Disclaimer I don't own Teen Titans
A/N all right sorry about the lateness, I've been insanely busy,
Cardinal
let his cloak fall, all the Titans stared, he had orange skin, he was
a Tamaranian, but his extremely green eyes were covered by a mask.
His outfit was a tight red shirt with tight black pants, with small
black shoes. On his hands he wore green fingerless gloves and on the
right side of his chest was a red C. Robin, as well as the other
Titans couldn't hep but notice that he was dressed in almost the
same outfit as Robin. A few seconds passed, then Cardinal let out a
sigh and sept forward.
"Robin,
it is a pleasure to see you again,"
Robin looked bewildered "we've never meet,"
Cardinal just smiled and said, "well not yet at lest," before any of them could reply he turned to Crow. "Crow, let's go."
Crow nodded and enveloped both teams in a black aurora, seconds later they repaired inside Titans Tower's main room.
"Well this place certainly seems different," said Beast Girl looking around.
"Well makes sense doesn't it," Bolt said also looking around.
"I don't mean to interrupted," Robin said calmly "but WHO ARE YOU?"
The new Titans turned Cardinal smiled "come now Robin, just because you never figured out who Slade was doesn't mean you can't figure out who we are." he crossed the room and sat on the sofa "or more importantly who I am."
Robin robbed his chin thinking, all other titans old and new were watching him with interest, 'put the clues together, it can't be a Tamaranian fan boy, that wouldn't fit, so who?' then a thought hit him like a train "are you," he pointed at himself.
Cardinal grinned and nodded
"Then that means," he gestured toward Starfire.
Cardinal grinded more and gave a "yep."
"Then that means those two," he pointed at Crow and Beast Girl "are . . . "
"Right on the money."
Without another word Robin went redder then his shirt and fell face down on the floor, Starfire was at his side in a second.
Cardinal just gave a small laugh and turned to Crow saying "he reacted better then I though."
"I still don't like doing this," Crow stated in a somewhat stresses voice.
"Well no helping it now," Crow glared then gave a sigh, then looked at Raven who had on an emotionless look on her face.
"I take it he's," she pointed to Cardinal, Crow nodded, "then you," she added, he nodded again, silence "should I ask."
"If you do, I won't tell," Crow said in the same monotone as Raven.
While that was going on Cyborg, figuring out who they were, was laughing so hard he almost fell down. Starfire was trying to wake Robin up, still confused, and Beast Boy was just stood looking dumbfounded.
"All right, now that they've figured it out, tell me who you are," he gestured angrily at Beast Girl
"Beast Boy," came a calm voice from the floor, Robin was rising "these," he took a deep breath trying, and failing to hid the red on his face. "Are our children." Cyborg stopped laughing both Starfire and Beast Boy looked stunned.
"My dad," said Cardinal getting up "is right, we are the second generation Teen Titans." a second passed then Beast Boy broke out in laughter.
"What a good joke, very amusing," his word trailed off as he was now staring at a picture of him grown up and holding a small green girl.
"That's me when I was seven months old," said Beast Girl letting Beast Boy take the picture "dad," she added.
Beast Boy was in a stunned silence, as were the rest of the Titans, then after a few seconds he said "there had better be a good explanation for all this."
"Alright, I suppose I should start at the beginning, in about ten years the Teen Titans, you all, will officially disband." The titans looked shocked "however, they join the Justice League and remain a team. Now here's where things get odd, the Teen Titans were named as the official representatives to any new super hero." The titans looked dumbfounded "that means that they find and bringing up any prospering super heros for the Justice League. That more then anything is why Klal is after you."
There was a moment of silence were Cardinal's word hit the Titans then Robin asked "so who is this Klal?"
"I'll take it," said Crow standing "to be perfectly honest we haven't a clue. But from what we've been able to peace together he was a man who, well it sum it up he's a mutated human demon. As weird as that sounds it's as close to the truth as we can get," the titans still had a stunned look.
"But way was he after us?" Cyborg asked.
"He isn't," said Bolt lay down on the sofa, "he's just after one," he looked right at Robin, all other eyes turned in suit.
"Why me?" asked Robin puzzled.
"Cause of me," Cardinal said pointing to himself "see he wants to hid himself of the one who will bet him, me."
"So he went into the past to kill me so I won't have you," Robin said hurriedly.
"Exactly," Cardinal replied.
"But how are we to defeat this creature Klal?" Starfire asked worried.
"Leave that to us," said Beast Girl smiling, "if anything happened to you then we wouldn't be here."
"But if we're killed then how will you exist to come back and tell us all that you've told us," said Cyborg.
All looked at him Bolt spoke up "Cy there's one very important lesson involving time travel, don't ever ask about it."
"It will only make you're head hurt," said Beast Girl with a smile "beside you would already know cause we just told you." all titans old and new shook their heads vigorously.
"Look, it doesn't matter all we know is we need to kick his butt before he tries to kill you, again," Cardinal said sullenly.
"What about any body else," asked Robin calmly.
"Klal, believe it or not is actually very honorable, he will not take hostages, or make victims of the innocent." The rest of the new Titans nodded their heads in agreement.
"I still want two questions answered," Robin said firmly, "one, how do we bet Klal?"
Cardinal thought for a second then said, "well since it's you he's after, will just wait for him to strike, that way he won't catch us off guard."
"That's reasonable," replied Robin "and the second," he went a little red "when do Star and I get together."
At that both teams laughed, even Crow and Raven smiled, but before Cardinal could answer the alarm went off. Robin was at the computer in a flash.
"Trouble, Plasmus, causing a mess downtown, Titans move," at that all Titans old and new sprang from where they were.
The old Titans stared at the new "hey, I said will guard you, that means missions," Cardinal said with a shrug.
"But don't you think this is overkill?" asked Robin.
"I will elect to wait here for your return," Crow said turning back to the large sofa, the rest stared after him.
"I will elect with you," Bolt said following him.
"Right they'll hold down the fort, now Teen Titanses," Cardinal stammered," a skip it, lets just go."
With that they all filed out the door leaving Crow and Bolt behind, "chess?"
