16 years into the future.
Victor Stone looked down at the piece of paper he had in his hands. Many emotions visible in his human eye. Curiosity, disbelief, worry was among the many things he was feeling. He had been summoned to come to Gotham alone. His teammates were not to be told where he was going. And according to the note he would be able to send for them a week after his arrival. All of this was not what had peaked Vics' curiosity and bewilderment though. The last line of the note "Concerning your long lost birds. Signed a friend"
This could be a trap victor knew that well it was no secret that Jump had lost two of its greatest heroes 16 years ago, but he had a feeling it wasn't a trap but a lead to follow and finally get some answers on his missing family. So he knocked on the huge oaken doors of the sprawling mansion. He was more than a little surprised when a boy who couldn't be more than 16 himself answered the door. Not quite what he expected.
Victor rubbed the back of his head unconsciously
"Can I help you?" the boy asked not impolitely, in fact he sounded as if he had just woken up.
"Uhh yea, I think. I was supposed to meet someone here?" the cybernetic mans voice had a bit of confusion laced with it
"Oh you must be the guy the old man told me about. Victor stone was it?" He received a nod in return
"Terry McGinnis" Terry extended his hand and was surprised at the strength yet gentleness the man used with his steel hands.
"Follow me, the old man is expecting you" he waved the visitor in
"Uh does this old man have a name? It wouldn't be very I dunno proper to say Hello old man, the names Victor stone you sent for me?" Amusement was apparent in the massive mans voice.
"Oh Wayne, Bruce Wayne."
Before Vic had time to process the information further, he knew he had heard that name somewhere before. Besides on the financial news network that is. They were there
"Old man you have a visitor" Terry announced to the aging man sitting in a chair hands perched atop a cane and head perched on the hands. He rose to acknowledge his company
"Thank you Terry that'll be all for now take Ace for walk would ya"
"C'mon mutt" the boy grouced as the dog walked up beside him, stopping for only a moment to sniff the newcomer. He wagged his tail in acceptance and Terry and Ace were off
"Glad you could make it Cyborg" old though he may be Bruces' voice came off as authoritive and yet accommodating,
"Of course Mr. Wayne but may I ask why I was summoned? What do you know about Rob and Rae?" Cyborg was doing his best to keep the impatience out of his voice
"More than you'd guess" came the reply in an almost wistful tone Cyborg picked up immediately
"Follow me there are a couple of people I'd like you to meet, then I'll explain everything" Bruce motioned with his free hand they came to another door Victor following quietly. He noted two voices coming from behind the door and with his enhanced hearing he could just make out what was being said.
"GAH that's three in a row" grouced a male voice
"Oh lighten up boy blunder winning isn't everything" came the girls even voice
"Yea its just the only thing that matters" the boy pouted
"Don't make me hurt you" came the girls reply a joking quality about it
Cyborg smiled to himself that brought back memories. Bruce opened the door and the two youngsters on the floor looked up a game of some sort in between them the girl's pile of houses and hotels indicating she had won. Cyborgs human eye widened the two looked so familiar somehow then it hit him. Lavender eyes NO it cant be he thought to himself
"Mary, John I have someone I'd like the two of you to meet" Bruce announced the two stood up and Cyborg was able to get a good look at them. The girl was about 5'3 her hair came to about mid back and was solid black save for two lavender strands that framed her face. Now that she was more in the light he was certain this girl looked identical to Raven in the face. The boy was much taller than his sister nearly 6 feet tall his hair was nearly to his shoulders and appeared to be jet black, that is until the light hit revealing the lavender highlights his nose and mouth were the same as Robins and the smirk on his face after he playfully jabbed his sister in the side left no mistake
"This is Victor, he was a friend of your parents" Bruces introduction had broken the mechanical mans state of reverie
"Nice to meet you" Mary stepped up and shook the towering mans hand John followed suit
"We'll be back in a while to discuss more you two, clean up and meet for dinner in an hour ok?" Bruces' stern voice broke through anything that was about to be said or asked. The siblings nodded and victor followed Bruce down the hall
"They are exactly who you think t hey are" came the old mans reply
"But how" came the mechanical mans reply "I don't understand"
Bruce sighed, "I was supposed to write you.. All of the Titans, but I didn't I wanted to keep the twins hush hush as long as possible. They have been asking lately though and being as they will turn 16 in a few weeks I thought it'd be best to finally clear the air.
"But when did Rob and Rae have the time. I didn't even think they liked each other, well not in that way, is that why they left? Oh man I'm going to have t o tell Star" Bruce clearing his throat interrupted Cyborgs string of thoughts.
"Its not what it seems. Or rather its now how it seems" they settled into two chairs in a small study Bruce had locked the door behind him
"The children are clones or more accurately genetically engineered they are Robin and Ravens children. They were created for one reason. Control. Control over their parents"
"but who would do such a thing" Cyborg found himself getting angry at this unknown evil
"You know the man although I suspect you haven't heard anything from the man in nearly 17 years." Bruce sighed
"I don't follow, who would be so cruel," CY, questioned
"you know him as Slade" Bruce stated it simply
"No" Cyborgs eye widened in shock "but what happened to Robin and Raven?"
"They brought the children to me, their master had ordered they be quick or else. They left them for me only having enough Time to name the little ones and Raven explained a few things about the powers they would inherit the charkas they each wear are the same as their mothers and she left her rings one for each. Its all they had time for they had to get back, I honestly don't know what happened to them I tried for years to track them down as you did but to no avail" Bruces head slumped slightly "I failed them in the end"
"No you haven't, their children are safe and sound that's what they asked of you right?" Bruce nodded "hey we'll get them back" something struck Cyborgs curiosity "what are their full names
"Mary Arella And Richard John Grayson"
Cyborg smiled "that makes sense sentimental old fool Raven is even though she'd never admit it to anyone" cy mused to himself more than to the old bat in front of him
A/N slightly shorter than the first and a bit pointless but needed the plot will show more in the up coming chapters ok that's all for now lovelies please review (hugs)
