Walk on Water

Chapter 3: Future and Truth

"Yes...I forgot how close you've grown to them and I regret telling you. But you can't save them. The end of the titans is written in history to happen tomorrow and this is the last you'll ever see them. I must take you to the palace though." Slade said and started walking over to Robin. Pushing Raven away, Robin pulled out his bo staff and was ready to go into any battle Slade could dish out.

"You want me, you'll have to fight me first" he said and started to twirl the staff around.

"Robin, come now" He said motioning with his hand to come.

"If you want Robin you'll have to go through me" Raven said, her hand glowing as she tried to protect Robin.

Then Slade pushed her over and grabbed Robin and started to walk away. As they walked Robin yelled back to Raven.

"RAVEN! DON'T DIE! I'LL COME BACK IN A LITTLE WHILE! UNTIL THEN GO HOME!" Robin yelled at her as he was pulled away.

"I'LL WAIT FOR YOU!" Raven said, still on the ground. Tears were pouring out of her eyes. She tried to use her powers but it was impossible(Her emotions!) . She just sat and watched Robin fade away.

Robin punched, kicked, and did anything to try and get away. He was trying to get back to Raven but it was impossible with a strong guy holding on to both of your arms.

"Let me go! I need to save Raven!" He yelled, getting angrier every second.

"No! You need to get back to your own time!" Slade said harshly. It wasn't more than a second later they were actually at the portal to the future. Slade pushed Robin in and then went in himself. He then closed the portal so no one could get through.

What Robin saw was so amazing to him that he couldn't stop looking. Everything was destroyed and looked low tech, even lower than stuff from the 1800's. Robin thought that they accidentally went back in time. But then Slade said "This is it. The future". Robin looked around. No one was there. The city looked more like a grave-yard then the hustling city he had imagined. He couldn't help but laugh and say "That's it! It looks like were in the dinosaurs time!".

"Don't judge from appearances, the city has been struck by Diablos far worse than Azerath. When Diablos destroys a planet he gets the life and power it contained. So being 40 years since you saw him then you really haven't noticed how strong he's gotten." Slade not even looking at Robin just looking forward. "And about the technology, well we had so advanced technology that it caused a gap in the alternate universe, causing the whole world to fall into ruin. The world is very disgusting, we have no electricity, no air conditioning, heck no Super heroes to stop crime. It's a disgusting place, the future. That's why a far more prefer being in your time. Technology is there" He said. Robin looked around, it definitely looked like a black hole hit. But then Robin stopped to think about what Slade said.

"Wait, Diablos is a he, a person, a human being?" He asked.

"No, not exactly. Diablos really is a demon, but it wasn't that way always. He was your age and was so much like you. He was a boy that hunted demons as a living. He one day got hurt by a demon and later killed the demon. But the wound was very deep and strong. The doctors and he overlooked it, but one day when he was looking out his apartment window he felt the wound hurt to a high level. He went into the emergency room and well.."

-Flashback-

"He's losing a pulse" one of the nurses cried out.

"Uhh..AHHH...uh." He called and yelled out. He was in pain, so much that he was sure he'd die.

"Shock him" the doctor said and then the boy felt a jolt on his bare chest. The wound had a temporary fix and then went to an even higher level pain. He couldn't bare it.

"Will he be okay?" Laine said, his wife that 9 months pregnant. She was so scared that she was sickened by the sight of his misery. She was shaking uncontrollably and her teeth were chattering. Laine's father was there and was scared as well, Laine would never be happy if he died. The room grew silent. Then all of a sudden Laine felt herself get pains...she was in labor.

"Quick get her next door, keep him stabilized and make sure he doesn't go unconscious!" The doctor left the room to help Laine. She was really far along. Her water must of broke before she got there. She was almost ready to give birth.

"I thought these pains were me being scared for Mike (a.k.a.: the boy) but then I remember that this could be labor signs, ugh how could I be so stupid!" Laine said between breathes.

Next door Mike was in serious condition. He was expected to die any second. Then all of a sudden a big purplish black cloud rose from the wound. The arm soon turned a pale grey and then his chest, it wasn't to long until he was completely pale. Then he disappeared. The nurse soon looked at the sheets. Written in blood was a sign saying "The girl is first, then the boy, then the universe" The nurse ran next door to warn the doctor, but it was to late, Laine had died during birth, but she had given birth to the baby. A black haired baby boy.
