Vortex: Windows to the Future
Chapter 5: Ex-best friends worse enemies, and surprises part 1
Year: January 5 2019 Time: 11:10 AM
Setting: Titans Tower
"Hey Reena have you seen anyone around? It's been a few hours and it's kinda quite around here," Nightfire asked as Reena scooped some cereal into her mouth.
"Gee I don't know. After all I am stupid remember," Reena said with an angry look on her face.
"Reena I-"
"JUST SHUT UP NIGHTFIRE!" Reena yelled at the top of her lungs and then glanced at him and scooped some more cereal into her mouth
"Fine, be that way, see if I care. I'm going upstairs," Nightfire muttered.
Suddenly something went off in Nightfire's utility belt…. "Oh crap" Nightfire mumbled and grabbed Reena's hand "Come on, there's knock-out gas in the tower"
"Well we're not dead so obviously you're wrong because we're not knocked out! Ha you're not perfect!" Reena said pulling away
"I never said-"
"Tell whatever you're going to say to someone who cares. Reena said pushing her bowl into the sink hugging her Funshine bear to herself and walking upstairs.
"I never said I was perfect" Nightfire mumbled glumly "And obviously I'm not…"
A Few Minutes Later…
Reena found herself in her family's hallway, The Logan Hallway. It was actually not just a hallway, but an entire floor. The Graysons had their own hallway too. The Logan floor consisted of Beastboy and Terra's bedroom, Reena's bedroom, an extra bedroom that was currently empty, a large bathroom, and a family room. The walls were green and yellow and the carpet was green. Reena stopped and turned into the family room that was purple with stars on the ceiling and walls and headed for the black couch. A purple lava lamp sat on the coffee table and the family's silver laptop did too (AN: the room sound familiar? Kudos to whoever guesses it first…). Reena pulled the laptop into her lap and sprawled her feet out on the couch. She tried to enjoy herself by playing on the Care Bear website but it wasn't working. She clicked the laptop closed and headed for her parent's room to talk to them. She opened the silver door that was labeled Beastboy And Terra and stepped inside. Her parents were passed out on the floor. "Nightfire was right…" She whispered
Forgetting that she was mad at Nightfire she yelled "NIGHTFIRE COME HERE QUICK!"…
Nightfire was pacing in his room and holding his nose at the same time. Right next door to his room was what was soon to be Wingfire's very own bedroom. The canisters of paint were open and they were leaking disgusting paint fumes everywhere. Deciding that he needed to relive some stress he opened the door to his room and walked to the left to the half painted blue room. Nightfire dipped one of the brushes into the can of bright blue paint. He painted over the purple walls that had once been his mothers when she was a teen, before she and Robin had gotten married when they were 24. In a few minutes the whole room was blue and Nightfire wiped off his paint-full hands in the sink in his side of the family bathroom. He stopped for a second 'wait…. Mom and Dad were giving Wingfire a bath before they were going to paint. I heard them shut the bath tub water off 40 minutes ago so…' Nightfire stopped his thinking and ran across the hall to his parent's room. Just as he thought..
"Nillirumite gas. Just as I suspected. They've been knocked out… but…whom…why? This is just so...-" His talking to himself was interrupted by a certain 4 year old changeling yelling… "NIGHTFIRE COME HERE QUICK!"
Nightfire bolted down the stairs to the Logan level and pried open the doors to Beastboy and Terra's room, where the scream had come from.
"What?" He asked coming over. He looked at Reena who was kneeled down next to her parents that had fallen to the floor upon passing out. "Them too huh?" Nightfire said rubbing his head and looking down at the floor.
"Yeah" She muttered
"Look Reena, we have to grab Wingfire and get out of here. I don't think the tower is safe at the moment"
"I'm not leaving my parents here just cause you say so!" Reena said wiping a tear from her eyes.
"It's not leaving them here…look Reena we just have to get out. Whoever did this might be planning something for us too. If we get out of here and get to a safe place I can make an antidote within a few days, and we'll be back and cure them. And even if I can't find resources to make some it will wear off in a week, okay? I know you aren't very happy with me right now, but you'll just have to trust me" Nightfire said.
Reena looked down at the ground and nodded. They went up a level and Nightfire grabbed a sleeping Wingfire out of his crib, being careful not to wake him. Then they all went downstairs and packed some food and water into Reena's care bear backpack. Nightfire put Wingfire into a backpack that had a baby carrier in the back and put some things he would need to make an antidote into the zipper compartments. Reena grabbed her Funshine bear and they headed for the door of the tower.
As soon as they got out both Nightfire and Reena who forgot to put jackets on froze in place and said "Oh crap" and ran back into the tower. Reena pulled on her heavy care bears jacket and put on her tweetie bird baseball cap and Sylvester mittens. Nightfire put on his heavy blue and black winter jacket that had a bird insignia on the back (AN: cough cough Nightwing insignia cough cough) and the pulled the backpack with a still sleeping Wingfire on to his back again (AN: any one realize yet that when you subtract the fire from both Nightfire's and Wingfire's names it spells Nightwing? Isn't that cool? No? I thought it was…). Reena pulled her Care Bears backpack onto her back and they headed out.
"Oh one second I almost forgot!" Nightfire said quickly flying into the basement and back up again holding to long, big objects.
"Hover snowboards!" He said handing Reena hers. They hadn't gotten any use in Reena's remembrance because there really hadn't had a big snowstorm since she was 2.
"WOW! Do they hover and snowboard?" She asked, eyes wide.
"No duh Sherlock" Nightfire said rolling his eyes.
"Aww shut up," Reena said grabbing her board, which had a rainbow on it. She latched her feet into the foothold and then "How do you start this thing?" she asked.
Nightfire latched his feet into his board, which was black with a flame in the middle. "I'll show you," He said pressing a button on the side of the board and taking off into the late morning snow filled morning.
"Hey Nightfire get back here!" She yelled and then pressed the button on the side and taking off after Nightfire…
30 minutes later they were about half way across the city. The snow was coming down heavy. Nightfire signaled to Reena and pointed towards the wilderness area outside of Jump City. They landed and went into a small cave. Wingfire was still sleeping and Nightfire rested him on the ground for a second as he dug into his utility belt and grabbed a lighter.
"Go get some sticks so we can make a fire" He ordered.
"Ask nicely" Reena said
Nightfire rolled his eyes "Please"
"Okay Dokey" She said turning into a polar bear and going out into the snow. Meanwhile Nightfire wiped the snow off of the two hover snowboards and laid them in the corner. Reena came back in a minute with some sticks in her polar bear mouth. She released the sticks onto the floor and then shook herself off, getting snow everywhere.
"Did you have to do that?" Nightfire asked wiping some snow off his jacket.
"Well sorry" Reena said turning back into a human and rolling her eyes.
Nightfire took the sticks and piled them in the center of the small cave, putting some rocks around the pile. He then lit them on fire with his lighter and both he and Reena felt the warmth rushing into the cave. Nightfire took of his jacket and wrapped the still sleeping Wingfire in it. Reena dug into her backpack and pulled out that nights rations and threw the bag at Nightfire.
"BEEF JERKEY? WHY IN HELL DID YOU PACK THAT? I'M A VEGAN! I DON"T EAT MEAT!" Nightfire shouted.
"Take it or leave it meanie," Reena said taking off her mittens and pulling out some strands of beef jerky and chomped them noisily.
"Fine, I will leave it" Nightfire said turning his back to Reena and listening to his stomach growl. It was lunchtime and he had a pretty small breakfast. Reena tried to enjoy her favorite food, beef jerky but she couldn't. She sighed and dug into her backpack taking out some granola bars. She threw them at Nightfire's head…
"Hey!" He said but he then looked at the granola bars and smiled…
"Thanks" He smiled and started eating.
Even though Reena and Nightfire were enemies now and there parents weren't there and the couldn't go home for a few days everything was peaceful…for now….
Little did they know they were being watched…
"Gizmo to Charlie" Gizmo whispered into his communicator from outside the cave "Targets spotted. We strike tomorrow morning"…
To Be Continued….
