Where we left: Suddenly, what was once an empty space in the doorframe became a space full of different colors that seemed to be twirling around slowly.

"What's that?" Asked Raven staring at the colors like the rest of her team, expecting to see some kind of reaction.

"I don't know but-" Suddenly they were all blinded by a white light and a strong force sent them flying backwards, falling hard on the floor. The last thing they saw before losing consciousness was the white light disappearing.

Now with the story…

The present is only the past of the future

Chapter 1:

When times clash everybody runs in a dash

"Is everybody ok?" Asked two voices aloud at the same time as all the people came back to their senses; it was all a blur and their bodies hurt as if they had been hit with some kind of giant mallet. Affirmative answers were heard as the Titans came back to the present rubbing wherever they felt sore from the impact.

"What happened?" Asked Beast Boy aloud while sitting on the floor, hoping there was some kind of explanation for the light and the force that pushed them away.

"I have no idea." Came the reply from… A voice that sounded strangely like Beast Boy's but slightly different…

"Who said…" Beast Boy turned to his right and came face to face with… himself? "AAAHHHHAAAA!"

"What's wrong Beast Boy?" The aforementioned boy's team leader asked as the rest stood up startled by the scream.

"It's my evil clone who has come to conquer the world!" Beast Boy and his "evil clone" yelled at the same time pointing towards each other and crawling backwards.

"Identify yourselves!" Robin yelled standing in a fighting stance, his whole team stood by his side ready to fight if necessary "And now!"

The group of teenagers before the Titans stayed still not really knowing what to do; the people they were staring at were… Well... It was just too weird…

"Didn't you hear me?" Robin asked frowning "Identify yourselves."

"But, don't you recognize us?" The youngest girl asked curiously; she seemed to be around six years old or so and she was pretty cute with her dark skin, black hair, big gray eyes and a small mouth. She was wearing a light blue skirt and sweater which had yellow on the borders, blue socks and yellow shoes; the sweater also had a yellow "K" in the middle. But what caught their attention was the fact that this little girl had bug-like-wings sprouting from her back "Don't you recognize us dad?"

"Dad?!" Cyborg yelled in shock, did that little girl just call him dad? But that wasn't possible; she was way too old to be his child and he was still a virgin even if he wouldn't admit it out loud. "What do you mean "Dad"?"

"Hold on everyone!" One of the oldest teenagers yelled before taking hold of his cloak which magically grew enough to cover his whole gang and disappearing in a blink of an eye.

"What?" The Titans were speechless after seeing that; not only did the teens look weird, but they also had powers.

"What just happened?" Asked Terra to no-one in particular.

"I believe we have found Cyborg's family." Starfire answered shocked.

"Dude, can you even have a family of your own?" BB asked while Robin scanned the Tower with his communicator in search of the fugitives just to make sure they weren't in the Tower anymore.

"Do I go to the bathroom like you do?" The mechanic Titan answered with his own question, the green teen thought about it for 2 seconds before opening his mouth again.

"I wouldn't know; I've never seen what you do in the bathroom."

"They're on the roof!" Robin yelled suddenly "Titans move!"

The present is only the past of the future

: On the roof:

A black shadow appeared on the roof near the edge, fortunately, it was still a safe place so the shadow disappeared leaving in its place a pack of teens that looked rather nervous with what had just happened.

"What the hell is happening?" A boy asked aloud "Why did our parents look younger; they looked to be just a little older than us now!"

"Listen up," The leader of the team, the one who had teleported them, started "This might sound weird but, when we were in the garage a moment ago, I saw a calendar on the wall and it said we were in the year 2008!"

"2008!" They all yelled shocked, a girl continued alone "How could uncle Cyborg's machine possibly take us 20 years into the past?"

"I don't know, but it did and that's why our parents looked younger and also why they didn't recognize us." The leader replied.

"Now Karla's words will make them wonder." A boy spoke up, he was young but had lots of knowledge that some considered as wisdom "We have to find a way of going back to our time without changing the future: Our presence here could make a lot of difference to the future and I don't really know what consequences this will have. I propose we steal uncle Cyborg's machine and find a way to make it work backwards so we can travel 20 years back."

"Isn't it forwards?" Beast Boy's "evil clone" said "I mean we are going back to the future which means we are going not back but forwards… I think I hurt my brain."

"It doesn't take much to do that." A glare was the retort the leader received but he paid no mind to it "But I have to agree with Will this time; the plan is take the machine and get away from here as fast as we can without having more encounters with the old Titans. They can't know who we are."

"Oh, but we're just dying to get to know you better." The pack looked up to find the six members of the 'old Titans' just a few feet away from them, Robin continued "Can't you give us that pleasure?"

"How did you- Never mind that." A girl said "But no, actually we can't."

"We'll just have to force you then." Cyborg said pointing his sonic cannon to the tallest boy who wasn't moving an inch.

"We have to get out of here." The boy called Will said taking a step backwards, the tallest boy shook his head.

"Don't worry;" He started "We're more, we'll get through this if we just stick together as a-"

He was cut short, however, when Beast Boy morphed into a raptor making his teammates scream and dash through the door of the roof disappearing in a second.

"-Team…" Only he and the team's leader were still standing there but that wasn't good "Take us to another floor now."

The other boy morphed into a shadow and pulled his friend towards him before disappearing trough the roof, but they weren't going to escape this time; Raven morphed also into her soul-self and followed them without hesitation.

"Not so fast!" Was all the Titans heard before their gothic friend disappeared, Robin didn't hesitate to follow her.

"Titans, go!" The five remaining Titans ran through the door in search of the intruders "Split up!"

Cyborg started to search the floor they were on while the rest ran down the stairs to lower floors and tried to cover as much territory as they could. The mechanic Titan kept his sonic canon ready in case he had to defend himself from the intruders; he opened door by door making sure no-one was hidden in any room. He thought he wouldn't be having problems on that floor until he heard footsteps from the other side of the hall; he turned around to find a boy who also looked back at him before he started running away, Cyborg on his heels.

"Titans, I've got one!" Cyborg yelled on his communicator while still following the teen "He seems to be 15 or 16 years old; blond hair that reaches his upper back, white skin, green eyes; dressed in black jeans, tennis shoes and a hoodie with a long sleeved red shirt underneath."

"Got it!" Robin yelled over the communicator "I've got three more: One looks just like Beast Boy but he must be like twelve and his uniform has dark blue where it should be purple and I'm not sure but I think he has blue eyes, the other boy looks around 16 or so with dark skin and eyes and is wearing a white cap on his head, long sleeved light blue shirt over a white long-sleeved one, blue jeans and white tennis-shoes. He's carrying the smallest girl in his arms."

"I am in the pursuit of two more boys." Starfire informed as soon as Robin finished "Both are able to fly; the youngest should be around his first decade old and has red short hair; he's wearing a mask like Robin and is wearing a red uniform like Speedy's. The other boy looks a lot like a Tamaranian and even has the same green eyes I do and is clad in the same clothes my people wear; he has a one-piece clothing that goes from his neck to his feet; he must be a decade and a half."

"I have another two in my sight." Beast Boy said this time "One is a girl of about twelve I'd say who is also green like me but has long hair and a uniform like Elasti-girl's but with yellow instead of purple and the other must be a couple of years older than her or just very tall; he has red hair and is wearing a black and red bodysuit and he has also a cat-like-eye on his chest. Oh, and he's wearing a bat-like mask but I can't see the eyes of any of them."

"I'm after three who can also fly." Raven commented through her own communicator "The oldest must be a little younger than me and he has pale skin and black hair that reaches the nape of his neck, he's wearing a black body suit covered by a blue cloak like mine and he's also wearing shades… I think he also has a belt on; the other boy has black spiky hair and white skin, he has to be around 5 years younger than me and is wearing a black and red uniform and a black cape; he's wearing a mask too. The girl has to be a little younger than the latter but this one has long purple hair and is wearing a white leotard; I bet she's also wearing a belt."

"I'm after two girls; one has auburn long hair tied up in a ponytail and her pink uniform reminds me somewhat of Speedy's with a skirt over her pants, her eyes are light brown or something like that and she has to be 13 or so years old." Terra said quickly "The other should be around the same age and she has pink hair pulled up in two pony tails, pale skin and blue eyes and she's wearing a purple and yellow dress that reaches to her mid-thigh, long gloves and socks that combine and purple boots that reach her mid-calf… I think she has a collar around her neck."

Terra then saw the girls entering a room and hung up her communicator ready to jump on the kids if necessary, she ran into the room just before the door closed itself only to fall hard on her stomach getting a lot of artifacts on top of her: She had run into a store room. As she stood up she saw the girls getting out of the room but this time there was another one with them. Terra got her communicator out and ran after them, very sore from the hits she had received in the store room.

"Titans, I've found another girl!" She exclaimed "She has black hair that goes to her upper back, lightly tanned skin and she's wearing a uniform like Aqualad's but light blue and lilac instead of the usual colors and she also has a lilac skirt over the pants. She can't be older than the other two but I can't be sure and I couldn't take a good look at her eyes either."

"Man, 14 intruders!" Cyborg exclaimed "I never thought it would happen!"

"Try to get them all into the main room: They won't escape there." Robin instructed as he neared the end of the hall, the main room was just a floor bellow him so he only needed to make them run down the stairs and he would have them. He swiftly took a bird-a-rang from his belt and threw it towards the two running boys who screamed surprised. Unfortunately, things didn't go out as planned and the only thing Robin accomplished was to make them run in separate ways: One down stairs and the other up stairs "Dammit!"

The present is only the past of the future

: In another floor:

"Why did you run away, Will?" The leader of the new team, the blue cloaked boy Raven was chasing, asked to the younger boy by his side "You should have stayed with us and stand your ground."

"What if they had attacked?" Asked Will as he and his two companions turned around the corner to descend yet another floor; they would be in the lobby soon at this rate "I had to protect Emily."

"They weren't going to hurt us; they were only trying to scare us." The girl known as Emily said, annoyed. "As if you don't know them already; I wanted to stay with Derek too but you just had to drag me along instead."

"As if I would allow you to stay with him," Will said, receiving a glare from Derek.

"I'm tired of your distrust; I'm her brother too." As soon as these words left his lips a big black claw emerged from the ground blocking their path; the kids tried to go around it but the claw quickly closed itself on them not allowing them to do so.

"I've got you now." Raven said nearing them not losing her grip.

"That's what you think!" From within the claw two shadows emerged continuing their way downstairs and leaving Raven astonished for a moment.

"What the- Oh, shit!"

The present is only the past of the future

: In another hallway:

"I don't remember her being so fast!" The masked boy Starfire was after yelled over to the boy beside him.

"That's because in the future she's older, you butt-head." The older boy replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world receiving a hard through-mask-glare as a reply.

"You can't stop bothering me even in this situation, can you Alex?"

"So what, Otto?" Alex challenged with his own glare. "Now aren't you going to run to Derek and tell him I was rude?"

"I would, but I can't do it now dumbass! I can't believe you're my brother." Otto yelled as he and his big brother neared the end of the hall.

"Please, I am asking you nicely to stop this moment." The boys heard Starfire say from behind "I do not wish to hurt you!"

"Otto, when we reach the end of the hall we need to split up." Alex instructed receiving a nod from Otto "Ready… 1…2…3!"

Both boys took a staircase… The same staircase…

"I said split up you jelly-for-brains!" Starfire heard one of the boys yelling before the youngest male appeared right before her, the boy looked scared at her so she slowed down and decided to try a different approach.

"Please, I do not mean to harm you but I need you to proceed with me to the main room in order of making sure you are not some kind of-" The masked kid didn't allow her to say more; he just took off flying as fast as he could past her and towards the other end of the hallway surprising the alien girl with his speed "…Oh… He has plenty of energy…"

The present is only the past of the future

: On the roof:

"I ran three floors down only to come back to the roof?" Asked a blonde boy aloud after he had somehow managed to lose Cyborg at some point in their chase "He is really fast, I just managed to get away thanks to my agility… I wonder how the others are doing. I hope they haven't been caught yet."

"Trevor!" Trevor turned to look at the roof's door in time to see a green kid running towards him looking very frightened "Bro, help me!"

"Terry, what happened?" Instead of receiving an answer form the boy, Trevor saw Cyborg running out from the Tower and looking as though he would jump on them the moment he had the chance "Oh…that happened."

"I've got you now, you won't escape this time!" The mechanic Titan yelled, nearing them dangerously. "Try to get past me."

"No problem!" Both boys yelled in unison and then ran towards Cyborg at the same time, just when Cyborg was going to trap them in his arms, the oldest intruder put his hands in position and mini-BB jumped on them, gaining height and distracting Cyborg enough for Trevor to go in-between his legs and reach the other side at the same time the green kid landed from his jump right beside him.

"You won't escape this time!" Cyborg tried to run after the intruders but, by the time he reached the door, it was already closed and… Locked from the inside!?!?! "Aw, come on!"

The present is only the past of the future

: Some stories down:

"Tori, we have to find the others and get out of here with or without the machine." Whispered a pink-eyed redhead to a green girl while they hid under a bed in one of the guests rooms of the Tower.

"I know James, but how will we be able to do that without using our powers?" Tori asked James looking at him with her blue eyes even in the dim light there was in that space "Why would Derek tell us not to use our powers? He used his."

"But the Titans saw his powers the moment he teleported us to the roof so it wouldn't matter if he used them again and the Titans can't see us using our powers except for flying which is a pretty common power as is super-strength but we have none; they'll get even more suspicious." James answered with a shrug "But I do hate it when he get's in our minds, it's worse than Jenn when she wants to make me look like a fool."

"Hey, you should do to her what I do to Terry: Act like real siblings and try to make things together." Tori proposed "I mean, sure, Trevor isn't the most overjoyed boy in the world but even with him I can do some 'Sibling stuff' every once in a while."

"Yeah, I know." Suddenly, a noise was heard from outside the room's door, a noise that resembled to that of a growl "Be quiet now."

The door opened and a bloodhound appeared sniffing the ground searching for a pair of teenagers who had entered his house without permission. He went towards the bed, getting closer… and closer… and closer….

"Run!" Both intruders got out from under the bed and ran towards the door avoiding the bloodhound in their way "Don't turn back!"

"Taxi service!" Tori and James ignored their own command and turned around in time to see Alex flying towards them with his arms extended ready to carry his friends away from there "Hold on guys!"

Tori got ready and jumped on Alex's back as if he were a running horse while Alex took James by his armpits without losing speed. Beast Boy saw all of this and it astonished him for a couple of seconds before he recovered from the shock and morphed into a falcon in order to follow the kids.

The present is only the past of the future

: Somewhere near:

"Girls, how can we get away from her?" Asked a black haired girl turning back just for a second to see if they were still being followed; they were.

"I don't know Viv, and the problem is that I'm getting tired of running but she seems to still have a lot of energy." Answered the red-haired one knowing full well the blond chasing them may not be very fast but had a lot of resistance.

"C'mon now Deah, you have to resist." Deah replied to the statement with a glare "What?"

"You know I wasn't trained for this Jenn; you're lucky for having the powers you have. What would I give to have them…Or even have the ability of flying like my brothers; I can't believe even Otto can fly and I can't."

"You have your own powers and they're great so don't start with that." Jenn retorted with a frown before noticing they were nearing the other end of the hallway "Girls, do we go up or down?"

"Up." Answered Viv and Deah together and so they got ready to turn and go upstairs the moment they reached the end of the hall, then, as fast as they could; they turned to their left and crashed into a little redhead who sent them all rolling back downstairs.

"Otto!" Deah yelled surprised "What are you-?"

"No time to explain, come on!" Otto yelled yanking Deah by her hand and dragging her downstairs with Viv and Jenn on their heels "If we don't find a way outta here we'll be caught in no time."

"Is that aunt Starfire after us?" Asked Viv loud enough for her friends to hear while the 'elders' were still some distance behind them, they had to continue running to the end of the hall and try to maintain that distance but she wasn't sure if they would be able to do it since one of their followers could fly and reach them any moment now; Viv narrowed her blue eyes at this "Great, now we have two people after us."

"Blame Alex;" The masked boy replied "He pushed me away from him and closer to her leaving her to decide whom she wanted to follow; guess what was her choice."

"I oughta teach Alex a lesson." Deah exhaled "He never learns."

"Stop complaining!" Jenn yelled stopping them from saying anything else "Listen, now that aunt Starfire is after us we can't go upstairs because she would get us almost instantly but the problem is that the floor below this one is the one of the main room and, if I remember correctly, that's the place we're supposed to get caught at so it'll be dangerous for us if we go down as well."

"But we can continue downstairs and past the main room's door instead of rounding the corner and running down the hall; that way they won't be able to trap us." Viv proposed; now, that sounded like a good idea "OK everyone, ready; don't lose your speed and keep going!"

The four kids maintained their speed as they got ready to follow the plan perfectly. They rounded the corner and ran downstairs; then they came to the hall perpendicular to the main room and continued on their way so they could get past the door. Right when they were in front of the door, they felt someone crashing into them from the side; letting the main room's door open and falling through it: Into the place they were trying to avoid.

"Cyborg, Beast Boy!" Starfire yelled the moment she saw her friends appearing in front of them "You captured the intruders!"

"Lucky shot Star, really." Cyborg said taking in a deep breath; he was so tired of chasing those teens.

"Great work team!" Robin said from the back of the couch; he had been leaning there watching over the dark-skinned intruders since he had managed to capture them some minutes ago "Now there are only three intruders to go."

"Maybe we could help Raven." Terra proposed after taking a few deep breaths "Where is she?"

As if on cue, three shadows flew past them from the floor to the ceiling in one second; surprising all the people in the main room with their speed; the shadows then flew from the ceiling to the floor and through it before returning to the main room when they started to dance about.

"Let me rephrase that;" Terra started trying to follow the shadows with her gaze "Maybe we should let Raven do it on her own."

"Agreed." Her teammates and the intruders said, also trying to follow the shadows with their gaze.

"I'm sick of this!" Raven's voice was heard from within one of the shadows, it sounded angry and exasperated; bad sign. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

An amazingly strong energy wave shook the whole tower, making the Titans cover their heads and kneel on the floor in hope of staying on their spot and in one piece. Of course, it also affected the flying shadows; making the boys lose their concentration and falling onto the floor with their sister by their side. Raven then calmed down and the wave dissipated almost instantly, letting everyone get back to their feet and their senses.

"Yeah, there's no doubt." The leader of the new team said while rubbing his head "Same old her."

"If you try to escape again;" Raven started not hearing the former comment "I'll take more drastic measures than just breaking your concentration, got it?"

"Yes Ma'am." Everyone in the room, even the old Titans, said at once… Well, all except a certain spiky-haired kid who just shrugged and stood up without further ado.

"Good work Raven." Robin said approaching his teammates and the intruders, still trying to make his head stop pulsing. "Now we have them all together."

"Now listen up kids!" Beast Boy said suddenly, trying to look very serious "I want answers and I want them now: Who created you? How many clones are there besides you? Why are you younger than us? How do you plan to take over the Universe? And finally… How does it feel like to be created in a tube?"

"Beast Boy!" The old Titans yelled making the green teen shut up…almost.

"I've always wanted to know what it feels like." The shape-shifter tried, lamely, to excuse himself.

"Pay no mind to that." Robin said directing his attention back to the 14 intruders in front of him "We want to know who are you, how did you get here and what do you want?"

The questioned team looked among themselves trying to find an explanation that could sound logical enough without actually revealing anything important; after a few seconds, all the eyes set on the leader, Derek.

"Me?!"

The present is only the past of the future

I think some of you may need to re-read this to get which kid is which but I hope you don't get too lost; anyway, next chapter all the kids will introduce themselves so you don't have to worry much about it. Still I want to know what you think about this chapter.

Now guys, I have some news and propositions for you: I know you're always tired of waiting around for new updates so I'll give you homework. I just opened a blog for my productions (Fics and Videos), where I'll add updates on my work and it has links to Photobucket albums about my fics, however, I can't give a lot of pictures 'cause I suck at drawing (As you will see on the already existent drawings in the Wilson High Album.) So, you'll give me the pics for the albums of each and every fic I have uploaded.

And no, this won't be for free: If you actually send me a drawing (any drawing), I'll add the link to it in my profile until a new update. AND, if your drawing is original, awesome or wakes something within me, I'll add your very own character in one episode of the fic the pic is about. Yeah! It's true! I'll send you a message telling you to send me your character description and what would you like them to do in my story and (more or less) how would you like the scene to be; the character will have a little participation as long as it doesn't really affect the story. In the Author's Note at the end of the Chapter, I'll give the credit of the character to the original owner. The character can appear in more than one episode, but it can only be done with a special drawing (1 drawing= 1 chapter), ok?

You can find the link to the blog on my profile.

That's it for now, don't forget to review and I hope I can get many drawings!

Next Chapter: The kids introduce themselves and explain the Titans what actually happened, but, for some reason, their tale doesn't seem to be completely… true.
