Chapter 2-
Who are you?
It was a seemingly normal day for 8-year old Karen.
The sun was shining..the birds were singing...
A normal,but beautiful day in the suburbs of Jump City.
She sat up in bed and yawned.She could smell the faint aroma of sausages and toast wafting up from the kitchen,which was just below her room,and she could hear distant conversation.She jumped up,and ran downstairs.
And ran straight into her father.
"Whooaaa...hey there!What's your hurry?",said her father.He was twenty-four years old,and had a tall,strapping figure.
He smoothed his jet-black hair,and shot a smile at his daughter.She grinned back.
He knelt down to her level and gazed into her green eyes.Just like her mother.
"Honey...you're late!"yelled a tall woman,seated at the breakfast table.
"OH MY GOD!Not again..no,no,no,no..."he shrieked,jumping up and knocking over a glass of juice.
"Where's my briefcase?Where's my keys?Where's my coffee?Where's my-"
He spotted his wife pointing at all of his things,set up near the door."Have a good day at work Boy Blunder.",she said smiling kindly.Karen smiled as she pecked her father on the cheek.
"Bye Daddy"she said.Her father smiled sheepishly and pecked her back.He then walked towards his wife.
God,she was so perfect.Even in a stained apron,she was beautiful...with her flowing red hair and those eyes...
"Have a good day at work friend Robin.."she whispered in his ear.She then pecked him on the cheek,handed him his belongings,and kicked him out of the door.He yelled in suprise as he was pushed towards his car.
"BYE HONEY!"she yelled,waving.She then smiled,and slammed the door.
He stared at the now closed door.And smiled.He got into the car.
"Good morning Mr Grayson.How's the wife and kid?"
Richard Grayson turned towards his chaffeur.Jeffrey.
"They're...just perfect.Drive on."he said.Jeffrey nodded,and the car drove off towards the city.

"Uuungh.."
Beastboy moaned as he got up from the hardwood floor.And blinked once he realized that he definitely "wasn't in Kansas anymore."
He appeared to be in a warm,cozy room.The walls were painted a warm peach,and to the right-side of the room there was a pool table and a couch.Supposedly a rec. room.
Suddenly,he noticed stairs.Going up.Funny how that wasn't the first thing he noticed.And as much as he wanted to stay and try a few rounds at pool,he DID have to find out where that thingamajig Cyborg had made had taken him.
Boy,was he gonna get Cyborg.
He climbed up the stairs and was faced with a solitary white-washed door.He gulped,and stepped through.And was faced with an eight-year old.
She wore denim overalls,and a striped t-shirt.She had a delicate face,with rosy cheeks and her hair was jetblack.
black as night,but the thing that struck him the most were her eyes.Emerald green eyes...where HAD he seen them before?
"Who are you?"she asked.He was struck by this question.Most girls would run and scream at a 'green little man'who had just popped up from below.Apparently,she wasn't like most girls.
"I'm...an...elf?"he muttered,scrambling around for anything that won't make this girl scream.She looked doubtful for a minute but laughed.
"Elves don't exist.Who ARE you really?"
BeastBoy was sweating.God,would she just stop looking at him like that?
Suddenly,a woman came into the hallway.
"Karen,where were you?I've been looking for you everywhere...-"
She caught sight of BeastBoy.He cringed.Ready for the screams.
Awkward silence...
Then,the room exploded in screams.
"WHO ARE YOU?WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE!GET OUT OF HERE!GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!"she screamed,shooing her daughter away.Beastboy backed away.Towards the door.
"Look lady..I...-wait a minute!"
She stopped as he stared at her."What?"she said,eyes narrowed.
"Oh nothing-" he stammered."Just that I recognized you from somewhere..."
She frowned."Look.I don't know who you are.I don't know how you got in.I don't know how you came near my daughter.
But I do know one thing.That you should get out of my house.Now."
BeastBoy hesitated.
"NOW!"she shrieked.BeastBoy jumped up,startled,and forgetting the door,jumped through an open window.As soon as he was on grass,he ran off down the street.
Kori Anders Grayson gazed at him as he disappeared around the corner.
"Mom?Who was that?"
She started.Her daughter was good at sneaking around..her parents had had to guard her when they were planning her birthdays.Aaah.The wonders of walkie-talkies.
"That was a friend of Mom's who couldn't stay very long...why don't you go play in your room?I'll be there to help you get ready for school okay?"
Karen nodded quietly and went off to her room.
She sighed and gazed at where he had stood.She felt that she had seen him before...but where?She could remember every single memory...but where HAD she seen him before?It was like a long-lost memory,deep in her mind.
Strange,but she felt like a part of her was missing.A big blank,where memories should have been.
But whatever.That could wait.But now,her daughter was waiting for her mother.
She sighed,and climbed up the stairs after Karen.

When BeastBoy stopped running,he found himself in front of a Quickie Mart.He'd gotten rid of the crazy lady.
where the heck had Cyborg's machine taken him?
He leaned against a wall for strength,and thought back.She looked exactly like Starfire...but more grown-up!
"Wait a minute.WHAT AM I THINKING?No WAY,Star has kids...no way...no way at all"
He shut his eyes and tried to calm down.
"Hey kiddo.Wanna newspaper?"
He opened his eyes to find a short man,dressed in a worn-out jacket and boots,holding up a newspaper.He nodded.
"Might as well."
The man nodded and handed him the paper.And eyed him up and down.BeastBoy noticed his stare and said "Yeah I know,
I'm green.Got a problem?"
"Nope.I've seen worse in the city...one chap was blue all over.Youngsters these days...not like good ol' 2006"
he muttered,walking off.
"If I had a penny for everytime I heard an adult say..-wait a minute?Good ol' 2006?"said Beastboy.He frantically opened the newspaper and looked at the right-hand corner.Sure enough,it said JANUARY 29,2015.
"OMFG!"he yelled,to angry stares from the shoppers.Ignoring their stares,he glanced down at the newspaper.And read the headline.
"RICHARD GRAYSON MAKES BIG DEAL WITH MONEYBUCKS ON DIAMOND DEAL"
BeastBoy yelled "OMFG!ROBIN!LOOK ROBIN!LOOK LOOK LOOK..-"
It was only now he noticed an overlooming security guard.Suddenly,BeastBoy was perspiring.
"Uh...my horoscope is true?"he stuttered...and screamed,"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
And still holding the newspaper,he ran towards the highway,the security guard holding a box of donuts and coffee for the poor,insane teenager.
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
BeastBoy ran behind the Quickie Mart and sighed.Two dangerous escapes in one day.This was getting tiring.He opened the newspaper and read through the article.
"Twenty-four year old Richard Grayson,who has just inherited his billion-dollar inheritance from Mr Bruce Wayne six years ago has made a deal with Mr Luke Anderson of the company MONEYBUCKS over a priceless diamond from Arizona.It will be premiered at the exhibit in Jump City,where Mr Grayson,along with his wife,Kori Anders Grayson,will be attending.
The exhibit is invitation on entry and is one of the major social events in Jump City all year.(For more information on how you can get your robot squeaky clean and rust free,turn to page 14."
BeastBoy stopped reading."Funny.I thought that they would've gotten rid of newspapers in the future."He read through it again.And sighed.
"Looks like ROb and Star FINALLY got together.FINALLY.And it looks like I'm heading out to Jump City.Home Sweet Home."
And he walked off towards the highway.He kept on walking..and walking..and walking...and finally came to a sign.
"FINALLY!I walked for like 10 minutes and my muscles ache already..."he muttered glancing at the sign.
"JUMP CITY-200 MILES"
He read the sign again with disdain and sighed.Turning towards the arrow on the sign,he turned into an eagle and flew off.
200 miles was a long way.
