Disclaimer: I dont own the Teen Titans, or Batman, and oh yeah, I didnt own Batman during the creation of those other chapters as well, just in case you were wondering whether or not I inherited the Batman name or whatever. Unfortunately, I didnt. BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO COOL! I forgot, I dont own Speedy Comics either, seeing as the last time one was produced, I WASNT EVEN BORN YET!

Chapter Eight

I was on my way to Titans Tower after being summoned, calling it an emergency. It was much easier traveling, now that I got my belt back, but it sucked having to be at some control-freaks beck and call (not that I answered his calls every time.) I could tell this was serious though, so I managed to get there within 20 minutes. As I entered the common room, and found everyone there, even Titans East. They all looked at me sadly.

"What's going on?" I asked, looking from face to face.

Robin had a complicated looking cell phone in his hand. He held it out to me, and said, "It's time for you to go home Tim."

I looked at him in shock. I thought the only people in the room who knew who I really was were Speedy and Starfire.

"I don't understand…how do you…what are you…can someone fill me in?"

"We got a phone call buddy. It was from Batman. Turns out he detected the energy from your time machine about six years ago, when you first got here." Explained Speedy.

"He has been working since that time on a way for you to get back. He says your displacement could unravel the fabric of time, and seriously alter our future." Said Starfire. I noticed (happily I might add) that she was on the verge of tears.

"But, how does he know all this? How can I alter time? I'm just one small person!" I asked no one in particular.

"We don't know how he knows, but he said something about a 'message from the future.' If you don't go back, we won't exist in the future. Not even you." Said Raven, her hood back this time, and I could see her face clearly for what was probably the last time.

"I get it. This is serious. Do you know when I am getting back? I mean, how old will I be? Will I still be living at Franks? Will I remember any of this when I get back?"

"We don't know man. All we know is if you don't get back by midnight tonight, we can kiss our futures goodbye." Said Beast Boy, his ears drooping slightly.

I was silent for a while. Then I walked away, going into someone's bedroom. I took off the costume that brought me so much for the past few years. I was changing into normal clothes when I saw this pen and a pad of paper lying on the nightstand.

If I don't remember any of this, I just want to say one thing: I have never had greater friends than the ones I met here. Speedy, a brother I never had; Robin, a punk, but still someone who I can relate to; Starfire, the cutie who if we had met under different circumstances, I would have stolen from Robin; Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven, great people who kept me sane when Robin was enjoying controlling me a little too much; the rest of Titans East: Aqualad (you're not that cute), Bumble Bee (ask Cyborg out) and Mas & Menos (stick together, a friend is the best thing you could ever have.)

Its time for me to go, the clock just struck half past eleven. Well, I can't really say goodbye, so…………………………………..
