Flashback Chapter Two: Forewarnings
--
Space, cold and empty – a vast void of nothingness spanning billions of light years from solar system to solar system creating a timeless backdrop of stars, and almost as old as space itself was a legendary race known only as the Echrid. They had existed for countless eons in the universe seeing themselves as the custodians of space, keeping the population of other inferior species, but everywhere the Echrid went the planets and populations met with the same fate…total annihilation.
The last world the Echrid had conquered had lasted through many generations of drones and soldiers, but as every planet, it eventually ran out of resources to consume and the Echrid mother ship had gathered its children and left the once rich planet a dry cracked husk of dirt floating in space.
But now, the hive mind that controlled the entirety of the Echrid race had found a new planet through its deep space scans, its solar system that had many resource rich planets, mainly the controlling mind of the Echrid had discovered that a planets hot magma that was needed to fuel the mother ship was abundant in this system, but mostly so on the third planet from the system's sun.
Now, just past the planet Pluto space itself began to distort almost as if there was a cloud of heat and atmosphere there, then suddenly the head lit up into a bright green portal that exploded on all sides and when the light dimmed, a massive ship was sitting there in space.
The ship itself resembled a massive golf tee whose large end was convex instead of concave, with four curved spikes on its edge that ran from the larger front of the ship about a quarter of the way down its hull. The mind of the Echrid knew it could not jump any farther into the solar system than this because it would risk colliding with the asteroid belt or a planet, but distance did not matter.
Firing its conventional thrusters the mind of the Echrid knew that it would still reach earth in about three of the planets months time, its first scouts had provided the mind with much information but there was still much it was lacking in knowledge about the race that lived on the surface.
On smooth front of the massive ship a small port opened up from what seemed like the skin of the ship itself and small, dart-like ship flew out of the opening like a missile headed for the third planet from the sun, the scout ship would arrive in a matter of days and the scouts on board would then activate to explore the planet further.
It will not be long before we can feed once more my children, and our hive will become even stronger. The controlling hive mind said to its minions as the mother ship slowly flew through space towards Earth.

Beast Boy tossed and turned in his bed as his mind floated through a dreamless sleep; no matter what he did he just couldn't get comfortable or calm his mind down. Were it later in the day he would have just rotted a few brain cells away by playing a game with Cyborg for a few hours but it was still only nine thirty in the morning and he didn't want to get up quite yet. Sighing, Beast Boy opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling from the top of his bunk bed, the room was dark but he could tell it was day time now from the thin beams of light that were sneaking around the heavy curtains then across the room. For some reason he could not seem to shake that odd familiarity about that boy they had found.
It wasn't like he thought he might be related to him or anything but there was defiantly something familiar about the child, almost as if Beast Boy had met him before in another life or time. Wow that's some pretty deep thinking there BB. He thought, and maybe if the moon were made of cheese there wouldn't be a shortage of tofu in china. He added – it wasn't like Beast Boy wasn't capable of deep thinking by any means, in fact he was a lot deeper of a thinker than most of his team thought was capable he just knew that there wasn't any way that this boy should seem familiar to him and yet here he was.
Sitting up he finally resigned to the fact that he wasn't going to get any more sleep today and hopped off of his bunk bed, then walked over to the window and drew the curtains back filling the messy room with the glorious morning light. His room was a mess by any standards but he liked it that way, where others saw chaos the more animal side of the changing was comforted by having his possessions strewn about the room. It gave it the feel of a den or lair rather than a room suspended in the air in a building, and that was good enough for him.
Crossing his room he left the mess as it was and walked out into the hallway only to be instantly greeted by the smell of Cyborg cooking dead animals for breakfast. While he would never eat meat again himself he still tried to respect the fact that most the world was not vegetarian even though he still had to give his best friend a hard time about it. Beast Boy stood in the hall a moment before deciding he would rather go check on the boy they had found instead of trying to talk Cyborg into making tofu pancakes.
Taking the elevator to the next floor down Beast Boy walked down the hallway to the open medical bay doors, waltzed on through and there he was, the cause of why Beast Boy couldn't sleep. The changeling looked the boy on the table over, his hair was almost the same color as Beast Boy's own, just a little lighter but his skin was a pale gray color instead of the dark green Beast Boy proudly wore. He wondered for a moment if that's what he might look like if he were a little more normal but threw that thought away, nothing was going to change the way Beast Boy looked he knew that and refused to let his thoughts dwell in that place.
Looking at the boy however brought back those feelings of familiarity and that was something Beast Boy was hoping to figure out. Looking the boy over again he knew he had never seen him before anywhere, he didn't even know the poor boy's name. So why did he feel like he should? Was he missing something? No certainly not, or something.
Beast Boy's thoughts began to scatter as his tummy rumbled telling him that if he did not feed himself his brain would shut down more than it already had.
"What are you doing here?" A Voice said behind him making him screech and jump a few paces away.
"Raven! How long have you been standing there?" Beast Boy said with one hand over his poor heart and a quite shocked look on his face, which earned a smirk from Raven.
"I've been standing here the whole time." She said, "You just didn't see me when you walked in."
"Right…" Beast Boy said, he was always a little weirded out at the fact that his animal senses and instincts could not pick up Raven when she phased in and out of rooms, but at the same time he thought it was cool.
"Wait a second if you were here already what are you doing here?" Beast Boy said in a triumphant bit of deductive reasoning.
"I'm guarding the boy." She lied quickly, she had been standing there when the changeling had walked in and he honestly didn't see her but she didn't want him to know why she had come to see the unconscious child. He would probably just make fun of the fact that she was struggling to figure out why she felt so tied to this boy she didn't even know and when Beast Boy had come in, she felt some similar confusion from him but didn't say anything.
"Right, guarding the boy in the most secure building in jump city." Beast Boy saw through her lie easily, "wow did I sound like Cyborg just then?" he asked himself out loud.
Raven gawked for a moment while Beast Boy had a small conversation with himself about sounding too much like his friends. Had he just looked right through her lie like there were neon signs around her flashing 'liar'? Gathering herself Raven resumed her emotionless posture just before the changeling turned back to her.
"So what are you doing here?" He asked.
Raven thought for a moment, could she trust him with the real reason why she came here? He, after all was the most mischievous and immature of the group and when trusted with sensitive information. However to counter the argument in her head Happy, Wisdom and Knowledge all helped in reminding her that he was also the only one on the Team that treated her like a real person, always trying to get her involved in what was going on, even if it was a game of stank ball – the last of which she had won hands down when she pummeled both Beast Boy and Cyborg with a magically propelled ball of socks – maybe Beast Boy deserved a chance to prove he could be trustworthy with her.
"I don't know why I'm here." She said finally, he might deserve a chance to prove himself to her but now was not the time, "So are you going to answer my question?"
"Why should I? You didn't answer mine." Beast Boy folded his arms indignantly.
"Yes I did, I said I don't know why I'm here." Raven protested, it was a good answer wasn't it?
"Well maybe I don't know why I'm here." Beast Boy countered and looked away like he was insulted.
"Fine!" She said wanting to avoid arguing with him right now, "You tell me then I might tell you why I'm here okay?"
"Fine!" Beast Boy spat back then turned and glanced at the boy again the chance for to actually get the hear about Raven was too good to pass up, " I'm here because ever since we found this kid I've been feeling some sort of weird…something. I don't know I just feel like I should know who this kid is but I've never seen him before in my life ya know?" Beast Boy should his head and turned back to Raven, "I guess I thought I could learn something by coming here but I don't know anymore."
Raven stared passively at her friend, she had expected to get a simple 'I came to check on the kid' but instead had beast boy pouring out what he was feeling to her – Not that she didn't sense it already she just wasn't able to sort out exactly what he may be going through from the jumbled emotions that were coming out of him.
Though now her plan had backfired horribly on her and she had to tell him why she had come here as well instead of just using whatever his excuse she thought he was going to use. However to add to this Raven also felt the some of the same things Beast Boy was feeling. She glanced at the boy on the table then back to Beast Boy.
"I came to see him for almost the same reason." She admitted, "I don't know what it is but there's something about this kid that is not right. Every time I look at him I feel like I should know who he is as well but I don't." She then glanced to the side, showing that she was nervous about exposing any of what she was feeling.
Beast Boy nodded and thought hard about what to say next, he didn't want to appear stupid but he didn't want her to feel like he was just trying to show her up with his 'smartness' either. It was very rare when Raven would actually open up to him and he was determined to make it count.
"So…what do you think it means?" He asked after he came up with nothing better to say.
"I think we should tell the others." She said immediately, "If they feel the same way we do then we know something bigger may be going on." Raven then turned and walked from the room with Beast Boy running after.
"What do you mean something bigger?" He asked as he caught up to her.
"I don't know." She said honestly and they both walked the rest of the way to the common room contemplating their own thoughts.
When the two entered the common room they were greeted by Cyborg who was playing a game on the massive television while Starfire cheered him on, Robin was nowhere to be found.
"Where's Robin?" Beast Boy asked before Raven could.
"He is on the phone with the mayor assuring him that the sound this morning was not anything dangerous." Starfire smiled.
"Ah..." Raven said and looked to Beast Boy, "We'll wait for him to be done with the mayor, everyone needs to hear this." She said quiet enough that only Beast Boy's sensitive ears would hear and he smiled and nodded before jumping over the couch to sit next to Cyborg and grabbed a controller.
"Ready to feel the pain tin man?" Beast Boy grinned showing his fang.
"Oh bring it grass stain!" Cyborg hollered and in no time at all, the two were enthralled in the racing game, mashing buttons and all.
Raven sat cross legged on the floor to the right of the couch and drew her hood tighter about her face. She was beginning to get nervous about revealing her feelings regarding the child but she didn't know why. Sure she hated that the others, especially Beast Boy would push and prod her so much to get her to open up, didn't they realize how dangerous it would be if Raven lost control of her emotions? Of course they don't, she reminded herself, but this was different.
The fact that both she and Beast Boy felt the same thing about this child they found in the middle of the industrial district was somewhat frightening to her as the fact that this boy was at least protected by demon magic if not able to use it meant that she might not be the only one who was a half breed. After all Trigon had tried to use her to destroy worlds wasn't it possible that he would try the same thing over again after she had escaped from his influence? That was what was scaring her most was the possibility that Trigon may be trying to come back to earth to not only kill her but her friends.
Raven stopped her thoughts there; she was beginning to fantasize so she switched into her logic gear. There was nothing on his boy that indicated he was in league with Trigon at all, in fact after she had deciphered some of the runes on the boy's armor she found that most of the runes were there to help the boy control something, most likely his own demon magic. But that meant that if the boy was a half demon it was possible her Trigon theory was right. Ugh where is Robin?! She thought angrily and glanced about the common room to find nothing but her three friends still playing the game, one watching.
Only after a few more minutes that seemed like hours to Raven passed did Robin finally show up, storming into the common room muttering things like 'not voting for him again' and 'pudgy useless sack of…' she didn't catch the last part of that one and was just happy that he was finally off the phone.
"Robin." Raven said as she stood up, taking full advantage of Starfire being distracted by the game Beast Boy and Cyborg were still playing, round 15 now.
"Hey Raven." the Boy Wonder said, "What's up?"
Raven had to marvel a moment at how under control he kept himself even though she could feel the waves of anger radiating off him.
"Beast Boy and I need to talk to you." She said looking over at Beast Boy who on hearing his name immediately lost the sixteenth round of racing making the match go to Cyborg but for the first time ever, didn't seem to care.
"That's right." He said as he hopped back over the couch and sat on the back end facing Raven and Robin who were near the table. Cyborg paused the game and both he and Starfire looked back to see what was going on.
Raven looked to Beast Boy who looked right back at her like he was waiting for her to say something but she would rather be burned to death while being gnawed on by piranhas before she would start this conversation and gave said look back to Beast Boy – who grinned and scratched the back of his head before turning back to Robin.
"We've both been feeling kind of weird since we found that kid in the bushes." He said, leave it to Beast Boy to take something innocent and make it sound bad unintentionally.
"What he means is." Raven interrupted quickly, "We both feel like we should know who this boy is, like there's something familiar about him and we just can't place what it is and were wondering if any of you have felt the same way." Both Raven and Beast Boy looked to each of the other team members but each shook their head, great they thought in unison.
"What do you mean you feel like you should know him?" Cyborg asked.
"I don't know exactly." Raven said, "The feeling is very vague I just know that's its there." She thought for a moment not wanting to reveal too much about herself but couldn't come up with anything so she left it at that she didn't want to tell them that she felt like that boy had something that was once a part of herself.
"Maybe I can explain it better." Beast Boy said and a thankful Raven gave him a nod, "With me when I look at that kid the animal side of me feels like, I dunno, like I know him, just something about him seems familiar I just don't know what."
Robin thought for a moment as he looked between his friends, Raven was showing almost no emotion as usual but the little he could read of her told him she was somewhat frightened of these feelings. While Beast Boy just looked generally confused about why the kid they found seemed familiar. Robin then thought of the kid's green hair and how it was only a tad lighter green than beast Boy's and also the kid's skin which was slightly paler than Raven's skin but almost the same color of gray.
Also how the kid was wearing armor that according to Cyborg could not only repair itself but the wearer as well, quite advanced. He then suddenly remembered seeing a device on the back of the kid's armor that looked like it was jury-rigged to be there and not really a part of the armor itself but couldn't remember what it looked like.
"The thing on his back!" Robin shouted and pointed at the ceiling, "That's the only clue I could come up with as to where this kid came from, I remember seeing that round thing on his back and it didn't look like it was part of the kid's armor originally."
"Yes I believe it looked like a Frisbee dish." Starfire added, "I defiantly remember that as well."
"That's Frisbee disk Starfire." Raven corrected her friend, "I have an analysis of the boy's armor on my laptop in my room, whatever that was it should have gotten scanned as well. I didn't take a look at it at the time because I was concentrating on the Runes."
"Don't worry about it Raven I'll take a look at them myself, I sent a copy of the scan to the computer in my room as well." Cyborg grinned, "Maybe someone should go check on the Kid again while I look at that." Cyborg then walked out of the common room towards his own room to check the aforementioned scans.
Robin volunteered to check on the kid which meant that Starfire would be checking on the kid as well – while the two Titans would never admit it both Robin and Starfire were very much in like with each other and essentially inseparable – this however left Beast Boy and Raven in the common room wondering what to do now. A few awkward minutes passed before Beast Boy finally spoke.
"So were the only ones feeling that about the kid." he said but this only seemed to irritate Raven.
"Which means It's nothing and we shouldn't have said anything about it to the others because now I just look like a fool." Raven said coldly before phasing through the floor to anywhere where she could be alone. Beast Boy blinked a moment after Raven disappeared before muttering something about crabby creepy dark girls and decided to take his own frustration out in a game on the game station.
Raven phased into her room and sighed in frustration before plopping down on her bed and staring at the ceiling. Why was everything in her life so complicated? Raven felt as if any time she opened up just a little bit to her friends she either felt stupid for doing so later or it was because some demon was trying to use her as a portal to come to earth and make it burn forever in hellfire.
That aside she couldn't figure out how she had shared how she was feeling with not just Beast Boy but the rest of the team, felt like a fool for doing so and still have this strange feeling of familiarity when she though of the kid.
She shouldn't be feeling that way at all and she knew that, no one knew who this kid was and she had certainly never dealt with him before. Nothing was making sense which was causing her frustration to move some random vases around the room; Raven closed her eyes and took a deep breath as the vases went back to the original positions, she then moved to a sitting position, crossed both her legs and began to meditate.

Meanwhile in the medical bay, Tyler was just beginning to stir when his eyes snapped open with a sharp intake of breath. Where was he? He didn't know, he remembered that his mother had activated the healing runes of life in his armor earlier but now he was greeted with an empty metal room. He realized than that there were small suction cups with wires attached to his head that lead to a screen where vital signs were scrolling away and yanked all four cups from his head at once.
The screens on the pole above the bed he was in at once went blank and each suddenly made a shrill 'beeeeeeep' sound that wouldn't stop, some of the lights next to the screens were even flashing red. Ty covered his ears from the noise, why wouldn't it stop?! He had to get it stop in case he was prisoner somewhere or something. Three runes on his right bracer lit up in response and he threw his violet power at the machines which sizzled a moment before dying completely, some smoke coming from inside somewhere – but at least it was quiet now.
"What was that?" he heard a male voice say, "Common, something isn't right." The same voice said and he head foot steps coming faster now from the opening to a hallway on his left. Instinctively Ty rolled off the bed landing on his feet and looked for a way to escape but before one could be found a Robin and Starfire that looked MUCH younger than the ones he knew ran and floated into the room. Had he made it to the past after all?
"What day is it?" Ty asked before either of the Titans could say anything.
"It is Tuesday." Starfire smiled.
"Arg…no, I mean what's the date, what year is it?!" Ty demanded, he had to know when he was not where.
Robin looked the boy over quickly, he was small, maybe even smaller than Beast Boy but that was because of his age he guessed, the boy's thick armor he now noticed was not only covered with runes but contoured over his body to let him move like the armor wasn't even there while offering good protection at the same time.
"Why is the date so important?" Robin then shot back.
"It just is! What year is it?!" Ty hollered, why couldn't someone just tell him the friggen year?
"It is the year two thousand and eight." Starfire said while holding a hand to Robin to silence him.
"What month?" Ty then asked.
"August." Robin answered this time, deciding it better to follow Starfire's tactic, after all what was wrong with telling someone the time.
A look of relief suddenly crossed the boy's face but was quickly replaced by one of determination as he looked away."
"Good." He said and looked back, "Then we still have time to prepare."
"Prepare for what?" Robin asked narrowing his eyes behind his mask.
"The end of the world." The boy smirked.
Robin blinked the end of the world? What? Really?
"Riiight…this kid's a joke." Robin said.
"Its not!" Ty shot back, "I know it's hard to believe but I'm from pretty far in the future and if we don't do something about what's coming where all dead." Tyler stared strait at Robin and the boy wonder back at him. He knew this could just as well be a lie but in this boy's eyes he saw that there just might be some truth to what he was saying, better the whole team hear it so Robin wouldn't have to explain anything later.
"I think you better come with us, I want my whole team to hear whatever it is you have to say, and don't try anything because Starfire here has got my back, and she's a lot stronger than you." Robin said and nodded to Starfire who would keep herself behind the boy to watch him, "Come." He commanded and walked out into the hallway with Ty following and Starfire close behind the boy. He then hit a button on the communicator on the wall and said, "I want all of you in the common room in three minutes, the kid is awake and has some things to explain apparently."
Tyler walked in between Robin and Starfire thinking quickly, he had not expected to be shoved in front of the whole of the Teen Titans and told to explain why everyone was doomed in less than four months. Than again he had not expected to even make it to the past. The Robin he knew was apparently right about himself being a somewhat of a prick but it wasn't as bad as he had imagined it was, Starfire was also different but only in looked her personality it seemed didn't change that much over the years.
Oh no! He suddenly realized that he was going to have to use that cover story his mom had made up to explain who he was, even worse he realized he was about to see his past mother and father who not only had not had him yet, but were not even together yet.
"So what is your name?" Starfire asked from behind him, jogging him from his thoughts as all three entered the elevator.
"Umm…Tyler, but everyone just calls me Ty." He said, that part was true but he couldn't remember the cover story that went behind it, what was he going to do?! Ugh why didn't anyone tell him time travel was this complicated.
"That's a wonderful name!" Starfire said, "You can call me Starfire, I would tell you my real name but I have been told it is difficult to pronounce." She pouted.
Ty had been told her name once in his time, and agreed silently that it was impossible to pronounce. He hoped that she would talk more but a swift glance back from Robin and Starfire stopped talking to him – five silent minutes later Ty found himself standing in front of the Teen Titans minus Cyborg. Robin asked where he was and Raven said he may be in his room but left out what he was doing. Ty sat cross legged with his back against the couch and three older teens glancing at him, desperately wishing he could remember his cover story.
He kept his eyes focused on the floor in front of him as he wanted to avoid looking at his mother and – correction future mother and father. He could feel their eyes on him though and through his own limited empathic abilities was able to feel the confusion Beast Boy and Raven were broadcasting, the former much easier than the latter. His powers of the mind were never as good as his mothers and instead of being able to read emotions he could just feel what others were feeling much greater than a normal person.
"Robin! Sorry I'm late but that thing on the kid's back is a time ma-" Cyborg stopped speaking as he ran in the room and saw the boy sitting in front of him with his back against the back of the u shaped couch. Well at least they know I'm a time traveler. He thought.
"Alright kid, lets start with this for everyone, What is your name?" Robin said as he crossed his arms and stared Ty down.
"Tyler, but everyone calls me Ty." He said, the only thing he wanted to hide right now was his heritage.
"How old are you?" Starfire interrupted Robin as he was about to speak.
"Twelve." He responded and looked up but still avoided eye contact with his future parents.
"Where do you come from?" Robin asked.
"A bunker in a hill." Ty said; it was true.
"Don't be smart with me!" Robin protested.
"But I'm telling the truth! You shouldn't ask where I come from anyway when I come from is more important." Ty crossed his arms in front of his chest and he and Robin had another staring contest. The other Titans considered what he said for a moment before Cyborg finally spoke.
"That thing on your back is a Time Machine isn't it?" He said and Ty actually grinned and nodded, "So when do you come from?"
"The year Two Thousand and Twenty One." Ty watched the others expressions after he said that, each showed some measure of disbelief
"Dude, that's incredible! Are there like, flying cars and stuff?" Beast Boy said but didn't get an answer as Raven asked, "How are we supposed to believe you?" before Ty could respond.
"I don't have anything other than what I can tell you, and I can tell you that in a few months the world is going to end unless we find somewhat to stop the Echrid." Ty said as he stood up.
"Who are you really?" Raven pressed.
Wow his mom really was prying, and he couldn't think of an answer that would make sense. He thought quickly and the best he could come up with was "I'm just one of the last fighters that were left in the world and I came back hoping to change that."
"So tell us then Ty, what is going to end the world in three months?" Robin asked, still skeptical this boy was telling the truth.
"They are called the Echrid; it's a race of insect-like aliens whose only purpose is the destruction of worlds. They are like locusts, going from planet to planet decimating or annihilating the population while consuming every resource available to keep their mother ship alive. If you don't believe me, go to the space center tonight and look out to where Pluto is…the mother ship should be there soon." Ty said grimly.
"Dude, so in the future these aliens took over the world?" Beast Boy said, feeling a little at awe that anything could have that kind of destructive power.
"Destroyed is a better word, not even nuclear weapons could stop them." Ty sighed and sat on the back of the couch looking at the ground, he was beginning to realize that maybe he needed more time to find a way to destroy the Echrid's mother ship. Many different things had been tried in his time, the least successful of which being nuclear weapons as that only made the beasts irradiated and angry. He sighed now not really having anything else to say.
Raven stared at the child, she could feel the waves of despair radiating off of him and the emotions were so strong it was starting to give her just the twinge of a headache. She could tell that he was telling the truth and wondered how long it would be before Robin believed him as well. Beast Boy on the other hand bought into the kids story immediately but that was because he was an inherently trusting person – of which Raven thought was one of his better qualities.
"So how do we stop them then, if they are out there?" Cyborg asked.
"I don't know." Ty admitted, "I need help figuring out how to stop them, will you guys help me?"
Robin looked at the rest of his team, each of whom shrugged with the exception of Starfire who nodded that she wanted to help.
"We'll check the sky tonight from the observatory, if what you say is there is there, we will help you figure out how to stop it." Robin said finally, evoking a relived sigh from Ty.
So now all that was left was to wait for nightfall and hope that the end of the world wasn't on its why like Ty said it was, Beast Boy for one didn't really like the thought of having to fight to save the world again, each time they had been forced into a situation like that it had been very difficult. But mostly, he didn't want his friends, especially Raven to get hurt. Whoa where had that thought come from? Down Beast Boy…bad! No tofu treats.
That being said he did think Raven was attractive in a dark kind of way, he loved the way her hair fell around her face and- ARG no more! Beast Boy shook his head to get rid of those thoughts for now and opened his eyes again to see everyone staring at him.
"Eh-heh…itchy?" He said lamely wishing he could have thought of something better.
"Right…anyway we will check the observatory tonight feel free to make yourself at home, Cyborg will show you to the guest room." Robin said and walked off towards his own room and his detective equipment, Starfire then said she would see if Robin go with her to the park and ran off after him.
Ty followed Cyborg out of the room as the mechanical man was asking him all kinds of questions about time travel leaving Beast Boy and Raven alone in the same room for the second time today. Beast Boy stood there for a moment trying to decide if he should talk to Raven or not but amazingly she beat him to the punch.
"Do you still feel like you should know this, Ty kid?" She asked as she peered at him from under her hood.
"Yeah." The changeling nodded, "how about you?"
Raven nodded as well, "I don't like it. Something isn't right about this kid there has to be something he isn't telling us it's just a question of what."
"I dunno." Beast Boy admitted, "He's from the future after all there's probably just some things that he has seen and knows that he cant tell us because it would mess up the time-line too bad."
Raven blinked, "since when do you know anything about time travel?"
"Dude! You read books all the time don't you know what science fiction is?" Beast Boy gawked, how could she not have read a science fiction book?
"Since when do you read?" She countered.
"Movies, you should watch them more." Beast Boy laughed that she didn't know he would know about time travel from movies, it actually made him feel smart.
Raven on the other hand was just staring at Beast Boy with a look of confusion as the changeling may actually know more about time travel than herself. Was this even possible, after all she was more schooled in dimensional travel than he was but here she was, watching him make points that made more sense than her own. She sighed, then said, "Fine maybe I'll watch more movies with you if you actually come up with a movie that is intelligent and interesting, but not today." She said and walked back to her room leaving Beast Boy standing in the common room with a triumphant grin on his face.
Raven had said she would watch a movie with him if he could fine one intelligent and interesting, which really meant if he could find a movie that was interesting to her she would watch it with hi.
