Disclaimer: I dont own the Teen Titans, because if I did, Robin and Starfire would get married, and they would have babies, and there would be little starfires and little robins flying around Titans Tower, using Cyborg as a teething ring, and Beast Boy for piggy back rides, and Raven for story time. sniff sniff> Do I smell another story coming along? DONT STEAL IT ITS MINE!

Chapter Three

After explaining what happened, Brave Bow had a serious look on his face, but Speedy looked excited.

"I KNEW something was strange about you falling out of the sky. I almost guessed it too! Only, you didn't travel between dimensions, just time!" He paused for a second, and started laughing, "So, technically, you aren't even born yet! I'm like, almost 20 years older than you!"

"Well, technically, I guess." I said, thinking.

"I am sorry son, but you cannot stay. I understand that you had to leave, but you might have cause something horrible. You being here could drastically change the future."

"But Brave Bow, what if he was meant to travel back in time. What if history already had this recorded in time?" asked Speedy, trying to be logical about the situation.

"We cannot take that chance. Tim, do you still have the device that brought you here?" I nodded, and handed it to him. He studied it for a second, and handed it back.

"You must go back now. Who knows what kind of damage has been caused by your presence here. Quickly!"

I nodded sadly, looked at Speedy, and said goodbye. Closing my eyes, and bracing myself for another headache, I pressed the red button.

Nothing happened. I opened my eyes, and looked at the sphere. I pressed the button again. Nothing.

"OH GREAT! LEAVE IT TO FRANK TO MAKE A TIME MACHINE THAT ONLY GOES ONE WAY!" I said loudly, in anger.

"You must have taken the device before it was complete." Said Brave Bow. "This is bad. Very bad."

"Don't worry Brave Bow! We have an extra cot in the shed! If he came from the future, it means he has nowhere to go, so it's only polite to offer a place here to stay, right?" said Speedy.

Brave Bow said nothing for a while. Then, his face lightened slightly. "Of course. But if the future is run by monkeys because of this, I WILL spear you. Got it?" he said, looking at me.

"Got it." I said.

"Speedy, we can get the cot later. It's time for your training." Said Brave Bow. Speedy's face suddenly got serious. He stood up and picked a bow that was hanging off of the wall. I was sitting there, uncertain whether or not to follow, until Brave Bow inclined his head, motioning for me to come with them, his own bow in hand.

I stepped outside into the clearing. Speedy had taken a blindfold out of his pocket, and was tying it across his eyes. He picked up his bow expertly and readied himself.

"Wait…you're not going to try what I think you're going to try…" I asked, looking at him disbelievingly. Speedy just smirked, and motioned to Brave Bow. He had been standing by a long wooden pole that was protruding from the ground to the left of the house. Next to the log was a modern looking panel that was covered in about twenty different colored buttons. He pushed on the pole, and suddenly things started popping out from the greenery. Targets were shooting up from the tall grasses, ugly monsters coming out from behind tree trunks, even children playing jacks popping up out of no where. Ropes that I had not noticed before held moving targets in mid-air.

These things barely came out of hiding before Speedy had put an arrow or two through them. "Now I know why he calls himself Speedy!" I thought. Suddenly large logs were shooting up from the ground, right where Speedy was standing. It listed him in the air long enough for him to shoot one of the moving targets on the rope. More logs were beginning to show them selves. He jumped from one to another with expert agility that I had only seen from myself (not to be cocky…), all the while grabbing arrows, and putting them through the appropriate targets. Not only was he hitting every one, he hit them with dead-on accuracy. As things stopped moving, he did a back flip off of the last log, releasing an arrow, as he was upside down in mid-air.

He landed and took off his blindfold. He walked over to where the panel was, a sour look on his face. He pressed one of the buttons, which released the target he shot at last. It fell to the ground, and Speedy went to retrieve it. He handed it to Brave Bow, and sat down moodily on the porch. Brave Bow nodded, studying the target.

"3 quarters of an inch off. It's an improvement from yesterday, but still not good enough. Accuracy is…" He said.

"I know, I know…Accuracy is the most important key to becoming a perfect archer." I looked at them both like they were crazy. He was upset about 3 quarters of an inch?

Speedy looked at me. "I'm in training to become the greatest archer in the world. Even better than The Green Arrow. He's my hero. Just wait, one day I will work with him." Said Speedy proudly.

"Well, that won't happen if you keep missing the last target. It's not over until they're all perfect." He suddenly lost his drill sergeant tone, and said, "It's been a long day. Why don't you take the rest of the day to show Tim around the city. I'm sure he will have to be introduced to a lot of unfamiliar things here."

Speedy nodded, and jumped up. He flew into the house and put the bow away.

"Come on, I will show you my favorite landmarks." He said, rushing back out, and grabbing me by the arm. "See you later Brave Bow!" he called behind him.

"Don't stay out too late. The city is dangerous at night! And try to stay out of trouble!" he called back, but I don't think Speedy heard him. It didn't matter. Something was bound to happen anyway…and it did.
