Here's the next chapter and you really should read "From the Future" to understand this story. I kind of forgot to mention that.
"Boy, I'm tired stiff," said Techna as she stretched,
"Why should you complain? You slept till noon while we were already trying to finish the decorations!" Stormy pointed out to her.
"Can you two stop arguing? Everyday I have to hear an argument about the tiniest things and it's really getting on my nerves," said Avalanche,
"So Avalanche, how are the crimes in your time like? Are the villains behaving?" Robin asked,
"Yeah, they don't cause much trouble during winter for some reason so I thought it was a good idea to come back to the past for a vacation," Avalanche replied.
In the kitchen, Spirit was helping Starfire with the cooking.
"May I ask of what has happened to Retta? Have found her body?" asked Starfire,
"Oh, well let's just say that Retta is gone for good," Spirit answered,
"Oh really? So how does her brother feel about it?" asked Cyborg when he walked to the fridge for a drink,
"Dakota doesn't feel that bad actually knowing that Retta is completely evil and that he accidentally joined up with the bad guys because of her influence," Spirit answered, and that's when Dakota walked in,
"Tell me about it, and if it wasn't for Techna, I would still be working for the wrong side. And I still can't thank you and your team enough for giving me a second chance, Spirit," he said,
"Everyone deserves a second chance," Spirit responded in whisper.
Everyone was catching up more on what the past and future titans were doing lately. But Beastboy had to tell and ask Shadow something,
"Are you nuts?" asked Shadow in a blunt voice,
"You and I know that I'm you future dad, you should know the answer to that," said BB,
"Not to be mean, but you actually found out that it was you? You didn't tell mom-I mean- Raven did you?" Shadow asked with a hint of worry in her voice,
"I'm not that stupid! So anyway, how am I supposed to tell Raven about how I feel about her?"
"Why are you asking me? Dude, just because I'm your future kid doesn't mean I know how express my feelings into words any more than you do," said Shadow,
"Do you have any advice at least?" asked Beastboy,
"Ask Techna or Robin or something. I don't know! I know you want help on this, but I'm not enough help so you better ask some more people and then I could be of some use…maybe."
"But I have no one else to get help from! My team doesn't know that I have a crush on Raven and what will they think if they found out?" Beast boy wanted to exclaim,
"Um, Future Dad, I've known Spirit all my life so I've known his parents for a long time too," Shadow started,
"What does he have to do with this?"
"His father is a smart person and I'd say that he already knows you like Raven by now if you do. And you do."
"So who is Spirit's father?"
"Of course I already knew," said Robin when the two approached the leader and dragged him into Robin's room for a private talk,
"WHAT!"
"Take it easy Beast Boy, I didn't tell anyone," said Robin, reassuring his friend.
"How did you find out?" asked BB,
"Well, I didn't exactly knew that you had a crush on Raven like around now, but I knew you would eventually because I could tell that you were Shadow's father when she first came back to the past," Robin answered and Shadow's eyes slightly widen in surprise that he knew that early.
"How exactly?" asked Beastboy,
"Shadow's traits. I also knew that you would find out because the traits that pointed the answer out to you were your traits too so of course you would notice. But I wouldn't say everyone on the team found out. I'm not going to point out every clue but I will say that the most obvious one was her clothing,"
"Wow, someone actually noticed how dressed," said Shadow and opened her cloak to look at the rest of her outfit,
"She wore the same colors you do: purple and black, her gloves looked as if they've been based off of yours and her belt is the same one you have," Robin pointed,
"I can't believe I didn't notice the belt," said BB,
"So, are you going to help him, Robin?" asked Shadow,
"I think I'll ask Cyborg and Starfire to help give you the confidence you need to confront Raven," Robin answered,
"You crazy!" both Shadow and BB cried,
"Not to be mean but Starfire can't keep her mouth shut very well," Shadow pointed out,
"And do you know how Cyborg is going laugh about it when he finds out?" BB pointed out as well,
Robin gave them a look, "Do you want help or not?" he asked.
"(Sigh) Alright then. Boy this is going to be embarrassing," said Beastboy,
"Hmm, oh yeah, I can tell that Robin is definitely his dad," said Shadow,
"Whose dad?" asked Robin with a clear question mark above his head.
"Oh no one," Shadow answered but was surprised she could find out who her parents were but he doesn't know his own kid.
R and R!
