I'm back, guys

I'm back, guys! Hooray! Sorry, but I had a really bad case of writer's block that I just couldn't seem to get rid of. : C I hope I have heard the last of it for a while.

Poll-PLEASE ANSWER!

Should I Re-write the first few chapters after I complete this, but without changing any of the plots, just making it a bit longer?

IMPORTANT! TITANS GO 53 COMES OUT TODAY!

Disclaimer: What do ya think?

Halfway across town...

Robin worked with the police to track all of the runaways down. Because he was Batman, only younger, he quickly rounded up most of them, and had time to spare. There were a few hanging around, but the police had told him that they were capable of tracking them down; it was just the meta-humans they were worried about. Robin agreed and made his way downtown to rendezvous with the rest of his team.

But first, he had to find Slade.

Raven voted to search for the criminally insane, also known as Dr. Light, Killer Moth, Johnny Rancid...in fact, when they had all split up, she realized that most of the villains they fought were in the category of criminally insane, and she was cheated out of looking for the easier people. She wasn't sure how that got by her so quickly, but then again, Cyborg and Beast Boy did rush away rather quickly.

Scowling to herself, she soared through the skies, in search of the criminally insane.

Beast Boy had most likely received the best deal. All he had to do was patrol the city and rescue anyone in need of rescuing at the moment. In fact, he didn't even have to fight anybody. His job was to save the civilians and call for back-up. It was a pretty genius plan, even if he did cheat everyone else. However, considering those were rare for him, he had to take the opportunity to bask in his glory before someone else stole it.

Smiling, he strolled down the street, humming something he had heard on the radio earlier that morning.

It was Cyborg who had realized that his baby was at home, alone. When he first thought about it, he assumed it would be okay, because it had the highest security available. Then he remembered that the only one who would dare mess with his car would be NF, and if she could blow up a jail, she could get into the Tower no problem.

He knew she wouldn't be there, but he had to check anyway. He didn't know why, it must have been some OCD thing. So he set foot into the Tower.

"MY BABY!"

Nightfire cringed at the sound of his voice. It echoed throughout the Tower, and she was sure that Superman would be able to hear it, wherever he was.

"Oh, hi Cyborg. How are you?" She asked nervously.

"What did you do to my baby?!" He yelled, outraged. Starfire ducked behind her, but Nightfire, remembering that she was only paid attention to when she did something wrong, wasn't affected at all.

"Oh, this? I'm remodeling it into a time machine. I looked all over your house for something else to use, but this was the most high-tech, so...yeah," She gave him a sheepish smile, and returned back to her work.

"A time machine?! You're turning my baby into a time machine?! WHY?!" he shouted, flailing his arms above his head. Nightfire rolled her eyes and turned around waving a wrench through the air as she spoke.

"Look, I don't really want to be here, and I know that you don't really want me here, either. I'm going home, but I can only do that if you'll shut up and leave me alone," She responded, going back to her work, completely ignoring Cyborg's protests. Although she was glad he hadn't thought of it yet, she had to admit she was quite surprised that he didn't physically try to stop her. If he did, she would be stuck here for the rest of her life, or at least until she was born. No being could exist twice in the same time at once. Even though her future was not pleasant, she missed everyone from it. Even her sister, and that was surprising enough in itself.

He ran through the city, searching every corner and every alleyway. Slade was not going to get away this time. He searched high and low, near and far, under and over, but there was no sign of the masked villain. Just as he was about to give up, he heard a strange sound coming from a nearby warehouse.

Slowly, the boy wonder crept around the corner, and entered through a small window. Silently, he dropped to the ground and looked around. It seemed ordinary enough, well, for abandoned warehouse that is, but something was up. He walked into the center of the building, and nearly tripped over something. Looking down, he saw a small basket covered with a blanket. Curiously, he looked inside.

At first, it seemed that it was just some water bottles and a pair of civilian clothing, but upon further investigation, he saw about five of his masks, and a picture of him, Starfire, and a small girl.

"So, I guess Raven was right about the whole girl on the street being NF, which explains why she has that particular pair of clothes here and my masks," Robin said to no one in particular, "But that doesn't explain this picture of us. Or who that girl is. She almost looks like...like..."

"Like NF?" Someone finished for him. Robin spun around, coming face-to-face with an old man carrying a cup of tea.

"Yeah, almost. But that couldn't be her, we couldn't possibly have met her when she was what, five, ten years ago and look older than we are now," Robin stated. The old man nodded.

"Yes, but who said that picture was taken in the past?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" Robin questioned.

"Who is to say that that particular young woman is of our time period? Who is to say that she is not from, say, twenty years in the future? Who is to say that she is not first in line for the throne on Tamaran, or first to inherit the Grayson/Wayne family fortune?" He asked.

"What are you saying?" Robin wondered aloud.

"Exactly what you hope I'm not. I know you've felt something familiar about her. She has told me about the creepy looks you give her, like you're analyzing her or something. You should not deny what you know to be true; she is of your blood, after all. She deserves some respect, villain or not," the man told him. Robin stepped back a few feet, and looked down at the picture in his hands. It all made sense now. She was using both his and Starfire's DNA to get into the Tower unnoticed.

"Who...who are you?" he asked.

"Would you like some tea?"

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

BTW, I completely didn't notice that I accidentally replaced the first chapter with the second one! So, when I went to fix it, I went and fixed everything, bringing this story up 8 thousand words! Go check out the new chapters, will ya?
