Nevermoretheraven: Well the word vigilante doesn't really mean superhero's in the sense of the Titans. The Titans are government employed law abiding superhero's. Vigilante means someone who takes the law into their own hands like batman. But don't worry the next story has nothing to do with batman. Anyway it takes place 10 years and sixth months in the future of the future. Whew confusing. Anyways thanks for reviewing!

Okay that is all the reviews if I missed anyone I am sorry!
Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans but I do own my very own copy of Puffy Ami Yumi's CD an illustrated history! Now I own 2 of their CD's! Yaaaay!
On with the show….
Vortex: Windows to the Future
Chapter seven: Best Friends Forever (AN: did you know that was what the eppie How Long Is Forever was originally going to be titled? Just some Teen Titans trivia for you…)
Nightfire blinked his eyes open and looked around. His arms and legs were chained to the wall with 100 percent titanium bindings. Nightfire could usually break through those easy, but there were electric chargers and laser shock guns and acid deposits inserted into the titanium. Whenever he made a move acid poured down his skin. He flinched and looked to the side. Reena was still asleep with the same bindings on her wrists and legs. Nightfire leaned his head back and stared at his black watch that lay on his wrist still, right near where the bindings were. He moved his wrist to see what day it was and acid poured down onto the watch, burning the battery.
"Great" Nightfire muttered, glancing down at the stopped digital watch. It was still January 6th, but it was 6:30 at night.
Reena slowly opened her eyes and Nightfire looked over to her.
"Don't move your wrists" Nightfire warned
"I can if I want! You ain't the boss of me!" And with that she moved her wrists. Acid spilled down and burned her skin
"OWWWW!" she cried in pain as tears rolled down her face
"It's acid. It will burn your skin for a few minutes but you'll be better soon" Nightfire said with a smile
"Wait, you didn't say 'I told you so'?" Reena asked as the pain went away
"Yeah, guess so" Nightfire said looking away
Reena stared down at the ground "Hey wait, what happened back there?" Reena asked
"What happened where?"
"Back there with the great big WOOSH! And then the green lights and then POW! Everything went dark" Reena answered
"Some times…. I can't control my powers. They just slip out of my grasp you know" Nightfire answered
Reena took this in shock and smiled "Ha-ha! You're not perfect!"
"I know I'm not perfect! Let's just face it, I'm a freak. I'm not Tamerainien and I'm not human. I'm just freaky Nightfire, the kid with 46.5 chromosomes," He said angrily
"Chromosomes? 46.5? Huh?" Reena asked quite confused
Nightfire smiled remembering something…
FLASHBACK
it was a
regular summer day in the year 2018. There was no crime and Nightfire
was quite bored so he decided to figure out if he was really human or
really Tamerainien. He took some of his blood and scanned his DNA
and then sent it into the computer.
"AAAAAH!" Nightfire screamed
"What is it kiddo?" Robin asked, coming into the room
"Look at that! I have 46.5 chromosomes! 46.5!" Nightfire said clutching his head
"So?"
"So I'm not a tamerainien or a human! Humans have 46 chromosomes and Tamerainien have 47, and what am I? I'm a .5! AAAAAH!"
"Oookay then" Robin said shaking his head, leaving the room, and muttering something about Nightfire needing mental help…
END FLASHBACK
"Never mind, the point is I'm a freak," Nightfire said (AN: sorry about that odd chromosomes thing, I just got out of science class. Maybe I should wait a few hours before writing after school from now on…)
"You aren't a freak Nightfire! You're cool! And I'm sorry I was mad at you" Reena said with a smile
"Really? I'm sorry I yelled at you Reena" Nightfire said
"YAAY! Now we're best friends again! YAAY!" Reena exclaimed, using all her effort on not moving her wrists
"Yeah" Suddenly Nightfire got an idea. It would hurt but it was the only way to save the adult Titans. He moved his wrists and easily broke free of the bindings, however acid poured down and he flinched in pain. He then used a Starbolt to undo the leg bindings and then he ran over to Reena. He used Starbolts to undo hers and she jumped out and hugged him.
"Thanks Nightfire" She whispered in his ear
"Uhm don't mention it" Nightfire forced out of his drooling mouth as she kept hugging
"Uh Reena?"
"Yeah"
"Can
you um let me go now?"
"Oh sure" Reena said as her face turned red
"Okay so now we just have to find Wingfire, which should be easy, this place isn't that big" Nightfire said
"But they'll catch us for sure! Are you crazy?" Reena exclaimed
"No I know it will work!" Nightfire said with a smile
"How do you know?"
" Cause I have the jewel of invisibility remember?" Nightfire said rubbing the small red jewel on the gold chain that hung from his neck
"You're still crazy," She muttered "But that's okay, that's what makes you special!" She exclaimed hugging him
"Okay lets go!" Nightfire exclaimed as he pressed the jewel and held onto Reena's hand. They were both turned invisible and they ran down the hallway
Little did they know someone was watching them.
"Run, run as fast as you can" Jinx giggled. She took a tracker out of her pocket. She had placed a tracking device on the little blonde haired girl
"Today just isn't your lucky day"…
Aqualad walked through the transporter door into the transporter room of Titans tower. He had promised to be there the next day and he always kept his promises. Plus he had something special to ask Raven. He looked around and there was no one there. He checked his digital watch. It was 6:30 a time they agreed upon yesterday to meet.
It's not like her to forget our dates Aqualad thought and shrugged. Maybe she had dozed off. He walked upstairs to her room and opened the door. She lay on the floor and it looked like she had been knocked out."Raven" He whispered into her ear picking her up. He checked her pulse. It was fine. He laid her down on her bed and left the room to investigate. He went up a level to the Logan section of the tower. Reena wasn't in her room. He walked over to Beastboy and Terra's room. Beastboy and Terra were knocked out cold. He ran up to the Grayson hallway. NO Nightfire or Wingfire and Starfire and Robin were knocked out cold. He went up to Cyborg's room and Cyborg was knocked out cold too. Someone must have filled the tower with knock out gas. Aqualad felt his head and blinked a few times. He was fine. The stuff must have gone out of the air. Snow still fell on Jump City but Aqualad went outside anyways. He flipped up his communicator screen and searched for Nightfire's communicator signal. He was underground in an uncharted part of Jump city's sewer caves. He pried up a manhole on the street corner and jumped in.
"Yuck! I'm only doing this for Raven" Aqualad stated as he trudged through the sewer waters. The water was getting deeper so he got ready to jump in. He patted his pocket and smiled.
'Wouldn't want the ring I'm going to ask Raven to marry me with to get sewer water on it' he thought as he dug it deeper into his pocket. He jumped in and swam…
