Howdy y'all! Welcome to the sequel to Vortex! If you haven't read Vortex, you might want to before reading this story as it will make this one all the more easy to understand. However if you do not wish to read the first Vortex story, here are the bios for the three new characters…
Nightfire: A five soon to be six year old super genius son of Robin and Starfire. He's the one that invented the time machine that sent the Future titans back to 2004 in Vortex. He has bright green eyes and red-brown hair. His body type is 85 percent tamerainien so he has tamerainien powers and a whole arsenal of bird-a-rangs which means you don't want to tick him off.
Wingfire: Robin and Starfire's 10-month-old son. He is 85 percent human and it is unknown if he poses any Tamerainien powers. He has blue eyes and black hair.
Reena: Beastboy and Terra's 4 soon to be five year old daughter. She loves care bear and posses both her fathers and her mothers powers. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and has the pesky tendency to randomly yell out "BIG HUG!" and smother people. She's not in the first chapter but not to worry, I know how much readers of Vortex liked her so she'll play a major part in this story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans however I do own…a library card Wahoo!
On with the story…
Vortex: Windows to the Future
Chapter one: let it snow let it snow…
Year: Jan. 5, 2019 Time: 4:19 AM
Setting: Titans Tower
Nightfire Grayson shivered under the blankets. It was early January of the New Year, 2019. Unfortunately the heating company had caught on fire on the first day of winter. Nightfire tossed off the blankets and looked at the clock. It read 4:19 A.M. Nightfire grumbled at being woken up by the freezing weather, although it was partly his fault he was so cold, as he had insisted on wearing his usual pajama boxer shorts instead of some nice, toasty warm sweat pant pajama's. He turned over and shivered. He suddenly noticed the room had a white glow to it. He smiled hopefully and looked out the window.
"Snow!" He whispered excitedly, jumping out of bed and looking out the window further. There were at least 4 feet of snow and it was still snowing!! Being a five year old the snow seemed to call at him saying 'come outside! Play in me! Make snow-angles and…' It was too irresistible. Nightfire ran towards the door and… He realized something. One: it was freezing and he'd have to get some coats on, and two: he'd need parental supervision or he'd be grounded. He straitened his hair and grabbed a stuffed bunny plushie from the shelf. He HATED bunny plushies but it would add to his cuteness when he asked. He then walked across the hall to his parent's room and silently opened the door. He saw his victims. He sprang forward, jumped on his sleeping parents and yelled "IT'S SNOWING IT'S SNOWING IT'S SNOWING!!"
Starfire turned over and said "Ugh Nightfire sweetie what time is it?"
"Time for you to get up!!!" Nightfire said to his parents.
Robin lifted his head up and looked at the clock. "It's way to early to go out in the snow kiddo" And plopped his head back down on the pillow.
"But it's the first snow of the year!!" Nightfire exclaimed.
"Whoopee" Robin said sarcastically and turned over.
"I'm serious Dad! C'mon it'll be fun!! We can all go out and play in the snow, and make snow men, and make snow angles, and have a snow ball fight…"
"The last time I agreed to have a snowball fight with 2 Tamerainiens I had a black eye and several dislocated fingers for weeks" Robin said shoving the blankets over his face as his wife giggled.
"Aww c'mon Dad I was only three when that happened" Nightfire said. No response. It was time for drastic measures. He made the puppy dog pout, with his cutest eyes, and made the cutest five-year-old voice possible … "It'll make your oldest son happy. After all I'm only five once" Nightfire pleaded.
"He's right" Starfire said, rolling over and whispering in her husbands ear.
"Look kiddo from the hours of 7 in the morning 'till midnight I absolutely care if you are happy. It makes me sad when you're not. However from the hours of 1 AM to 6 AM I am sleeping and could care less" Robin said groggily
"Robin…" Starfire Started as she giggled.
"Pweese? Pweese can we go in the snow? If we wait until later there will be like 10 feet of snow on the ground and I'll sink!" Nightfire pleaded.
"Alright" Starfire said rolling out of bed.
"No Star if you get up I am obligated to get up too" Robin pleaded.
"Yes, you are" Starfire said giggling as her husband got out of bed.
"This is insane" Robin said.
"Gah!" Wingfire, Robin and Starfire's 10-month-old son exclaimed from his crib on the other side of the room.
"See he agrees" Robin said.
"Yaay! Now that your up let's go outside and have a snowball fight and go sledding and-"
"Nightfire slow down! First we must get in our coats, and get washed and-" Starfire started lightly slapping her husband "Some of us need to wake up" She finished giggling.
"Huh, what?" Robin said, now fully awake.
"Okay!!! I'll go get my coat!" Nightfire said racing out of the room.
Robin took his wife into his arms. They were married for 6 years, to be 7 in June. They had gotten married when they were 24.
"I'm to old to wake up this early," Robin said rubbing his eyes.
"Old? Love you are only 30," She giggled, "Soon to be 31 in 10 days"(AN: Robin just strikes me as a January 15 person I dunno…)
"Yeah don't remind me" Robin said groggily "I only agreed to wake up this early because It would make Nightfire happy"
"Yes, he has been rather quiet lately" Starfire said.
"Yeah. And I also woke up because it would mean getting to see your beautiful face" Robin said, as he pressed his lips on hers. In a minute she was kissing back until…
"Hey you can make out any time but it's only the first snow once!" Nightfire said as he left the room again.
Starfire giggled and then went to the bathroom to get ready. While he was waiting Robin glanced at the pictures that lined the wall of Starfire and his room. There was of course their wedding picture. Then there was a picture of the whole family that had been taken in early October, right after the vortex incident. It was so freaky to see your past like that, to know what was going to happen to yourself but be talking to yourself at the same time.
"Gah!" Wingfire exclaimed from his crib. Robin walked over to his infant son and picked him up.
"You wanna go out in the snow too kiddo?" Robin asked.
"Gah!" Wingfire exclaimed.
"Maybe when you're older little guy," Robin said "now can you say Daddy?"
"Momee" Wingfire replied.
"No, daddy"
"Nifiee!!" Wingfire said, which was his word for Nightfire.
"C'mon I know you can say it…"
"Dada!"
"Alright kiddo good job!" Robin said. He saw a yawn escape from Wingfire's mouth so put his son back in the crib.
Robin then walked over to the window and looked down at the city, covered with snow. When he was a teen his top priority was keeping the city safe. But now his top priority was his lovely wife and his two sons, and if waking up at 4:19 AM to go out in the snow would make his son happy, then he would. And besides, it wasn't like he had to stop Slade anymore. Slade was dead and there didn't seem to be any new villains coming, only petty thieves. Or so the Titans thought…
Year: January 5th 2019 Time: 4:19 AM
Setting: HIVE 'boarding house'
Gizmo, now 27 (AN: he is like what 13 on the show? Maybe a little younger? I dunno I just guessed…) walked across the hall to Jinxes (AN: is that spelled right? I'll look into it…) room in heir apartment in the HIVE boarding house, where all adult HIVE members stayed. The HIVE was mostly disbanded though, the members basically bounty hunters now. Gizmo, Jinx, and Mammoth all shared a three-bedroom apartment on the top level.
"Yo Jinx get can out of bed we have a client to meet in 10 minutes!" Gizmo called.
"You want some?" Mammoth asked, holding out a plate of seemingly rotten eggs.
" No way!! What'd you make those cruddy looking eggs out of anyway?" Gizmo asked.
Mammoth shrugged "some rotten eggs".
"Go figure" Gizmo mumbled as Jinx finally came out of her room, dressed in a black mini-skirt and a bright pink top. She was 29 and her mystical powers had gotten greater over the years.
"What time did you say this meeting was?' she asked, trying to hold back a yawn.
"In 10 minutes!" Gizmo said getting his tech backpack on "and its half-way across the city!"
"Oh shit! We better get going!" She said, getting a bright pink jacket on.
"No kidding. It's snowing outside too" Mammoth said pointing out the window.
"Oh crud! Lets go!" Gizmo said, as the three bolted out the door and to a meeting with a mysterious new client…
Well that's the first chapter y'all! A little slow, I know but it will get better, this was just kind of an intro chapter
Next time: The Titans are snowed in and the HIVE'S new client is just a little too over the top evil to be planning a nice outing for the Titan's. No, he's planning a threat not just to the city, but to the very titans lives themselves. Even the kids…
Please read and review! Flames are accepted but they do hurt my feelings.
I'll try to get the next chapter up soon, probably next week sometime!
Bye y'all!
