Hope you like the new chapter. Thanks for the review from sweetnsexy2688. Please review!
"This is really complex, could you come here Zala", Gwen was having a lot of trouble finding out what the robots did.
"Um, sure. Just give me a second." Zala had found some kind of machine. It was like a large box with lines on the top. There was one large, straight line, going across, and a bunch of smaller, straight lines branching off at different points. She was trying to find out what it did, but was not having any success. She walked over to Gwen, who was bent over the blueprints sitting cross-legged on the stone floor.
"You're right, they are complex. You're the genius here; if you can't figure it out, I definitely can't. But maybe you can help me. Come over here." She dragged Gwen across the room to the boxlike machine. "Know what this is?" she didn't sound hopeful.
"No, but if you shut up, I may be able to find out." Gwen hadn't exactly been happy since she found out they were going to the past, but she realized it was the only way to get out of Warp's office.
"Hmm. I've seen this pattern somewhere, but I can't remember where exactly".
"Well that's no help, is it?" Gwen glared at her. They sat there for about seven minutes. Gwen was thinking about where she knew the pattern from, and Zala was chipping at the paint on the floor.
Gwen suddenly jumped up. "I know what this does. I don't remember where I saw this pattern, but I do remember what it's of".
"Really!" Zala looked up with a spark in her eyes.
"It's the time travel pattern. That thick line in the middle is the mainstream. Those lines branching off it are-"
"The paths that branched off of it" Gwen usually got really mad when Zala interrupted her, but instead she nodded and pulled Zala up.
"See that closet. I bet your dad keeps his time travel stuff in there". Before she could say anything else, the door of the closet opened on its own.
"It- it's a sign", they both laughed knowing it was only Zala opening it with her electronic powers.
Gwen was right. In the closet there were over twenty time suits, each in a different color. The closet, they found, was deeper than it looked. It was three rows deep of the equipment they needed.
"You never told me your dad owned his own clothing line." They were in awe.
"Soo, what are you waiting for? Pick a color!" Zala immediately walked over to an electric-blue-and-white one. "I like it".
Gwen spotted an orange-and-white one, "I think this color suits me, what do you think, Zala? Zala?" she looked around, but didn't see her. When she walked out of the closet, Zala was fully in uniform holding the blueprints. The color of the suit made her light blue eyes stand out. Especially with her mascara.
"Wow, you look great!"
"I thought we might need the blueprints. Oh yah, and this too." She held out "People of the Past" for Gwen to see. "I found an article on the Titans in here. I looked at it the other day. My dad highlighted the part where it said that Robin and Raven had disappeared together recently. I didn't think too much of it at the time, but I'm pretty sure he highlighted it because he's going to attack when they leave. Nobody knew where they went. It also said in the article that the Titans were invincible together, but when separated, they became beatable. And it said that Raven was the most powerful of the Titans. Proof enough, right?"
"Sure".
"Also, we'll have to make it sometime in the middle of 2004, so we can get there when Terra was a Titan. I feel so bad for Beast Boy. The one person who was actually right for him, died. I found the whole story online, and I'm going to make sure she doesn't go again." Suddenly, she got up. "Hold on. I need to do something." Zala ran over to the closet. With a wave of her hand, all the time travel suits were gone.
"Why did you do that?"
"So my dad can't follow us."
"Good point."
"Let's take everything we need and get out of here."
"We don't know how to operate these!"
"It doesn't matter, remember." Zala quickly flung out her arm and broke a light bulb."
"Let's go. You first." Zala put her hand out and sent Gwen back to 2004. Then she did the same with herself.
"Ow, my head hurts." Gwen said. "Where the hell am I anyway?" she was in the middle of a pile of suits and so was Zala. She screamed. "OH MY GOD THIS ACTUALLY WORKED! I SWEAR I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"Take it easy Gwen. Isn't this place amazing!" she looked up at the trees. "Too bad we don't have ones like these anymore."
"We don't have this many trees in one space. It's all developments. It's really kind of weird being here. And, um, sorry about my random moment of spazzing out."
"It's okay, I do that a lot."
"Really?"
"Yah. Pretty much everyone does."
"When was the last time you did it?"
"When the sixty-inch plasma moved into my room." Gwen sighed. That wasn't exactly what she meant.
"Let's transport the suits over to the Titans." Zala got up.
"How?"
"I figured out that these can fly." Gwen gulped. She had a nervous look on her face.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of heights, too!"
"Alright, I wont." Zala put her hands over her face. She needed someone who wasn't afraid of heights. It really helped her.
She sighed. "Looks like we'll just have to deal with it and, well, fly to Jump City. We won't need to control these or anything. I'll set them to autopilot."
"Ready?" Zala was prepared for the obvious, nervous no.
"Yah." Zala was really surprised. "I'm pretty sick of always being afraid, I'm ready for adventure, and saving the Teen Titans." She scanned Gwen's face for any kind of fear, but found determination. It made her feel a bit braver.
Zala held out her arms to her sides and everything levitated. Including Gwen and herself. They all went higher and higher. She noticed wings on the sides of the suits. They were pulled up so high that both of them shut their eyes. And suddenly, they were pulled forward so fast, that even if they tried they couldn't open their eyes.
They both felt something strange happen. They felt no wind rushing and they heard nothing, but it was too short to have stopped. Gwen opened her eyes and screamed. A glass semi-circle was placed around her head like on a space suit almost. She was really high up in the air and the ground was rushing past her. Zala kept her eyes shut.
Finally, they began to slow down. They landed right outside a giant T; obviously the center of the city. "Hmm, I wonder what that is?" Gwen looked up at the T and wondered what it was. It was really dark outside, so she wasn't sure what she was seeing.
"Welcome to Titans Tower." Zala stared up at it and smiled. "Our temporary home."
"How do you know they'll let us stay?"
"I don't."
"Basically you don't have a plan."
"Yah."
"Great." Zala walked up to the door and knocked. No answer. "Maybe this isn't the tower. Maybe it's that thing." She pointed at a random building on the mainland.
"We'll just have to try and find it, or maybe they're on a mission. This still could be it." They started to walk away when the door opened.
Both turned around to see a tall guy with half robotic parts, half human. He stared into Zala's face. "Sarasum?" He asked. They thought he was speaking some other language.
"Isn't Jump City in America?" Gwen asked Zala. She shrugged.
"Do. You. Speak. English?" Zala asked Cy.
"Yes. I do. Who are you and what are you doing here?" Just then it started to rain.
"I-" Zala started.
"Get in here. I know what it's like to get all rusty. Trust me, it is not fun. Anyways, I've got some questions for the two of you."
They walked into the large commons of the tower.
"How come you just let us in like that?"
"You look like- someone I used to know."
"Sarasum?" asked Gwen.
"Yah." Cy looked down and remembered the brave leader of the warrior people he had encountered in the past. But with that metal armory suit thing… she looks just like Sarasum, except her hair, he thought to himself.
"It seems like she was really important to you. So what do you want to know?" Her voice had a fun, energy to it. Something that Sarasum's voice lacked.
"What are your names?"
"Zala."
"Gwen."
"Where did you come from?"
"One hundred twenty years from now."
"Uh, right. Why did you chose to come here at 4o'clock A.M?"
"We didn't." Gwen responded.
"We just needed to get away from my dad before he got up. We've got something we need to tell you, but I'm tired right now so we'll tell you in the morning… you know, the LATE morning. So, uh where's the guest room?"
"We don't have a guest room. If you're going to sleep here, you'll either have to stay on the couch with Terra or on BB's bunk."
"Great! When did Terra arrive?"
"Tonight, why?"
"Oh, nothing. Night!"
"Night."
"Night. Wait a sec, if she's on the couch, where am I going to sleep?"
"BB's room. Here, I'll show you where it is."
Gwen followed Cyborg until he stopped at a room and knocked on the door.
"He's not much of a morning person, but he's actually really nice most of the time."
"HE! I'm sleeping in a room with a GUY? Since when is BB a guy's name? Is he a pervert? Please say no. Please say no. Please say no.
"Sorry, but this is the only place to sleep." She groaned.
The door opened. Gwen gasped. There was a short, completely green guy with purple and black clothing.
"What?" he asked sleepily.
"This is Gwen. She'll be spending the night on your bottom bunk."
"Why?"
"She has to. If her friend wasn't sleeping on the couch, she would be there too."
Gwen walked into his room and noticed that she couldn't see the floor. It was completely covered in clothes. Finally she got to the bed and almost immediately fell asleep.
