Chapter Two

I woke up to a sharp pain throbbing in my arm. I groaned. It felt like someone had hit me with a semi-truck. Someone gasped in shock. I opened my eyes, and discovered the source of the pain in my arm. A boy, about my age, had a stick and was poking me.

"Whaterudoin?" I asked all groggily.

The boy gasped again. Then, somewhat calming down, he answered, "You fell out of the sky! Did you jump out of a plane with no parachute? Or did someone push you? What's that? Is that an inter-dimensional device that allows you to travel between universal time spectrums? Did you come from a parallel universe? Are you a copy of someone here? Oooohh, are you an escaped clone from a mad-scientists lab, out to destroy your original copy so you can take over their life? Cuz you know that would be so cool." He said, eyes wide, a smile growing on his face.

"You lost me at the spectrum-thing." I said, trying to follow his thought pattern. "You got any aspirin or something? My head is killing me."

"Wow, you speak really good English for an alien!" he said, sounding like a kid at a carnival, in awe of what he was seeing.

"Whoa! Who said I was an alien?" I said. Was this guy crazy or something?

He looked a little disappointed and said, "It was just a thought." He paused, and took a deep breath out of aggravation, and said in an irritated voice, "Well then what are you?"

"Don't you mean who am I?" I asked, my temper rising a little.

"I've never seen a human fall out of the sky like that and survive." He said, sitting now crossed legged, rocking back and forth with excitement, I'm sure.

I struggled to sit up, my head pounding with every heartbeat. "At least I know I'm alive. Unless this is hell." I thought to myself. I looked at the boy, and said, "Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but I am human. My name is Tim Drake."

"Hi! My name is Roy. Roy Harper Jr.! But you can call me Speedy. It's my new nickname! Glad to meet you!" He stuck out his hand and shook mine eagerly.

I couldn't believe this guy. He thought I was an alien, and was still hospitable.

"Who taught you your manners?" I asked, jokingly.

"Oh, just Brave Bow. He's my guardian. Come on! I want you to meet him. Maybe he has something better to give you for your headache than aspirin." He grabbed my arm and pulled me off the ground.

We started running towards the forest, away from the houses that lined the park I had fallen in.

"Where are we going?" I asked, confused.

"Home!" he said simply, and for some reason, that made me smile.

We rushed past the leaves and greenery. Roy…I mean Speedy…was lucky that I was fast. It took all of my speed to keep up with him. The forest got denser as we traveled through it. After what seemed like hours, we finally came upon a clearing, a small, rustic looking hut standing in the center.

"This is your home?" I asked in shock.

"Yeah! What's the matter? Too low-tech for you, space-boy?" he asked sarcastically, expecting some kind of insult.

But I just shook my head, and smiled. "No, it's perfect!"

We rushed to the house, and was met on the porch by an old man dressed from head to toe in beated hand sewn leather: classic Indian apparel. "That explains the name." I thought to myself.

"Young child, who is this you brought with you?" asked Brave Bow, in a booming voice. It wasn't accusing, just powerful. His voice demanded respect.

"This is Tim Drake, Brave Bow. He fell out of the sky!" said Speedy.

Brave Bow looked at me with raised eyebrows. He scanned my appearance (which was looking very harassed at the moment, seeing as I had just jumped between time-periods.) After a quick nod, he said, "Bring your young friend in. Perhaps he can explain to us what made him fall from the sky. Why don't you get him acquainted with his surroundings while I make tea." He looked straight at me. I thought I saw the faintest smile as he said, "Great for headaches."

I gaped at him, but before I could say another word, he disappeared into the house.

"H-how did he know?" I asked Speedy, my eyes wide with shock.

Speedy just laughed, and shrugged his shoulders. He ushered me into the house, and gave me a small tour of the building. A very small tour, seeing as there was only one floor, and three rooms.

"The living room triples as a kitchen and a bedroom. Brave Bow gets his own room, because he needs to be "completely secluded in order for the ancestral spirits to contact him." Personally, I think its because he's being stingy… and here is the bathroom."

"Wow…I half expected an outhouse." I said, being sarcastic.

"Expect the unexpected. We're not as behind in times as you think…unless your cars can levitate." Said Speedy, just as sarcastic. I started laughing, and we returned to the living room, where Brave Bow was done making the tea.

He was sitting on the floor, cross-legged, holding a steaming cup to his lips, two more cups set out in front of him. Speedy sat down and grabbed one of the cups. I did the same, uncertain of sitting on the floor.

"YOU NEVER SIT ON THE GROUND IN THE PRESENCE OF YOUR HOST!" boomed Brave Bow loudly. Shocked, I stood up quick, stiff as a board, bands at my side, as if I were under inspection. I relaxed a little when Brave Bow slapped his knee, and started laughing heartily, Speedy joining him.

"I was joking, kid! Relax; I won't spear you unless you give me a reason to. Sit! Drink!" I smiled awkwardly, and sat back down. I took a sip of my tea silently. The minute the hot liquid hit my lips my headache vanished. I looked up at Brave Bow in surprise.

"I take it Speedy didn't tell you I am a medicine man, did he?" he asked.

"He missed that part of the tour." I said, feeling 150 times better than what I did a minute ago.

"Now tell us, I am curious to know. Why did you fall from the sky?" asked Brave Bow, his face turning serious. I took a deep breath and looked at each of them in turn.

"Because…I came from the future…………"
