A/N: I do not DC/Marvel. However Anna Logan is my OC.
After everything that happened to Mar'i, from the night before, she still found the energy to get up from the soft, comfortable bed she was sleeping on (It also helped that she had Anna heal her). She started walking up the stairs leading up to the roof. When she went through the door, she saw her mom sitting on the ledge of the building. The sun was still below the horizon, getting ready to rise. She wanted to leave but before she could, her mom turned her head around and smiled at her, "I see I have the visitor to accompany me on this glorious sun rise."
Mar'i couldn't resist her lips curling into a smile. When was the last time she and her mother would get to spend a moment like this? Two, three years? "Yeah, I heard that the roof was the best spot to watch a sun rise." She said as she walked near her mom. The sun was slowly making its way through the sky. A million thoughts came rushing to Mar'i's head when she sat next to her teenage mother. It was still felt kind of awkward around her teenage family.
When the sun's rays started hitting them both, Mar'i took a moment to appreciate the look of happiness on her mother's face before her own joy took over, and Mar'i started floating off the ground. Before Starfire could utter a sentence, she looked shocked at Mar'i but didn't say anything about her time-travel friend's floating ability; instead keeping an incoming thought to herself. Starfire deemed it would be something worth discussing with Robin later during the day. So for the rest of the sun rise, they observed sun in peace and quiet, something they both didn't mind.
When the sun rise was over, Mar'i excused herself to med-bay to check up on Damian. Instead she found his bed already made, it was something that shouldn't shock her because of knowing how he was raised, but that didn't help her heart rate from spiking up. She decided to speed walk to the gym to check if Damian was there and she breathed a sigh of relief when she found him hitting a dummy with loud thunderous thuds. "So fully recovered?" She asked.
Damian didn't turn his head, "I could ask you the same thing, Grayson."
"Well I'm not the one hitting the punching bag."
"Well, I was going to ask you to come training with me." He said as he stopped hitting the bag and turned to look at the young woman behind him.
She was shaking her head as she smiled, "Let's be honest, there's no way that we'll be training the whole time." She walked with more strut in her step closer to Damian. A finger traced along Damian's chest.
Robin was making sure that every Titan returned to their respective hubs and he once re received confirmation, he put away his communicator. He then turned his sights to the DNA samples he had collected from his companions. He wanted to know more about these people and to see if they had any ulterior motives. He was waiting for the test results to come back and the computer screen gave a soft ring to let him know the results were completed. He scanned what the results were telling him but the results shook him to his core: the tanned girl with black hair was his and Starfire's daughter. He was trying to comprehend how this was happening.
"Friend Robin." He heard Starfire softly say, "There is something that requires your attention."
"Go on."
"Your savior, Mary, joined in the watching of the sun rise. I was going to talk to her but I saw her floating, almost like she was feeling happy like myself and many Tamareans."
Robin sighed, "Starfire you should look at this," Robin gestured to the computer screen.
Starfire was at first was confused by the jargon that was on screen, until she saw her's and Robin's name appear over the DNA; she pointed her finger at the screen, "Does that mean she's our…"
"Daughter." Robin completed her sentence. Starfire was happy for a moment but then her expression turned sour. "Star, are you okay?"
She held her left forearm with her right hand, "I am confused, friend Robin. There are days where you want to be more than 'just' friends with me, then there are times when you wish remain friends."
Robin couldn't say anything to reassure Starfire, "Look Star, we're public figures and everyone knowing that we're an item would make our lives harder. It's easier if everything were to remain just casual between us."
Tears were threatening to form from her eyes, "It might be easier for you, but for Tamareans, our hearts aren't on a lease." She said before storming out the door, leaving Robin alone to contemplate what he said.
It seemed that no matter the distance between him and Batman, he wouldn't realize how many habits he inherited from Batman; whether it would be keeping secrets or distancing himself from romance.
Damian and Mar'i were both panting, sweating profusely as their bodies were resting against the wall. "You got lucky, Mar'i." Damian said in-between breaths.
"Not my fault that you lost focus," She chuckled with Damian rolling his eyes in response. Damian couldn't help to stare lovingly at Mar'i.
"Sorry, when I see a pretty woman I tend to lose focus especially when that pretty woman happens to my girlfriend," he said as he cupped her face.
Suddenly they both fell to their knees, holding their heads as they felt it was going to explode, "Oh no! Not you guys too!" Yelled Jai as struggled to lift up Mar'i, but when he was able to get her arm over his shoulders, he bolted to the Comms room. He gently released Mar'i to the ground and returned to get Damian.
He looked at Raven, who had a containment field around Anna, and asked, "Can you help the rest of them?"
"First, I have to make sure that your friend, Anna, doesn't destroy anything with her powers, then I can tend to the rest of your friends." Raven responded.
"D-do, you have any idea whats wrong with them?"
"Unfortunately I can't trace the problem right now." Raven paused for a second and she glanced at the missing section of wall and flooring. "Do you think you could tell what happened before they started losing control."
Jai took a second to process everything he saw and recount it, "We were laughing at Lian's jokes then they suddenly started having seizures."
Raven felt Anna's pulse, there was still a heart beat, but she noticed something about her ears: they were pointy. She didn't know anyone else with pointy ears except
Beast Boy. She wanted to delve into this teenager's memory but her morals prevented her from reading her mind. She wanted to know more but she thought another time might be more appropriate.
*An Hour Later*
Raven decided to call Cyborg over to the Comms room, she had to ensure that he wouldn't freak out over a missing section of the wall.
Although he was pissed at the missing section, he couldn't be too mad since it was a somewhat easy repair by turning his hand into a sharp needle-like blade and inserting into the weird input. With a couple twists of his hand, he managed to fill up the missing section with the wall Turing transparent, allowing the Titans to see the outside world while the outside won't be able to see the inside.
While Raven and Cyborg were busy talking to each other, Anna woke up and saw that her friends were starting to wake up as well. Anna felt like her mind was being torn apart into two. It felt like she lived into two different timelines. Before she could dwell more on her own thoughts, she looked at Mar'i, and she felt the same feeling that was on Mar'i's mind, "Hey," she shook Mar'i's shoulder, "is there something wrong?"
"Maybe, it's a little hard to describe."
"Test me." Anna replied with Damian and Lian now listening in on the conversation.
"It feels like I know you guys, yet at the same time I lived a whole life where I haven't met you guys. I know it sounds weird but that's what's bothering me." It was the same thing that Anna was feeling but she was forcing that feeling elsewhere
Damian grabbed Mar'i's hand, "Are you forgetting about us?"
"I hope not." She stared into Damian's eyes, "But we need to start finding out who Hydra's enemies are before I lose more memories."
Damian shook his head, "Right, let's continue looking through those papers!" While Damian and Mar'i went towards Cyborg and Raven, Lian and Anna stayed behind.
It was obvious that something was bothering Lian too. "You felt it too, didn't you?" Lian asked Anna.
"I didn't think anyone else would feel it too but I was wrong." Anna admitted, "Why hasn't Damian felt it?"
"Remember we didn't meet him until we were like twelve. It'll probably start effecting him too."
"You don't think we're changing the past in a negative manner?"
"I hope not," Lian tapped on Anna's shoulder, "c'mon, time to help out."
Coulson entered a small, local coffee shop and walked towards the back of the shop. There was another man in his late thirties with an eyepatch covering his left eye, waiting with two cups of fresh, hot coffee. Coulson sat down opposite of the man and took a sip of the coffee, "So how are you faring, Director Fury?"
The man chuckled, "I've never been good at pretending that I'm dead."
"That makes both of us, but I need your help with something."
"Hydra?"
"Yes. We both know they infiltrated us, but we discovered something troubling."
"What could be worse than them invading SHIELD?"
"A small faction of Hydra traveled out of our universe and into another one. They're rebuilding!"
"Do you know where?" Fury asked with worry.
"No but we know who's leading that project: Baroness Lucifera."
Something clicked into Nick Fury's mind, "Was that Alisha, the woman who lost her child to aliens but wasn't she pregnant when that happened?"
"Yes, but the aliens couldn't perform an emergency C-section. So, after that incident she gave birth to a healthy baby boy which Hydra kidnapped and I rescued. However, Hydra was successful in getting her on their side."
Nick rubbed his goatee, "Phil, did our files get digitally transferred?"
"Yes."
"You don't think-"
"-that Hydra discovered which universe I dropped off the baby." Phil Coulson pushed his hair back.
"Do you still have those files?"
Coulson nodded, "Nick, I know that you're 'retired,' but I'm asking for your help one last time."
"It's our case, Phil, we have to finish it."
