Chapter Three

Starfire had begun cooking the evening meal when Cyborg and Beast Boy returned.

"What's the status?" Robin asked them.

"I got the ship hooked up to a charger." Cyborg told him. "It should be fully powered up in a few hours."

"Good. That gives us enough time to relax and enjoy dinner."

"What about our new friend?" asked Beast Boy.

"He's still in a coma." Robin replied. "Raven's running a blood test on both of us to see if he's a clone."

"I thought Speedy was your clone!" the changeling joked.

"Very funny." Robin said.

"Friends, my glorious dinner is finished!" Starfire exclaimed, bringing the meal to the small dining table. Sighing, the other Titans went to the dining area.

The dinner was surprisingly good, though rather moist. Afterwards, Beast Boy jumped to the lounge. "What do you think you're doing?" Cyborg asked him.

"What?"

"We still got work to do!"

"Oh, right." Groaning, Beast Boy went to the elevator with Cyborg.

Raven and the other two Titans went back to the infirmary. The other Robin was still asleep. They gathered around him. "No changes." Raven said.

"Must have been one hell of a shock he received." Robin commented. A beeping noise was heard.

"The computer's finished with its analysis." Raven said, going to the device.

Meanwhile, Cyborg and Beast Boy examined the T-ship. "Is it done yet?" the shape shifter asked.

Cyborg flipped a few switches. "Well, we can now access the on board computers." He activated the computers and began typing in commands. What he eventually saw surprised him. "Whoa! Check this out, BB" he said.

His friend joined him. "What am I looking for?"

"Look there!" Cyborg replied, pointing.

At first, Beast Boy didn't notice. Then, it struck him! "We better call Robin!" he said.

In the sick bay, Raven made sense of the data. "Well, it's official." she said. "He's not a clone."

The other two Titans were surprised. "So, if he's not a clone, then what is he?" Robin asked.

"He's you." the mystic replied.

"What!"

"His DNA is an exact match for you. Any way you look at it, he's you."

"Are you certain? Could he be some super-perfect clone?"

"I'm afraid not. There would be artifacts of cloning that the computer would pick up. It didn't see any of it."

"Well, check it again!"

"That would be pointless! Somehow, he is you!"

"I can't accept that!"

Starfire stepped between the two. "Friends, please! No more fighting over the new Robin!"

They stopped arguing. Then, Robin's communicator beeped. He took it out and opened it. "What is it?" he asked harshly.

"Robin, this is Beast Boy. We found out where the T-ship and the other Robin came from."

"Good job you two! Now, what's the answer?"

"You're not gonna believe this." said Cyborg. "They're both from the future!"

"What?"

"They're from the future Robin! Specifically, the day after tomorrow! At least that's what the T-ship computer says."

"Yeah," added Beast Boy. "And if the T-ship is from the future, then so is the other Robin!"

Robin was dumbfounded. "Thanks guys." he said, closing his communicator. "I'll be in my room."

He left the two girls to watch over his future self.
