think he's telling the truth" Beastboy said.
" Yes, listen to Beastboy! This is my real I.D. however I am very skilled at the art of fake I.D. cards. Want one?" Nightfire asked taking out a wad of cards that looked to be real I.D.s unless you knew they were fakes.
"Don't tell me you're still making those after being grounded for a week and almost getting arrested" Some one said in a familiar voice. They all gasped. It was future Raven.
" Raven!!!!" Nightfire said running up to her and jumping into her arms.
" Get off me and get us back to the future" future Raven said, dropping Nightfire to the ground.
" Sure thing Rae! Don't worry, we'll be back in time for your date with Aqualad" Nightfire said.
Future Raven's face turned red " How did you know I had a date with Aqualad?' She asked grabbing Nightfire by the collar.
" Uhm…heh-heh I kinda…sorta … read it in your diary. Gotta go!" Nightfire said as the fuming future Raven chased after him
. "Get back here you Dweeb!" She shouted.
She continued to chase him until a future Cyborg stood in front of Nightfire causing Nightfire to crash into his metal frame.
"Ouch!! That hurt!" Nightfire said rubbing his head.
" I know a way to stop him for you Rae" Future Cyborg said. He bent down to the small boy who was still rubbing his head and plucked the mask right off his bright green eyes and ripped it to shred in a second.
" Hey! That was the only mask I had with me you… you…" Nightfire said flying up so he met future Cyborg's eyes.
" I what?" Cyborg said in a menacing tone.
" You… this!" Nightfire said throwing a Starbolt at Cyborg and then pressing a button on his utility belt, taking out a bright red tube and fired it at future Cyborg.
" That kid has Zynothium!" Robin said in shock.
To be continued….
Well that's the third chapter! I was going to have all the future Titans arrive in the same chapter but it was getting to long so I split this chapter into a two-parter. Please Review weather you liked it or not, I accept both praise and constructive criticism (but I like praise more heh heh ).
Anyways I'll get chapter four up very soon (like maybe even later today, as it is the 25th and I don't celebrate Christmas and nothing is open so I have nothing else to do but be on the computer)
Here's a sneak peak at chapter four…
Next time: The rest of the future Titans come through the portal and the present Titans better be ready for one more person they've never met… her name is Reena …
See you next time!
Bye Y'all!
