Titans Tower, 25 years in the future:
The seven teenagers found themselves dumped outside Titans Tower. Once everyone pulled themselves up, Robin led the way up to the front door, the others following close behind. Before they could touch the door however, it swung open to reveal a violet haired girl of about 14.
Her bright green eyes lit up when she saw who was at the door and before anyone could stop her, she flung her arms around Raven in a bone-crushing hug that rivaled Starfire's. Raven, after a split second's hesitation, hugged her back. Terra raised an eyebrow. "What in the world is going on? And where are we anyways? This place looks different. Who's that girl?"
Before anyone could explain, Sparrow looked up, confusion registering on her face when she saw who was there. "Um…who are you?" she asked. "My name's Terra." Terra said, introducing herself. Sparrow's jaw dropped open. "Wait… your Terra?" Sparrow asked, her friendly attitude evaporating as her emerald eyes became as hard as the jewels they resembled. She turned to Moonfire opening her mouth to ask why she had brought the very woman who threatened her and Crow's existence to their home.
"Okay! Why don't we go inside and make ourselves at home?" Moonfire said loudly, trying to avoid having to answer any awkward questions. Before anyone, mainly Terra and Sparrow, could protest, Moonfire pushed everyone into the tower. "Where is everybody?" Cyborg asked. Sparrow shrugged. "They went to fight Plasmus a while ago." she said. "Should we go assist them?" Starfire asked, worriedly. "No, they've got things under control. In fact, they should be back soon." Raven looked around the room. "Where's Crow?" she asked, unable to find her son.
"On the roof meditating." Sparrow replied, jumping onto the couch and resuming what she had been doing before the rest of the Titans had gotten there… playing a game of Mega Monkeys 12. Beastboy and Cyborg's eyes widened at the sight. Sparrow turned to them and smiled. "There's two other controllers if you want." Before the words were out of her mouth, they were on the couch, controllers in their hands. A moment later, all three were absorbed in the game, Sparrow seeming to have completely forgotten about Terra, much to Moonfire's relief.
Raven rolled her eyes. "Like father, like daughter." she muttered, quietly enough so that only Robin, Starfire, and Moonfire could hear. They all nodded in agreement. "Would somebody PLEASE explain what the heck is going on?!?" Terra yelled, exasperated that nobody would answer her question. They turned toward her. "Were in the future." Robin explained, watching as Terra's eyes widened in shock and continuing before she could ask any questions.
"Twenty five years into the future actually. And in the future, we all go to the Justice League. But we have these new titans to protect the city in our place." "So… they're like the next generation of Teen Titans?" Terra asked. Robin nodded. "That's right." Terra seemed satisfied so the next few minutes were spent with Cyborg, Beastboy, and Sparrow playing their video game, Starfire, Robin and Moonfire talking to each other, Raven going to the roof to see Crow, and Terra exploring the tower.
A while later, the door opened and three clearly exhausted teenagers came in. Moonfire was the first to greet them. "Hey Moon." Wasp said, collapsing against the wall tiredly. "Hey, you guys okay? You look wiped out." Moonfire said. "Way to state the obvious." Darkstar muttered, rolling his eyes. "We'll be okay. The villains really took advantage of our team cut in half, but we took care of any trouble they tried." Stinger said, with a small but content smile. "Did you take care of Crow and Sparrow's problem?"
Moonfire shrugged, motioning behind her where Terra was. "Sorta." Their jaws dropped when they saw her there. "Is that…" Darkstar started. "Yup." Moonfire ended. "Um… how do I put this delicately? What is she doing here?!?" Wasp demanded. "Shh! She'll hear you! We had to bring her, we couldn't just leave her at the tower and come here. Besides, Uncle Beastboy already broke up with her, so it's fine. Everything's under control."
Darkstar, Stinger, and Wasp exchanged worried glances but they trusted their friend, and thus trusted her judgment, so in the end, they shrugged and agreed to put up with Terra. At that moment, everyone except for Terra came over. When Starfire caught sight of how torn-up the three were, she instantly pulled them into one of her signature hugs. "Oh, are you alright?" she asked, not aware that she was both cutting of their oxygen and crushing their ribs. "Well…we would be…if we could breath…" Darkstar choked out.
"Oh!" Suddenly aware of her strength, she let go, allowing them to fall to the floor and catch their breath. "Hard day?" Beastboy asked. "Yeah, you could say that." Stinger replied. "Did you guys find any leads on Slade?" Robin asked, unable to help the question. They all shook their heads. "Sorry, but we didn't find anything. You of all people know how well Slade covers his tracks. Plus we didn't have much spare time to search for clues." Darkstar explained.
Robin nodded, though he was clearly unhappy by the idea of Slade being out and them having no clue where he could possibly be. "Well, we're here now, so they'll be a lot more time to search for clues." Cyborg pointed out, trying to lighten the mood. The others nodded in agreement. "True…" Moonfire admitted, then turned toward Darkstar, Wasp, and Stinger. "Meanwhile, you guys go rest up. You've earned it."
The three happily agreed, and as everyone walked into the tower, Moonfire took a moment to look out toward the city. "Where are you Slade?" she thought, worry and anger clouding her mind. Sighing, she walked into the tower, shutting the door behind her.
Honestly people! Would it really kill you to leave a simple review? It'd be very much appreciated. Thanks for reading. Don't forget to review! (=
